Chapter 343

Chapter 343 Domain suppression, the power of flying sword!

“Pay attention! Although Cang County may be small, intelligence indicates that the Wei family has two Xiantian Realm masters in command.

Therefore, this operation must be swift. After capturing them, retreat immediately and avoid unnecessary complications,”

Elder You ordered.

“Yes!”

the other figures responded in a deep voice.

“Elder You, since you say that person has close ties to the Wei family, what if he’s also in this city?”

The others paused at this remark.

Indeed, if he’s also here, wouldn’t they be exposed if they went in like this?

Thinking of the information they’d recently gathered, everyone hesitated.

While they were confident, they also knew that they were no match for him.

“Don’t worry. The spiritual energy here is thin. With his level of cultivation, it simply can’t meet his needs. Therefore, he definitely won’t be cultivating here,”

Elder You said confidently.

Given his strength, if he were cultivating in the city, the spiritual energy in the surrounding area would undoubtedly be far more tranquil than it is now.

Hearing Elder You’s words, the others finally relaxed and began to move.

Though the county walls were high, they clearly couldn’t stop this group of mysterious and powerful individuals.

Even as they scaled the walls, the figures didn’t betray a single trace of presence.

Like lifeless shadows, they swiftly crept towards the Wei Mansion without alerting anyone.

“Senior Chen, come and try this dish. I had the kitchen devise a new dish based on a recipe left by Young Master Lu.

Try it and see if it’s as delicious as Young Master Lu’s.”

Inside the Wei Mansion, Madam Wei enthusiastically introduced a newly served dish to the old doctor.

“Don’t bother with that, old man. As long as I can fill my stomach,” the old doctor said politely.

Just as Madam Wei was about to help him pick up some food

, his expression suddenly changed.

Then, several eerie figures suddenly appeared in the hallway and pounced upon Madam Wei.

“Madam!”

Wei Xinghe was startled, his aura erupting as he attempted to block his beloved wife.

“You overestimate your abilities.”

But just as he moved, the eerie figure at the head suddenly snorted, stretched out its arm, and fiercely clawed forward.

As the claws lashed out, Wei Xinghe felt as if everything before him was captured by that hand.

No matter how he dodged, he couldn’t escape its reach.

Feeling the overwhelming aura emanating from the other party and the overwhelming pressure bearing down on him, Wei Xinghe’s eyes lit up with fear.

The newcomer was far more powerful than him. Even with his initial Xiantian realm cultivation, he couldn’t even withstand a single blow.

Whoosh!

Just as Wei Xinghe was about to despair

, a strange wave emerged from the old doctor, centered around him, and rapidly spread throughout the hall.

At the same time, Elder You and the others felt an immensely powerful pressure bearing down on them.

Not only did the hands reaching for Wei Xinghe freeze, but even the figures lunging at Madam Wei were frozen in place.

“Domain? How is this possible?!”

Feeling the overwhelming power pressing down on him, Elder You’s eyes lit up with disbelief.

Without a second thought, no longer holding back, he unleashed a powerful aura, attempting to break free from the restraining force.

Boom!

However, despite his full force, Elder You was horrified to discover that he couldn’t completely break free from the old doctor’s domain.

Although he had regained control of his body, he felt as if he were stuck in a quagmire, his movements and speed slowing considerably.

Even Elder You was in such a state, let alone the others.

The other figures accompanying Elder You were practically pinned to their spot, unable to move.

Had Lu Qing been here, he would have been astonished to discover that his master’s control over the domain had reached a new level.

Taking advantage of the temporary suppression, the old doctor gently pushed Madam Wei over to Wei Xinghe’s side. He

then met the horrified gazes of Elder You and the others and demanded in a deep voice,

“Who are you, and why are you attacking Patriarch Wei and his men?”

A slight frown etched its face.

He sensed a familiar presence from Elder You and the

others. The aura they exuded seemed identical to the assassins from Wujian Tower who had attacked them in the Holy City.

Unfortunately, Elder You had no intention of answering the old doctor’s question.

Realizing that the elder before him was a terrifying power beyond his wildest imagination, he made a decisive move.

A wisp of his mind activated an artifact in his arms, and in the next moment, a powerful aura rose from his body, instantly shattering the suppressive force of the old doctor’s domain.

“Retreat!”

After shattering the old doctor’s domain, Elder You had no desire to fight any longer.

With a roar, he shot out at breakneck speed.

The remaining figures, unafraid of even a moment’s hesitation, deployed their skills and fled.

“Hmm?”

The old doctor had noticed something the moment Elder You activated the treasure.

However, the power of the treasure was beyond his expectations. Even with his control over the domain, he was easily able to break it.

Of course, this was also because, considering he was in the Wei Mansion and had to protect the servants in the hall, the old doctor didn’t fully unleash the power of his domain.

Otherwise, if he had used his full strength, the entire Wei Mansion would have been razed to the ground.

Seeing that Elder You and the others were about to escape the Wei Mansion, the old doctor didn’t think twice.

With a thought, a sharp stream of light suddenly flew out from his body, flying forward at an extremely fast speed.

In a mere moment, it was behind one of the figures, piercing through the back and exiting through the chest.

The figure suddenly froze after being pierced by the light. The body, which had already leaped into the air, lost all its strength and fell downwards.

However, the sharp light, after leaving one person behind, did not stop, and continued to fly towards the next figure!

“Flying sword!”

Elder You, who had been paying attention to the movements behind him, suddenly saw the true appearance of the light, his eyes widened suddenly, and his heart was filled with horror.

He recognized it as the magical flying sword of ancient legends, possessed only by immortal cultivators!

This seemingly unremarkable old man possessed not only a domain, but was also a legendary cultivator who practiced the art of flying swords?!

Elder You felt his heart tremble. He

didn’t dare pause for a moment, his aura rising to its peak. He poured the power of his soul, emanating from the acupoint between his eyebrows, into the rare treasure in his arms without reservation.

With this explosion, a black halo emerged from Elder You’s arms, enveloping him.

The next moment, Elder You’s speed suddenly increased several times. In an instant, he rushed forward, leaped over the wall, and disappeared.

“No, Elder, help!”

The others, already terrified by their companion’s instantaneous death, suddenly

saw Elder You abandon them, harnessing the power of the rare treasure to escape, and despair filled their eyes.

But no matter how frightened they were, the old doctor’s attacks would not cease.

The stream of light kept moving back and forth, attacking the remaining figures.

Seeing no hope of escape, the strange figures had attempted a desperate struggle.

However, the old doctor, having comprehended the realm of sword energy, possessed a profound level of swordsmanship.

Furthermore, the art of flying swords contained within it profound sword techniques.

Therefore, despite the strange figures’ desperate resistance, they were no match for the immense speed of the flying swords and the old doctor’s exquisite swordsmanship.

Each one was pierced through the chest and fell to the ground.

After ensuring that the strange figures had no resistance, the old doctor, with a mental reflex, retracted the flying swords.

As for Wei Xinghe and Madam Wei, they watched in astonishment.

It was only when the old doctor sheathed the flying swords that Wei Xinghe regained consciousness.

“Thank you, Senior Chen, for saving me and my wife once again,”

Wei Xinghe said with awe and immense gratitude.

The auras radiated by those individuals just now were far more powerful than his own.

He could hardly imagine what would have happened to him and his wife if the old doctor had not been there today.

“No need to thank me. These people have strange origins. It’s possible I’ve implicated you this time,”

the old doctor sighed.

From the aura emanating from those men as they resisted the flying swords, he was certain they were from the same Wujian Tower assassins who had assassinated them.

Wei Xinghe pondered, “Senior Chen, do you know the identities of these assassins?”

“I can’t be 100% certain. Let’s ask them first.”

The old doctor walked out into the courtyard, toward the men lying on the ground.

Wei Xinghe was stunned, then hurriedly followed.

Once inside, he discovered that the men the old doctor had struck down with his miraculous power were still breathing, not completely dead.

While not dead, their injuries were significant.

The old doctor’s powerful sword energy had shattered most of their vital energy and blocked vital meridians.

Even trying to move was difficult.

Seeing the old doctor emerge, the men on the ground were filled with awe.

When they had entered the Wei residence, they hadn’t sensed a hint of danger from the old man.

They hadn’t anticipated his presence, however, as a terrifying presence.

“Tell me, who are you? Are you from Wujian Tower? And why did you attack the Wei family?”

the old doctor asked, looking at the faintly breathing group.

The eyes of the men lying on the ground suddenly widened.

They hadn’t expected the old man before them to see through their identities and origins at a glance.

Some, astute, immediately connected the dots.

Staring at the old doctor, their eyes widened: “Are you the master of the young man who killed Xuanming and the others in the Holy City?”

Upon hearing this, the others also realized, recalling the intelligence they had gathered.

Yes, possessing a domain and possessing an aged appearance—wasn’t that exactly what the intelligence had revealed about the master of the master-disciple relationship?

They hadn’t expected that, beyond the domain, this man possessed the even more terrifying art of flying swords.

Thinking of the strange flying sword just now, the people lying on the ground couldn’t help but shudder.

That flying sword was too terrifying, far beyond the scope of martial arts, and it was simply not something that they, who were in the Xiantian realm, could resist.

“So, you are indeed the killers from Wujian Tower?”

The old doctor saw the reactions of the few people and understood.

Suddenly, the old doctor couldn’t help but feel a little scared.

He had heard from the owner of Tianji Tower that the killers from Wujian Tower had always acted recklessly, using any means necessary, and had no moral principles.

This time, they came to the Wei Mansion, obviously because they had found out something and wanted to capture the head of the Wei family and Madam Wei to achieve some unspeakable things.

If he hadn’t happened to be here this time, once Wei Xinghe and his wife were captured.

No one knew what would happen next.

“Old Senior, we have no ill intentions here. We are simply being asked to ask Patriarch Wei and Madam Wei to come.

We beg you to spare us and our lives. We are willing to offer you a generous gift in return for your kindness.”

One of the men lying on the ground suddenly remembered some information about the old doctor in the intelligence.

His gaze shifted, and he suddenly pleaded with the old doctor for mercy.

Simultaneously, the others joined in their plea.

“Yes, Old Senior, please be merciful and spare us just this once!”

“If you can spare us this time, we will reform ourselves and never do anything against our conscience or morality again!”

“Please spare us, spare us!”

Seeing the men before him weeping and desperately begging for mercy,

even though he knew they were assassins from Wujian Tower, the old doctor’s heart softened.

He was not one to kill without mercy; otherwise, he wouldn’t have spared their lives.

Now that they were unarmed and powerless to resist, he could no longer bring himself to kill them.

However, the old doctor knew that the assassins of Wujian Tower were all extremely vicious.

Their current painful pleas for mercy were likely just a pretense.

If he softened his heart and let them go, he might even be aiding and abetting the evil.

After a moment’s hesitation, the old doctor suddenly said, “Master Wei, I remember you have a tamed falcon in your mansion. Could you use it to deliver messages?”

“Exactly. Who does Senior Chen want to send this letter to?” Wei Xinghe asked hurriedly.

He had overheard the conversation between the old doctor and these men and realized they were assassins sent by the Wujian Tower.

Wei Xinghe didn’t know much about the Wujian Tower.

His Wei family had no records of this sect.

However, when he had previously told his youngest son about his trip to Zhongzhou, he had learned that it was a terrifying assassin sect that had disappeared for over a thousand years.

It now seemed to be connected to Hanging Mountain, one of the four secret sites.

So, upon learning that these men were assassins from the Wujian Tower, Wei Xinghe immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

“I’d like to ask you to send a letter to Ah Qing, informing him of what’s happening here and asking him to come over.”

The old doctor was at a loss as to how to deal with these Wujian Tower assassins and could only ask Lu Qing for help.

“Okay, I’ll send this letter to Young Master Lu. It seems the old ancestor is also at the other courtyard, so I’ll have him come back with us.”

Wei Xinghe immediately left.

Not long after, a falcon soared into the sky from the Wei Mansion, circled a few times, and flew towards Jiuli Village.
