Chapter 105: Shadow Blade Assassination, A Path to Death

Taiyi Golden Light Step!

A figure appeared as silent as a ghost beneath the third tree on the left.

Having a powerful Divine Sense has its benefits; the efficiency of finding Opportunity has greatly increased.

Previously, Zhou Chen could only search bit by bit according to the descriptions on the opportunity panel, which was very slow.

There was even one time when he was delayed too long searching for an Opportunity and ran into Blood Wuhen.

After confirming that there were no other dangers nearby besides a few Low Grade fire lizards.

Zhou Chen extended his index finger, and a sharp Sword Qi shot out, precisely cutting a small opening in the ground.

A red copper box covered in mud was extracted.

Opening the box, a completely crimson Medicinal Pill lay quietly inside.

Zhou Chen didn't even look at it and tossed the Medicinal Pill directly into his storage ring.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for intercepting the Opportunity: Saint-Grade Low Grade Crimson Spirit Bloodline Pill, triggering a hundredfold return! Obtained: Saint-Grade High Grade Dragon-Jiao Bloodline Pill. Claim immediately?]

"Claim immediately!"

A fist-sized Medicinal Pill appeared in Zhou Chen's palm.

The surface of the Medicinal Pill was covered with purple-gold pill patterns, and the faint phantoms of a Dragon and a Jiao appeared and disappeared.

"Xiao Hong, something delicious has arrived!"

Zhou Chen summoned the Red Flame Crystal Tiger.

Xiao Hong looked at the Medicinal Pill, its huge tiger eyes filled with yearning, and emitted a low whimper toward Zhou Chen.

Its instinct told it that this was an Opportunity for it to be reborn!

Zhou Chen flicked his finger, and the Dragon-Jiao Bloodline Pill flew precisely into Xiao Hong's huge mouth.

"Roar!!!"

The moment the Medicinal Pill entered its belly, Xiao Hong let out a deafening roar.

Its entire coat of crimson fur stood on end, erupting with blinding blood-colored light.

Violent power surged and collided within its body, and its size actually began to expand again.

The bone wings on its back grew wildly, faintly covered with a layer of dark red chitin similar to Dragon scales.

Afterwards, Xiao Hong, who had fallen into a deep sleep, was quickly recalled by Zhou Chen into the spirit beast pouch.

However, just as Zhou Chen was preparing to leave this place!

Three pitch-black shadows appeared simultaneously and silently at Zhou Chen's side.

From three directions, three cold glints glowing with blue light, extremely ruthless, stabbed directly at Zhou Chen's heart, Dantian, and throat!

Clearly coated with deadly poison!

Facing such a professional assassination, any Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator, or even an ordinary half-saint, would likely have met their end on the spot!

However, they had encountered Zhou Chen!

With the Divine Sense boost brought by the Nine Firmament Spirit Refining Art, Zhou Chen's Divine Sense strength far exceeded that of an ordinary Nascent Soul!

"Hmph!"

Zhou Chen did not turn back.

Undying Golden Body!

Nine Firmament Spirit Refining Art!

The powerful Divine Sense force instantly transformed into invisible spikes, fiercely stabbing into the three people's Sea of Consciousness!

Pfft!

The three Nascent Soul tenth-layer assassins froze, their movements suddenly stiffening, and their faces instantly became blank!

Now is the time!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Zhou Chen threw three consecutive punches.

Before the few could even let out a muffled groan, their bodies exploded, and their life force was completely severed!

Instant kill!

The next moment, three streams of light flew out from their bodies, fleeing rapidly in different directions.

It was clearly their Nascent Souls!

However, before they could run far, the Nascent Souls exploded, their souls and bodies destroyed.

It was precisely the Spirit Cone Stab of the Nine Firmament Spirit Refining Art.

Condensing Divine Sense into a terrifying spirit cone, stabbing it into the enemy's Sea of Consciousness, and then detonating it.

If one's Divine Sense strength is insufficient and they are hit by Zhou Chen, the light consequence is dementia, and the heavy consequence is the destruction of soul and body.

"It's your turn."

Zhou Chen said indifferently, his gaze looking toward the shadow of a giant rock in the distance.

The two men in black hiding here were scared out of their wits seeing this scene!

"How did he know we were here?!"

The two looked at each other, both seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

"Split up and run!"

The two turned and fled without hesitation!

"Can you run?"

Taiyi Golden Light Step!

A flash of golden light appeared, and Zhou Chen instantly caught up to one of the men in black.

Spirit Cone Stab!

"Ah!"

The assassin let out a short, shrill scream, bleeding from his seven orifices, and plummeted from high in the air.

Before his Nascent Soul could escape, it was instantly crushed by Zhou Chen.

Shadow Escape!

The other man in black suddenly bit down on something in his mouth, his body instantly turning into a thin wisp of black smoke, about to merge into the air and escape!

"A mere trick!"

A cold glint flashed in Zhou Chen's eyes, and his terrifying Divine Sense force erupted instantly.

That wisp of black smoke, about to dissipate, was forcibly frozen in place!

"Great Desolation Finger! Die!"

In an instant, a giant finger as black as ink, ignoring spatial distance, directly pierced through the man in black.

Boom!

The man in black instantly disintegrated, not even leaving his Nascent Soul behind.

Only corpses and dead silence remained in the surroundings.

"Yanhuo Holy Land, Wang Yue! You won't let this go, will you!"

At this moment, Zhou Chen's eyes were filled with coldness.

Through the black-clad man's opportunity panel, Zhou Chen knew that it was Wang Yue playing tricks behind the scenes again.

"One hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones, you are really generous, you already have a path to death!"

Wang Yue's actions had completely infuriated Zhou Chen.

Annoying flies are better off killed sooner.

Yanhuo Holy Land, in the Earth Fire Room.

The scorching aura almost distorted the space.

Ye Chen sat cross-legged beside the surging magma pool, his originally fair skin stretched until his veins bulged.

He forcibly swallowed three more Yanling Barrier-Breaking Pills, and the violent medicinal power rampaged within his Dantian.

Although the pain was unbearable, it allowed Ye Chen's Realm to climb to the tenth layer of Core Formation.

"Enough!"

An old voice sounded in Ye Chen's mind, carrying deep disappointment.

"If you continue to disregard your Foundation and forcibly take Medicinal Pills like this, even a Fire Spirit Body cannot bear it! The pill poison has penetrated deep into your meridians; this is cutting off your own future path!"

"Shut up!"

Ye Chen opened his eyes abruptly, his eyes bloodshot, carrying a near-pathological madness.

"What future path? If I don't kill Zhou Chen, what use is this future path to me?!"

He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, unaware of the blood oozing out.

The way Zhou Chen showed his brilliance at the Ten Thousand Sects Grand Competition that day made him insanely jealous.

Why was Zhou Chen first?! Why was Zhou Chen allowed to enter the Taichu Holy Land!

That was all originally his, Ye Chen's!

The Ring Spirit's voice fell silent, and only a heavy sigh could be heard.

These days, he had also advised Ye Chen countless times, telling him not to continue being obsessed and deluded, but all he received was Ye Chen's disgust and impatience.

Perhaps, he really gave up.

For the first time, the Ring Spirit realized that Ye Chen, this piece of uncut jade, was ultimately ruined.

Feeling the surging power within his body, a nameless evil fire surged in Ye Chen.

Revenge!

He needed to take revenge immediately!

Who to take revenge on?

Got it!

Seemingly having thought of something, the corners of Ye Chen's mouth curled into a cold arc, and he stood up abruptly.

The stone door of the Earth Fire Room opened with a boom, and the Yanhuo Holy Land Disciples waiting outside only felt a fierce aura rushing toward them, suffocating.

Outer Sect Disciple living area.

Liu Qianru was carefully watering a Spirit Medicine in the spirit field with spirit liquid.

Compared to her comfortable life at the Wenxian Sect, her days at the Yanhuo Holy Land could be described as destitute, and her cultivation had stalled.

Suddenly, a pressure descended abruptly, smashing down on her fiercely!

The jade bottle in Liu Qianru's hand fell to the ground and shattered with a "snap," and the spirit liquid splashed everywhere.

Her face turned pale, and she looked up abruptly.

Ye Chen looked down at her, a sneer on his face.

"Yo, isn't this Senior Sister Liu Qianru, daughter of Wenxian Sect Master Liu Qingtian, the once proud daughter of heaven? Why are you doing this kind of rough work of an Outer Sect Disciple?"

Ye Chen walked closer step by step, aggressive.

"What, after leaving the Wenxian Sect and arriving at the Yanhuo Holy Land, you can only be a waste who plants medicine? Senior Sister Liu's talent, it wouldn't be all just hype, would it? Ahahahahaha!"
