Chapter 281: Chapter 281 Shadow Assassin Armor Blueprints_1
Suddenly, within this sea of magma, an extreme murderous intent surged forth. Taking advantage of Chu Yuan's confrontation with the Golden Flame, it suddenly launched an attack, the angle extremely tricky.
This illusion, mixed in with the magma, struck with perfect timing.
In its hand was a dagger. Its power didn't scatter at all, instead concentrating on one point.
This point was like a strike from the heavens themselves, immediately tearing open the void. Even those in the Void God Realm would face certain death under this figure's assassination attempt, causing utter fear.
"Seeking death!"
Even though this person was well hidden, how could he elude Chu Yuan's realization? He slammed his palm, becoming an endless sea. The golden dragons in the sky shattered, and his palm directly reached for the person trying to ambush.
Boom!
This person, a master in the art of assassination, fearlessly strikes with unmatched determination.
But he chose the wrong person to assassinate.
This person didn't react to Chu Yuan's counterattack at all. In an instant, he was in front of Chu Yuan. His dagger, a divine artifact of royal grade, was transparent, blending into the colors of the void.
"Die."
One could now see his face. His mouth moved as if to utter the word 'die.'
However, Chu Yuan's form was tall and sturdy, unmovable.
He struck down in front of this person. The assassination attempt's powerful impact was completely disintegrated by him. An even stronger force blasted into the assassin.
The smile on the man's face froze as he received the impact, swiftly retreating backwards.
At this moment, the man's face could finally be clearly seen.
He was a young man with a pale complexion. He wore strange clothing that shifted colors like a chameleon. He was even as powerful as a rank five Void God Realm.
He was also a bit puzzled. Despite being in the fifth stage of the Void God Realm and launching a decisive strike, he still hadn't been able to kill Chu Yuan.
"You're very powerful. I didn't manage to kill you."
The man released a soft voice.
His figure immediately disintegrated, preparing to vanish from Chu Yuan's sight.
An unparalleled assassin would never attempt a second strike if the first failed.
"Still want to escape?"
Chu Yuan reached out. Of course, he recognized that the man was using an extremely profound escape technique.
Suddenly, numerous rays of thunderous light slashed down, and under Chu Yuan's control, turned into a cage. With the power of the Void, it forced the man to abruptly stop as if he had hit a wall, his figure once again appearing.
"You dare to attack me, and think you can just leave like that?"
Chu Yuan looked at this man.
"Assassin Tu Zhen!"
Ouyang Ming finally recognized the man's true face, he exclaimed in surprise: "I didn't expect it to be you. You dared to assassinate the Emperor, you're incredibly audacious!"
He had heard of Tu Zhen from the Eastern Xuan Region, a famous assassin. The number of Void Gods who died by his hands was more than one could count on their fingers. He had also successfully assassinated a prince of the Eastern Xuan Dynasty and escaped, making him untouchable.
"So what do you want to do about it?"
Tu Zhen remained calm, smiling and saying, "It seems like I chose the wrong target today, and ran into a tough nut to crack. It appears that I'll be at the mercy of others, whether I live or die."
Although he said this, he was still looking for a chance to escape.
As an assassin, when faced with danger, one must always remain calm.
"Your assassination technique is pretty good."
His words were genuine.
If Chu Yuan hadn't reached the fifth layer of the Mystic God Realm, he would have been in big trouble facing Tu Zhen.
"Thank you for your praise, Sire."
Tu Zhen's expression didn't change: "If I'm not wrong, you should be the Martial Emperor of the Great Wu Dynasty."
"You know me," Chu Yuan said.
"As an assassin, of course I'm privy to such information."
At this moment, Tu Zhen casually said: "I heard that the Emperor possesses numerous elixirs, and is recruiting talents. If I, Tu Zhen, was willing to join the Great Wu and become an assassin under your command, would I be able to get those elixirs?"
Ouyang Ming's eyes widened.
Unexpectedly, after his failed assassination attempt, Tu Zhen wanted to join the Great Wu dynasty.
One must know, this was a level five Void God Realm expert.
[Choice One: Recruit Tu Zhen, join Great Wu, gain 500 Destiny Points, Shadow Assassin dagger blueprint x1.]
[Choice Two: Kill Tu Zhen, gain 500 Destiny Points, Shadow Assassin Armor Blueprint.]
"Do you think I would want you?" Chu Yuan indifferently said.
This Tu Zhen is somewhat interesting.
"Of course, I'm an assassin who lives in the shadows. If I swear allegiance to you, I will handle the shady business that you prefer not to dirty your hands with, such as assassinations. You can also give me a position. I am willing to build an Assassin Legion for you."
Tu Zhen confidently said, "My demands are very simple, it's just the elixirs."
"As an assassin, I also value trust. You give me elixirs, and I give you contributions."
"You wish."
However, when Chu Yuan looked at Tu Zhen, he directly attacked, his unfathomable aura pressuring him. Chu Yuan had resolved to take Tu Zhen's life.
"You want to kill me!"
Tu Zhen's face finally changed.
He initially thought that with his sincerity, the Emperor in front of him would keep him. After all, he had the power of a level five Void God Realm. There was no reason not to keep him.
"Sire, should you not think this through!?" Tu Zhen roared.
"Indeed, I am recruiting talents, but not every piece of trash is acceptable. In my eyes, you are that trash. An assassin that I have caught is still negotiating terms with me; you're courting death!"
His hand transformed into the power of the Wheel of Life and Death.
With his current realm, it was countless times more terrifying than before.
"You can't kill me!"
Tu Zhen could sense that death was approaching. He activated his mana again and again, trying to escape.
"Nonsense!"
Chu Yuan showed no mercy when striking.
For the people he despised, even level five Void God Realm could be killed, while those he appreciated, even an ordinary person, he would keep.
Him wanting to negotiate terms and demanding elixirs was incredibly stupid.
If Tu Zhen hadn't attempted to assassinate him and instead appeared willingly after Chu Yuan tamed the Golden Flame, Chu Yuan might have kept him.
But that was impossible now.
The Wheel of Life and Death crushed Tu Zhen.
Tu Zhen excelled in assassination and escape but under Chu Yuan's confinement, he couldn't escape. He could only watch as the Wheel of Life and Death crushed into him.
"No!"
Tu Zhen released his last scream.
His flesh and soul were crushed bit by bit.
He was an absolute failure in direct combat, without any power to fight back.
Once crushed into pieces, he was sucked dry by Chu Yuan, completely obliterated.
Only the armor and dagger on him were grabbed by Chu Yuan.
"A level five Void God Realm was so easily killed by him."
Watching as Tu Zhen was killed by Chu Yuan, Ouyang Ming watched in disbelief. This assassin, whom the Eastern Xuan Imperial Court found untouchable, turned out to be so easily killed by Chu Yuan.
And he also saw Chu Yuan's ruthlessness.
When angered, the Emperor decapitates, without any negotiation!
The two characters "Emperor" already explained everything.
"Ding! Host has completed Choice Two, gained 500 Destiny Points, and a blueprint of Shadow Assassin Armor."
