y candlelight.Not until the next morning did Su Xin bid farewell and depart."At such a young age, to already possess such extraordinary ability, and to single-handedly wield a sword, traversing the wo...This kind of fright came without any warning, purely from the instinctive alarm of one's own body and blood vessels in the face of a life-or-death crisis.

A ghostly figure appeared behind him at some unknown point in time.

Under the cover of night, a black light, carrying boundless killing intent, surged towards Su Xin's heart.

"Assassin!" Su Xin's eyes flashed with a trace of fear.

That's too fast!

How fast is that!

There was no warning whatsoever. This person didn't make a sound until they appeared behind him, not even the slightest hint before he actually made his move.

Even breathing seemed absent.

Su Xin had just finished practicing swordsmanship and was still relaxing his muscles.

The timing of the strike was impeccable.

This assassin's skill is equally terrifying. Remember the URL

In this situation, even Su Xin wouldn't be able to completely avoid the black light. The only consolation was that he had broken through to the Sea Transformation Realm, and due to his bloodline, his ability to perceive danger was far superior to ordinary people, which gave him a sliver of instinctive warning.

At the brink of death, Su Xin twisted his body with all his might. Finally, just as the 'black light' was about to touch his skin, he managed to shift his body a little distance away.

"Poof!"

A cold 'black light' pierced Su Xin's body directly, his chest caved in on one side, flesh and blood scattering everywhere. Su Xin also felt a sweet sensation in his throat.

Whoosh!

Ignoring the excruciating pain in her body, she hastily retreated.

"Didn't he die"

Under the moonlight, a bewitching face veiled in shadow lifted. In icy eyes, a flicker of surprise flashed.

Given her skill and the perfect timing of the assassination, even a peak Sea Transformation expert, unless they were one of the top contenders who could pass through the Dragon Seeking Tower, would not have survived. But here was this young master from the Su family, with merely the cultivation base of an early Sea Transformation stage, yet he didn't die instantly

"Still have to die!"

A surge of terrifying killing intent erupted from the alluring figure. In an instant, she unleashed terrifying speed, catching up to Su Xin before he could even steady himself.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

That icy 'black light' flared up again, erupting at a terrifying speed and striking Su Xin's throat repeatedly.

When he stepped forward, Su Xin only then saw that the "black light" was actually a cold, black dagger.

"Shan Hai Scroll!"

Su Xin let out a fierce shout, his long sword waving, instantly drawing upon layers of profound meaning, just like the surging ocean.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

A series of clashing sounds rang out, the black light all being blocked by Su Xin.

"You actually blocked it Get out of here quickly!"

This alluring phantom turned without hesitation.

As an assassin, and a terrifyingly powerful one at that, she knew the moment she revealed her lethal strike but failed to kill her target instantly, she had lost the best opportunity to do so.

The reason I continued to pursue him just now was because I saw that Su Xin was only at the early stage of the Sea Transformation realm, and he was already heavily injured. I thought that chasing him down would be completely successful, but who knew that he would easily deflect my attack with his swordsmanship.

She naturally no longer had any attachments.

A missed attack, and immediately fled!

However...

"Can you escape"

A fierce shout erupted suddenly from Su Xin's mouth.

Buzz~~~

A hazy sword glow, suddenly blazed to life.

Like a dream, unreal!

It feels like a phantom, yet it's incredibly real.

Gliding softly through the void.

Northern Azure Swordsmanship Mirage Scroll, Second Form, Illusion Manipulation!!

"No good!"

The eerie figure, about to flee, suddenly changed countenance and slashed out with its dagger in an attempt to parry the incoming sword.

However, the hazy sword shadow made it impossible for her to grasp it at all...

Tut!

A flash of sword light passed, and a thin cut appeared on the neck of this enchanting figure. Afterwards, the figure fell down unwillingly.

The Bei Cang Sword Technique consists of three volumes: the Lei Huo Volume focuses on frontal attacks, while the Shan Hai Volume specializes in defense.

And the phantom scroll, its main speed, is also an absolute killing sword technique!

The Shadow Sword Scroll contains five techniques, the first being Darklight. With a single strike, the world seems to hold only a single ray of light.

The second form is called "Nong Ying," where the sword's shadow is hazy and illusory, impossible to grasp.

This sword technique, Su Xin had only just mastered after breaking through to the Sea Transformation Realm.

One strike, and the sword sealed his throat!

Plop!

After killing the assassin, Su Xin could no longer stand and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath heavily. Blood kept oozing from his mouth. On his chest was a horrifying wound that was extremely noticeable, with a large amount of flesh and blood already torn apart.

But luckily, in that moment of crisis, he managed to shift his body slightly, causing the dagger to miss his heart by a few points. Otherwise, with the previous blow, he would have been killed instantly.

"Thank goodness!"

"I almost died.

"

Su Xin was also a little afraid now.

And at that moment, whoosh!

A figure dashed across the night sky from the side and landed inside the courtyard. It was Su Xin's father, Su Baichen.

Su Bai was the strongest member of the Su family. Although he hadn't detected the assassin's infiltration beforehand, the moment the assassin attacked Su Xin, he immediately sensed it and rushed over at the fastest speed possible.

"This is..."

Seeing Su Bai's body lying lifeless on the ground, and Su Xin's pitiful appearance, he immediately understood what had happened.

Quickly, take this elixir.

Su Bai crouched down and hurriedly took out a white pill from his sleeve to give Su Xin.

After swallowing the pill, a strange power immediately began to work within him. Su Xin's pale face also improved slightly.

While Su Bai settled down, he began to check Su Xin's wounds.

"Well, I was only pierced by a blade and avoided vital areas. Most importantly, the blade wasn't poisoned. Su Bai also let out a breath of relief."

"Poison" Su Xin was startled.

Yes, his own body was pierced directly by the dagger. If the dagger was coated with poison, then his end...

"Your injuries are not serious. Take the pills and rest for a few days, and you'll be fine."

Su Bai got to his feet, but his gaze fell on the corpse beside him. He removed the veil, revealing the assassin's face.

"A woman" Su Xin narrowed his eyes.

She was not only a woman, but also an exceptionally alluring and beautiful one.

It was her!

The first assassin of Yongning County, Phantom!

Su Bai had already recognized the woman. "It is said that this phantom has a strange personality. Since she left the Three Killing Building, she has lived on Baishan Island and rarely interacted with the outside world. Over the years, she has hardly made a move, but this time she actually took action to assassinate you..."

Su Bai's heart was also deeply moved.

First, it's because the Shadow even dared to assassinate Su Xin.

What truly shook him to his core was that not only did Su Xin survive the assassination attempt by the Shadow, but he also killed the Shadow on the spot.

The Shadow, she's a genuine cultivator at the peak of the Sea Transformation stage. And she has killed dozens of cultivators who were also at the peak of the Sea Transformation stage. It is even said that she has assassinated even those powerful enough to shatter the Void Realm.

And Su Xin, newly entering the Hua Hai realm, was able to kill the phantom

Then, what kind of abilities would he need to possess

"This kid, the rare bloodline that awakened, really is Rank One"

"Or perhaps something even higher, a divine bloodline"

Su Bai stared at Su Xin who was tending to his injuries, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He only dared to think about divine bloodlines.

As for even higher-ranking bloodlines... those have never existed in the entire Eastern Desolation, they only belong to legends. He naturally couldn't imagine that level.

At this time, the same commotion was noticed. Su Boyong, the Great Elder of the Su family who had returned from Tianshui City, as well as some powerful cultivators of the Huhai realm from the Su family, all hurried over here.

"What is this"

Su Baiyong looked at the corpse of the phantom, and from the wound he could see at a glance that it was actually killed by a sword.

He immediately understood that it was Su Xin who had killed the Shadow.

"Grand Elder, immediately have someone dispose of this body. Make sure no one sees her wounds," Su Baichen ordered.

"Su Bo nodded."

Soon someone had the body disposed of.

"Xiner, tomorrow morning, you will move to Bishu Yuan and live there," Su Bai said.

“Bi Shui Courtyard” Su Xin’s heart skipped a beat.

Bishuiyuan, right next to the courtyard where Su Baichen lived, obviously his father was also worried that there might be other assassins trying to kill him.

Half an hour later.

In the Su family hall, all high-level members of the Su family have gathered together. They have all learned about Su Xin's assassination.

"Head of the family, we Su family absolutely cannot pretend nothing happened about this. We must retaliate!" The second elder, Su Tie Tong, known for his explosive temper, was the first to speak.

"Yes, revenge is a must!"

"Revenge them harshly!"

Despite the absence of any evidence.

In Yongning County, everyone knows who sent the ghost.

The elders of the Su family, as well as many high-ranking officials, all had a unanimous attitude: to retaliate against the Pang family fiercely!

After all, this happened inside the Su family mansion. The young master of the Su family, and the current Sword Order wielder, was assassinated...

If the Su family still endured this, they would first be laughed at by everyone in the world. From now on, anyone would dare to send people to kill the Su family!

Secondly, it will also make the Su family's own people feel disheartened.

……

The Su family was very quick. The next morning, they had already begun their retaliation against the Pang family.

This kind of retaliation is multifaceted, encompassing impacts across industries, struggles over interests, and of course, most importantly, the clash between powerful forces on both sides!

The Su and Pang families were the two most powerful families in Yongning County. While the Pang family had slightly stronger high-level combat strength, the Su family was more profound in terms of background.

The fierce battle between these two most powerful families caused a storm throughout Yongning County.

In the blink of an eye, seven days have passed.

Inside the Su family manor.

"Second Elder!"

"Greetings, Elder Masters"

Elder Su Tie, with his hands clasped behind his back, walked through the crowd. The younger generations of the Su family saw him and immediately bowed in respect, their eyes burning with a fiery passion.

"Have you heard Yesterday, in a clash between our Su family and the Pang family in the southern part of the city, we were initially at a disadvantage. But when Elder Two arrived, he not only immediately turned the tide but also with thunderous force, killed the Pang family elder who had reached the peak of the Huai Hai stage!"

"That's the peak of the Sea-Turning realm, second only to the Void-Breaking realm. Even Elder Two is only at the peak of the Sea-Turning realm, but in a one-on-one fight, Elder Two could directly kill that Patriarch Pang."

Over the past few days, nearly ten Huahhai Realm powerhouses, including Pang Jiagong, have died at the hands of the Second Elder.

There are ten now. Two days ago, Elder Two even took action personally, killing two cultivators from the Pang family who were at the peak of the Sea Transformation realm.

Some of the younger members of the Su family, including some maidservants and servants, were whispering to each other in hushed tones.

The clash between the Su and Pang families... under the premise that no powerhouse above the Void Realm would intervene, the peak of the Sea-Crushing Realm became the strongest force on both sides.

And there were only a few Supremes at the pinnacle of the Su family's Sea of Transformation. As the second elder, Su Tie Tong was the strongest, so in these past few days during the clash and struggle between the Su and Pang families, Su Tie Tong took the lead. He personally made moves time and again to kill strong members of the Pang family.

Over the past few days, a considerable number of powerful members of the Pang family have died at his hands.

In terms of results, the seven days of fighting resulted in far greater losses for the Pang family compared to the Su family. Even a peak Ocean-Melting Realm cultivator died.

Another elder appeared before the two elders.

"Su Xin"

The cycad's bronze figure finally stopped, sizing up the newcomer with a glance. “Your injuries, are they better”

"It's almost done," Su Xin smiled slightly.

He had been pierced through the body by that female assassin's dagger before. With such a grievous wound, an ordinary person would have to lie in bed for at least half a month, but he... Perhaps because of his bloodline, his recovery ability was far superior to that of ordinary people. In just three days, he was already able to get out of bed and walk.

In seven days, his condition had fully recovered to its peak.

"Second Elder, I heard that the family has been fighting with the strong from the Pang family these days. If possible, I also want to participate in the battle," Su Xin said.

"You"

"Silly!"

The copper-haired Su Tie frowned and then scolded directly.

"Su Xin, you should know that this conflict with the Pang family originated because of you. The reason they spent a fortune to hire assassins to try and kill you is because they recognized your talent and potential. Unfortunately, they failed."

"At this time, all you need to do is do your best to improve your cultivation and strength. As for the fighting outside... The Pang family would be delighted if you ran out now to fight them, that's how they could find an opportunity to kill you."

"If you want to fight for the family and clash with the powerful from the Pang family, then go for it! Wait until your strength increases, until your cultivation breaks through to the late stage of the Sea Transformation realm, when your combat power can be fearless against the peak-level Sea Transformation experts of the Pang family, and even when facing those at the Void Breaking realm, you can have a certain degree of self-preservation... Then, come find me again."

Su Xin couldn't help but smile wryly at Su Tie Tong's reprimand.

He knew Su Tie Tong's words made sense, but... he couldn't just tell Su Tie Tong that he already possessed this strength, could he And even if he did, Su Tie Tong probably wouldn't believe him.

After all, only Su Bai and the Grand Elder Su Boyong had seen the body of the female assassin, Meihang. They knew it was Su Bai who had killed her, while everyone else thought it was Su Bai's doing.

At this time, Su Tiezhong stepped forward and patted Su Xin on the shoulder, solemnly saying: "Su Xin, you must remember, you are the hope of my Su family. Only when all of us old men in the Su family have died will it be your turn, you young people, to fight for the family."

Having said that, Su Tie Tong left directly.

Su Xinze still stood there.

"The Second Elder is right, I bear the hope for the Su family's resurgence on my shoulders. My vision should be broader. If I go to fight against the powerful members of the Pang family now, even if I display my strength and kill many of their strong warriors, it wouldn't have much impact on the Pang family. Su Xin pondered."

The core of the Pang family truly lies with those who are strong in the Void Breaking Realm.

As long as the Void-Breaking Realm cannot be killed, only killing some Sea-Transformation Realm powerhouses will not shake the foundation of the Pang family at all.

"Very well, then. Let's go." Su Xin clenched his palm tightly.

Crimson Dragon Pavilion!

Two imposing black towers stood tall, with one in front of the Zhenwu Pavilion. The area was bustling with people, countless warriors at the Zhenwu realm gathered there, and from time to time, someone would enter the tower to challenge themselves.

As for the other towering black pagoda—the Dragon-Seeking Tower, it is rarely visited.

A young figure clad in black, wearing a conical hat and wielding a sharp sword, arrived at the foot of the Dragon-Seeking Tower.

I'm going to explore the Dragon Tower!
