The Legend Of Frozen Sovereign
Chapter 20: The assassins

Xuan Yu was now on his way back to the inn after finishing his elimination round today, there was nothing special about the many matches he had to face.

Although in fact every young cultivator faced by him was extremely strong, the means and efforts made by most young cultivators were very different from him, he said, so this made Xuan Yu always able to stand in the wind during the fight.

Also after realizing this during Zhao Yushi's fight, Xuan Yu had the belief that around eighty percent he would become a champion in a foundation-level tournament, not because he was fully confident in the strength possessed by him at the moment, but because of the methods that were often used by him in real battles.

‘I do not know how my opponents condition after competing with me.’ Xuan Yu sighed heavily at once becoming a little lost in spirit.

But on the way to the inn where he lived, the atmosphere of the road he was walking on at this time felt very quiet and dark without the slightest light of the road that illuminated, the atmosphere of the street, plus the atmosphere of the city at night makes the surrounding conditions feel strange.

“If you continue to follow me in this way, I can make sure the person who sent you guys is really cheap,” Xuan Yu said in a voice that seemed very cold.

Unfortunately those whom Xuan Yu meant did not respond at all to his remark, surely he was not stupid for not being aware of the lowly concealment ability they were using, either, plus he had once fought an Origin Beast that had the same ability remained even stronger.

“Do not want to go out? Then I will force you out!”

Aushhh!!

Xuan Yu released a large amount of Origin Qi within his body, where a gust of cold wind carrying around ice and snowflakes appeared, and dozens of small ice cones formed under his control easily.

Shuu! Shuu! Shuu!

The ice cone was immediately shot out by Xuan Yu in various directions at an incredible speed, where there was a sound of screams and panic after the ice cone that was fired hit a certain target.

Maidservant! Maidservant! Maidservant!

About three people fell in lifeless condition with ice crystallization marks on their bodies, as well as a few people who could not control their techniques that ended up being seen by Xuan Yu.

“You really want to make all this difficult, you beggar!!”

A few seconds after they were all discovered and revealed by Xuan Yu, a group of nine people sprung up in a position of being surrounded from various angles, it was obvious that they were a hit man carrying out the task.

‘Their number is quite a lot, but their cultivation level is only at level seven to eight Body Training, and the most powerful there is only one with the same cultivation level as me, like the person who hired them is a rich man.’

From one of the books he had read, Bing Xuelian explained that he might experience a situation where he would be dealing with rich people or those with strong backgrounds, where if he managed to defeat the person then the third party of the defeated person would send out a certain group of assassins, and this was due to their fallen self-esteem.

As Liu Suifeng was warning him he had long since realized that the people from the special spectator bench were looking at him hatefully, and that it came from the people of the Cao Family.

Xuan Yu sighed as he created two ice sword blades in both hands, since his opponent had already confirmed his intention to kill him, then he would not hesitate in taking action.

He stepped forward to attack first which greatly shocked the group of assassins, without saying more or asking why they were sent, there was only an extremely cold killing intent in return.

“Strike him! there is no point in making a sneak attack!!” the assassin who was at the ninth level of Body Training gave directions.

It hindered the movements of the assassins who could not balance their movements, so it gave a gap to Xuan Yu who was holding the two ice swords formed by him, and slashed down without the slightest hesitation.

“Agrhhh!!”

One person was killed instantly after receiving two powerful slashes of Xuan Yu with blood that came out and froze from being hit by his ice power. But he did not stop there, using the instincts he had honed well during his time in the wilderness, he continued to attack anyone nearby who was affected by the slippery road.

In an instant the situation turned upside down with the superiority created by Xuan Yu, through a cold gaze he did not hesitate in the least to shake off the two ice swords formed by him, either, even when a few drops of blood hit his clothes and face.

“You are really brash!!” the leader of the assassins was irritated by the ineptness beneath him and came attacking.

Unlike the other assassins, their leader was much more deft with the minimum effort possible to not touch the road covered by slippery ice, and grabbed the two large daggers that were enveloped by the deep red Origin Qi.

TRING!!

Xuan Yu responded quickly by restraining him, but he felt that his ice sword was not as strong as the original tool as it appeared numerous cracks. Then he immediately created an ice wall that instantly separated him from the murderous leader.

Shu! Shu! Shu!

Dozens of ice cones immediately formed and were shot by Xuan Yu who felt that close combat was extremely dangerous, plus he had to split his concentration to face the rest of the assassins and their leaders.

“Khkk!! Really troublesome!” the murderous leader felt a great deal of pain when he was hit by Xuan Yu's small ice cone.

When he lifted his head a blue spear made of ice floated towards his head, but he quickly crushed the spear with his large dagger.

‘Damn it! how could a child who was only fourteen years old have a way of fighting like this?!’

But as his mind was distracted by Xuan Yu's terrifying fighting skills, the young man suddenly came before his eyes at an unfathomable speed, he tried to dodge and keep a safe distance from him.

But Xuan Yu directly stabbed his heart with an ice sword in his hand, then pulled it back and decapitated the leader of the assassins without the slightest hesitation.

“It's done here..”

Not only did he kill the assassin leader, Xuan Yu had also finished off the rest of the assassins without leaving any of them behind, and felt extremely exhausted from using much Origin Qi in his body.

At least this time he did not spend the entire Origin Qi in his body, plus this became a good experience because this was the first time he faced an assassin.

But unfortunately he did not know who sent this killer, after all people like them would not be able to compromise because of their work, if they did not have a special method of extracting information, better to just finish them off.

‘This is the recommended method from one of the books, also because I have a fairly strong ice power, then I can eliminate the traces of this fight.’
