Best Young Master

The slender sword was entirely black, devoid of any reflection, yet it exuded an endless, chilling killing intent!

This was by no means an ordinary Spiritual Treasure, but a Big Killer infinitely close to a Holy Weapon, emanating terrifying waves, as if countless beings were wailing.

The person was skilled in assassination, hiding and sneaking in the void, enduring all the way until the moment Ye Fan was most relaxed to launch a fierce strike, which could be called a deadly attack.

Swish!

At this critical moment, Ye Fan sent Yaling into the Virtual Space, and then a black Ancient Shield Fragment appeared above his head, blocking the lethal strike of the Killing Sword.

"Dang!"

With a loud sound, the black Ancient Shield Fragment remained undamaged, not even a glimmer appeared, the Killing Sword stabbed on it but couldn’t move forward at all.

"Buzz!"

Ye Fan swung his right hand, striking the young man in black with his palm, the golden palm entwined with purple Thunder Power, almost piercing through the void.

The young man in black also launched a punch, the black slender sword quivered, avoiding the black Shield Fragment, and thrusting towards Ye Fan’s shoulder.

"Seeking death!"

Ye Fan coldly snorted, flipping his left hand, five fingers like hooks, grabbing towards the slender sword.

His body was invincible, able to intercept the Holy Weapon refined by a Saint Lord Level strong person with bare hands. This Killing Sword, though infinitely close to a Holy Weapon, was not a true Holy Weapon and could not harm his fingers.

"Bang!"

Ye Fan grabbed the sword aiming at his shoulder, while simultaneously exchanging punches with the young man in black.

"Ah..."

Blood splattered, the young man in black let out a miserable scream, his fist shattering inch by inch, invaded by Ye Fan’s Thunder Power into his meridians.

"Bang!"

The young man in black showed a ferocious expression, decisively shattered his right arm to stop the invasion of Thunder Power, his figure blurred, attempting to meld into the void to escape.

"Since you’re here, don’t think about leaving!"

Ye Fan’s fingers turned into a blade, slashing at the void, a blazing sword light flashed, the young man in black let out an earth-shattering scream, being split directly, his Divine Soul obliterated, dissipating in the world.

"Who wants to kill me?"

Ye Fan lowered his head in contemplation. It was obvious from the young man’s skill in concealing his presence and his deadly strike that he was definitely sent by some assassin organization.

Ye Fan asked himself, he had never had contact with any assassin organization, let alone any enmity.

So undoubtedly, someone must have paid these assassins to kill him, but who could it be?

In an instant, Ye Fan thought of the Gu Family, Zhou Family, Li Family, and other clans with unresolved vendettas against him.

Simultaneously, he also thought of the Ling Family. Although the Ling Family Ancestor Ling Yunzhi sincerely wanted to invite him back to the clan, it did not mean the Ling Family wouldn’t do such a thing, because Ling Yunzhi didn’t agree to his terms.

"It’s really a headache!"

Ye Fan gently rubbed his Taiyang point, assassin organizations are like maggots in the bones, once they accept a task, unless it’s completed, they persistently stalk their target, always ready to deliver a fatal strike.

Ye Fan picked up the Killing Sword from the ground, seeing two ancient large characters engraved on the sword hilt, already blurred and indistinguishable.

Of course, mainly because he was not proficient in the ancient text of this world, coupled with the text on this Killing Sword being like a ghost talisman, it was really hard to discern.

If Elder Xuan were not in slumber, he might have recognized it, even the Bai Yan wolf might, given it was a sealed ancient monster from Ancient Times.

Then, he looked up to the void and said plainly, "Since you’re here, show yourself! Or do I have to invite you out one by one?"

His keen intuition told him that there were still assassins hidden in the surrounding void, but he did not know exactly which piece of void they were in, otherwise he would never have spoken, instead, striking directly.

"Indeed, the young ones are to be feared, you could actually detect us!"

An elderly man clapped while walking out from the void.

This person had a thin face and a very ordinary appearance, the type that would be lost in a crowd, fitting the assassin’s characteristics.

Assassins can’t have too outstanding looks and must excel at hiding their aura.

With his appearance, the void in another direction also split open, several black-clothed young assassins walked out one after another, each exuding astonishing killing intent.

The elderly man’s surroundings also saw the void cracking, one by one, young assassins appeared, forming two distinct camps, surrounding Ye Fan in the middle.

The two camps, a total of more than ten assassins, with strengths around the Mid-Stage of Lord Realm, led by two old assassins already at Lord Realm Peak, just a step away from breaking through into Venerable Realm, becoming Saint Lord Level strong people.

With such a line-up, let alone a Mid-Stage of Lord Realm little Cultivator, even a Saint Lord would frown.

"You must think highly of me to dispatch so many assassins to kill just one person, I truly feel honored!"

Ye Fan glanced around at the assassins, smirking as he spoke.

These assassins usually hide in the void like the first one to test him, whom Ye Fan had slain.

But now, they all revealed themselves because they felt it unnecessary to do otherwise—this set-up was an absolute kill; no matter how strong Ye Fan was, he had no chance of escaping this calamity!

Therefore, they were very relaxed, not even putting this battle in their hearts.

In their eyes, Ye Fan’s strength was indeed strong, but he was not skilled in slaughter, whereas they excelled in assassination, and they had an absolute numerical advantage. The result was beyond suspense.

"To have both the Red Dust and Time Killer Sacred Lands simultaneously act to kill you, it’s enough for you to be proud even if you die!"

The aged assassin leading the team said.

The surrounding dozen assassins laughed lightly together, their laughter filled with disdain and contempt. In their view, Ye Fan at this moment was just meat on the cutting board, allowing them to butcher.

Hmm?

Upon hearing the old assassin’s words, Ye Fan’s heart skipped a beat. The Red Dust Holy Land and Time Sanctum are two of the top three Assassin Sacred Lands in this world, ranking just below the Netherworld Assassin Sacred Land. Their legacy is even older than some Holy Lands and ancient families, making them the most troublesome.

In the vast red dust, I am the master!

This is people’s evaluation of the Red Dust Assassin Sacred Land, and it is their creed. Whenever in the vast red dust, no one can evade their assassinations.

Taking orders to claim lives, the Red Dust Assassin organization once flourished, causing many cultivators to turn pale upon hearing their name. If targeted by them, it equates to being registered with King Yan.

However, what makes people most hate the Red Dust Killer Organization is not their way of slaughter, but that they even accept orders against ordinary people, and show no mercy to them.

This is also a key reason why the Red Dust Assassin Sacred Land is widely known, while the Time Killer Sanctuary and Netherworld Assassin Sacred Land are circulated among cultivators; only the Red Dust Killer Sacred Land, even ordinary people know about.

It can be said that the Red Dust Killer Sacred Land absolutely has the effect of silencing children; upon hearing the name Red Dust, even little children dare not cry at night.

In contrast to Red Dust Assassin Sacred Land, Time Killer Sanctuary appears much more low-key, but they also claim lives once they act, known never to have failed.

Don’t believe? Look up. Who has time spared?

Even a generation of Heavenly Pride cannot withstand the erosion of time; time is the most merciless.

Time Killer Sanctuary precisely means this; no one can escape time’s reckoning. Time Killer Sanctuary is also well-known among cultivators.

Of course, the most mysterious and powerful isn’t these two Assassin Sacred Lands, but the Netherworld Assassin Sacred Land. Until now, no one knows where it actually is, rumored to be in the netherworld.

Of course, no one has found the Red Dust Killer Sacred Land and Time Killer Sanctuary either; otherwise, given they have assassinated so many descendants of various Holy Lands, they would have been eradicated long ago.

Even though the people of the Netherworld Killer Sacred Land did not come, such a formation is still astonishing!

"Another bitter battle is coming!"

Ye Fan sighed inwardly, fearing that today a tough fight is inevitable before he can leave.

He just fought fiercely with the Heavenly Prince, himself injured, his primordial source damaged, and Divine Power consumed very seriously. It can be said, he absolutely cannot compare with his peak state now.

"Can you tell me who exactly hired you to kill me, this dying person?" Ye Fan asked that old assassin.

"We assassins have rules, we must never disclose any information about our employer. After you die, I will burn it to you. For now, you can only be a confused ghost!"

The old assassin waved his hand, saying to the young assassins behind him, "I’ll give you a chance to hone yourselves, kill him for me!"

"Such an opportunity is rare, you go forth as well, join together to execute him. Since our Time Killer Sanctuary has taken the order, we must complete it!"

An old assassin from another direction also waved his hand, immediately the two Assassin Sacred Lands’ more than ten young assassins pressed towards Ye Fan collectively.

"Do you really think I’m a lamb waiting to be slaughtered? Today I’ll ensure your arrival with no departure!"

Ye Fan let out a clear shout, his entire aura surged, strong qi and blood rushed out from the top of the skull like a dragon, shooting straight into the skies.

"Kill!"

Sensing things were not good, more than ten young assassins moved simultaneously, beams of Killing Light slashed towards Ye Fan****; each of them possessed Spiritual Treasures comparable to Holy Weapons, absolutely capable of instantly killing cultivators of the same realm.

"Buzz!"

Ye Fan’s Mind moved, opening the Eight Phase World Domain, eight runes began rotating slowly around him, smothering all Killing Light with no strike able to penetrate the domain.

"The strength of Domain? Do you think only you have a Domain, we have them too!"

The assassins shouted in unison.

Immediately, they also unfolded their own domains.

Fiery Fire Domain, Hurricane Domain, Ruoshui Domain, etc., various domains charged towards Ye Fan’s Eight Phase World Domain.

The power of domains can counteract each other. They firmly believed that no matter how strong Ye Fan’s domain was, it couldn’t possibly withstand so many domains’ attacks and would inevitably be shattered in an instant.

However—

The scene which shocked them occurred; their domains could not breach into Ye Fan’s domain.

Ye Fan’s domain was like a barrier, a barrier they couldn’t break, no matter how they attacked.

However, Ye Fan didn’t feel good either, his Divine Power heavily consumed, and only with the eight runes madly spinning could he offset the domain power from the young assassins.
