Chapter 327.

Within the mist-filled space, the gazes of all the figures were all focused on this figure that had fallen into silence.

Within the line of sight, there was an unexplainable meaning.

Even some ordinary Heaven Ascension Realm figures, at this moment, there was a flavor of gloating hidden in the depths of their gazes.

After roughly nearly half an hour of effort, the figure that was being watched let out a shrill voice, like the feeling of scraping with one’s fingernails on a wall, causing one’s eardrums to ache just listening to it.

“If I die, then I am dead, having survived for so long, you want me to be the first one to go out as cannon fodder, do you think it’s possible?”

When this figure said these words, it didn’t continue on to the next.

But the meaning was already particularly obvious, that is, it was unwilling.

The tallest this figure didn’t have any thought after hearing this, and directly said, “There are risks, but there are benefits, the one who goes out first, occupies the first opportunity, and the one who goes out later, even though they are going to be safe, they will ultimately be shortcomings, it depends on how you think about it.”

“If you don’t want to go out, then I’ll just change someone else, if there isn’t anyone willing to go out, then I’ll go out myself.”

“I just think you’re safer because you’re good at hiding.”

The words had come to this point, what should be said and what shouldn’t be said had been made clear.

This tallest figure felt that there was no need for him to continue speaking.

The subsequent decision would depend on what the other party thought.

Soon, this misty space fell into absolute silence as everyone waited for a reply.

In fact, the many people of the Hundred Kingdoms Battle knew that it was quite difficult to make a choice, especially a choice in this current situation.

Not to mention anything else, just the choice between life and death would be able to deter many people.

So they were also waiting.

After another roughly half a pillar of incense, the figure continued to emit a sharp voice.

“Alright, I’ll go, and if I can escape, I will definitely do everything I can to find your location and rescue you.”

With this reply, the numerous figures in the mists finally let out a long breath, as if they had completely relaxed.

A moment later, the mists were gradually dissipating.

And this figure that had just agreed, was also in the mists, gradually revealing its true form.

This was a man who was only about one meter five, wearing a black robe all over his body, without two or two pieces of meat on his face.

A long beard that trailed down to his chest.

From the face, it was as if it was a rat in human form, with the cunning of a rat.

However, no one present dared to underestimate it, the reason being this person’s origin.

In the Hundred Kingdoms Battle, within the fifteen peak Ascension Realm experts that remained until now, this short man in front of him, who looked like a mouse, was the most difficult to deal with.

It was because his nickname was Assassination Star.

The so-called Assassination Star was a line of work that was proficient in stealth and assassination.

Perhaps not good at frontal combat, but once he was in his thoughts, even a peak Ascension Realm expert of the same level would find it quite a headache.

It was also because of this ability that he was arranged to be the first to go out.

Assassination Star looked around and did not speak again, after making his decision, he patiently waited for the next fishhook to descend.

Soon, this misty space was, once again, covered by thick mists, and it was impossible to see the real situation inside clearly.

What happened over here, Zhou An naturally did not know.

Because at this moment, Zhou An was immersed in the state of Liver Proficiency.

He didn’t care about anything else right now, he was just livering the Xuan Shadow Kill skill.

And next to him, Black Jade was also fusing the Eight Extreme Skills.

The Xuan Shadow Kill’s proficiency was dawdling upwards.

Zhou An’s current intention, which was actually quite simple, was to first liver Xuan Shadow Kill until it became qualitatively different, and then use the stored proficiency to improve other skills while perhaps trying to develop new skills.

As for what new skills to develop, to be honest, the current Zhou An did not have an eye on it yet, so it could only be determined.

The night passed quickly.

When the next day came, Zhou An got up early as usual, and then took Black Jade with him, and headed to Eunuch Wei’s location.

Fishing is something that should be done before it’s too late. Zhou An also thought that after fishing out one or two of those remaining fugitives from the Hundred Kingdoms Battle, he would go back to his liver proficiency again, which is what he should do.

On this journey, familiar with the road, Zhou An also saw the surrounding scenery.

Nowadays, after a lot of reconstruction work, this land that had been divided into the Great Chu Kingdom had long since become prosperous.

For the people, they didn’t care who was the emperor these days, as long as the days could be lived properly, there wouldn’t be any huge storms.

Even if it was replaced with a small child sitting in the dragon chair, they were still casual.

Especially now, both the Da Chu Kingdom and the Da Yue Kingdom were still treating the people very well, so these remnants of the Da Qi Kingdom were, in turn, more supportive of the change in the two countries.

In the middle of the journey, Zhou An ate a meal on the side of the road, and that was how he successfully arrived at the residence of Eunuch Wei and the others.

It was like this every day, so when Zhou An arrived, Eunuch Wei and the others, as well as the Far West King of the Great Yue Country, had already been waiting here for a long time.

After all, they were going to deal with the remnants of the Battle of the Hundred Kingdoms, and they were still being hooked out by way of a fishhook, and they couldn’t even be killed yet, so everyone was maintaining a cautious attitude.

After Eunuch Wei saw Zhou An arrive, he first poured a cup of tea and greeted Zhou An, “Sit down, drink up and we’ll start again.”

Zhou An was a self-taught person, very naturally, sitting next to him and taking a light sip.

The current scene, for many Jianghu people, might be like a dream.

Because a bunch of bigwigs, gathered in a circle, drinking tea here, this scenery is something that many people dare not even think about.

Only Zhou An was very relaxed.

During the tea drinking, Zhou An still asked a couple of questions.

“Eunuch Wei, the thing I asked you to look into before, is there any news?”

What matter was being investigated was clear to everyone, it was the bunch of guys from other worlds that they had encountered earlier.

For this news, Zhou An was indeed most interested, after all, when he was in the hole under the water last time, he had already sort of finished offending the other side.

Since they had all been offended and were enemies, Zhou An certainly didn’t mind gathering information to deal with it.

Eunuch Wei sniffed, then shook his head, “No news has been found out yet.”

He also did not care that there were people from the Great Yue Country.

Nowadays, the two countries weren’t as antagonistic as one would think, but instead, because of the battle between the Barbarian Kingdom and the Hundred Kingdoms and this recent incident, it had become as if they were standing on the same rope as grasshoppers.

So the intelligence that should be there, they also shared.

The King of the Far West smashed his mouth beside him, seemingly finding the tea unappetizing, and set it aside, “This king feels that this matter should be investigated slowly, and the recent matter should be resolved first.”

Zhou An nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.

Those things of the other world were estimated to still be some distance away, and the most important thing at the moment was to settle the remnants of the battle between the Barbarian Kingdom and the Hundred Kingdoms.

Otherwise, if the people outside were to come, and one’s side was still engaged in a civil war, that would be the biggest headache.

After a cup of tea was consumed, Zhou An didn’t pause, he had to hurry, so he took out a fishing rod and fishing line from the pink money bag.

He traditionally fishes without bait, casually and lightly throwing the rod, the fish hook holding the fishing line, then entered the crack in front of him.

When the crowd saw this situation, they all held their breath and waited patiently.

Although everyone looked calm, they were actually very cautious.

After all, this was no small matter.

Zhou An was the most calm one.

He held the fishing rod tightly with both hands, just like an experienced fisherman, waiting very patiently.

Time gradually passed, and in the blink of an eye, nearly an incense stick of time had passed.

Zhou An suddenly felt that the fish hook shook.

This trembling extended all the way down the fishing line, all the way up to the fishing rod, and it carried a terrifying aura on it.

Recently, Zhou An had fished a lot and had gradually gained a sense.

He knew that the amplitude of this shaking, the more violent it was, proved that the thing caught was also the more terrifying.

“This current situation, it’s even more violent than the previous times combined, it seems to be a big one.”

Thinking about this, Zhou An turned his head and looked at Eunuch Wei, giving a wink.

“Eunuch Wei, this is a big fish, exceptionally big.”

Without having to explain too much, with just this one sentence, the people present, understood.

Recently, the ones that had been fished out were all ordinary Ascension Realm experts.

Now it was said that a particularly large fish had come, so just how large it was, it would only be at the level of the Peak Ascension Realm.

To be honest, after fishing for such a long time, they had never caught a fish of this level, and now that they had suddenly caught one, the people present were still a bit excited.

It was said that experts were lonely, and at their level, they actually rarely struck out.

Can’t just run over and find someone to fight once or twice a day when there’s nothing to do, not only does this offend people, but it’s also easy to be treated as a psychopath.

So having this opportunity, and even being able to strike out in passing, was also a good deal for people like them.

“All get ready.” Eunuch Wei waved his hand.

The crowd nodded, and then with a guarded face, they waited patiently on the side.

The amplitude of the shaking of the fishing rod gradually deepened.

A few moments later, a man with a short stature drilled out from the crack, holding the fish hook tightly in his hand.

This appearance was as if it wasn’t the fishhook that had caught him, but he himself wanted to come out.

Assassination Star’s entire being was confused.

To be honest, he had experienced far too much during his rise from the Battle of the Hundred Kingdoms to the current years.

He had witnessed the rise of many geniuses and the fall of many heavenly prides, and he had even utilized his own set of assassination techniques to kill quite a few experts.

There were experts that were even stronger than him.

But he really didn’t expect that what awaited him outside the rift was the scene before him.

Assassination Star had already thought at that time that if there were two or three people of the same level, he would immediately use his ability to escape.

For this, he was very relieved.

After all, even in their era, those who were proficient in assassination were extremely rare.

However, he never expected that there were simply not just two, but a whole bunch of Peak Ascension Realms out there.

Especially when he came out, the other party’s eyes looked as if they wanted to flay him alive.

Assassination Star knew in just an instant that he had been pitched, and it was a huge pit.

Of course, at this moment when the situation was in crisis, he did not have time to make a detailed plan, his figure shook for a while, and immediately afterward, he unexpectedly disappeared in mid-air as if he had never appeared.

Run!

Now can only run, there is not a little bit of possibility and opportunity for victory.

The people on the opposite side were not only many, but also strong, he was even able to see, the killing aura in the other side’s eyes.

Staying here would be a death sooner or later.

However, while escaping, Assassination Star swept a glance around in passing, and immediately understood what exactly was happening outside.

Here, there were people lying on the ground, all of them from their Hundred Kingdoms Battle.

Not dead, just lying on the ground, looking around with gloating eyes.

And Assassination Star saw just who had fished him out.

It was a young man, who was currently holding a fishing rod in his hand, like an old-fashioned angler.

In Assassination Star’s eyes, a hint of murderous aura flowed out, which happened to be directed at Zhou An.

So many of his companions had suffered such misery because of such a fishing rod.

The culprit should be this young man.

“When I escape with my life and find the opportunity to assassinate him, I will be considered to have avenged everyone.”

With such thoughts in mind, Assassination Star prepared to leave this room quietly and without a trace as his figure disappeared.

Surrounded by the barriers set up by all the Peak Ascension Realm experts present, it was reasonable that even a Peak Ascension Realm wouldn’t be able to get out.

But Assassin Star was different.

That was the nature of his profession.

Escape and concealment, as well as assassination, were what he was best at.

On the contrary, he couldn’t defeat any expert of the same level.

So even though there were these barriers around him, it was as if they weren’t there for him.

Assassination Star hid his figure, and by now, he had gotten closer and closer.

Eunuch Wei and the others were also frozen by the scene in front of them.

They were not expecting that the other party would disappear as soon as they appeared, and it seemed like there was something that was penetrating their barrier.

But if one were to really turn their heads and look, they couldn’t see a single person.

This was a particularly evil situation.

“I’ve heard that there is a long lost trade.”

The Prime Minister stroked his beard with his hand and slowly said, “The name is Assassin, which evolved from the assassin line, specializing in hiding and escaping, tracking as well as assassination, and just now, this guy, should be the Assassin who specializes in escaping and assassination.”

As the words fell, the Prime Minister struck out at the surroundings in succession.

Powerful words, which were waved as he struck out, began to attack indiscriminately.

This way of his caused the peak Ascension Realm experts around him to react as well.

In this situation now, it was absolutely impossible to let the other party escape.

If the other party was allowed to escape, it was only to be feared that all subsequent plans would be disrupted.

After all, that was a peak Ascension realm expert.

In case he really escaped and was good at hiding, when he found out where the remnants of the Battle of the Hundred Kingdoms were located, I was afraid that they would be the ones who would be injured.

So this approach of the Prime Minister’s was actually the simplest and plainest approach.

That is an indiscriminate coverage attack.

No matter how you hide, I can always hit.

Thinking of this, the crowd no longer hesitated and started attacking without discrimination.

At this moment, Assassination Star had already reached the edge of this barrier and was preparing to escape from here.

However, after seeing the most terrifying undifferentiated attacks around him, Assassination Star only felt his body sweating.

There were too many and too frequent of these attacks, and if there was only one, he might be able to dodge them by all means.

But now there were too many people, and trying to dodge them was even harder than climbing up to heaven.

All around him, there was an ocean of attacks, and as long as he moved one step, he would be caught up.

After seeing this scene, Assassination Star only felt cold sweat cover his forehead.

It was good that he was still in control and didn’t let his figure be exposed.

As a peak Ascension Realm powerhouse and one who had survived back from the time of the Battle of the Hundred Kingdoms, his combat experience was also extremely rich.

In just an instant, Assassination Star had a new idea.

Although the surroundings were densely packed with attacks, there was only one place that had not been attacked, and that was Zhou An’s position.

Eunuch Wei and the others had also taken Zhou An into consideration, so they had vacated a safe area around Zhou An.

Without hesitation and without saying a word, Assassination Star directly moved in a prancing motion and came to hide behind Zhou An using his concealment kung fu.

The surrounding attacks came in an instant, but they did not injure him in the slightest.

A moment later, the attacks dissipated.

When Eunuch Wei saw this, his brows furrowed, “Escaped?”

The crowd glanced at each other and seemed to think that it had escaped as well.

“If that’s the case, then there’s big trouble.” The Chief Minister said as he stroked the Cold Ice Flame Gun in his hand.

The crowd fell into a kind of silence.

They were also clear that if they really let someone escape and it was a Peak Ascension Realm assassin, then things would be really big.

The people present fell into silence, and Zhou An was the only one who narrowed his eyes.

He sensed a hint of something wrong.

The moment the other party appeared, although they had already hidden their tracks long ago, they did not go far.

This was because everyone here, their reactions were also extremely fast.

“If the other party really ran away, it shouldn’t have been this fast.”

Zhou An guessed that the other party was most likely hiding.

As for which place it was hiding in, then there was a lot to be said here.

Assassination Star hid beside Zhou An and only felt the sweat on his forehead growing.

He didn’t escape immediately because the barrier around him hadn’t been removed.

Even if he was proficient at hiding, as long as he touched the barrier, his opponent would be able to sense it and attack again.

At that time, if he were to hide once more, hiding next to Zhou An, he was afraid that he would be easily exposed.

That was why Assassination Star was also waiting, waiting for the barrier around him to disappear, and then he would find a chance to quickly leave.

At that time, he would come back to take this revenge.

After all, he was a proficient assassin.

As the person who was most familiar with Zhou An, Eunuch Wei knew Zhou An the best.

With ease, he sensed the change in Zhou An’s mood and turned his head to look at Zhou An, asking, “What’s wrong?”

Zhou An frowned and walked back and forth.

As he walked, Assassination Star, who was hiding in the shadows, had been following silently.

Assassination Star was now scared, he was afraid that the other party would come back again, he also saw that the most valuable person here was Zhou An, so he wanted to stay here with Zhou An and stay safe.

After walking slightly, Zhou An then stopped and suddenly raised his head, making a look.

This look, Assassination Star could not see because Zhou An was facing Eunuch Wei to make it.

When Eunuch Wei saw Zhou An’s look, his expression did not change in any way, but he suddenly made a movement.

Only to see Eunuch Wei extend his arm, grab Zhou An’s shoulder and quickly mention it next to himself.

And after this action was made, the Assassination Star, who was hiding at the side, instantly, understood the fact that he had been exposed.

At this moment, as a remnant of the Battle of the Hundred Kingdoms with extremely rich combat experience, and a peak Ascension Realm expert, Assassination Star did not hesitate to strike.

Two short thorns that were only the length of his palm appeared in his hands, and he lunged towards Zhou An, his figure revealing itself in an instant.

In this place, Zhou An was the only one who was weaker.

He had to grab Zhou An to subdue him, and perhaps be able to coerce Zhou An to take him away.

Even if Eunuch Wei’s strike was extremely fast, and even if Zhou An’s reaction was also extremely fast, Assassination Star believed that with this strike of his own, he would definitely be able to subdue Zhou An in an instant.

At that time, he would be able to leave quietly and even get rid of this expert who could fish.

However, just as Assassination Star was about to approach in front of Zhou An, Zhou An revealed an odd smile at him.

Assassination Star was slightly stunned, and immediately afterward, he felt an extremely familiar aura that flowed around him.

Zhou An’s figure, unexpectedly, gradually disappeared before his eyes, blending into the shadows on the ground.

“This is Assassin’s tactic!”

Assassin Star instantly reacted.

If it were usual, with this kind of ability from Zhou An, he would be able to react quickly and catch it.

But now at this time, Zhou An suddenly used this ability to instantly disappear into nothingness, which was very capable of producing change in such a moment of crisis.

Especially between life and death, it was such a split second of effort that the Assassination Star lost its target.

And Eunuch Wei’s palm, carrying a sky full of Yin Qi, printed on Assassination Star’s chest.

Assassination Star only felt a sharp pain in his chest, and immediately afterward, the person flew out backwards and landed on the ground.

By the time he reacted again, the Peak Ascension Realm experts around him had already surrounded all of him.

At that moment, Zhou An’s figure, surfaced not far in front of Assassination Star, with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.

As Assassination Star looked at Zhou An’s smile, his heart turned cold, already knowing that he had become a turtle in a jar at this moment.

Who knew that before he could say anything, the smile on Zhou An’s face transformed into a sinister expression as he suddenly uttered.

“Seniors, I think I have a way to speed up the progress, so that all those peak Ascension Realm experts will come out from inside.”

“At that time, we will be able to secure our victory if we directly send our troops to the Barbarian Kingdom.”

The crowd heard this and cast their eyes in front of Zhou An.

While Zhou An came next to Assassination Star, who looked up and down, he slowly spoke in an icy tone.

“Want to live? Then cooperate.”

(Transition, I’m going to pick up the pace)
