Royal City, Zhu Family.

A middle-aged man sat in the rather luxurious hall, his face extremely grim.

"Patriarch, Wang Ruoxie has already left the Royal City."

At this moment, an old man in gray walked in, bowed to the middle-aged man, and spoke.

"Have the assassins of the Blood Fiend Sect set off?"

The middle-aged man asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, they set off an hour ago."

The old man nodded and replied.

"The Blood Fiend Sect is the largest assassin organization in the East Victory Kingdom. Although they are very expensive, as long as they take on a task, they never fail. With them making a move, that little brat is sure to die."

The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with a cold gleam, filled with killing intent, as he said.

...

Seeing the masked men who suddenly appeared in front of them, Tang Miaoyin frowned slightly; assassins.

"Be careful, they should be assassins from the Blood Fiend Sect."

Tang Miaoyin turned her head and whispered to Wang Ruoxie.

"Blood Fiend Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ruoxie frowned slightly. He had naturally heard of this Blood Fiend Sect.

Although the Blood Fiend Sect was not one of the Nine Great Sects, its power was comparable to the Upper Three Sects among them.

It is said that the Blood Fiend Sect has existed for hundreds of years, and its foundation is not much different from the Celestial Sword Sect.

Most importantly, the Blood Fiend Sect is a purely assassin organization, their assassins are omnipresent, impossible to guard against, and are truly a major malignancy in the East Victory Kingdom.

The assassins of the Blood Fiend Sect are all adept in assassination techniques, extremely difficult to deal with.

Facing several assassins at the early stage of the Element Transformation Realm at the same time, even he had to be careful in handling them.

"Seventh Princess, our target is him, please do not interfere."

At this time, one of the assassins spoke to Tang Miaoyin.

Tang Miaoyin was the Seventh Princess of the Royal Family and a well-known beauty, they naturally recognized her.

"What if I insist on interfering?"

Tang Miaoyin said coldly.

"Then don't blame us for being ruthless."

The assassin replied coldly.

"Are you so confident you can kill the both of us?"

Wang Ruoxie looked indifferently at the assassin and spoke.

"We are well aware of your strength, although your cultivation is only at the Ninth Layer of Energy-Introducing Realm, even those at the Third Layer of the Element Transformation Realm may not be your match. However, we are not ordinary martial cultivators, today you will surely die."

The assassin sneered and replied.

"If that's the case, then make your move."

Wang Ruoxie said.

"Kill."

With a soft shout, six assassins simultaneously attacked Wang Ruoxie and Tang Miaoyin.

The assassin who previously spoke brandished a broadsword, slashing directly towards Wang Ruoxie.

The blade gleamed with red light, surrounded by intense flames.

As the broadsword slashed down, rolling heat waves surged forth.

Meanwhile, two other assassins activated the inscriptions on their weapons, attacking Wang Ruoxie.

Wang Ruoxie stood firmly in place, wielding the long sword he himself crafted, a middle grade spiritual artifact, slashing towards the three attacking him.

"Cloud Emergence Technique."

The first form of the Shocking God Sword Technique, the Cloud Emergence Technique was instantly executed.

The power of the spiritual artifact far surpassed that of a treasure artifact. Moreover, the long sword Wang Ruoxie crafted was engraved with five inscriptions, and once activated, its power soared multiple times.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Accompanied by three crisp sounds, the weapons of the three assassins were instantly cut off.

"Spiritual Artifact..."

The three assassins couldn't help but exclaim, their eyes filled with greed.

Their weapons were all top-grade treasure artifacts, yet they were severed so easily, clearly indicating that the opponent's weapon must be a spiritual artifact.

No matter what, they must obtain this spiritual artifact longsword.

"Die."

The three assassins exchanged glances, each pulling out a black dagger, its surface glistening coldly, clearly not an ordinary dagger.

In the next moment, their bodies suddenly separated.

Immediately thereafter, they seemed to transform into shadows, sinking into the ground.

Only three shadows raced swiftly across the ground.

"Shadow Transformation?"

Wang Ruoxie's eyes narrowed slightly, then flashed with a cold smile. His longsword swung out instantly, three strands of sword qi forming and shooting directly underground.

"Ah..."

Accompanied by three horrific screams, the three assassins emerged from the shadows, each with a deep bone-revealing wound on their bodies.

"How is it possible? The Shadow Killing Technique is formless and shapeless, how could you hurt us?"

The assassin who spoke earlier said in disbelief.

The Shadow Killing Technique was the unique assassination technique of the Blood Fiend Sect, comparable to a mid-grade Profound Level martial technique, and even on par with an upper-grade Profound Level martial technique.

Even when facing opponents whose cultivation power exceeded theirs, they could still assassinate them successfully using the Shadow Killing Technique.

Wang Ruoxie had no interest in wasting words with these assassins; since they dared to come to kill him, they must be prepared to be killed.

"Escape!"

Feeling the killing intent emanating from Wang Ruoxie, the three assassins dared not hesitate for even a moment, leaping up and turning to flee frantically.

Unfortunately, Wang Ruoxie's speed already far exceeded theirs, not to mention they were injured.

In just a few breaths, Wang Ruoxie caught up to them, killing them one by one with a single sword stroke.

By this time, Tang Miaoyin had also dealt with the three assassins surrounding her.

"Do you know who is behind this?"

Tang Miaoyin looked at Wang Ruoxie and asked.

"The Zhu Family."

A glimmer of cold light flashed in Wang Ruoxie's eyes as he spoke.

Currently in the entire Royal City, the only person or entity who shared a mortal enmity with him and had the power to hire assassins from the Blood Fiend Sect was the Zhu Family.

"It seems the news about you killing Zhu An has reached the Zhu Family."

Tang Miaoyin frowned slightly and spoke again.

"The Zhu Family and I are already locked in a death feud. After returning from the Underground Blood Cave, I will make them pay for this."

Wang Ruoxie's words were tinged with a chilling killing intent.

He was never someone to sit back and take hits passively. Originally, after killing Zhu An, he hadn't intended to trouble the Zhu Family further, but it seemed he had been too merciful.

If this was the case, he would let the Zhu Family see the consequences of provoking him.

"The Zhu Family is nothing to fear; you should be more cautious of the Blood Fiend Sect."

Tang Miaoyin nodded slightly and continued, "The reason the Blood Fiend Sect strikes terror in so many is not only due to their assassins' techniques but also because even if they fail, they won't give up. They will continue to send more formidable assassins until the target is dead."

"Next time, the attackers might be assassins at the middle stage of the Element Transformation Realm or even with higher cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ruoxie nodded and then said, "No problem, let's hurry to the Underground Blood Cave."

He naturally understood organizations like the Blood Fiend Sect very well. In his previous life, he had been pursued by the Three Realms' top assassin organization, the Underworld Sect, for ten days and nights, and countless assassins had died at his hands.

In the end, he had resolved it by directly attacking the Underworld Sect's headquarters and killing the sect leader.

Although his current cultivation and strength were not yet sufficient to contend with the Blood Fiend Sect, as long as he could reach the Element Transformation Realm during this trip to the Underground Blood Cave, he would not be afraid even if attacked by assassins at the middle stage of the Element Transformation Realm.
