An assassin who was originally besieging Cao Hou, the Junior Tutor to the Crown Prince, attacked Zu'an.
"Seventh rank!"
Seeing the imposing aura of the approaching opponent, Zu An quickly determined the opponent's cultivation level.
He started cursing inwardly. This person was clearly the second most powerful assassin among those besieging Cao Hou. He had actually abandoned Cao Hou and was coming at him instead, and he was even bringing several companions with him. Those people were at least sixth-rank!
Where is your integrity? Shouldn't this force be used against Cao Hou or the Crown Prince? Why are you coming after me?
Actually, this is because he served as the Embroidered Robe Envoy for too short a time and did not understand the concept of a Gold Medal Envoy.
There are only ten gold medal embroidered envoys in the entire embroidered envoy team. In addition to being quick-witted and reliable in handling cases, the most basic requirement for each of them is that they are experts, top experts.
They must be at least seventh rank, and there are even legends of ninth rank.
The Huang Huihong sent to Brightmoon City to capture Zaun was only a silver-rank envoy, which shows how high the status of a gold-rank envoy is.
In the eyes of others, a gold medal envoy was a greater threat than Cao Hou, the Crown Prince's tutor.
After all, they didn't know who this gold medal envoy was. If it were just a ninth-rank official, they wouldn't even need to fight.
Therefore, we can only devote our greatest strength to stopping him.
Zu An didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly exchanged blows with the seventh-rank assassin.
The seventh-rank assassin felt as if the force in his hand had vanished into thin air, and exclaimed in alarm, "Damn it, he's at least an eighth-rank!"
He didn't know that this was the effect of the "Gluttonous Devouring Heaven Technique," and only thought that the other party's cultivation was far superior to his own. Of course, his situation was not like that of a ninth-rank cultivator. If he were a ninth-rank cultivator, he would have already died after this exchange of blows.
They cursed their bad luck, wishing it had been a seventh-rank gold medal envoy instead.
The Crown Prince's side, however, perked up. The Crown Princess's beautiful eyes glanced in their direction, and she thought to herself, "After this matter is over, I must properly thank this person..."
Zu An was also somewhat dazed. Although he knew that his current cultivation level could not be measured by ordinary standards, he had never expected to go head-to-head with a peak seventh-rank expert and not be at a disadvantage at all.
I'm already this strong?
At this moment, two other assassins attacked from the left and right, clearly trying to relieve the pressure on their seventh-rank companion.
Zuan knew these assassins were skilled in killing, so he dared not be careless in the slightest. If he were to be caught off guard and lose, it would truly be a disgrace to the transmigrators.
He was unwilling to reveal himself by using his usual martial arts skills, so he used the "Gluttonous Devouring Heaven Technique". Although it was not as powerful as Wu Geng's palm turning into a black hole, it was able to form a powerful vortex in his palm.
He directly absorbed the vital energy from the assassin's longsword that attacked from the left, and then with a casual twist, he shredded the sharp longsword in the opponent's hand into a twisted mess of scrap metal.
The assassin was shocked and hurriedly retreated, but Zu An would not let such a good opportunity pass. Speed was his forte, and he took a step to his side and struck him with a palm, causing him to vomit blood.
Everyone in the arena was stunned. This person is incredibly strong!
Even the Crown Prince's tutor, Cao Hou, looked at him with surprise and doubt. Who was this Golden Embroidered-Robe Envoy? Why couldn't he see through his cultivation level? His cultivation level didn't seem too high. Could it be that he had reached the state of inner radiance and returning to simplicity, and his cultivation level was far superior to his own, which was why he couldn't see through him?
The Crown Princess's eyes also gleamed with admiration. She wasn't necessarily interested in this embroidered messenger, but having a reliable protector in times of crisis always brought peace of mind.
Seeing the fear and admiration in these people's eyes, Zu'an felt a little smug.
What's the point of spiritual practice? Is it even meaningful if you don't show off?
At the same time, he secretly sighed, "The Gluttonous Devouring Heaven Technique is really useful. It can dissolve the opponent's strength into nothingness, making it impossible for others to detect one's actual cultivation level. It's simply a powerful tool for pretending to be weak while actually being strong."
Of course, he didn't dare to actually use the "Gluttonous Devouring Heaven Technique" to absorb other people's power in front of everyone. He didn't want to become the public enemy of the cultivation world. He could do this secretly.
Qiu Honglei's anger level increased by 123!
...
The system received a series of anger points, which were obviously the emotional fluctuations of these assassins seeing their comrades injured. However, one name in particular made Zaun pause in surprise.
Autumn Red Tears?
Is she in here too?
Zuan immediately looked around, but unfortunately everyone was dressed in black, and the scene was chaotic, making it really hard to tell who was who.
While he was still in a daze, the assassin on the right also attacked.
Zu An dodged the attack with a flash. His main opponent was still that seventh-rank cultivator, who posed too great a threat from the side.
Seeing him charge, the seventh-rank expert unleashed all his skills, truly demonstrating the ability to both attack and defend, thus securing an invincible position.
Zuan frowned and secretly summoned Bai Ming to unleash a mental shockwave on him.
In any case, this seventh-rank expert is definitely not Qiu Honglei, so there's no need to show mercy.
I originally wanted to keep a low profile, but unfortunately, my abilities wouldn't allow it.
Since that's the case, let's pretend to be an expert while we're at it. Anyway, he's wearing a mask now, so no one will know his real identity.
The only concern he had was whether his presence would ruin Qiu Honglei and the others' plans, but unfortunately, that was beyond his control. He could only take it one step at a time and quietly rescue Qiu Honglei later.
The seventh-rank expert was completely unprepared for this. He felt dizzy and his mind went blank. When he came to his senses, he had already been struck by a palm, vomiting blood and falling to the ground.
At that moment, another slender sword thrust at Zuan from behind. It turned out that the assassin he had dodged earlier was attacking again.
