42 Chapter 42 Assasination Myth (1/2)

Zong Shou smiled coldly. Choosing such a shameless method of ambushing and assassination and dying in the end from lack of skill. If the teacher of Qi Xiao cared about his face, he definitely shouldn't find him.

Thinking carefully about it, in this era before the appearance of the God Emperor, the Cloud World was filled with five continents and sixteen islands, all of which saw bloody battles. As long as one wasn't happy with another, they would pull out their sword, stealing whatever they liked. The strong could decide everything. Apart from those huge sects who prided themselves on righteousness, who else would talk about rules with you?

Only when the God Emperor unified the land and set up laws were martial cultivators and spirit masters restricted.

However, the spirit master at the Back to Sun Realm in the Central Cloud Continent wouldn't be able to come over to Donglin Cloud Continent to seek revenge anytime soon.

On the other hand, the one who ordered this person to kill him was the one that was giving Zong Shou a headache. There were too many people who could have planned to assassinate him.

Thinking about it, his identity meant that he had too many enemies.

Laughing bitterly, Zong Shou breezed over the matter. Looking at Yin Yang, ”How are your injuries? How many people did you kill? Anyone alive?”

His injuries were heavier than that of Xue'er, with more than wounds, some of which were still dripping blood. However, Yin Yang was still filled with energy like nothing had happened.

As expected Yin Yang didn't mention his injuries, frowning slightly, ”A total of twelve, all killed!! They were all prepared to die, hiding poison on their bodies. Xue'er and I captured three of them, but none survived. There was also a Mythic Master that managed to escape.”

Zong Shou sighed, luckily he didn't have any hopes when he had asked the question. Looking carefully in the direction leading outside of the dense forest, he asked, ”Then how are our loses?”

Yin Yang's two thick brows were nearly connected to one another, his face filled with bitterness, His words were really simple, ”We suffered huge losses!”

Only when Zong Shou was carried by Chuxue back to the main path did he realiZe what Yin Yang meant.

Four of the sixteen Cloud Stepping Foals died, the others all suffered from heavy injuries. Luckily those horses that were at the front didn't suffer too much from the impact.

As for the carriage, its shape had totally changed after smashing a gigantic hole into the ground.

However, the carriage was really strong, as expected from fine steel. A hundred foot long, twelve-ton heavy carriage was flipped three hundred feet into the air and actually didn't collapse!

Only the steel plates of the carriage body were twisted. One could imagine how strong the carriage was.

Zong Shou wanted to cry, but no tears came out. In this era, each Cloud Stepping Foal was worth a hundred thousand silver, and each carriage cost more than a million silver!

”Blowing twelve tons of steel a hundred yards into the air! Exactly how many explosive fire talismans did those fellows use?” Zong Shou first looked to the side, at the giant hole in the middle of the road. It was five hundred feet wide. Luckily the spirit formation at the bottom of the carriage had cancelled out most of it. If not, just the impact alone would be enough for Yin Yang and him to die in the carriage.

The reason why they were able to survive wasn't because the enemies had shown mercy, but because once the explosive fire talismans exceeded a certain amount, or if they used other high-grade talismans, the energy ripples would be picked up by Chuxue and Yin Yang.

What was worse was that these people were probably probing to see what methods Zong Weiran had left, as well as how the people with him would react after this.

If a Xiantian cultivator or a Night Roaming spirit master personally attacked, the three of them would definitely have died in this battle.

He walked another round around the carriage before heaving a sigh of relief.

The entire spirit formation wasn't badly damaged, it just needed some repair and they would be able to continue travelling. As for heading to Xiaoyuan City, it wouldn't be a problem. They had fine steel and many blacksmiths who could fix the carriage.
