Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 68: Assassin

Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Assassin

Chu Feng repeatedly assured her and honestly sat outside to cultivate, incidentally acting as her guard.

Although he was no gentleman, sneaking peeks at a woman bathing was beneath the dignity of Alchemy Venerate Chu Feng.

At this moment, it was already night, and the wind outside the room was blowing fiercely. The leaves rustled loudly in the wind.

The Eastern Wind is Clear, the western wind brings rain; looking at this situation, it’s likely going to rain soon.

Chu Feng took out a Pei Yuan Elixir, placed it in his mouth, and slowly refined its effect, guiding it into the Fake Sword Vein.

Bursts of surging elixir energy rampaged inside Chu Feng’s body, coursing through, then merging into his sword meridians.

His heart was always suspended with worry.

If it were normal sword meridians, there would be nothing to worry about. But Fake Sword Veins are different, their walls constructed by Fake Meridian Pills. In terms of both flexibility and endurance, they are far inferior to real sword meridians.

Carelessness could easily cause them to burst.

Under Chu Feng’s careful guidance and control, the effect of the Pei Yuan Elixir was slowly absorbed by his Fire Element Sword Vein.

And his cultivation was rapidly climbing.

With the sword meridians, the efficacy of just one Pei Yuan Elixir was worth an entire bottle.

"Hmm?"

Chu Feng, who was in the middle of cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes and immediately sprang to his feet.

Because he had sensed a terrifying Killing Aura enveloping the entire room.

After his rebirth, his Soul Power had weakened by more than a hundredfold. But the perceptiveness honed through countless life-and-death experiences was still useful.

Chu Feng almost immediately determined that the assassin had come for him.

"I hope Senior Brother and Sister-in-law are safe!" Without a second thought, Chu Feng rushed towards the mechanism of the secret chamber and pressed it decisively.

He was very worried about his brother and sister-in-law’s safety, but not so much for his second sister.

Because to be able to enter the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, as soon as she recovered, she re-entered the secret chamber to continue her closed-door cultivation. She’s an absolute cultivation fanatic.

Of course, her extreme hard work and dedication were also for protecting the Sword King Mansion. To provide a better life for Chu Jianlan and Chu Feng.

After all, the current state of the Sword King Mansion was precarious, at any moment it could be destroyed by the Royal Family.

"Boom!"

The heavy door of the secret chamber gave off rumbling noises, and just as a small crack about half a foot wide appeared, Chu Feng squeezed in without any care for the danger.

At the very moment he squeezed in, the door latch of the room outside "snapped," easily cut off by a streak of sword light.

One who can cast sword light must undoubtedly be an Advanced Sword Master.

A black shadow flashed and entered Chu Feng’s room.

"Trying to escape into the secret chamber?" The voice of the black-clothed figure was bone-chillingly cold, instantly locking onto Chu Feng who had just squeezed into the secret chamber. Holding in his hand a sharp sword that glinted with cold light, he did not hesitate and chased directly after Chu Feng.

Chu Feng’s first reaction was to close the door of the secret chamber.

But as soon as he looked up, he saw a scene that made his nose bleed.

Perhaps it was the noise of the secret chamber door opening that startled her, so she immediately jumped out.

He felt his blood instantly boil.

Beauty, she was exceedingly beautiful!

Moreover, the black-clothed woman was not wearing a mask at this moment. Her stunning face, more beautiful than a fairy, could bewilder all who gaze upon her.

Chu Feng had seen many beauties and the most beautiful was Chang’e, who had once betrayed him.

But the black-clad woman in front of him was absolutely no less beautiful than Chang’e.

"Ah..." After shrieking, the black-clad woman yelled furiously to the extreme, "You lecher, prepare to die!"

Bang!

Chu Feng felt as though his body had been struck by a meteorite, and with an agonized scream of "ah," he was sent flying, fiercely crashing into the dense stone wall.

Then, he fell to the ground.

"Ugh! Stop hitting me... Someone is trying to kill me..." Chu Feng also knew he had barged into the secret chamber somewhat unreasonably.

With the black-clad woman’s formidable power, if she really wanted to kill him, she probably would have ended him on the spot rather than just inflicting injuries.

He hastily tried to explain himself.

Although the black-clad woman had shown some mercy, this palm strike had still been enough for him to bear. Blood was already hanging from the corner of his mouth, and his body was in severe pain in several places.

To seek undue advantage of others, without sufficient strength, he was certainly in for suffering.

Chu Feng would rather be beaten by her than be slaughtered by the assassins outside.

The black-clad woman was completely unaware of the situation outside the secret chamber.

She simply didn’t believe any of Chu Feng’s nonsense.

"In good order, who in the Sword King Mansion would be trying to kill you?"

"Moreover, with your hidden strength, I’m afraid even an Advanced Sword Master might not be your match, right?"

Others might not be aware of Chu Feng’s abilities, but the black-clad woman was very clear about them.

She had clashed with Chu Feng several times before, and his displayed tactics had even made her, a Great Sword Master, wary. Inside the Sword King Mansion, who could possibly be trying to kill Chu Feng?

And to scare Chu Feng into looking like this?

She was convinced that Chu Feng was deliberately making up excuses to peep at her.

She felt more ashamed and angrier in her heart.

"You clearly want to take advantage of me... and still dared to find such lame excuses! I must gouge out your eyes!" The black-clad woman’s temper was as fiery as ever, wishing she could slay Chu Feng, the scoundrel.

However, Chu Feng had saved her after all, and he had also taken very good care of her during this period.

Biting the hand that feeds one can make it difficult for her to actually carry out her threat.

"Be careful, he’s coming in!" Seeing the lady about to raise her slender jade hand again, Chu Feng, in his urgency, could only point in the direction of the secret chamber’s door.

The door of the secret chamber was opened once more, and the terrifying assassin really did follow inside.

The black-clad woman was stunned, then swiftly moved to draw her sword, sharply demanding "Who are you?" Chu Feng, ignoring the pain in his body, quickly scrambled up and shamelessly hid behind her.

Now was not the time to show off.

This assassin in the mystic robe was extremely powerful, with the cultivation of a Great Sword Master. In a head-on confrontation, he was fully capable of instantly killing Chu Feng.

It wasn’t easy to be reborn and get back on the right path, with vengeance in sight.

Chu Feng didn’t want to be tragically eliminated by someone.

"I underestimated you, the waste of the Sword King Mansion, to think you were hiding such a beautiful Great Sword Master in your room!" The voice of the man in the mystic robe was cold and merciless, and he felt quite surprised.

Because according to the information he had gathered, there were no experts in the Sword King Mansion.

This was also why he had dared to sneak into the Sword King Mansion boldly and attempt to kill Chu Feng.

While talking, the man in the mystic robe suddenly lunged forward, became as one with his sword, and fierce, unrivaled Sword Qi raged wildly in all directions.
