Fang Wu calmly nodded, saying, "Mask, I can only trust you to kill them. I'll admit that they are most likely as powerful as me or slightly more. But even the peak stage Great Elders can't detect your assassination arts! Don't worry about combusting your blood essence and burning your soul, I will gladly make up everything in the end."
The masked grandmaster calmly nodded. "Understood, young master. Although, if I may ask, do you not find it highly suspicious that three types of unfathomable geniuses suddenly appeared here? Perhaps there's a ploy at foot?"
Fang Wu was silent for a few moments. Even hours before, he ran numerous scenarios through his head.
In the end, he could only come down to one conclusion. "Maybe there is a plot, maybe not. The only thing I can confirm is that those three have no unique soul crystals within them. The Soul Radar works or even lower Heavenly Venerates, it would naturally work on those three no matter how high their combat prowess is. We can at least attest their deaths won't be instantly known. And when you kill them, you must remember to bring them back here. I will take care of the corpses."
Fang Wu truly sounds confident. But his soul was faintly rustling with anxiety.
Who knows?
Perhaps those three monstrous geniuses can erupt with something to counter the masked man assassination arts?
If that were to happen, disaster would spell. Even if Fang Chie could cover up all of his tracks in this case, it was still evident to Fang Chie's group, the Great Elders, and the gate guards that he had an altercation with Cain's group.
It would only be natural he'll be placed under extreme suspicion if something happen to Cain's group.
This plan was extremely risky. Perhaps even a foolish.
But what was the life of a cultivator without extreme risks?
Fang Wu knew it. If he can obtain the corpses of those three, he would have an extremely high chance of soaring through the heavens!
Their secret treasures would all be his for the taking!
He wouldn't be stuck at the King stage anymore. Perhaps he would have a chance to achieve the fabled stage. At the very least close to the Monarch stage.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAdditionally, if Cain's group were to go to the longevity feast, Fang Wu knew there would be absolutely no way he can gain the attention of the Lightning Destruction Sect.
All the limelight would be on Cain's group for the entire duration.
For the sake of his martial path and his own state of mind, Fang Wu was determined to take this immense risk!
The masked man could see the blazing determination surging through Fang Wu's eyes. There weren't any more words needed.
A scarlet glow faintly shrouded the masked man. His figure instantly vanished. Not just his physical form, even when Fang Wu spread his divine sense, he still couldn't detect the masked man!
The plan was set. All Fang Wu could do now was return to his quarters and wait for whatever results comes.
...
It was deep into the night.
Within the honored guest's quarter, Cain, Kali, and Luo Na were peacefully cultivating. They seemed as if their senses were completely turned off from the outside world.
But right at this moment, a silent change rippled throughout the entire atmosphere.
Near undetectable Dao law principles sealed the entirety of space. Nobody will be able to sense what was going on. Or hear any sound of a chaotic battle.
Within this sealed space, three shadow tendrils gleamed with a faint scarlet glow pierced toward, Cain, Kali, and Luo Na's skulls!
Not only did the scarlet shadow tendrils fly without raising any sound or exuded a terrifying law momentum.
But their speed has far surpassed the reaction of everything.
Even ordinary peak stage grandmasters wouldn't be able to react!
For the scarlet shadow tendrils credit, Kali and Luo Na only felt a rippling sensation stir from their souls. Their brows tightly furrowed as their bodies twitched to move.
But there was no need for the girls to make a move.
Cain had already reacted. His Chaos Soul Sense had long sense disturbance within the atmosphere.
When space was sealed, his Chaos energy principles also engulfed the entirety of the area!
The scarlet shadow tendrils couldn't make it inches toward Cain, Kali, and Luo Na.
At that moment, Cain's mouth snapped open, and a harrowing dragon roar unleashed into the divine world!
'Rwaa!!'
The divine roars of a dragon froze everything. Space violently trembled.
From the divine dragon roar, Cain's divine law principles forcefully forced out a presence expertly hiding in space.
A scarlet shadow smashed into the ground. The masked man's body was violently trembling. Blood was leaking from his ears and nose.
His protective Dao aura and Dao defenses absolutely could not defend against Cain's overwhelming divine laws.
The very moment the masked man was forced out, Kali coldly snorted. Her hands gleamed an illuminating ice Dao rune.
With a casual flick, the ice Dao rune instantly penetrated the masked man's body.
Divine ice law principles tremendously amplified by mysterious concept principles completely engulfed the masked man's scarlet shadow Dao laws!
'This?!?' The masked man was in utter horror.
It was impossible for him to resist. All of his Dao law principles were being frozen over. And when frozen over, a mysterious concept of principles was completely sealing its essence energy, effectively eliminating every ounce of his power!
To finish it off, Cain casually flicked out a lightning-ice chain.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe lightning-ice chain soared unhindered.
'Chi!'
Blood wildly splashed out.
The masked man wanted to shriek in anguish. But his cries could not come out. The lightning-ice chain had brutally pierced straight through his heart!
Blood was pouring out his chest like a waterfall. And the worst part, instead of instantly dying, Cain and Kali were drawing out this process as long as possible.
It was an agonizingly slow death. Feeling as if his entire body, mind, and soul were being slowly rippled apart, limb by limb!
When forced out into the open, it was only natural that the masked man couldn't put up any resistance.
He was an expert whose Dao laws focused purely on concealment and killing power. His Dao defense was utterly terrible. Practically fragile glass when even in front of an ordinary peak middle stage grandmaster.
Even though there were shockwaves from the brief killing, Cain's Chaos energy principles blocked anything from coming out of this room. Not a single person will know about this assassination attempt.
When only a few seconds passed, Cain finally decided to end it. He mercilessly unleashed a wave of Chaos energy that completely vaporized the masked man's soul.
The masked man's corpse violently jerked. He was slaughtered like he was a mere ant.
"Hah!" Kali coldly chuckled. "That was a bit interesting! We still could've dodged, but it would've been a bit troublesome to track that man down. So, I'm assuming you instantly killed him because he holds no valuable information, right?"
"Right." Cain nodded. "The most he'll have is about the Fang family and probably some tidbits about that feast. And we won't be staying in the Fang family, and we won't be staying at that feast for long when we start to fight."
With a flick of his wrist, Cain shot out a small line of Chaos light. The Chaos light instantly engulfed the masked man's corpse.
It was instantaneous. Not even a single ripple of power occurred when the Chaos light vaporized the corpse into tiny light particles.
Cain continue to say, "No matter what Fang Wu had on this guy, he won't get notified at all. And I doubt he'll want to send another if one has already mysteriously vanished without a trace. Let's get back to cultivating."
"Right." Kali and Luo Na seriously nodded. They already put the assassination attempt far out of their minds.
