Chapter 379 Assassination
Chu Zhiyuan had already sheathed the broken knife, but his expression was still a little ugly.
Zou Fang whispered: "Master Shizi..."
"It doesn't matter." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.
He came to the window and looked at the exit of the restaurant under the window, watching Li Hongzhao, dressed in red, merge into the noisy crowd surrounded by people.
Li Hongzhao suddenly stopped, and if he felt something, he turned around and looked over.
His eyes collided with Chu Zhiyuan's.
She curled her red lips, rolled her eyes at him, turned around and continued walking forward, quickly disappearing from Chu Zhiyuan's sight.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
No matter how many losses she suffered, she would never give in and always wanted to win back the next time.
The more frustrated I become, the more courage I get.
This is a bit troublesome.
Chu Zhiyuan touched his chin, thinking about what moves he could use to defeat her directly.
Did you pick up Linglong Library?
She had been alert for a long time, but she might not have been able to hit her vital points. Defeat her again?
It's hard to work out, and she has been able to accept failure.
Hitting her through the realm again and again made her accustomed to it.
He was still thinking, and there was a muffled "bang" sound.
Chu Zhiyuan looked at it intently.
But a group of people screamed, as if some monster came out and wreaked havoc on the crowd.
Chu Zhiyuan frowned, and his super sense was released, covering a kilometer radius.
As the Glazed Sword Sutra progresses, the super-sensory range also expands, reaching one thousand meters without realizing it.
He saw Li Hongzhao wielding his sword, and the guards around him were surrounding the two of them.
Li Hongzhao was fighting fiercely with an old man. At the same time, Su Qiuyan and a middle-aged man were slowly making moves.
Above the middle-aged man's head is a huge toad, which is looking up to the sky, seeming to be swallowing the moonlight.
Su Qiuyan fought with him inextricably.
And Li Hongzhao's long sword was filled with purple flames, and his skills were operating to the extreme. A fire phoenix vaguely appeared in the shadow of the sword, a flying phoenix.
Her opponent, the old man, had a small snake on his head, a golden snake.
Chu Zhiyuan was thoughtful.
Li Hongzhao's cultivation level is not as good as that of the old man, but he can still compete with the old man on par because the Phoenix Sword Technique is so powerful.
The heat of her Phoenix Sword Art is indeed extremely deep and powerful.
But as time went by, it still failed. Her Phoenix Sword Art was not enough to make up for the gap in cultivation.
This is the fundamental difference between her and herself.
Her skills are close to the Tao, and martial arts can make up for the gap in cultivation, but she cannot.
No matter how deep the heat of the Phoenix Sword Art is, it cannot be pushed forward one step beyond the scope of the Phoenix Sword Art.
After all, it is limited to the Phoenix Sword Technique itself, and its power is not enough to cross the realm gap.
Not far away, the masters of the Zhenwu Division had already swooped over. After taking a few breaths, the four masters rushed to her to rescue her.
It was really a genius idea to assassinate Li Hongzhao on the street.
I really don’t know what to say.
If your cultivation is strong enough, that's fine. No matter how crude it is, whatever means you use, success will be fine.
But the cultivation level is not strong enough to form a crushing force.
His cultivation level cannot be crushed, and he doesn't choose the ideal place to assassinate in a hurry. His success depends entirely on luck.
I really don’t know what I think.
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, and at the same time two phantoms flew out of his sleeves.
The two phantoms instantly crossed a distance of several hundred meters, ignoring the old man's sword light, and instantly shot through his shoulders.
They stopped on top of the old man's head, but two flying knives were suspended in the air, looking down at the old man.
Li Hongzhao took the opportunity to use his killer move.
Amidst a clear chirping sound, the figure of the fire phoenix appeared again in the sword light.
The sword tip suddenly accelerated and pierced the old man's chest.
Draw your sword and retreat.
The old man clutched his chest, his eyes widened in disbelief, staring at Li Hongzhao, and then looked down at his heart.
Li Hongzhao's beautiful face was covered with a layer of frost and she gave him a cold look.
He raised his head and glanced at the two flying knives suspended in mid-air, then looked at Su Qiuyan and the other guards.
Two of the Cloud Riders have fallen, and the remaining twelve are besieging the two middle-aged men.
Chu Zhiyuan's voice came from far away: "Do you still want to help?"
"...No need!"
Li Hongzhao gritted his teeth, ignored the old man who slowly fell to the ground, swung his sword and rushed into the Cloud Rider, attacking the two middle-aged men. At this time, the experts from the Zhenwu Division had arrived.
"Let's go!" The middle-aged man who was struggling with Su Qiuyan shouted loudly, dodged, picked up two middle-aged men and shot them into the distance.
"Chi!"
A flying knife suddenly appeared in front of his eyebrows.
He raised his head to avoid it, but he didn't want the flying knife to turn around, suddenly accelerate and hit him between the eyebrows.
"Ding..." He put his finger between his eyebrows, wearing a rose iron ring on his finger, and sparks flew out.
Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.
The great master dodged again and got into the crowd with the two middle-aged people.
Although Chu Zhiyuan's flying knife was fast, he could not catch up with it.
He shook his head regretfully.
Li Hongzhao stamped his feet, anxious and angry.
Su Qiuyan's expression changed slightly.
If the Grand Master didn't have a ring on his finger and the ring wasn't so strong, he would be stabbed.
This move hit him between the eyebrows, and even if it couldn't kill him, it was enough to injure him.
Thus giving yourself a chance to take action.
Chu Zhiyuan's flying knife was already outrageous in the legend, but the reality was even more outrageous than the legend.
Can you avoid this flying knife?
It's hard!
He was fast enough, could turn corners, and was hard to guard against. More importantly, Chu Zhiyuan was not affected by the Grand Master's aura and could hit the Grand Master accurately.
This is the scariest thing.
The core advantage of the Grand Master, the fundamental power that crushes other realms, is ineffective against him.
With the arrival of the masters of Zhenwu Division, this sudden assassination ended in an anticlimactic manner.
The two fallen Cloud Riders saved their lives under Li Hongzhao's elixir.
They were naturally grateful to Li Hongzhao, and their loyalty was even higher.
After Li Hongzhao settled them, he turned around and came to Mingyue Tower, only to find that Chu Zhiyuan was no longer in Mingyue Tower.
So she came to Chu Zhiyuan's new house next to Mingyue Tower.
Knocking on the door, Zou Fang stepped forward and opened the door, respectfully asking her to enter.
Li Hongzhao entered the courtyard and was led by Zou Fang to the second courtyard.
Chu Zhiyuan was sitting in a lounge chair, basking in the sun leisurely.
Seeing her appear, Chu Zhiyuan pointed to a reclining chair next to him.
Li Hongzhao hummed and lay down in the chair, his graceful body rising and falling.
She suddenly felt at peace.
The previously boiling emotions suddenly sank to the soles of my feet, no longer impetuous.
Chu Zhiyuan asked: "Who are these assassins?"
"Swallowing Heaven Sect!" Li Hongzhao said bitterly: "I didn't expect to follow you."
Chu Zhiyuan pondered: "Swallowing Heaven Sect..."
He was thinking about the information about the Tiantian Sect in his mind, which he had seen from the Supervision Department and Tongtian Pavilion.
After a moment, he suddenly nodded: "It should come from the same source as the Jade Cauldron Sect."
The Jade Cauldron Sect swallows essence and blood to improve their cultivation, and the Heaven Swallowing Sect is similar.
They are also lawless, and they especially like to devour the essence and blood of the royal disciples.
The Jade Cauldron Sect is like this, and the Tiantian Sect is the same.
Such a sect, if not for its tyranny, would have been wiped out by the imperial court long ago.
The fact that it can survive to this day shows that the power behind it is so powerful that even the emperor's sword can't do anything about it.
"I didn't assassinate you earlier, I didn't assassinate you later, why did you assassinate me now?"
"They must have just arrived."
"These people from the Tiantian Sect know that Mr. Su is not here and took advantage of it?"
"..."
"Haha..." Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
Li Hongzhao glanced at him.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Don't you find it interesting that Dameng, the number one secret spy, also falls for the secret spy?"
"Maybe it's a coincidence." Li Hongzhao said.
Chu Zhiyuan laughed again.
