Suddenly, within this sea of magma, an extreme murderous intent surged forth. Taking advantage of Chu Yuan's confrontation with the Golden Flame, it suddenly launched an attack, the angle extremely tricky.
This illusion, mixed in with the magma, struck with perfect timing.
In its hand was a dagger. Its power didn't scatter at all, instead concentrating on one point.
This point was like a strike from the heavens themselves, immediately tearing open the void. Even those in the Void God Realm would face certain death under this figure's assassination attempt, causing utter fear.
"Seeking death!"
Even though this person was well hidden, how could he elude Chu Yuan's realization? He slammed his palm, becoming an endless sea. The golden dragons in the sky shattered, and his palm directly reached for the person trying to ambush.
Boom!
This person, a master in the art of assassination, fearlessly strikes with unmatched determination.
But he chose the wrong person to assassinate.
This person didn't react to Chu Yuan's counterattack at all. In an instant, he was in front of Chu Yuan. His dagger, a divine artifact of royal grade, was transparent, blending into the colors of the void.
"Die."
One could now see his face. His mouth moved as if to utter the word 'die.'
However, Chu Yuan's form was tall and sturdy, unmovable.
He struck down in front of this person. The assassination attempt's powerful impact was completely disintegrated by him. An even stronger force blasted into the assassin.
The smile on the man's face froze as he received the impact, swiftly retreating backwards.
At this moment, the man's face could finally be clearly seen.
He was a young man with a pale complexion. He wore strange clothing that shifted colors like a chameleon. He was even as powerful as a rank five Void God Realm.
He was also a bit puzzled. Despite being in the fifth stage of the Void God Realm and launching a decisive strike, he still hadn't been able to kill Chu Yuan.
"You're very powerful. I didn't manage to kill you."
The man released a soft voice.
His figure immediately disintegrated, preparing to vanish from Chu Yuan's sight.
An unparalleled assassin would never attempt a second strike if the first failed.
"Still want to escape?"
Chu Yuan reached out. Of course, he recognized that the man was using an extremely profound escape technique.
Suddenly, numerous rays of thunderous light slashed down, and under Chu Yuan's control, turned into a cage. With the power of the Void, it forced the man to abruptly stop as if he had hit a wall, his figure once again appearing.
"You dare to attack me, and think you can just leave like that?"
Chu Yuan looked at this man.
Tu Zhen's face finally changed.
He initially thought that with his sincerity, the Emperor in front of him would keep him. After all, he had the power of a level five Void God Realm. There was no reason not to keep him.
"Sire, should you not think this through!?" Tu Zhen roared.
"Indeed, I am recruiting talents, but not every piece of trash is acceptable. In my eyes, you are that trash. An assassin that I have caught is still negotiating terms with me; you're courting death!"
His hand transformed into the power of the Wheel of Life and Death.
With his current realm, it was countless times more terrifying than before.
"You can't kill me!"
Tu Zhen could sense that death was approaching. He activated his mana again and again, trying to escape.
"Nonsense!"
Chu Yuan showed no mercy when striking.
For the people he despised, even level five Void God Realm could be killed, while those he appreciated, even an ordinary person, he would keep.
Him wanting to negotiate terms and demanding elixirs was incredibly stupid.
If Tu Zhen hadn't attempted to assassinate him and instead appeared willingly after Chu Yuan tamed the Golden Flame, Chu Yuan might have kept him.
But that was impossible now.
The Wheel of Life and Death crushed Tu Zhen.
Tu Zhen excelled in assassination and escape but under Chu Yuan's confinement, he couldn't escape. He could only watch as the Wheel of Life and Death crushed into him.
"No!"
Tu Zhen released his last scream.
His flesh and soul were crushed bit by bit.
He was an absolute failure in direct combat, without any power to fight back.
Once crushed into pieces, he was sucked dry by Chu Yuan, completely obliterated.
Only the armor and dagger on him were grabbed by Chu Yuan.
"A level five Void God Realm was so easily killed by him."
Watching as Tu Zhen was killed by Chu Yuan, Ouyang Ming watched in disbelief. This assassin, whom the Eastern Xuan Imperial Court found untouchable, turned out to be so easily killed by Chu Yuan.
And he also saw Chu Yuan's ruthlessness.
When angered, the Emperor decapitates, without any negotiation!
The two characters "Emperor" already explained everything.
"Ding! Host has completed Choice Two, gained 500 Destiny Points, and a blueprint of Shadow Assassin Armor."
