Chapter 166: After modification: Chapter 165 Assassination (Request for subscription and monthly tickets) "If this is all you’ve got, then you’re bound to lose today." Young Master Jiangg Hee’s expression was stern, and his sword technique at that moment appeared even more fierce. The Jinghong Thirteen Sabers, each strike was more vicious and perilous than the last, like a violent wind tearing through the air, producing a startling sound. "The you today is truly disappointing to me." Young Master Jin Guyong’s expression remained unchanged. His long sword suddenly expanded, like a Spirit Snake spitting out its tongue, reaching an extreme speed. The clash of sword and saber sounded like thunder. Suddenly, Jin Guyong’s long sword slightly flickered, hitting precisely at the weak point of the Jinghong Thirteen Sabers. Clang! Jiangg Hee’s expression changed, the continuous saber light stopped instantly. Right after, he saw Jin Guyong at that moment had actually discarded his sword. Discarded the sword? "Not good!" Jiangg Hee’s heart raced, without thinking, his internal energy surged, transforming into sharp, fiery red lights, then he struck upward with a palm. Sunburst Palm! Just then, Jin Guyong quickly approached, his five fingers, lush as green onions, turned red in an instant and then pounded downward fiercely. Nine Seals Palm Fourth Technique, Under the Five Mountains! Bang! A thunderous shockwave caused their clothes to rustle, then with a tearing sound, they broke. The strong winds shredded clothing; it was imaginable how strong this strike was. "Such powerful Sunburst Palm, such strong Nine Seals Palm." Tang Zhanfei’s eyes gleamed, and even his breathing paused. Bai Ziyue’s gaze also showed more seriousness. He knew this Sunburst Palm as well; it was the top inner power heart method of the Sunburst Gang, a martial art paired with Sunburst Technique. Using Sunburst Technique’s inner strength boosted its power by more than thirty percent, making it explosively fierce and terrifyingly powerful. And the Nine Seals Sect’s renowned Nine Seals Palm was one of the top martial arts in Wujiang County. The nine palm techniques differed, each more potent than the last. Previously, when he faced the Inner Power Realm Martial Artist of the Nine Seals Sect, Hua Jiebin, the fourth technique, Under the Five Mountains, almost froze his spirit. Had he been struck, even with his peak martial arts realm at the time, he would have been severely injured, his life hanging by a thread. Now seeing this palm technique again, it was clear that Under the Five Mountains in Jin Guyong’s hands was even more exquisite and overpowering. "Let me see what other tricks you have." Jiangg Hee stepped back three or four paces, but he managed to block the palm, bellowing as he swiftly advanced, intending to use his sword technique again to defeat his opponent. In martial arts, unless there was a significant disparity in strength, having a weapon and not having one were two entirely different concepts. He still had his long saber, while Jin Guyong had discarded his long sword, naturally giving him a clear advantage. "Too happy, too soon." Jin Guyong shouted fiercely, stomping the ground with all his might. Bang! The hard stone ground cracked open, and then Jin Guyong’s figure shot forward like lightning. His hand turned entirely blood-red, causing one to wonder if in the next moment, blood would gush out. Jiangg Hee’s eyelids twitched wildly. *A sense of impending doom welled up inside him, compelling him to want to turn and flee.* *This palm strike, he couldn’t block.* With this realization in his heart, Jiangg Hee’s expression changed dramatically, yet he forcefully suppressed the thought of retreating. Because he knew that meeting this head-on might still offer a chance. But if he retreated, even if he survived, he would inevitably suffer grievous injuries. His internal strength turned into surging waves, a violent shock of heat and tide, causing his flesh to tremble, feeling as if it might be scorched and shattered before turning into a boundless charging force, which fully surged into his palm. Sunburst Palm! Once again, the two palm prints collided. Bang! It was like a landslide. Jin Guyong’s palm, with majestic power, directly broke Jiangg Hee’s palm print, then without losing momentum, it fiercely imprinted on his chest. Bang! Jiangg Hee’s chest caved in sharply, his body was sent flying, spanning more than ten meters before crashing heavily outside the ring, onto the lakeside ground. Pfft! A mouthful of bright red blood spewed out, staining his chest. "Nine Seals Palm Fifth Technique, the Earth Dragon’s Turn!" Someone at the scene recognized the origin of this palm imprint, unable to hold back an exclamation of surprise. Even among the Nine Seals Sect’s third-class experts, few could fully master this technique. Who would have thought Jin Guyong could already execute it? However, some also noticed that Jin Guyong’s expression was a bit off, his face deathly pale, and his qi and blood depleted, indicating that even he wasn’t in great shape after executing this palm. Of course, although Jin Guyong wasn’t feeling well, he was definitely in a better condition than Jiangg Hee. His injuries weren’t as severe, likely taking a day or two to recover. But Young Master Jiangg Hee of the Sunburst Gang would need at least ten to five days of healing to recover. The winner was clear without further words. "Let’s go!" Jiangg Hee’s followers naturally gathered around him, promptly escorting him as they left. Shortly after, another group guarded Jin Guyong as they departed from the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion. In an instant, the previously lively scene felt a bit empty. "Let’s leave too. It seems there will be no more battles between martial artists above the Inner Power Realm today." Seeing that two or three young master-level martial artists were leaving, Tang Zhanfei spoke up. Speed nodded and was about to leave with the others, when suddenly someone rushed in at the exit and shouted, "Young Master Jiangg Hee, Young Master Jiangg Hee is dead..." The scene fell into instant silence. Immediately, countless voices of inquiry arose. "How could it be?" "Even if his injuries were severe, they shouldn’t have been fatal, right?" "This matter is really about to escalate." "Young Master Jiangg Hee was the disciple of the Sunburst Gang Leader. This time, they might truly go to war with the Nine Seals Sect." ... As various voices filled the air, the scene grew noisy. Surprise, schadenfreude, anticipation, tension, fear... the expressions on the martial artists’ faces varied greatly. "No, Young Master Jiangg Hee wasn’t killed by Young Master Jin Gudong, he was assassinated. Assassinated in the street, killed with a single strike." The man waved his hands repeatedly, hastily explaining. Upon hearing this, everyone felt slightly relieved, but there was no real sense of relief. No matter what, the death of Young Master Jiangg Hee would inevitably cause a huge upheaval and could potentially affect everyone present. The situation had truly blown up. Soon after, more people who knew the information returned, revealing more details. The killer was dressed in black, masked, skilled with a sword technique, and highly powerful... Taking advantage of Young Master Jiangg Hee’s severe injuries, he easily killed him and then calmly escaped the surrounded Sunburst Gang disciples. Among those surrounding him, three were also killed and four seriously injured, including some peak inner cultivation martial artists. ... Everyone’s hearts instantly froze. Third-class expert! Only a third-class expert or higher could accomplish such a feat. Who could it be? In the entire Wujiang County, there weren’t many experts above the third class. Apart from the Sunburst Gang and the Nine Seals Sect, only the Three Great Escort Agencies and the Four Great Martial Arts Schools had third-class experts. However, aside from the possibility of the Nine Seals Sect making a move due to their enmity with the Sunburst Gang, the other forces had no reason to act. Because if exposed, they would inevitably face the catastrophe of being wiped out. Other third-class martial artists not belonging to these major forces could be considered big figures in Wujiang County, and generally, it would be unlikely for them to suddenly strike against a junior of the Sunburst Gang. Who else could it be? Bai Ziyue was equally puzzled, and his gaze instinctively turned toward the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion’s loft, coincidentally observing Miss Yue’e, the courtesan, and the white-clothed swordsman Chen Qingyun, descending from above. ... Returning home, it was already late at night. Due to the death of Jiangg Hee, all Sunburst Gang disciples were summoned to conduct searches, and the government was also involved. Naturally, Bai Ziyue had to do some laborious tasks. Even though he knew that by the time they started searching, the assassin would have long disappeared without a trace. After dealing with the greetings of the two maids, Bai Ziyue went to the backyard and opened the door. Immediately, a strong warning surged in Bai Ziyue’s heart. His step, about to cross in, instantly retreated at an even faster speed. Swish! A sword’s light flashed instantly in front of him. Under the moonlight, it appeared cold and menacing. "Who are you?" With a clang, Bai Ziyue drew his long sword, his eyes cold as ice. This man was slightly thin, not tall, but dressed entirely in black, with his face covered by black cloth. In that moment, Bai Ziyue truly believed that it was the assassin who had killed Jiangg Hee in the street earlier, lying in wait in his room to take his life. But soon he relaxed. Although this person was dressed like the assassin, in black nightwear, their strength wasn’t particularly strong. Of course, they weren’t weak either. The just-broken, somewhat scattered aura was easily detectable by Bai Ziyue’s keen eyesight. Inner Power Realm! And it was someone who hadn’t been in the Inner Power Realm for very long. "You’re quite vigilant." The man chuckled lightly, but didn’t bother with more words. Fearing the growing danger, with resolve in his killing intent, he charged out again, and the sword’s light swiftly flared before Bai Ziyue’s eyes. This sword had only one characteristic, speed. It was fast to the extreme. Like a lightning bolt, it rapidly aimed for Bai Ziyue’s forehead. The forehead of an ordinary person is the dwelling place of the spirit. Even a light touch from a finger would cause it to throb rapidly in unease. *Faced with the sharp end of this longsword, Bai Ziyue’s forehead throbbed intensely, as if something inside wanted to escape, evading this disaster.* Clang! A resonant clash sounded as the long sword was parried away, blocking the attack.
