The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 380 Assassination

In Yancheng, Dazhou, at noon, at the Nian Family Villa. The Nian Family had already prepared for the reception, and guests were arriving one after another. Nian Family's ancestor, Nian Changxing, a newly promoted cultivator of the Refining Void, sat in the main seat of the venue, smiling and chatting with some old friends. Nian Xiongying greeted the visiting guests at the gate of the courtyard. Everyone also felt the festive atmosphere of the Nian Family, and congratulated and presented gifts. The concierges signed up one by one, and it was very lively.

Finally, the most important guest of the day arrived. Zhibin shouted, "The head of the Zhong family, the number one family in the Great Zhou Kingdom, is here~~" Nian Xiongying immediately greeted him with a smile. Nian Changxing also stood up. He had never seen the head of the number one family in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Qian'er came slowly with a smile, and her red dress amazed many young cultivators present. There were discussions in the venue, most of which were about the fact that the head of the Zhong family was such a young and beautiful woman. When Qian'er broke through to the spirit transformation stage, her appearance also returned to that of a twenties, which could be said to be youthful and beautiful. How could such a young person not control the first family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and make those young cultivators have wild thoughts?

Nian Xiongying said with a smile: "Master Zhong, your presence is a great honor to the Nian family. The ancestor has been waiting for a long time. Please come in." Qian'er smiled and said: "Master Nian, you are too polite. Your advancement to the Refining Void Realm is a blessing for the entire Great Zhou Immortal Cultivation World. How can I not come to congratulate you? Qing'er, present a gift~"

Qing'er took out an exquisite little jade bottle, handed it to the concierge and was about to leave. The concierge hurriedly asked, "I wonder what gift the Zhong family sent? Is it convenient for you to sign up?" Qing'er said, "Po Void Pill, you can sign up." The concierge's hands trembled, not knowing what to do. Nian Xiongying was also surprised and said, "Master Zhong, this gift is too expensive. The Nian family dare not accept it without merit~" Qian'er smiled and said, "Master Nian, you don't have to be polite. This Pojing Pill is prepared for you. You have reached the peak of the Spiritual Transformation. With this Poxu Pill, you will definitely be able to break through in time."

The protocol staff signed up as usual, and the venue immediately set off an uproar. The Void-Breaking Pill~ The bloody battle outside is all for it. Many small families and small sects have been wiped out because of it. The Zhong family sent it out like this, and the Zhong family has been very kind to the Nian family~ Nian Changxing also looked deeply at Qian'er in the distance, and secretly said: "The Zhong family can rise for a reason, the head of the Li family is very good."

If the Nian family takes action against the Zhong family now, public opinion will definitely be one-sided, saying that the Nian family is ungrateful, not that the Zhong family is unfair. The Zhong family is now the number one family in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and reputation is still very important. The entire Great Zhou cultivation world is watching you, and if you do something wrong, you will be criticized.

Nian Xiongying led Qian'er to the main seat, and Nian Changxing quickly stood up and bowed, saying: "I am Nian Changxing, and I'm honored to meet the head of the Li family. I am honored that the head of the Li family has done me the honor of seeing you~" Qian'er smiled and said: "Senior, you are too polite. Your breakthrough is a blessing for the entire Great Zhou cultivation world. As a junior, I would like to express my congratulations." After a few polite words, Qian'er sat to the lower left of Nian Changxing, and Nian Xiongying sat to the lower right.

The guests arrived early in the morning. Qian'er was the last to arrive. This was not out of arrogance but due to her status. After Qian'er sat down, Nian Changxing stood up and said with a smile: "Thank you all for coming today. I am honored..." A bunch of polite words were said, and Tianci suddenly felt a hint of murderous intent. The two brothers exchanged glances, and Tianci immediately sent a voice message to Qian'er: "Madam! There is murderous intent, there are killers! At least four! Their cultivation is not inferior to my subordinates! Leave quickly!"

Qian'er stood up in a flash, and the meeting place fell silent. Nian Changxing did not continue to speak, but looked at Qian'er calmly and said: "What's wrong with Master Li? You want to leave before the banquet even starts, do you look down on me?" Qian'er also said calmly: "Senior, I hope you think it over carefully, otherwise the Nian family will cease to exist." Nian Changxing showed guilt, but it was fleeting, and he said calmly: "The Nian family has no way out. If we succeed today, there is still a glimmer of hope, otherwise the family will be exterminated!" Nian Changxing suddenly shouted: "Set up the formation!"

There was a loud buzzing sound in the void, and gray rays shot into the air and then spread out in all directions. The venue was in chaos. Just when everyone didn't know what was going on, there was a crisp sound behind Qian'er, and a black shadow stabbed Qian'er's vest with a half-meter-long dagger, but was stopped by Tianci. The man in black said solemnly: "An Yi! You are not dead after all!" Tianci also recognized the other party at once, and said angrily: "An Wu! It turns out that you are the leader, everyone else come out too!"

Two cultivators at the peak of the Refining Void suddenly fought, and the fluctuation of their magic power blew over a group of young cultivators. Only cultivators at the high level of the Nascent Soul could barely hold up the shield to resist. Tianci had absorbed the best crystal beads over the years, and his magic power was much stronger than that of Anwu. With a wave of magic power, he shook off Anwu, protected Qian'er and said loudly: "Who is here from the Anzi Department? I haven't seen you for many years. Let the captain see if you have improved!"

After Anwu was forced away, three men in black appeared around him like ghosts. Tianci recognized the other three immediately and named them: "Anliu, Anqi, Anba, the Yu family really thinks highly of the lady. They actually arranged for the four of you to assassinate her. It seems that they are determined to succeed." Anqi said: "Captain, why did you betray the adults! Do you know that you made a stupid decision!" The voice turned out to be a woman.

Tianci said calmly: "This decision is the most correct one in my life. It made me know what it means to live! People with different ideals cannot work together. If you want to kill my wife, you have to get past me first!" Qian'er saw that Tianci was going to fight four people at once, and hurriedly said: "Tianci, don't worry about me. I still have the power to protect myself..." Before she finished speaking, a huge magic spell came from behind. Qian'er waved her hand, and a small light golden bell spun out, growing bigger in the wind. The small bell instantly turned into a big bell, protecting everyone inside. The magic spell hit Qian'er's magic weapon, making a thud. Everyone looked up and saw that the eight incarnations of the Nian family formed a joint attack formation. The formation diagram was shining. After one attack failed, they began to prepare for the next magic spell.

Qian'er looked back at Nian Changxing and said, "Nian Changxing, I was careless this time. I didn't expect the Yu family to send four assassins from the Dark Department. But, if you think you can kill me like this, you underestimate me!" Nian Changxing took a look at Qian'er's magic weapon and said, "The Zhong family is indeed wealthy. A magic weapon of this quality must have been made by a master. The power of their combined attack may not be able to be resisted even by a cultivator in the early stage of the Void Refining Realm. I didn't expect it to be deflected so easily."

Qian'er sneered, "The Zhong family is not as simple as you think. If you want to take my life, you'd better do it yourself!" Qian'er did not tangle with the eight incarnations of the Nian family, but rushed directly to Nian Changxing, forming seals with her hands, and the spell was instantly completed. She shouted, "Golden Crow Fire Feathers!" Dozens of golden feathers shot towards Nian Changxing. Nian Changxing said indifferently, "I have heard that the master of the Zhong family has amazing fire magic power. Seeing it today, I am really disappointed."

Nian Changxing waved his hand and said, "Water is the enemy of fire. I just happened to practice water-attributed skills. Waves!" Suddenly, waves appeared in the void. Tens, hundreds, and thousands of waves filled the space. Qian'er's fire feather was annihilated halfway. Qian'er sneered, "As long as the flame is hot enough, let alone water, even black ice can be burned dry! Take another move from me..." "Sister, be careful!" Qing'er saw that the eight Nian family's incarnation cultivators had already completed the joint attack technique. She was powerless to stop it, so she could only warn them.

Nian Changxing laughed loudly, "Too late! Kill her!" The eight Divine Transformation cultivators formed a joint attack formation, and the formation diagram was shining brightly. Nian Xiongying laughed wildly, "Go...die..." With a puff, Nian Xiongying looked at his chest. A short blade passed through his back and pierced his heart. Then Hong Renjie raised his right palm and slapped Nian Xiongying's crown, directly shattering his soul. He said with a pah, "You want to hurt my wife? I will make sure you never reincarnate!"

The four members of the Anzi tribe were shocked at the same time: "An Er! You are not dead either!" In order to give his younger brother a chance to destroy the Nian family's joint attack formation, Tianci blocked four assassins by himself. Although it was only for a moment, he was already covered in wounds. Hong Renjie glanced at Tianci and said angrily: "An Wu, I will definitely cut off your head! Brother, I will come to help you after I deal with that old bastard!" Tianci swallowed a pill and said coldly: "Don't worry about me, it's not that easy for them to kill me, you protect the lady."

Although they killed a peak Spiritualization cultivator, the situation was still very unfavorable to the Zhong family. Although Zhou Ru and Qing'er were not targeted, they were also held back by a group of Yuanying cultivators from the Nian family using a formation. It seemed that it would not be easy to escape. As long as one of Qian'er and Tianci died, the situation would immediately get out of control.

Nian Changxing saw Nian Xiongying's head was smashed, closed his eyes in pain, and murmured: "Ying'er, it was this old man who harmed you. After killing Li Qian'er, I will go down to accompany you." Qian'er sneered: "Nian Changxing, do you think it's enough to kill you alone? The Nian family is going to be exterminated. Your every move can't be hidden from the Zhong family. The Nian family members who left Yancheng last night have been targeted by us." Nian Changxing laughed bitterly: "Even if I stop now, can I leave a trace of incense for our Nian family?" An Wu, who was besieging Tianci, heard that Nian Changxing was actually shaken, and warned: "Nian Changxing, if you dare to violate the agreement, you will be exterminated now! Kill Li Qian'er, and your Nian family will have a way to survive!"

Nian Changxing took a deep breath and said, "Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back! Listen to my orders, Nian family, kill Li Qing'er first, then kill Zhou Ru! Distract her mind, although I can't kill her quickly, but I can hold her back!" Nian Changxing said it lightly, but in fact he already knew Qian'er's strength, plus that little bell, Nian Changxing was not sure to win her. The eight gods of the Nian family were broken, and the remaining seven gods, one in the late stage of the gods, three in the middle stage of the gods, and three in the early stage of the gods rushed towards Qing'er who was being held back. Qian'er said in fear, "Renjie, go protect Qing'er!"

Hong Renjie was stunned for a moment, then turned around and a black shadow appeared in front of him. An Wu said solemnly: "An Er, aren't you going to cut off my head? Here, I've brought it to you, come and cut it~" Hong Renjie roared: "Get out of here!" With a bang, Hong Renjie attacked An Wu with one move, then formed a seal, and An Wu also followed suit and shouted: "Shadow clone!" The five Hong Renjies were blocked by the five An Wus and could not get rid of them.

Seeing that Hong Renjie was also being held back, the situation was urgent, Qian'er couldn't just watch her own sister die. A fire dragon attacked Nian Changxing, and she tried to get rid of it with a flash. Unexpectedly, such a hasty move was easily seen through by the experienced Nian Changxing. Nian Changxing seemed to know that Qian'er would do this, and he moved his body in advance, easily dodged the fire dragon, formed seals with his hands, and prepared the magic. He said with a triumphant smile on his face: "Master Li, don't be in a hurry to leave, take my move! Exploding waves!" Qian'er, who was about to turn around, was shocked when she heard it and said, "Despicable!"

The huge torrent hit, and Qian'er had no time to dodge or use magic to resist. With a single move of her hand, a small bell appeared, which was strong against the wind and protected Qian'er in the small bell. The torrent hit the small bell, making a loud bang, which seemed to have blocked Nian Changxing's ultimate move, but Qian'er inside was not feeling well either.

Seeing her sister suffer for her, Qing'er shouted, "Sister! Leave me alone!" How could Qian'er ignore her? She put away the small clock and was about to leave when a figure blocked her way. Nian Changxing said calmly, "Kill Li Qing'er first and let her go down to serve Ying'er. Then it's your turn!" Nian Changxing suddenly shouted, "Do you know that Ying'er is my most beloved junior? Even if I kill you all, it won't relieve the hatred in my heart!"

Seeing that the seven gods were forming seals and were about to attack Qing'er, Qian'er finally panicked and shouted, "I should have destroyed your Nian family long ago! I should have destroyed you long ago!" Qing'er had just broken through to the God Transformation realm not long ago, and it was impossible for her to withstand the attacks of so many gods who were at a higher realm than her.

At this critical moment, several beams of light flew towards Qing'er at the same time. Ximen Ba shouted, "Master Zhong, don't panic. The Ximen family is here to help you!" As soon as he finished speaking, eight Ximen family's Divine Transformation cultivators landed in front of Qing'er. Ximen Ba said domineeringly, "Miss Qing'er, our Ximen family has you covered!"
