Chapter 893: Chapter 45: Ambush and Counterambush, Zhao Xing’s Backup Plan!
Why isn’t he following the routine?
Wasn’t it said that he was demoted for cursing Prince Liang in the past? Wasn’t it said that his character was fierce?
"Hmph~ Seems like your backbone isn’t that strong either." Jin Ye Wang placed the sword on his shoulder and flew over, reaching for Zhao Xing. "Then come with us."
"Gentlemen, I can fly by myself." Zhao Xing seemed somewhat frightened, "Please, gentlemen, don’t harm me."
Jin Ye Wang and Ice Xuan King, seeing Zhao Xing in such a manner, felt even more disdain.
Ice Xuan King mocked, "Liu Tianning sure has taken in a good disciple."
"Hahaha, then let’s descend."
Jin Ye Wang and Ice Xuan King promptly descended to Fengye Villa on the ground with Zhao Xing.
"Mr. Gu, we have completed the task and captured Zhao Xing alive."
Jin Ye Wang couldn’t help but report joyfully.
"Oh?" Mr. Gu appeared at the door.
As he saw Zhao Xing surrounded by the two, his expression changed immediately.
"Swish~"
Unexpectedly, Mr. Gu, without saying a word, grabbed the nearby priest and made a run for it.
He didn’t even have the mind to give a warning!
Not willing to waste a single moment of escape time!
"Mr. Gu...you?" Ice Xuan King and Jin Ye Wang were both stunned.
Tian Jue Daoist also realized and instantly burrowed underground.
Zhao Xing took advantage of their moment of stupor and quickly fled as well.
In the blink of an eye, only Ice Xuan King and Jin Ye Wang were left in the courtyard.
"Damn it!"
Ice Xuan King and Jin Ye Wang also came to their senses and immediately went to grab Zhao Xing.
However, at that moment, moonlight from above spilled onto the two.
The rain had stopped at some unknown time.
A beam of moonlight instantly pierced through Ice Xuan King.
"What?!" Jin Ye Wang was stopped.
"Moon?!" In Jin Ye Wang’s view, seeing the enlarged moon, his expression changed drastically, and he swung his dual knives at the moon.
"Block? This sword carries the power of three hundred years, can you block it?!"
From the moon, a dominating voice echoed.
Jin Ye Wang suddenly saw a silhouette standing on the continuously enlarging moon.
"Bright Moon Prefecture Master! It’s you!!" Jin Ye Wang roared, realizing it was a setup!
"Block it for me!"
Jin Ye Wang’s hair stood on end, his twin blades carrying a misty golden light, the Geng Metal True Intent intertwining, continuously slicing the approaching sword intent.
His speed was extremely fast, entirely at the level of a Third Grade Peak!
Yet he simply couldn’t shatter this moon.
He only lasted three breaths before being completely crushed by the moon.
"Pfft!"
A moonbeam fell, and Ye Yuxong appeared behind Jin Ye Wang, his hair fluttering.
The moon phenomenon quickly disappeared.
In Jin Ye Wang’s eyes, it was the moon that killed him, he was just a moment away from blocking it.
However, from an outsider’s perspective, Jin Ye Wang’s sword hadn’t struck anything from the start to finish.
Even his last two sword techniques were instinctively executed post-mortem.
Before this, he was already dead.
"Hmph, the true intent of Third Grade Martial Arts, it’s merely within the rules." Ye Yuxong sheathed his sword.
Then he quickly pursued in Zhao Xing’s direction: "Zhao Xing, stop running... huh?"
Ye Yuxong was surprised to find that, momentarily, he couldn’t catch up with Zhao Xing.
"What spell is this? Such speed."
Only seeing Zhao Xing flicker among the thunder clouds, within a few breaths, he had widened the gap.
"Even without Bright Moon Body Technique, I can’t catch up?" Ye Yuxong muttered, "No wonder they sent a Third Grade Peak team to kill him."
...
As the assassination and counter-assassination in Dang County unfolded.
Zhao Xing’s clone approached Sima Yunhai.
"Mr. Sima, someone wants to kill me. The assassination group arrived at Bright Moon Prefecture twelve days ago and I am currently fleeing in Dang County, estimated Third Grade Peak, with five people total."
"What?" Sima Yunhai was shocked. "I’ll come to assist you immediately!"
"No, teacher." Zhao Xing shook his head. "I’m informing you not to seek rescue."
"I entered the top hundred of the Heavenly Fate Golden List, which inevitably caught the attention of Prince Liang. I suspect the reason is my thesis on the Great Circulation Theory."
"Even if you can save me this time, teacher, it would be temporary. I hope you can report the situation to Xuantian Academy."
"Understood." Sima Yunhai immediately returned to the building ship, "I will inform the Academy right away."
"Thank you, teacher." Zhao Xing cupped his hands.
Within Xuantian Academy, there are many factions, Sima Yunhai is a high-ranking member of the ’Yun Sect’.
......
Zhao Xing’s clone in Tianyuan Prefecture also suddenly stopped writing.
"Mr. Hu, I cannot continue calculating."
"Hmm? What’s wrong?" Hu Yang was puzzled.
"My true self is targeted by traitors in Prince Liang’s camp, currently pursuing me."
"Because of my arithmetic section in the Great Circulation Theory exposing the entrance of one of the passages." Zhao Xing said, "I now cannot spare any focus, I must concentrate on escape."
"What?!" Hu Yang was shocked, then sternly said, "Alright, Chen An, find a safe place quickly, protect yourself!"
"I will report immediately! I will make sure you are unharmed!"
Hu Yang primarily practices Hou Transformation Technique.
In Xuantian Academy, the Marquis Transformation Sect has always been the largest force, because there are three known Ultimate Transformation Skills with inheritance.
Zhao Xing’s "Three Yin and Three Yang Six Qi Great Cycle Theory" initially became famous for measuring transformation methods, thus catching the attention of the higher-ups.
Now Zhao Xing can also solve the Military Realm Passage issue, how could Hu Yang tolerate such talent being lost to Prince Liang?
He instantly turned into a golden bird and set out rallying support.
