Chapter 43
After walking for a few more hours without any hurdles, the golden carriage suddenly came to a stop . The guard narrowed their gazes at the shadowy figure in the front, and the old man slowly stood up .
Seeing this sudden development, Su Yang also halted his steps . The shadowy figure was clad in full black robes with only his two black eyeballs exposed, looking like an assassin . However, a real assassin wouldn't reveal himself this openly and obviously .
"Is this some kind of joke?" The old man opened his mouth to ask the shadowy figure . "The Moonlight Blades had sent you, a single Earth Spirit Realm expert here, despite being aware of my presence?"
The shadowy figure chuckled and said in a hoarse-sounding voice: "I am only here to pass on a message to the young lady inside that carriage on the behalf of my king . "
"If you do not obediently hand over the Hundred Poisons Body by the time the next full moon is present, then we will have no choice but to take it by force," said the shadowy figure .
When the soldiers on the horses heard the message, their eyes radiated with anger .
"How imprudent! Have you forgotten who we are?! Even if the Moonlight Blades were to attack us with full force, you wouldn't even get past the front gate!" One of the guards shouted loudly .
"How dare you threaten the young lady! It will only be a matter of time before we find your hideout and wipe you out!" said another guard .
"Hahaha!" The shadowy figure burst out laughing . "Of course, if we were to fight you head-on, our Moonlight Blades would stand no chance . However, who do you think we are? You should know better than anyone else that we will never fight fists with fists!"
Su Yang silently listened to the conversation being held by the two parties, both of them with a seemingly profound background . Although he has never heard of the Moonlight Blades before, they seemed to be some sort of faction that lives in the shadow .
"The Hundred Poisons Body, huh…" Su Yang pondered the name .
"Is that all you have to say?" said the old man, who has been silent this whole time . "If that's all, then you may die now…"
The old man suddenly retrieved a paper fan from inside his robe and gently waved it at the direction of the shadowy figure .
A powerful ripple appeared from the paper fan the moment the old man waved it, causing it to fly towards the shadowy figure . However, before the ripple could touch him, the shadowy figure disappeared from where he stood like a ghost, and where he just stood exploded an instant later .
The old man suddenly turned to look at Su Yang and shouted: "Watch out!"
"Knowing that I would die today, I had planned to take a few of your guards with me before I die . However, this kid's face is very annoying to look at, so be gracious that I will take his life instead!"
The shadowy figure suddenly appeared behind Su Yang with a black dagger in his grasp raised and ready to strike .
However, unfortunately for the shadowy figure, Su Yang's grasp was already on the sword handle by his side before the shadowy figure even disappeared .
A profound and fierce light flashed within Su Yang's eyes, and an overwhelming amount of sword intent exploded from within his body, causing the shadowy figure to freeze for an instant from the sudden pressure .
The instant the shadowy figure was frozen from shock, Su Yang swiftly turned around and unsheathed his sword, sending a powerful wave of sword intent towards the shadowy figure .
