1397 Slaughtering Core Assassins
Chu Yunfan’s voice echoed before Wei Wuya could figure out what was happening. Suddenly, he felt a terrifying presence in the air, followed by a tingling sensation.
Then a shocking sword-shaped light appeared out of thin air and slashed toward Chu Yunfan. The light was swift and deadly, with a pitch-black light inside it.
Clang!
This strike landed on Chu Yunfan’s body. At that moment, a black dragon appeared on Chu Yunfan’s body, blocking the sword-shaped light. Soon after, a figure appeared before the two. It was a man in black with a medium build.
‘He was the one hiding in the air just now!’
With that thought in mind, Wei Wuya instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He had not sensed the other party’s existence. Although his cultivation was not at its peak, he was still at the seventh tier of the Divine Abilities Stage.
The terrifying pressure the other party had just shown made Wei Wuya feel suffocated.
‘He’s a Core! It’s a Core assassin!’
Wei Wuya’s scalp tingled at that thought. He knew Core assassins were much more terrifying than ordinary Cores. An ordinary Core could not escape if a Core assassin targeted them. Only a few top-notch assassins like these existed, but each was an illustrious existence.
However, Wei Wuya knew no such assassin organization existed in Great Wei. That was because an assassin organization in the empire had killed the emperor in the past. It had caused a massive uproar then, and this organization had suffered insane strangulation. Although Great Wei paid a terrible price to kill the organization, various important Imperial Court officials suffered substantial casualties.
After that, there were no Core assassins in Great Wei. It was something everyone knew. There were other Core assassins had come up, but the Imperial Court quickly found and killed these people, or they fled Great Wei’s borders.
Wei Wuya was the prince of Great Wei, so he knew far more than the average person. He instantly thought of a terrifying possibility. The only one who would assassinate Chu Yunfan at this time was Great Wei.
‘This person is undoubtedly a Core assassin the Imperial Court had found from the outer realm!’
The Imperial Court had not taken action against Chu Yunfan. Instead, they were holding back a significant move.
Ordinary Cores were no match for Chu Yunfan. Even if someone sent them here, they would die. They might not even be able to block Chu Yunfan’s move. They could only assassinate Chu Yunfan through Core assassins.
However, they underestimated Chu Yunfan as he discovered them before they could get close.
The assassin instantly fled backward. As an assassin, he would flee a thousand miles away if his attack failed. Still, it was already too late for the assassin to escape.
Chu Yunfan reached outward with one hand and condensed his spirit energy, forming a giant hand.
The Core assassin was so fast that he had already run hundreds of meters away. Although fast, he could not escape Chu Yunfan’s speed and got caught by the giant hand.
“Are you leaving?” Chu Yunfan sneered.
Indeed, detecting these Core assassins was difficult, and others might need to get closer to detect even ordinary Cores. However, it was different for Chu Yunfan since he possessed the Imperial Physique and the Thunderclap Physique—special abilities that far exceeded ordinary people’s imagination.
His control over the power of thunder had reached the peak of perfection, especially with his Thunderclap Physique. An electromagnetic field around his body allowed him to detect anyone approaching him.
The Core assassin struggled to escape from Chu Yunfan’s grasp.
“Hmph!” Chu Yunfan snorted and suddenly exerted force, crushing the assassin in mid-air.
The former did not even ask who hired him because it was already self-evident. It must have been the Imperial Court. There were no other possibilities.
Chu Yunfan did not care and knew such things would happen sooner or later since he had already embarked on this path.
Wei Wuya sighed in relief. After all, the pressure he felt from the assassin was too great. These Core assassins might not even hold a candle to Chu Yunfan, but it was too terrifying to Wei Wuya.
Wei Wuya returned to his senses and saw Chu Yunfan suddenly stretching out his giant hand to grab him. Then the former saw five powerful sword-shaped lights slash downward, almost killing him.
Bang!
A colossal explosion sounded as Wei Wuya got dragged to Chu Yunfan’s side. The former was still in shock because he was also one of the assassins’ targets.
To the Imperial Court, Wei Wuya was even more detestable than Chu Yunfan. After all, a mighty rebellion had been set of because of Wei Wuya’s betrayal.
Chu Yunfan’s body emitted waves of electromagnetic force. Suddenly, five approaching figures appeared before them in the sky. The five people were Cores.
Wei Wuya trembled as he watched. Again, he was sure there was no such assassin organization in Great Wei. There could not be that many Cores even if there were assassins in Great Wei who had secretly broken through to the Core Stage.
The five figures instantly made a decision. They formed a small battle formation and launched a surprise attack on Chu Yunfan.
Bang!
Chu Yunfan did not even look as a black dragon appeared from his body and blocked the attacks. Then he casually waved, turning a powerful ball of thunder into a giant hand to slap one of the five people.
Bang!
A loud explosion echoed, and the assassin were smashed into pieces.
