69novels Chapter 34 Assassin
Chapter 34 Assassin
The sudden appearance of the two assassins filled Lu Zhao with doubt, because he really couldn't understand why the assassins would choose him.
If the six holy lands really don't want to let him go, they can simply send people to attack him.
Since he has no connections, naturally no one would care about him.
It is clearly illogical to have the six holy lands hire assassins and expend huge sums of money to deal with him, and the holy lands would not stoop to doing so.
If it's not the Holy Land, then who exactly wants to deal with him?
This left him in a state of confusion, unable to figure out exactly where the problem lay.
Given this situation, Lu Zhao had no choice but to deal with these assassins first.
Lu Zhao's brief encounters with the assassins had already revealed how terrifying they were.
At least the two assassins in front of them could defeat three minor realms.
This level of combat power would definitely rank among the top among the various holy sons, but such an assassin is not the most outstanding figure in the Assassin God Dynasty, nor is he a god-level figure.
These details alone reveal the depth of the Assassin Dynasty.
Lu Zhao did not go all out in order to attract the attention of other assassins, who might then support the assassin who made the move or launch a sudden attack on him.
The key point is that even after he kills this guy, even more powerful assassins will still be sent.
He would then face even more formidable opponents, but Lu Zhao still believed that as long as his contemporaries came, he would not be intimidated by anyone who made the move.
The reason he's not using his full strength now is to lure out the assassin hiding in the shadows.
He deliberately revealed a weakness, luring the assassin to attack and kill him.
Sure enough, another flash of cold light appeared, and the third assassin suddenly moved.
He hid in the crowd and launched a surprise attack at the crucial moment.
Moreover, all three assassins had ordinary appearances and were completely inconspicuous in a crowd.
It is precisely these kinds of people who often produce terrible results.
Faced with the assassin's terrifying sword strike, Lu Zhao also employed a similar tactic.
This is his secret technique: to use the enemy's own methods against them. He thoroughly understands the sword strike the assassin makes, quickly grasps its essence, and then strikes out in the same way.
Moreover, the principles it employs are even more terrifying, and its power is naturally even stronger.
Sure enough, the next moment, an even more terrifying sword light suddenly slashed towards the assassin, causing the assassin's expression to change instantly.
As a qualified assassin, he could tell that this was his method.
"The secret of the Dou character!" The assassin exclaimed in shock, and quickly retreated.
But it was too late. Lu Zhao's methods were too abrupt, even more so than their own. The key was their methods, which undermined his confidence at its root.
As expected, the assassin frantically tried to defend himself, but still couldn't escape.
His chest was slashed by the sword light, leaving a horrific bloodstain.
Even one of his hands had been severed, and blood was gushing from his wrist.
After the assassination attempt failed, the assassin immediately retreated, and the assassin who had been fighting Lu Zhao also quickly retreated.
After this brief exchange, they realized that Lu Zhao was not someone they could afford to provoke, and that they needed someone stronger.
After all, they were both in the Four Extremes Secret Realm, but they were still quite far behind.
The three assassins quickly disappeared into the crowd, preparing to slip away unnoticed.
However, once they made their move, Lu Zhao locked onto them completely. The faint Dao principles emanating from them became their fatal weakness.
The injured assassin, in particular, was now making numerous mistakes.
Lu Zhao acted swiftly, unleashing the full power of the Chaos Banner in his hand, while simultaneously channeling all his strength to attack the assassin.
The wounded assassin's expression changed; he knew he could no longer escape, so he quickly drew his sword and charged at Lu Zhao, engaging him in a life-or-death struggle.
However, after only a few moves, this guy was cleaved in two by Lu Zhao.
The entire body might explode completely, leaving no chance of survival.
After dealing with this person, Lu Zhao chased after the other two. The two were moving very fast and were about to enter Wangfeng City.
Lu Zhao made his move, unleashing a chaotic energy from the Chaos Banner in his hand, engulfing the assassin and tearing him to pieces.
But the last assassin still charged into the crowded city.
He wanted to use the mixed crowds in the city to shake off Lu Zhao's pursuit.
However, his move had virtually no effect on Lu Zhao.
Lu Zhao had already locked onto him and went straight for the assassin.
"How is this possible?" The assassin was starting to panic.
He was certain that Lu Zhao had already locked onto him, and hiding in the crowd was pointless.
So he stopped pretending and fled at top speed, rushing all the way to the city center and stepping onto the inter-domain teleportation array.
The assassin had no time to spare; he was only thinking about escaping Wangfeng City for the time being. As for where the teleportation array would take him, he didn't care anymore; he would deal with that once he reached his destination.
The next moment, the teleportation array flashed, carrying the assassin away.
Lu Zhao rushed over at lightning speed, and as the teleportation array flashed, he stepped into it and followed it to another location.
He also didn't know where the teleportation array would take him, so he could only decide after he arrived at the destination.
After all, in such a megacity, teleportation is usually between megacities and doesn't randomly send you to other places or into wastelands.
After Lu Zhao left the teleportation array, he indeed arrived at another giant city.
He still couldn't pinpoint exactly where he was; he could only follow the assassin's scent and chase after him.
Once the assassin entered the giant city, he quickly realized where he was.
Having already been here a few days earlier, he knew his location and immediately rushed in one direction.
Lu Zhao locked onto the assassin's location and chased after him.
During the escape, the assassin was slashed by Lu Zhao multiple times, leaving him with many bloody gashes and serious injuries.
But this guy didn't die; instead, he used his escape techniques multiple times.
He burned his own blood, which increased his escape speed.
As the two sides chased and fled, they soon came to see a floating divine island.
The island remained motionless, suspended in the sky, like a magnificent divine land, with celestial flowers blooming, waterfalls cascading, and springs flowing, transcending the mundane world.
Furthermore, numerous palaces are situated on the islands, with carved beams and painted rafters, dragons and phoenixes, and flowing clouds, resembling a divine kingdom beyond the world. Many mythical birds such as cranes and phoenixes fly among the islands.
Deep within the sacred island, there are endless mountains, towering high in the sky, majestic and awe-inspiring.
In the midst of the great mountains, there is a magnificent ancient city that will never sink and cannot be seen by outsiders. It is the most famous divine city of the Wind Clan, said to be an ancient divine city left behind by the gods.
"He actually came to the Wind Clan." Lu Zhao glanced at the vast island.
