Chapter 416: Chapter 285: Heaven’s Decree, Sorting Out the Gains
“This, how is it possible?”
The figure incredulously looked at the large hole in his own chest.
He hadn’t sensed any attack, so why was his heart missing?
“Fourth Brother, what’s wrong?”
His companion, noticing something amiss, urgently asked.
But by then, Lu Qing’s sword light had already arrived.
With one strike, he split the assassin, whose heart had been hollowed out by Little Li, in half.
“Ah! Fourth Brother!”
The remaining two assassins, seeing their companion killed and the bloody hole in his chest, felt tears burst from their eyes.
At the same time, a chill ran down their spines.
Up to now, they still had no idea who had come, yet two of their companions had already perished on the spot.
Most crucially, they had all died very cleanly, without even a chance to use a proper defensive move, and were directly slain.
How did Fourth Brother’s heart disappear when the person before them clearly hadn’t come close to them?
The surviving two assassins felt their hearts tremble all the more as they thought about it.
After all, they were both at the Great Success of the Innate Realm!
Although they had taken shortcuts and used tricky methods to break through initially, depleting their potential,
Even if their potential was exhausted, they were still genuinely at the Great Success of the Innate Realm.
Yet they were being slaughtered like cutting vegetables by this mysterious person before them, which was unimaginable for the two remaining.
Even someone at the Perfection of the Innate Realm couldn’t do this, what kind of monster was this person in black before them?
While the remaining two assassins from Wujian Building were fearfully watching Lu Qing,
Lu Qing was also somewhat surprised.
He had found it strange just now; these assassins, despite all being at the Great Success of the Innate Realm,
Their aura felt somewhat empty, as if there was something superficial about them.
The truth had proven that the two he had slain did not exhibit the strength one should have at the Great Success of the Innate Realm.
At most, they were only somewhat stronger than the assassins who had attacked the small courtyard earlier, but only by a limited amount.
Not to mention comparing them to his master, even the Monk Xuan Nu whom he had wounded earlier in the day was far stronger.
However, although he found it strange, Lu Qing did not slack off.
He felt that the remaining two opposite him were accumulating a strange force near their chests, and at the same time, their aura was quickly soaring.
“Planning to use a life-or-death secret technique?”
Remembering what the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master had said, Lu Qing immediately shouted through divine soul transmission, “Little Li!”
As soon as his words fell, he saw Little Li’s figure emerge from the space in front of those two assassins, its claws reaching for one of their chests.
What the hell is that!
This time, the two assassins, their minds stretched to the limit, finally noticed Little Li.
But it was already too late.
The claws of Little Li, having undergone several transformations through bloodline and cultivation in the mind, had become incredibly sharp.
Even ordinary divine weapons could easily be destroyed.
Though the assassin reacted quickly, and the moment he noticed Little Li, he placed his short sword in front of his chest,
Before the unbreakable claws of Little Li, all efforts were in vain.
A flash of cold light appeared, and the assassin’s divine weapon short sword couldn’t even withstand a moment before it was cut by Little Li’s claws and plunged into his chest.
As his heart was plucked by Little Li, the assassin’s body stiffened violently, his eyes showing endless fear.
Because the next moment, Lu Qing’s blade was already before him, decapitating his head with one stroke.
The other assassin, in the midst of activating the secret technique, seeing another companion die right before him, completely broke down.
He threw caution to the wind, and even though the secret technique was only half-executed, he summoned all his power to rush at Lu Qing, thrusting with his sword.
For he feared if he did not make his move, he would never have another chance.
However, the last assassin, having only thrust his sword halfway, felt a pain in his chest, and all his movements suddenly halted.
He looked down at his chest, and unsurprisingly, there was a large hole.
Feeling the life fading from his body, the assassin gave a bitter smile.
He knew he was undoubtedly doomed.
Without a heart, even the most formidable warriors at the Perfection of the Innate Realm couldn’t continue to live.
However, before dying, there was one thing he must find out.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to close his eyes in death.
The assassin stared intently at Lu Qing’s face covered by the Ghost Face Mask: “Who exactly are you, and why do you attack us?”
“Wujian Building remnants, everyone deserves death,” Lu Qing said in a deep voice.
The last assassin’s eyes widened, the other party indeed knew their identity and had come specifically for them.
His mouth slightly opened, wanting to ask something more.
But Lu Qing did not give him the chance anymore, the long blade swept lightly, and the assassin’s head flew up, his body struggling for a few moments before crashing down to the ground.
“Indeed, there’s something wrong with their cultivation.”
After killing the last assassin, Lu Qing activated his superpower and looked toward the corpse.
Soon, a few lines of characters emerged from the assassin’s body.
He quickly read the lines, and his mind instantly understood.
These assassins from Wujian Building, although all at the Great Success of the Innate Realm, had their cultivation forcibly enhanced by the secret techniques of Wujian Building, at the cost of consuming their potential.
They had the realm but a shaky foundation, only slightly stronger than those at the Early Stage of the Innate Realm.
Compared to those who genuinely reached the Great Success of the Innate Realm through diligent cultivation, they were much inferior.
