The Last Descendant of the Holy Sword Family

The Assassins

As soon as Zen opens his barrier Zen can look back at the sunlight after a long time. Not only was Zen able to see a wounded woman surrounded by several people dressed in black with her face covered.

"What are you guys doing?"

They were all surprised to see Zen, they did not think that the large stone they saw was actually an illusion.

"Please help me."

Wounded, the woman walked towards Zen.

"What happened to you?"

Zen asked the woman.

"They're trying to kill me."

"So yeah, in other words they're assassins huh."

"Yes, therefore please help me "

Zen then looked at the assassins.

"What are we gonna do now?" Said one of the assassins.

"It's not clear that we have to complete this mission." Answer the other assassin.

"That man is in the realm of life and death, do you think we can defeat him."

Some of the assassins became doubtful, most of them were in Soul forging and some were in Soul enhancement realms.

Although they were many, the distance between them and Zen was very far.

"Who cares about it, we are honorable assassins. We always complete the missions we receive, he's just alone and we have a lot."

One of the assassins headed towards Zen quickly, the man unleashed a great killing intent. With his dagger he attacked Zen, Zen then took out the divine sword he had obtained from Ling Hao.

With that sword Zen resisted the assassin's attack and Zen instantly killed him.

"That's a high-level sword."

Just like the rest of the underworld, in this world the holy sword is of the highest level. The assassins did not know that the Zen sword was of the divine level so they considered it to be of a high level.

"It's impossible for us to defeat him."

Life and death realms with high-level swords in their hands, they had absolutely no chance of defeating Zen.

"The mission failed we have to leave now."

"You're right we should go as soon as possible."

The assassins quickly left the zen and the woman.

"Ah, they ran away. What kind of assassin is afraid of death."

Like martial artists risking their lives to ascend to the upper world, assassins usually risk their lives to complete their missions. Very far away to be able to see an assassin who was afraid of death.

"Please kill them all."

She begged Zen with tears.

"No, no, isn't that impossible."

If they all gathered in one place Zen could kill them all, but now the assassins are running on different routes. It will be quite difficult for Zen to catch up to all of them.

"Although so, please."

The woman continued to cry while pleading with Zen, Zen did not like to see the expression released by the woman and she immediately did what she wanted.

"I can't kill them all, but at least I can kill some of them."

"Although this is only an epic-level weapon but it should have been enough."

Zen then raised the arrow and created the arrow with magic. Although in this world there is no mana but Zen's Tanallis still stores a large amount of mana, so making arrows with magic is not something that is difficult for Zen.

"Ulgoa."

Zen released the arrow, and the arrow was instantly split into 5 pieces. Each section leads to an assassin like a control rocket. And in a short time to 5 pieces of arrows that have killed 5 assassins.

"It seems like this is enough, after all the others have run quite far. It would be very troublesome to chase after them."

Zen then held back his arrow, and returned to where the woman was. But when Zen returned the woman had fainted.

"It looks like I should be in this cave for a few more days."

Zen couldn't let the woman die just like that, and he immediately took the woman into the cave.

"The wounds are severe enough, no matter how I heal the wounds."

Zen was a little confused by this situation, he could have healed the woman's wound with his magic or with the potion in his storage room. Yet this was a world of spiritual energy, Zen felt no good if he did just that.

"Ah, if I don't mistakenly remember Ling Hao saying that he gave me some pills."

Zen then examined some of the pills he had obtained from Ling Hao, all of the pills Ling Hao had given him were high-level pills that would be nowhere to be found in this underworld. After a while Zen finally found a pill that could heal wounds.

Zen then inserted the pill into the woman's mouth, in contrast to the pill potion did not immediately show its effect.

"I'd better re-absorb the power that's in that shard."

Zen felt that she would not wake up anytime soon, and decided to meditate again for a while.

2 Days had passed, and the woman finally opened her eyes.

"You're finally awake too."

"How long have I fainted?"

"About 2 days."

"That's why, thank you for healing my wounds."

The wound on the woman's body is very severe, normally it takes up to a year for the wound to heal completely. But thanks to the pills Zen used, the woman's wounds were able to heal in just a few days.

"I don't need your word, I want you to pay."

"Now that I have nothing, I don't know what to give you."

"I don't need your money either, I just want you to give me some information, and I want you to show me the nearest town."

Zen was still unable to break through to the God realm, although he did not wish to do so yet when he needed a pill to increase his cultivation.

Of all the pills Ling Hao gave, Zen was unable to find the pills he needed. And even though he had the ingredients to make his pills yet he did not have the furnace to make them.

So now he had to go to a town to buy a furnace.

"I could've done it, but are you sure that's all you need?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

"Alright, then now I'll drive you to a town."

The two of them stood up and walked towards the exit of the cave.

"Ah, if remembered again I don't know your name. I am Ye Xue Yun, can you tell me your name?"

"Zen Cavalier is my name."
