Chapter 1398 - 1398 The War Begins After the Slaughter

1398 The War Begins After the Slaughter
Chu Yunfan instantly vanished after crushing a Core in one move. He then appeared before another black-clothed man.
The black-clothed man could not even react, and Chu Yunfan’s punch smashed through him, causing him to die on the spot. Afterward, Chu Yunfan condensed a powerful sword-shaped light and slashed it outward.
Before they knew it, two more assassins got cut in half in midair. Although it took a while to describe, everything happened in a split second. The remaining men in black immediately sensed the extreme danger.
They were astonished as they had never faced such a terrifying person. Cores resembled ancestors in an assassin organization. They had seen various experts like them and killed countless Cores. There were numerous experts and even terrifying existences they could fight against. However, none could compare to Chu Yunfan since he could kill them as quickly as breathing in and out.
Six assassins came after Chu Yunfan, and he had already killed five. The remaining assassin was horrified as it was the first time they had felt like this since breaking through to the Core Stage.!!
It almost made them want to turn around and escape.
“You want to flee now?” Chu Yunfan sneered and pulled out his bow before shooting an arrow he formed with his thunder power. It shot across the sky and nailed the remaining assassin to the ground.
Everything happened so quickly to Wei Wuya that it seemed like a split second. He thought it was too dazzling. He only sensed danger, but Chu Yunfan had already killed all six assassins.
Wei Wuya looked at Chu Yunfan in a daze as if looking at a monster. He knew how terrifying Core assassins were. Previously, Great Wei had paid a great prince to eliminate these assassins. Wei Wuya and the Imperial Guards trapped and attacked the assassins in a valley. They fought day to night, trying to kill each other.
Wei Wuya and the others paid an excruciating price in the process.
‘How can they stand up to someone like Chu Yunfan, who easily killed these terrifying experts as quickly as chopping fruits and vegetables?’
It made Wei Wuya realize Chu Yunfan might have surpassed the current Cores’ levels. Although he might not have entered the Core Stage, his combat strength had already surpassed theirs.
After a long while, Wei Wuya finally spoke. “You’re absolutely formidable. I didn’t expect you to be so powerful, Master Chu!”
Chu Yunfan grabbed the assassin’s corpses and put them into the Mountain River Diagram. He thought he might as well recycle their corpses.
Chu Yunfan said lightly, “They were too weak.”
Wei Wuya sighed despite himself when he saw Chu Yunfan’s calm expression. The former thought, ‘Now that’s the right way to show off!’
However, he did not know these assassins were too weak for Chu Yunfan. They were not even as strong as Mi Siyuan because these assassins were only good at assassination.
Their combat strength would be at the bottom of the Core Stage if they were discovered. Therefore, eliminating them was a breeze for Chu Yunfan, not much more challenging than killing Divines.
Still, it was simply too awe-inspiring to Wei Wuya. He knew it was not a matter of acting cool to Chu Yunfan. After all, this was reality.
“The Imperial Court has invested a lot into this matter.” Wei Wuya sighed. He knew hiring Divine assassins, let alone Cores, was costly because of the target they intended to eliminate.
Still, no expert was easy to deal with. Hence, the cost was so high that it would be unimaginable for ordinary people, especially since they had hired six assassins in one go.
‘That would empty almost the whole national treasury!’
“It’s useless. The Imperial Court thinks I’m just an ordinary Core, so they’re playing these boring tricks,” Chu Yunfan said lightly.
Even the Imperial family’s First Guardian, a peak Void Core, was not Chu Yunfan’s match, let alone these Core assassins. After all, Chu Yunfan’s physique was unique. One would say he had the most robust physique in the era of emperors, not to mention the modern era. After reaching this stage, he could sweep through them immediately. Those who used the First Guardian, or General Ye Fei, to measure his strength were genuinely mistaken.
Such a lineup was enough to assassinate General Ye Fei. Still, for Chu Yunfan, his solid defense was enough to resist such an assassination, even if he overlooked the assassins.
“Yes, it might be a small trick to you.” Wei Wuya looked at Chu Yunfan enviously. However, he quickly collected his thoughts because he knew his path differed from Chu Yunfan’s, as the latter was the path of an emperor.
“Since you’ve already used such a move, the final battle is about to begin. Go and prepare,” Chu Yunfan said.
“Yes.” Wei Wuya immediately went to do as Chu Yunfan instructed. After all, the assassination attempt gave him a sense of urgency. If it were not for Chu Yunfan, he would have died. The protection of a top-notch expert was imperative.
The three hundred thousand-man army gathered under Wei Wuya’s orders. The whole of Conglong began moving at breakneck speed. Still, just feeding these soldiers was a massive issue. Fortunately, both sides wanted to quickly end the battle and not to drag it out for long.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and a mighty army of over a million people arrived at Conglong—the long lines and countless soldiers surrounded the place.
Although Conglong was massive, a million soldiers could surround it. Meanwhile, Wei Wuya’s army of three hundred thousand men had left the city to set up a formation that stretched as far as the eye could see.
The battle to determine the fate of the world had finally begun.
