Chu Yang was indeed confident that he could kill the Gold Roc Saint Child with a single strike, but he wasn't confident that he could deal with the black-robed man, the Seven Demon General.
When the Gold Roc Saint Child and the Seven Demon General appeared, Chu Yang sensed their auras and immediately determined their cultivation realm and strength.
Just as he thought, the Gold Roc Saint Child was about the same as the Wei Kingdom's Third Princess. They were both at the 5th level of the Soul Circulation Realm, but the Gold Roc Saint Child's aura was much more vigorous than the Wei Kingdom's Third Princess.
To Chu Yang, the most fatal one wasn't the Gold Roc Saint Child, but the Seven Demon General.
The Seven Demon General of the Thousand Devil Sect was even stronger. He was at the 6th level of the Soul Circulation Realm and was on par with the Jinyuan City's City Lord, Lady Yiyi. Without the help of the formation, he definitely wasn't a match for Lady Yiyi, and similarly, he definitely wasn't a match for the Seven Demon General.
Chu Yang was also a little apprehensive of the followers behind the Gold Roc Saint Child and the Seven Demon General. Both of their followers were at the Soul Circulation Realm, and once they burst out, they would be extremely powerful.
After various evaluations, he could confirm that if Chu Yang killed the Gold Roc Saint Child, he would very likely be surrounded and killed in the end.
This was naturally the worst case scenario.
Of course, Chu Yang also had his own plan — to kill in one strike and flee a thousand miles away!
Once he killed the Gold Roc Saint Child and obtained the black gourd in the Gold Roc Saint Child's hand, he would immediately flee.
Naturally, he would return the same way he left. Whether it was an assassination or an escape, he had to rely on the Path to Heaven.
The Path to Heaven consumed a lot of energy, and the energy consumption was directly proportional to the distance. The longer the distance, the more energy consumption. The shorter the distance, the less energy consumption.
Therefore, the location to assassinate the Gold Roc Saint Child was very specific. It couldn't be too far away, or the energy consumption would be too high; it couldn't be too close, or else it would be detected.
Chu Yang was proficient in formations and grasped the surrounding terrain very quickly. He instantly chose the location.
Assassination, where to launch the assassination?
Escape, where to flee to after the assassination.
Every single one of these was extremely intricate and needed to be carefully considered.
At this moment, he was also recalling the peerless sword that he had seen in the Assassin Martial Soul.
The ancient assassin's sword strike made no sound, nor did it cause any ripples. In the end, the assassin's aura vanished, and so did his entire person. It was as if he had broken through the void and ascended into the heavens. It was as if he had taken the void as a world of darkness and was walking within it.
That sword strike was fast, crafty, and absolute. An assassin's loyalty, bravery, and absolute determination also appeared in his mind …
However, when Chu Yang had prepared everything, just like when he was about to launch a sneak attack on the Five Elements Divine Child, he hesitated and became afraid. He thought of all the consequences of failure and all the things that he could not bear.
Fortunately, he had experience and knew that if he didn't advance, he would retreat. If he retreated, his spirit would retreat, which would have a great impact on his body.
Chu Yang also thought of everything he had done in the Five Elements Sect and Jinyuan City. What right did he have to act so recklessly and abandon all restraint?
Yes, it was because of his strength, fearlessness, and confidence. However, the main reason was probably the transformation of his spirit when he ambushed the Five Elements Divine Child.
If the heavens were unfair, he would seek justice for himself.
If he wanted to be free and unfettered, he would have to fight with others, fight with the heavens, fight with fate, and even fight with himself. If he didn't have such courage and boldness, he would have to restrain his ambitions and desires and bury them deep in his heart. He would have to compromise in the face of injustice.
If he wanted to wear the crown, he would have to bear its weight.
There was a price for everything. If he wanted to be free and unfettered, he would have to bear the consequences and pay an even greater price.
Martial arts cultivation was also going against the heavens and fighting against fate. Otherwise, how would he be able to move the clouds and rain with a flip of his hand? How would he be able to pluck the stars and moon?
The villagers in front of him and the dozens of villages that had been buried alive were also one of the reasons. When faced with such injustice and inhumane acts, they did not dare to do anything. What else could they do?
Chu Yang's determination to assassinate the Gold Roc Holy Son was soon unwavering. He no longer thought about the outcome and consequences. Now, he was only thinking about whether he should do it or not. Since he had to do it, he had to do it.
