Chapter 97 Assassination
The sun sets in the west, and everything becomes dim.

The street vendors have been replaced by one batch after another, and now those who have set up stalls are all in the style of night markets at a glance.

The streets are crowded with people.

Although there are fewer people than during the day, there are still a large number of vendors hawking their wares, and some people are chatting while buying and selling.

On one side of the road, the lights are bright.

Three men dressed as hunters strolled along.

The cloth bags behind him were all empty, as if he had sold all his earnings in exchange for a living.

The three men walked side by side, with a hunting bow slung across their shoulders.

It seems to be nothing out of the ordinary.

But as he walked, he had an air of dignity, not at all like a hunter.

Making others avoid it subconsciously.

"The situation in Wutan City is about to change. The Xiao family has been increasingly aggressive in recent days, swallowing up many of the businesses of the other two major families."

"After that, I'm afraid we will become the first family in Wutan City?"

Some people were chatting on the street.

For ordinary people or vendors, who is the ruler of the city is actually not that important, so they all watch it with a joking attitude.

"Isn't it? The losses of the Gale and Oba families are not small. They must have lost at least 30% of their assets, right?"

A middle-aged man sighed:

"I don't know how the Xiao family's strength has grown so fast. These two families don't even have the ability to resist. It is said that an alchemist died not long ago."

"Tsk, these two are finished."

Three men dressed as hunters walked by.

Hearing the gossip on the street, the three men's faces became more and more ugly. They wanted to lose their temper, but were stopped by the tall man in the middle.

"Don't forget, we are hunters now."

Galbi closed his eyes and sighed, then spoke in a deep voice.

"Yes, master."

Beside Galiebi, the two men paused, retracted the fighting spirit that they were about to release, and said with unwilling looks.

Once upon a time, the influence of the Gale family was still there.

In the entire Wutan City, even the Xiao Family and the Oba Family, who were of the same level, did not dare to make up stories about them at will. Now even passers-by dared to laugh at them!
The saddest thing is that they can only swallow their anger.

"Don't forget about business."

Jialebi suppressed his inner anger, opened his eyes and said: "Whether the Jiale family can prosper again in the future depends on this move!"

Not long ago, the Xiao family suddenly changed its attitude.

Launch an offensive against the Gale family and the Oba family, constantly seizing territory and the market.

Moreover, the strength of each guard and family member was many times stronger than before. In just a few days, they were defeated.

Therefore, we have to find other ways.

"I have already investigated clearly that the reason why the Xiao family has suddenly become so powerful is related to a person they received not long ago."

"Perhaps we can contact this person, or assassinate him."

Jialebi spoke in a calm tone, with a sinister look on his face:

"It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. If we continue to drag it out, we will not be able to stop the Xiao family from eroding us. But if we fight to the death, we may succeed."

“When we lose the help of this mysterious man, we will unite with the Oba family and contact the Miter Auction House to see if we can get some assistance.

Then we will fight against the Xiao family together and destroy them!"

Galbi said with a grim expression.

Having held power in Wutan City for so many years, although he was caught off guard, Galeb was a seasoned veteran after all, and he listed a series of plans to be implemented.

He must know that the mysterious man who was able to increase the strength of the Xiao family so much must be very powerful and may be involved with many forces.

But, if you don't resist.

Do I have to wait to be eliminated by the Xiao family?

The only option is to fight to the death.

"Yes, master!"

The two looked at each other and spoke softly.

The three of them were strolling leisurely in the street, but this was only on the surface. In fact, they had secretly detected the whereabouts of the mysterious man and wanted to ambush him.

Only then did he send two masters from the family over.

And Galeb himself is a master at the Grand Fighter level. In their opinion, the chances of success for the three of them to assassinate the mysterious man together should be quite high.

"Hmm? That's the mysterious person invited by the Xiao family?"

Galbi's expression suddenly froze.

Not far away, a young man in black walked out of a shop selling metal materials and ores.

"Yes, that's him!"

Galbi's face turned grim for a moment.

According to intelligence and investigation, the young man in black is the mysterious man of the Xiao family, one of the culprits who caused them to end up like this.

"Master, shall we start now?"

The two people beside him lowered their voices and asked.

"No, wait a minute."

Jialebi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Now our power is not as strong as before, so we should not fight openly in the city. Let's follow him for a while and see if there is a more remote place."

"Then, we will..."

Galbi showed his murderous intent and made a gesture of wiping his neck with his hand.

"He's leaving, follow him!"

Seeing the young man in black turn around and leave, Galbi said quickly:

"Try to keep a certain distance and maintain your disguise. Don't let him notice anything unusual!"

The night gradually deepened.

Above the inky black sky, countless stars are twinkling, and the stars and the bright moon are shining, illuminating the deep night.

Huhu~
A gentle breeze blows.

The flowers, grass and bushes are swaying, and the leaves in the forest are rustling.

Galbi and the other two followed the young man in black out of the city, gradually moving away from the scope of Wutan City and heading into the surrounding woods.

“We’ve been discovered.”

Galbi paused and said with a gloomy look.

If there is nothing special going on, who would go out to the wilderness in the middle of the night to play around?
Maybe there is something to do.

But Galibi didn't want to rely on luck.

"So, shall we still do it?"

The two people beside Galbi said with serious expressions.

They were not stupid and knew that relying on the predictions of the patriarch, even a sneak attack or assassination would not have a 100% success rate, let alone a frontal attack.

And it might be a trap.

"That's too late."

Galbi stopped and looked at the young man in black who had turned around at some point and was standing with his hands behind his back.

"Why, you don't want to follow?"

Zhou Yan turned around with a playful look on his face.

He had nothing better to do so he came out for a stroll, to enjoy the natural scenery, and at the same time, as always, he observed the mental fluctuations within the range of observation of this newly created soul.

There is no end to learning and thinking.

Although Zhou Yan has cultivated to the innate realm and is close to being an immortal, this does not mean that he has a complete and thorough understanding of the universe and the hearts of people.

Therefore, in my spare time.

After noticing the clumsy tracking of these people behind him, he began to have other thoughts.

"How did you notice us?"

At this time, Galbi was no longer panicked, but asked in a deep voice.

The enemy is before us.

It's probably too late to escape.

"Are you serious?"

Zhou Yan shook his head slightly and sighed:

"With your camouflage ability, your aura, your attire, your behavior, and your traces, none of them are up to standard. If I still can't detect you, I might as well run into a wall and die."

The three hunters are all middle-aged.

The bloody smell on his body was like a pillar of wolf smoke, or at least it was like an evil spirit surrounding him. How could there be such a strong smell of business?

"That's it"

Galbi lowered his eyes slightly and touched the hunting bow behind him as if unintentionally. The moment his hand fell, two figures beside him stepped out.

Zhengzhengzheng!
The two guards rushed out instantly, drawing their swords.

The fighting spirit in his body surged out and turned into a thin garment like gauze or mist, wrapping around his body. At the same time, two steps turned into one, activating his fighting skills.

Two dark white sword energies slashed towards Zhou Yan!
However, Galbi came later but arrived first. He used his fighting spirit as armor and stomped his foot on the ground. With tremendous force, he swung up a large amount of rubble, which was then crushed into powder by the sword light that followed.

The sword light was sharp and sharp, and it was within a dozen feet around.

All the trees, flowers, grass, rocks and hard soil that were covered were chopped into particles finer than sand!
In an instant, he passed through the sword energy from the guards and arrived at the front.

Straight to Zhou Yan’s face!

"Sure enough, fighting skills are just the use of fighting spirit and energy. If you deepen it, it will only add some application of the rules of heaven and earth."

"The utilization rate of the practitioners' own power is really low."

The sword flashed in front of him, and the cold air stirred up a large amount of air.

Zhou Yan just made a few comments, feeling a little disappointed but not surprised.

This kind of attack seems huge and powerful.

In fact, it is superficial inside.

The connection between the moves and the mind, body, aura, divine will, and even the nature of heaven and earth is not high.

This method is his newly created body and soul, but at the peak state of internal strength, the power of the mortal body can be easily broken.

Raise your arms slightly with your five fingers extended.

When the sword light came towards him, Zhou Yan concentrated all his strength to the extreme in an instant, and his five fingers moved the air flow, moving as he pleased.

Then, a palm pressed down!

"No, hide quickly!"

The moment Zhou Yan made his move, Galeb's face changed drastically and an indescribable fear surged in his heart.

He roared out immediately.

His two guards are both experts close to the level of fighting masters. They are not easy to train and cannot die in vain.

But it was too late.

Before the sound was made, Zhou Yan's seemingly ordinary and slowly moving palm had already slapped down from top to bottom.

boom!
Thunder roared in the deep and quiet night!
In just a moment, the three surging sword lights were extinguished by the overwhelming airflow. The extremely condensed airflow was several points more powerful than the fighting spirit.

The guard who was hit first had no time to react.

Along with the long sword in his hand and the protective fighting spirit gauze dress on his body, they were all swept up by the violent and turbulent airflow.

In an instant, it was ground into pieces!
Whoosh!

The airflow has not yet dissipated.

The airflow from Zhou Yan's palm strike was so condensed that when he struck out, the air within dozens of feet around him was sucked out.

The vacuum in the sky swallows up the air flow outside.

The sound of cranes' cries filled the night sky.

boom!
Galeb swung his sword, and before the sword fell, he saw the guard being crushed to death, followed by a roar of invisible air.

The fighting spirit armor only lasted three breaths before being crushed.

Assassination, sneak attack, drawing the sword and using the fighting spirit.

And Zhou Yan counterattacks.

The whole process happened in a flash. In the blink of an eye, the whole place was devastated, large tracts of trees fell down, the roots of weeds were broken, and the soil was flying.

"Why don't you kill me?"

Galiebi spat out a mouthful of blood, knelt down on one knee, and looked at Zhou Yan in surprise.

He didn't understand.

Since this young man in black robe is a guest of the Xiao family and an invited master, why not just kill him now to prevent future troubles?
With the power of his attack just now, there is no way I could survive.

Why...

"You, don't you think I have anything to do with the Xiao family?"

Zhou Yan looked at Jialebi's expression, laughed, and then said: "I don't care about your fight. After all, I only taught them the method of cultivation."

“But the new law is not unique to one school of thought.”

"do you understand?"

The new law spread throughout the world.

If you want to spread it, then spread it all over the world.

No matter whether it is the protagonist Xiao Yan, the Xiao family, or any other force, no one is bold enough to enjoy his method alone.

The reason why it was passed on to Xiao Yan first.

It's just because I want to make some changes to the origin of the world, so I want to make up for some things in this world.

If the Xiao family can learn, then the Bilie family can naturally learn as well.

Within the city of Wutan, all life on the Douqi Continent, even the Soul Clan, and even flowers, plants, and animals can learn.

Zhou Yan didn't care about this.

Good and evil, right and wrong are all judged by others. What does it have to do with a passerby like me?
After sending out a message that sank into Galbi's mind, Zhou Yan left without looking back.
