Chapter 379 Assassination
Chu Zhiyuan had already put the broken sword back into the sheath, but his expression was still a little ugly.

Zou Fang said softly: "My Lord..."

"It's okay." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

He walked to the window, looked at the exit of the restaurant below, and watched Li Hongzhao, dressed in red, being surrounded by people and merging into the noisy crowd.

Li Hongzhao suddenly stopped, as if he realized something, and turned his head to look over.

His eyes met Chu Zhiyuan's.

She curled her red lips, rolled her eyes at him, turned around and continued walking forward, soon disappearing from Chu Zhiyuan's sight.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

No matter how much loss she suffered, she would never give in and always wanted to win back the next time.

The more setbacks you encounter, the braver you become.

This is a bit troublesome.

Chu Zhiyuan touched his chin, thinking about what trick he could use to defeat her directly.

Take down Linglong Library?
She was already alert, but might not be able to hit her vital point and defeat her again?
It was unlikely to work, and she had already accepted failure.

She has become accustomed to being hit by the realm again and again.

He was still thinking when there was a muffled "bang".

Chu Zhiyuan looked at it intently.

But a group of people were screaming, as if some monster had run out and was wreaking havoc on the crowd.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and released his super sense, covering an area of ​​one thousand meters in radius.

As his cultivation of the Glazed Sword Sutra progressed, his super-sensory range also expanded, and before he knew it, it had reached one thousand meters.

He saw Li Hongzhao swinging his sword and the guards around him were besieging two people.

Li Hongzhao was fighting fiercely with an old man. At the same time, Su Qiuyan and a middle-aged man were attacking slowly and leisurely.

Above the middle-aged man’s head is a huge toad, which is looking up at the sky, as if swallowing the moonlight.

Su Qiuyan and he fought to a stalemate.

Li Hongzhao's sword was emitting purple flames, and his power was running at its peak. A fire phoenix vaguely appeared in the sword shadow, a flying phoenix.

Her opponent, the old man, had a small snake on his head, a golden little snake.

Chu Zhiyuan seemed to be thinking about something.

Li Hongzhao's cultivation is not as good as the old man's, but he can still fight on equal terms with the old man because of the powerful Phoenix Sword Technique.

Her Phoenix Sword Technique is indeed very advanced and powerful.

But as time went on, it still didn't work. Her Phoenix Sword Technique was not enough to make up for the difference in cultivation.

This is the fundamental difference between her and myself.

I am close to Tao in skills, and martial arts can make up for the difference in cultivation, but she can't.

No matter how advanced one's Phoenix Sword Art is, it cannot be pushed forward one step and go beyond the scope of the Phoenix Sword Art.

After all, it was limited to the Phoenix Sword Technique itself, and its power was not enough to bridge the realm gap.

Not far away, the masters of Zhenwu Division had already pounced over. After a few breaths, the four masters were about to rush to her and rescue her.

Assassinating Li Hongzhao on the street was truly a genius idea.

I really don't know what to say.

If your cultivation is strong enough, that's fine. No matter how crude or what means you use, as long as you succeed, that's fine.

But his cultivation was not strong enough to create a crushing momentum.

If one's cultivation level is not enough to crush the opponent, and one does not choose an ideal location, and the assassination is hastily carried out, success will depend entirely on luck.

I really don’t know what he was thinking.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head repeatedly, and at the same time, two shadows flew out from his sleeves.

Two phantoms instantly crossed a distance of hundreds of meters, ignoring the old man's sword light, and instantly pierced through his shoulders.

They stopped above the old man's head, but they were actually two flying knives floating in the air, looking down at the old man.

Li Hongzhao took the opportunity to use his killing move.

With a clear cry, the figure of the Fire Phoenix appeared again in the sword light.

The tip of the sword suddenly accelerated and pierced into the old man's chest.

Draw your sword and step back.

The old man covered his chest with his hands, his eyes wide open in disbelief, staring at Li Hongzhao, then lowered his head to look at his heart.

Li Hongzhao's beautiful face was covered with a layer of frost and she glared at him coldly.

He raised his head to glance at the two flying knives floating in the air, then looked at Su Qiuyan and the other guards.

Two of the Stepping Cloud Iron Cavalry have fallen, and the remaining twelve are besieging the two middle-aged men.

Chu Zhiyuan's voice came from afar: "Do you need more help?"

"……Need not!"

Li Hongzhao gritted his teeth, ignored the old man who slowly fell to the ground, and rushed into the Cloud-stepping Iron Cavalry with his sword, attacking the two middle-aged men. At this time, the masters of the Zhenwu Division had already arrived.

"Go!" The middle-aged man who was fighting with Su Qiuyan shouted, and with a flash of his body, he pulled up two middle-aged men and shot them away.

"laugh!"

A flying knife suddenly appeared in front of his eyebrows.

He raised his head to avoid it, but the flying knife turned around, suddenly accelerated and hit him between the eyebrows.

"Ding..." He put his finger at his forehead, and there was an iron ring on his finger, which flew with sparks.

Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.

The great master flashed again and merged into the crowd with the two middle-aged men.

Although Chu Zhiyuan's flying knife was fast, it was too late to catch up.

He shook his head regretfully.

Li Hongzhao stamped his feet, anxious and angry.

Su Qiuyan's expression changed slightly.

If the grandmaster didn't have a ring on his finger, and the ring wasn't so hard, he would have been stabbed.

This move hit him between the eyebrows, and even if it didn't kill him, it was enough to injure him.

Thus giving yourself a chance to take action.

Chu Zhiyuan's flying knife was already outrageous in the legend, and the reality was even more outrageous than the legend.

Can you dodge this flying knife by yourself?
Hard!

It was fast enough and could turn, making it hard to defend against. More importantly, Chu Zhiyuan was not affected by the grandmaster's spiritual energy and could hit the grandmaster accurately.

This is the most terrifying thing.

The most core advantage of the Grand Master, the fundamental power that crushes other realms is ineffective against him.

With the arrival of the masters from the Zhenwu Division, this sudden assassination ended in a whimper.

The two fallen Cloud-Taking Iron Cavalrymen saved their lives thanks to Li Hongzhao's elixir.

They were naturally grateful to Li Hongzhao and their loyalty reached a new level.

After Li Hongzhao settled them, he turned around and went to Mingyue Tower, but found that Chu Zhiyuan was no longer there.

She then came to Chu Zhiyuan's new house next to Mingyue Tower.

After knocking on the door, Zou Fang walked forward, opened the door, and respectfully invited her in.

Li Hongzhao entered the courtyard and, under the guidance of Zou Fang, came to the second courtyard.

Chu Zhiyuan was lying on a recliner, basking in the sun leisurely.

Seeing her appear, Chu Zhiyuan pointed to a recliner next to him.

Li Hongzhao snorted, lay down in the chair, her graceful body undulating.

She suddenly felt at peace.

The previously boiling emotions suddenly sank to the bottom of the feet and were no longer impetuous.

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "Who are these assassins?"

"Tuntian Sect!" Li Hongzhao said angrily, "I didn't expect that they would follow us."

Chu Zhiyuan groaned: "Tuntian Sect..."

He was thinking about the information about the Tuntian Sect in his mind, which he had seen from the Supervisory Office and Tongtian Pavilion.

After a moment, he nodded in realization: "It should be from the same source as the Yuding Sect."

The Yuding Sect devours essence and blood to improve their cultivation, and the Tuntian Sect is similar.

They are also lawless and especially like to devour the essence and blood of royal disciples.

The same is true for the Yuding Sect and the Tuntian Sect.

If such a sect had not been so powerful, it would have been destroyed by the imperial court long ago.

The fact that it has survived until now shows how powerful the force behind it is, and even the Emperor's Sword is helpless against it.

"Why did you assassinate him now instead of earlier or later?"

"They just arrived."

"These people from the Heaven-Swallowing Sect knew that Mr. Su was not here, so they took advantage of the situation and sneaked in?"

"..."

"Haha..." Chu Zhiyuan laughed.

Li Hongzhao gave him a sidelong glance.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Da Meng, the best spy, also fell into the hands of a spy. Don't you think it's interesting?"

"Maybe it's a coincidence." Li Hongzhao said.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed again.
