Chapter 89: Assassination

splay the Thousand Miles One Line, even the master of Qingyang Palace believed that Su Xin's swordsmanship talent was worthy of being called the first in the history of the Tianyan Palace."With such t...Su Xin's heart was already deeply moved upon hearing this.

The sixth mountain master of Jiusheng Mountain, owed a favor to his ancestor

This sword shape talisman contains the sword intent of the sixth mountain master. Once the sword intent is unleashed, it can sweep across the Nirvana realm

"This card, it's too strong," Su Xin exclaimed.

"It's very powerful. Su Bai said, "With this talisman in hand, once my sword intent is unleashed, no one within the Heavenly Inferno Empire can withstand it."

"Unfortunately, the trump card will always remain a trump card. Once the sword intent within this talisman is used, there will be no second one. Therefore, unless our Su family truly reaches the brink of life and death, we will never use this trump card."

Su Xin nodded.

He also understood that although this trump card was formidable and unstoppable, it was merely a sword intent. After using it once, it would be gone, so naturally, he couldn't use it lightly.

Even though it was Nie Jiuyou… Su Bai’s eyes glinted with a hint of coldness.

"Nie Jiuyou possessed unrivaled combat strength at the Void Breaking Realm. He stormed into my Su family, forcefully plundered resources, and carried out a massacre. Back then, due to some circumstances, I was unable to break the seal within my body, so naturally, I couldn't fight him. He had pushed my Su family to the brink of extinction, and I was almost forced to use this talisman."

"Fortunately, Nie Jiuyou isn't stupid either. Perhaps he also guessed that my Su family might have some backup plan, so he didn't dare to really exterminate my Su family. Otherwise…" Remember the URL

Su Xin also nodded secretly.

Inside the Heavenly Flame Palace's Hundred Battles Hall, there was a regular mission to kill Nie Jiuyou. That mission mentioned that although Nie Jiuyou was greedy, he was very cautious in his actions.

"Xin'er, this token, I also give it to Su Bai. Su Bai, hand the token to Su Xin."

"Father, this..." Su Xin frowned.

Three treasures left by the ancestors.

That secret technique isn't anything special. Just take it if you want to.

And the Blood Cloud Killing Array was also very useful to him. Since his own father didn't want it, he took it.

But this third treasure...

This is the Su family's biggest trump card.

"Take it, Su Bai," Chen chuckled. "The situation for the Su family is much better now than before. With you, a disciple of the Heavenly Flame Palace, here, no one dares to target our Su family anymore. Naturally, there's no need for this talisman. It's more like..."

Su Baichen looked at Su Xin and solemnly said, “In the future, as you venture out into the world, you will inevitably encounter dangers, and sometimes even threats to your life... The talisman is gone, so it's gone. But if you were to die in an accident, that would be a real disaster for our Su family!”

Su Xin's heart moved, and he immediately understood.

The Su family, with him, a disciple of the Heavenly Flame Palace, present one day, no one dared to provoke them.

But if he were gone, even with that talisman as a trump card, he would still be overthrown.

"With this talisman in hand, if you ever encounter a perilous situation out there, it should be able to save your life," Su Bai said.

Upon hearing Su Bai's words, Su Xin no longer refused. After receiving the imperial decree, Su Xin suddenly raised his head and asked, "Father, how did our ancestor die"

The death of the Su family's ancestor was a secret.

Several elders of the Su family, including this young master, were unaware of the cause of their ancestor's death.

All I knew was that the Ancestor had been well, but one day he suddenly began to make arrangements for his own funeral.

Don't ask

Su Bai's voice was a little low, "As I said, when your strength reaches a certain level, you can destroy the entire Situ family single-handedly, I will tell you everything. But now, it's still too early."

Su Xin frowned.

He vaguely felt that the death of the Su family's ancestor might also be related to the secret on his father.

Unfortunately, this secret is not something he's entitled to know yet.

"Go on," Su Bai said, waving his hand.

Su Xin didn't ask any further. After once again respectfully kowtowing to the Su family patriarch, he turned and left.

After leaving the Su family ancestral hall, Su Xin felt heavy in his heart.

The old ancestor of the family had left behind three treasures for the family, but now his father had given all three treasures to himself.

This is equivalent to entrusting the entire Su family completely to him alone.

His life and death can be said to represent the fate of the Su family!

Therefore, he absolutely cannot die!!

……

In the following days, Su Xin remained in the Su family estate. Besides guiding the clan members at the martial arts field, Su Xin spent most of his time studying the secret techniques and Blood Cloud Killing Formation left behind by their ancestor.

That technique is too advanced.

Su Xin yi realized that even if he comprehended and mastered this secret technique, his current cultivation level wouldn't allow him to wield it at all.

On the other hand, that Blood Cloud Killing Formation only needs to be refined and then slowly mastered.

The process of refining was effortless, and in just a few days, Su Xin had mastered the use of this killing formation.

On the eleventh day of Su Xin's return to the Su family, Su Xin bid farewell to his father and numerous relatives, returning to Tianyan Palace.

……

Su Xin was returning to Tianyan Palace.

Across the vast emptiness, Su Xin walked alone at a leisurely pace toward the front.

"This time, I stayed in the family for a full ten days. Those who wanted to kill me, the Situ family, and that Qi Wangfu... If they really wanted to make a move, they should have been fully prepared by now."

"I'm afraid the moment I left, word spread throughout the family like wildfire. Someone must have been following me this whole time."

Su Xin smiled faintly.

The Si family, and certainly the Qi Wangfu, definitely want to kill him. That much is certain. The only question is whether they dare to actually make a move against him.

Before that, he had been cultivating in Tianyan Palace. Even when he occasionally went out to complete missions, he would directly arrive at the mission area through a spatial channel and return to Tianyan Palace immediately after completion. Even Prince Qi's Mansion couldn't get advance notice to secretly prepare.

But this time it was different.

This time, he was back to his own family. The place had been under intense scrutiny for a long time, and after staying there for ten days, the Qi Wangfu had ample time to prepare an attack against him.

Su Xin estimated that if he walked any farther, he would be assassinated...

Of course, although knowing he would be assassinated, Su Xin was not worried at all.

First of all, he is incredibly strong on his own. Among those at the peak of the Void Breaking realm, he is among the very best. Furthermore, he possesses the Blood Cloud Killing Array, along with two powerful trump cards: the Divine Annihilation Forbidden Technique and Heaven's Gift Supernatural Ability. With these at his disposal, most people would truly have nothing to fear from him.

Furthermore, he had already reported the matter to the Mistress of the Emperor Moon Palace.

……

As Su Xin had expected, on a desolate mountain several dozen li ahead of him, four figures were gathered there.

All four of them wore eerie blood-patterned black robes, their faces covered with bloody and ferocious masks, revealing only their eyes and noses.

A purple, eagle-like monster suddenly flew from the distant void and landed on one person's shoulder.

This person took off the paper strip tied to the monster's foot and opened it to take a look.

"Notify everyone immediately and prepare!"

In half a stick of incense, the target will appear!

Beneath a menacing mask, a low and gravelly voice emerged.

These people are waiting quietly.

As expected, after half an incense stick's time, a young figure appeared on the horizon.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp arrow shot out with a piercing whistle, instantly echoing throughout the void.

Su Xin's footsteps faltered, and he looked up ahead.

Are you here

Su Xin saw that at the end of his line of sight, four black figures appeared out of thin air. They were dressed in blood-patterned black robes and wore ferocious black masks on their faces, swiftly sweeping through the void like ghosts, charging straight toward him.

It's not just the front, but also two other directions around. Four figures in black robes with ferocious masks rushed towards them from each direction as well.

"Twelve people!"

"And they are all peak Void Realm experts!"

"The Prince Qi's Mansion, they really do treat me well,"

Su Xin raised an eyebrow.

Sending out twelve Void-Breaking Peak experts in one breath, such a lavish expenditure is something the Situ family couldn't possibly achieve. Only the more powerful Qi Wangfu, which possesses immense power and terrifying strength throughout the entire Tianyan Imperial Dynasty, could have done so.

Su Xin's face grew grave, and the dark-blue divine sword appeared in his hand.

However, before the twelve black-robed masked men could even make a move,

Splish splash ~~

A terrifying blade of light, yet it suddenly shone brightly.

This blade of light, as if capable of splitting mountains and cracking earth, is immensely powerful.

"Is anyone there"

The twelve black-robed figures were all startled, and immediately four of them made a move together.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, the four black-robed, masked men who made the attack were sent flying backwards by the blade's light.

The aftershock of the blade spread, even affecting other robed figures. It forced them all to halt their steps.

"Hmph, dare to attack my Tianyan Palace disciples, you have guts!"

A furious roar shook the heavens and earth. A tall, imposing man with a giant sword on his shoulder stepped through the air.

Though the imposing aura emanating from this man was only at the peak of the Profound Void realm, every step he took exerted an invisible pressure that made these black-robed, masked figures present feel a tightening in their hearts.

"Unrivaled in the Void Realm!!"

These masked figures in black immediately understood the visitor's strength.

“Seeing that it was Tianyan Palace member Su Xin, he was overjoyed. He knew this burly man must be the helper arranged for him by the Master of Emperor Moon Palace.”

Judging from the power of that single strike, this burly man clearly possesses the invincible combat strength of a Void Breaker Realm expert.

"Hold him, Second Team, Third Team!"

"Squad, follow me and eliminate the target!"

Although the appearance of the burly man was unexpected to these black-robed, masked men, they remained remarkably calm and immediately issued their orders.

They attacked in teams of four, with two teams totaling eight people charging at the burly man simultaneously.

And the remaining four men charged toward Su Xin.

Both sides instantly clashed.

Hiss!

The burly man wielded his blade with an air of unparalleled dominance, each swing seeming to cleave mountains and shatter peaks. His power was formidable, yet despite possessing the invincible strength of a Void Breaker, facing eight peak-level Void Breakers simultaneously proved a challenge he couldn't easily overcome.

"Su Xin, my brothers, I can only hold back these eight for you. As for the remaining four, it's up to you," the burly man shouted.

Thank you, brother.

Su Xin responded with a sentence, and he had already fought with the four black-robed masked men.

These black-faced men not only wore identical attire, but their weapons were also the same, all wielding a bizarre blood-colored short blade.

That blood-red dagger was incredibly sharp, and its blade faintly emitted a black glow, clearly coated with deadly poison.

If this were to be accidentally hit by their blade, the consequences would be dire.

Moreover, the moment they clashed, Su Xin realized that these black-robed masked men were not only at the peak of the Void Breaking realm, but each one was an extremely powerful existence among the peak of the Void Breaking realm. The weakest were estimated to have already comprehended five essences of the Dao, while the stronger ones had even comprehended eight.

Although Su Xin unleashed his full power, he was still completely suppressed under the combined attacks of the four.

"Ding!"

A metallic clang echoed through the air, and Su Xin hurriedly leaped backward.

"Great!"

"That's really impressive!"

Su Xin's gaze was icy, staring at the four black-robed masked men in front of him, but a cold and sharp smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

"I was just worried I couldn't find any opponents, and you four showed up."

"Today, I'll use the four of you to test the might of my formation!"

Su Xin flipped his left hand over, taking out a blood-red bead.

"Blood Cloud Killing Formation... Activate!"

……owed respectfully.Su Xin also stood up and followed suit."You, are you Su Xin" The man in white robes looked at Su Xin gently.Su Xin looked up and met the gaze of the man in white.In an instant, Su Xi...
