"Oh, it's you. Aren't you that guy?"
Ye Wangchuan chuckled, pretending to recognize Su Fugui.
Su Fugui smiled and nodded.
"Right, right, I'm that guy."
"I know you. You did that thing."
"That thing? Oh, that old thing."
"Yeah, it was so... uh, that thing."
After exchanging a few polite words, both Su Fugui and Ye Wangchuan were left with the same question in their minds.
What exactly is "that thing"?
Once the pleasantries were over, Ye Wangchuan prepared to fish for information.
He needed to probe a bit—was Su Fugui's wealth given by the system? And what else could the system do besides providing money?
Just then.
"Hmph, so you're Su Fugui, huh?"
A tall man clad in black robes and a black mask approached.
Seeing that the man was heading straight for Su Fugui, Ye Wangchuan subtly stepped back, positioning Su Fugui in front of him.
At that moment.
Clang—!
Two spinning daggers shot through the air! Ye Wangchuan instantly drew his spear, deflecting one and using his chilling aura to blow the other away.
One of the daggers flew off and struck a thousand-year-old tree.
As the poison on the dagger dripped onto the tree, the entire tree began to wither and rot in an instant.
Ye Wangchuan glanced over, puzzled.
Meanwhile, Su Fugui frowned and spoke coldly.
"This is Ye Wangchuan, the young master of the Ye family, the top family in Chang'an City! I am Su Fugui of the Su family, one of the top ten families in Chang'an! Who are you to dare attack us so brazenly?"
Though there was no Su family in Chang'an, Su Fugui felt the need to claim some prestigious background.
After all, people from other cities wouldn't know whether the Su family truly existed.
Unexpectedly, the black-clad man sneered dismissively.
"Stop pretending! I've lived in Chang'an for decades and never heard of any Su family. As for the Ye family, I know of them."
"Then why are you attacking us? Do you have a death wish?"
Su Fugui furrowed his brow, utterly confused.
He couldn't understand why someone from Chang'an would attack the young master of the Ye family.
And why was he, Su Fugui, being targeted by a mysterious assassin?
Damn, having money but no backing in this fantasy world is really dangerous!
"Whatever. You're both going to die anyway. Before you do, I'll let you know why."
The black-clad man took a deep breath and explained.
"My name is Night Raven, a top-tier assassin at the third level of cultivation."
"Night Shadow was my sister. Last night, she died..."
"Su Fugui!!! I spent an entire day investigating! I found out that before she died, my sister was hired by Tang Mo! And her target was you!"
"Three people were involved—Tang Mo, Night Shadow, and you! Why are you the only one still alive?!"
"It must be because you're the one who killed my sister!!!"
Night Raven roared with fury.
Su Fugui's pupils contracted sharply.
"Night Shadow... is dead?"
"Yes!"
Night Raven snarled, then turned his gaze to Ye Wangchuan.
"Young Master Ye! I didn't want to involve you, but according to my investigation, you were the one who demanded Su Fugui's resurrection!"
"I was also puzzled. My sister was at the second level of cultivation, while Su Fugui is only at the first level. How could she lose to him?"
"Now I realize—you must have been his accomplice! You'll die too!"
After Night Raven finished speaking, Ye Wangchuan sighed and rubbed his forehead.
Damn!
Is it because there are two protagonists here, and their combined "stupidity aura" has made Night Raven lose his mind?
Why would an assassin reveal his background and motives before killing someone?
What is wrong with him?!
Su Fugui, regaining his composure, spoke up.
"Night Shadow and I were working together. We were ambushed by a mysterious..."
"I don't want to hear your excuses! After I kill you both, I'll take my own life and join my sister!"
Night Raven was beyond reason, consumed by rage.
In the next moment.
Whoosh—!
He appeared right in front of Ye Wangchuan!
"You're at the second level of cultivation. I'll kill you first!"
Night Raven coldly declared, wielding a scythe and slashing toward Ye Wangchuan at incredible speed.
Ye Wangchuan calmly channeled his spiritual energy, releasing a burst of freezing aura around him.
Night Raven initially paid it no mind, but as soon as he touched the icy energy, a flood of dark thoughts overwhelmed him.
Normally, Night Raven could resist such mental intrusions with sheer willpower.
But now, consumed by grief and rage over his sister's death, the dark thoughts easily infiltrated his mind.
Resentment, pain, and anger swirled together, while feelings of helplessness and despair suppressed his fury.
His emotions became a chaotic mess, and his movements grew clumsy.
"Damn it! I need revenge! Nothing will stop me!"
It took a full second for Night Raven to shake off the dark thoughts.
But in battle, even a second is crucial.
By the time he regained his focus, a frost-covered spear was already inches from his face.
Boom—!!
The spear struck Night Raven's face with tremendous force, sending him flying into a nearby river!
The impact also killed a bunch of fish.
At the same time, the spear unleashed a wave of icy energy, causing lotus-like ice formations to bloom in the river, attempting to trap Night Raven.
And, of course, freezing even more fish to death.
Fortunately, as a third-level cultivator, taking a spear strike from a second-level opponent wasn't enough to seriously injure Night Raven.
He only suffered a twisted face, a crushed eyeball, and most of his teeth shattered.
Looking around at the ice trapping him, Night Raven flexed his arm, easily shattering the ice.
But as soon as the ice broke, more water surged in, only to freeze again under the spear's chilling aura.
This cycle repeated endlessly.
After several failed attempts to brute-force his way out, Night Raven decided to change tactics.
He closed his eyes, calming his mind to resist the dark thoughts within the icy energy.
Then, he began gathering spiritual energy to activate his divine ability.
"Hmph!"
With a roar, Night Raven merged into the shadows!
This was his divine ability—Shadow Dive!
By merging into shadows, he could move at incredible speeds, making it perfect for assassination or escape.
Since the ice was semi-transparent, Night Raven quickly climbed out of the river by moving through the shadows within the ice.
Once on land, he laughed triumphantly.
"Haha! Ye Wangchuan, you didn't expect..."
Before he could finish, Ye Wangchuan called out.
"Li Luo, throw an explosive talisman into the air and detonate it."
"Okay."
Li Luo nodded.
In the next moment.
A talisman flew into the air, glowing red.
Boom—!!!
The talisman exploded, releasing a blinding light!
Most of the shadows in the area vanished instantly.
"Crap!"
Night Raven realized the danger and immediately canceled his Shadow Dive, charging toward Ye Wangchuan.
As a third-level cultivator, his speed was astonishing—far faster than a diving falcon.
Ye Wangchuan hurled three spears at Night Raven, but all were easily dodged.
As the distance between them closed, Night Raven grinned smugly.
"Brat! The gap between the third and second levels is even greater than that between the second level and a mortal! I'll show you my true..."
Before he could finish, he noticed something in Ye Wangchuan's hand.
A golden rope had suddenly appeared.
"Huh? What's that?"
