C108 Poisoned

Another half a month passed.

General’s Palace.

During this time, Feng Yu had found countless things that contained Spiritual Qi and Spiritual Power to absorb for the fragment. After absorbing it, the fragment seemed to have undergone some changes. It started to emit a faint dark light, and even the crack between the two pieces seemed to have become lighter.

At the beginning of the Twilight, she had returned to her own courtyard. There were only three days left until the official move of Hao Yuan Academy. She also had to go to Hao Yuan Academy with Yun Hong and Yun Yixuan that day.

From then on, she would officially become a disciple of Hao Yuan Academy. Although she only had a name.

After returning to the courtyard, she immediately sensed a few auras locking onto her. Those auras were cold and bloodthirsty. She slowed down her footsteps and narrowed her eyes to be on guard.

She smelled the aura of her own kind.

Therefore, the few people locking onto her were assassins.

Very good. After coming to this world for so long, it was the first time she was confronted by an assassin. She didn’t know who was trying to kill her this time.

A gust of wind passed by and Feng Yu immediately sensed a dangerous aura. She retreated quickly and closed her eyes. She waved out a palm, and her Spiritual Qi seemed to have a special reaction as it fell in the direction of the dark wind.

“Puff…”

A figure covered in darkness appeared. His body seemed to have been severely injured. He knelt on one knee and spat out a mouthful of blood. Feng Yu’s eyes turned cold. She locked onto him and attacked again. The figure raised his head and glanced at her. His body suddenly retreated quickly and disappeared into the darkness.

A few more gusts of wind blew past, and the ice-cold blade almost stuck to her skin. Feng Yu’s feet moved in a strange way, and she dodged the assassins who were closing in on her.

Assassins paid attention to killing in one hit, so after they failed, they immediately retreated. Feng Yu saw people appearing and disappearing, but they didn’t retreat. They were waiting for an opportunity to kill her, as if they wanted to take her life.

“Puff…”

It was the sound of a sharp weapon piercing into flesh. Feng Yu was a bit slow, and her arm was stabbed. She felt a sharp pain, and blood flowed out. She could see that the blood was black, and the dagger was poisonous.

Feng Yu covered her arm and retreated. She looked at the assassins who kept appearing and disappearing, and sighed in her heart. The assassins’ invisibility skill was indeed annoying. However, could it be that only they could hide?

With a thought, Feng Yu activated the Silent Pearl that was floating in the center of her brows. A strange power covered her in an instant, and then her body disappeared in an instant. It was like she was invisible, as if she had completely disappeared from this world. Not even a trace of her existence was left.

After she disappeared, the few hidden auras suddenly became chaotic. Then, their bodies appeared. A few figures in the darkness held daggers in their hands, and they were looking for Feng Yu.

They had seen Feng Yu disappear in front of their eyes, so they were sure that Feng Yu was also an assassin like them, but her cultivation was higher than theirs.

After hiding, her aura would leak out, but she didn’t. It was as if she had completely disappeared. This was an ability only high-level assassins had.

Feng Yu stood in the corner and looked at the six assassins in the yard with cold eyes. Her eyes narrowed. Her poison seemed to have started to show. Her head started to sink. This body didn’t have the ability to resist poison, so she probably wouldn’t be able to hold on for long.

So, she had to end the battle quickly. Feng Yu reached out her hand and with a thought, a shard of darkness appeared in her palm. She held the shard between her fingers and swung her arm. The shard pierced into an assassin’s body with unstoppable force.

The assassin was so fast that he was caught off guard, so he could only be hit.

The other assassins immediately looked over, but no one helped him. They were only more careful around him. Feng Yu’s lips curled up.

As expected, they were professional assassins. Their existence was only for completing the mission. During the mission, even if their companions died, they wouldn’t even frown. It was as if they were just strangers.

In fact, they were companions, but they were also strangers.

Assassins often wore black masks, and their bodies were covered in darkness. They didn’t even know what each other looked like. So, what was the difference between them and strangers?

While she was lost in her thoughts, the assassin who was stabbed groaned in pain. Then, his face under the mask started to twist.

Because of the power of the contract, Feng Yu could see a strange light coming from the fragment. Then, the essence of the assassin’s body turned into a transparent light and was absorbed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The assassin groaned in pain. In the blink of an eye, the assassin fell to the ground. Under his black clothes, there was only a skeleton. All the blood and flesh had disappeared.

A coldness rose from Feng Yu’s body. The fragment of the Nine Heavens Evil Killing Blade was too evil. Wasn’t it an ancient divine weapon? Why was it so evil? Her heart couldn’t help but become heavy.

After one of the assassins fell to the ground, the other assassins looked at him, but they all moved their eyes away and continued to search for Feng Yu’s whereabouts. It was as if the dead companion was just unimportant.

They wouldn’t care about the death of their companion. They would only care about how he died.

Feng Yu waved her hand and the fragment of the Nine Heavens Evil Slaying Blade flew to her palm. With a thought, she put the fragment away. At this moment, footsteps came from the arch. The remaining five assassins all looked toward the door. Feng Yu also looked over and saw Yun Yixuan in his white robe coming through the moonlight.

Under the moonlight, his face was as beautiful as jade. He was unbelievably handsome.

Yun Yixuan saw the five assassins with one glance. His eyes flashed with a trace of astonishment. After not seeing Feng Yu, he felt relieved.

He looked at the five assassins with the daggers in their hands. A powerful aura that made people’s legs go soft swept over them. He spoke with a cold voice, “How dare you! You dare to touch the people of the General’s Mansion. If you don’t want to die, tell me who made you do this.”

The five assassins looked at each other and didn’t say anything.

Feng Yu, who had hidden herself, shook her head and smiled. It seemed that her brother was kind and couldn’t bear to kill these five assassins. Otherwise, he would just kill them directly.

The assassins’ mouths were as tight as a dead person’s. How could he get anything out of their mouths?

Yun Yixuan didn’t hear the assassins speak for a long time. He frowned and said, “I don’t want to kill you. Don’t force me to kill you.”

After he finished speaking, the five assassins took a step back and then disappeared in a flash. In an instant, all of their auras disappeared. Yun Yixuan looked at the disappearing assassins and sighed. He couldn’t regain his senses for a long time.

Feng Yu’s head became heavier and heavier. She moved her mind and the power of the concealing bead immediately disappeared. She appeared in a flash, “Brother…”

Seeing Yun Yixuan, she shouted weakly and then fell to the ground.

“Third sister.”

Yun Yixuan exclaimed. He moved and immediately walked toward her. Before she fell to the ground, he held her in his arms. “Third sister, you are injured…”

He seemed to have been frightened and his voice started to tremble.

“I, I, I was poisoned…”

Feng Yu’s voice was very weak. The scene before her eyes became darker and darker. Yun Yixuan’s handsome face was filled with fear and he became blurry in her eyes. In the end, she couldn’t see anything.
