Chapter 1131 A King Never Dies from Assassination
"He's gone mad. Assassins are invincible; they can't even hide from them."

"Zhou Daqian actually wanted to break free of his personal guards and face the dangerous assassin head-on. Has he gone mad?"

Upon witnessing this scene, Dongfang Daqian was both excited and furious, and exclaimed in amazement.

He turned to Mu Leizheng, the only listener beside him, and said, "Idiot, an idiot who's so arrogant he doesn't know his own worth."

"Don't worry, the Big Dipper won't break. I'll get it back for you once he dies."

He was certain that Zhou Daqian was going to die, and had already planned to divide up the vast assets left behind by Zhou You after his death.

The Xiang family, who are inclined towards the royal family, have cultivated their influence in Qingchu Prefecture for many years. Once Zhou You dies, they will definitely try to 'restore' their power.

Even if he acts quickly, he can only seize half the country at most, but that will be enough.

Furthermore... the vast assets of the Zhou family's western branch, and so on, will all become his possession.

“I have said it before, there can only be one Daqian in the world. No matter how powerful you, Zhou Daqian, are, you are ultimately just doing the work for me. All the benefits will go to me, the real Daqian.”

Dongfang Daqian laughed heartily and explained to Mu Leizheng, "Even if Zhou Daqian is lucky enough to survive today, he will die at my hands in the future."

Mu Leizheng looked at him quietly, then shifted his gaze to the screen.

Zhou You's leaping out of the formation truly shocked everyone present.

This assassin is incredibly skilled, more than the previous two combined, and by more than a hundred times.

Chang Pavilion Master's Hidden Star Impermanence Power was easily knocked away by him, and even accidentally injured his own assassin, Leng Wuhui.

Chaluozha was one of the Five Heavenly Kings of Buddhism, quite powerful, right? Yet he was killed in a single encounter.

His elusive and deadly short weapon, capable of instantly killing someone upon entering their body, was truly the most terrifying weapon anyone had ever seen.

Zhou You's only advantage is in numbers; his only hope is to overwhelm and exhaust Zhou You's strength.

Zhu Ruoxuan, Da Xingchang, and the others were secretly pondering how many lives they would have to sacrifice to send Zhou You back to the Zhou family's old residence.

Today, they have given up hope and only wish that Zhou You is alive, for as long as he is alive, there is still a chance.

But who could have imagined that Zhou You would be so brave as to break through the heavily guarded protective circle and face the assassin head-on?

As he said, this was a reckless act, not something a governor should do.

Zhu Ruoxuan was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat. You are the heir of the Zhou family and the governor of Qingchu Prefecture. You are a noble and respected lord. You should let your enemies see your 'rage of a lord' instead of fighting with the rage of a commoner.

Their methods not only failed to stop Zhou You, but also failed to weaken the assassins' terrifying assassination skills.

The assassin smirked as Zhou You offered the weapon to him, and then handed it forward with his short weapon.

This gesture, like handing you chopsticks at a dinner table or offering you a cigarette from an old friend, is casual and unintentional, but in this particular situation, it can be a deadly blow.

Zhou You swayed slightly, reached out and gripped the short weapon. The sharp blade cut his palm, and blood flowed and dripped wildly.

This time, the weapon didn't disappear; instead, the assassin kicked out forcefully, and a section of the weapon emerged from Zhou You's hand, piercing his heart.

Without missing a beat, it was precisely at the spot where the first assassin had stabbed her, a wound the size of a needle tip, which was still bleeding to this day.

This time, no miracle will happen.

In an instant, the assassin's arm, hand, and weapon became one, blood and energy circulated, and the skill could be clearly felt. The cold tip of the weapon had already touched the most vital point of Zhou You's heart meridian.

This barrier is only one ten-thousandth the thickness of a sheet of paper, and the time to pierce it is less than one ten-thousandth the breath.

In other words, this assassin has firmly grasped Zhou You's life and death, and could destroy all his chances of survival with a single thought.

This meticulously planned scheme, which had cost several assassins their lives, was finally nearing its end. The assassins, without hesitation, thrust their weapons forward, ready to cleanly and swiftly claim Zhou You's life.

In his view, a mere governor of a state was insignificant in the history of the assassins, unless he was a figure comparable to the ancient tyrants, in which case he would be worthy of being remembered by posterity and compared to the deeds of the founder.

In retrospect, it was just killing one person.

"A true king cannot be killed!"

Zhou You suddenly spoke, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light that would terrify any assassin.

The next moment, his palm pierced the assassin's heart with lightning speed, crushing it instantly.

"Your close-range weapons are unpredictable and cannot be contained by space, but there is only one drawback: you cannot retreat when you are killing someone."

"So, I'll use this life to stick to your weapon and pull you to within arm's reach."

"At this distance, if you kill me, I can kill you too."

"I'll gamble with you again, this time it's about who can kill the target first, and it looks like I've won!"

The light in the assassin's pupils quickly dimmed, and the short weapon in his hand remained in place, no longer able to take Zhou You's life, vanishing with his death.

Zhou You let out a sigh of relief. He had won after all, risking his life to wear down the assassin.

The assassin's previously eerie power, under the watchful gaze of his Nine Cauldrons True Eye, revealed a truth.

The assassin "Judge" is not someone outside the circle; he is a successor trained by the Martial Saint.

This lineage actually trains assassins as deadly weapons, generating an invincible assassination power.

Therefore, that short weapon is actually an extension of the assassin's true form, and cannot be dodged or avoided.

The only chance of survival is if, when the short weapon pierces a vital point, the assassin is unable to withdraw from it, thus directly destroying his body. The short weapon then becomes like water without a source, instantly vanishing into thin air.

This move is extremely dangerous; if one is not careful, the assassin will kill them and all their plans will come to naught.

Zhou You is a man who, once he makes up his mind to do something, will definitely succeed immediately.

"The modern-day assassin 'Judge' is dead?"

The Great Star Chief was somewhat stunned. The danger just now was still vivid in his mind, but in the blink of an eye, the assassin's body lay on the ground, blood mixed with dust, and the stench of blood filled the air.

Changge Master gestured for Peacock and the other assassins to remain vigilant, then walked over to him and said, "Senior Brother."

"Junior sister, I understand, I really understand."

"Tyrants are assassinated because they are all bark and no bite, cruelly oppressing the people to cover up their weak and cowardly hearts, while true heroes do not die by assassination."

"Just like Zhou Daqian, a peerless hero, he faced an assassin head-on and was even able to kill his opponent."

The Pavilion Master Chang nodded silently upon hearing this; nothing could be more in line with reality than this explanation.

Although many people were worried that the one who died might not be the real assassin 'Cai', Zhou You ordered them to continue on their way.

In the following process, no more assassins appeared, confirming that the third assassin was indeed the contemporary assassin 'Judge'.

When the carriage stopped in front of the Prime Minister's residence, there was a commotion. The governors inside came out at the sound and saw Zhou You, unharmed, stepping down from the carriage and coming to the crowd.

The scene in front of the Prime Minister's residence is extremely impressive.
