Chapter 412 Assassination

The soul-eating beast had no choice but to nod after hearing this, but still said with some worry: "In that case, no matter what trouble you encounter, young master, you must let me out as soon as possible, so that I can protect you. You must not take any chances."

Zhang Yan nodded when he heard this and said: "Don't worry about this. Don't you understand me yet? When have I ever taken risks? I will only do anything with full confidence. If I encounter anything, If it’s dangerous, I will definitely call you for help.”

"Okay, you'd better go back to the True Dragon Ring and take a good rest. After all, there is Xuanyin Holy Water there, which will also be of great help to your soul." Zhang Yan said with concern.

The soul-eating beast nodded when he heard this and said: "If it weren't for Xuanyin Holy Water, even this soul refining bead wouldn't be able to restore my soul so quickly. Among them, Xuanyin Holy Water helped a lot, then my subordinate Go and rest," the soul-eating beast said as it turned into a ball of black energy and entered Zhang Yan's True Dragon Ring.

After the soul-eating beast woke up, Zhang Yan was also very happy. After all, the presence of the soul-eating beast proved that he had a bodyguard of a powerful martial artist by his side. In this way, Zhang Yan's safety would be greatly guaranteed. Moreover, Zhang Yan is equivalent to having a backer. Otherwise, if he had been alone all the time, Zhang Yan would still be unable to defeat the elders of those sects. In this way, even if the people of Burning Sky Sect seek revenge on Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan won't be afraid of them. With the soul-eating beast here, people with martial master level and below can't hurt Zhang Yan at all.

Zhang Yan sat cross-legged on the bed and continued to practice. This time after this battle, Zhang Yan was able to fully display his Thunder Sword Technique. However, due to his limited cultivation, the Thunder Sword Technique could not be perfect. However, Zhang Yan's strength was much stronger than Yan Ye's. Although the two were similar in Qi training, Zhang Yan's body was ridiculously strong. Moreover, it was not a life and death battle, so Zhang Yan did not use it. If Zhang Yan uses his Tianzong Body Technique plus the Thunder Sword Technique, Yan Ye will not be Zhang Yan's opponent at all.

It's just that the only thing Zhang Yan lacks now is his own cultivation. Now, whether it is body skills or sword skills, Zhang Yan has practiced to the point of proficiency. The only thing Zhang Yan lacks now is his own cultivation. Even if his spiritual power is not enough, Zhang Yan understood the secret of Ben Lei Sword Technique, but he also did not have that much spiritual power to support Zhang Yan's performance. The same was true for Tianzong Movement Technique, but the movement technique was better. Zhang Yan could also perform it with his body, but Ben Lei Sword Technique was also used. Thunder Sword Technique is not enough, so Zhang Yan's top priority now is to quickly improve his cultivation.

So Zhang Yan is practicing the Shura Transformation quickly in the house. At this time, Zhang Yan has already obtained the essence of thunder. As long as Zhang Yan reaches the peak of the ninth level of martial arts, Zhang Yan can activate the Shura Transformation. The third change is that Zhang Yan's strength will make a qualitative leap. By then, Yan Ye may not even be qualified to be Zhang Yan's opponent.

Zhang Yan has been practicing this practice until night, but the moon tonight is relatively round, and there is no dark cloud in the sky. The sky is full of stars, and the moonlight shines on the earth, illuminating the entire yard very brightly.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed from outside the door and came into Zhang Yan's yard. This figure moved very quickly and very lightly. It fell to the ground quietly. There was no trace of Zhang Yan in the room at all. Noticed that he was still practicing with concentration.

This figure first quietly came to Zhang Yan's house. He leaned against the window and looked inside. Through the light in the house, he happened to see Zhang Yan practicing with his eyes closed. This person didn't care so much and just turned on the light. He took out his weapon, a sword that glowed coldly under the moonlight. The man moved with the sword and broke through the window directly. He thought of Zhang Yan on the bed and stabbed him with the sword.

Originally, Zhang Yan didn't notice him at all. After all, Zhang Yan was concentrating on training and didn't care about the outside world at all. But when the window was broken, Zhang Yan suddenly opened his eyes. At this time, he saw only one person. The masked man in black had already come to Zhang Yan with a sword in hand, and saw that the sword was about to stab his neck.

Zhang Yan secretly said something bad, and then quickly used the Tianzong Movement. He suddenly jumped up from the bed. This leap directly broke through the door and arrived in the yard in an instant. Zhang Yan showed his stone sword and pointed towards the house. He looked at it and asked: "Sneaky rats, are you brave enough to come out and fight me face to face?"

As soon as Zhang Yan finished speaking, the figure in the room had already chased him out. The speed of this figure was also very fast, but compared to Zhang Yan's Tianzong movement, it was still a little worse. Otherwise, the sword just now would have been It might have killed Zhang Yan, but this person actually came to Zhang Yan's yard, pointed at Zhang Yan with the sword in his hand and said: "I don't want to talk nonsense to you, you just need to hand over the bead you got during the day. , I can let you go, otherwise you will die here today."

Zhang Yan was stunned when he heard this. He originally thought that some people who had a problem with him would send someone to assassinate him, but this person actually came for the soul refining bead. It seems that this person knew about the soul refining bead, otherwise it would be impossible. I won't take such a big risk to kill people at the residence of Thunder Academy.

And since he knows about the Soul Refining Bead, is this person a remnant of the Soul Refining Sect? Zhang Yan immediately felt his scalp numb when he thought about it. Could it be that all the people from the Soul Refining Sect were really not killed? Anyone else survive? And you still have to continue practicing the Soul Refining Pearl?

Zhang Yan looked at the black figure and snorted: "That soul refining bead was given to me by Elder Lin, why should I give it to you? Besides, a person like you who doesn't even dare to show his face can still hope to get it. Soul refining beads? That’s ridiculous.”

"You actually know about the Soul Refining Bead?" The man in black looked at Zhang Yan in surprise and said, "Since you know about the Soul Refining Bead, you should know what the Soul Refining Bead means. This kind of treasure is not something you can possess. If you have it, please hand it over quickly, otherwise I won’t be polite.”

Zhang Yan snorted and said, "This is Thunder Academy, and there are so many disciples around here. Do you believe that as long as I shout, many people will come to attack you?"

"Since you don't hand it over, then I have no choice but to take action." The man in black was also a little panicked at this time. After all, this is Thunder Academy. As Zhang Yan said, the longer it takes, the worse it will be for him. , since Zhang Yan refused to hand it over, he had no choice but to kill Zhang Yan and then grab the soul refining beads. Otherwise, it would be difficult for others to get there first.

The man in black took action as soon as he said it. He dodged and stabbed Zhang Yan directly with his sword. When Zhang Yan saw the fluctuation of spiritual power on the sword of the man in black, he immediately knew that this man's cultivation level was not simple, at the very least. Zhang Yan, a strong man with martial arts skills, was no match for him. If he wanted to compete with him, he had to call on the soul-devouring beasts for help.

Just when Zhang Yan was about to release the soul-eating beast, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Yan. Then he raised his hand and struck a sword to directly block the sword of the man in black, and coldly He looked at the man in black and said, "Who is so brave that he dares to come to our Thunder Academy to commit murder?"

It seemed to Zhang Yan that the person was Senior Brother Lu Sheng who lived nearby. Lu Sheng had also been waiting for Zhang Yan to complete his training to learn swordsmanship with Zhang Yan, so he had been paying more attention to the activities on Zhang Yan's side, but he happened to hear the sound of fighting. So he came here quickly, just in time to catch up with the man in black who was about to kill Zhang Yan. Lu Sheng directly helped Zhang Yan without thinking.

But what surprised Lu Sheng was that the man in black was quite powerful. It was just the first time the two had fought against each other, but Lu Sheng felt that this man's strength was not inferior to his own, and he couldn't help but look at the man in black with some fear. , asked coldly: "Who are you? Why do you want to come to our Thunder College to kill people? Or are you from Thunder College?"

Hearing this, the man in black looked at Lu Sheng strangely and said, "Who are you? This matter has nothing to do with you. You'd better get out of my way, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

"You don't even know who I am, yet you dare to commit murder here? I think you are tired of living, right?" Lu Sheng said, the sword was wrapped with spiritual power, and then he raised his hand and used the Thunderbolt Sword Technique to rush towards Heilongjiang. The man's vital part was stabbed.

The man in black was also more afraid of Lu Sheng's strength. Seeing the power of Lu Sheng's sword, the man in black did not dare to take it hard. He couldn't help but run away from the wall, but before leaving, he shouted: "Boy, this is It’s something you can’t live without, and sooner or later you’ll regret it.”

"You're here and you still want to run away? What do you think our Thunder Academy is?" Lu Sheng said as he dodged and chased after the man in black. What Lu Sheng used was Thunder Academy's unique skill Thunder Flash, and its speed was also very fast. , disappeared in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Yan could only see an afterimage chasing after the man in black.

However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in Zhang Yan's yard. He looked at Zhang Yan coldly with a knife in his hand and said, "Boy, hand over the Soul Refining Pearl to spare your life."

Zhang Yan was shocked when he saw this. He never thought that someone was not coming to snatch the soul refining beads from him, but that he was trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

However, Zhang Yan still looked at the man in black very calmly and asked coldly: "You are all looking for soul refining beads. Does that mean you are the remnants of the original soul refining sect?"

"For a sect that is so heartless as yours, even if you kill me, I will not hand over the Soul Refining Pearl to you," Zhang Yan said righteously.

The man in black sneered when he heard this and said: "I didn't expect you know quite a lot. You even know about our Soul Refining Sect. However, our Soul Refining Sect cannot be destroyed. As for the loss you mentioned, Tianliang, don’t you warriors kill people? None of you have blood on your hands? You still have the nerve to criticize us? You are just jealous of our skills and want to get our secrets.”

"Actually, you are more sinister and vicious than our Soul Refining Sect. You are the ones who deserve to be eliminated. The existence of our Soul Refining Sect is to eliminate people like you," the man in black said loudly.

Zhang Yan shook his head when he heard this and said: "No, we are different from you. We only kill those who have a grudge. We only kill those who deserve to be killed, but you even killed innocent people. Your massacre is inhumane. Stop making excuses for your greed."

The man in black stopped talking nonsense and directly raised the knife in his hand and slashed at Zhang Yan. After all, he was also afraid of long nights and dreams. This was Thunder Academy. Of course, the sooner Zhang Yan was dealt with, the better.

Zhang Yan saw this huge sword slashing towards him, and couldn't help but flash his figure and quickly used Tian Zong Jue. He appeared outside the wall in an instant, and then Zhang Yan's figure flashed twice on the ground. , when he appeared again, he was already in the woods nearby, but Zhang Yan still didn't stop, and was still running quickly towards the depths of the woods.

When the man in black saw the direction in which Zhang Yan was running away, he couldn't help but sneered and said, "What a fool. You ran into the woods. You are looking for death." As he spoke, he quickly chased after him.

However, at this time, the surrounding disciples were also awakened by the sound of fighting. However, when they came out, they found nothing. Zhang Yan and the others had left long ago, so everyone continued to go back to the house to practice. Some people thought I heard wrongly.

The man in black has been chasing Zhang Yan from behind. He always feels as if Zhang Yan has deliberately slowed down and kept himself at a relatively close distance to him. Whenever he is almost unable to catch up with him, , Zhang Yan suddenly increased his speed again, as if he was deliberately waiting for him to catch up, and as if he was leading himself to run deeper into the dense forest.

Although the man in black guessed that Zhang Yan was deliberately seducing him, he was a martial arts master. How could he be afraid of a little kid with a martial arts master's training? The man in black thought and quickly chased Zhang Yan, but at this moment Zhang Yan suddenly stopped.

Zhang Yan looked around and found that he was now deep in the dense forest. He couldn't help but stop and wait for the man in black behind him. When the man in black arrived, Zhang Yan was waiting for him calmly. Look When he came, Zhang Yan mocked: "You are a warrior with the martial arts level, but your movement speed is so slow. It's really disappointing."

The man in black looked at Zhang Yan coldly and said: "Boy, don't be arrogant here. I admit that your movement speed is indeed very fast, but now that you have run here, there is no one around here, and we don't even have to fight here. Do people know that you are choosing a burial place for yourself?”

Zhang Yan snorted and said, "I did bring you here because there is no one to disturb you, but I didn't choose a burial place for me, but for you."
