Chapter 86: Elimination
The two groups collided, and a huge tide of spiritual power exploded in an instant.
The ground around the Xuanshui Formation sank nearly ten feet.
On the array, fifty spirit stones were instantly turned into powder and scattered in the wind.
Su Qingwu was quick to act. He quickly waved his sleeves and took out a new batch of spirit stones to replenish them and maintain the operation of the formation.
On the other hand, the enemy's second-tier killing formation was completely shattered in this confrontation. The six flags that made up the formation lost all their spirituality, and cracks of varying degrees appeared on the surface.
Comparing the two, the superiority and inferiority are immediately apparent.
Seeing this scene, the enemy who attacked showed a trace of pain on his face.
He had always been invincible when using this second-tier killing array to fight his enemies, but he didn't expect to suffer a huge loss this time.
Now that the battle flags were almost destroyed, he had lost a powerful weapon against the enemy.
Apart from anything else, the loss of the flag alone has exceeded the reward for this mission.
Although Xizhu Lan offered 400,000 spirit stones as a reward, as a killer of Jueying Tower, he could only get 20% of the mission reward after successfully completing each mission.
The remaining 80% was obtained from the upper floor.
This rule has never been changed since the establishment of Jueyinglou.
A colleague once refused to accept the result and boldly proposed to change the profit sharing ratio, but the result was disastrous.
Recalling what he saw that day, the killer shuddered.
Each of them has taken the Heart-Eating Dragon, and their lives and property are controlled by the owner of the building. No matter how high their cultivation level is in this life, as long as the Heart-Eating Dragon is not eliminated, they will never be able to betray the Jueying Building in their lifetime...
At this moment, inside the Xuanshui Formation, Su Qingwu circulated his spiritual power and performed the Vast Sea Waves Technique and the Ten Thousand Trees Transforming Swords Technique in succession.
The next moment, a torrent rose outside the formation.
On a lake not far away, a huge whirlpool suddenly formed and poured water back toward the land like a dragon sucking water.
The hiding place of the enemies from Jueying Tower was immediately submerged by the flood. They had no choice but to fly into the air, completely exposing themselves.
The searching butterfly that had been following Su Qingwu quietly memorized the enemy's breath at this moment.
Outside the Xuanshui formation, huge waves piled up and attacked the powerful enemy.
After a few breaths, under the influence of the Ten Thousand Trees Transformed into Swords Technique, all wood-attributed objects within a ten-mile radius turned into sharp swords, locking onto the target that was constantly attacked by the huge waves and chopped it down at the same time.
For a while, the sound of whooshing through the air continued.
Feeling the force of this attack, the enemy's expression changed again.
As the most powerful killer in the building, he practiced relatively rare profound techniques and had a good understanding of their properties. He knew exactly how powerful this level of technique would be.
Facing this technique of turning all trees into swords, he made a judgment in an instant that this technique must be of the earth level, or even the heaven level.
In the Moonlight Realm, it can be said that heaven-level and earth-level magic are basically non-existent.
Where did this woman learn this skill? The information that Jueyinglou had previously collected only revealed her whereabouts in recent days, but her identity was not yet known.
Could the person who could master earth-level magic be an ordinary cultivator?
While resisting the attack, many thoughts flashed through the mind of this Jueyinglou killer.
He had a vague feeling that this mission would be his last.
The moment this thought came to his mind, his expression suddenly became extremely ferocious. He looked up to the sky and shouted angrily, then took out an object shaped like a pebble and crushed it. A brown-grey defensive halo suddenly rose around him.
Accompanied by a series of loud bangs, the overwhelming attacks were all blocked without any danger.
Then this person waved his sleeves, and in an instant, many killing moves appeared and attacked the Xuanshui Formation below.
At the same time, his figure disappeared in mid-air. With the help of the secret technique of invisibility, he prepared to leave the battlefield and return to Jueying Building to report his new discovery.
In the Xuanshui Formation, Su Qingwu used multiple spells to block most of the fatal moves. The remaining few fell on the Xuanshui Formation and gradually disappeared into thin air.
Seeing the enemy disappear, she immediately used her mind to search for the butterfly.
A response came quickly from within the country, indicating the enemy's current location.
Su Qingwu immediately flew out of the formation, his escape light rising up, and chased after him, while at the same time transmitting the specific location to Su Wen through telepathy.
The killer from Jueying Tower could only see her, and sensed that she was chasing him, so he took full precautions.
As the Ten Thousand Trees Transformed into Swords Technique was performed again, all the plants and trees within a ten-mile radius turned into swords, and the sharp sword energy accompanied by bursts of strong winds attacked the killer.
The latter responded with all their might, using various defensive measures to resist the attack.
At this moment, Su Wen quietly circled behind the enemy, and taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he suddenly launched the killing move that he had been accumulating for a long time, hitting his crown with a bang.
Su Qingwu took the opportunity to increase the intensity of the attack and attract the enemy's attention.
The next moment, a scream was heard, the enemy's defense was broken, his head was instantly torn into pieces, and his body was directly pierced by the sharp sword and turned into a hedgehog.
After successfully defeating the powerful enemy, Su Wen picked up the blood-stained storage bag from the opponent's waist, returned to the girl in black, and handed it to her.
Su Qingwu probed a little deeper into the consciousness and found that there was not much inside.
The total amount of spiritual stones was ninety thousand, a dagger-shaped, attributeless, top-grade spiritual weapon, three jade slips, two bottles of elixirs, and seventeen talismans.
Apart from these, there was only a jade plate with five words engraved on it: Jueying Tower Yiliu.
When Su Wen saw the jade token, he immediately understood the identity of the enemy.
"I never thought that the Xizhu Lan Clan would actually hire the largest assassin organization in Dongxuanzhou. I guess they couldn't find your whereabouts, so they took this action."
Su Qingwu did not know much about this force. When he heard this, he immediately asked:
"What is the overall strength of Jueying Tower?"
"Assassin organizations like this are usually not included in the ranking of the continent's power. After all, they only accept spirit stones to do things, and their nature is special. They do not participate in any sect or family affairs. If we really want to make a comparison, it is estimated that they are not weaker than the bottom ten powers."
"So, there are quite a few golden elixirs in Jueying Tower?"
"A thousand years have passed, and I don't know what the situation is like now. Anyway, there were a total of seven Jindan cultivators known in Jueying Tower back then."
Having said this, Su Wen immediately added a sentence.
"Jueying Tower only accepts rewards to do things. It is not like a sect or a family that sends people to avenge the death of a companion. If the Lan family stops paying, then this force will not send assassins over."
......
The moment the killer of Jueying Building died, the soul lamp belonging to this person in the building was split in two.
When the person guarding the soul lamp discovered this situation, he immediately reported it to the head of the branch hall.
At that time, in order to get the news as soon as possible, the people of Xizhu Lan's family deliberately left a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building in the Jueying Tower.
Upon learning that the killer he sent out was dead, Lan Hu's face was full of disbelief and he stood up from his seat.
"They are just two Qi-refining monks. How could they kill the foundation-building monks in the building? Is this news true?"
When the branch hall master heard this, his face immediately darkened.
"Are you questioning Jueyinglou?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I just... find it hard to believe."
"Humph, Yiliu who was sent out on the mission is quite powerful. Not to mention Qi Refining, even ordinary Foundation Establishment early and middle stages are no match for him!"
"So... the situation now is..."
"If the target of the mission doesn't have help, then there is only one possibility left. Someone among them has hidden their cultivation!"
At this point, the hall master seemed to sense something, his voice paused, and a look of attentiveness appeared on his face.
