Chapter 49: A Breakthrough and an Assassination

Translator: Whatsyourissue Editor: ICheah

Yun Yang sat with his legs folded, the Endless Divine Art running through his entire body; even when he was in a cultivating meditation, he still managed to look dangerously menacing.

Both Lao Mei and Fang Mofei who were in cultivating in their own rooms simultaneously felt something different today. It was as if the spiritual Qi they absorbed was a little different than on other days.

The spiritual Qi that was normally full of vitality did not feel right today It ruined both of their moods, their cultivation saw no improvement either.

On the top of Yun Yang’s head, his crown chakra absorbed torrents of spiritual Qi and turned it into mystical Qi before allowing the Qi to follow the Endless Divine Art into his dantian and through his meridians.

The potency of the mystical pills that he had just consumed slowly dissolved into the energy of the Endless Divine Art as the force of vitality flowed endlessly from his subconscious and nourished Yun Yang’s soil, meridians, body, and organs.

The wager rewarded by Ji Ling that he had consumed had unleashed all their potentials!

Billows of white fog popped up above his head. Slowly, the shape of a mountain formed within the mist, slowly followed by the outline of a second mountain as Yun Yang increased his intensity of absorption. The mystical Qi in his body began to flow faster and faster.

“Emmie! More! I must break through to second heaven today!”

Yun Yang urged anxiously in his heart. Emmie’s tendrils danced, giving its all to direct whatever refined mystical Qi within its control into Yun Yang’s meridians.

Gradually, Yun Yang felt his meridians began expanding as the top of his head began to twitch with anticipation.

The breakthrough was impending!

Yun Yang gritted his teeth, carelessly urging his spiritual force into a forming tide. He could wait no longer!

Yun Yang had not been impatient initially; cultivation was not something one could rush, so he had been content to strengthen his foundation. Although he knew that once Emmie leveled up, his cultivation base would also spike; although he was well aware that he could obtain the air of injustice by killing which would hasten the process to be one of the experts; he had kept himself under control.

He had allowed his accumulation to increase but more importantly, he had allowed Emmie’s accumulation to build up as well. The thicker and stronger the accumulation of foundation, the better it would be. He had restrained himself from killing as well.

These were all so that he could strengthen and solidify his foundation as much as possible before the breakthrough!

Even if his foundation was filled to the brim, he wanted to compress, condense and repeat the cycle. It was only by fortifying the foundation to the point of it being substantially stable that one could achieve unprecedented success!

Even though his prior cultivation base was not low, his foundation was not solid. Now that he got to repeat his cultivation this time, how could Yun Yang allow himself to make the same mistake? He could have tried to break through to the second peak a few days earlier but he had not done so and instead, spent the time accumulating.

However, he had to do it today.

Boom!

A concussive implosion came within his body as Yun Yang jerked in shock; all of his orifices began to leak blood. The mystical Qi within him reared its head and roared.The fog above his head was so thick it began to coagulate. Two peaks appeared like staircases within the mists.

In the rooms on the left and right of the residence, both Fang Mofei and Lao Mei opened their eyes at the same time, their gazes shining bright.y

“Young master… had a breakthrough again? How could he be so fast?”

…

As Yun Yang opened his eyes, two rays of lights burst out from them, finally released from his closed eyelids.

In the next instance, he stood up as his body turned into a cloud of mist. He then followed the breeze through the gap of the door into the courtyard, floating along the wind to rise several hundred feet away into the sky.

Mystique method of Supreme Cloud - it could only be barely triggered in the first peak but it could now be used in the second peak. Yun Yang had to break through to the second peak to be able to achieve this!

As he landed and recovered his human form, his purple robe turned pitch black. With a turn of his body, his physical shape morphed as well. Besides being black-clothed and masked, he was now well-built and physically imposing.

Then he disappeared into the night without a sound.

…

Ximen Wandai hissed in contentment as he got up from the girl under him; he was sweaty, a devilish smirk hung on his lips as he got up to wear his clothes.

The girl who had been under him had tears over her delicate face, her gaze devoid of soul as she looked upwards. Her neck was actually bloodied as she breathed with much difficulty, her face bore a look of hopelessness.

Ximen Wandai sat up with no sense of attachment as he checked his appearance in the mirror. Looking at the crimson orbs looking back, he chuckled in triumph.

“Wang Fang!”

Ximen Wandai called out.

“Your subordinate is here.”

“Come in!”

The room’s door opened, exposing the uncovered body on the bed but Ximen Wandai and his guard did not look bothered, obviously accustomed to such episodes.

“Marquis Yun’s information and activities, have you checked on them?” Ximen Wandai asked unhurriedly.

“Yes. This Marquis Yun is rushing towards Tiantang City now.”

“Has the arrangement for the assassination been made?”

“Yes, the appropriate arrangements have been made.”

“The plausibility of Young Master Yun’s master and… Have they been investigated?”

“Unfortunately, we have no information yet.”

Ximen Wandai snorted derisively and said, “The murder of Marquis Yun must be done discreetly. Watch this Young Master Yun’s reaction and see if he has any overt reaction when his blood father dies. It is only during these crises that people show their true abilities.”

“If he really is the disciple of Dugu Chou, then he would reveal the power he ought to have!”

“And if he isn’t?”

Bloodlust glinted in Ximen Wandai’s eyes. “Then we don’t have much to worry about. Whether he is or not, nobody can make me suffer such an unspeakable loss!”

“Young master’s teaching is right.”

“The setup to assassinate Marquis Yun must be covert.”

“Yes, no mistake shall be made.”

“Do away with this woman on the bed.” Ximen Wandai sighed, “The blood of women now is of such inferior quality.”

“Most of the women we could get here in Tiantang City are ordinary female citizens. Those ultimate Yin bodies with cultivation base are few and far between. Please be patient, young master; we already have a target.”

“Don’t disappoint me.” Ximen Wandai said coldly, “Wang Fang, the few of you have already disappointed me once.”

“Don’t worry, young master!”

The guard named Wang Fang immediately bundled up the girl with the bedsheet on the bed. As the girl stared helplessly, he carried her and was about to head out the window when a cloud of mist appeared silently.

A bright sliver of light shot out from the mist. Although this guard was of exceptional cultivation base, he would never have thought that he would be ambushed in his young master’s room, which was off-limits to outsiders!

Both his arms were carrying the girl so he could only retreat quickly as he felt death swirl around him. However, before he could back away, the ray of sword light had already pierced his throat like lightning.

It then disappeared immediately.

Ping!

Ximen Wandai’s reaction was as fast as lightning. When the ray of sword light had appeared, he had already broken the window and jumped off from the seventh storfinstay without a care for the guard’s life.

Only when he was midair that he shouted, “Guards! There’s an assassin!”

Ximen Wandai was confident that his reaction had been fast enough, yet just as he jumped off, he saw a muscular silhouette streak after him. Black-clothed and masked, the person’s right hand was raised high, a ray of sword light as radiant as the midday sun flared, blinding Ximen Wandai.

With a cry of surprise, Ximen Wandai’s right hand jerked up as a bright light appeared and raced toward the sword light. His body continued to fall downward, faster and faster.

Clang!

The sword light flipped upwards as the black shadow gave a dull moan; the sword in Ximen Wandai’s hand was not damaged.

“This rogue’s cultivation base is not high!”

Ximen Wandai immediately calmed down and could he could not help but feel regret. This black-clothed man’s cultivation base is obviously much weaker than mine. If I had stayed to fight, he wouldn’t have been able to do much to me! With such a weak cultivation base, I could have ended him quickly.

It’s just too bad that I’m afraid of death… cautious, rather… and jumped off from the window, jeopardizing myself instead.

At the same instant as Ximen Wandai felt relief, the glow of a short, pithy sword gleamed from the left hand of the black-clothed man, and sank into his chest.

With another shout, Ximen Wandai twisted his falling body and grasped at the sword light. The black silhouette gave yet another dull moan as Ximen Wandai realized that the fist that had come into contact with the sword edge was actually uninjured despite his expectations of being cut!

“He couldn’t even break through my defense mystical Qi!” Ximen Wandai grew even more regretful.

What was I scared of… What on earth was I running away for?

The Ximen Family’s guards had charged in from every direction. Each of them was incredibly swift, causing strong swirling winds as the entire tavern erupted into chaos.

“Seeking death!”

“Catch the assassin!”

“Protect young master!”

“Watch out for the sword!”

“Stay put!”

Rays of light and glowing lines sprung up from swords and sabers, intersecting each other in the middle of the air. They had already formed a large web, trapping the muscular black-clothed masked man in the middle.

In the midst of the bedlam, the black-clothed masked man gave a rough laugh. “Die!”

A burst of light flared from his sleeve before vanishing as quickly as it came.

Although the glow was fleeting, it was as bright as the nine suns; no one could look at it directly.

Ximen Wandai felt a cold prick on his chest before a hole appeared where his heart was, blood spurting from the wound.

“This is impossible!” Ximen Wandai looked at the hole spewing blood on his chest in shock, feeling all his energy leached out in an instant.

He could be completely safe upon landing, there was only a feet of distance left!

The black masked man obviously couldn’t penetrate my defense mystical Qi.

How could I die?

How did he do it?

These were the final thoughts that raced through Ximen Wandai’s mind as his body landed hard on the ground like a rag doll. He had already stopped breathing before he came to a stop.

He died with his eyes wide open - he had not died in peace.

The brawny black-masked man chortled, his voice hoarse as if he was trying his hardest to conceal his real voice but it still boomed like thunder. “There’s just all of you left, and you want to stop me?”

Before all the weapons that flew from every direction could reach him, he spun in the air and shattered a window with a loud crash before disappearing into the room within.

The Ximen Family’s guards charged into the room after him but only managed to startle a couple who jumped up from their bed naked and screaming.

The brawny black-masked man had entirely disappeared!
