Chapter 2041

The sword light came from behind, breaking through the void, but it was silent.

There was no surge of a powerful aura, nor was there a terrifying pressure. There was only a black sword that did not reflect light, directly stabbing towards Zi Chen's head.

Zi Chen held the scabbard in his left hand and looked up at the green peak on the city wall. The smile on his face did not diminish. No one knew if he was still talking cheerfully or if he did not notice the attack behind him at all.

After Ya Wei finished speaking, his gloomy expression eased a little. Although Zi Chen was standing here, indicating that he had used up his last piece of Saint Crystal, Ya Wei believed that this assassination would be very satisfactory with the price of paying one Saint Crystal in advance.

On the city wall, everyone saw the abnormality behind Zi Chen and their expressions changed immediately.

All around, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

But … that was it. In the face of this sure-kill sword, changing their expressions was the limit of what they could do. As for exclaiming, before they could open their mouths, the sword had already arrived behind Zi Chen.

"Buzz."

Zi Chen still did not move, and even the smile on his face did not diminish, as if he really did not notice the abnormality behind him. Beside him, the void trembled slightly, and a misty light flashed past behind him.

This light was very faint. If one did not look carefully, they would not notice it at all.

Everyone in the field was very nervous at this moment. There were also many who did not notice this light.

Therefore, before they could exclaim, they could only close their eyes. Obviously, in the next moment, the sword would pierce through Zi Chen's head.

Poof.

A soft sound echoed in this extremely quiet atmosphere. Many of the cultivators with their eyes closed let out a disappointed sigh.

They did not expect that he would be assassinated as soon as he arrived.

"Bang."

Then, there was the sound of an object falling to the ground. Those cultivators who had closed their eyes could not help but open them. The first thing they saw was the shocked expressions of their companions next to them.

Then, they looked at the battlefield and were completely dumbfounded.

They saw that Zi Chen's expression did not change at all, and his head was not pierced. Instead, the assassin behind him had his head pierced and fell to the ground, dead.

"What's going on?"

These people obviously didn't know what was going on. Their faces were full of doubts, but now, no one would answer their doubts. In fact, they didn't have time to ask the questions in their hearts.

Because the assassination was still ongoing.

Swoosh. Swoosh. Swoosh.

The void split open once again as streaks of black light appeared. Each streak of black light carried a chilling killing intent.

Compared to the silence earlier, the commotion this time was much greater. A terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire area. A crazy killing intent suffocated everyone.

The assassination methods of an assassin had always been meticulous. When it came to targeting Zi Chen, they were even more meticulous.

It was obviously unrealistic to want to kill someone like Zi Chen in one hit.

The second wave of attacks came with great momentum, coming from all directions. Streaks of sword lights pierced towards Zi Chen's vital points.

The smile on Zi Chen's face finally disappeared. This was not because he was afraid of the sword lights shooting towards him from all directions, but because it was natural. No one would always have a smile on their face. If they did, it would not be a smile of confidence, but a pure silly smile.

Zi Chen's smile naturally disappeared. His left hand holding the scabbard was still relaxed. Even his state at this moment was extremely relaxed.

"Buzz."

The moment these streaks of sword lights arrived, that light trembling sound rang out again. Those who had not noticed the existence of the misty light before could finally see it clearly this time.

That misty light appeared beside Zi Chen and then began to revolve around Zi Chen.

As it rotated, the misty light would change its position from time to time. What it drew was not a perfect circle.

Pop. Pop. Pop. Pop. …

As the misty light flickered, a popping sound would be heard every time it passed by a black figure. Just like this, the popping sound rang out for nearly ten times.

The energy contained in the sword lights that arrived in front of Zi Chen suddenly dissipated. Only wisps of wind that were not very strong landed on Zi Chen's body. Zi Chen's black hair and black robes fluttered in the wind. Together with his handsome face and calm expression, Zi Chen appeared even more elegant.

All the sword lights dissipated after the misty light retreated. Then, the bodies of the black figures that were suspended in the air fell back down due to gravity, their vitality completely gone.

In the face of two waves of assassinations, Zi Chen did not move, but he had killed everyone.

"Hum." "Hum." "Hum."

However, this was not the end. The third wave of assassinations appeared. This time, four figures appeared on all sides of Zi Chen. The sharp sword lights carried a sure-kill energy attack.

Under the masks, the eyes of the four people were very cold and resolute.

"Buzz." "Buzz."

The light flickered again. Then, four more black figures appeared, enveloping Zi Chen in all directions. The sharp sword lights filled the heaven and earth. The cold killing intent caused the surrounding temperature to drop rapidly, turning it into a field of ice.

"Assassins."

"These are the assassins."

After four waves of attacks, the crowd finally reacted. Belated cries of alarm could be heard from afar.

However, these cries of alarm were quickly drowned out by the raging energy. More people were watching the assassination. How could they have the mood to care about these cries of alarm?

Other than the sound of energy fluctuations, no other sound could be heard in this world. There was not even the sound of fighting.

Looking at the attacks coming from all directions, Zi Chen's calm expression had an additional trace of indifference. The misty light that had just disappeared appeared once again.

Still, no one could see clearly what that light was. They only saw the light flickering once again.

"Pu." "Pu." "Pu."

One, two, three, four …

As this sound rang out, the crowd silently recorded the number in their hearts. As long as this sound rang out eight times, it meant that the assassination from all directions had failed again.

However, this time, when the sound rang out for the sixth time, something strange happened again.

A sharp sword light appeared at the place where the misty light had just swept past. Then, it ruthlessly pierced towards Zi Chen.

The sword light appeared very suddenly. It was obvious that the person had calculated the route of the misty light. The misty light that had just swept past should not be able to return in time. Therefore, the sword light was already in front of Zi Chen.

Facing this sword, Zi Chen still did not dodge. He only closed his eyes.

This was because this sword light was aimed at his eyes.

The eyes were the weakness of almost all cultivators. Since this assassin had managed to succeed with great difficulty, it was natural that he would target Zi Chen's weak point.

However, Zi Chen's reaction was to close his eyes. What kind of situation was this?

Closing his eyes and waiting for death?

Many people could not understand.

Logically speaking, Zi Chen could have punched or retreated. However, he did not. He only closed his eyes as if he was waiting for death.

When Ya Wei saw this scene, a cold smile appeared on his face. No matter what Zi Chen's goal was, as long as he was hit by this attack, even if he did not die, he would be seriously injured. Unless his physical body could withstand this attack. However, this was obviously impossible. No one could withstand such an assassination attack without any defense.

Even a Saint could not.

Clang.

There was a hint of joy in the cold eyes of the assassin. The sharp sword light pierced Zi Chen's eyes. However, it was as if he had stabbed a divine mountain. Not only was he unable to pierce through, but an even stronger and fiercer force came from Zi Chen's closed eyes.

Sparks flew in all directions. The sound of clanging resounded through heaven and earth. Zi Chen stood there without moving, but the assassin who attacked him was sent flying by a huge force.

At this moment, there were exactly twelve sounds. Then, the misty light rushed towards the assassin who had been sent flying and had hidden himself again.

Puff.

From the void, another voice rang out, and the body of another assassin fell out.

This assassination was obviously a failure. There were more than twenty corpses piled up on the ground. However, at this moment, no one was paying attention to the dead assassins. Instead, they were all looking at Zi Chen. The expression on their faces was as if they had seen a ghost.

This was because the assassin's attack had not been able to break Zi Chen's body. How strong was Zi Chen's body?

Without a defense, the assassin had not been able to break through Zi Chen's body. Once Zi Chen put up a defense, he was completely indestructible.

Zi Chen's indifferent face suddenly turned cold. He shouted at a certain spot in the void, "Don't you think it's a little too late to run now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the misty light beside Zi Chen began to flicker again. This time, it flickered without any pattern. It kept moving towards a certain spot in the void.

Puff. Puff. …

Every time the misty light flickered, a sound would be heard. At the same time, a black figure would fall out of the void, lifeless.

Zi Chen's eyes had turned gold and silver. His Yin-Yang Eye was fully activated.

The misty light was still flickering. At times, it was very close to Zi Chen. At other times, it was very far away from Zi Chen.

"Buzz."

When it flickered for the last time, the misty light reached Qing Feng's side and completely pierced through the void.

An assassin fell out of the void not far from Qing Feng. This shocked Qing Feng. Cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

At this moment, the scene was silent. All eyes were on Zi Chen. Now was Zi Chen's time to perform.

The misty light had an unimaginable power. It flickered continuously and was very lethal.

As the last ray of light fell, the misty light returned to Zi Chen's side. At this moment, the crowd could clearly see that the misty light was actually a small fairy. It flapped its wings, chubby and somewhat cute.

However, no one would associate this little thing with the word cute. This was because its existence had destroyed all the assassination attempts.
