Chapter 535

In the depths of the ancient battlefield, all sorts of battles were happening. Other than the battles between humans and beasts, the battles between kings were also very intense.

Zi Chen and the rest encountered all sorts of battles as they ventured deeper. There were several fierce battles. At first, they killed any beasts they saw, but in the end, they began to avoid the beasts.

There were many beasts in the depths, and they were all very strong. Each of them was comparable to a wolf cub or a demonic leopard cub. If the eight of them faced four beasts at the same time, it would be very difficult. It was even more difficult to kill them without suffering any injuries.

On the way, they would sometimes encounter an alliance of more than ten beasts, which was equivalent to more than ten demonic leopards. They had no choice but to avoid them.

The essence blood of ancient beasts was important, but their lives were even more important.

"Where is the place that senior mentioned?"

During this period, they kept venturing deeper and found many ancient sites, but they did not find the place that the old man had pointed them to.

"The old ancestor said that this place opens once every thousand years, but the area it opens to is different each time. Perhaps these two places are not in this area, or they never appeared," said the Spirit Devouring Rat.

When Tyrant heard this, his expression changed. "Not in this area? Do we have to wait a thousand years? But after a thousand years, I would have already reached the Inner Core realm."

The ancient battlefield only opened once every thousand years. It was already a great honor for them to be able to enter. How could they dare to ask for a second thousand years?

"We only have one chance. Find it. We must find it." Tyrant was unwilling to give up.

The place that the old man mentioned was very likely to have the Six Syllables Sanskrit Mantra. Tyrant had to find it.

The Spirit Devouring Rat continued to lead the way, searching for anything with spiritual energy.

Ancient beasts wanted different things from humans, so they did not take a second look at the many ancient sites and powerful inheritances of humans. They only wanted to transform into pure-blooded ancient beasts and leave this place.

Beside them were the Spirit Devouring Rats. They had an innate sensitivity towards Spiritual Energy. Therefore, everyone's harvest this time was extremely great. It could be said to be a great harvest.

During this period, even Shangguan Bingxi's eyes were constantly flashing with surprise. He looked at the Spirit Devouring Rat as if he was looking at a precious treasure.

"If we take these things back, it will be enough to establish a force."

Zi Chen's eyes flashed. In the depths of his heart, there was always a crazy and bold idea.

Two days later, after dodging several waves of attacks from the ancient beasts, the group arrived at a relatively desolate area.

There was a hint of coldness in the air, like some kind of killing intent. As soon as they arrived here, everyone felt an extremely uncomfortable feeling in their hearts, as if they were being targeted by some kind of peerless ferocious beast.

The Devil Ape lying on Wang Xian 'er's shoulder suddenly opened its eyes. A strange light flashed across its blood-red pupils.

The next moment, its body turned into nothingness and disappeared.

"Boom!"

After a few breaths, a violent explosion was heard in the void as a figure hidden in the dark was blasted out by the Devil Ape.

This was a figure hidden in the darkness. He held a pitch-black sharp blade in his hand. The sharp blade did not reflect light under the sunlight. Clearly, it was not an ordinary item.

There was a hint of surprise in the other party's eyes when he was suddenly blasted away. However, before he could continue hiding, the devil ape attacked once more.

The pitch-black shadow of the staff fell from the sky, bringing with it a terrifying aura. With an explosion, the shadow was blasted to death.

"There was actually someone hiding in the dark." After the shadow was killed, everyone finally reacted. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.

At this moment, the Devil Ape glanced at Shangguan Bingxi. Its blood-red pupils flashed with a strange light, and its expression was exceptionally ferocious.

Swoosh.

Zhang Haotian's expression changed instantly. As his body flashed, he disappeared with the sharp blade in his hand.

After a while, the sound of fighting could be heard from afar. The fighting was intense, but it did not last long. It stopped after a few breaths.

After a few breaths, Zhang Haotian returned with a pitch-black sharp blade in his hand. The sharp blade was as black as ink, but it did not reflect light under the sunlight. It was like a real assassination weapon.

"Not bad."

Zhang Haotian pointed at the sharp blade in his hand. He was not good with words and had always been cold. However, at this moment, he spoke. Obviously, he was very satisfied with this sharp blade.

The Devil Ape also returned at this time, holding the sharp blade and the spirit ring. It looked at the sharp blade in its hand and threw it to Zhang Haotian. "This is an assassin's weapon. It's very suitable for you."

Zhang Haotian did not decline. He directly put away the sharp blade. He had obtained the Human Butcher's inheritance, and this inheritance leaned towards the Dao of Assassination.

"Assassins? You're saying they're assassins?" Everyone was surprised.

"Yes, they're assassins. Only assassins have such a profound concealment technique. The Devil Ape discovered them in time, so they didn't have time to release their killing intent." Zhang Haotian nodded.

Then, Zhang Haotian looked at Shangguan Bingxi. "Their target should be you."

Shangguan Bingxi's face instantly paled. Her expression became extremely complicated. There was struggle and pain. In the end, her expression became as cold as ice. She said indifferently, "Since they're assassins, they're definitely from the Heavenly Kill Union. It has to be them."

The Heavenly Kill Union was a terrifying power that had existed for countless years. It was one of the top existences in the entire Martial Heaven Continent. Their branches practically covered the entire continent.

Why did the Heavenly Kill Union want to kill Shangguan Bingxi? Everyone pondered for a moment, and then they understood. It had to be Shangguan Qixiang.

Last time, Shangguan Bingxi had told them to let her go. They hadn't expected that Shangguan Qixiang would not repent and instead hire assassins to kill her.

"The Heavenly Kill Union? Assassins? Hmph, I hope that bastard will come." Wang Shan's eyes blazed with fury.

"That's right. If that bastard dares to appear, I'll definitely kill him. We'll settle old and new grudges together." Tyrant was also very direct.

Through their previous discussion, they were certain that the assassin who had killed Wang Shi was the same person who had tried to assassinate them.

From the two assassins, the crowd did not find any space containers that were specially used to store essence blood. Clearly, they were just ordinary genius assassins and not the real leaders.

"This place is a bit strange. Everyone should be careful. The devil ape and Zhang Haotian are in charge of guarding," said Zi Chen suddenly.

The assassins had already died, but the chill in the air was still there. Furthermore, the feeling of being watched by a fierce beast grew stronger as they ventured deeper.

Everyone nodded. They were much more careful as they ventured deeper. At the same time, they surrounded Shangguan Bingxi to protect her.

Under Zi Chen's arrangement, Zhang Haotian and the Devil Ape traveled through the void in secret to prevent any sudden appearance of assassins or other changes.

After a few miles, the devil ape once more encountered an assassin. In just two attacks, he was mercilessly killed.

"It's still an ordinary assassin. However, it doesn't seem like he's preparing an assassination. He's monitoring this place," said the devil ape.

"If an assassin is monitoring this place, what's there to monitor?" Everyone was puzzled. They couldn't understand. They could only continue forward.

Just like that, after a few more miles, the devil ape saw the assassin again. This time, it was Zhang Haotian who killed him.

This time, the devil ape was certain that the assassin was different from the previous two. He wasn't preparing to assassinate anyone, but was monitoring or guarding this place. Because the devil ape had discovered him from afar, he hadn't had time to attack.

The chill in the air grew thicker, making everyone feel uneasy. However, the assassin was guarding this place.

"Could there be some historical remains here?" Everyone naturally thought of this possibility.

A few hundred miles away, a black-clothed man appeared from the darkness. He looked ahead quietly. There were more than ten similarly dressed black-clothed men. They were using all their strength to break a restrictive spell.

"I've already lost four of my subordinates," said the black-clothed man coldly.

"Four of your subordinates? Did you encounter an ancient beast?" Behind the black-clothed man, a slightly surprised evil voice sounded.

"No, they're here."

"Who are they?"

"Your enemies."

The evil voice sounded surprised again and said, "It's those barbarians. How is that possible? They were able to kill the assassin who was hiding."

"Don't underestimate them. Even though they're barbarians, they're extremely strong."

"What should we do now?" Shangguan Qixiang looked at the black-clothed man and said, "Get ready to attack."

"Attack." The black-clothed man smiled coldly.

"If you're not going to attack, are you going to send your subordinates? Didn't you say that they were extremely strong?" Shangguan Qixiang frowned.

"In order to find this place, we, the Heavenly Assassins Alliance, have paid a great price. Many outstanding cultivators have died. After ten thousand years, we finally found a way to break this place. Now that the restrictive spell is about to be broken, the inheritance of the Heavenly Assassins Alliance is about to appear, do you think I'll send my people to help you solve this problem at such a critical moment?"

"Then what do you mean?"

"Send your people to stop them. Don't let those barbarians ruin my plan," said the black-clothed man coldly.

"Send my people."

Shangguan Qixiang's expression suddenly became agitated. He almost roared, "I only have a dozen people left. How can they be a match for them? You said that they're all extremely strong. You're sending them to their deaths."

The black-clothed man's expression was still indifferent, "Even if they're going to die, they have to stop them. If the inheritance is broken, not only them, but even you and I will die."

Shangguan Qixiang shuddered as he felt that the killing intent in the surroundings was even more penetrating. The black-clothed man did not say anything else. He just looked ahead and watched as the restrictive spells were broken one by one.

In the end, Shangguan Qixiang left.

While moving forward, Zi Chen and the others were stopped by a group of people. This group had a large number of people, close to fifteen. They were all holding pill weapons and were surrounded by killing intent.
