Chapter 77 The Pinnacle!

"Damn it, I was careless!"

Although the man in black was momentarily stunned by the headbutt, as a martial artist at the second level of the Qi Condensation Realm, he quickly recovered and, despite the pain in his nose, launched a counterattack.

He concentrated his inner energy in his face, then suddenly looked up and rammed back at Jiang Yanming, retaliating for the headbutt he had delivered earlier.

Just then, Jiang Yanming released his grip and quickly stepped back to prevent the other person from grabbing his hand.

"He has rich combat experience; he doesn't seem to have returned from the Four Nations Alliance." The man in black made this assessment in his mind immediately after a brief exchange with Jiang Yanming.

The Four Kingdoms Alliance includes a Martial Arts Alliance, among which many come to the Divine Martial Kingdom to learn profound truths, but very few have extensive combat experience, let alone experience fighting assassins.

"After a month of sailing, I have completed the physical transformation of a high-level warrior." Jiang Yanming quickly retreated, thinking to himself, "It seems that my physique is no weaker than that of a second-stage Qi Condensation Realm warrior, and even surpasses that of most second-stage Qi Condensation Realm warriors."

Jiang Yanming retreated into the pile of goods, surrounded by crates that were leaning precariously. Fighting on these crates posed a risk of falling.

The man in black stared intently at Jiang Yanming, his eyes revealing the seriousness one would show when facing an opponent of equal strength. With a flick of his wrists, a hidden blade emerged from the sleeve of his other hand.

"die!"

With a soft shout from the man in black, he seemed to transform into a shadow and swiftly attacked Jiang Yanming.

Jiang Yanming was already on high alert, channeling his spiritual energy into the protective jade talisman in his palm. Facing the now more confident Ninggang assassin, he dared not be careless.

Because of his status as a top-tier assassin, he used to poison his weapons before assassinating his targets. Whether it was a hidden blade used for close combat or a crossbow and hidden darts used for long-range assassination, as long as it hurt the enemy even slightly, he could successfully complete the assassination.

"This assassin's aura seems to be biased towards attack and speed."

Seeing the man in black charging at him, Jiang Yanming kicked a nearby wooden crate at the assassin, but it was cleaved in two by the assassin's single-handed hidden blade. He immediately realized that his internal energy had taken effect.

Having spent over a month with many experts in the Condensation Realm, he naturally learned that Condensation Qi also has different attributes and biases, and that the Condensation Qi of top experts at the peak of the fourth realm can be vaguely seen with the naked eye.

laugh!

laugh!

The man in black cleaved open two wooden crates in succession. Seeing Jiang Yanming getting closer, his eyes revealed a hint of excitement and agitation. He immediately launched a series of attacks with his twin hidden swords.

Jiang Yanming dodged repeatedly, placing his right hand behind his back as if to evade, but as he pulled his right hand out from behind, a black sword appeared in his hand, which he quickly slashed at the head of the man in black.

The man in black reacted extremely quickly, instinctively using his two hidden blades to cross and parry, and then turning his head to retreat and avoid a vital point.

Clang!

The black sword severed the two hidden blades. Even though the man in black retreated to avoid a fatal blow, a wound still remained on his chest, running from top to bottom, and blood flowed uncontrollably.

"How could you?!"

The man in black looked surprised and suspicious. From their exchange, he was certain that Jiang Yanming had not been hiding a sword on his person. How could he suddenly pull out an extremely sharp sword?

Could it be that the enemy is hiding a sword, and the reason he returned to the hiding place is to use the sword to turn the tide of battle?

The man in black was confused, but his injuries were not enough to support him to continue fighting, so he flew backward to prepare to leave the battlefield and find someone to help him.

As for the first merit...

He's about to lose his life, why is he still thinking about getting the first merit!

call out!

Just then, a black streak of light shot out, so fast that the man in black couldn't dodge in time. His protective aura was directly shattered by the black light, which then pierced his throat.

"you……"

The man in black looked incredulous, never expecting to be killed by a martial artist who hadn't even condensed his inner energy.

thump!

The corpse fell to the ground, right under the oil lamp, the black sword embedded in its throat particularly conspicuous.

Jiang Yanming stepped forward, drew his flying sword, and held it in his hand. His figure under the oil lamp attracted the attention of everyone in the cabin.

The people who were fighting were already paying attention to Jiang Yanming's situation. When they saw that the one who had fallen to the ground and died was a man in black, Ling Heng and the other two showed surprise and joy.

The other men in black all looked surprised and suspicious. They really couldn't believe that an assassin at the second level of the Qi Condensation Realm could die at the hands of a martial artist who hadn't even reached the Qi Condensation Realm yet.

"Call for backup; we don't need the credit!"

The man in black who was fighting Ling Heng spoke up. He realized that if he wanted to take the credit again, he might die here. So he decided to give up the credit and take the second credit instead.

Upon hearing this, one of the three men in black who were surrounding Wang Chen quickly retreated, spitting out something and then blowing out a piercing screech.

Swoosh—!

The piercing cry pierced through the wooden wall and reached the ears of everyone within a radius of twenty or thirty meters, instantly causing some of the men in black to gleam with a sharp light in their eyes.

"not good!"

"This is a cry for help!"

"It's because the young leader has been discovered."

Ji Fan and other experts from the Great River Alliance on the deck were fighting against equally matched men in black when they heard the piercing cry, and their eyes revealed undisguised anxiety.

Ji Fan gathered his inner energy and struck the man in black with a powerful palm strike, intending to force him back so he could go to his rescue.

"Haha, Master Ji, your opponent is me. Don't even think about leaving." The man in black laughed loudly and continued to fight Ji Fan, giving him no chance to escape.

"Chen Yao, don't even think about leaving!"

Chen Yao, the master of the Purple Light Hall, was shrouded in faint purple aura. He withstood the attack from the man in black and tried to retreat. Just as he stepped onto the central ship, he was stopped by another man in black.

Upon seeing this, the man in black who was chasing Chen Yao immediately asked his companion, "Weren't you going to take care of the target? What are you doing here?"

"Since a mere youth who hasn't even reached the Qi Condensation stage has already been discovered, let others handle him," the man in black said calmly when questioned. "If we send Hall Master Chen to rescue him, they might actually escape."

The men in black who were chasing him remained silent upon hearing this, and continued to attack Chen Yao relentlessly.

"I hope Brother Ji can rush to save the young leader." Even though Chen Yao was known for his powerful internal energy, he could only passively defend against the combined attack of two top experts.

the other side.

Ji Fan desperately wanted to escape, and his body was filled with powerful energy as he launched a series of attacks, but he was unable to force the man in black back and was unable to leave the top of the ship's deck even half a step.

Hearing the piercing scream, the experts from the nearby Great River Alliance all wanted to rush to the cabin to provide assistance, but they were blocked by the black-clad men, who outnumbered them, and were unable to escape.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yanming, inside the cabin, saw that the man in black had sent out a distress signal, so he took out the protective jade talisman of a Nascent Soul cultivator from his storage ring, preparing to protect himself.

Right at this moment!

A light blue beam of light flew through the misty river, rapidly approaching the Great River Alliance fleet, and even a blue tail flame appeared on its tail.

"It's the absolute pinnacle!"

"How could the pinnacle appear?"

The men in black who witnessed this scene were all shocked and horrified.

How many peaks are there in the world?

One in the Snow Region, one in the Great River Region, three in the Great River Region, two in the Great Stream Region, and two in the Ocean Region. Adding the sect leader of the Thousand Machines Sect who was ranked at the top more than twenty years ago, the number of top experts in the world is no more than ten.

Currently, the most outstanding one is in seclusion year-round, and the one who appears most frequently is the Medical Sage of Hundred Flowers Valley.

Now, on this great river, they witnessed the appearance of an extraordinary being!
