Chapter 257: Assassination on the Plank Road
At night, Daoshan is brightly lit from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain, and the noise at the foot of the mountain can be heard even on the mountainside.
Standing on the mountainside, looking at the hazy night in the distance, feeling the breeze.
It seems to be in the human world and yet not in the human world.
On the plank road on the mountainside, two figures, a man and a woman, were walking slowly forward.
"Brother Su Ren, if one day your strength reaches the peak and you can travel the world freely, what do you want to do?"
Mu Hongxia lightly tucked her hair and asked with her head tilted.
Su Ren had never thought about this question before. After hearing her question, he thought for a while, raised his head and looked at the night sky and said:
"Maybe explore the mysteries of this infinite universe."
"Human beings are so insignificant that ordinary people cannot even leave that city or state in their entire lives."
"If I have the chance, I will go out and see the magnificence and grandeur of the universe, and see what kind of scenery there is outside the universe."
Mu Hongxia also looked up at the starry sky when she heard that, but she didn't think too much about it.
There is a forbidden area outside the sky, surrounded by countless extraterritorial demons.
Human beings are lucky enough to be able to defend the Blue Planet, let alone go to the so-called universe and starry sky.
Mu Hongxia thought of the Sword God who left Blue Star. Perhaps he and Su Ren had the same idea.
"Brother Su Ren, with your strength, you should be able to realize your idea soon."
Suren shook his head.
Only he himself knows his current situation. Although his attack power is unparalleled, it is useless if he wants to travel in the universe.
The most important thing is a very strong way to save your life.
I just don't know what skills the 3rd transfer will give.
After this trial competition is over, Su Ren will go to Sakura Country as soon as possible to collect the scales of the Yamata no Orochi to complete the third transformation.
…
A wide area at the exit of the plank road.
People from the three major families had already broken through a corner of the formation and were lurking here.
Looking at the two figures walking slowly on the plank road, someone whispered something.
“Here they come!”
"Mu Hongxia is here too, are we going to kill her together?"
"kill!"
When Su Ren and the other man were about to walk out of the plank road, four figures rushed towards them at an extremely fast speed.
The four evil spirits moved like ghosts and chose to attack directly in this small corner.
Even if Su Ren and the other man wanted to escape, they could only retreat because there was a steep rock wall above them and a cliff below them.
However, they were so fast that it was almost impossible to retreat and escape.
This is a sure kill for most people!
But they miscalculated one thing, Su Ren was not an ordinary person.
The moment he saw the unusual movement, Su Ren drew out the magic sword Thousand Blades at the fastest speed and slashed it out with one blow.
The unparalleled blade light flashed in the night sky, and the daggers in the hands of the evil spirits were even about to pierce Su Ren's heart, eyebrows and neck.
But it's just a little bit short.
They also didn't understand why the four of them couldn't even block a single blow.
I thought I could kill the boy by taking the blow head-on.
But everything was beyond their expectations.
The end result was that the bodies of the four people rolled down the cliff one after another, and they died there completely.
“Wh…what’s going on!?”
Nangong Ao stood up, a look of disbelief on his face.
He knew best the strength of the evil spirits and monsters, and the four of them ate and lived together almost as one.
Especially good at this kind of ambush and sneak attack.
The assassination missions assigned to them in the past have never failed.
But why are they the ones dying now, while Su Ren is standing there just fine?
Four masters who were close to level 8 just died like that?
This instantly overturned their cognition and completely destroyed the defenses in their hearts.
"Don't worry about it, Gu Daoyi, why don't you take action?"
Cao Yan shouted anxiously.
In fact, before he could say anything, Gu Daoyi had already taken action.
I saw a shadow appear behind him, holding a sword and slashing out.
However, his target was not Su Ren, but the suspended plank road.
"boom!!"
A loud bang was heard.
The plank road was originally built with wood, and was shattered into pieces after being cut by the sword.
Along with the plank road, pieces of rocks also collapsed.
Su Ren had just killed the four black shadows when he didn't know there was someone behind him and he was caught off guard.
He and Mu Hongxia both fell off the cliff.
"Gu Daoyi, what are you doing? Why don't you attack Suren?"
Nangong Ao and Cao Yan looked at him, wanting an explanation.
Gu Daoyi's chest was pounding wildly at this moment, and the uneasiness was almost about to burst out of his chest.
Considering that Su Ren had just killed all the evil spirits with one sword, he was sure that Su Ren was the person who made him feel extremely uneasy.
Seeing the two people questioning him, Gu Daoyi said angrily, which was rare:
"Idiot, he can kill evil spirits in seconds, do you think we are his match?"
"Hurry up and leave! If he doesn't die from the fall, none of us will be able to escape!"
The two were awakened by his words and reacted immediately.
No matter what means Su Ren used, he did kill the evil spirits.
However, when they turned around and prepared to escape, a voice as cold as winter sounded behind them.
"Want to leave now? It's too late!"
…
Everyone gathered in the hall halfway up the mountain.
The sound of the ancient road breaking the rocks on the plank road came over.
Wang Changjun, who was chatting and drinking with others, suddenly frowned and looked in the direction of the explosion.
He was very sensitive to sounds, so he heard the noise immediately.
Seeing Wang Changjun was about to step out to check, Nangong Wentian walked over with a wine glass.
"Minister Wang, you and I haven't even had a drink yet, where do you want to go?"
"Master Nangong, didn't you hear the explosion just now?"
Nangong Wentian looked puzzled, then smiled and said :
"Minister Wang, your excuse is not very good. There was no explosion. I think you are drunk and hallucinating."
At this time Gu Jianfeng also came over.
"Minister Wang, I was excited during the day, so my words were offensive. You won't blame me, right?"
Gu Jianfeng was saying words of apology, but there was no regret in his eyes.
If Wang Changjun hadn't been held back by those guys, he would never have come over and said such words.
When Wang Changjun saw the two people coming together, he was already confused.
Look at the half-smiles on their faces, and then combine it with the direction of the sound I just heard.
That was the location of the residence he prepared for Su Ren.
Combining the two, Wang Changjun immediately understood.
These noble families are so bold, it looks like they are going to attack and kill Su Ren.
You have to know that this is Daoshan, a place that attracts national attention in Longguo.
Billions of eyes are watching here every year, and it can be said that anything that happens here will be known to the whole country.
Wang Changjun never expected that these major families would be so bold as to take action in Daoshan.
This is no longer bold, this is crazy.
It is no wonder that the king tried every means to get rid of these aristocratic families. Today, they dared to attack and kill the student who ranked first in this year's secret realm assessment.
Maybe tomorrow they will dare to assassinate the king.
However, Wang Changjun was not panicked at all at this time, and even wanted to laugh.
If their target was Mu Hongxia, he would be a little nervous.
If the target is Su Ren, I'm afraid few people from the three major families will survive.
Now he only wants Su Ren to leave a few people alive, as long as the evidence is solid.
The crime of attacking and killing candidates is enough to make several major families suffer.
