Zhang Ruochens mental strength was incredibly powerful, and he immediately sensed a dangerous aura, alerting him.

  As long as the spiritual power reaches above thirty levels, one can perceive danger ahead of time and sense some blessings and misfortunes that are relatively close in the unknown.

  Zhang Ruochens heart felt a strong sense of unease, his body hair standing on end. He stood up reflexively, startling Zi Cai who was sitting next to him, and immediately retracted the poisonous bee needle from her fingertips.

  "Did he realize how it was possible?"

  Zi Yans heart skipped a beat, and she didnt dare make a move easily.

  Chen Libing saw that Zi Cai did not make a move, his eyes slightly narrowed, and a hint of killing intent flashed in his pupils.

  He hid his fingers in his sleeves and circulated the true energy between two fingers, quietly and soundlessly shooting out a poisonous bee needle.

  It turns out that Chen Libing was sitting right behind Zhang Ruochen, extremely close.

  Moreover, the poisonous bee needle is as thin as a cows hair, flying out from his fingertips. Even the eyes of a Xuanji boundary warrior cannot see the trajectory of the poisonous bee needle.

  If he was stung by a poisonous bee needle, Zhang Ruochen would definitely die.

  But what surprised Chen Libing was that Zhang Ruochen unexpectedly pinched the poisonous bee needle with his hand.

  To know, from start to finish, Zhang Ruochen never turned around, as if he had eyes on his back, and with just a flick of his arm, he stretched out two fingers and accurately pinched the poisonous bee needle.

  "Its impossible, even if it were a martial artist who had reached the pinnacle of mastery, it would be impossible to detect the poisonous bee needle at such close range, let alone catch it." Chen Leyis heart was greatly shocked.

  He didnt know that Zhang Ruochen possessed a spatial domain, within which everything within a radius of ten meters couldnt escape the perception of his martial soul.

  Just as Zhang Ruochen sensed danger, he immediately stood up and released his spatial domain.

  Zhang Ruochen pinched the poisonous bee needle, turned around, and stared at Chen Leibing with a slightly cold gaze. "Poisonous bee needle, no wind, no sound, kills people without a trace, sees blood and seals the throat. You are a professional killer."

  Chen Libing knew his identity was exposed, so he made another move. He pinched the hilt of his sword and with a whoosh, a beam of sword light flew out from his sleeve, stabbing towards Zhang Ruochens heart at lightning speed.

  A sword in the sleeve

  A sword hidden in ones sleeve.

  The sword body is slender like a fish intestine.

  Chen Libing, although only a late-stage Xuanji Realm cultivator, had once assassinated a Xuanji Realm minor extreme expert and his attainments in swordsmanship were extremely profound.

  One sword in hand, thirteen sword shadows appear.

  In an instant, the sword tip reached Zhang Ruochens heart.

  Next to him, many people let out cries of surprise.

  Xie Chang Lao, who was sitting cross-legged on the head of the Blood Feathered Eagle, suddenly let out a loud shout: "How dare you!"

  "Whoosh"

  A sword energy flew out from Senior Xies hand and passed over Chen Liubings body.

  Chen Libings mouth let out a dull hum, his body convulsed once, and he fell straight onto the back of the Blood Feather Eagle.

  Liu Chengfeng placed his finger on Chen Libings nose and said with a serious expression: "Hes already dead."

  Everyones gaze turned to Elder Xie.

  Xie Changlaos cultivation was too powerful, and with just one sword, he killed a late-stage Wujing cultivator. Moreover, Chen Libings body had no wounds, which was very strange.

  Xie Zhanglao sheathed his sword and gazed coldly at Chen Libings corpse, saying: "He used poisonous bee needles and a sleeve-fish intestine sword. He must be an assassin from the Di Fu Men. The Di Fu Men have always wanted to plant assassins in the Wu Shi Xue Gong, but I didnt expect to encounter one today. His death is well-deserved."

  Then, Xie Zhanglao turned his gaze to Zhang Ruochen and asked: "What kind of person are you that the underworlds door killer wants to kill you?"

  Zhang Ruochen had not spoken yet, when Liu Chengfeng spoke first: "Xie Shu, he is the ninth prince of Yunwu State, and can be called a martial arts prodigy."

  "Martial Arts Prodigy"

  Xie Zhang carefully sized up Zhang Ruochen, who was 16 years old and had reached the initial stage of Xuanji Realm. He indeed qualified as a martial arts prodigy. However, he was far from being a martial arts genius.

  The martial arts prodigy of Yunwu County, Xie Changlao had only heard of one person who could achieve such a feat - the seventh son of the King of Yunwu County, who reached the Xuanji Realm at just twelve years old.

  The ninth prince before him was far inferior to the seventh prince. In the eyes of Xie Changlao, even Zi Qian was more talented than Zhang Ruochen.

  After glancing at Zhang Ruochen, Xie Changlao withdrew his gaze and ordered: "Throw the corpse of that killer from the Gate of Hell into the Blood Feather Eagle."

  After saying this, Elder Xie closed his eyes again and didnt say another word.

  "Its really strange, I clearly saw a sword aura slash through his body, why didnt it leave any scars?" a martial artist exclaimed in surprise.

  Liu Chengfeng sneered and said, "Do you know what Xie Shus cultivation is? Its the Ling-level lower-grade martial skill Shattered Heart Sword Technique. Moreover, he has already cultivated this technique to its peak. The killer only cuts off the heart, and after death, there wont be a drop of blood. If you dont believe me, go touch the killers heart."

  A warrior went to touch Chen Libings heart, but found that Chen Libings heart had already been torn in two.

  Zi Yan and Chen Libing were both genius assassins of the Netherworld Gate, but assassins rarely interact with each other. Therefore, their relationship was not deep, and after Chen Libings death, Zi Yan did not show any emotional response, appearing very calm.

  "Its lucky I didnt make a move just now, or else it would have been me who died."

  Zi Yan glanced slightly at Zhang Ruochen, until now, she couldnt guess how Zhang Ruochen caught the poisonous bee needle thrown by Chen Libing.

  Only those at the Earth Extreme Realm can hear the sound of Poisonous Powder Needles breaking through the air with their extraordinary hearing. Also, only those at the Earth Extreme Realm can dodge Chen Lie Bings poisonous bee needles.

  Zhang Ruochen is naturally not a strong person in the Land of Extreme North.

  He must be hiding some unspeakable secrets, and before uncovering these secrets, its absolutely impossible to kill him lightly. Once failed, its very likely that he will die unjustly just like Chen Leibing.

  For Zǐ Qiàn, the main task is to infiltrate the interior of the Di Fū Mén. As for assassinating Zhāng Ruò Chén, if it succeeds, that would be best and she can get a generous reward. If it fails, there wont be too much impact.

  If Zi Yan cant kill Zhang Ruochen within a month, the underworld will naturally send an even more formidable assassin.

  "Chen Libing is dead, and my identity will be even safer. I absolutely cannot reveal it easily." Zi Qian said quietly.

  Chen Libings body was thrown down from the Blood Feather Eagle, and everyone began to discuss the Gate of Hell. Many people had a look of dread on their faces.

  The Gate of the Underworld is located in Yunwu County, and it also extends to the nine counties west of the ridge. It belongs to a powerful killer organization like Giant Slayer. Once assassinated a county king of a county country, and succeeded. At that time, it caused a huge sensation, and since then, the reputation of the Gate of the Underworld has spread.

  Anyone who is assassinated by the Gate of Hell rarely lives for more than a month.

  Liu Chengfeng said: "Your Highness, the Ninth Prince, dont worry. As long as you enter the Wushi Academy, even if the assassins from the Gate of Hell have divine powers, they will absolutely not be able to harm you."

  "I hope so," Zhang Ruochen said with a smile.

  The killer at the Gate of Hell, if he can infiltrate among the examinees, then he must also be able to infiltrate the Wushang Academy. Zhang Ruochen didnt believe that the Wushang Academy was absolutely safe.

  Just like before, the killer from the Gate of Hell was sitting right behind him, and he didnt even notice. If his spiritual power hadnt reached above thirty levels and cultivated a spatial domain, he would have definitely become a dead man by now.

  To invite a top-notch killer from the underground world, you would have to pay an extremely high price.

  No need to guess, Zhang Ruocheng already knew that it must be related to Queen Wang.

  "When my cultivation reaches the Tianji boundary, I will definitely go back and settle this old account with her." Zhang Ruo Chen clenched his five fingers tightly, and two cold glints appeared in his eyes.

  Tianmo Ridge is an ancient mountain range, stretching for 120,000 miles, with vast territories and abundant spiritual energy, just like a giant dragon lying across the northern part of Yunwu County.

  Baozhuang Yunwu Prefecture is located inside, with thirty-six prefectures surrounding the outer periphery of Tianmo Ridge, just like a multitude of stars surrounding the moon.

  Tianmo Ridge, the territory of the barbarous beasts, where hundreds of millions of them live in the vast mountains. The thirty-six states and counties send large troops every year to garrison the border adjacent to Tianmo Ridge, preventing the barbarous beasts from running out of Tianmo Ridge and slaughtering the poor people of the human race.

  Some large sects were almost all established on the outskirts of Tianmo Ridge.

  One is to resist the invasion of barbaric beasts into the human kingdom; the other is to make it more convenient for the disciples in the door to practice.

  The Wu City Academy was also established on the outskirts of Tianmo Ridge.

  The Blood Feather Eagle carried everyone flying over the Wushu Academy, and everyone was stunned by the scene below.

  At a glance, the ground is covered with dense ancient buildings, including glazed ancient pagodas built in deep valleys, pavilions built on cliff edges, and martial arts platforms built on mountain peaks.

  Even before entering Wumishu Academy, one could already feel a majestic aura that was overwhelming.

  Xie Zhanglao stood up from the back of the Blood Feather Eagle, took out a token and said loudly: "I am Xie Nantian, who is in charge of guarding the formation and has not quickly opened the formation gate?"

  A young man in his early twenties, standing on the back of a two-headed swan, flew up from the ground and said: "Greetings, Master Shifu. This year, there are only a few examinees from Yunwu County, but Master Shifu has brought back more than 600 examinees from all over the four counties, among whom several are top-notch martial arts geniuses."

  As they spoke, a young man slightly raised his hand towards the ground and let out a long whistle.

  In the Wu City Academy, seven glazed high towers in seven directions rose from the top of the tower, and seven beams of light converged to form a huge array.

  Rumbling

  At the edge of the formation, a hundred-meter-long illusory gate of light was opened.

  The Blood Feather Eagle carried the sixty-seven examinees from Yunwu County, flying into the Void Light Gate and heading towards a white stone plaza built in the mountain valley.

  The Blood Feather Eagle flew into the Wu City Academy, and the light on top of the seven glazed high towers immediately disappeared. With a loud crash, the Void Light Gate vanished instantly.
