บท 21: Assassin?
"Brother Guang, tell someone to check beneath the carriage, likely for any strange or queer-looking object." Fu Guang nodded his head and instructed one of the guards to check the carriage.
Fu Guang revealed an understanding look and mentioned: "Big Brother Xian, we have already thoroughly checked every place. At first, we also had the same doubt, like it was someone's underhanded work but we didn't find anything inconspicuous."
Even the guard, who gone to check underneath the carriage came up with empty hands as they didn't find anything. Ye Xian shook his head, walked towards the carriage and found a small wooden box utilizing his spirit energy.
The wooden box is the size of a palm, it's also designed and colored in the same way as that of the carriage and it fitted perfectly with the carriage-looking nothing unusual.
Even if others checked they won't find anything peculiar; Now he understood, why the guards couldn't find anything. It was meticulously and carefully prepared so that other's won't find the wooden box in any way.
Ye Xian removed the wooden box and saw a small gap, enough to perfectly fit a wooden box. He was only able to find it because of his spirit energy, otherwise, even he won't be able to find it.
Ye Xian tossed the wooden box to Fu Guang, the latter grabbed it. After checking it, he couldn't find anything suspicious but he saw Ye Xian removing the box from his carriage so without a doubt, it's the reason for the magical beasts wild behavior.
"I think, this box contains something which lures the magical beast towards us and affect its consciousness. Moreover, it colorless, odorless and not visible to naked eye." Ye Xian explained to Fu Guang.
"I Know it! It's those bastards, what a cunning and evil plan, to deal with the young master. Thankfully, we found it sooner, otherwise, we would have died without knowing how." The guard captain fumed when he heard Ye Xian's words and once again thanked by bowing his head respectfully.
Fu Guang crushed the wooden box with his hand and turned it into a power. As soon as the wooden box is destroyed, the silver stripped wolf who was in the barbaric state turned into a normal beast and hurriedly ran away.
"Thank you, Big Brother Xian. If you haven't found the problem, we..." Before he could finish his words, Ye Xian interrupted him saying,
"Brother Guang, the problem hasn't finished yet. If there is a plan, there will always be plan B."
"How long are you going to hide? Come out!" Ye Xian shouted as his lips curved into that of a fine smile.
When Fu Guang, Guard captain, and the surrounding soldiers heard this, their face slowly changed and wary expression appeared on their face.
All the Guards quickly encircled Fu Guang and displayed an alert expression towards their surroundings.
"Well, Well, Well, Looks like I encountered a tough one. I believe you are a Numinous master because only someone with spirit energy can detect the Tempting berserk powder." A middle-aged man came out from the shadow of tree's, he was wearing a purple robe while his face is covered by a white mask. The only notable feature is, there are some white hairs in his head.
Ye Xian simply smiled. When he removed the Wooden box from the carriage, spirit energy probed him from a distance. So, he already figured out, there's someone in the shadow.
He also discovered the spirit energy of the other party is only as that of 20-meters, a Peak White ranked Numinous.
When Fu Guang and others observed the masked man, they were stunned because they couldn't detect him all even at a close distance like he was masked by a veil.
"Did someone from the Onyx city recruited you to kill me? " Fu Guang asked, his voice is little gloomy but not panicky. He knows even though his father has many enemies, they are not capable of recruiting a Spirit master as an assassin.
"Young man, do you want to involve yourself in this mess. why don't you go your way? And I will do my job. Even though you are Numinous master, you won't be able to defeat me." The Masked man ignored Fu Guang and asked Ye Xian.
What the masked said is correct; When Ye Xian probed him using his spirit energy, he ascertained the masked man is in level 3 of the soul realm.
When Ye Xian broke through to level nine of the Mortal realm, his strength increased to 900Kg and with all of his skills in 'Skill Control stage', he can confidently face anyone under the Level 2 of the soul realm.
Even though the Masked man is in level three of the soul realm, Ye Xian is not least bit terrified; But he's little excited when he thought of facing the powerful opponent.
For the past month, he battled against many soul realm magical beasts but he can only estimate his true strength when facing the human realm practitioners.
Moreover, he was sure the masked man specializes in spirit energy than Divine way, so he was sure it won't be a problem for him.
Currently, Ye Xian is in 'White Ranked Grandmaster Numinous' stage with spirit energy of 35 meters, so against someone with measly spirit energy of 20 meters, he is not afraid.
Moreover, he has his spirit skills, Spirit Arrow, Mental Suppression and Soul concealing techniques. Even though Mental suppression and soul concealing is not useful, the later was able to perfectly mask his cultivation from normal practitioners.
Precisely, the reason why the masked man hasn't attacked Ye Xian till now is for that reason. Usually, when he probes other practitioners using his spirit energy, he will be able to discern the other people's cultivation.
But this youth before him alarmed him a little, as he wasn't able to see through the youth.
"Sigh, what can I do? The person you wanted to kill, has called me a big brother so I can't let someone kill my brother, right?" Ye Xian said, smilingly.
When the Guard captain heard Ye Xian words, he let out a sigh of relief. If Ye Xian decided to not help, everyone here would have died by the masked man's hands. Although he knows the youngster was not an ordinary person, he had never thought that he would be so 'extraordinary' and daring enough to face the Assassin.
"So you are going to interfere with my task" The Masked man's eyes narrowed and emitted a fierce killing intent. Ye Xian just shrugged in reply.
"Big brother Xian, you don't have to do that. I..." Fu Guang was very touched by the fact Ye Xian decided to help, but he didn't want to him to risk his life for him.
"Don't worry, Brother Guang. I will take care of it, it's not a big problem."
As soon as he got Ye Xian's reply, invincible energy appeared around the masked man, it was as if the air around the 20-meter radius has been affected. Then Ye Xian heard a masked man's loud shout,
'Hell Knife!'
As if hearing the command, the spirit energy surrounding him began to condense and morphed into something, a speed that was visible to the naked eye. Ye Xian couldn't discern it's shaping because the spirit energy formed a weird looking needle or possibly a toothpick.
"Brother Assassin, is that a toothpick?" Ye Xian asked the masked man in a straight forward manner with a playful look, pointing his hand towards the needle-like thing.
Clearly, the needle-like thing is the spirit kill of the masked man. When the masked man heard the words, he was blanked, he didn't know how to answer.
'Did he just call my spirit Skill 'Hell Knife' a toothpick?'
'This is the spirit skill I obtained after completing a various task and accumulating numerous assassination points, but someone called my spirit skill a toothpick. Is my spirit skill look like a fuc*ing toothpick to him?.'
'Die'
The Masked man chooses to reply, not by words, but by his spirit technique. Ye Xian shook his head, he thought the masked man is some kind of famous assassin but from his action, he figured, he is a complete rookie.
'Spirit Wall!'
With just a thought, Ye Xian's spirit energy quickly formed a wall before him and easily defended the toothpick...Sorry, 'Hell knife' skill.
Spirit wall is not a skill, but a way of controlling spirit energy around to form a wall. It's similar to that of essence energy control when one wants to attack or defend, they will cover their fist or leg using the essence energy, it's the same concept.
It's just one need to have perfect control of their spirit energy, to perform what Ye Xian did.
The masked man was baffled when he saw his spirit attack was effortlessly defended by the young man, as that of a firefly. He became hesitant, whether he should continue his attack or retreat.
