Chapter 525: Variables
Xia Fan is a killer, but at some point, he doesn't mind being a robber either.
For example, when the inner treasury of a country's royal family is presented in front of his eyes like an insignificant virgin.
If this situation can be endured, then it can really only be described as a beast.
It's just that the strength of the dozens of guards guarding outside the inner library is really extraordinary, most of them are at the level of the Martial King, and the two leaders have reached the realm of the Martial Emperor.
So although his eyes were hot, Xia Fan still hid quietly in the dark, patiently waiting for the opportunity to come.
If he still had the realm of the supreme martial arts in the previous life, he would naturally rush out directly without hesitation.
With a powerful realm and an overwhelming technical advantage, facing these dozens of guards, it is completely possible to form a devastating battle situation.
But for now...... Although Xia Fan still had the confidence to kill the two Martial Emperor-level guards through assassination, the remaining other guards would not be easy to deal with.
After all, the number is ...... It's just too much......
Xia Fan was not in a hurry, his entire body was completely hidden in the shadows not far from the inner library, and his own physiological functions were also slowed down.
The rate of breathing was instantly reduced by several times, the blood flow rate was also completely sluggish, and the whole person and the surroundings were completely integrated, using the perception of the rules of heaven and the control of the surrounding vitality, even after the light fell on Xia Fan's body, there was a strange refraction!
Under this kind of anti-heaven concealment ability, as long as Xia Fan does not move, then even if someone passes by Xia Fan directly, they will never find Xia Fan's existence!
The visual capture ability of human beings needs to rely on the perception of light to complete, but Xia Fan refracted all the light that fell on his body through the control of his vitality, so that no light fell on his body.
This approach will not cause much consumption to Xia Fan, but to do this, it requires a high degree of mental concentration, and the control of the vitality and the borrowing of the rules of the Heavenly Dao must reach the level of meticulousness, so there must be no superfluous movements.
Once there is a move, the latent effect will inevitably be directly destroyed.
In this latent state, the only way to discover Xia Fan is to have an ability similar to 'Absolute Qi Sense' like Xia Fan, and he knows the distribution of Yuan Qi within a certain range well, and he has nothing missing.
It's just that people who can do this are extremely rare in the Inner Realm, let alone in the Outer Realm.
Chaos is spreading inside the palace.
As the white mist dissipated, the guards searched the hall to no avail, and not even a single hair of Xia Fan was found, and the entire palace inevitably fell into chaos.
The search of the guards naturally spread outside the main hall, and the emperor was assassinated on the spot, but there was not even the hair of the assassin left, which was naturally a great shame for the assassins in the palace.
If the Assassins are not captured from the palace, I am afraid that all the palace guards will be able to punish themselves to thank the world.
And with the expansion of the search range, other people in the palace also learned about the emperor's assassination, because the death was too sudden, and the two princes who were most likely to inherit the throne were not there, so that although the entire hall was full of the top bosses of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was no real backbone to preside over the overall situation.
As a result, no one even gave the order to block the death of the emperor.
In addition, the assassination of the emperor was too abrupt, and this blank and unexpected sudden appearance made many princes who originally had no idea about the throne also began to involuntarily rise inexplicably, which led to the instant disintegration of those courtiers in the main hall.
In short, the chaos in the palace was like a terminal illness, which caused Western Zhou's heart to ulcerate, and it was out of control......
In the midst of this chaos, Xia Fan lurked silently, his eyes always staring at the inner library not far away, and the enveloping range of the 'Absolute Qi Sense' was also opened to the maximum extent to ensure that he could perceive the changes in the surrounding situation at any time.
The palace was in complete chaos, and many ministers left the palace and hurried back to their mansions to make arrangements they could think of.
This is the perfect time to compete for the throne, and even those princes who originally had no possibility of becoming a great treasure suddenly see great hope.
And inside the palace, a large number of guards are conducting a carpet search in the palace, and at the same time, the real powerhouses are the four walls of the guardian palace to prevent Xia Fan from escaping.
But these guards guarding the inner library obviously have their own special features, no matter how chaotic the palace is, they all look like they are turning a blind eye, just firmly guarding the door of the inner library, only the eyebrows show a vigilant look.
The whole palace was full of chickens and dogs, almost everyone was in a state of panic, and outside the palace, everyone's eyes were all on the chair, and no one cared about anything else.
The death of the emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty was like a huge magnet, sucking all the attention of the imperial capital into the palace, and in this situation, the elite cavalry of the Daqian Dynasty ...... Coming to the city!
But the people in the imperial capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty still don't know anything.
Xia Fan has been waiting quietly, even if the waiting time is not short, but there is no anxiety in his heart.
In his previous life, he had hid in a pile of rotting corpses for three days in a pile of corpses in order to assassinate a target, just looking for a chance to make a move.
Nowadays, this kind of waiting is really pediatric.
From time to time, there would be palace guards who came and went from time to time, but no one noticed Xia Fan in the corner.
Until the sun set and the bright moon hung high, the opportunity that Xia Fan had been waiting for finally appeared!
The direction of the palace wall on the south side of the palace suddenly broke out in the direction of the battle, although the movement was not very big at the beginning, but at this time, the Western Zhou Palace, like a powder keg that was suppressed and did not break out, with the movement of this battle, it immediately ignited the entire palace.
A large number of Praetorian guards began to swarm towards the area where the battle was sounding, and they reacted quickly, far up several notches from normal.
Xia Fan knew who those people who wanted to sneak into the palace but were discovered.
The death of the Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty is obviously only circulating in the palace and in the circles of those top-level figures, and the other party has not received news in this regard, so it will be so careless.
However, these have nothing to do with Xia Fan, Xia Fan believes that since the other party waited for a whole day before acting, then he must be very well prepared.
Even if the palace guards found them near the palace walls, it was unlikely...... Stop!
