C1688 Another assassination attempt
The sudden attack made Chu Yun feel fear in his head.
He was covered in cold sweat.
This strike was meant for his own life!
In that instant, his mind drifted, as if he thought back to the time in TaiGan Continent when he invited the former number one assassin, Xiao You, to assassinate him.
That time, all his trump cards were useless under the true assassination attempt.
One move and he would die.
If it wasn't for the Heaven's Mandate Holy Pellet, giving him his second life in time, he probably wouldn't have heard of such stories in the future.
So from then on, Chu Yun had especially valued his life.
No matter how much of a heaven's pride expert you are, what can you do?
In this world, there will always be people stronger than you.
If someone else wanted to kill you, they would have waited in ambush for a long time, using an absolutely powerful method to strike you with lightning strikes and taking your life. What method could you possibly have?
Can you foresee this?
No one was a prophet.
Even if Chu Yun was proficient in deduction techniques and could occasionally sense danger approaching him, it was not something that could be used anytime and anywhere.
For example, this time.
Evidently, the enemy's battle power had far exceeded his expectations.
Even his estimation of the danger had no effect.
What should he do?
Before Chu Yun could think of what to do, the attack had already arrived.
"Brat, do you really think that just because you've climbed onto a high branch, you aren't a chicken anymore?"
A cold voice sounded beside his ears, and then the blade silently stabbed into Chu Yun's back.
The angle was very accurate and very tricky.
This was a situation where he would be killed in one move!
"Pfft!"
After the blade pierced through, it did not penetrate Chu Yun's body.
The figure could clearly feel that the hearty piercing sensation he had imagined did not appear. A wave of blocking power evidently shot out from Chu Yun's body, shaking his wrist until it was slightly numb.
He was very surprised.
It was even somewhat unbelievable.
He possessed five zigzag s, but they were still unable to break through his defense.
This brat, his entire body was filled with treasures!
"There's actually such a powerful Spirit Weapon?"
The voice suddenly withdrew his hand, and slashed out towards Chu Yun's neck.
I was wearing a defensive spirit weapon, so I didn't expect this to happen. However, I will chop off your neck with my second blade. I don't believe that you can still block it!
You only have two zigzag.
And I have five!
If I kill you with all my might, would I fail?
After I succeeded, I fled thousands of miles away.
Do things without leaving any trace, who knows it's me?
If you want to blame someone, you can only blame your bad luck.
With this little bit of strength, why are you still acting so arrogantly?
Before the blade had slashed down, the jade pendant hanging around Chu Yun's neck suddenly released an extremely shocking light aura. The figure let out a blood-curdling screech, but his voice suddenly stopped.
That was because his entire body had melted into the light.
He didn't even make a sound.
Chu Yun was a little stunned. He turned around and realized that there was nothing in the air.
If not for the remnant Qi and smell that he still had, Chu Yun would have thought that he was dreaming from the beginning to end.
He stretched out his hand and touched the spot where he had been stabbed. It was the robe of the Nine Mystical Sovereign that had saved his life.
Otherwise, he would have been pierced through and his soul would have been destroyed.
Ever since he had obtained the robe, Chu Yun had been wearing it closely because he was afraid that something might happen and he didn't even have a life-saving card up his sleeve.
It was fortunate that he had the foresight to do so.
Otherwise, he really would have died.
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Chu Yun picked up the jade pendant and muttered to himself.
The Ranker who made a move just now, based on his own knowledge of the hermit, should be somewhere between five to six lines. He could definitely be considered to be a strong Ranker, yet he was waiting here in ambush for him.
After meeting each other, he didn't say much. The first thing he did was to use his killing move!
How ruthless!
Who could be trying to kill him?
Without even thinking about it, there were only two possibilities for him to send out such a powerful expert.
The first, was The Spirit Dust Star Domain.
Second, was that the mastermind behind Song Zeliu's assassination.
As for General Ye and Zuo Wen, even though Chu Yun had defeated them many times, at this critical juncture, even if they were to be angry in their hearts, he would absolutely not dare to take revenge.
What a joke.
With Chu Yun's current identity, only those ignorant and fearless would dare to offend him.
The Zuo and the General's clans were all powerful. No one dared to sacrifice their lives for a hero. They didn't represent themselves, but they represented the entire Gu clan!
"The Spirit Dust Star Domain, and the person behind the scenes, let's slowly play!"
A hint of ruthlessness flashed past Chu Yun's eyes.
Do you really think I'm a sick cat if a tiger doesn't show off?
He decided that whenever there was a gap in between, he would rack his brain and think about how to eliminate The Spirit Dust Star Domain.
In the future, we'll slowly play!
Following that, Chu Yun did not head towards the The Spirit Dust Star Domain again. Although the jade pendant had saved him once, he did not know how to activate it.
Therefore, just to be safe, Chu Yun chose to take a detour.
In this way, the journey would take an entire day.
Finally, he found a star field with a large teleportation formation, and used the teleportation formation to hurry to The Realm of the Emperor Phoenix.
After returning to the Zi Xian Palace, Chu Yun took a deep breath, and was no longer on tenterhooks.
F * ck.
It was hard to be watched all day.
Tang Zixian walked over, and when she saw Chu Yun's battered appearance, she couldn't help but be shocked: "You, what's going on?"
"On the way, I was assassinated by a Five Striped Titled Martial Saint. I was lucky enough to survive."
Chu Yun clenched his fists tightly, a sinister look flashing past his eyes.
After experiencing this, his determination to become stronger had been completely strengthened.
"Someone actually tried to kill you?"
Tang Zixian's expression changed. The assassination of the Five Striped Titled Sovereign was not a joke.
Who could actually kill him in such a painful manner?
"If it wasn't for this jade pendant that my father-in-law gave me, you probably wouldn't have been able to see me."
Chu Yun laughed bitterly, and pointed to the jade pendant on his neck.
Tang Zixian glanced at it, then curled her lips: "This jade pendant can block three killing strikes in total, as long as there are no more than fifteen zigzag, you can block them all, it's such a waste, to think that it was actually used up by a Five Striped Conferred Elder."
Chu Yun said helplessly: "Being able to live, is already an extremely difficult task."
"I'm giving you the zigzag. Take your time to refine it. Perhaps in three or five days, the war will begin!"
Tang Zixian was originally very worried, but after seeing that Chu Yun was alright, she finally relaxed.
Chu Yun stood up, and grabbed Tang Zixian, and raised her eyebrows: "It's better if we don't have a new marriage, why is my wife in such a hurry? My husband does have a few moves, I wonder if my wife would be willing to spar with him! "
"Scram!"
Tang Zixian frowned, but her tone was not firm.
Chu Yun was very thick-skinned and would naturally not let go of such an opportunity.
Tang Zixian gave a few symbolic rejections, but Chu Yun tried his best to move closer, so he could only give up after seeing this.
Inside Zi Xian's hall, a dozen or so female attendants withdrew themselves as if nothing had happened, and did not forget to close the door before they left.
Chu Yun opened his eyes and could only feel himself sleeping soundly, and couldn't help but stretch.
Turning around, he saw that Zi Xian was not around. She must have gone to cultivate.
She was really, not idle for a moment.
"Young Master, this is a big bowl of chicken soup that was meticulously made using more than ten types of spiritual medicines."
A servant walked in with chicken soup in her hand, while sizing up Chu Yun.
She had just arrived, so she was naturally very curious about this new Young Master.
Tsk, handsome indeed.
No wonder he was able to conquer the heart of the young miss.
Chu Yun picked up the chicken soup and drank a few mouthfuls. He felt that it was extremely delicious, and there was dense spiritual energy within it that was currently flowing into his throat, nourishing his limbs and bones.
Just this bowl of soup would probably be equivalent to half a year of Drunk Dream Pavilion's income!
It couldn't be helped, even the most famous place in the TaiGan boundary that sold gold could not even compare to The Realm of the Emperor Phoenix's bowl of soup!
Chu Yun was so reluctant that he wasted it, and even drank all of the last drop.
Afterwards, he returned the bowl to his hands and let out a long sigh of relief. He felt the energy in his body surge, ready to make a move. He even wanted to fight again.
"Young Master, the lord said to make a trip to the Royal Palace when you wake up."
The maid said respectfully.
"What's the matter?"
Chu Yun muttered in his heart, but suddenly he slapped his head, and thought about the Wine Sword Immortal Card.
This was a good opportunity.
Whether or not it was a good opportunity to test Tang Chongzhen!
If he was willing to gift the Wine Sword Immortal's card to him, then it would mean that he was 90% of the Dragon Cavalry.
If he had never mentioned this matter to anyone, it would mean that he was not a Dragon Cavalry.
He definitely had to keep it and refine it himself.
Of course, this couldn't be said to be 100% accurate. After all, there were other possibilities.
He only said that it was a rather reasonable guess.
Thinking about it, Chu Yun nodded and said: "I got it, you go down first. I'll change my clothes, I'll go right away."
The maid nodded obediently and left the room.
Chu Yun changed into a new set of clothes, feeling a bit hot from the bottom of his heart.2
If his father-in-law really was a Dragon Cavalry, then that was awesome!
The three identification cards of the endless starry sky were all in the hands of his family!
Just the thought of it made him excited.
Arriving at the palace, the guards at the entrance saw that it was Chu Yun. Not only did they not stop him, they respectfully bowed, "Young Master."
Chu Yun nodded and walked in.
This time, Tang Chongzhen did not sit behind the aura of primal chaos. Instead, she placed her hands behind her back and stared blankly at the window.
"Son-in-law greets father-in-law."
Chu Yun had long gotten used to being thick-skinned. If others called me Young Master, wouldn't that mean they recognized my identity?
Although Zi Xian and I have yet to have a big wedding, it isn't too much to call you father-in-law, right?
No, even if it's too much, I still have to shout.
Tang Chongzhen turned and stared at Chu Yun with a serious expression. The look in her eyes was different than usual, it had some meaning, causing Chu Yun to twist and turn her body, she felt uncomfortable.
Just then, Tang Chongzhen asked.
"Chu Yun, are the three zigzag that I gave you still effective?"
