Chapter 604 - 602: Assassinating the Nascent Soul Ancestor

Chapter 604: Chapter 602: Assassinating the Nascent Soul Ancestor

On the border of the Luochen Domain stood a mountain peak, which was a major stronghold for the Holy Mountain.

With a Low Tier Nascent Soul Ancestor overseeing it, no one dared to cause trouble.

One day, within a dense forest on the mountain, two figures suddenly burst out from the ground, while another appeared silently from the void.

The ones who emerged from the earth were Han Qing and Little Haas.

The one who flashed out of the air was Little Gray.

"Damn it! Making Master Han here crawl through the dirt... And you, Little Gray, you get to just swoop in from the sky. So high and mighty, aren’t you?"

Han Qing spat out a blade of grass, speaking with great annoyance.

Little Gray glanced sideways at Han Qing, then scraped his little bone toe across the ground: "Third Brother, calm down. Even though you were underground, not showing off is better than showing off. Keeping a low profile is the true path to victory!"

Little Haas looked at Little Gray as if he were a god and said, "Second Boss is truly profound! Every word is a mystery, too wonderful for words. Little Haas is so impressed!"

Hearing Little Haas’s flattery, Little Gray clasped his little bone hands behind his back, tilted his small skull toward the sky, and struck a proud pose.

His deep cyan Soul Fire flickered and leaped, showing just how much he was enjoying the praise.

"Hmph. Little Haas, what can you do besides kiss ass?"

Master Han asked, his voice filled with contempt for Little Haas’s behavior.

Facing Little Haas, the frustration Han Qing felt from his interaction with Little Gray instantly vanished, replaced by a sense of satisfaction and superiority.

Han Qing felt that when it came to showing off, cultivation, or scheming against others, he couldn’t compare to Little Gray or Jiang Jichen.

But at the very least, he felt he could utterly crush Little Haas.

But Little Haas immediately put on a serious expression. "Master Han, though Little Haas deeply admires your character, Little Haas will get angry if you slander him like this! Hmph! Little Haas is loyal to the core to the First Boss, the Second Boss, and of course, you, the Third Boss. Every word I say comes from the bottom of my heart."

"Master Han, you are a man of noble character, a dragon among men, a beacon of outstanding talent! You are one of Little Haas’s idols! Please don’t make things difficult for me!"

Little Haas’s words instantly made Han Qing feel comfortable from head to toe, an indescribably wonderful sensation.

He clapped Little Haas on the shoulder and said, "Well said, Little Haas! From now on, Master Han has your back. No one will dare to make things difficult for you!"

However, in his heart, Little Haas felt a million times more contempt for Han Qing.

’Just a moment ago, he was looking down on me for being a flatterer, and now look at him, enjoying it to no end!’

Little Haas thought smugly.

He felt he had found Han Qing’s weakness and could easily conquer him with his divine art of flattery.

Just then, Little Gray’s toe scraped the ground again, writing: "Proceed as planned!"

Han Qing and Little Haas nodded, their expressions now completely serious, all traces of their earlier frivolity gone.

Han Qing and Little Haas activated the Earth Escape Technique once more and vanished on the spot.

Little Gray’s figure flickered, his small skeleton frame disappearing into the void.

Today, their mission was to assassinate that Low Tier Nascent Soul Ancestor.

It wasn’t just Little Gray’s group. From another direction, Bing Xuanchen was sneaking in silently.

He was the King of Assassins from the Six Paths Illusion Realm, a master of the Assassination Skill.

And he wasn’t alone. Ye Rou and the Two Beauties of Yunshui were also approaching stealthily from another direction.

In total, four teams were converging for the kill from four different directions.

At this time, in the main hall of the Holy Mountain stronghold, the guards were lax.

In their eyes, with a Nascent Soul Ancestor watching over the place, who would dare attack?

"PFFT!"

"PFFT!"

"PFFT!"

And yet, at that very moment, the heads of the guards in the main hall suddenly vanished.

They had been decapitated from behind.

It happened so fast they had no time to react.

By the time they realized what was happening, they were already corpses.

"Who?!"

A voice suddenly boomed from within the main hall.

It was incredibly majestic and overwhelmingly powerful.

But in the next instant, the entire hall was demolished with a deafening BOOM.

The four teams that had been lying in wait struck simultaneously.

Every one of them unleashed their Strongest attack.

"People from the Luochen Domain, you’re courting death!"

The Low Tier Nascent Soul Ancestor from the Holy Mountain roared.

A Frenzy of power surged from him, coalescing into a Magic Technique that obliterated the attacks from all four directions.

The four-pronged attack couldn’t even scratch him.

"Haha... A bunch of weak ants, and you want to assassinate this Ancestor? You’re asking to die!"

The Low Tier Nascent Soul Ancestor from the Holy Mountain had easily swept aside the attackers, almost without breaking a sweat.

At this moment, he felt that the Luochen Sect’s assassination attempt was pathetically weak, nothing like the difficult and terrifying foes he’d heard about in the rumors.

However, just as his laughter began, he suddenly felt an immense sense of crisis.

"Not good!"

’This is bad!’ he cried out in his mind, but it was too late. He couldn’t react in time.

Four figures appeared abruptly, striking at the Nascent Soul Ancestor from four of his blind spots.

But he was a Nascent Soul Ancestor, after all. The Defense Dao that erupted from his body was astonishingly powerful.

It managed to block another wave of attacks from the four assailants.

But his defenses shattered in the process.

Before he could even catch his breath, four more attacks, each a Dao of Ultimate Killing, flew at him from four directions.

Three waves of assassination, one after another, without the slightest pause in between. The coordination was flawless.

The first wave was merely to make the Nascent Soul Ancestor underestimate them. The second wave was to break his defenses.

Only the third wave was the true Dao of Ultimate Killing.

Little Gray, Bing Xuanchen, Ye Rou, and Tang Han!

Each of the four, from their own direction, launched the final strike!

Separately, these four strikes were individual killing arts; together, they formed a four-person combined attack technique.

The four moved as one. Their combined might was boundless, truly possessing the power to land the Ultimate Kill on a Low Tier Nascent Soul Ancestor.

What’s more, the Nascent Soul Ancestor’s defenses were already broken!

This strike was the Ultimate Kill!

CRACK!

The Nascent Soul Ancestor’s body shattered into pieces. His Spirit Infant shot out, trying to escape.

Little Gray’s body flickered, and he was already beside the Nascent Soul Ancestor’s Spirit Infant. He extended a Bone Finger and gave it a light poke.

The Spirit Infant was instantly skewered on his Bone Finger.

Then, Little Gray tossed it directly into his own deep cyan Soul Fire.

The Spirit Infant was burned to ash, its Soul Power consumed by Little Gray.

"Retreat!"

Ye Rou shouted softly, spear in hand, and retreated swiftly.

The others didn’t hesitate or linger for even a second.

They didn’t even spare a glance for the Storage Bags on the ground.

The moment they left, a brilliant Holy Light flashed atop the mountain peak, and several Cultivators with auras even more powerful than the slain Low Tier Nascent Soul Ancestor appeared.

However, Ye Rou had already led the Luochen Sect members away, vanishing into the Luochen Domain.

"Assassinating a Nascent Soul Ancestor... these bandits from the Luochen Domain are getting more and more outrageous!"

"No matter. They won’t be rampant for much longer. In ten days, the Secret Artifact will be ready. It can temporarily nullify the rules of the Six Paths Illusion Realm in the Luochen Domain. When that time comes, we will slaughter every living being within the Luochen Domain!"

The newcomers spoke with cold voices.

Despite their words, their faces turned ugly as they looked at the mutilated corpses on the ground and the shattered remains of the Nascent Soul Ancestor.

If they couldn’t breach the Luochen Domain, there was truly nothing they could do to this group.

Meanwhile, Ye Rou led the assassination squad back to the Luochen Sect.
