Chapter 204: Chapter 156: Your Turn Has Come Too! [An Extra 3 Chapters in consolation for the Silver Alliance’s Sad Fall] Chapter 204: Chapter 156: Your Turn Has Come Too! [An Extra 3 Chapters in consolation for the Silver Alliance’s Sad Fall] Mo Zhengdao felt a sudden sense of relief. His greatest fear was that the assassin was coming for him, as he was a major target of the Heavenly Judge.

He was very clear about this point.

His mentality was different from that of the other protectors. Guardian laision was granted their individual protection efforts and had murdered the assassins of Heavenly Judge. Even if a killer of Heavenly Judge died, they would not be held accountable afterwards. But with every assassination attempt Mo Zhengdao survived, it threw off his balance a bit more.

The more assassination attempts he experienced, the more alert he became—

When the assassin first appeared, his posture, momentum, and murderous intensity all seemed insufficient. However, he made a sudden move, silently and instantly killing a human-level cultivator, and combining his astonishing speed with this moment, it was clear that he was hiding his true power and misleading others!

Taking into consideration all the abnormal signs from Old Zhou beforehand, Mo Zhengdao understood that he was not the target of the attacker.

For an attacker of this level, killing himself would be overestimating him too much!

However, it also meant that he was no longer the targeted individual, and he was essentially safe as long as he didn’t rush in to die!

With this thought, he couldn’t help but relax. He slowed his pace, prepared to change direction, and shouted urgently, “Protect Great Uncle! You must protect Great Uncle!”

He turned to leave as soon as his voice fell.

Having been the target of assassination attempts so many times, Mo Zhengdao had developed a set of survival skills.

If not for today’s important guests, he should have used a body double to entertain the guests; and the cultivation of the double is only a level or two lower than his own.

That would be truly foolproof.

Being cautious was the only way to ensure survival!

Everyone else could be sacrificed!

Elsewhere, Old Zhou, holding Mo Xiaoyu under his arms, was dashing away like mad. Behind him, a dark shadow chased them at a speed like lightning.

With the light sound of rushing air, countless hidden weapons went past and screams rose all around them.

No one knew what kind of hidden weapon the enemy was using; it was invisible and traceless, yet it could destroy any resistance and break through any defense.

Against their counterattack, the enemy was completely unaffected, as if they were hitting thin air.

This fleeting situation left the protectors utterly clueless about how to defend. They felt a chill along their legs and arms, finding them suddenly detached…

The screams were ceaseless, and Old Zhou’s heart sank even more. With his experience, he also didn’t know what kind of method the enemy was using. He felt a terrifying amount of intensity from his opponent, even surpassing his initial estimation.

From the very beginning, he knew from the enemy’s aura that he was no match.

After witnessing the enemy’s weird method, his heart filled with terror and he knew that he had no choice but to flee.

Another soft swoosh echoed through the air, noiseless and traceless…

But this time, it was Mo Xiaoyu in his arms who was injured and his screams echoed in Old Zhou’s ears!

Old Zhou observed a bloody wound on Mo Xiaoyu’s thigh, blood gushing out in a flow.

But he frowned, as he felt the enemy directly hit Mo Xiaoyu’s leg and the blow didn’t go through.

Neither did it sever Mo Xiaoyu’s thigh.

The only explanation was that…

At that moment, Mo Xiaoyu’s protective aura worked, and blocked…or even deflected the attack?

This…

How is that possible?

How could the enemy be so inept?

Old Zhou instinctively spun around, swinging his sword. He concentrated all his energy into the blade, setting up a defensive posture.

There was a crisp collision sound as he eliminated a hidden weapon or energy attack…

But Old Zhou himself didn’t feel any impact. The enemy’s weapon was not just small, but also weak compared to his own strength.

Even for Mo Xiaoyu, his normal defensive aura should be enough to withstand such strikes. His injury was largely due to the chaos, which disrupted his energy flow and reduced the effectiveness of his defensive aura to less than half!

“I’ve been tricked!”

In an instant, realization dawned on Old Zhou. He quickly turned and swung his sword, ready to protect the innocent from attack. A whitish figure approached at an extremely high speed. But when his blade collided with the figure, it was as if he was cutting air!

Old Zhou froze.

I cut him in half with a single stroke?

If the enemy possessed such speed and dexterity, how could they be defeated so easily?

Wait, if I cut him in half, why isn’t there any blood?

Sensing that something was wrong, Old Zhou focused his gaze in that direction. What he saw was a couple of pieces of clothing slowly descending.

He stepped forward and lifted the clothing with his sword. He found nothing underneath it. In fact, one of the pieces conveniently covered a tiny drain – a hole so small that only a rat could squeeze into it. It would be impossible for a person to go through, even with the most advanced body-reducing techniques!

Where did the attacker go then?

Was it possible that the person who set off with such speed, who had been releasing all kinds of vicious attacks along the way and killing everyone in their path, was merely a garment?

Could it be that a piece of clothing has become a ghost and is causing trouble!?

However, at this moment, another scream of agony came from behind. But it wasn’t Mo Zhengdao’s voice, so who could it be?

Old Zhou immediately understood everything.

“So that’s it!”

So the target of the other party was not Mo Xiaoyu at all.

At this moment, injured by an accident, Mo Xiaoyu was in so much pain that he was distracted with the wound on his thigh. Seeing that Old Zhou was still stunned, he bellowed, “What are you standing there for? Go check it out!”

Although Mo Zhengdao did not hold a high position, he was nevertheless responsible for a source of wealth for Supreme Mountain here.

Although it was just one of the many sources of wealth, it wouldn’t do to abandon it casually.

Since there was no danger to himself, naturally, he must lend a hand if he could.

Old Zhou dropped Mo Xiaoyu and flew off. Now that he knew that the attacker’s actual strength wasn’t that high, he had no fear and would quickly come to the rescue.

The timeline rolled back by two breaths.

On the other side, Mo Zhengdao retreated calmly, subtly hiding behind a pillar. Casually, he pressed and an exit appeared on the pillar. With a flash, he went in, and the pillar closed slowly. In the blink of an eye, Mo Zhengdao had disappeared from everyone’s sight.

As Mo Zhengdao entered the secret tunnel and moved quickly, his heart became increasingly steady.

This hidden passage led straight to the back courtyard, coming out was his own study and bedroom, where it was even safer.

Just with those traps alone were enough to bury any assassin.

Walking leisurely without haste to the exit, he sensed around, indeed there was not any movement.

That was the usual, if there were any changes here, wouldn’t it mean that his trap had caught the attention of the attacker!

Sure enough, the target of the attacker was not himself. I told you so, such a powerful cultivator couldn’t possibly care about a small fry like me!

With a self-confident smile, he lifted the cover of the exit with force, placed it aside delicately without making any sound.

Immediately, he leapt out, placing himself in the safest place in his heart.

However, just as he leapt, a brilliant knife light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes!

Like a mountain or a continent, it chopped down straight!

There’s an ambush here!?

What’s worse, the other party had completely worked out his intentions and plan! That he would even be familiar with his secret tunnel!

How is this possible?

However, the brutal reality was right in front of him. At the precise moment when he leapt, right at the critical point where there was no strength to borrow, a brutal attack was launched, aiming to kill him.

At this instant, Mo Zhengdao was really left unquestionably off-guard!

He shouted in alarm amidst the chaos and hurriedly reversed his spiritual energy to descend. His Dantian was immediately tangled into a mess, and his two legs rapidly spread apart, trying to brace against the tunnel walls for leverage.

At the same time, his previously extended right hand was pulled in and he pulled out his treasured sword.

It must be said, Mo Zhengdao’s reaction and movements could be considered extremely fast, almost miraculous in handling a sudden situation!

However, Feng Yin, who was lying in wait here, had already calculated his every move. From the moment he stepped into the pillar, Feng Yin, who had already planned his next move, came to this place by leveraging the power of the Ink Silkworm. Thus, Feng Yin arrived sooner than Mo Zhengdao.

With such an opportune timing and considerable advantage, how could he let him escape?

However, figures began to appear all around as dozens of guards were rushing over after hearing Mo Zhengdao’s scream.

Feng Yin had no distractions in his mind, he focused all his energy on a single strike to kill!

At the instant of drawing his knife, a vision of the blade came into his mind, infusing into the sword body and vastly increasing the momentum of this strike.

When the Heavenly Blade is out, nothing can stand against it!

Thump!

Mo Zhengdao’s sword had just come out of its sheath and hadn’t yet had time to swing to block, and his forehead had already been slashed by a knife, from the crown of his head all the way to his chest, he was cut into two halves!

Blood splattered all over immediately.

Mo Zhengdao’s body fell silently down.

He had never really set foot in this safest and most secure room, he was already dead!

In the last moment of his life, he suddenly remembered, back in the days, this tunnel was the place where that woman was imprisoned… After assassinating her whole family and taking her captive, he had violated her day and night in this underground chamber…

Until at last, that woman bit off her tongue and committed suicide in this chamber.

Mo Zhengdao could never forget, the woman’s bitter wail before her death: “Mo Zhengdao, you beast! I’ll wait for you here, to see your end!”

That resentful gaze often appeared in his midnight dreams.

No matter what, Mo Zhengdao could never have imagined that the woman’s dying curse truly came true, he indeed lost his life here.

He was waited for by his enemy…

In the gloom, a cool breeze fluttered.

It felt like a pitiful soul was laughing joyfully, dancing in the darkness!

Villain, you finally met your day!

You indeed have met your day!
