Chapter 2269: Chapter 2248: The Masked Man, Assassination!
"Senior, when did you last see my master?"
"Probably around ten years ago."
"Do you know where my master is now?"
"How would I know where he is? Last ti, he ca to visit ."
"What’s the origin of that old man in black behind the Holy Soul Sect?"
"Are you talking about that old ghost? He is originally the ancestor of the Holy Soul Sect. Why?"
"That guy is really arrogant!"
"Yeah, he’s always been like that. Only your master can handle him!"
...
While playing chess with the elder, Lin Feng chatted with him and learned many things. He was relieved to know that most of the Heavenly Immortal Realm experts in the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm had not appeared for years. There are only around ten of them, and many have a good relationship with his master. Therefore, he mainly has to deal with those from the Holy Soul Sect and the Nine Nether Sect who injured him last ti. The other sects are just cannon fodder.
After half a day, Lin Feng finished the chess ga with the elder and bid farewell. The elder knew Lin Feng had many affairs to attend to, so he didn’t hold him back.
Upon returning to Earth, Lin Feng continued arranging formations, striving to make them as comprehensive as possible to increase Earth’s chances of victory.
While setting up the formation, Chu ng and Zhu Tao, along with the Inner Pavilion Elders, began setting up the giant Sound Demon One. The massive nuclear reactor was placed hundreds of feet underground, with nurous Demon Beasts and Inner Pavilion Elders involved, making this seemingly impossible task feasible. Once completed, Chu ng took Zhu Tao to retrieve countless portable Sound Demon Ones, distributing them to mbers of the Holy Wind Sect...
In short, Earth was fully mobilized, making all preparations possible. Even so, the elders were not idle. Whenever they had new ideas, they would consult Lin Feng to explore all possibilities...
Elsewhere, Fang Yan left the island and returned to the mainland. Looking back at the Endless Sea, their faces turned grim. The journey back was swift and bumpy, carried by two mysterious Demon Beasts. They fought to suppress their urge to vomit— not out of desire, but fear, for even Fang Yan couldn’t discern the depths of the creatures bearing them...
Once the two Demon Beasts had departed, the three couldn’t hold back any longer. They stood and vomited profusely, their heads swirling with intense dizziness, feeling helpless about their uncomfortable return.
After a long ti of retching, Fang Yan and his companions finally felt better, with the dizziness vanishing. They then soared into the sky to find the nearest Cloud Travel Tower, intending to swiftly return to the Divine Sword Sect.
Six hours later, the trio arrived at the edge of a large city, Tide City. Fang Yan’s Divine Sense pinpointed the location of a Cloud Travel Tower, and they planned to head there to return to their sect.
Suddenly, Fang Yan’s alertness spiked. Instinctively, he exploded into action, releasing a powerful aura that sent Qin Kun and Wu Shan flying away. At the sa ti, he shifted hundreds of feet in position. Just as Qin Kun and Wu Shan were processing what was happening, a dazzling sword light from the sky cleaved through Fang Yan’s afterimage!
"Boom!"
The Sword Gang struck the earth, carving a massive trench several miles long. The ground trembled as if an earthquake hit, showcasing the terrifying power of this sword!
Seeing the trench, cold sweat broke out on Qin Kun and Wu Shan’s faces. Had Fang Yan not knocked them aside, they might have been slain by that Sword Qi. They now understood that this was an attack by a peerless expert!
"I’ve been waiting for you for a long ti, never expected you’d co so late." Fang Yan looked up at the sky and said calmly, "Since you’re here, why are you still hiding?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure descended slowly from the sky. The person was dressed in a black robe, the wide sleeves resembling theatrical costus, and wore a mask with a grim face and fangs. This was none other than the master of Hidden Kill, the Masked Man!
"I didn’t expect you to grow so fast, in the blink of an eye you’ve reached the late Earth Immortal stage. Soone like you would be a great asset to us Hidden Kill, what a pity to destroy you!" The Masked Man looked at Fang Yan and said with a regretful tone, as if Fang Yan’s fate was already determined!
"That’s quite bold of you to say, maybe this ti it’s you who will die?" Fang Yan looked at the Masked Man and shook his head. If he had encountered this Masked Man in the early Earth Immortal stage, he might really not be a match for him. He could feel a powerful sense of oppression from his opponent, undoubtedly indicating that the Masked Man had likely reached half-Step to Heavenly Immortal Realm. But now Fang Yan was in the late Earth Immortal stage, and he was confident he could handle this level of opponent, so he wasn’t worried at all.
"Oh? You still have such confidence?" The Masked Man was surprised to hear Fang Yan’s words. He hadn’t expected Fang Yan to still be speaking with such confidence at this point, which made him see Fang Yan in a new light. The infamous na of Hidden Kill brought terror across the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm, yet Fang Yan had the audacity to challenge him. This genuinely surprised the Masked Man.
"Of course, if you don’t believe , try it and you’ll see!" Facing the Masked Man, Fang Yan did not show a hint of fear. As he spoke to the Masked Man, he simultaneously signaled Qin Kun and Wu Shan with his Divine Sense to leave quickly. Even the aftermath of a clash with such a powerful being would be too much for Qin Kun and Wu Shan to handle.
Upon receiving Fang Yan’s signal, Qin Kun and Wu Shan knew what was happening and imdiately made a run for it, flying away at the highest speed towards the distance.
Seeing Qin Kun and Wu Shan leave, the Masked Man was unconcerned. Looking at Fang Yan, he said calmly, "You’ve killed so many of my Hidden Kill, but I still value talent. If you’re willing to join Hidden Kill, I can overlook the past. Otherwise, you die!"
"I won’t be anyone’s servant. Since you’re here, let’s not waste words—let’s fight." Upon hearing the Masked Man, Fang Yan shook his head and said directly. Right after speaking, Gang Qi erupted from his body, burning fiercely like red flas, resembling a true conflagration, making Fang Yan appear like a legendary fire deity.
With a slight shake of his hands, two blazing suns the size of millstones appeared, encircling Fang Yan, adding to his terrifying appearance. The mont the blazing suns appeared, the surrounding space surged in temperature, as if the entire area was about to set ablaze!
"If that’s the case, then so be it." Upon hearing Fang Yan’s words and seeing him preparing to attack, the Masked Man uttered calmly. Then, he suddenly transford into a green beam of light shooting directly at Fang Yan, with indescribable speed, as if he were the embodint of true light, arriving before Fang Yan almost instantaneously.
With a flick of his enormous sleeve, a massive Sword Gang, hundreds of feet wide, erged, stabbing at Fang Yan with the velocity of actual light. The sword light instantly pierced through Fang Yan’s body, so quick that there was no ti to react!
Yet the Masked Man felt no joy, as he imdiately realized that he had rely pierced through Fang Yan’s afterimage. At this mont, his vigilance heightened because the surrounding temperature suddenly rose, making him instantly aware that Fang Yan’s attack had arrived!
With no ti to think, the Masked Man exploded with all his might, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Just as he vanished, a blazing sun descended like a teor, crashing at the spot where he just stood, followed by a spectacular mid-air explosion!
"Boom!"
A thunderous explosion resounded, with towering flas bursting outward, resembling a sea of fire that engulfed everything within a few miles in an instant. It was as if they had entered the legendary fire-infested Hell, with nothing but flas, nothing but destruction!
Monts later, as the flas dissipated, everything within a few miles had turned to char, terrifyingly so. So dried, inky-black branches still faintly emitted small flas...
The Masked Man stood in mid-air, surrounded by a green Gang Qi protecting him like a shield. He remained unscathed, yet his expression beneath the green mask greatly changed. He hadn’t anticipated that Fang Yan’s attack would be so terrifying as soon as he made a move.
"Do you still think I’m easy to handle now?" Fang Yan, like the descending fire deity, stood in mid-air looking at the Masked Man and said calmly. Although the Masked Man’s speed was astonishingly fast, beyond the reach of any Earth Immortal, Fang Yan had the Thousand Miles in One Step skill. No matter how swift the Masked Man’s attacks were, he could do nothing to him!
Moreover, Fang Yan had just witnessed the opponent’s speed, which was on par with his own speed now. If the Masked Man’s abilities were rely this, then dealing with him today would be an effortless task for Fang Yan.
After listening to Fang Yan’s words, a killing intent flashed in the Masked Man’s eyes as he said to Fang Yan, "I never thought you’d beco this powerful. Had I known earlier, I would have co seeking you sooner. Do you truly think you can kill ? Today, I’ll show you the difference between us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless green Gang Qi suddenly surged from the Masked Man’s body. In just an instant, two identical figures appeared beside him, identical in aura and power levels!
