Chapter 792: Assassination Attempt
For the Tang beauty, it wasn't an easy choice either, as she was stuck between her personal and egotistical desires and her Family.
If Tianlong Yun truly had the strength to truly topple her Family by himself, her decision wouldn't cause harm instead, it would save a lot of lives, but what if he was just lying to her, and was tricking her.
Then it would be the same as betraying her family for good and she would be remembered just as an unfilial daughter who actually betrayed her Family and hand it over to an outsider.
This was certainly a difficult dilemma and crossroads for her. Something that would change her life forever, her future depended on this.
Her family had brought her to life and given her such a life but at the same time, the temptation of reaching the peak and showing her worth to them was her sore spot as well.
In this situation she was unable to decide, she was unable to pick a side. With those thoughts in her mind, she decided to postpone her decision-making.
'How about this, I will follow you if you manage to take over the Tang Family without destroying them, and their foundation!'
'Hahahahaah~! You surely know how to joke, don't you beauty!? Then why would I need you!?'
'Well if you are as strong and resourceful as you say then you wouldn't need me either way! So I guess there is something else that I possess that has caught your attention!
I would think it was my womanly charms or my temperament, but you don't seem like a guy that would fall for a woman this easily.
So while I have no idea what you want from me, or what I possess that has attracted your attention, I believe it must be something precious and worth revealing your plans to me fearlessly!'
At first, she started this reasoning as a means to try and hit equal grounds, but the more she continued the more she found out that she was actually hitting upon something.
Even though Tianlong Yun didn't show any sign or reaction toward the conjecture, she still felt that she had hit the nail's head blindly.
She had no idea what Tianlong Yun had seen or wanted from her, but it certainly was something special, that she could bargain for.
For a few moments, there was full silence in the room, as the beautiful Tang Li couldn't help but get a bit nervous.
She had no idea of Tianlong Yun's personality, so there was a high possibility of him being a crazy cultivator that would actually kill her for her trying to bargain and knowing more than she should!
'Hahahahaha~! Good, good, my eyes haven't mistaken me, you are truly a good seedling! Very well, I shall do as you asked, I will try my best to control the spilled blood and lost lives.
But you should already understand, that even this perfect-looking apple, has quite a few worms inside it that need to be cleaned up if I want to eat it whole.'
'I understand that!'
'Very well, as long as you understand that! Be careful though, while I do appreciate you a lot if you dare to take a wrong step, death will be the last of your worries!'
'Yes, I understand! Very well, now go and sit on the bed cultivating! We are having guests tonight!'
'What!? Who would dare'
'Hehehe~! Little girl, this world is much darker and more terrifying than it looks! Everyone shows the face of an immortal but it's actually a black demon in their heart!
You don't have to worry, everything will be solved and taken care of cleanly!'
'This okay!'
Just like that, despite being incensed at being called a 'little girl' the Tang beauty sat on the bed to cultivate, while Tianlong Yun was still lying on the floor injured, seeming on the brink of death.
He looked like the easiest target that one could even think of, probably just like cutting the head of a chicken that was already placed on the chicken board.
Like that day slowly flowed away, while night descended. Even though Tang Li was doing as he said and was cultivating in peace, the truth was that she didn't truly believe his words much.
After all, no matter what this was the Tang Family Mansion who would dare to enter the Mansion with her father and the elders in there, it was just like seeking for their death.
Unless there was a mole in her Tang Family No, no, no, how could that even be possible!? No matter how much displeased those Elders were they wouldn't betray the Family.
As the beauty was thinking like that, she suddenly felt like she saw two dark shadows suddenly move at each other and then separate.
'Aarrggghhhh~!'
It happened so fast that she felt like it was just her eyes and mind playing games at her for hearing Tianlong Yun's claim earlier, but the next moment those thoughts were completely crumbled upon hearing a scream.
That was just the beginning though, as the next moment, 6 more shadows appeared around the body of Tianlong Yun, while a 7th one was standing right beside him in a calm and composed manner.
"Who are you!? Are you thinking of becoming an enemy of Assassin King's Hall!?"
"Hehehe~! Assassin King Hall, such a noble and grand name! Aren't you afraid of becoming the world's target by using this arrogant and cocky name!?"
"Hehehe~! There were many who tried, but they didn't live for long to tell the tale, they all disappeared from this world, together with their chickens, cats, and dogs!"
"Really!? Now you have truly incited this old man's interest, let us see just how fierce you truly are!"
"Haiz~! Another blind fool who thinks that he can oppose my Assassin's King Hall! Take him down, but don't kill him yet, I want to make him regret every word!"
Those words were said full of arrogance, confidence, and domineering. This leader guy of the group seemed just like he could control the clouds and rain with a move of his hands.
The next moment the 5 other shadows around him disappeared from their location and jumped towards the black shadow protecting Tianlong Yun.
They were just like ghosts and spirits, even the beauty Tang Li that was actually keeping a careful eye on them couldn't 'see' their movements.
The shadow protecting Tianlong Yun's body didn't move from his position, he just waited for the assassins to approach him, and right when they were about to cut on him, the energy and Qi around disappeared all of a sudden!
Not only that, but even the air around them was heavy, and it felt like they had actually fallen into a deep and bothersome swamp.
Before they were even able to think of their current predicament, they felt a cold sword swipe through their necks, and pierce through their chests.
Reflexively they all placed their hands on their throats and tried to look down on their hearts, only to feel the warm blood on their hands, and those see-through holes on their chests.
The Life's Regret had reaped their lives and their souls, leaving only their leader behind who couldn't believe his own eyes, and senses.
He hadn't even seen that black-dressed guy's shadow before all 5 of his accomplices had fallen on the ground and died.
They had never thought that they would face such a thing, this was supposed to be an extremely easy mission that would truly take them to the top, and make their fame spread high and wide.
Unfortunately, this seemed nothing short of a dream at this moment, as death was right in front of the poor leader's eyes.
"Ptui~! Useless things dirtied my blade with their blood! After that grand name, and those words I thought that you would at least resist one of my attacks, you died all five in one move!
Now I am angry Mister Leader!"
"Youu This"
"Haiz~! Just go and die, I don't want to lose whatever mood I have left with you!"
Saying that the black-dressed man immediately took the last remaining assassin's life before he could even get out of his shock and think of running away before he turned to the only living assassin.
It was that guy who had made the first move, his strength was the weakest out of all these guys, as he was only at the Nascent Soul Realm.
These guys from the Assassin King Hall were by no means weak, as each and every one of them was a Great Ascension Boundary Realm expert, it was just that in Tianlong Yun's eyes, they were no different from ants.
It wasn't difficult for Tianlong Yun to create a body double for a little while and take charge of the situation by himself with his means and abilities.
'AArrghhh, aarrgghhh...'
One could even say that it was as simple as flipping his hand. But that didn't matter right now, as he approached the painfully screaming assassin, and said,
"Tell me who sent you before you die!"
Sensing the killing intent directed at him, and the brutality of this black dressed man, the painfully screaming assassin stopped screaming in pain for a moment before screaming in a threatening tone,
"Stop, you can't kill, do you know who I am!? I am the grand-grand-grand-grand-son of the Tang Family Ancestor, I am Tang Feng!
If you kill me the whole Tang Family will come to hunt you down and kill you!"
The idiot even took his mask off at that time, as if trying to prove his identity, while the black-dressed expert, Tianlong Yun, didn't know whether he should laugh or cry at this moment
