CHAPTER 1087: CHAPTER 1087: WITH SIKONG JING HERE, WE ARE AT EASE

Sikong Jing snapped back to reality upon hearing the words, gently leaping off the Iron Bone Flying Vulture and approaching the two assassin corpses, replying, "Besides this method, I truly can’t think of another way to assassinate."

"The opponent is at the Peak Lingwu Period, not the Peak War Fighting Stage."

Saying this, Sikong Jing quickly searched through the belongings of the two assassins, finding only two spiritual artifacts of upper spirit grade, which he stored away before leaping back onto the Iron Bone Flying Vulture.

"Let’s go. On the way, let’s check the storage space of these two upper-grade spiritual artifacts to see if there’s anything good."

The Iron Bone Flying Vulture remained silent at these words; indeed, besides the method just mentioned, there was no other way to carry out the assassination.

The disparity in realms was just too vast... and this method of assassination, perhaps only Sikong Jing could manage it. To this day, the Iron Bone Flying Vulture didn’t understand how Sikong Jing could be so miraculous.

It only knew that his presence carried an aura that terrified demon beasts, akin to a Beast King.

And so, the Iron Bone Flying Vulture took off without further words.

Before departing, Sikong Jing fiercely disrupted the surrounding space power, to prevent the capture by the Soul Returning Mirror. Of course, Sikong Jing then used the Blood Devouring Dragon Pearl to frantically accelerate towards Old Man Spirit Manor’s direction...

Half an hour after Sikong Jing left, two figures suddenly descended.

One figure, clad in white, was none other than Yao Yulou.

Of course, he had received Duanmu Chun’s message and rushed over to rescue Sikong Jing.

The other figure, wrapped in Yao Yulou’s True Qi, was his stepdaughter Hua Meixi, only this time her face was unusually covered with a veil, and her whole demeanor was very different from before.

Upon landing, they stared intently at the two assassin corpses on the ground.

Yao Yulou immediately activated the Soul Returning Mirror, but the space had been disrupted by Sikong Jing, and the mirror only captured a small bit of a silhouette.

Hua Meixi stared at the blurry silhouette within the Soul Returning Mirror and immediately asked, "Is it Sikong Jing and his mount, the Iron Bone Flying Vulture?"

"Yes, it’s him!"

Yao Yulou nodded slightly and then moved to the sides of the two corpses. After a brief inspection, he said, "They were assassinated with a sword through the skull, killed in one strike."

"There are also gastric juices on their bodies, suggesting they were swallowed into the Iron Bone Flying Vulture’s body and then assassinated."

Saying this, Yao Yulou fell silent, his brow furrowing deeply, and looking towards Hua Meixi he continued, "Judging from the True Qi remnants on these corpses, indeed they were assassins at the Peak Lingwu Period."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Meixi, from under the veil, whispered in disbelief, "Impossible, right?"

It’s absolutely impossible to take down assassins at the Peak Lingwu Period in such an assassinating manner.

Hua Meixi knew very well that Sikong Jing’s Iron Bone Flying Vulture was only at the Martial Battle Realm.

With a wry smile, Yao Yulou murmured back, "I think it’s impossible too, but judging from the Soul Returning Mirror residue and the state of the corpses, they were indeed killed by Sikong Jing and the Iron Bone Flying Vulture working together, no third person or beast appeared nearby."

Blinking, Hua Meixi found herself unable to accept it momentarily.

"Of course, I think there must be some other means, like if the two assassins were poisoned or something."

"But even if so, it only indicates that Sikong Jing is truly precise and ruthless, defying comprehension."

Listening to Yao Yulou’s words, Hua Meixi strongly agreed.

Even with some poisoned tactics, facing two assassins at the Peak Lingwu Period and still managing to retreat unscathed, even taking them down.

It’s simply an unimaginable miracle...

Suddenly, Yao Yulou gazed deeply at his stepdaughter and said, "Meixi, now you know why I said before coming here that with Sikong Jing around, I felt assured about your safety in the Spirit-snatching War, right?"

Hua Meixi’s body tensed slightly, speechless.

She had only regained consciousness three days ago from a coma, and she had learned from Yao Yulou about the events of that night, realizing she owed Sikong Jing a life, even two lives!

Because one of those lives was owed by her mother, naturally, she, the daughter, had to repay it.

However, Hua Meixi’s feelings remained extraordinarily complicated. Initially displeased that Sikong Jing had revealed the existence of Hua Lidian to her mother, she had even planned to have a huge argument with him, only to find herself owing two lives.

Now, what was there to argue about? During the three days of consciousness, Hua Meixi truly didn’t know how to face Sikong Jing.

Thus, she hadn’t gone to express her gratitude.

Then Weng Ting arrived, inviting her to participate in her family’s Spirit-snatching War. Hua Meixi certainly wanted to join but knew her mother and Uncle Yao would definitely not agree...

But miraculously, when the two heard Sikong Jing would also participate, they both agreed.

Both stated they felt at ease with Sikong Jing to take care of her.

At that moment, Hua Meixi was angry, resentful, and bewildered; she was the captain of the team, after all, so why did Sikong Jing need to take care of her?

After that, protected by Uncle Yao, she headed to the agreed location at Old Man Spirit Manor with Weng Ting.

Worried about retaliation from Yang Zhi or Shiyu Commerce, Yao Yulou insisted on escorting her to the location, and then received Duanmu Chun’s message that Sikong Jing was assassinated.

Finally, there was this moment now, when she rushed over to see the scene before her.

Sikong Jing didn’t need Uncle Yao’s rescue; he alone dealt with two assassins at the Peak Lingwu Period.

How exactly did he achieve that?

Just as countless thoughts swirled in Hua Meixi’s mind, Yao Yulou suddenly said, "Meixi, you should go to Old Man Spirit Manor first by yourself now. Pei Feishan should no longer focus his attention on you."

"I’ll stay here and wait for the Great Dominator Technique."

Hua Meixi was slightly startled, but then she nodded gently.

Now that Sikong Jing had taken down two Lingwu Period assassins, surely he had captured all of Pei Feishan’s attention.

Moreover, Hua Meixi also wanted to go alone.

Being protected by Uncle Yao felt so embarrassing, afraid that Weng Ting and others would say she’s still a child.

Just like that, Hua Meixi was about to leave but suddenly paused to ask, "Uncle Yao, what exactly is with my Demon Charm Battle Body? Why did it suddenly elevate three grades, and I can barely keep it under control?"

To this day, Hua Meixi still didn’t understand why her Demon Charm Battle Body could upgrade so extraordinarily.

It’s just too bizarre!

And that night at Wuming Manor, although Hua Meixi’s memories were a little hazy, she felt her emotions were intensely wild.

It was as if a terrifying Fierce Beast was hidden within her, which alarmed Hua Meixi greatly.

Yao Yulou looked at the puzzled Hua Meixi with a slightly tense expression.

Finally, he responded, "Your physique is very peculiar; I’m not entirely sure what’s going on, but you absolutely cannot let it upgrade unchecked. It must be contained first."

"Your mother also said your condition was very strange that day, almost as if you were going to self-destruct."

"In any case, as your mother and I advised, inform Sikong Jing of your situation and let him examine you."

Hearing these words, Hua Meixi lightly bit her lip; once again, it was Sikong Jing.
