DRAGON EMPEROR

CHAPTER 25 Assassination, Shadow Dragon Pavilion

Shhh...

The entire place started to ring with a deep breath.

Everyone on the third floor looked at Lu Ming with shocked expressions. They guessed that Lu Ming dared to send the skinny young man flying because he did not know who Wei Ziming was. If he knew Wei Ziming's identity, Lu Ming would never dare to take action.

However, they never expected Lu Ming to take any more action after finding out who Wei Ziming was. He just dominates!

"Bad boy! You have guts! Tell me your name!" Wei Ziming rose up trembling. He held back his anger as he looked at Lu Ming in annoyance.

“I Lu Ming.” Lu Ming smiled weakly as he calmly announced his name. He wasn't even afraid of the Duanmu Family, so why should he be afraid of the Wei Family?

“Alright, we'll see!” Wei Ziming hissed with gritted teeth. He then limped down the stairs with the skinny young man.

“In my opinion, Wei Ziming will definitely never let it go. He will take revenge!”

“That's for sure! The City of Fire Guard had always been run under tyranny. Considering Wei Ziming was humiliated to such an extent, there was no way they would just let it go!”

“Wei Ziyou, Wei Ziming's younger brother, is a rare prodigy in the Wei Family. He had come to join in the recruitment efforts of the Mystical Sword Sect and was considered to be one of the hundred strongest people in this novice group. He would probably check it out now that his older brother had received such an embarrassing blow!”

The restaurant became a heated discussion after Wei Ziming left. Meanwhile, Lu Ming only smiled and continued to enjoy his meal with Qiu Yue.

Outside the restaurant, a dark and hateful expression was seen on Wei Ziming's face.

“Young Master, should we look for Second Young Master and let him handle that?” the skinny young man asked.

“Of course, we have to tell my sister, but there is no need to take action now. The recruitment effort of the Mystical Sword Sect will begin in two more days. After the recruitment, the new students from the four school halls would undergo trials, except for the Qilin Hall. The younger brother will kill Lu Ming then. I want him to experience the despair of death after joining the Mystical Sword Sect!” Wei Ziming said cruelly.

...

After Lu Ming and Qiu Yue finished eating, they spent a few more moments walking around in Mystical Sword City. They found an inn and booked two rooms.

Lu Ming sat down crouching after entering his room. He let out a joyous expression as he felt a hint of itching emanating from his spine. After nearly four months, he could finally feel his blood meridians would grow perfectly.

Just one more step. Lu Ming was able to sense that it would take around three days to half a month before the blood meridians completed their growth.

His blood meridians had shown miraculous effects even before his growth was complete. Lu Ming was very excited to see what abilities he would have after completing his growth and would reach what level.

After feeling it for a while, Lu Ming began cultivating by reciting the True War Dragon Technique. Spiritual energy from all directions began to gather towards him.

Soon, night is coming. The inn was shrouded in a veil of silence.

Shifted... Shifted...

Lu Ming suddenly opened his eyes wide when he heard something breaking the silence outside his room.

Although it was just a little rustling, it did not escape Lu Ming's ears.

There were five figures outside his room. Two of them were outside the door while the other three were beside the window.

Suddenly the doors and windows opened at the same time. The five figures darted in like flashes of lightning as a flash of five sharp black blades flickered towards Lu Ming with the intent to kill.

Their movements were quick, concise, and ruthless. It was clearly the actions of trained assassins.

The clink!

Lu Ming took action as the five figures darted into the room. His figure shone as the Onyx Sword Sect turned into a trail of light and split the flesh in one go.

Holy hooch!

Blood splattered everywhere as Lu Ming immediately sliced the neck of one of the assassins.

The clink! The clink!

The three assassins fell not because they were weak. In fact, they are far from weak. The trio that Lu Ming had killed had reached the Sixth Grade Warrior Realm while the remaining two had been cultivating up to the Seven Grade Warrior Realm.

With an ambush by such a line, even an ace in the Eighth Grade Warrior Realm would be killed. Lu Ming was still alive just because he was stronger and had realized it.

“Sial! Information about the target strength is inaccurate. Back off!" One of the assassins shouted in shock and retreated in panic.

“Because you've come, you better stay here!”

As Lu Ming finished his sentence in a cold tone, he used the Dragon Snake Step. After he appeared behind the assassin in one step, he attacked with his sword and his dismembered head landed on the floor.

He then took a few more steps and caught up with the next person.

After he realized that he was unable to escape, the remaining assassins shouted as they dove towards Lu Ming without caring for his own life, “Mati!”

It's thundering!

Fire Dragon Fists erupted and two consecutive strikes landed on the body of the assassin.

Hit back by the punch, the killer hit the wall and spurted a mouthful of blood.

"Speaking. Whoareyou? Who sent you here?” Lu Ming demanded in a cold tone.

“Hehe, so how about I tell you? We are from Shadow Wolf Pavilion. Someone is paying to end your life, but who it is, you will never know. Get ready for the relentless hunting of the Shadow Wolf Pavilion, Lu Ming!”

After the killer said that, black blood came out of his mouth. He actually committed suicide by poison.

“Pavilions of Shadow Wolves?” Lu Ming furrowed his brows.

He had heard of the Shadow Wolf Pavilion before. It was one of the four largest killing groups in the Blazing Sun Empire. They have extensive influence and specifically deal with paid homicides. However, they were extremely secretive as no one knew where the headquarters of the Shadow Wolf Pavilion was located.

Therefore, the four groups of assassins were hated by many, but there was no way to eliminate them all the way to their roots.

Some even say that these four groups of assassins were supported and developed by the five major sects as a tool to deal with the rising magic.

Still, it was just a rumor because no one knew the truth.

'Who will hire assassins from the Shadow Wolf Pavilion to take me down?' Lu Ming furrowed his brows.

The first thing that came to his mind was Lu Yao, Lu Yunxiong, and the Duanmu Family. These people were the most vulnerable group, as was Wei Ziming.

However, the possibility of becoming Wei Ziming was not great since he already knew how powerful Lu Ming was. The assassin exclaimed that Lu Ming's strength was incompatible with the information they received.

If that was the case, it would most likely be Lu Yao, Lu Yunxiong, and the Duanmu Family.

'It seems like there is a shadow that is looking for prey in the Mystical Sword Sect!' Lu Ming sneered as his eyes emitted killing intent.

“Young Master, are you okay?” Qiu Yue walked out of his room and was shocked when he saw a corpse lying on the ground.

The commotion had surprised other guests who stayed at the inn.

“Qiu Yue, let's go. We will change lodging!”

Lu Ming grabbed Qiu Yue as he leaped out the window and dashed forward. The duo traversed in the darkness and stopped at a different inn after half an hour.

In the next two days, none of them came out of their rooms. Except for food, they spend their time growing crops in a closed manner.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The annual recruitment effort of the Mystic Sword Sect officially began.
