Chapter 1052: 【758】Assassin Strikes, Flying Sword Slays (Second update, seeking monthly pass) Chapter 1052: 【758】Assassin Strikes, Flying Sword Slays (Second update, seeking monthly pass) At 9 o’clock in the evening, the storm was as dark as night.
The heavy rain ruthlessly slapped against the windows, the crackling sound reverberated, just like the mood of the new head of the Jiang family at this mont.
“Chairman, Lin Xinorth has taken away more than seventy percent of our elites, even many investors have indicated they want to withdraw their funds after hearing he’s left. Once they pull out, our cash flow will definitely break…”
“Slam!”
A piece of exquisite porcelain was suddenly smashed to pieces.
Chairman Jiang, who had just been in charge of Jiang Corporation for five years, seed rather aggravated, “This is my Jiang family’s empire, not Lin Xinorth’s. Are all these investors pigs? Without my Jiang family, Lin Xinorth wouldn’t even know where to beg for food!”
The middle-aged man standing opposite him felt slightly embarrassed and after a mont of silence he solemnly said, “Young Master Xin Cheng also left with people last night.”
“What? Jiang Xinrun has gone mad?” Chairman Jiang was stunned.
The empire of the Jiang family had always been divided into business and martial power.
He knew too well the aning of Jiang Xinrun to the Jiang family.
After the old patriarch disappeared, and the Jiang family had been targeted, it was almost Jiang Xinrun and that Li Xiaoyin who had been backing them up.
Li Xiaoyin, being an outsider, could be disregarded, after all… she was a foreigner.
But Jiang Xinrun…
Chairman Jiang’s forehead vein popped with fury, and he said resentfully, “Sure enough, you can’t warm a snake in your bosom. If the old patriarch hadn’t taken pity on him all those years ago and brought him ho, he would still be a little beggar eating at the south street bridge!”
“Chairman Jiang, it’s useless to say these things now, we must figure out a solution.”
Chairman Jiang coldly said, “You are not kind, so don’t bla for being unrighteous!”
…
“Boom!”
A thunder exploded outside the window.
Beneath the night sky, the storm beca even more terrifying.
Li Xiaoyin’s eyes widened.
Watching the mysterious man in front of her condense the lightning into a foot-long bolt of thunder.
“Are you ready?”
Being asked like this,
Li Xiaoyin swallowed hard,
but thinking about how the other party had clearly stated that he could help her improve her cultivation, she nodded and said solemnly, “I am ready.”
No sooner had she finished speaking,
Than the lightning entered her body.
Li Xiaoyin’s hair stood on end instantly.
Her entire vitality began to fluctuate.
“Concentrate your mind, silently recite the mantra I taught you…” The mysterious man’s voice echoed in Li Xiaoyin’s ear.
Her mind tightened, and she began to silently recite the mantra for tempering lightning.
…
Half an hour later.
The last bit of lightning turned into a ball of light… and then completely disappeared.
“I…”
Li Xiaoyin opened her mouth to say sothing, then a puff of smoke billowed out of her mouth.
She was suddenly stunned.
Sowhat astonished.
“The stagnated vitality in your body has now been cleared partway, as long as you diligently cultivate this thod, you’ll be able to empty all the stagnated vitality. Then when operating the powers of vitality, your efforts will be doubly effective.”
Li Xiaoyin suddenly paused, “My junior previously told …”
“Of course, it’s his discovery, just that he didn’t have ti to teach you,” the mysterious man responded blandly.
Li Xiaoyin realized this, then she turned to look at the middle-aged man, whose mask seed to isolate all spiritual power.
She didn’t know who the person was.
But it seed…
She definitely needed to do sothing.
“So… what do I need to do?”
“It’s simple, you just need to…”
…
…
The Star Association needed talents to hold the fort, and Li Xiaoyin was just one of them.
Developing such an organization was just a ans for Pei Jinye to stabilize his base.
With the Federation serving as the main world, Pei Jinye’s roots were ultimately to be planted here… and he couldn’t possibly stay at the plantation all the ti.
He needed reliable people for defense.
This ti when Pei Jinye returned to the Federation, he gradually handed over the plantation to Lin Xinorth to manage.
The separation from Jiang Corporation had been completely finalized.
Pei Jinye didn’t care to manage it.
In the past three days, he had been refining artifacts at the residence provided by Lin Xinorth.
Now with the Origin of Golden Mother, he had the full capability to upgrade his main weapons one by one, it just required a considerable consumption of materials.
With a last batch of materials used up, the in-front Flying Sword let out a crisp “zipping” sound.
Though the sound was faint, the determination it embodied was enough to intimidate the world as decisively as an autumn breeze sweeping fallen leaves.
“The eleventh Flying Sword has been successfully refined!”
With a thought.
The eleven flying swords before him were all emitting the power of the stars, their contained brilliance equally captivating.
“This kind of power, I wonder how it compares to the magic artifacts of the Fragnt World. Who would have the advantage?”
After a mont’s thought,
Pei Jinye cast aside his distractions.
There were still six flying swords waiting for further enhancent.
However, the artifact refining materials in Da Peng City had almost been exhausted.
He was about to call Lin Xinorth for more supplies
when he suddenly received an urgent phone call from him, “Boss, I’m being followed…”
Before he could finish his words, a massive explosion thundered through the phone.
Pei Jinye frowned, his anger flaring.
“Courting death!”
He vanished from the spot.
The mont Lin Xinorth’s call ca through, he had already pinpointed his location.
As he set off, his killing intent was sky-high!
…
A cold wind swept through.
The desolation, compounded by last night’s heavy rain, added a sinistral chill to the air.
Lin Xinorth, coughing up blood, crawled out of the car.
Lifting his head, he saw a group of masked assassins ruthlessly slaughtering his bodyguards.
Without a word,
Lin Xinorth quietly prepared to use his extraordinary abilities.
But his expression froze suddenly.
A chilling voice ca from the other side, “No need to waste your efforts, Mr. Lin. I’ve sealed this area with sealing objects. You cannot use any transcendent abilities.”
Lin Xinorth’s heart sank, “How much for my life? Whatever others are paying, I’ll give ten tis more.”
The other party chuckled lightly, “The word on the streets is true, Lin Xinorth conducts business magnanimously. You don’t even ask for our identities and start by naming a price—I’m indeed tempted, but unfortunately… you must die today.”
“Why must it be this way? You know nothing of my wealth,” Lin Xinorth said calmly, covertly reaching for his phone to contact Pei Jinye.
But the enemy moved too quickly, pouncing like a starving tiger, their ferocity causing a tightness in his chest.
A warrior!
Lin Xinorth’s face transford with shock.
Without his extraordinary abilities, he was no match for a warrior.
He had even braced himself to be killed.
But to his surprise, that punch never landed on his face.
“You—” The burly man was equally stunned.
Suddenly, a figure appeared, casually catching his iron fist.
“Boss—”
He heard Lin Xinorth shout with joy.
His heart sank instantly!
The intelligence hadn’t ntioned anyone supporting Lin Xinorth.
“Kill him!”
The surrounding masked assassins reacted, rushing in with furious roars.
Pei Jinye stood alone in front of Lin Xinorth, gripping the burly man’s iron fist with one hand, indifferent to the assassins lunging at them from all sides.
He muttered to himself, “It seems the great war five years ago instilled fear of peak combat power in the Five Continents, otherwise they wouldn’t have set up so many ability fluctuation monitors.”
With a flick of his finger,
bright light flickered.
A flying sword instantly pierced through the heads of the dozen or so assassins.
“Puh-puh-puh—”
Lin Xinorth swallowed back the words of caution he wanted to utter.
The weather had been gloomy before, but now it was a bloody storm… he felt it truly.
“Boss—”
Lin Xinorth stamred as he looked over.
Pei Jinye finished devouring the man’s mory in his hand, casually tossing him aside, a burst of karmic fire incinerating the man completely, then turned to ask, “Where are you injured?”
“Just so external wounds,” Lin Xinorth said with resignation.
Pei Jinye didn’t say much more.
Seeing this, Lin Xinorth cautiously said, “I don’t know who they are, but they’re determined to kill … However, it seems they don’t know of your existence.”
“It’s the Gray Wolf Association from Storm City.”
“The Gray Wolf Association?” Lin Xinorth was stunned, then suddenly rembered, “Three years ago, I inadvertently received internal corporate news. A mber of the Jiang family lost money in Storm City and was detained by the Gray Wolf Association. It was my arranged rescue… behind this.”
He stopped mid-sentence.
Pei Jinye spoke indifferently, “Take down the Gray Wolf Association.”
“Yes.”
“As for the Jiang family…” Pei Jinye started slowly.
Lin Xinorth looked for guidance, “Boss?”
Pei Jinye left him with a final remark before departing.
“Let justice be done properly.”
“Yes!”
