C28 Midnight Assault

Late at night!

Darkness enveloped every region of Imperial Capital City and during this period of time, even the most bustling central area gradually returned to its peaceful and tranquil state.

In an ordinary inn.

Chu Hen had already stayed here for almost a month, from the owner of the inn to the waiter who served tea and water, they all knew that a youth who had been continuously rejected by more than twenty High-Class Martial Mansions lived here.

After the matter regarding Chu Hen had been spread through Imperial Capital City, even the servants who worked in the inn vaguely showed some sympathy in their eyes.

However, Chu Hen could only ignore the gazes of the people who looked at him weirdly every day.

The inn was already closed.

The customers who were eating had all returned, while the ones who were staying had all fallen asleep early.

In this quiet moment, Chu Hen was actually sitting cross-legged on the bed in his room, in a state of meditation.

For Chu Hen, cultivation was something that he had to do every day. No matter how tired he was during the day, no matter how late he came back, he had never missed this schedule.

After what had happened to him in the past few days …

Chu Hen believed more firmly that in this unfair world, there was only one way that could allow himself to be treated fairly, and that was being powerful enough.

Without power, everything was just talk!

"Buzz buzz!"

The restless Strengths of True Essence circulated within Chu Hen's body, and emitted a faint wave of energy.

On the floor beside the bed, there was a pile of broken pieces of Elemental Crystal Stones that had been used up.

Threads of golden light covered Chu Hen's body, and emitted a hazy luster in the darkness. Within the Strengths of True Essence, two different colored lights could faintly be seen, one was the purple color of the Holy Body of Demon Eye, and the other was the black color of the Body of Chaos.

The two different kinds of bloodline powers intertwined with each other and converged with the Strengths of True Essence.

In this past month, Chu Hen's Cultivation and the power of the Boundary of Blood Lineage were complementary to each other. He could clearly feel that the strengths of the Holy Body of Demon Eye and the Strengths of the Body of Chaos were a few times stronger than when he was in Huoyan City.

"Buzz buzz!"

Abruptly, the Strengths of True Essence in Chu Hen's body became even more chaotic, and at the same time, a strange feeling of heat arose in his eyes.

The Strengths of True Essence that was flowing in his various major meridians became increasingly active. Chu Hen felt that the blood flow in his body was quickly increasing. He sat in his original position without moving, like a boulder.

Under Chu Hen's control, the fused true essence of both the power of Holy Body of Demon Eye and Body of Chaos circulated within his body, and attacked the ninth Martial Vein.

The surging Strengths of True Essence was like a large army that was approaching the city.

The pain of his Martial Vein being attacked spread throughout Chu Hen's body nonstop. The ninth Martial Vein was the last and also the most important Martial Vein.

Chu Hen unconsciously frowned, beads of perspiration gushing out from his face.

"Rumble!"

At this moment, Chu Hen's world of meditation was suddenly filled with rolling thunder. In the hazy and vast starry sky, winds swirled around clouds and Thunder Shine criss-crossed.

Then, a pair of enormous, astounding demonic pupils appeared in the air.

The charming and devilish eyes emitted an aura of destruction that caused a chill to fill one's heart. In the next moment, a surge of violet brilliance that could topple mountains and overturn seas violently surged out like a tide.

"Boom!"

Soon after, Chu Hen's ninth Martial Vein, which was as solid as a mountain, was suddenly broken through. The surging tides of the Strength of True Essence were like a flood that had just broken through a dam, the surging power flowed unimpeded through the meridians of various sizes in Chu Hen's body, and the aura that erupted from his body had also increased by more than ten times.

He had broken through the ninth Martial Vein!

Chu Hen opened his eyes, a bewitching purple luster surged within his deep eyes.

After just a month, Chu Hen had already broken through the last Martial Vein and stepped into the the Rank Nine of Vein Opening Stage. Such a fast speed, even the most talented top geniuses in Imperial Capital City could not surpass.

"Buzz!"

Feeling the surging power in his body, Chu Hen's face revealed a smile of understanding. Although it was just a difference of one Martial Vein, but the Strength of True Essence was almost ten times stronger.

If he met the genius, He Chao of the Bright Moon College again, Chu Hen was confident that he would be able to beat him to the ground within ten moves.

"Rustle, rustle ~ ~"

Abruptly, Chu Hen's ears twitched, and heard the sound of light footsteps coming from outside the window.

Chu Hen's eyes congealed, and a trace of dense coldness quietly released out.

"Bam!"

The sound of the door being kicked open was extremely heavy in the dark night. In the next moment, two masked Men in Black quickly rushed into the room, shining their swords and sabers, slashing fiercely at the bedding on the bed.

"Wait a minute." One of the Man in Black stopped and pointed to the empty bed and said: “No people in the bed.”

"How could that be?" The other person was equally confused.

"He must have fled ahead of time. Chase after him!"

Chase!

Just as the two Men in Black were about to leave the room, an ice-cold teasing voice came from above their heads, "Hehe, are you looking for me?"

What?

Startled, the two of them abruptly raised their heads, only to see a ghost-like figure hanging horizontally on the house beam.

Without waiting for the two to react, Chu Hen immediately jumped down and grabbed onto the neck of one with lightning speed. With a "kacha" sound, his throat broke, the man let out a muffled sound before collapsing onto the ground like mud. At the same time, Chu Hen casually grabbed the sharp sword from his palm.

"You?" The other Man in Black was shocked, he immediately raised his blade and slashed at Chu Hen.

But Chu Hen's speed was not just a little faster than him, he also swung his sword behind his back, and the bright afterimage of the sword pierced his eyeball with a sharp pain.

"Hiss!"

Blood rained from the sky, and an arm that was holding onto a long saber was sent flying.

"Ah!"

An incomparably mournful scream reverberated in the night. It was eerie to hear, and with a flash of sword light, a round head flew out the door along with the lost scream. It rolled on the ground for more than ten meters before stopping.

"Hmph, kill him!"

In the next second, a rough shout came from outside the room. The scattered footsteps on the stone steps sounded hurried yet heavy. Chu Hen's brows tightened, and judging from the sounds of footsteps, there were actually quite a few people.

"Clang clang!"

Immediately after, the doors and windows were broken, and the three Men in Black broke in first.

"Waterfall Destroying Mountain Palm!"

Chu Hen secretly shouted as the surging Strengths of True Essence quickly gathered in his palms.

The airflow in the entire room instantly became extremely chaotic. Circles of golden colored air swirled and pulsed within his palms, as if the sun in the sky were pouring down Holy Light essence, dazzling.

In the next moment, Chu Hen's raised both palms, and an incomparably tyrannical golden palm force comparable to the avalanche of the mountain, smashed down with the might of a landslide.

"Bam!"

All of the tables and chairs in the room were overturned in an instant, and the three Men in Black were directly blown away, falling to the ground one by one. Their blood spewed out, and their broken internal organs were scattered all over the place.

However, the outside of the room was quickly occupied by Men in Black, there were at least dozens of them. Adding the five that were killed by him just now, there were almost twenty killers.

Their killing intent surged as fierce as that of wolves!

Chu Hen's expression changed, there were actually so many people?

Without any extra time to think, Chu Hen quickly blew open a window, grabbed a Longsword from a dead killer's hands, jumped out of the room, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"Chase!"

The group of black-robed assassins didn't hesitate at all as they chased after Chu Hen.

It was already the latter half of the night, and even the lights at the center of Imperial Capital City had almost gone out.

The area that Chu Hen resided in was relatively close to the borders of Imperial Capital City and the main streets were long since empty. It was so quiet that one could only vaguely hear the dogs barking from the streets in the distance.

The sky was filled with dark clouds, and the moon and stars were nowhere to be seen.

It was drizzling.

Chu Hen's expression tensed up, his forehead was filled with seriousness, but his eyes that were deep and cold, contained not the slightest hint of panic or fear.

After a month had passed, the 'mastermind' that want to harm him finally no longer wanted to wait any longer.

He should have known earlier that those people wouldn't be able to wait, but there was nothing he could do.

Within the darkness, a dozen black clad assassins with sharp weapons were closing the distance between them and Chu Hen. The air became even colder and the fine rain fell onto their faces.

"We're almost at the 'east gate'. The gate will be closed by now, so it's unlikely we'll be able to escape!"

Chu Hen secretly thought, after a short period of time, his gaze landed on a big locust tree at the end of the street in front of him.

The locust tree was about ten meters tall, and it was so wide that it needs three people hands in hands to hug it. The branches and leaves were lush, giving the tree a sense of vitality.

Chu Hen's mind moved, he leapt up the big tree.

"Ta ta ta!"

The sound of hurried footsteps could be heard. In less than ten seconds, the assassins in black had caught up to him.

Looking at the empty street, the killer in black slowed down their pace.

"Where is he? Why is him gone? " A black-clothed assassin said.

"He was here just now, let’s searching around. He definitely won't be able to get far."

"If we can't kill this kid today, we won't be able to take the consequences. Even if we have to dig three feet out of the ground, we have to find him."

Their tone was full of viciousness, and their vicious gazes flickered with the luster of evil wolves.

Just as the two assassins reached the bottom of the locust tree, a sharp figure jumped down. The bright and beautiful Sword Shine was like a shooting star flying shuttle in the night sky.

"Hiss!"

The sound of weapons slicing through flesh was clear and ear-piercing. The two assassins' bodies trembled, their pupils were tightly locked, and their mouths were slightly open. A thin red line appeared and became thicker on their necks.

"Over there!"

All the assassins were frightened and furious.

They didn't expect that this immature brat would kill seven of their companions in a row.

"Kill him!"

More than a dozen fierce killers in black burst with intense killing intent one after another, as if they were starving dogs that were about to pounce on food.

Facing this group of ruthless and merciless people who were drenched in blood, Chu Hen's face was quietly covered in a cold frost. With a move of his mind, he released the power the Body of Chaos, and a ball of black light quickly climbed onto the sharp sword in his hand.

Kill!
