Wang Ruoxie was naturally no stranger to murderous intent. In his past life, he transformed into the Blood Demon, waging battles against the strong of the Celestial Realm, staining billions of miles with blood.

Therefore, although that strand of murderous intent was extremely subtle, he could still clearly sense it.

"It seems they've finally decided to make a move."

A trace of cold light flickered in Wang Ruoxie's eyes, and the last remnant of obsession in his heart completely dissipated.

Originally, although he had recovered the memories of his past life and acknowledged his identity as the son of the Celestial Emperor, no matter what, blood is thicker than water.

Even though he harbored hatred towards the First Lady and Wang Ruokun, if the two of them had restrained themselves, at least not taking that final step, perhaps in the end, he wouldn't have gone to extremes.

However, the appearance of assassins made him realize that these so-called blood relatives were clearly willing to go to the final step.

Since that is the case, he naturally wouldn't be merciful. In either past or present life, anyone who dared to make a move against him wouldn't be spared.

"Come out."

Looking toward the direction from which the murderous intent emanated, Wang Ruoxie spoke slowly.

After a moment of silence, two figures suddenly darted out of the dense forest.

These were two men dressed in black, their faces covered with black cloth.

"Two assassins at the First Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm, they do seem to think highly of me."

Wang Ruoxie looked indifferently at the two black-clad assassins, speaking in a cold voice.

"I heard that the Seventh Young Master not only started cultivating but also improved his cultivation to the Eighth Layer of the Body Tempering Realm within three months. Not long ago, he even defeated Wang Lang, the steward of the Marquis's Mansion at the Ninth Layer of the Body Tempering Realm, with one punch. I didn't believe it before, but now it seems that the Seventh Young Master is even more formidable than rumored."

One of the black-clad assassins spoke.

"Able to kill a Tier Two Low Level Demon Beast, your strength might not even be inferior to a genuine First Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm, perhaps even exceeds it. Fortunately, we came today; otherwise, we might not have been able to kill you."

The other black-clad assassin also spoke to Wang Ruoxie.

"I suppose that Tiger Ferocity Army soldier has already been killed by you."

Wang Ruoxie coldly looked at the two black-clad assassins, saying.

Evidently, these two assassins had been following him for some time. If not for accidentally releasing a trace of murderous intent just now, he might not have discovered them.

"That waste dared to try and stop the two of us, simply courting death."

One black-clad assassin sneered.

"However, he did have quite a few good things on him, even possessing a Storage Pouch of Lower Grade Treasure Artifact level, inside of which were the corpses of over a dozen Tier Two Low Level Demon Beasts, quite an unexpected boon."

The other black-clad assassin also spoke.

"Those demon beast corpses are my achievements for the hunting tournament this time, how could you take them? Besides, since you dare come to kill me, you should have the awareness of being killed by me."

Wang Ruoxie slowly uttered in an icy tone.

Finishing his words, he abruptly charged forward, the bow and arrows in his hands, releasing six Feathered Arrows towards the two black-clad assassins.

Facing two First Layer assassins of the Energy-Introducing Realm, Wang Ruoxie did not dare be careless.

Even though he possessed the strength of two oxen and one tiger, combined with experience from his past life, it would not be easy to kill an assassinated with practical experience at the First Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm, let alone when facing two at once.

"Clang, clang..."

The two black-clad assassins coldly sneered, then swung the sabers in their hands, knocking down all the attacking arrows.

Then, they simultaneously advanced, attacking Wang Ruoxie.

True Qi surged, and the sabers in their hands suddenly burst into flames, eventually engulfing the entire blade.

"A Lower Grade Treasure Artifact with Fire Rune."

Wang Ruoxie's eyes slightly narrowed. These two assassins had clearly cultivated Fire Attribute Cultivation and Martial Techniques and wielded Lower Grade Treasure Artifacts, making them not easy to deal with.

However, he may still have a chance of victory. The black longsword in his hand, although only a Top Grade Mortal Artifact, was made from materials that could be used to forge a Treasure Artifact, not just a Lower Grade one, so its hardness was not inferior to these assassins' Lower Grade Treasure Artifacts.

This way, at least his weapon wouldn't be easily cut through by the opponents.

In an instant, the three were locked in combat.

The clash of blades and swords resulted in a deafening sound.

Wang Ruoxie only felt two powerful forces continuously crashing against his longsword, shaking his hand to numbness. After all, the physical strength at the First Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm already possessed the power of three oxen, not to mention the additional power of True Qi.

Especially after a few exchanges, although the longsword was not cut in half by the two black-clad assassins' Treasure Sabers, it was scorched red by the flames, an extremely hot sensation transmitted along the sword, which even the current physical strength of Wang Ruoxie found difficult to bear.

Were it an ordinary person, they would have dropped the sword long ago.

A few breaths later, Wang Ruoxie found himself at a disadvantage, almost being hit by the assassins' sabers a few times.

"It seems I need to break through to the Energy-Introducing Realm as soon as possible."

Wang Ruoxie helplessly smiled.

Although his current physical strength was not much weaker than the First Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm and his experience and techniques were far superior to the average, he could entirely contend with or even defeat ordinary Martial Cultivators at the First Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm, but compared to genuine Energy-Introducing Realm cultivators, he was at a great disadvantage in many aspects.

The most crucial point was that his various techniques from the previous life required True Qi as the foundation to be executed.

Escape? He couldn't escape, nor would he choose to.

A fierce determination flashed in Wang Ruoxie's eyes, he advanced instead of retreating, thrusting his longsword towards one of the black-clad assassins.

He completely ignored the attack from the other black-clad assassin.

In such a moment, attack was the best defense. Since he couldn't handle two assassins simultaneously, he would kill one first and then the other.

In this strike, Wang Ruoxie used the Eighth Layer's strength of the Ninth Layer Force and the technique of the Spiral Force.

The terrifying strength directly knocked the assassin's Treasure Saber out of his hand, and it further pierced through the opponent's Heart Vein completely.

Not believing his own eyes, the assassin glanced down at the bloody hole in his chest before falling limply to the ground, dead.

"Die."

The other assassin, seeing his companion killed, roared in fury and then slashed fiercely at Wang Ruoxie's chest.

Instantly, Wang Ruoxie's chest was cut open with a deep gash revealing bone, blood spraying out, and the flames entwined around the saber scorched his flesh to black cinders.

However, not only did he not dodge, but he directly grabbed the opponent's saber with his other hand and then chopped off the opponent's head with his sword.

The head rolled on the ground, the assassin's eyes round in disbelief, unwilling to rest in peace.

Even in death, he could not comprehend why this guy was so ruthless, not only to the enemy but also to himself, making him seem even more suited to being an assassin than they were.

What puzzled him the most was how, with Wang Ruoxie's cultivation at the Eighth Layer of the Body Tempering Realm, not only was his strength comparable to the First Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm, but his physique was incredibly robust, so much so that a Lower Grade Treasure Artifact couldn't completely cut him down.

He didn't realize that Wang Ruoxie's body had already undergone initial tempering by the Blood God Essence Blood, and he had absorbed a substantial amount of Demon Beast Heart Blood, resulting in a physique far superior to those of the same realm as average Martial Cultivators.

This was still due to Wang Ruoxie's low cultivation; if he could break through to the Energy-Introducing Realm, even a Lower Grade Treasure Artifact might not be able to harm him in the slightest.

"Today's events, I, Wang Ruoxie, will remember."

Wang Ruoxie took a glance at the wound on his chest and the hand blackened like charcoal, speaking a cold tone.

Then he searched the bodies of the two assassins, gaining quite a haul.
