Chapter 459 - 459 459 Hard Battle

Chapter 459: Chapter 459: Hard Battle Chapter 459: Chapter 459: Hard Battle The confrontation with Mr.

Yin had left Jing Yan injured, and it was a serious injury at that.

However, after silently operating the Pure Yang Spirit Body Secret Method, the injuries within his body were healing at an astonishing rate.

By using the Pure Yang Spirit Body to heal himself, Jing Yan didn’t need to use any healing pills.

It was precisely because Jing Yan hadn’t used healing pills that Mr.

Yin appeared to be more patient.

If Jing Yan had swallowed healing pills to recover his injuries in front of him, he would certainly have lashed out at Jing Yan again immediately, not waiting for Jing Yan to fully heal.

“Indeed, it was the Wen Family Patriarch Wen Lan who hired me to assassinate you,” Mr.

Yin seemed to have considered for a short while before he continued, “Normally, I wouldn’t disclose any information about my clients, but for you, I’ll make an exception.

With your strength and background, the ten million Spirit Stones paid by the Wen family isn’t really a high price.

Jing Yan, your strength is even greater than I had anticipated.”

Mr.

Yin’s words made Jing Yan somewhat puzzled.

There seemed to be a hidden meaning in the words of this leader of the Dark Night.

Jing Yan didn’t immediately respond, and sure enough, Mr.

Yin continued speaking.

“Jing Yan!

Your strength may be strong, but if I really wanted to kill you, you would stand no chance of survival.

Now, I can offer you a chance to live,” Mr.

Yin’s eyes fixed on Jing Yan.

“What chance?” Jing Yan asked with a light laugh.

“Join the Dark Night!”

“If you are willing to become an Assassin of the Dark Night and never show your true face before anyone ever again, then I can spare your life,” Mr.

Yin’s gaze intensified.

He had the intention of recruiting Jing Yan into the Dark Night on a whim.

Before he knew of Jing Yan’s strength, he did not have such thoughts.

His sole purpose in coming to Haofeng City was to kill Jing Yan.

But now, suddenly discovering that Jing Yan could withstand his full-strength strike and not die, Mr.

Yin was extremely surprised.

After all, at the mere age of twenty, Jing Yan possessed such formidable strength; if he were to be recruited into the Dark Night, it would definitely be a significant boost for the organization’s development.

It was with this thought in mind that he had disclosed to Jing Yan that Wen Lan had hired him.

Of course, in his view, it made no difference whether Jing Yan knew this information or not.

If Jing Yan joined the Dark Night, he would have to change his identity.

If he refused, then Jing Yan would become a dead man, and a dead man knowing some information would not matter.

Mr.

Yin’s words brought a smile back to Jing Yan’s face.

Join the Dark Night?

Was it possible?

Not to mention that the Assassin of the Dark Night had once been hired by the Zhao Family to kill his grandfather, Jing Tian.

Even without that incident, Jing Yan would never join the Dark Night to become an assassin.

What’s more, Mr.

Yin also had one condition: Jing Yan could never show his true face in front of anyone, he would forever have to live in the shadows.

“It seems you want to refuse me!” Mr.

Yin, seeing Jing Yan’s expression, guessed Jing Yan’s thoughts and spoke in a cold voice.

“Mr.

Yin!

Killing me won’t be that easy!” Jing Yan chuckled and shouted loudly.

His entire Primordial Energy surged out fiercely!

From afar, the silhouette of Haofeng City Lord Yuan Jihu slowly approached the battlefield.

“Is that Mr.

Jing Yan?”

“And the other…

A Dark Night Assassin!

Damn it, the despicable Dark Night Assassins actually dare to come to my Haofeng City to kill, how outrageous!” Yuan Jihu was seething, wishing he could immediately rush in and slay the Dark Night Assassin.

However, he had already sensed the terrifying energy fluctuations from the two fighters, knowing that this Assassin of the Dark Night must be no small matter.

Furthermore, if this Dark Night Assassin had been ordinary, he should have been killed by Jing Yan by now.

Suppressing his rage, Yuan Jihu didn’t rush headlong to take down the Dark Night Assassin, stopping thousands of meters away.

His thoughts whirling, he was just about to greet Jing Yan.

Before he could speak, he saw Jing Yan’s Red Sword Light spread out from his hand and bombard the Dark Night Assassin.

The Dark Night Assassin, too, unleashed a black Sword Light.

The two fighters clashed once again in combat!

“What the hell…”

“What is going on here?”

As soon as the two engaged, Yuan Jihu was completely astonished.

He could scarcely believe what he was seeing.

Once Jing Yan and the Dark Night Assassin began fighting, the Power they released was terrifying to the point of being inconceivable.

Although Yuan Jihu was thousands of meters away, he could still vividly feel the frightening aura of Destruction.

He felt that if he were to enter the core of that energy, he would barely last a breath before being completely torn apart by their energies.

After all, Yuan Jihu was only at the Peak of the Dao Spirit Realm as a Martial Artist.

In terms of strength, even the Song Family Patriarch was slightly stronger than him.

When Jing Yan was at the Early Dao Spirit Realm, his Combat Power was not below that of the Song Family Patriarch.

Now, as Jing Yan was in the Late Dao Spirit Realm, if he were to strike at the Song Family Patriarch with his current cultivation, the Patriarch would definitely be unable to withstand a single blow.

“Boom!”

The Sword Light from both fighters collided once more.

The black Sword Light and Red Sword Light continuously rolled and tore through the space, with the terrifying black cracks on the spatial boundaries being incredibly clear.

Even the spatial barriers could not wholly bear the terrible impact of their full-strength bombardment.

“Swoosh!”

Jing Yan’s figure was still sent flying, spitting out two mouthfuls of fresh blood as he flew backward.

Jing Yan had activated the Pure Yang Spirit Body while striking, but Mr.

Yin’s attack was simply too strong.

Even the Pure Yang Spirit Body could not immediately repair the severe damage his body had suffered.

Jing Yan was blasted away, whereas Mr.

Yin also retreated several meters, taking a light breath before readjusting the Primordial Energy within the Fog Vortex.

Yuan Jihu watched, dumbfounded, from afar.

When the eyes of the Dark Night Assassin swept toward him, his whole body trembled, as if plunging into a ten-thousand-meter ice cave.

He knew that Jing Yan’s strength was somewhat inferior to that of the Dark Night Assassin.

Speaking of which, he should have helped Jing Yan, but after witnessing the strength of Jing Yan and the Dark Night Assassin, Yuan Jihu understood that if he approached, the Dark Night Assassin would need only one sword thrust, and he would definitely be dead without the slightest chance of survival.

While shocked, Yuan Jihu couldn’t help but mutter inwardly.

Jing Yan’s strength was indeed too powerful; luckily, the Song Family Patriarch had stopped him from making a move against Jing Yan, and then he investigated Jing Yan’s background a bit.

If not for that, had he made a move against Jing Yan, he would have likely been slain with a single strike.

And with Jing Yan’s background, coupled with the fact that he would have been the first to attack, even if Jing Yan struck back and killed him, the City Lord, he might not face any punishment.
