C46 Assassination

"It's finally the finals."

"Today, who will be the one to stand out in this battle between Ling Yun and Ling Kun and obtain the qualification to enter the Ling Clan of Imperial City?"

"It will be revealed soon. I'm really looking forward to it."

The seventh day.

Early in the morning, a large number of people from the Ling Family had gathered into a stream of people and were heading towards the martial arena. Every part of the Ling Family was filled with heated discussions.

Ling Yun had been cultivating the Holy Thunder Misfortune-crossing Spell with his legs crossed for the whole night. At this moment, he was startled by the lively atmosphere and opened his eyes with a swoosh.

"It's time to set off."

Ling Yun grabbed the Red Thunder Spear, placed it on his back, and headed towards the Martial Arts Practice Hall.

At this moment, not many people could be seen in the Ling Family. All of them were gathered on the martial arena.

Ling Yun walked into a narrow alley.

Because Ling Yun's courtyard was located in a remote area, this was the only way he could go to the martial arts field.

The moment Ling Yun stepped into the alley, Ling Yun suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The air seemed to be filled with a cold killing intent. The cold wind blew past, bleak and bone-piercing.

At the end of the alley, the figure of an old man covered in a black robe suddenly appeared.

"Who are you!"

Ling Yun's pupils contracted slightly. He could feel a great threat from Black-robed Elder.

Obviously, he did not come with good intentions. Good people would not come!

Black-robed Elder let out a strange laugh. His voice was like two rotten wood rubbing together, sharp and unpleasant to the ear. "You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that I am the one who killed you."

Ling Yun said, "Hehe, it seems that you are not confident. If you are really confident that you can keep me here forever, then why not tell me who sent you here?"

As Ling Yun spoke, he used his peripheral vision to observe his surroundings. In his mind, he was thinking of a way to deal with this situation.

Black-robed Elder seemed to have seen through Ling Yun's thoughts. He sneered and said, "Don't try to trick me. Also, don't try to run away. Today, you will die for sure."

Black-robed Elder flipped his palm and a broken ancient jade appeared in his palm.

"This is... the Qi of a broken Yuan Weapon!" Ling Yun was shocked.

The so-called Origin Tools could only be refined by Earth Essence Stage warriors! Its power could be imagined.

"At least you have some knowledge."

Kacha

A trace of pain flashed across Black-robed Elder's eyes, but he still crushed the broken ancient jade.

An invisible barrier quickly expanded, and finally covered the entire alleyway.

"You should be glad that this broken Origin Tool isn't the main attack. It will only form a barrier that can isolate Expert of Earth Essence Stage from prying. Otherwise... Even if there were a hundred of you, it wouldn't be enough to kill you with a primary weapon. However, as long as it could cut off the prying eyes of Earth Essence Stage warriors, it would be enough. I have more than enough power to kill you."

Ling Yun's heart skipped a beat.

Initially, he wanted to create a huge commotion and attract the experts of Ling Family here.

However, it was basically impossible for Black-robed Elder to use this technique.

Now, the only thing Ling Yun could rely on was... It was himself.

"Alright, enough nonsense. It's time to send you to Hell King."

Black-robed Elder let out a strange laugh and slowly approached Ling Yun.

In his eyes, Ling Yun, who had yet to reach the Eighth Rank of Human Essence Stage, was like an ant that could be easily crushed.

An incomparably powerful Qi emerged from Black-robed Elder's body.

Tenth level of the Mortal Origin Stage!

This Black-robed Elder was a cultivator of the tenth level of the Human Origin Stage. If he was in the Ling Family, he would be qualified to be an elder.

The assassin who wanted to assassinate Ling Yun had actually hired such an assassin at all costs. He had even spent a precious broken Yuan Weapon to kill Ling Yun!

"Ling Kun sent you here, didn't he?"

At this moment, many thoughts flashed across Ling Yun's mind.

Ling Yun's extraordinary talent had already made Ling Kun feel threatened. This was Ling Kun's motive to kill.

In addition, only Ling Kun had the ability to arrange such a deadly trap.

The others, like Ling Jue and Ling Yu, although they also wanted Ling Yun dead, they didn't have the ability to do so.

"Who wants to kill you? You can ask the King of Hell about this question after you go to hell."

Black-robed Elder's voice suddenly turned cold, and his killing intent was overflowing. It was as if the temperature of the entire alley had dropped to zero degrees.

...

On the martial arts field.

A new gigantic Battle Platform had been completed. Around the Battle Platform, a black mass of people from the Ling Family were watching the battle.

Ling Xingye, Ling Ba, and the other higher ups of the Ling Family were standing on the grandstand.

"It's almost time. Where are Ling Yun and Ling Kun? Are they not here yet? "

"They are here, Ling Kun is here!"

Everyone looked in one direction. Ling Kun was wearing a luxurious purple robe and his hair was tied up in a jade belt. He looked extremely handsome and attracted the screams of young girls.

Ling Kun looked around and heard the screams coming and going. He couldn't help but feel proud of himself. He raised his head and jumped onto the Battle Platform.

"Ling Kun is here. Ling Yun is the only one left."

"Why isn't Ling Yun here yet?"

"Did he oversleep?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could a High Rank Human Essence Stage Fighter oversleep? What nonsense are you talking about? He must have been delayed by something."

"This is really disappointing. All of us are getting impatient from waiting. He, on the other hand, refuses to appear as the main character of this competition."

Some complaining voices sounded in the crowd.

"Did he oversleep? Hehe, I'm afraid he's going to sleep forever." On top of the Battle Platform, the corner of Ling Kun's mouth curled up slightly.

Only he and his father, Ling Ba, knew the real reason why Ling Yun couldn't appear.

Ling Kun and Ling Ba, the father and son, quietly exchanged a glance. Their hearts were filled with wild joy.

It seemed that Old Jin had succeeded!

As long as Old Jin found an opportunity to stop Ling Yun, Ling Yun would die for sure.

After all, Old Jin was a genuine tenth level Mortal Origin Stage cultivator, and he also had a broken Origin Device that could isolate people from prying. He could kill Ling Yun without anyone noticing.

The judge looked at the rising sun, calculated the time, and said to the people in the stands with a frown, "Chief, it is almost time. What if Ling Yun still doesn't show up?"

"It doesn't matter. I will wait a little longer."

Ling Kun put one hand behind his back and said confidently, "I'm afraid that Ling Yun is afraid of me and doesn't dare to show up. That would be meaningless."

"Then let's wait a little longer." Ling Xingye looked at Ling Kun in surprise.

"Damn, why hasn't Ling Yun appeared yet? What time is it?"

As time passed, the dissatisfied voices on the martial arts field became louder and louder.

"Ling Yun must be afraid of battle."

"Even if he's afraid of losing, he still has to come out and give an explanation. What's the meaning of hiding like a coward?"

"This is too disappointing!"
