Chapter 1205

Chapter 1205 Terrifying Twin Assassins

What Long Chen hadn’t expected was that this seemingly simple black pot was shockingly heavy . It was like a mountain .

“This black pot can’t be ordinary . Fortunately, I came here before its runes completely failed, or it’d also have decayed . ” Long Chen blessed his luck .

Due to how much time had passed, the black pot’s runes had reached the verge of collapsing . Once an item’s runes collapsed, even a King item would become nothing more than scrap metal .

Just now, Long Chen’s spiritual yuan had saved it from the brink . But as for what level of treasure this pot was, he would have to wait until it had recovered to see .

Right now, at best, it could only count as having been given a reprieve from death . Long Chen would need to continuously nourish it for a long time before being able to use it, but he didn’t have that time right now .

The water jar, earthen hearth, black pot, they all made this room look like an ordinary farmer’s house . Pushing open another door, he saw a brick bed . It seemed like there should have been various family tools on the bed, but now there was only a pile of dust .

Long Chen closed his eyes and sensed his surroundings . He sighed . This wasn’t actually an inheritance . It was very likely a childhood memory of this minor world’s master .

It seemed the master of this world had used this small house as a recollection of their memories . That was because Long Chen saw a few piles of dust that seemed to be a child’s toys .

For an ordinary farming family’s child to end up stepping on the path of cultivation and even ascend to the immortal world, their life had to have been marvelous .

But also just from the air of this house, it seemed that this person also had to have been very solitary . They had used the memories of their youth to comfort themselves .

Carefully looking around for a while longer, he didn’t notice anything valuable . He saw some farming tools that should have been King items, but their runes had already lost effect and they had rusted, becoming scrap metal .

Once more walking around and confirming there were no treasures, Long Chen left . He had only just exited the house when he saw two people staring at him .

These two were both Foundation Forging experts who had reached the late stage . A powerful Heavenly Dao pressure came from their bodies, and based on their auras, Long Chen judged them to be rank six Celestials .

Their robes had an immortal character on the front: Zhou, meaning they were from one of the four ancient nations, the Grand Zhou .

“Kill him!” They exchanged a glance and suddenly attacked at the same time . Sword-light struck like lightning as they immediately used killing blows .

Long Chen extended his hands and caught their two swords . He stared icily at them .

The two of them were shocked . They had struck as fast as possible, so they hadn’t been able to store up energy, but this attack was still eighty percent of their peak . Furthermore, their swords were exceptionally sharp, as they were both King items .

But this fellow in front of them, who didn’t even have any Heavenly Dao aura, was able to catch them with his bare hands .

“In your next life, don’t be so greedy . ” Long Chen snorted and pressed forward lightly . The sword hilts in their hands slammed into their chests, directly killing them in body and soul .

Their bodies fell to the ground, their eyes listless and still filled with shock . A fist-sized hole had appeared in their chests .

Taking their spatial rings, Long Chen looked and didn’t see anything valuable inside . The most valuable items were their two weapons .

Putting away their swords, he patted his hands and left the forest . These two experts from the Grand Zhou gave Long Chen a reminder, and he now spread out his divine sense to avoid being sneak attacked .

Xia Yunfeng’s words had been entirely correct . As long it was enticing enough, as long as they were strong enough, an alliance was nonsense . Those two had moved to instantly kill him without caring about those rules .

Right now, the four ancient nations’ experts were spreading out in a net-like pattern from their transportation points in order to search for their own opportunities .

There were many spots they might intersect, but opportunities were not things that people could find just by searching . It would be up to a person’s luck .

“Mandara Grass . ” Long Chen suddenly flew to the peak of a cliff . There was foot-long sawtooth-shaped vegetation there .

This was a ninth tier medicinal ingredient, the Mandara Grass . In truth, it shouldn’t be called medicine, but poison .

It was easily confused with the Mandara Flower, because the two of them looked the exact same . But the Mandara Grass would never bloom .

Without pollination, it would bear its own fruit . But this fruit was like a soybean, and it alternated between red and green . It was highly toxic .

If a person consumed it, their bodies would rapidly inflate until they exploded . But in Long Chen’s eyes, this was divine medicine .

That was because its fruit could cause his cells to rapidly inflate . Normal people weren’t able to endure that, and they would explode, but he was different . He could borrow the Mandara Grass’s power to strengthen his physical body . Then he would be able to keep up with the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art’s power .

Although this kind of strengthening was limited, just increasing the strength of his physical body by ten percent would be good . Otherwise, having the power but not being able to release it would drive him crazy .

It was like a person had ten thousand pounds of strength, but their physical bodies could only endure a thousand pounds of force . They would be unable to bring out their true power in battle, and that was too depressing .

Placing the Mandara Grass into his primal chaos space, Long Chen’s heart suddenly shook, and lightning flashed around him . He looked like he had teleported, appearing thirty meters to the side .

A sword appeared right where Long Chen had been standing . Although Long Chen had reacted in the first moment, the sword still cut across his back, leaving a half-a-foot-long wound . Blood ran down his robes .

This sword had come without any warning at all . It had come noiselessly and without the slightest killing intent . Long Chen had only sensed it right before it pierced his clothes . This was an absolutely terrifying attack that would take a person’s life before they even realized they were in danger .

Long Chen instantly felt a numbing sensation spreading from his back . It was clear this sword had poison applied to it to numb his nerves and slow his movements .

Long Chen had only just flown to the side when another figure appeared beside him like a phantom, slashing his sword at him . Light filled the air .

Long Chen snorted and circulated the primal chaos bead . The sensation of numbness instantly faded, and Blooddrinker appeared in his hands .

Long Chen already knew who his opponents were . With such powerful cultivation bases, with such terrifying assassination arts, and to be even shameless enough to poison their swords, they could only be from the Bloodkill Hall .

Just as Blooddrinker was about to meet that person, Long Chen’s expression suddenly changed, and he smashed his fist to the side .

BANG! A hidden sword was blown away by Long Chen’s fist, and space crumbled, revealing another figure .

When his fist blocked this sneak-attacking sword, the previous sword that was unleashing blazing light into the sky vanished, and another sword stabbed toward his chest from an inconceivable angle .

Long Chen finally realized that the blinding light this person had unleashed had been to block his senses . It hadn’t been the true killing blow .

The worst thing about this attack was how his assailants were seamlessly cooperating . There was simply no way to dodge .

The sword stabbed through Long Chen . The poison on it caused his body to turn numb, with half of it no longer listening to his commands .

At the same time, the energy within the sword was about to erupt within his body . If it did, Long Chen wouldn’t have a corpse left . These two were extremely terrifying assassins .

Their cooperation made it so Long Chen had no way to release his full power .

With this sword stabbing through his body, Long Chen had already lost half his life .

“Die!” Just as the assassin’s power was about to erupt out of his sword, he felt a burst of pain on his forehead . At some unknown point, Long Chen had managed to press his blood-red saber against his forehead .

Long Chen’s current expression was frighteningly calm . He was completely ignoring the sword stabbing through him to kill this person in a suicidal move .

The assassin sneered and moved back . He appeared tens of meters away in an instant, surprisingly giving up on killing Long Chen .

However, just as he retreated, another sword stabbed toward Long Chen’s back . There wasn’t the slightest opening between one sword retreating and one sword attacking . There was no chance to dodge .

But just as that sword was about to pierce Long Chen’s body, a dragon’s roar filled the air and a lightning dragon appeared suddenly, sending that person flying .

Long Chen stood on the lightning dragon’s head, flying into the air . The two of them were stunned at not having killed Long Chen with their combination attack .

“Although I look down on your Bloodkill Hall, I have to admit you really surprise me,” said Long Chen indifferently as he looked at his injury .

“Long Chen, you also surprise us . The two of us have never failed to assassinate a target together before,” said one of them . He slowly took off his hat, and the other one mimicked him . Their movements were the exact same .

“So that’s what it was . Twin brothers with hearts connected, you allow one person to absorb the other’s killing intent so that it can’t be sensed . As a result, your attack truly can’t be blocked . Amazing,” praised Long Chen, resting Blooddrinker on his shoulder .

Although he despised the Bloodkill Hall’s style, he had to admit these twins were terrifying . They had almost killed him .

That wasn’t because he had been careless . His divine sense had been active at all times, and he had been circulating the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art, but he still hadn’t sensed the two of them . That was their true shocking ability .

However, this kind of ability could not be replicated . When one person attacked, the other absorbed their killing intent, making it so even the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art hadn’t been able to sense the attack . That truly was worthy of Long Chen’s praise .

“It seems that since you didn’t immediately flee, you’re confident in a head-on battle? Then before that battle, can you tell me your numbers?” asked Long Chen .

The two of them extended their arms at the same time, revealing two numbers .
