Ling Jian followed closely behind Xiao YouHan. Ever since they entered the Hidden Dragon Abode, Ling Jian's spiritual sense had been locked onto Meng FanYun. However, Meng FanYun's peak XianTian inner qi was extremely tyrannical and his aura was perfectly integrated without a single flaw. His cultivation was probably above Shui WuBo and Yu ManLou's.
Ling Jian knew that Meng FanYun was inside and his spiritual sense had already locked onto him. However, Meng FanYun's aura was perfectly integrated with the hall and was unassailable! Even with Ling Jian's unparalleled assassination skills, it was difficult for him to find an opportunity to exploit!
But just as Xiao YouHan was about to walk out of the hall, Meng FanYun's aura suddenly became chaotic for some unknown reason. Furthermore, he was no longer able to maintain his mental state. His aura suddenly became chaotic, and it was a complete mess!
Ling Jian was overjoyed! Such an opportunity was extremely rare for Ling Jian!
One's appearance could be disguised and one's martial arts could be disguised. However, the aura of a peak expert was something that no one could disguise! Ling Jian did not know what had happened to Meng FanYun in the hall for him to become so abnormal. However, Ling Jian was not interested in finding out the reason. He only knew that this was the best opportunity to kill Meng FanYun! As long as he could kill Meng FanYun, nothing else mattered!
Ling Jian was an assassin and his mission was to assassinate Meng FanYun. Regardless of when and where, as long as he could kill Meng FanYun, Ling Jian's mission would be completed! Thus, Ling Jian did not need to think about the overall situation! Killing Meng FanYun would be the greatest help to the overall situation!
Thus, Ling Jian made a prompt decision and took action! Indeed, a single sword was effective! If not for the fact that Meng FanYun dodged quickly, his head would have already been sliced off!
As for the fact that Meng FanYun was still able to injure his vitals even after dodging his original target, it was all thanks to Ling Tian's guidance and Ling Jian's own bitter training. If not for thousands of times of training, how would he be able to strike a vitals that was not his original target?
Xiao YouHan felt as though she had been struck by lightning! Her entire body was on the verge of collapse. So the coffin man … he, he, was the First Pavilion Master!
He was actually the First Pavilion Master! How, how, how is this possible? I, I … What should I do?
The atmosphere in the surroundings was oppressive, and everyone was brimming with killing intent. However, Xiao YouHan, who was leaning against the entrance of the hall, was dumbfounded. She blushed as her eyes wandered around. She recalled how she had once complimented the First Pavilion Master in front of him and Ling Tian. She had even expressed her admiration for the First Pavilion Master …
It was so embarrassing! Xiao YouHan stomped her feet hatefully and pouted her lips. Her face was filled with anger, anxiety, and embarrassment. However, her heart was filled with joy as thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind. Amidst the flashes of blades and shadows of swords, her heart was filled with joy and embarrassment.
How should I face him? In what capacity should I face him? How should I talk to him?
This damned coffin board! Despicable, despicable, truly hateful to the extreme … Xiao YouHan couldn't help but cover her face in embarrassment. The feelings of a young girl were like a poem, a dream, and a fantasy. But now, they had come into contact with reality … Such feelings instantly filled Xiao YouHan's heart …
Shua shua shua! Forty to fifty black figures quickly formed a large circle with swords in their hands. Looking at Ling Jian, who was in the center, their eyes were filled with fear!
In the headquarters of Above Heavens, surrounded by dozens of top-notch experts, he was able to heavily injure the Sect Master of Above Heavens, who was ranked in the top five in the pugilistic world! How could an ordinary person be able to do such a thing?
This level of martial arts was akin to a ghost or a demon. No, it was far beyond a ghost or a demon!
"The lives of the people in the world are in my hands, the winds and clouds of the world, the First Pavilion! The master of the First Pavilion truly lives up to his reputation. He truly lives up to his reputation! "
Meng FanYun chuckled hoarsely and supported his shoulders. "Under such circumstances and in the headquarters of my Above Heavens, how could someone who could heavily injure me in a single strike be a nobody? Although there was some trickery involved in this attack, only the First Pavilion had such an assassination technique in the world! In the First Pavilion, only the Pavilion Master is capable of such a feat! "
He coughed twice and a trace of self-mockery could be seen in his eyes. "If every single assassin in the First Pavilion could do such a thing, then it wouldn't be called the First Pavilion!"
Ling Jian looked at the tip of his sword and said, "Are you mocking this Seat for being successful in a sneak attack?"
Meng FanYun snorted coldly and rolled his eyes. "First Pavilion Master, aren't you looking down on me too much? A victory is a victory, and a defeat is a defeat! If you don't have the ability to defend against a sneak attack, then that means you don't have the ability. If you die and lose, what face do you have to blame others? "
He suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "Back then, when I cultivated the Fiery Sun Divine Formula with the body of a virgin, my cultivation speed was extremely fast. However, I was too hasty and had already reached the third level before my primordial yang was formed at the age of fifteen! Before my third level was stabilized, I consumed the Fiery Sun Pill. In the end, my body had yet to mature and my primordial yang was unable to stabilize. My primordial yang fire surged into my seven orifices and was corroded by the fire of the primordial yang. I nearly lost my life. Master and a few senior uncles tried their best to save me and only then did I manage to preserve my life. "
No one knew what he meant and could only listen quietly.
"However, from then on, my meridians were injured. As my Fiery Sun Divine Formula progressed, the injuries to my meridians became more and more severe. In recent years, my Fiery Sun Divine Formula finally reached large success. However, the meridians that were burned by the primordial yang fire became even more difficult to control. I cultivated the primordial yang fire, but I was injured by the fire. If I wanted to recover, I only needed to disperse all my cultivation and there would be no problems. However, if I did that, I would become a complete cripple! As a disciple of Above Heavens, if I lost my martial arts, wouldn't my life be worse than death? Master once said that there would come a day when I would suffer greatly because of my meridians and even lose my life! "
Meng FanYun laughed heartily and looked straight at Ling Jian. "From the looks of it, it is indeed as I expected!"
Ling Jian smiled faintly and ignored the pile of swords beside him. He only looked at Meng FanYun with a trace of mockery in his eyes and said, "This is also a reason! You think that this is the reason why you lost! Thus, even though you say that you can accept it, your heart is still not accepting it. With your mental state, you will definitely not have the chance to climb to the peak of martial arts in this lifetime! "Ling Jian's words were like knives." Because your mental state is not worthy! "
Meng FanYun's face turned angry and he snorted, "First Pavilion Head, there is no need to talk about our different standpoints. However, this old man is very interested to know who ordered you to do this. Can you say it clearly?! "
Ling Jian sneered, "Meng FanYun, there is no need for you to waste any more time. You should know that today, you are definitely going to die! Not only you, there are many people who are going to die today. The road to the Yellow Springs is long, but there is no need to worry about loneliness on the road tonight! "
From the start, Meng FanYun knew that he had already been locked onto by the black-robed man in front of him. If he moved even the slightest bit, he would definitely be met with an earth-shattering killing intent. Thus, he did not dare to move at all. Instead, he began to talk in an attempt to quell Ling Jian's killing intent. His goal was naturally to quickly circulate the inner qi in his body. When he had the confidence to break free from Ling Jian's aura lock, he would make his move. At the very least, he had to expel the sharp sword Qi hidden in his left arm and not be at an absolute disadvantage!
While he was delaying for time, wasn't Ling Jian doing the same? If it was in the past, Ling Jian would probably not even say a single word. He would immediately kill and flee.
However, the current Ling Jian could not do that. He had to wait, wait for Ling Tian, wait for Justice to arrive.
The heavily injured Meng FanYun was already in his hands. Under his aura lock, even if Meng FanYun could escape, he would die under his sword the moment he took flight! Ling Jian had absolute confidence! Thus, Ling Jian was not in a hurry.
Another reason was that although that sword seemed casual, it was actually the culmination of Ling Jian's life's worth of cultivation! Especially after he had deviated from his target, he was still able to forcefully lock onto another vital point. Although his sword had succeeded, he had expended quite a bit of his inner qi and mental strength. With every passing second, he would be able to recover a little more. At that time, regardless of whether it was escaping or killing the enemy, he would have more confidence!
Looking at the crowd around him from the corner of his eyes, even with Ling Jian's experience and calmness, he could not help but feel a little shocked. The number of experts in this group was truly out of Ling Jian's expectations. This was especially so for the three white-haired elders in the group. Although they looked old, their eyes shone brightly and their auras were powerful. While they couldn't be compared to Meng FanYun, they weren't far off. In terms of inner qi, they were almost at the level of Shui WuBo and Yu ManLou!
It seemed like these were the three most mysterious elders of the Above Heavens inner sect! For Above Heavens to have three such experts, it was indeed worthy of being the Hidden Sect that was as famous as Beyond Heavens!
The current situation was that as long as Ling Jian made a move, he had a hundred percent confidence in killing Meng FanYun. However, he did not have a hundred percent confidence in dealing with the encirclement of so many experts! He might not even have the chance to escape!
Everyone in the hall could naturally see the situation and did not dare to make any rash moves. They were afraid that if they made a move, they would implicate the Sect Master and cause him to lose his life first.
Both sides were wary of taking action.
No, it should be only the Above Heavens members who were wary of taking action. However, Ling Jian did not do so. The reason why Ling Jian did not make a move was because the time was not right! To Ling Jian, nothing was more important than the mission given to him by Ling Tian! Including Ling Jian's own life!
Killing Meng FanYun was his mission! Ling Jian had never considered what would happen after he killed Meng FanYun!
He would think about it after killing!
There was a strange silence in the hall.
The situation was extremely delicate. If Meng FanYun could dispel the sword qi that injured him before Ling Jian made a move and recover a large portion of his strength, he would have the strength to deal with a fatal blow from Ling Jian. At that time, even if Ling Jian made a move, it would be too late. Thus, it was extremely advantageous for Ling Jian to drag things out!
However, Meng FanYun did not know that the longer he dragged things out, the more dangerous the situation would be. While he was dragging things out, how could Ling Jian not understand this logic? However, Ling Jian also needed time to wait for Ling Tian and Justice to arrive. As long as they arrived, even if Meng FanYun really recovered, what could he do?
