Chapter 324: Shadow Without Heart
In the territory of the Yun Dynasty, the top floor of a restaurant.
"I hope you can live up to your name!" Zhou Qi leaned back in his chair and said lazily to the black-robed man opposite.
The black-robed man just smiled slightly: "Of course, the Shadow Sect is not an organization in vain!"
Zhou Qi nodded, and said lightly: "I checked this night, but he is not an ordinary teenager, I believe that your information is more detailed than mine." ”
The black-robed man nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, you are a big customer, we will naturally do our best to hunt him down!"
Zhou Qi's eyes were full of murderous intent, as if he wanted to tear Ye Mu to pieces, he knew that it was very difficult to catch Ye Mu just by relying on the strength of the Zhou family.
Therefore, he thought of the Shadow Sect, the largest assassin organization in the world, and he did not hesitate to spend some money, as long as Ye Mu, who killed his son's murderer, Zhou Qi thought that no matter how much money he spent, it was worth it.
The Zhou family can only say that it has a lot of influence in the territory of the Yun Dynasty, and when it comes out of the Yun Dynasty, the influence is not so great, but the Shadow Sect is different.
No matter where you flee to, as long as you are still in the Tianxuan Continent, the Shadow Sect Assassins will always hunt you down.
Ye Mu didn't know that he had been targeted by the Shadow Sect assassins at the moment, but even if he knew, he had no choice but to take one step at a time.
In the mountains, Ye Mu was not in a hurry, but was practicing swords, and with Zhou Tong's experience, his sword drawing skills had indeed improved greatly.
Ye Mu had a lot of confidence, if he encountered a Xuan Shi in the early stage of the Venerable Realm, he would be able to force the opponent back and even severely damage them with just the move of drawing the sword.
After staying in the mountains for a day, Ye Mu continued to rush towards the border of the Yun Dynasty.
Although Ye Mu was far away from those towns, away from the crowds, and only walked on mountain roads, he was still targeted.
A day later, in front of a lake, Ye Mu was washing his face, and suddenly his body moved, the person was already ten meters away, and the afterimage left behind was also dissipated by the dart.
"Who?"
Ye Mu stared at a nearby tree, where a dark shadow slowly dissipated.
"Who the hell is it?" I didn't even perceive it...... "The Xuan Qi in Ye Mu's body was already surging, frowning, looking around vigilantly, and he was very puzzled in his heart.
Ye Mu's soul perception could detect even if a Xuan Shi in the early stage of the Venerable Realm appeared, but just now that person didn't sense the danger until the sneak attack.
Ye Mu quickly left the lake with the Qinglan Sword, and he smelled a hint of danger.
In another dark corner, a man in a black tights and a black mask muttered to himself in surprise: "I didn't expect him to have such a reaction speed, it's really surprising......"
This man in black is the king-level killer of the Shadow Sect, Ying Wuxin, and his cultivation has reached the peak of the early stage of the Supreme Venerable Realm.
I have to be surprised, the Shadow Sect has tracked down Ye Mu in just five days after accepting Zhou Qi's commission, this kind of intelligence control is too terrifying.
And Ye Mu, who was running wildly all the way, guessed in his heart: "Who is this person?" Look at his figure, he is very fast, and he has the temperament of a killer, could it be ......?"
Ye Mu stopped suddenly, figured it out, glanced back, and said with a wry smile in his heart: "It's okay now, the assassins of the Shadow Sect are chasing after you, it's not good to slip away......"
Ye Mu has always been very confident in his escape speed, but in front of the Shadow Sect assassins who are good at tracking and assassinating, it is still not enough.
Ye Mu, who knew that it was no longer of much use to escape, turned around slowly, and smiled indifferently in one direction: "What's the matter?
A moment later, a black figure slowly walked out from behind a tree, he raised his head slightly, and uncovered his hood, revealing a fair, handsome face.
This person has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tall figure, and a murderous aura permeates his whole body, but this murderous aura is not scattered, as if it is very condensed, as if it grew out of his body, it is already inseparable.
The man in black took two steps forward, his eyes did not squint, and a calm voice sounded: "Shadow Sect, Shadow Heartless!"
"Sure enough!"
Even though Ye Mu had guessed that this person was the killer of the Shadow Sect before, but now that he heard it with his own ears, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
Ye Mu's expression was calm, and he smiled slowly: "I don't know why Your Excellency wants to assassinate me?"
The corners of Ying Wuxin's mouth rose slightly, revealing his white teeth, and he smiled evilly: "Well, naturally, someone entrusted us, as for the entrusting party, then you have to ask yourself, according to our rules, we will not disclose any information about the client!"
"If you don't say it, I know, it's Lord Shangshufu, Zhou Qi, right!" Ye Mu smiled indifferently, there was nothing to hide at the moment.
"You are so indifferent, it seems that you have something to rely on!" Ying Wuxin looked at Ye Mu with a lazy attitude, and said softly.
Ye Mu looked very relaxed on the surface, but in fact, his nerves were already tense, and the Xuan Qi in his body was also in a surging state.
Once Ying Wuxin made any moves, Ye Mu was able to react in time, and assassins generally chose to assassinate, because what they wanted to do was to kill the target.
No matter what the process is, they only want the result, but this Ying Wuxin only appeared directly after Ye Mu said a word.
This shows that Ying Wuxin is very confident in his strength, even in a face-to-face battle, he also believes that he can kill Ye Mu.
It was precisely because of this thought that Ye Mu's heart was particularly nervous, and the fluctuations emanating from this Ying Wuxin's body were obviously stronger than Zhou Tong.
However, Ye Mu's worries relaxed a little, because when the Shadow Sect dispatched a person of this level, there would inevitably be no other helpers.
Assassins of this level were always loners, and they did not bother to join forces with anyone unless ordered to do so by their overlord.
"I want to know, how much did Zhou Tong pay for you to kill me?I want to see how much my head can be worth!" Ye Mu pointed to his head and asked with a smile.
Ying Wuxin smiled contemptuously, "I don't know how much, I only know that after the task is completed, the part I got is enough for an ordinary family to eat for more than ten generations!"
"Yo, I didn't expect my head to be quite valuable, Zhou Qi is really willing to give up his blood for his son!" Ye Mu smiled a little unexpectedly, and then looked at Ying Wuxin and asked with a smile: "Ying Wuxin, do you think you can get that money?"
Ying Wuxin clasped his hands on his chest and replied lazily: "Before I saw you, I thought I could get 100%, but now, 99%!"
"Oh?"
Ye Mu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Then where did this one percent come from?"
"Just face me at you, you can still be so calm, this one percent is given to you, it won't be buried!" Ying Wuxin put down his hands and said lightly.
Ye Mu's black pupils shrank suddenly, as he sensed that the aura around Ying Wuxin's body was beginning to climb.
"Draw the sword!"
Without hesitation, the Qinglan sword was quickly unsheathed, and a sword that exerted its strength and speed to the extreme was slashed out.
"Ding!"
A thin cyan sword light flashed, accompanied by a breath that destroyed the heavens and the earth, slashing the shadow without heart, but Ye Mu frowned.
Because Ying Wuxin's figure was directly shattered, this was an afterimage, and Ye Mu suddenly had hairs all over his body standing up, and slashed to the right rear with a sword.
"Dang!"
Only hearing the sound of metal colliding, Ye Mu took more than ten steps back, his expression was solemn, this Ying Wuxin's speed was too fast.
Casting the sword drawing technique at such a distance failed to slash Ying Wuxin, but instead made him launch a counterattack, which made Ye Mu a little surprised.
After all, the perfected sword drawing technique can be said to be faster and stronger than the previous time when Zhou Tong was slashed.
However, no effect was achieved, and Ye Mu had a deep understanding of Ying Wuxin in his heart.
After repelling Ye Mu, Ying Wuxin did not choose to attack immediately, a long short dart was spun between his fingers, and he smiled: "No wonder you were able to kill Zhou Tong, with your cultivation in the late stage of the Xuan Realm, you can do that step, it's really not your luck, your strength is good, but it's a pity, you met me, I won't give you a chance to succeed in the challenge!"
Ye Mu slowly exhaled a breath, and suddenly said with a smile: "Ying Wuxin, can I join your Shadow Sect?"
"Huh?"
Suddenly hearing this, Ying Wuxin was also stunned, and he didn't turn the corner for a while, and then sneered: "Night, you are really interesting, even if you want to join the Shadow Sect, you can't escape my order." ”
"Ying Wuxin, why don't we make a deal, I can also pay you, as long as you let me leave the territory of the Yun Dynasty, after leaving the Yun Dynasty, you can come and hunt me down again!How about it?" Ye Mu straightened his waist and said indifferently.
Hearing this, Ying Wuxin was silent, he wasn't for the money, for him, money had long been less concerned.
After a moment of silence, Ying Wuxin raised his head and said lightly: "Nightfall, to be honest, I didn't want to take this task, but in addition to the money Zhou Qi gave, there is also a temptation that I don't want to refuse." ”
"What is it?" Ye Mu asked.
"You don't need to know this, I can promise you what you just said, but it's not for money, it's purely my personal appreciation of you, you're very good. Shadow smiled evilly, and as soon as his body moved, he disappeared into the jungle in a few flashes.
A voice came from the air: "Nightfall, escape, when you leave the border of the Yun Dynasty, I won't show mercy to my subordinates!"
"Hoo ......"
After Ying Wuxin left, Ye Mu's tense body relaxed, breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at the sky and muttered, "It's too strong......"
Ying Wuxin's strength is undoubtedly very strong, even if Ye Mu exerts his full strength, the odds of winning are less than thirty percent.
"Fortunately, there is some respite, this Ying Wuxin is quite good!" Ye Mu flickered a few times with the Qinglan sword and disappeared in place.
It was far from the border of the Yun Dynasty, and according to Ye Mu's previous speed, it would take about five days to get out.
But now, Ye Mu didn't want to go out so early, because once he went out, Ying Wuxin would not show mercy to his subordinates, and he would definitely kill himself.
"I'm really drunk, I have a headache!" Ye Mu leaned against the branch of a big tree, his eyes were closed, and he said with a sad face.
If it was just the Zhou family sending people to chase and kill, Ye Mu would not have much sorrow, because he was confident that he would be able to get rid of those people.
But the people from the Shadow Sect are different, what they are best at is tracking and assassinating, not to mention that this time it is the king-level killer Ying Wuxin who came to chase and kill the king-level killer of the peak realm of the early stage of the Venerable Realm.
It was precisely because Ye Mu had previously killed Zhou Tong, who had cultivated to the early stage of the Venerable Realm, that the Shadow Sect would send Ying Wuxin, because if he sent a killer in the late stage of the Xuan Realm or at the peak, I am afraid that he would not be able to complete the task.
"It's really troublesome, or the strength is too weak!" Ye Mu sighed, speaking of which, he was still not strong enough.
If Ye Mu can have the cultivation of the Holy Xuan Realm, let alone kill Zhou Tong, even if he kills Zhou Qi, his son Zhou Fang probably won't dare to let go of a fart.
