Boom!
There was a deafening sound.
The two spears in Meng Han's hands were stabbed into the ground heavily. Instantly, the stone slabs exploded and sand flew everywhere while mud was overturned.
He missed!
Meng Han looked at the huge pit that he had just created in front of him and was slightly dazed.
Meng Han maintained his original posture of bending over and gripping the air with both hands motionlessly as though he was holding onto two spears.
He had lost.
Meng Han's gaze dimmed gradually.
There were only two breaths of time left and Meng Han still had the strength to launch his final attack. However, he felt a deep sense of helplessness in his heart.
That was because he knew that there was no way he could kill Su Zimo within two breaths of time!
Unless …
Meng Han lowered his head and a glint flashed through the depths of his eyes before disappearing swiftly.
In the eyes of Su Zimo, Nien Qi and Night Spirit, Meng Han was like an old man who had lost his soul, frozen on the spot and helpless.
This was a rare opportunity!
Night Spirit's gaze was dark. Just as he was about to pounce forward and bite Meng Han to death, he was stopped by Su Zimo's gaze!
Night Spirit understood the stern warning in Su Zimo's eyes and did not act rashly.
Not far away, the sound of robes fluttering could be heard clearly.
The intruder had a powerful aura and was rushing over at lightning speed.
The guards of the capital were about to arrive. Furthermore, that person's cultivation should be Perfected Jin Dan as well!
Meng Han hunched his back and raised his head. His eyes were turbid and dull, as though he had aged significantly in an instant and the aura he exuded was even stronger.
"You've won."
Meng Han looked at Su Zimo quietly with a helpless tone and a self-mocking smile.
Su Zimo turned slightly and glanced at Meng Han from the corner of his eyes. He did not say anything but there was a faint smile on his lips.
"My fate is already set. Mo Ling, kill me."
Meng Han sighed deeply and closed his eyes, as if he had completely given up on resisting.
Su Zimo suddenly laughed and asked, "Do you really want me to rush up now so that you can self-destruct Jin Dan?"
Hearing this, Meng Han suddenly opened his eyes. His face was ferocious, and he finally revealed his fangs and claws.
Self-destructing Jin Dan was his final trump card.
Meng Han knew that with Su Zimo's alertness and agility, even if he used all his strength, he wouldn't be able to get close to Su Zimo in two breaths.
That was why Meng Han decided to take the risk and make a final gamble. He wanted to lure Su Zimo into his trap by pretending to be completely disheartened.
Unfortunately, Su Zimo saw through it at a glance.
A crushing defeat!
Right from the beginning, he and Liang Dan had never had the upper hand and were led by the nose by Mo Ling, a Weapon Refinement Master and a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator!
Meng Han grit his teeth hatefully and flew into a rage out of humiliation. With a deep growl, he charged towards Su Zimo.
At the same time, the Jin Dan in Meng Han's dantian spun rapidly and expanded continuously. Before long, it reached a critical point and emitted a frightening aura!
Self-destructing Jin Dan was a difficult choice for most Perfected Jin Dan cultivators.
However, Meng Han did not hesitate at all.
That was because his fate was already set.
His lifespan was almost up and even if he wasn't killed by the guards of the capital, he wouldn't be able to live for more than three years.
The moment Meng Han made his move, Su Zimo had already retreated into the distance. Sprinting the entire time, he maintained a sufficient distance from Meng Han.
"Audacious thief, how dare you!"
Right at this moment, a middle-aged man in green armor stepped through the air and roared loudly, "Brother, you're the one who's going to die.
The person wielded a gigantic hammer in each hand. He had a black face and a curly beard. His voice was rough and deafening.
"Get lost!"
The bearded man blocked Meng Han's path and glared with widened eyes. Exhaling, he threw the hammers in his hands over!
Swoosh!
The hammer arrived in an instant and smashed into Meng Han's chest!
Snap!
Meng Han's chest caved in deeply as his face turned pale. Like a kite with a broken string, he was sent flying instantly.
Meng Han's body was still in midair when the energy within his body froze and was released!
Boom!
The Golden Elixir exploded, unleashing a destructive force that swept out in all directions!
The Jin Dan was the essence of a cultivator's lifetime of cultivation.
By self-destructing the Jin Dan, it was equivalent to releasing all of one's lifetime of cultivation back into the world – how terrifying was that?
Although Su Zimo who was standing far away was already out of danger, he could still sense the terrifying aura released the moment the Jin Dan self-destructed.
Against that power, Meng Han was the first to be destroyed.
Instantly, Meng Han's body turned into a blood mist without a corpse left!
Immediately after, the gigantic hammer was sent flying back the way it came at an even faster speed with an even stronger force!
The bearded man's eyes lit up. Taking a deep breath of air, he swung his other hammer and smashed it against the incoming hammer.
Clang!
The two hammers collided!
There was an ear-piercing sound.
The bearded man's bloodline rumbled and the muscles on his arms bulged like little snakes stuck to his skin. He managed to withstand the incoming hammer with brute force and did not retreat at all!
Su Zimo nodded to himself.
This meant that the bearded man was far stronger than Meng Han!
Furthermore, it was clear from the bearded man's methods that he was a Perfected Jin Dan who was proficient in body tempering techniques as well.
The bearded man scooped up the hammers with his right hand and kept them in his storage bag.
The curly-bearded man surveyed his surroundings and frowned when he saw the messy courtyard.
Su Zimo walked over and cupped his fists. "Thank you for arriving in time to save me, sir."
"It's my duty. It's nothing."
The bearded man waved it off casually before cupping his fists casually. "I'm the commander of the Azure Falcon guards, Mu Dongqing. Greetings, Mr. Mo."
The bearded man did not bother about trifles and revealed his true nature – Su Zimo had a good impression of him.
The bearded man's gaze shifted to Liang Dan's corpse.
Liang Dan was already beaten beyond recognition by Su Zimo and his original appearance could not be recognized.
The bearded man squatted down and searched Liang Dan's body. After finding nothing, he took down the latter's storage bag and took a look before shaking his head.
The bearded man said, "Just Now, that person has already self-destructed and there's nothing left of his corpse. There's nothing on him and the storage bag is filled with useless items that can't prove his identity."
Su Zimo smiled without saying anything.
Two Perfected Jin Dan who were nearing the end of their lifespans were mobilized for this assassination – it was clear that this was the result of meticulous planning.
Since the other party chose to carry out the assassination in the capital of Great Zhou, they must have made preparations beforehand. Even if they failed, their identities would not be exposed.
However, there was only one place in the entire capital that was hostile or even murderous towards Su Zimo and had the ability to mobilize two Perfected Jin Dan to take action.
