Chapter 271 - 271 Purple-colored blade (1/2)

It only took a couple of minutes for the group of Spirit realm experts to arrive at the Silver cross street.

Looking at the wooden pill shop in the distance He Zhenkang made a hushing motion at the people behind him indicating for them to be quiet.

He wasn't afraid of his ambush failing, but he wanted to be certain that the person inside the shop had no hope of escaping.

Even though it was night and Shun Long had already closed the shop, the Silver cross street was far from being desolate.

For the next 2 hours, the rest of the shops continued working almost as if it was daytime.

Some of the shops even had more people visiting them during the night than they had in the day.

He Zhenkang and his group waited until fewer people were left on the street, before he ordered the rest of the experts in his group to surround the pill shop.

Aside from him, there were 2 middle rank 5 Spirit realm experts, a peak rank 4 and an early rank 4 Spirit realm cultivators, while the rest were at the rank 2 and rank 3.

Although He Zhenkang knew that the rank 2 Spirit realm cultivators would probably be useless against an early fourth stage body refiner, the reason that he brought them on this mission was to allow them to gain more experience.

As soon as the pedestrians had disappeared around the shop, He Zhenkang and the 2 middle rank 5 experts jumped in front of the pill shop's entrance.

One of the 2 middle rank 5 Spirit realm experts looked at He Zhenkang and raised his black saber in the air, ready to chop through the door before they barged inside.

He Zhenkang was about to nod his head in confirmation, when suddenly, a snapping sound was heard from behind him, attracting his attention.

The sound wasn't too loud, but in the dead-silent night, it was more than enough to attract the attention of the early rank 6 Spirit realm expert.

Turning his head around, He Zhenkang stared with wide eyes at the scene in front of him.

The peak rank 4 expert from his group had his head severed, before he had the chance to utter a single word.

A blue-robed young man was standing behind the peak rank 4 Spirit realm expert with a smile on his face, while his right hand was dripping with his teammate's blood.

An illusionary purple blade was extending from his hand, but surprisingly, not a single drop of blood touched the blade itself, as they all fell on the ground.

Under the moonlight, this scene looked especially creepy, but an experienced Spirit realm expert like He Zhenkang quickly came back to his senses.

Looking at the blue-robed young man, He Zhenkang had a serious look on his face as he asked in a solemn tone

''Who are you?''

Shun Long smiled lightly when he heard this question, while the illusionary purple blade on his right hand trembled for a moment, and after throwing the severed head that he was holding in his left hand towards He Zhenkang's feet, he answered in a voice that was completely devoid of emotion

''Since you came to ambush me late at night, shouldn't you know who I am?''

He Zhenkang's eyes, as well as his group members' immediately widened in response.

''You- You are the boss of this shop?'' He Zhenkang asked incredulously.

He couldn't understand how a rank 1 Spirit realm cultivator who was just an early fourth stage body refiner at the same time, could detect the ambush from his group and manage to assassinate one of them instead.
