This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!

Chapter 73 Heretical Demons and Evil Paths_2



Upon hearing these words, the breathing of the people present became significantly heavier.

"Raising the price" was merely a euphemism, as any killer organization capable of assassinating someone at the Tao Foundation Stage wasn't just short on money, but also on those precious resources monopolized by various powers:

Elixirs, Implants, Protective Clothing, Abnormal Weapons, Secret Manuals...

The initial offer made by the Lu Family was already quite generous, or else these people wouldn't have risked the danger of killing an Imperial Envoy for the task.

To double the original offer would mean an astronomical sum if it were to be converted into money!

And many of these items could not be purchased with money at all.

This couldn't help but make the leader of the killer organization somewhat dubious:

"Can the employer afford this price? How are they guaranteeing it?"

"The client has made two 'deposits,' paid through two different channels. Our people have confirmed it, there's no issue."

Subordinate responded.

"Two different channels."

The killer leader pondered for a moment and immediately understood the trickery within.

Clearly, the employer behind him had just brought in two new employers, both of significant status.

"It seems that this person who offended the annals of history has quite a few powerful enemies."

The killer leader said.

"Moreover, the employer wants us to use the Daluo Sect's hand to kill as much as possible."

The subordinate brought up another point.

"Um."

The killer leader thought, "Follow the second plan."

As his words fell, the subordinates behind him quickly charged towards the village below.

"Xu Dog, are these people enough?"

The killer leader inquired of the only subordinate still remaining.

"No martial artists, too little blood energy, barely enough."

Subordinate code-named 'Xu Dog' spoke with a disdainful tone.

Then, enviously, he said, "I heard that Qingxu True Monarch of the Daluo Sect sacrificed hundreds of thousands of people this time! If I could blood sacrifice hundreds of thousands at once, I would definitely step into the 'True Spirit Realm'!"

The killer leader scoffed, "And then what? Even Qingxu True Monarch has died, how long do you think you would live?"

"F*ck!"

Xu Dog cursed, "When can we legit kill people in broad daylight?"

"If you had the power of the Ancestral Ghost of the Underworld, you could."

The killer leader casually remarked.

The Ancestral Ghost of the Underworld was a notorious demon in the World.

'One Supreme Peak, Three Evil Demon Lords, Five True Monarchs, Seven Martial Saints,' the Ancestral Ghost of the Underworld was one of the 'Three Evil Demon Lords,' a pinnacle powerhouse who had stepped into the 'True One Realm'!

In the way of the Taoists, the 'True Spirit Realm' corresponded to True Master, and the 'True One Realm' to True Monarch.

However, the Ancestral Ghost of the Underworld was an Evil Cultivator, who could never be recognized by the Taoist way and was infamous, so no one would call him True Monarch, choosing instead to call him 'Old Demon of the Underworld.'

Only those of the evil paths in the World would address him as Ancestor.

After hearing his boss's words, Xu Dog curled his lips:

"If you ask me, Ancestral Ghost of the Underworld hasn't killed as many people in his life as Qingxu True Monarch did in that one Blood Sacrifice, who is the real evil demon? Pah, how can the Taoists still dare to claim themselves as the righteous path?"

"The one with the bigger fist is the righteous path."

The killer leader said indifferently.

While they were talking, the tranquility of the village below had already been shattered.

The robed figures who had dashed down earlier rounded up all the villagers.

To intimidate these villagers, the robed figures even took some lives, leaving behind more than a dozen bodies!

A moment later, the robed figures made the two hundred or so villagers of the village arrange themselves according to specific positions.

Then they stuck some Talisman Paper on the ground, completely enclosing these villagers.

"Begin."

The killer leader commanded.

Xu Dog rolled up his sleeve and a blood-red glow flew out, heading towards the village below.

It was a skull, the white bones marked with blood-red lines.

As the skull hovered over the village, the previously placed Talisman Papers burst into flames.

"Ah ah ah ah—"

The villagers surrounded by the Talisman Papers immediately experienced insufferable headaches and let out agonized wails.

Soon after, these villagers became weak in their hands and feet, losing all their strength and collapsing one by one onto the ground.

These villagers wailed miserably for a good forty minutes, in such pain that they were close to death. Blood oozed from their seven orifices until eventually, they didn't even have the strength left to cry out.

Standing on the hillside, Xu Dog nodded: "You may proceed now."

Thus, the robed figures who had been circling the perimeter began to move, slicing open the bodies of the villagers lying on the ground, spilling their guts.

Blood and entrails lay scattered everywhere, and a thick smell of blood permeated the entire village.

The skull that had been floating in the air suddenly shined brightly with a surge of bloodlight. Then the blood from below was sucked up by an invisible force and flew towards the skull in the sky, merging into it.

A few minutes later, all the blood from the corpses on the ground had been drained, turning them into a pile of dry mummies.

Xu Dog retracted his magic artifact back into his sleeve.

"How is it?"

The leader of the killers asked.

Xu Dog: "I can barely activate the Curse Formation once."

"That's enough."

The leader of the killers nodded his head.

For a normal mission, he wouldn't have Xu Dog do something like this, slaughtering an entire village was just too conspicuous.

But this time the mission they'd taken on was to kill an Imperial Envoy.

Having killed an envoy, slaughtering a village was nothing in comparison.

Besides, tens of thousands of people in Ming Province had already died, what's a few hundred more?

This team had a resounding name in the World — the Twelve Xiao!

The core members consisted of twelve individuals at the Tao Foundation Stage or Possession Stage!

Most of these twelve core members were from the Demon Path.

So-called Demon Path martial artists either plunder other martial artists' mature Implants for cultivation.

Or they are Evil Cultivators, whose Magic and Magic Artifacts are primarily focused on harming others.

Like Xu Dog's 'Blood Vengeance Skull, the Implant inside requires human blood to grow.

Just now, he conducted 'Sacrificial Training' on the couple hundred villagers below, absorbing their resentment, fear, pain, and blood to store a formation within the 'Blood Vengeance Skull.'

The Twelve Xiao was a killer group with a notorious reputation, surviving till now because they were strong enough.

They had killed more than one individual at the Peak of the Tao Foundation Stage!

If a Martial Arts Master or True Master could emerge in this team, their overall strength could immediately rival those of the great sects of the World!

Lu Wenzheng hiring these people to kill Li Fei was definitely not taking him lightly.

As for Martial Arts Masters or True Masters, Lu Wenzheng certainly had the means to engage them, but each of these individuals was a big name with a traceable background.

Employing such people for an assassination made it easy to expose oneself.

It's one thing to kill others, but to kill an Imperial Envoy, Lu Wenzheng also had to be careful and cautious.

"Let's practice the tactics again."

The leader of the killers said.

Different targets required different tactics, and since this time the target might face a True Master from the Daluo Sect, this was good news for them.

They could take advantage of the confrontation between their target and the True Master to launch a surprise attack and more easily take down the target!

...

Ming Family Town.

Li Fei stopped his 'Unity' cultivation practice inside the room.

He dispatched a stream of Void Thought into the Dream Command, preparing to adventure through the Dream Realm again.

Next, he wanted to use the Dream Command to break through to the Possession Stage, which meant he had to use this magic artifact frequently.

The best way was to use the 'Gate of Dream Realm' and then explore the Dream Realm with the help of the Dream Command.

Soon, Li Fei entered the Dream Realm again.

Just after completing 'Mind Settling', making himself appear in Ming Family Town, Li Fei sensed a vague sense of malice.

"Huh?"

Li Fei was startled.

He had thoroughly read through the Secret Manuals related to the Dream Realm.

If you feel malice in the Dream Realm, it means someone is targeting you and they are not far away!

In the real world, malice is easy to hide, with various means to shield destinies and disrupt divinations.

However, in the Dream Realm, the malice in the subconscious is hard to hide and can be directly felt.

Therefore, the Dream Realm could not only probe others' subconsciousness but also discern enemies, giving an advance warning of danger.

"Who wants to harm me?"

Li Fei immediately 'flew' towards the direction from which the malice emanated.

A moment later, he saw more than thirty different shaped shadows appear before him.

Judging by the size of these shadows, none of them was an ordinary person; they were all capable fighters.

Among them were more than a dozen giant beast-like creatures:

Some resembled ferocious wolves, others giant dogs, and some like massive snakes...

From the volume of these beastly shadows, they were at least warriors at the Tao Foundation Stage or Possession Stage.

"So many powerful beings gathered together?"

Li Fei realized that the situation was not simple.

A gathering of so many powerful individuals, harboring malice toward him, made him instantly alert.

He sought out the smallest, weakest subconscious projection, and silently sneaked into it...
