Chapter 69: This whip will be magnificent.

    Yu Xuan turned left and right in the factory. The scorching high-temperature forge made the air very hot, but layers of cold air appeared on his body, condensing into ice armor, and then his expression relaxed a little.

    He went all the way to the deepest part of the secret room. After waiting for a long time, Zhou Xian arrived, his right sleeve still empty, and his expression calm: “He agreed?”

    “Yes.” Yu Xuan nodded, with a hint of pride, “After all, he’s just a vagrant. He can’t resist.”

    These words made Zhou Xian’s face turn ugly. “Are you saying that I couldn’t do anything to him because I wasn’t capable enough?”

    Yu Xuan shrugged, not showing much awe towards Zhou Xian who was now down on his luck. “I didn’t mean that.”

    Zhou Xian’s heart was annoyed, but he forced himself to suppress it and said in a deep voice, “After you get the Space Crystal and the extracted Heituo power, kill Su Chen directly.”

    Yu Xuan was surprised and couldn’t help but ask, “Don’t we still need his help to infiltrate Yuan Chenyang?”

    “I lied to him.” Zhou Xian sneered, “I have to give him a follow-up so that the previous matters can proceed smoothly.”

    “Old fox.” Yu Xuan cursed inwardly, then asked hesitantly, “Is this what the High Priest means?”

    “Of course, he blasphemed your gods, so he must die.” Zhou Xian nodded.

    “That’s reasonable.” Yu Xuan didn’t show excessive fanaticism, but only worried: “He is already a Tier 2 Professional, and he should be a Gale Hunter. Even with a sneak attack, it will be difficult to kill him.”

    Zhou Xian casually threw an object. “Catch!”

    The object came so fast and abruptly that Yu Xuan’s face changed slightly, and he hastily extended his right hand.

    Bang!

    He staggered back a few steps, and a sharp pain came from his palm. Yu Xuan gritted his teeth and looked down, only to see a black rhomboid crystal, which looked even more enchanting in the blood on his palm.

    “This is…” Yu Xuan recognized it, quite surprised and delighted: “This way, there will be no problem.”

    “Get lost.” Zhou Xian waved his hand, his demeanor even less like the former head of the Internal Affairs Hall.

    Before Yu Xuan could turn around, Zhou Xian’s face suddenly turned extremely ugly, and he shouted sharply, “Idiot, you don’t even know you’ve brought a tail.”

    Yu Xuan’s face twitched blankly. Before he could react, he heard the rumbling sound of an explosion from outside.

    “Retreat!” Zhou Xian didn’t hesitate, and without even looking at Yu Xuan, he scurried out.

    “Where are you running!” A roar came from outside, and Yu Xuan’s heart pounded as he quickly left through the secret passage.

    ……

    “He’s out…” Su Chen sensed the faint spiritual imprint, not daring to approach the encirclement, carefully circling from the outside.

    Boom!

    Thunder roared in the sky, and distant blue lightning flashed, accompanied by rising green flames.

    “Zhou Xian is here too…”

    Su Chen withdrew his gaze. Zhou Xian was not someone he could provoke at the moment. If he could catch him, that would be great; if not, there was nothing he could do.

    “Someone’s here!”

    The rumbling outside continued, and Yu Xuan’s scalp tingled. He was surrounded by the Supervision Department’s airships, and beams of light illuminated the area.

    “Was it really me who led them here?”

    These airships seemed to arrive one after another with Zhou Xian, but arranging an encirclement and killing within a short time was impossible, so they must have been prepared long ago.

    He reacted very quickly. This was a factory area, with plenty of places to hide, so he quickly disappeared into the shadows.

    “How could I be targeted?”

    He was anxious. He had been well hidden and only recently activated, so how could he be targeted as soon as he made a move? There was only one possibility.

    “Su Chen reported me? How dare he!” Yu Xuan was incredulous. They were all followers of the Guiding, and none of them were clean.

    How dare Su Chen report him? Didn’t he think about himself?

    “Damn it, damn it…” Yu Xuan was extremely agitated, his pupils gradually turning black. “As long as I escape, you’re dead!” “Even if I get caught today, I’ll drag you down with me. At worst, we’ll go down together!”

    However, what surprised Yu Xuan was that no one seemed to be specifically targeting him.

    The scattered workers

    confused the situation, and he gradually got out of the encirclement.

    “How could this happen?” Yu Xuan muttered again. If Su Chen had reported him, someone would definitely be watching him.

    The current situation was more like the Supervision Department didn’t know who exactly was in the factory, so their encirclement was very dispersed.

    “In any case, it must be related to him.” Yu Xuan took a breath and stopped in a small alley, glancing back at the distant patrol airship, feeling secretly relieved.

    “Fortunately, I escaped…”

    Before his thoughts could settle, Yu Xuan’s hairs stood on end. He heard a thunderous roar from above, the surroundings turned crimson, and the air suddenly reeked of scorched ozone.

    He abruptly looked up, only to see a scarlet lightning bolt, as thick as an arm and several meters long, twisting and spreading above his head. Just one glance made Yu Xuan’s heart pound.

    But the target didn’t seem to be him. A black shadow suddenly sprang out from an unexpected angle, holding a long, green, whip-like weapon that whipped towards him with violent winds!

    As if precisely calculated, the scarlet lightning struck exactly when the whip lashed down.

    Crackling—the green rope whip drew in the lightning, and the two energies intertwined like living things. It was instantly enveloped in scarlet electric arcs, a chilling murderous intent, unstoppable.

    All of this happened almost in an instant. His pupils rapidly contracted in the bright light, but Yu Xuan’s subconscious reaction was very fast. His hands were already pushed forward, forming a cold barrier in the biting wind.

    Crack!

    A blast echoed from the end of the green rope whip!

    Snap!

    The ice barrier was shattered, and shattered ice crystals flew everywhere.

    “Who in the world is it?!” Yu Xuan’s eyes widened, as if he wanted to see the attacker clearly. His hand barely reached into his pocket, seemingly wanting to take something out, but it was too late.

    Rumble!

    The scarlet lightning poured out, instantly enveloping Yu Xuan’s body. The roar made Su Chen’s heart throb.

    [Path of Hunt: Targets completed — 2]

    “Was he directly burned to charcoal?” Su Chen looked at the charred corpse, the smell of burning filling the air. He himself was stunned, then looked at the iron whip in his hand that still had scarlet lightning arcs.

    It wasn’t Su Chen’s first sneak attack, and he had accumulated a lot of experience, acting when the opponent was most relaxed mentally.

    The opponent was a Tier 2 Advanced Professional, even if he hadn’t yet reached 50%, he shouldn’t be underestimated.

    Without holding back, the [Wrath of the Gale] blessed the iron whip, and he used [Crimson Lightning Strike] to draw lightning, which, when layered, was incredibly powerful.

    But the result exceeded his expectations; he didn’t even have to strike a second time.

    “That’s it, huh…” Su Chen shook his head, then suddenly realized, “The commotion is a bit big; I need to leave quickly.”

    His peripheral vision caught the charred corpse again. He rushed forward quickly, expertly searched the body, and then vanished without a trace.

    Not long after, a patrol airship landed, and several Supervision Guards formed a formation, cautiously investigating.

    Climbing in through the window, Su Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    “Killed another one…”

    Su Chen tidied his clothes and mused, “Yu Xuan died near the Guiding Cult’s den. The official side should have a conclusion, but the Heituo believers will most likely suspect me. I wonder if the next step will be an assassination or a report.”

    “It’s a pity that the storage space is no longer enough, and time is too short. Otherwise, if Yu Xuan disappeared, it might have dragged on for some time.”

    “However, with this thing…”

    Su Chen stretched out his palm, clenching a black rhomboid crystal.
