Proving Immortality Starting with Hextech Runes

Chapter 146 Assassination of Zhao Wujiu

Although controlling too many clones at the same time is quite mentally taxing.

However, Chen Xu had previously used the Masterpiece Upgrader on the Pay-to-Win Training Dummy as well.

After the upgrade, it now only requires an extra thousand low-grade spirit stones per month.

You can set specific behavior patterns for your pay-to-win clones to run in the background, saving you time and effort.

"Opening a branch was just a side effect," Chen Xu replied telepathically.

"Our real objective for this trip is to complete our mission and kill Zhao Wujiu, the young master of the Zhao family."

"Understood." Qingling also suppressed her smile.

"My senior's plan is... to kill him on stage?"

"Not bad." Chen Xu's gaze fell on Zhao Wujiu, who looked smug, in the direction of the Zhao family.

"His next opponent is Yu Xuanfeng from the Yu family, who is famous for his Shattering Jade Finger."

This man was fierce and had a long-standing grudge against Zhao Wujiu.

All it takes is to cause a slight delay in Zhao Wujiu's spiritual energy flow at the crucial moment, allowing Yu Xuanfeng to deliver a fatal blow.

Everything will then seem perfectly reasonable, and no one will be able to trace it back to us.

However... how you and Xiaoyun handle things later is up to you.

Upon hearing this, Qingling's eyes lit up, and she excitedly replied telepathically, "Senior Brother is so clever! Leave it to me and Xiaoyun, Senior Brother can rest assured!"

She secretly made a gesture with her fingers hidden in her sleeve, and a fox phantom, invisible to ordinary people, lazily flicked its tail on her shoulder and jumped onto the arena.

At this moment, the referee's deep voice on the stage drowned out the noise in the arena:

"Next match: Zhao Wujiu of the Zhao family versus Yu Xuanfeng of the Yu family!"

No sooner had the words been spoken than a rather flamboyant figure landed in the center of the arena; it was none other than Zhao Wujiu, the young master of the Zhao family.

He was dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, with a somewhat arrogant smile on his face.

Yu Xuanfeng followed closely behind and stepped onto the other end of the arena.

He was tall and muscular, wearing only a simple leather jacket, his eyes fixed on Zhao Wujiu.

"Brother Yu, I've heard your Jade Shattering Finger technique has improved recently. Please go easy on me today..."

Zhao Wujiu shook his head, his playful words eliciting laughter from some members of the Zhao family below the stage.

Yu Xuanfeng snorted coldly, his voice deep and resonant: "Enough with the nonsense, let's settle this with our skills!"

Before he finished speaking, he shot out like an arrow, his violent blood energy surging and creating a gust of wind that rushed straight at Zhao Wujiu.

"Ha...brute." Zhao Wujiu sneered, his figure gracefully retreating, unhurried.

He raised his hand and unleashed thirty fire arrow talismans, which, trailing scorching flames, pierced straight at Yu Xuanfeng's vital points at a tricky angle.

"Young Master Zhao's skill in controlling talismans is truly exquisite!"

"To be able to control so many talismans..." A cheer erupted from the audience.

On the Zhao family's viewing platform, the patriarch, who was in the early stage of Core Formation, stroked his beard, his eyes full of approval and pride.

Chen Xu, sitting in the corner, felt a sense of absurdity.

Even those in the late Foundation Establishment stage, who can simultaneously control more than thirty talismans, are already astonishing.

Are there no skilled talisman masters in Yunzhou?

At this moment, on the arena, Yu Xuanfeng faced thirty fire arrows without dodging or avoiding them.

He let out a low growl, and the muscles in his arms bulged instantly, covered with a layer of yellowish-brown light.

The fire arrows struck Yu Xuanfeng's arm and abdomen, exploding into bursts of fire and smoke.

However, when the smoke and dust cleared, Yu Xuanfeng's protective aura fluctuated violently, and his skin turned slightly red.

Its movements did not stop at all, and it charged forward rapidly despite the impact of the explosion.

"Hiss... It can actually withstand thirty fire arrow talismans. The body-refining technique of the Yu family is indeed powerful."

The audience gasped in amazement.

Zhao Wujiu's expression changed slightly, clearly not expecting the other party to be so fierce.

He waved his hand again, activating five Golden Armor Talismans in succession.

Five illusory golden armor shields surrounded him, layer upon layer, protecting him completely.

At the same time, he pulled out ten Wind-Splitting Talismans and grinned maliciously, "Let's see how long you can hold out!"

Yu Xuanfeng's anger intensified; he knew that the other party intended to use talismans to wear him down.

He took a deep breath, and the blood and qi in his body circulated wildly like boiling magma, converging in the two fingers of his right hand.

"Die!" Yu Xuanfeng roared, his figure accelerating again, turning into a blur.

The two fingers, now crimson, easily pierced through five layers of golden armor and stabbed straight into Zhao Wujiu's chest.

It was his signature move, the Shattering Jade Finger.

However, although Yu Xuanfeng was fast, in Zhao Wujiu's eyes, his trajectory was still somewhat slow.

A mocking smile appeared on Zhao Wujiu's face: "A mere trick! Yu Xuanfeng, you think you can hurt me with this little skill?"

His spiritual energy was already prepared, ready to activate a second-grade superior Xuan Turtle protective talisman at any time.

With just a thought, this talisman, powerful enough to withstand a blow from a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, can be activated instantly, forming an indestructible defense.

He was already imagining the scene of Yu Xuanfeng's finger bones shattering and his face filled with astonishment.

However, just as the thought arose in his mind, and the spiritual power was about to be injected into the talisman to activate it, he was in danger.

A chilling aura invaded his meridians without warning.

This chill erupted directly from the depths of his body, freezing the flow of spiritual energy.

Zhao Wujiu felt a sudden blockage in his dantian, and the spiritual power he used to activate the talisman seemed to vanish into thin air.

"How is this possible...?" Zhao Wujiu's smugness instantly turned into horror and disbelief.

At the same time, Yu Xuanfeng, who was using the Shattered Jade Finger technique with all his might, suddenly felt an invisible force surging into his body.

This caused the speed and power of his Jade Shattering Finger strike to surge dramatically.

"Pfft!"

A sound like flesh and bone being pierced rang out.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Zhao Wujiu looked down in disbelief at the fist-sized hole in his chest.

Fragments of the heart and fresh blood were gushing out of the hole...

"Uh... Hehe..." The life force in Zhao Wujiu's eyes faded rapidly.

His body swayed, his face filled with resentment and confusion, before he crashed backward.

The cheers for Zhao Wujiu that were just a second ago came to an abrupt halt.

"No blame!!!"

On the Zhao family's viewing platform, Zhao Kun, the family head who had been stroking his beard and smiling, suddenly stood up, his eyes bloodshot.

His terrifying spiritual pressure, typical of someone in the early stages of Core Formation, erupted without any restraint.

"Yu Xuanfeng! Prepare to die!!"

Zhao Kun roared like thunder, his figure transforming into a blur, a crimson palm print aimed straight at Yu Xuanfeng's head.

"Insolence!" Just as the crimson palm print was about to touch Yu Xuanfeng's face, an old, cold shout rang out.

A huge stone tablet suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Kun.

Its crimson palm print slammed hard onto the stone tablet, unleashing a deafening roar.

The stone tablet trembled violently, steadily blocking the fatal blow.

A middle-aged cultivator dressed in a simple brown Taoist robe slowly solidified and stood in front of Yu Xuanfeng.

He was Yu Kaishan, the head of the Yu family.

He looked directly at the enraged Zhao Kun, his voice deep and resolute:

"Patriarch Zhao, in a martial arts arena, swords and spears have no eyes; one must bear the consequences of their own actions!"

"This has been an unwritten rule among the various clans of Yunzhou for many years. As the head of your family, how can you disregard your status and lay a hand on a junior?!"
