Chapter 203: Killing in the Shop? The Boss Is Angry! (1/4)

I was supposed to update in the early hours of the morning... but I fell asleep halfway through, quite embarrassing.

Ji Wuyou pinched a chess piece in his hand: "Over at Nalan family’s little girl's side, it is about time we can make a move."

"As for that girl's side..." The black-robed man said, "We must be careful of that little shop instead; that shop is no easy mark either."

"Those are assassins I trained with my own hands," Ji Wuyou said. "They won't be like Nalan Ying, adopting a stance beforehand and giving people a chance to react."

"I ordered them to disguise themselves as common martial artists and blend into the shop. I heard that once they use the spiritual artifacts in that shop, their minds and spirits will become immersed in them. Do you think that little girl will be on her guard?"

"Excellent!" A cold smile crept onto the corner of the black-robed man’s mouth. "Sometimes, the places people believe to be the safest are instead the very places where they are more likely to lose their lives!"

...

Ji Wu had only just arrived at the shop today, bringing along the old eunuch, Attendant Yu.

"Master... be careful!" Attendant Yu was suddenly startled. "Old servant feels that the looks in the eyes of those few individuals are somewhat off!"

"Which ones?" Ji Wu’s gaze darkened slightly, looking in the direction Attendant Yu pointed. He saw four or five martial artists gathered in front of the counter, gesturing toward the customers in the shop. Immediately afterward, two martial artists walked further inside, while the other three walked toward the shop entrance.

Ji Wu caught sight of the two martial artists walking straight behind Nalan Mingxue's seat. One of them subtly shifted his wrist, and then reached to cover Nalan Mingxue's delicate neck.

Ji Wu felt somewhat strange: "What is this for?"

Immediately after, Ji Wu seemed to faintly discern a flash of cold light between that man's fingers!

"Watch out!" Ji Wu shouted loudly. Nalan Mingxue also seemed to sense the danger, withdrawing from the virtual reality mode, but at this moment, where could she hide?!

"Ah—!" Several cries of alarm rang out!

At this moment, it would only take a gentle pull of that man's hand to slit her throat instantly!

Most cultivators and martial artists with high cultivation levels would leave a trace of their divided mind to pay attention to the surroundings while playing games. Hearing this commotion, cultivators and martial artists including Lan Mo, An Huwei, Xue Daolv, and Liang Heihu all realized something was happening and looked over.

But the incident happened too suddenly. Even with their cultivation, saving her at this moment was impossible!

At this time, Fang Qi was still inside the game cultivation room, with countless flying swords suspended high behind him to the flank!

Opposite him, Li Xiaoyao was likewise controlling countless flying swords to attack him!

At this moment, Fang Qi’s Thousand Sword Technique was no longer restricted to raining down from the sky, or striking from a single direction!

Li Xiaoyao’s swords could be seen continuously attacking from different angles, yet Fang Qi was actually similarly controlling countless flying swords to defend from various different angles!

Downstairs.

That assassin now revealed a cold, indifferent smile!

He was about to succeed!

Just as the battle between Fang Qi and Li Xiaoyao reached its climax, he suddenly heard a voice: Intruder detected. Danger level high. Initiating Emergency Thunder Punishment!

Behind Nalan Mingxue, a streak of dark red lightning was seen flashing right through their bodies!

The movements of the two martial artists instantly froze!

Almost every cultivator and martial artist who witnessed this scene shivered along with it!

Only now was Fang Qi seen hurriedly rushing down from upstairs, his face somewhat dark: "What happened?"

An intruder—this could absolutely not be anything good!

Naturally, Fang Qi would never have thought that someone would actually make a move in his shop while the customers were thoroughly enjoying their games!

"Boss!" Jiang Xiaoyue was also somewhat shaken with lingering fear at this time. "Two assassins just came! So close! Fortunately, they were struck down by Senior's thunder technique!"

"Assassins...?" One must know that in the past, even the instructors of Lingyun Academy only dared to squat outside the shop! They never came into the shop to seize people!

Now they had actually taken it inside the shop?! Listening to the tone of Jiang Xiaoyue's words, they had almost killed someone?

How could this be tolerated?!

If things were conducted like this in the future, how could this shop still open? Fang Qi’s facial expression naturally would not look pleasant!

"I saw they still have accomplices!" Ji Wu said in a deep voice.

As the emperor, he naturally could not tolerate such schemes against the geniuses of the Dajin State! Thinking of the scene where those few people gathered earlier, he reacted immediately.

Hearing this shout from Ji Wu, the three people who had originally stayed at the door intending to provide backup fled outside instantly!

Ji Wu was the first to give chase, and at the same time, many people also chased out!

The three were seen leaping onto the roof in one step, and immediately afterward they split up to run in three paths! The cultivation of these few people was clearly not low; two Martial Ancestors, and one who, judging by the aura, had already reached the Grand Martial Ancestor realm!

Fang Qi's face darkened, and then he was seen raising his hand, whereupon a streak of silver-bright sword-light flew out. As the sword-light flew out, it split from one into two, and two into four, ultimately turning into a silver-white stream of swords!

"Running?" An unprecedented anger actually appeared on Fang Qi's face. "How about letting you run four hundred meters first?"

The crowd only saw that silver-white stream of swords split from one into three outside the door, the three beams of silver light flying toward three different directions respectively! Wrapped around each sword edge was silver-white electrical light, their speed so fast it was almost beyond everyone's reach!

Almost instantly, two streams of swords caught up to the two Martial Ancestors! The sword-light pierced straight through their chests!

Seeing that he could not escape, the last Grand Martial Ancestor simply stopped and turned around, flipping his wrist to grip a streak of cold light, stepping and thrusting out: "Bee Sting!"

The cold light in his hand instantly turned into countless sword shadows! In the night sky, a large amount of sword streams were seen colliding with the sword shadows, immediately producing an extremely piercing clanging sound of metal on metal!

Only now did everyone see clearly that the swords in that stream numbered about a hundred or so! Every clash of a sword edge erupted with a brilliant burst of electrical light!

When that assassin blocked about a dozen swords, his movements noticeably slowed down, and white electrical lights began to burst out across his entire body one after another!

In the blink of an eye, the rapier in his hand was knocked flying away!

"Keep him alive!" Someone finally shouted.

The sword-light split again! Flowing past from both sides, this assassin was seen flashing with electrical light before slumping to the ground, his body twitching, already unconscious.

"Is this... the Sword Controlling Technique?!"

"It’s the Thousand Sword Technique! But that streak of electrical light is unknown; it doesn't look like the Divine Sword Lightning Controlling Technique either."

"Too terrifying!"

"In heaven or on earth, there is simply nowhere to flee!"

"Unblockable! Unescapable!"

Looking at such terrifying sword technique, everyone smacked their lips in astonishment!

"Investigate it. Whichever family masterminded this, put them all on the blacklist!"

"...The boss is furious!" Nalan Mingxue and Lan Yan, who had originally wanted to come up and offer their thanks, trembled inexplicably, feeling somewhat guilty like thieves.

Moreover, having just gone through the previous incident, Nalan Mingxue was still somewhat shaken, her pretty face still a bit pale.

"Boss..." Lan Yan said somewhat anxiously, "Inside the shop... customer safety will be guaranteed, right...?"

Fang Qi glared over with some annoyance: "Last time it was you, this time it’s you again. Why is it always you who have so much trouble? Next time there's an incident like this, don't even come, the both of you!"

Playing a game meant either having the road blocked by people or being assassinated; it was truly unmatched.

Bringing this up, the onlookers present also felt some lingering fear. If anyone were to be given such a treatment while thoroughly enjoying a game... just thinking about it made them shudder.

Fortunately, that senior possessed vast supernatural powers, as everyone thought in their hearts.

Previously they had only heard rumors, but now, many people had truly and physically experienced it right beside them!
