Chapter 1079 Dealing with the Silent Rippers(3)

After trying for many minutes and failing to break through Yuanʼs invisible armor, the Silent Rippers stopped their attacks momentarily.

”Fucking hell, what kind of trick are you using?!”

”Stop standing there and fight us like a real cultivator!”

The assassins tried to get him to remove his invisible armor.

Yuan merely laughed at them, ”Iʼm not using any tricks. Youʼre all just too weak to damage my Perfect Physique.”

”What? Perfect Physique? Thatʼs just a legend! Thereʼs no way you actually have the Perfect Physique!” Assassin Kong exclaimed.

”I donʼt care if you believe me or not.” Yuan shrugged.

”Anyways, tell me, what is your mission? Is it just to assassinate me, or are you going to harm the Tian Family as well? If you tell me, I will remove my armor.”

”So you are wearing a spiritual treasure!”

Yuan raised an eyebrow, ”I never said that I didnʼt. I merely said that I wasnʼt using any tricks. Can wearing armor be considered a trick? I donʼt think so.”

After a moment of silence, Assassin Kong spoke, ”Our mission is only to kill you, Xiao Yang. We were instructed to not touch the Tian Family. Are you happy now?”

”Yes, I am quite happy. Here, I will keep my words and take my armor off for you.” Yuan proceeded to take off his Invisible Dragon Cloak.

”NOW!” Assassin Kong suddenly roared.

All sixteen assassins sprung into action instantly, attacking Yuan with everything they got.

A slight grin appeared on Yuanʼs face right before an immense pressure suddenly covered the entire courtyard.

This pressure forced all of the assassins to their knees with the peak Spirit Kings barely resisting it.

”W-What is this?!” The assassins began panicking.

”Heavenly Domain.” Yuan calmly responded.

”Are you guys really the most notorious assassins in the Third Heaven? Youʼre not much better than the Stone Bandits.” He proceeded to mock them.

”Screw… You!” Assassin Kong and the other peak Spirit Kings managed to stand up despite the Heavenly Domain pressuring them.

However, their movements were still severely restricted.

It was at this moment that Yuan retrieved the Empyrean Overlord, and he proceeded to kill the assassins one by one, starting from those that couldnʼt resist the Heavenly Domain.

”STOP!”

”AAAAAAH!”

”I WILL KILL YOU!”

The assassins roared like beasts when their companions were killed before their eyes and they couldnʼt do anything to stop it.

Within moments, Yuan had cut their number all the way down to just one.

”Is this all of you? Or will there be more coming later?” Yuan asked Assassin Kong.

Assassin Kong just kneeled there with a dazed look on his face, his spirit broken.

”Hmph.” Yuan didnʼt bother waiting for a response and decapitated him before burning all of their bodies, leaving behind their spatial rings and treasures.

”You guys can come out now.” Yuan said out loud.

Tian Yanyu and Tian Xianzu came out of their hiding spot the following moment.

”You actually managed to kill all of them by yourself…?” Tian Xianzu was in disbelief, but the corpses before him were solid evidence that he could not refute.

Yuan nodded, and he asked, ”Do you know how many assassins the Silent Rippers have? I killed 17— 18 if we consider the one from a few days ago.”

Tian Xianzu pondered for a moment before responding, ”Honestly, nobody knows the exact number, but according to the rumors, there should be about a hundred assassins within their group.”

”A hundred?!” Yuan exclaimed.

”Thatʼs a very small group if you compare them to the other groups that have hundreds of not thousands of assassins.” Tian Yanyu said.

”I guess that makes sense. Anyways, since there are still more than 80 assassins out there, we will continue this for a few more days to see their response.” Yuan then said.

”Alright.”

A few days later, Steward Jin was summoned again by the Silent Rippers. This time, they brought him to a secret location where over 50 of them were gathered.

”W-What is this about? If itʼs about the money, I have already paid the additional 10 million spirit stones!” Steward Jin said, his back soaked in sweat.

”Just who in heavenʼs name did you request us to kill?! 18 of our brothers and sisters are dead because of you!” The leader of the Silent Rippers roared at Steward Jin.

”What?! Thatʼs impossible!” Steward Jin felt his body becoming numb from shock after hearing this information.

”Impossible?! I dare you to tell me itʼs impossible again after seeing this!” The leader proceeded to place 18 broken life tablets on the table before them.

”T-This is…” Steward Jin swallowed nervously.

”Each of these represents one of our companions, and they all died on the same day within moments of each other! Tell me! Who is this Xiao Yang?! If you donʼt give us a satisfying answer, we will kill 18 people from the Lin Family!”

Steward Jin became terrified after hearing the leaderʼs threats.

”I-I swear! I really donʼt know anything about him or his background! He showed up suddenly and started helping the Tian Family! He claimed that his ancestors owed a debt to the Tian Family and that heʼs there to repay that debt! I believed he was a nobody, but since we cannot touch the Tian Family after what happened to the Stone Bandits, we decided to hire you guys to kill him to send a message!” Steward Jin revealed everything to the assassins.

The leader could tell that Steward Jin wasnʼt lying, but he was not satisfied with the answer.

”300 million spirit stones! You will compensate us for our companionsʼ death and pay for our effort. This is the first time the Silent Rippers will be going all-out for a mission with all hands on deck.”

”T-Three hundred million spirit stones?! Thatʼs too much! We donʼt have that much money!” Steward Jin nearly collapsed from shock after hearing this astronomical number.

”Donʼt fuck with me! The Lin Family is one of the Seven Legacy Families! You can definitely pay up! You can either pay us the money or we will kill people from the Lin Family! And we will consider each life to be worth 100,000 spirit stones, so we will kill 3,000 people in total!” The leader shouted.

”No way…” Steward Jin looked like he was in a dismay, and he regretted hiring the Silent Rippers immensely.
