Ye Ziwei wasn't afraid of the two Mid Emperor assassins at all. Lightning bolts shot out from her body towards the two assassins.
However, the assassins' target was Long Yu, not Ye Ziwei!
One of the black-robed assassins raised his hand and directly condensed a Gale Shield, forcefully blocking the lightning that filled the sky. The other black-robed assassin's figure flashed, and he actually used Spatial Attribute Divine Runes to attack Long Yu.
Life or death was decided in this moment!
However, the black-clothed assassin had underestimated Ye Ziwei. A violent bolt of purple lightning suddenly descended from the sky, directly smashing into the black-clothed assassin's body. He was sent flying heavily, and his clothes became incomparably charred.
This bolt of purple lightning directly injured the black-clothed assassin!
"It's the King Dao, the true King Dao."
When this bolt of purple lightning descended from the sky, the might that gushed out from it directly caused Long Yu to tremble. This was definitely not something that any Divine Ability could compare to. Even a high level Divine Ability of the Ninth Heavenly Layer would not be able to possess such might.
Only the King Dao!
"Seems like there are still people who have mastered innate skills to the King Dao level. It may be difficult, but it's not impossible for geniuses."
A single King Dao was enough to heavily injure a Mid Emperor, it was a testament to the power of the King Dao.
The highest level of innate skill Long Yu had mastered was only a seventh level high tier skill. There was still a long way to go before he could break through to the King Dao.
Lightning bolts swept across the skies, turning the surroundings into a living hell. Long Yu had long since retreated far away.
It was at this moment, two Late Emperor assassins appeared from the Lost Forest behind him and charged at Long Yu at the same time.
A Late Emperor assassin was a pillar of strength even in this assassin organization. For them to send two Late Emperor assassins just to deal with a mere Transcendent Secret Realm brat like Long Yu, it was clear how much importance the assassin organization placed on Long Yu.
It was also clear that the assassin organization knew that Long Yu had hired Ye Ziwei and Tian Xiang Empress to escort him. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent so many assassins.
But to Long Yu, the appearance of these two Late Emperor assassins was within his expectations.
Before the two assassins could even get close, a golden light bloomed in front of them and a giant golden palm appeared out of thin air. With a single slap, the two assassins were sent crashing into the ground, creating a crater a few miles wide in the Lost Forest.
A single strike from Tian Xiang Empress!
"Kill!"
Tian Xiang Empress' silhouette flickered in and out of sight. No one knew where she would appear, but in the next moment, she was already charging towards the two assassins.
They were Late Emperor assassins after all. Their physical strength was terrifying, but they didn't die from a single slap from Tian Xiang Empress. It was only a matter of time before Tian Xiang Empress caught up to them.
But just as the Empress was about to make her move, three more Late Emperor assassins appeared from three different directions. The three assassins were working together to kill the Empress.
A suppressive spell formation rose from the Lost Forest and trapped the Heavenly Fragrance Emperor within it!
"The Dark Shadow Pavilion's Soul Locking Formation. It seems that the entire Dark Shadow Pavilion has come out to deal with a mere Long Yu. What a surprise."
The Fragrant Empress was instantly trapped in the Soul Locking Formation, unable to move at all. Similarly, the three Late-stage Soul Emperors who were trapping her were also unable to move.
With three top-notch assassins trapping the Empress, it would be much easier to deal with Long Yu.
"Long Yu, the Dark Shadow Pavilion has a total of seven top-notch assassins. Five of them have already appeared. Three of them have used the Soul Locking Formation to trap me, and the other two have already been injured by me … This means that there are two more top-notch assassins hiding in the shadows!"
Tian Xiang Empress' voice rang in Long Yu's mind. "The Soul Locking Formation is very powerful. Even I can't break free from it in a short time. It seems that the backup plan you've prepared will come in handy …"
Indeed, Long Yu had delayed his departure by half a day to give the assassins time to prepare.
If that was the case, how could he not be prepared?
"If that's the case, it's about time. Senior Heng Yi, Senior Zhan Tianyuan, it's about time for you two to appear."
Hearing Tian Xiang Empress' voice transmission, Long Yu knew that it was about time. With a snap of his fingers, two Late Emperor realm cultivators descended from the sky. They were the Dragon Returning Empire's Prime Minister Heng Yi and General Zhan Tianyuan!
The Dark Shadow Pavilion was one of the top-notch assassin organizations of Shen Wu world. With seven Late Emperor realm assassins, they had more Late Emperor cultivators than the entire Dragon Returning Empire had.
The only ones Long Yu could summon were Heng Yi and Zhan Tianyuan.
"I thought I'd be able to earn a million shenbi for this trip, but I didn't expect to run into the Dark Shadow Pavilion. How unlucky"
General Zhan Tianyuan cursed. He wasn't happy about the Dark Shadow Pavilion's appearance.
Long Yu hired him and Heng Yi for a million shenbi each to escort him to the base of the Winged God Tribe's hideouts. The two of them thought that this would be a good job, but they didn't expect to run into the Dark Shadow Pavilion!
Fortunately, Tian Xiang Empress managed to heavily injure two top-notch assassins and stall the other three, leaving only two top-notch assassins from the Dark Shadow Pavilion for Heng Yi and Zhan Tianyuan.
"Since the Dark Shadow Pavilion is going all out, we won't give you any chance …"
An eerie voice resounded in the air. Then, a flash of a blade appeared in front of Long Yu!
"Is that so?"
Long Yu wasn't afraid at all. Before the flash of blade could reach him, the Dragon Returning Empire's Prime Minister Heng Yi raised his hand and released a barrier of Radiant Divine Runes to block the flash of blade.
Then, a golden sun appeared above Prime Minister Heng Yi's head. The brilliant golden light illuminated the surroundings, revealing the darkness within a hundred miles radius.
Two invisible figures wearing black cloaks suddenly appeared in front of everyone. One of them was holding a black longsword. It was this person who launched the attack on Long Yu just now.
As for the other black shadow, it was about to launch a sneak attack on Long Yu from another direction, but it was directly illuminated by the golden sun. Then, Great General Zhan Tianyuan went up to meet it. Countless sword lights flew out from his body, and they actually contained the power of four different types of divine characters!
"Space, Fire, Ice, and Berserk!"
Long Yu was already prepared for this, but he was still shocked. The foundation of a Late-stage Emperor was indeed terrifying. From the moment one stepped into the Imperial Path Secret Realm, one would be able to comprehend the divine runes of all eight attributes. However, those who could comprehend multiple attributes were few and far between.
Not only was it difficult to find treasures that could increase the compatibility of attributes, but the divine runes of each attribute were also different. After comprehending the first type of divine rune, it would take a long time to comprehend the other attributes.
This was especially true when it came to comprehending the third and fourth types.
But now, a general of the Dragonreturn Empire was able to use four different divine runes, and this might not even be all of them.
"In that case, how many divine characters did an expert like the Heavenly Fragrance Emperor comprehend?"
Long Yu found it hard to imagine. If someone were to tell him that the Empress had comprehended all eight divine runes, he would believe it without hesitation. Just because she was an elder of the Alliance of Five Emperors!
In the next moment, the power of the divine runes wrapped around Long Yu. This was a defensive barrier created by Zhan Tianyuan and Heng Yi. Only a Late-stage Emperor would be able to destroy this barrier.
Many experts were caught in the middle of a fierce battle.
Long Yu looked to the east and could vaguely see lightning flashes. Ye Ziwei was fighting two Mid-stage Emperor assassins in black.
Below, the Lost Forest was a thick black fog controlled by three top assassins in black. It was the Dark Shadow Pavilion's Soul Locking Array. The Heavenly Fragrance Emperor was trapped in the Soul Locking Array.
Golden lights could be seen constantly flashing in the black fog where the Soul Locking Array was located. It was evident that the Heavenly Fragrance Emperor was trying his best to break through the Soul Locking Array.
Several kilometers above the Soul Locking Array was Long Yu, who was protected by a spatial barrier. Around him, the power of divine characters continuously erupted. Heng Yi and Zhan Tianyuan were engaged in a fierce battle with the other two black-cloaked assassins.
A battle between Late Emperor Realm experts wasn't something that could be easily witnessed. Long Yu was the target of this assassination, but he wasn't worried about his own safety at all. Instead, he was watching the battle with great interest.
Unfortunately, the strength of Emperor Realm experts was too strong, and they were incomparably nimble. Long Yu couldn't understand the battle between experts of this level.
It didn't take long for him to notice that the two top-notch assassins who were injured by the Empress had stood up and were looking at Long Yu.
Although they were injured, they had recovered a small portion of their strength. With their Late-stage Emperor strength, they could easily kill Long Yu!
However, just as the two of them were about to fly towards Long Yu, another figure suddenly appeared beside them, blocking their path.
An elder of the Dragonreturn Empire, a Late-stage Emperor!
"With my strength alone, it should be a piece of cake for me to fend off the two of you who are heavily injured."
It was a white-haired old man with a sword in his hand. He was dressed in a white robe and had a faint smile on his face. "One million shenbi. All I need to do is deal with two severely injured assassins and I'll be able to get my hands on it. How easy …"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two rays of white sword aura condensed from the terrifying power of space and icy divine runes. It froze the entire area and froze the two heavily injured Late-stage Emperors in midair!
All seven of the top-notch assassins from the Dark Shadow Pavilion had been captured!
