Chapter 452

More and more Core Realm old monsters were gathering around them. Shangguan Feixiong, who should have been confident enough to take them down easily, now had a gloomy expression on his face.

His guess was reasonable. Only a true expert would be able to protect the little princess for so long. Only then would they be able to keep her alive.

However, there were only two of them in front of him. One was a monk, while the other was an early Daoist. How could they be experts with such strength? Right now, the two of them were having trouble protecting themselves, not to mention working together.

"How could this be?"

Shangguan Feixiong could not figure it out. While he was doubting the strength of the two, he was also wondering how the little princess had managed to survive for so long.

"Shangguan Feixiong, you are quite fast." A cold laugh was heard from the black-robed man's side.

"Our Shangguan family does not have any grudges with your Heavenly Kill Union. Let go of the little princess, and I can let you go. Otherwise, I will kill you all." Shangguan Feixiong said indifferently.

"Shangguan Feixiong, you indeed have muscles in your head. We killed your brother and forced your father to commit suicide. Now, you are telling me that you have no grudges with us? Do you think we are stupid?"

The black-robed man looked at Shangguan Feixiong with a mocking smile and said, "I can see that you are clenching your teeth so hard that they are about to shatter. Let her go. If you let her go, do you think we can still live?"

The eight of them were surrounded by Core Realm old monsters, but they were not afraid at all. Seven of them had cold expressions, and only one of them spoke.

"You are looking for death." Shangguan Feixiong was furious.

Beside Zi Chen, Yue Xianzi's eyes were red. Shangguan Feixiong's brother was her father, and Shangguan Feixiong's father was her second grandfather.

"That's more like it. You have muscles in your head. Being angry is your true nature."

The black-robed man mocked, "You are just learning to be patient. Why don't you take a look? Do you look like that kind of person?"

Veins bulged on Shangguan Feixiong's forehead. His expression was unusually cold. The surrounding Core Realm old monsters were also glaring at him, their killing intent surging.

"What's wrong? All of you are so worked up. Are you going to kill me? Hehe, don't get too worked up. Otherwise, I will be even more worked up than you. What if my hand trembles and I kill your little princess?"

"If you hurt the little princess, I'll make you wish you were dead. I'll make you regret being born into this world," Shangguan Feixiong said.

"Shangguan Feixiong, you should threaten someone else. Threats are useless against us." The black-clothed man sneered with disdain.

"Now, all of you scram. I find you all very annoying."

There were dozens of Original Core eccentrics around them. If they attacked, they would be able to kill all of them in an instant. But now, they were being reprimanded by a black-robed man. Dissatisfaction appeared on their faces.

"What? Didn't you hear? Could it be that you want me to kill someone?"

The black-clothed man glared and his voice became very cold. "If you don't retreat now, you will soon be able to obtain something from the little princess. I don't know what you want, an arm, an eye, an ear, a nose, or even a head."

Yue Xianzi's face paled instantly. She grabbed Zi Chen's hand tightly. Zi Chen patted her gently, telling her not to worry.

"Back off a little," Shangguan Feixiong said coldly.

Everyone was unwilling, but they had to back off. They naturally could not let the little princess get hurt. In an instant, everyone retreated a few miles. However, they were all gnashing their teeth, wanting to eat this black-clothed man alive.

"Haha."

The black-clothed man laughed evilly. He turned to Yue Xianzi and said, "Little Fairy, little princess, come with us."

"Why should I?" Zi Chen blocked Yue Xianzi's path and asked coldly.

"Brat, you're only in the air. Do you have the right to speak here?"

The black-clothed man's eyes flashed coldly. He said arrogantly, "Didn't you see? Even that guy with muscles in his head did not dare to say anything. You still dare to talk nonsense. Do you want to die early so that you can reincarnate?"

Zi Chen smiled and said, "Of course I don't want to die early. But now that you're so arrogant, what if you're suddenly caught by them?"

"Humph, with the little princess in my hands, no one can catch me. You should worry about yourself first."

"Then what if the little princess is not in your hands?" Zi Chen asked again.

"Haha, what a stupid question. Of course the little princess is not in my hands. She's right in front of you. Do you think you can fly now?" The black-clothed man laughed loudly.

Zi Chen frowned and asked, "You're an assassin. You should be cold and emotionless. Why do you talk so much?"

"Brat, you dare to question me?" The black-clothed man stared.

Zi Chen shook his head and said seriously, "No, I'm just curious. Look at them, they don't even talk. It seems like you're very different from them."

In the distance, under the gaze of the group of Inner Core experts, the two were asking and answering questions. They were also curious as to why this assassin was so talkative.

"Since I'm curious, I'll tell you and let you know before you die. I'm talkative because I'm happy today. As for why I'm happy, haha." The black-clothed man turned to Shangguan Feixiong and said, "Because I can train this guy with muscles in his head like a dog. Haha."

In the distance, the cold light in Shangguan Feixiong's eyes grew. The others were also filled with killing intent.

Zi Chen asked, "Do you have enmity with him?"

"Of course there is enmity. Moreover, it is a great enmity. Twenty years ago, he killed my elder brother and almost killed me. The events of that day are still vivid in my mind. I have always been thinking about revenge. Haha, today, I finally have the opportunity to do so."

The black-clothed man laughed crazily, "I forced his father to his death, and now I can train him like a dog. Isn't this great? Isn't this worth talking about?"

Then, the black-clothed man pointed at Shangguan Feixiong and said, "Come, Flying Dog, bark twice for me."

The other Inner Core experts couldn't bear to watch any longer. They wanted to tear this black-clothed man apart. Shangguan Feixiong's eyes grew even colder.

"Flying Dog, don't look at me like that. Bark twice for me, or I'll give you two arms," threatened the black-clothed man.

"So that's how it is. I understand." Just as they were about to reach the end of their patience, Zi Chen spoke once more with a faint smile on his face.

"Brat, what do you mean?" The black-clothed man glanced at him.

Zi Chen shook his head and said, "Nothing. I just hope you can still be this happy later."

"As long as the little princess is in my hands, I'll be happy no matter what. Plus, Flying Dog has to bark twice," said the black-clothed man proudly.

"Is that so? Then I hope you can persevere until the end. Goodbye, we'll meet again." Zi Chen's smile suddenly turned cold, and he shouted, "Demonic Ape!"

As his voice faded, the ground exploded, and an object flew out. It was the Demonic Ape. In its little paw, there was a Taiji diagram with two types of extreme energy circulating around it.

The Demonic Ape squeaked and threw the diagram to Zi Chen. It then jumped on Zi Chen's shoulder.

"Buzz."

In the next moment, rays of light flashed around Zi Chen. Circles rose up and spread out like ripples, forming a strange pattern. Zi Chen and the other two were inside the light, coldly looking at the black-clothed man.

"This is …" Everyone was stunned, not understanding what was going on.

"Stop him! Quick, stop him!" Although the black-clothed man didn't understand what was going on, he felt that something was wrong and shouted to urge them.

Unfortunately, their reaction was too slow, or it would be more accurate to say that it happened too quickly.

As soon as the black-clothed man's voice faded, the light that rose from the ground completely enveloped the three of them. Then, the three of them disappeared.

After that, a lot of energy fell and completely shattered the ground.

"This is … a teleportation array." The black-clothed man opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

"What's going on?"

The other assassins who didn't speak were all dumbfounded. Why would a teleportation array suddenly appear here?

Moreover, they were supposed to be like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Their only trump card was gone just like that.

"It's gone. It's gone just like that." As they were dumbfounded, a deep sense of despair rose from the bottom of their hearts.

The sudden change of events caused even the Shangguan Family's group to be dumbfounded. Clearly, this was a scene that had exceeded their expectations.

Only Shangguan Feixiong, who received Zi Chen's message, remained calm.

"Hey, we meet again. I wonder if you're still happy."

Just as everyone was dumbfounded, Zi Chen's voice sounded again. However, he was already a few miles away, waving at the black-clothed man with a mocking expression.

Beside him were Yue Xianzi and Tyrant. The three of them had escaped.

"You, you, you …" Looking at Zi Chen, the black-clothed man was so angry that he couldn't say a word. His whole body trembled. After a long while, he finally shouted, "I'm going to kill you!"

However, before he could do anything, the Shangguan family's experts, who had been suppressing their anger, charged at the black-clothed man. Each of them was like a pack of wolves and tigers, howling as their auras of the Origin Core Realm surged.

The black-clothed man was stunned for a moment before he turned around and ran. However, it was this wrong decision that caused him to miss the only chance to self-detonate.

Dazzling light soared into the sky as destructive energy swept out. The destruction of the void was repeated over and over again.

The advantage in numbers caused the battle to end quickly. With everyone working together, the black-clothed man didn't even have the chance to self-detonate before he was captured by Shangguan Feixiong.

Zi Chen and Tyrant were dumbfounded. They now had a better understanding of the Shangguan family's foundation. In the barbarian lands, there were very few Origin Core eccentrics. But here, they were ganging up on people.

Furthermore, their ganging up technique was very high. They were organized and disciplined, clearly proficient in ganging up on people.

The battle quickly ended. Apart from the black-clothed man, the other eight assassins were all killed. Under the joint attack of so many experts, they couldn't even self-detonate their Origin Core.

As for the black-clothed man, he was dragged toward Shangguan Feixiong like a dead dog.

"Kneel!"

His cultivation had been sealed, and he was slapped to the ground like a mortal. He was in an extremely sorry state.

His body was covered in blood, and his face was swollen like a pig's head. He no longer looked as arrogant as before.

Shangguan Feixiong walked forward slowly with a mocking expression on his face. It was indeed karma. In just a short moment, the two's identities had changed drastically.

"Shangguan Feixiong, what are you doing?" The black-clothed man was somewhat frightened. He said, "If you want to kill me, do whatever you want. I just want a quick death."

"No rush." Shangguan Feixiong smiled faintly and said, "Come, call me twice first."

"Flying dog, how dare you insult me?" The black-clothed man glared.

Slap!

With a crisp sound, a slap landed on the black-clothed man's face. A Origin Core expert yelled, "F * ck, how can you talk to the lord like that? Your attitude is not right. Do it again."

"Flying dog, you want to torture your lord? You must be dreaming." The black-clothed man coughed out blood and spat out his teeth. Cold light flickered in his eyes. He would rather die than submit.

"I don't want to see him. Take him away and let him die slowly." Shangguan Feixiong restrained the cold light in his eyes and said indifferently.

"Yes, my lord." Everyone carried the black-clothed man away. Soon, shrill screams were heard in the forest.

Then, Shangguan Feixiong walked toward Yue 'er and the others.

PS: This chapter was edited at 7: 75 PM last night. When I uploaded it, I realized that there was no internet connection. I woke up at 2 AM in the morning and made a number of phone calls to ask what was going on. At 4 AM, I asked the person who fixed the broadband to come over. After that, I tried to find the reason and finally found that I owed money.
