Inside the Quiet Thoughts Pavilion.
"Autumn's Intent!"
After closing in on the assassin, Yu Haoran shouted in a low voice. Then, he used the [Light Wind Palm] that he had just reached the Large Success Stage of the [Wind Steps]!
The [Light Wind Palm] was a martial skill at the peak of the ninth grade of the Yellow Rank. It was the first martial skill that his previous life's sect had recommended to him after he had mastered the [Barbaric Bull Fist] to the Great Perfection stage.
The Light Wind Palm was a wind attribute palm technique that used the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter as its concept. It was infused with the unique wind of the four seasons as its foundation.
Every move, every palm strike, contained the unique power of the wind during the four seasons.
When his master had recommended the Light Wind Palm to him, he had told him that the Light Wind Palm technique that the sect had collected was actually incomplete. Its true rank was definitely higher than ninth grade Yellow class.
If he could integrate all the wind attribute palm techniques of the four seasons, its rank would definitely surpass the Yellow class. As for what rank it would reach, he would only know after it was fully integrated.
After his Barbaric Bull Fist Technique reached perfection, Yu Haoran had chosen this palm technique not only because of his master, but also because he wanted to further his understanding of the Light Wind Palm. He wanted to see if he could integrate this palm technique.
If he could achieve what his master had said, then not only would his palm technique's power increase, it would also have a special meaning for him.
The Autumn's Intent turned the assassin, who had intended to use his poison sword to block, into the autumn wind.
The autumn wind, in addition to being cold, also contained a bone-chilling intent.
"Ah …!"
Although the poison sword in his hand had successfully blocked many of the Wind Palms, the pervasive Wind Palms still broke through the poison sword's defense. One after another, the Wind Palms struck, sliced, and slashed his body.
In less than three seconds, the assassins, who were originally dressed in colorful clothes, were not only tattered, but their bloody flesh and bones were also exposed under their tattered clothes.
Taking advantage of the fact that the assassin was heavily injured and unable to focus, Lin Fan threw a simple heavy punch towards the assassin's head.
Just as the heavy punch was about to land on the assassin's head, a black shadow suddenly appeared from the flower bush that the assassin had been hiding in.
Faced with the second wave of assassinations, Yu Haoran was not surprised or panicked at all.
His instincts as a peak Martial Emperor had allowed him to discover the second assassin hiding in the flowers. Even if he hadn't discovered the second assassin, Thaling, who possessed the Law of Time and could use Divine Thoughts, would have informed him in advance.
"Piercing Cold Wind!"
With a soft roar, the heavy fist that was originally aimed at the first assassin instantly turned into a palm technique. A cold palm wind that caused people to feel a chill ran down their spines. After destroying the first assassin's life force, the remaining power of the palm wind went straight for the second assassin.
Compared to the first assassin, who was a ninth grade Martial Disciple, the second assassin's strength had already reached the first grade of Martial Warrior. His strength was many times stronger than the first assassin's.
When the second assassin sensed the chill in the palm wind, he didn't recklessly block it. Instead, he used the assassin's unique movement technique to dodge.
Unfortunately, he had underestimated the power of the bone-piercing cold wind, and did not know the unique attribute of the cold wind.
After barely dodging three palm winds, the fourth palm wind ruthlessly slammed into his shoulder, causing his originally nimble movement technique to suddenly become sluggish.
Following that, several palm winds consecutively slammed into his chest, abdomen, and various other vital points on his body. This elite assassin, who was a first grade Martial Warrior and had successfully assassinated a ninth grade Martial Warrior, didn't even have the chance to get close to Yu Haoran before he was slapped to death by the palm winds.
After using the Piercing Cold Wind to kill the second assassin, Yu Haoran didn't relax in the slightest.
Using the speed of Gale Steps, he appeared not far from the flowers in a flash. If one wanted to enter the pavilion, they would have to pass through the fruit rack.
Facing the empty fruit rack, Yu Haoran directly used the Berserk Bull Fist Technique that had reached perfection. "Raging Bull Rush!"
The Raging Bull Rush, which contained elemental energy, formed a white bull's head that couldn't be seen with the naked eye.
The white bull's head roared towards the sky, and then directly crashed into the fruit rack.
"Pu!"
Following the destruction of the fruit rack, the sound of someone vomiting blood could be heard. A young man wearing a green robe fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.
After killing the third assassin, Yu Haoran still didn't relax. He continued to use Gale Steps, and in a flash, he appeared in front of the pond that was only five meters away from the pavilion.
"Violent Storm!"
A Gentle Wind Palm that contained the concept of summer directly slammed into the calm pond.
The wind created by the Violent Storm directly stirred up the calm pond, causing the originally clear pond water to instantly become turbid.
At the same time, some of the fish in the pond were also swept up by the wind created by the Violent Storm.
Five seconds later, the wind from the Violent Storm disappeared, and the pond returned to its original calm state.
On the calm surface of the pond, in addition to the corpses of dozens of precious fish, there was also a martial artist wearing a black robe with his face facing down.
Seeing the martial artist in black floating on the surface of the pond, Yu Haoran couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. In his heart, he sincerely admired the First Elder's methods. He also had a new understanding of the First Elder's madness.
No wonder!
No wonder when he first went to find the Ninth Elder, the Ninth Elder's evaluation of the First Elder was that the First Elder was the most meticulous and crazy person he had ever met in his life. He was the person he didn't want to offend the most.
Now, it seemed that the Ninth Elder's fear wasn't without reason.
As the saying goes, once, twice, but not thrice!
If one was ambushed consecutively, most people would mistakenly think that there would only be two ambushes at most. If the second ambush failed, then it meant that the ambush had failed.
At this time, the ambushed person's mind would start to relax, and their vigilance would decrease.
If another ambush was arranged at this time, and it was the strongest ambush out of the three, the success rate would be close to eighty percent.
If the first three ambushes failed, then the ambushed person would basically think that they were absolutely safe. Not only would they not be vigilant of their surroundings, but their own defense would also be at its lowest.
At this time, the success rate of the ambush was close to ninety-nine percent.
Originally, Yu Haoran had made this common sense mistake. He thought that after killing the assassin hiding in the fruit rack, the First Elder's ambush would be over.
However, the Thaling who had been searching with his divine sense told him that there was a third grade Martial Warrior assassin hiding in the pond not far from the Wind Pavilion. That was why the previous scene had occurred.
In fact, if the assassin hiding in the pond had chosen to attack directly, although Yu Haoran was confident that he could kill him, it wouldn't be as easy as it was now. He would need to use at least ninety percent of his strength, and at least five moves before he could defeat him.
If he wanted to kill the assassin, he would need at least ten moves.
At the same time, he also began to blame himself. He blamed himself for being overconfident. He was confident that with the Zijin Manor and the secret of the crown prince's wife, he would be able to make the First Elder hesitate and not easily deal with him.
However, he forgot that when a person was afraid, they might hesitate to attack, but it was also more likely that they would fall into madness.
If a person fell into madness, they would definitely resort to all kinds of means to do things.
Right now, the First Elder was very likely to have fallen into madness.
Or perhaps, the First Elder didn't believe that Yu Haoran had the means to reveal the secret, so the target of the ambush was Yu Haoran.
