Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

Just as Chu Yunfan was about to pass the assassin's location, the assassin, who had been hiding in the shadows, finally couldn't resist making his move.

A jet-black arrow, silent and stealthy, was suddenly released from the assassin's hand and shot towards Chu Yunfan's forehead.

The arrow was fast, and the two were very close together.

Logically speaking, at this distance, Chu Yunfan would have no chance to dodge the sneak attack; the arrow would arrive in front of him as soon as it was fired.

At this moment, a victorious smile even appeared on the assassin's face.

However, the smile on his face vanished in an instant.

Because Chu Yunfan's figure suddenly disappeared from his sight.

"not good!"

Those two words instantly popped into the assassin's mind.

However, before he could even make a move, a long sword had already sliced ​​across his neck.

The next second, the head hit the ground, and blood spurted out.

The assassin lay there, eyes wide open, in a pool of blood.

Lifting the assassin's mask, Chu Yunfan was indeed greeted by a completely unfamiliar face.

"I've never seen this person before. It seems he's definitely an assassin!"

Chu Yunfan glanced at the face, then began searching the assassin's body.

It turned out that the assassin actually had a storage ring on him.

Upon seeing this, Chu Yunfan immediately took off his storage ring.

Since the assassin was dead, the mark of ownership left on the storage ring also disappeared automatically.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan easily probed his consciousness into the storage ring.

The next second, Chu Yunfan's astonished voice could be heard.

"The old saying is true: murderers and arsonists wear golden belts."

"A mere assassin at the late stage of Martial Master realm possesses such immense wealth!"

Let's not even talk about the fact that ordinary martial arts masters don't even have storage rings.

This assassin, a martial arts master, not only possessed a precious storage ring, but also had hundreds of low-grade spirit stones and several first- or second-grade spirit herbs inside.

In addition, Chu Yunfan also discovered a bottle of pills.

The pills are labeled with the words "Spirit Enhancement Pill," indicating that this bottle of pills is a second-tier pill used to enhance the cultivation level of a Martial Master.

Chu Yunfan took out a Spirit Enhancement Pill, examined it carefully, and found that it was only a mid-grade pill. He immediately lost interest and put the pill back into his storage ring.

As far as Chu Yunfan was concerned, he didn't care about any pills other than top-grade ones.

Subsequently, Chu Yunfan discovered many miscellaneous items in the storage ring.

Most of these miscellaneous items were various medicines, including sleeping pills that could cause unconsciousness, potent poisons that could kill martial arts masters, and even drugs that could induce estrus in animals.

Beside the pile of medicine, there was also a crossbow and a dozen or so hidden arrows.

It was obvious that these arrows were also coated with poison.

"As expected of an assassin, he is truly ruthless and unscrupulous."

Chu Yunfan sighed softly and continued searching, eventually finding several more human skin masks.

“So many tricks!”

Chu Yunfan picked up the human skin mask and gestured with it, then continued searching.

Finally, he discovered a token beneath the human skin mask.

The token bears a blood-red character for "kill," making it the assassin's identity token.

However, with the assassin's death, a crack appeared on the surface of the token, rendering it useless.

This made Chu Yunfan, who was planning to follow the clues, sigh helplessly.

"I knew it wouldn't be that simple, otherwise the Heavenly Slaughter Organization's lair would have been discovered and wiped out long ago!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yunfan put all the valuable items from the storage ring into the storage ring on his chest.

This storage ring is the very one that Nalan Xue gave to Chu Yunfan, and it's also the storage ring with the largest storage space that Chu Yunfan possesses.

Chu Yunfan placed all his important items in this storage ring.

As for the storage ring that Chu Yunfan obtained from the giant python's nest, he gave it to Lin Qianqian.

He kept all his belongings in the storage bag at his waist.

However, now that he has a storage ring, there is naturally no need for him to continue using the storage bag.

Given his current status as an inner disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect, even if someone discovers that he has a storage ring, they would basically not dare to try to steal it, so he can use it with peace of mind.

After disposing of the assassin's body, Chu Yunfan left the scene.

Soon after, Chu Yunfan appeared deeper into the Azure Demon Mountain Range, an area where second-tier demonic beasts roamed.

Before leaving the Qingyun Sword Sect, Chu Yunfan accepted several missions, so he naturally had to come here to complete them.

He also wanted to earn enough contribution points as soon as possible to exchange for the truly powerful sword technique manual of Tianji Peak.

According to Chu Yunfan's previous investigation, the sword technique he wanted to exchange for required 50,000 contribution points.

Even just acquiring the first move of this sword technique would require over ten thousand contribution points.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan must work hard to complete the task and earn contribution points.

Of course, the process of completing the mission was also a process of Chu Yunfan fighting against the monsters.

Chu Yunfan enjoyed the process. This was not because Chu Yunfan was a pervert or bloodthirsty person, but because he enjoyed the thrill of constantly honing his strength, discovering weaknesses, and rapidly improving in battle.

With a loud "boom," a black bear with white eyes, the size of a house, collapsed in front of Chu Yunfan.

This is the first peak second-tier demonic beast to die at Chu Yunfan's hands in the past few days.

Previously, Chu Yunfan had only challenged late-stage second-tier demonic beasts. It wasn't until he felt he was familiar with his early-stage peak Martial Master cultivation level that he challenged this peak-stage second-tier white-eyed black bear.

The thousands of dense, crisscrossing bloodstains on the white-eyed black bear's body proved how much effort Chu Yunfan had expended to finally kill it.

However, Chu Yunfan was in a joyful mood at this moment.

Because of the past few days, through his continuous practice, he has reached the perfection of the Earth-rank beginner sword technique, "Thousand Hundred Swords".

In other words, Chu Yunfan can now wield a sword repeatedly in the blink of an eye.

It's hard to imagine how fast that is.

"As expected, improvement during combat is the fastest!"

Chu Yunfan chuckled, then carefully collected the white-eyed black bear's corpse and headed to his next destination.

This time, Chu Yunfan plans to push himself even harder.

Because he plans to practice the second move of the "Whirlwind Sword Technique," Whirlwind Falling Leaves.

This move is not only fast, but also requires a sufficient number of targets to verify the power of the sword technique.

Chu Yunfan had already decided on his training partner: a pack of Windwood Wolves active nearby.

After reaching adulthood, the Windwood Wolves all possessed a second-tier cultivation level, making them quite powerful.

Moreover, just like its name suggests, the Windwood Wolf is characterized by its swift movement and attack speed.

The key point is that, as a type of wolf, the windwood wolf is naturally a social animal.

In this way, the Windwood Wolf Pack became Chu Yunfan's chosen one for cultivating the Wild Wind and Falling Leaves technique.
