Chapter 177 - Western Breeze Mountain Range


Liu Wuxie smiled bitterly. He didn’t expect these people to be so cautious.

Then again, they had to be vigilant against sneak attacks due to the loss of several junior brothers. The other junior brothers also raised their heads to look at the tree, and they could see Liu Wuxie through the layer of leaves.

Liu Wuxie gently landed on the ground, standing outside the encirclement.

“Who are you, and why are you eavesdropping on our conversation?” The senior brother asked with a hint of surprise because he didn’t expect Liu Wuxie to be so young.

“I was resting here, and you all were the ones to disrupt my rest,” Liu Wuxie said, rubbing his nose. He wasn’t willing to offer much explanation and was about to hit the road as he was almost done resting.

“Hmph, since you’ve been eavesdropping on us, you’ll face the consequences!” The other two youths stabbed their swords at Liu Wuxie.

A cold light flashed in Liu Wuxie’s eyes as they attempted to stir up trouble, and he was visibly irritated.

“Both of you, stop! This could be a misunderstanding!” The senior brother was reasonable as he stopped his two junior brothers from attacking Liu Wuxie. This single action significantly improved Liu Wuxie’s impression of him.

The two junior brothers didn’t dare to disregard their senior brother’s words and withdrew their swords. However, they still remained vigilant.

“My name is Wei Dong, the disciple of the Crimson Flame Manor. How can I address you?”

Liu Wuxie didn’t expect this person to be a disciple of the Crimson Flame Manor. He had heard of Crimson Flame Manor before, and they could be considered a righteous sect with strict restrictions on their disciples.

Liu Wuxie had read numerous books at the Imperial Academy and was aware of the power distribution in the Great Yan Dynasty. The Crimson Flame Manor was located roughly five hundred miles from this place and had hundreds of disciples, and they could be considered a second-tier sect.

“Liu Wuxie, student of the Imperial Academy!” Liu Wuxie cupped his fists together. Liu Wuxie, having a decent impression of Wei Dong, chose to disclose his identity.

Upon learning that Liu Wuxie was a student of the Imperial Academy, the group’s perception of him shifted. The Imperial Academy was the most prestigious institution in the Great Yan Dynasty, and they, due to their aptitude, were not qualified to join.

They might have reached the high levels of the Spirit Cleansing Realm, but they weren’t young. Wei Dong was close to thirty, and everyone else looked in their mid-twenties.

Someone of their aptitude could only be considered ordinary in the Imperial City. But in the Crimson Flame Manor, they were deemed top-tiered disciples. New novel chapters are published on novel(b)in(.)com

“So you’re a student of the Imperial City. My apologies for our rudeness earlier!” Wei Dong said in a polite tone. They didn’t belittle Liu Wuxie because his cultivation was lower than theirs. This was the first time they saw someone reaching the fourth level of the Spirit Cleansing Realm at such a young age.

“Brother Wei, what happened to you all? Why are you all injured?”

After their introductions and the improvement in their relationship, the two who had initially wanted to attack Liu Wuxie promptly apologized.

One day later, Liu Wuxie entered the Western Breeze Mountain Range with the Heretic Blade. He wasn’t guarding against demonic beasts but the Assassin Pavilion’s assassin. He was certain they were in hiding, waiting to ambush him.

“This is the Western Breeze Mountain Range?” Liu Wuxie sat on a huge rock. The mountain range was massive, and it was impossible to reach the other end even if he walked for ten days and nights straight. Trying to investigate the disappearance case was no different from finding a needle in a haystack.

“This is weird. I’ve been walking for so long; where are the demonic beasts?” Liu Wuxie frowned. According to his information, the Western Breeze Mountain Range should be filled with demonic beasts. But he couldn’t even see a bird in sight, not to mention demonic beasts. Just when he sat down, the faint murderous intent appeared once more.

“Show yourself. Don’t bother hiding!” Liu Wuxie’s gaze landed on a large tree about fifty meters away, where a man dressed in black was concealed. The moment the man’s murderous intent slipped, Liu Wuxie had him in his sights.

Caught off guard by Liu Wuxie’s swift detection, the assassin was taken aback. He had been lying in wait for two hours, anticipating Liu Wuxie’s arrival.

A chilling glint flashed in his eyes as he launched a silver dart aimed at Liu Wuxie’s neck. As the dart took flight, the man in black moved with his sword, zeroing in on Liu Wuxie like a deadly viper, intending to strike a lethal blow.

He covered the fifty-meter distance in an instant, determined not to give Liu Wuxie a chance to react.

With a swift swing of the Heretic Blade, Liu Wuxie deflected the silver dart. Simultaneously, a sword was aimed at his neck. The plan was flawless, with every move calculated. Even if he could dodge the dart, he couldn’t evade the sword.

True essence materialized into a pair of wings behind Liu Wuxie as he soared to the sky, dodging the sword that flew past beneath him.

In the blink of an eye, the assassin changed his tactics, tapping his sword on the rock and soaring to the sky with his sword aimed at Liu Wuxie’s sole.

When Liu Wuxie landed on a tree, he suddenly performed a somersault, clashing with the assassin head-on in mid-air.

They exchanged a few hundred moves in a split second, producing a powerful shockwave that swept out like a hurricane. The surrounding trees exploded under the shockwave, producing a flat ground of ten-odd meters.

When Liu Wuxie and the assassin separated, they stood on a tree separately.

The assassin was well masked aside from his eyes. He also had a high cultivation in the second-level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm. To kill him, the Assassin Pavilion had even sent out someone in the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

Silence prevailed. Liu Wuxie knew that even if he managed to capture this assassin alive, he wouldn’t be able to extract any useful information. All of them had undergone special training; failure in their mission equated to death.

Simultaneously, Liu Wuxie and the assassin moved. The clashing of the sword and blade created a thunderous rumble. The aura of the blade and sword left cracks on the ground as they fell.

The strength of this assassin wasn’t any weaker than Qian Kun, and Liu Wuxie would have to spend some effort to kill him.

Then again, Liu Wuxie wasn’t the same person as before. After reaching the fourth-level Spirit Cleansing Realm, his strength had increased by more than a hundredfold.

As the Heretic Blade shifted direction, Liu Wuxie’s blade intent sealed every inch of the surrounding space as he executed the Blood Gleam Blade Art. It seemed virtually impossible for the assassin to penetrate his defenses.

“Die!” Liu Wuxie roared, vanishing into thin air, transforming into a celestial crane soaring through the clouds. The Heretic Blade materialized above the assassin’s head, poised to strike.
