All of us are one

Chapter 106 Assassin Attack

That night

Jiang Yanming was using his internal energy to temper his body when he suddenly discovered that the internal energy, which was originally only able to float on the surface of his body, could actually leave his body by a finger's width.

"It's not just the internal energy; the dark energy I can sense is also becoming more active." He pondered to himself, "This must be why the suppression is getting weaker as we move further away from the Divine Martial Kingdom."

"The spiritual energy is only slightly affected..." Jiang Yanming couldn't help but guess, "Is this because the cultivation system is highly adaptable?"

He wasn't sure about this, after all, he was just a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, at the very bottom of the cultivation world, and knew very little.

"Currently, the dark energy within the body is not repelling the protective energy."

After Jiang Yanming noticed that the dark energy was becoming more active, he tried to mobilize the dormant dark energy in his body, but it did not cause a stress reaction in his internal energy. "Since there is no rejection, is it possible for the two to merge, so that I can use the dark energy in the universe to quickly strengthen my internal energy?"

Although he thought this way, he did not put it into action, simply because the outcome of the fusion was unknown. If the two peaceful energies were to have an accident during the fusion, he would be the one to suffer.

"If the opportunity arises, I might give it a try in the future."

Jiang Yanming suppressed his adventurous thoughts and prepared to use opposing Qi Condensation Warriors as test subjects in the future, even if he failed.

Of course, with his current mastery of dark energy, he is not yet capable of injecting dark energy into other people's bodies, which requires a high degree of control over dark energy.

"Ah Ming, open the door."

Suddenly, Uncle Zhou's voice came from outside the door.

Jiang Yanming got up and opened the door. He saw Uncle Zhou holding a sheathed sword in his left hand, looking like he was about to fight. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Uncle Zhou, what's this?"

"Your Uncle Li just sent word that a ship is approaching," Uncle Zhou said softly.

"If I remember correctly, before we left Twin Islands, our ship was the only one returning to the Four Nations Alliance." Jiang Yanming frowned slightly. "Could the newcomers be from Blood Rain?"

"It's possible. I'll be responsible for protecting you, while Brother Li, Brother Chen, and Brother Deng will be responsible for protecting the ship and eliminating any potential enemies," Uncle Zhou said calmly.

"Thank you for your trouble, Uncle Zhou," Jiang Yanming said.

"It's nothing, you can continue to rest." Uncle Zhou walked into the room, sat on the only chair in the room, placed the sheathed sword flat on his knees, and rested his right hand on the hilt.

Jiang Yanming wasn't sleepy at all, so he simply closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and began to cultivate, using his internal energy to temper his body.

……

the other side.

On the dark sea, a wooden sailboat with its sails not raised was propelled forward by the rapidly moving oars on both sides, making it quickly approach the sailing ship.

On the top of the sailboat's deck, seven men dressed in black stood watching the approaching light.

"According to intelligence from the Twin Islands base, only one ship returned to the Four Nations Alliance today, so the target must be on that ship."

Among the seven, a refined-looking middle-aged man in black spoke softly, "Furthermore, according to the information we've gathered, there is only one protector from the Great River Alliance on board, escorting the target back to the Four Kingdoms Alliance with five others."

"We received information that the target is accompanied by two leaders of the Xuan Shui Hall of the Great River Alliance. Even if the remaining four are all protectors of the Great River Alliance, they are still just four first-rate experts."

A masked man in black casually remarked, "Without the protection of top experts from the three major families, four first-rate experts alone are not enough to stop us."

"We must not be careless!" the leader of the men in black said. "After all, the target is the son of the Broken Water Sword. The Broken Water Sword might come in person."

"If I could die at the hands of the Broken Water Sword, it wouldn't be a shame," one person replied calmly.

"Don't say such unlucky things," someone said indignantly. "If you want to die, then die. Don't drag me into it. I haven't lived enough yet."

"If the Broken Water Sword truly exists, none of us can escape death," the refined middle-aged man in black laughed. "The situation on that ship has been thoroughly investigated, and no trace of the Broken Water Sword has been found. Such a being would not bother to hide its tracks."

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this; they dared not respond.

The supreme beings of the Divine Martial Kingdom disdain concealing their tracks, that was before the Thousand Machines Sect Master appeared!

As the Thousand Machines Sect Master revealed his unparalleled strength, the Divine Martial Kingdom realized that not all the world's top experts openly displayed themselves; some were hiding in the shadows, stirring up conflict across the land.

Their Blood Rain leader did not admit to being the best, but most of the Blood Rain's higher-ups believed that the leader must be a top expert!

The refined-looking middle-aged man in black might have been subtly mocking the leader, which is why they dared not respond.

"The target ship is getting closer; prepare to engage," the leader of the men in black said. "Proceed according to plan and clean up the entire ship."

"Understood," five people responded simultaneously.

The interception plan was simple: clean up everyone on the target ship, then sink the ship to destroy the evidence.

This sea area is still somewhat affected by the Divine Martial Kingdom, and the satellite positioning of the Four-Nation Alliance is interfered with. It will take a lot of effort to locate the sunken ship in a short period of time.

After a while, the leader of the men in black, seeing that he was less than a mile from the ship, jumped into the sea. His voice reached the ears of the six men.

"Set off!"

shhhhhh...

Five men in black leaped from the ship's deck into the sea, and together with their leader who had gone ahead, they raced across the water towards the oncoming ship.

Clearly, these six individuals were all top-tier experts at the fourth level of the Qi Condensation Realm. The leader, in particular, had faint Qi swirling around him, indicating that he was a top-tier expert whose Qi condensation had reached its extreme.

On the deck of a sailing ship.

Three figures stood side by side, all looking at the dark sea; they were Li Kun and his two companions.

"Judging from the timing, if Blood Rain wants to intercept us in this sea area, the only way is to draw manpower from the west of the major river basin," Uncle Chen said calmly.

"One top-tier expert and six first-rate experts—Blood Rain has managed to gather so many masters from the Great River Basin in such a short time. That's quite remarkable," Deng Huizong said softly.

"You can have the top one, I'll take care of the rest." Li Kun's eyes flashed with murderous intent, finally able to vent his anger over his son's crippling.

"Brother Li is being a bit too presumptuous to face five top-tier fighters alone," Deng Huizong sighed. "I'll lend you a hand, and Brother Chen can take care of the top fighter."

"Whatever you say!" Li Kun did not object.

While he possesses top-tier strength, he is not capable of single-handedly killing five top-notch fighters; he also needs assistance.

"Okay." Uncle Chen also did not object.

As one of the leaders of the Killing Pavilion, he has not been active in the Divine Martial Kingdom for a long time. I wonder if the people of Blood Rain today will recognize him.

"Keep them outside the ship to prevent damage," Deng Huizong said, then leaped into the sea to meet the six men in black who were attacking.

"Kill!" Li Kun uttered the word "kill" before falling into the sea.

call out!

Uncle Chen remained silent, then shot out like an arrow, his faintly visible blood-red aura standing out prominently in the darkness.
