The tall assassin in black was the instructor of more than 300 Dark Arrow assassins. Furious, he had been training contently with his people before realizing that the array formation outside was broken and his defense beasts were killed.
Their Syndicate was one of the top-10 assassin organizations of the Crimson Fire Continent. With their reputation, most self-cultivators were usually scared half to death upon seeing one of their members; even the Emperor of Lingyun had to behave himself.
Therefore, it was obvious that this arrogant young man was here to challenge them.
Qingfeng Li smiled faintly. “I’m Qingfeng Li. It was you people who tried to assassinate me, wasn’t it? Tell your boss to get the hell over here.”
The tall instructor sneered coldly, “So you’re Qingfeng Li. You could have gone anywhere else, but you chose to barge in here. Hmph, don’t even think about leaving now. Our boss is cultivating, you’re in no position to see him.”
With a whirl of his fist, the three hundred or so assassins all hurled themselves at Qingfeng Li. The tall assassin could tell that Qingfeng Li was extremely powerful and took him seriously.
Qingfeng Li easily broke through their array formation with his sword, so the instructor though that it would be easier to kill him with the combined efforts of all these people. Yet, he still underestimated Qingfeng Li’s abilities.
Qingfeng Li opened his mouth to spit out a ray of golden energy that shot through the skies. With a sharp descent, the energy shot into the instructor’s head, blowing a hole in his brain.
Plop!
The assassin instructor’s body fell to the ground lifelessly; his spiritual nascent soul tried to escape, but Qingfeng Li opened his mouth again to shoot out sound waves, killing and swallowing it up.
The three hundred or so assassins turned pale with horror upon seeing what just happened – they all knew how powerful their instructor was, but he was killed so quickly by Qingfeng Li! What kind of monster was he?
“Two thousand times gravity!”
Qingfeng Li bellowed as he used his emperor-level gravity technique. Gravity multiplied by two thousand times, pushing all the assassins hard onto the ground and immobilizing them.
Then, Qingfeng Li pulled out his Fire Supreme Sword – one, two, three – with three swift slashes, the three hundred or so assassins all dropped dead to the ground.
Most of these assassins were extremely powerful supreme realm cultivators. Too bad they were completely helpless in front of Qingfeng Li – talk about dying with grievance.
Qingfeng Li dealt with these assassins so fast that Mengyao Xu, Li Yang, Black Puppy, Sky-Swallowing Snake, and the Desert Giant didn’t even have to lift a finger.
The chaos that Qingfeng Li had created outside startled the head of the assassin’s organization, Li An, who was cultivating in seclusion deep within the Dark Arrow Assassin Organization’s Mountains.
Li An was a skinny but well-built elder who was more than 500 years old. With a murderous expression on his face, he flew out from deep within the mountains in a heartbeat.
Fury filled Li An’s eyes as he hovered above all the dead assassins’ bodies – this man killed all the talented disciples he had trained.
“How dare you kill people of the Dark Arrow Assassin Organization. Trust me when I say that I’m going to chop you up into pieces,” Li An said coldly.
Qingfeng Li said, “What did you think I would do when you ordered people to come kill me? I’m just giving you a taste of your own medicine. Now tell me, who told you to assassinate me?”
To his question, Li An replied, “You won’t need to know, because you’ll be dead soon.”
Li An crossed his palms in the air to create an ancient Mudra. After chanting a spell, heavy black fog began emerging around his body.
The black fog formed countless skeletons that were made of sonic spirit energy, all headed towards Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li frowned and said blandly, “I see, you’re an evil cultivator practicing the Devil Dao techniques.”
Li Yang stood next to Qingfeng Li, pale and frightened. As a girl, she was horrified of ghosts and demons.
Mengyao Xu patted Li Yang’s hands and said, “Don’t worry, Qingfeng Li will know what to do.”
In a second, Qingfeng Li whipped out the Thunder Lightning Pearl from his interspatial ring. This was the best treasure to counter evil and devilish energy, but he never thought about using it until now.
Qingfeng Li quickly employed the thunder chant to create streaks of lightening and thunder, which quickly swarmed into the Thunder Lightning Pearl, conducting the lightning and thunder from within.
Boom, boom, boom…
Hundreds of immensely powerful lightning and thunder bolts shot out of the Thunder Lightning Pearl and into the void, creating earth-shattering sounds.
The lightning and thunder cracked the black skeletons, blowing them all up in pieces as they disappeared into the skies.
Li An stepped back, his face pale. His expression turned into horror when he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Dumbfounded, Li An looked at Qingfeng Li, “How is this possible? You have the power of thunder and lightning?”
Qingfeng Li smiled and replied arrogantly, “Nothing is impossible. Now all I have to do is kill you with these powers.”
Li An’s expression changed upon hearing this. He wouldn’t be scared or worried if Qingfeng Li was any other self-cultivator. But, Qingfeng Li had in his hands thunder and lightning powers as strong as this, and this terrified Li An, a devil boss himself.
Li An suddenly turned around to run in opposite direction, but Qingfeng Li was quick to employ his wind elemental wings, creating a whirlpool in the air that obstructed Li An’s path.
While controlling the Thunder Lightning Pearl, he continued releasing the powers of thunder and lightning and smashed them at Li An.
Li An was a devil boss, but after he founded the Dark Arrow Assassin Organization, he rarely appeared in combat. This was because he was scared of being attacked by orthodox self-cultivators. So now that he was confronted by Qingfeng Li, a self-cultivator with the powers of thunder and lightning, he knew that he was screwed.
Li An tried to escape, but failed gloriously. Soon, the power Qingfeng Li released from his Thunder Lightning Pearl had burned through his entire body, and he fell heavily to the ground.
A half-dead Li An opened his mouth to spit up blood; he also couldn’t stop twitching.
Qingfeng Li held the Thunder Lightning Pearl in his hand and exclaimed, “No wonder this is considered the ultimate treasure of thunder and lightning, it’s unstoppable against devilish energy.”
Then, he walked up to Li An and smeared his right foot hard into Li An’s chest, breaking his rib cage. “Now, tell me. Who ordered you to assassinate me?”
