Chapter 237 Three Assassinations of the Saint
"I'm curious, how did you find me?"

Lu Cang appeared before Sheng Yi, in the form of Qiong Ye.

Seiichi held up the glass of wine in front of him with a nonchalant air.

"The use of magic will inevitably leave behind magical fluctuations."

"If I'm not mistaken, you came to my room this morning..."

"Although I can't sense where this magic is coming from, the fluctuations of magic that once existed here cannot be concealed."

The source of the magic cannot be traced.

I guess it's because I have a talent for solving "unsolved mysteries".

However, this magical perception is truly remarkable...

If it were on the street, there would be people using magic everywhere, and since the source couldn't be traced, no one would easily notice the details of the magic.

However, the presence of traces of magic in its secret chamber is indeed a bit too conspicuous.

It's like the difference between tire tracks on a main road and tire tracks in a bedroom; the difference in visibility is completely different.

However, I can still sense it even after so long.

Such an outrageous magical perception has only been seen in Izzy.

Lu Cang: "Is that all?"

Sheng Yi's smile was faint. He didn't answer directly, but simply said, "I think you're trying to trick me into revealing information."

Lu Cang said calmly, "No, I'm just worried that you won't be able to finish saying all your last words before you die."

Saint One smiled faintly: "The Forgotten Kingdom can only be entered by those at level five or below."

"My reincarnation mark also dissipated on January 1st."

"It has been almost three months so far."

"Although I don't remember exactly what level you were, I at least remember the battle back then. I was a level 3 class all the time..."

"I don't think your level will increase much during this period."

During the process of Saint One speaking.

Lu Cang gradually sensed that one after another, powerful figures from the Samsara sect were taking to the air, completely surrounding the area.

Meanwhile, nearby residents, sensing the commotion, began to flee.

A colossal barrier has risen here, along with countless rising fortresses!
The other party is speaking, but it's not simply about providing information.

Instead, they are stalling for time.

Delay until his arrangements are complete, delay until the encirclement is formed.

However, although Lu Cang knew this, he did not act immediately, because this was a rehearsal, and Lu Cang wanted to see how many tricks he would use.

hum!
The entire city of Atlanta has been completely sealed off.

Meanwhile, the opponent released tiny, mist-like robots around itself.

A level 6 mechanic, but a bunch of level 7 mechanical creations.

The two looked at each other.

boom!
Almost instantly, Lu Cang's spear pierced through Sheng Yi!

"Azure Flow - Six Styles: Ultimate Purification (Sacrifice 1000 million souls)"

"Purification (Tier 5) (LV: 401)"

Now that I've reached level 4 mage, I no longer use Soul Condensation Explosion; instead, I've switched to the much more powerful Purification.

Lu Cang compressed his attack to its absolute limit, and his spear had already struck the opponent's body!

Seiichi's expression was clearly one of astonishment!
Lu Cang was too fast; he was so fast that there was no time to react!

boom!
Saint Yi was blasted out like a jet of air, smashing through countless walls!
Beneath his sturdy clothes, his necklace and rings were shattered.

Tsk, a whole bunch of life-saving gadgets.

How can there be such a shameless person who just refuses to die?

boom!
Almost instantly, Lu Cang also sensed countless powerful auras forming in the sky!

A "seventh-order Root Magic" is forming.

At the same time! Countless different attacks were also pressing down on the ground!

boom!
The frail pedestrians fleeing on the street were instantly shattered into blood in the aftershocks!
This Holy One!

They really acted decisively.

If he could encounter his past self with the mark of reincarnation again, he wouldn't care how he slaughtered civilians or whether he might accidentally harm ordinary people.

This desire to kill oneself is so unwavering.

Unhindered by any moral constraints, without any mental burden!
Lu Cang had completely sensed the other party's determination to kill him!

As Lu Cang pursued the enemy with his spear, he unleashed his army of undead!

Roar!
Hordes of submerged monsters appeared like mountains and seas!
And just then!
The seventh-order primal magic in the sky has been released!

"Seventh-Tier Root Magic: Soul Absolution"

hum!
Lu Cang instantly felt his soul tremble, as if it were about to be replaced by someone else's soul!
however.

It was just a jolt!
Lu Cang's soul and body are completely integrated; his body is intact, and his soul is unaffected!

Lu Cang's soul was supposed to be switched, but it was switched to the soul of that Root Mage, and he was temporarily under his control.

But in the end, Lu Cang only felt a tearing sensation in his body, and with extremely fast recovery, he instantly returned to his peak condition!
Nothing happened!

The seventh-tier primal magic, when finally unleashed, had absolutely no effect!
The level 7 Origin Mage in the sky was stunned!
At the same time, Lu Cang had already swung his spear!
"Azure Flow - Seventh Form: Illusion"

In an instant, five Lu Cang figures appeared all around, each radiating a faint, colorful light!
At the same time, he wielded the Void Ring Star Spear!

In the blink of an eye, he unleashed dozens of combat techniques at Saint One!

hum-

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom—

Centered on the battle between the two, a spherical shockwave instantly exploded!

It instantly destroyed all living beings below level 6!

Almost simultaneously, "Source·Reflection of the Past" appeared!

Boom boom boom boom boom!

All that could be seen was a flurry of attacks! In the distance, dozens of phantom images of Lu Cang could be vaguely seen, all attacking the same person!

And every single strike!
A huge booming aftershock spread out from them!

Only a few level 7 experts were able to stand up in the aftershocks of the explosion!
Despite being attacked repeatedly by himself, Seiichi's clothes were torn and his items were broken one after another!
The first spear struck his ring, the second shattered his necklace, the third tore his clothes, and the fourth smashed his bracelet...

Bang bang bang bang!
The life-saving items kept breaking, almost without stopping, and Lu Cang's attacks were indeed consistently effective.

But this also infuriated Lu Cang!

Damn, this guy has way too many life-saving gadgets on him!

How many are there exactly?

Are you so afraid of dying?

If you're so afraid of death, you can be a coward and not bother with this kind of life.

Saint One, who was being blasted away by Lu Cang, was also shocked.

Sheng Yi never imagined that he would be completely powerless to fight back and be chased and beaten.

At this moment, he is not an existence within the cycle of reincarnation.

He did not acquire all the professions from his previous life at the same time, but only three level 6 professions. However... he now has more items and more ways to save his life!

In fact, he should have completely overwhelmed Lu Cang in terms of rank!
But why did it turn out that he was completely outmatched?
Sheng Yi vaguely remembered that when he was fighting for reincarnation, he only lost by one move. He didn't remember exactly where he lost, but his impression was that he narrowly lost, not that he was so badly defeated!

But... this guy can't kill me anytime soon.

clack clack clack-

Countless mechanical components were rising into the sky. These mechanical fragments, glowing with a faint golden light, gathered together and gradually assembled high above the ground!

"Sky City"

An extremely magnificent mechanical city floated above the continent of Missirus!

The massive cannon muzzle was pointed downwards, and Lu Cang instantly felt an extremely dangerous premonition!

This battle is different from the last rehearsal!

"Divine Essence: The Cannon of Heaven and Earth Annihilation"

All that could be seen was azure energy flowing from the muzzle of the cannon in the sky.

Lu Cang vaguely sensed an extremely high level of energy flowing within him!
Mechanics, through extremely precise structures and the application of energy, create mechanical creations with power far exceeding that of ordinary people.

If a magician's power comes from within, it all stems from their own reflection and introspection.

The mechanic's power then relies more on external objects.

The power of a mechanical creation depends on the materials used and the energy sources that can be found.

The energy source of the waste is so poor that it's difficult to even start the machinery.

But if it's a powerful energy source... then it's enough to destroy the world.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the mechanic's ideas, operations, and creativity are unimportant.

However, regardless of any other additional conditions.

Materials and energy are the purest numerical values ​​for a mechanic.

Lu Cang finally sensed that although he had received a warning, there was no way to dodge this attack!
Swish!
Lu Cang instantly became ethereal!

"Forgetting Emptiness"

In an instant, it vanished into nothingness!
boom!
But then a dazzling beam of light fell!

Just for a moment.

The entire world was left with only a pure white expanse. In a very short time, a second had passed, and Lu Cang emerged from the ethereal state!
It was completely enveloped by this attack from the sky!
Lu Cang's body kept breaking apart!

The cores stacked one on top of another, forming countless layers of shields to protect themselves!
In the distance, gazing at Lu Cang, who was almost reduced to ashes, his body reformed from the ashes, only to shatter again and become inhuman...

"Azure Flow: First Form - Resolving, Regenerating, and Tempering the Source of the Dharma Body"

"Understanding" and "Life" represent two different moods associated with the moon.

The understanding of the realm accelerated his breakthrough to higher limits, allowing Lu Cang to repeatedly break through the physical limits of the 4th stage!

Combined with the warrior's talent: "God-level Physical Limit".

"Effect: Increases the efficiency of physical tempering by a hundredfold, increases the physical strength limit by a thousandfold, and also increases it by a thousandfold when breaking through the limit."

Lu Cang's physical strength is perhaps 100,000 times that of an ordinary level 4 warrior.

In addition, the concept of life permanently enhances one's self-healing ability.

And at this very moment, the first technique of body tempering, one of the many combat skills learned from the Church of Life, is also simultaneously operating at LV:401!
Combined with "God-level - Unparalleled Body of Ten Thousand Battles"

Immortal!

No matter what, they stubbornly refuse to die!

……

Saint One's pupils involuntarily contracted tightly.

What kind of monster is this person?!

Why can't this kill him?!
How can anyone survive such destruction?

This strike used a trace of divine essence energy!

In his sixth life, he was both a level 7 mechanic and a level 8 destroyer... The power of this shot not only contained the creative power of a level 7 mechanic, but also some insights from a level 8 destroyer!

Its power has completely annihilated the continent of Missirus, capable of instantly killing a level 7 job changer!
But what exactly is this being before us?
broken.

Then regenerate—

Even though it had completely turned to ash, how could it be restored?
Is he immortal?
Is this a regenerative ability that humans possess?
How exactly can I kill him?!

boom!
Lu Cang felt each "core" shatter, repair itself in the process of shattering, and shatter again in the process of repair.

But... isn't this destruction a bit too powerful?
I really can't take it anymore!
Finally, I made it to the fifth second!
Lu Cang once again vanished into nothingness...

……

Lu Cang opened his eyes and turned his head.

He saw Leng Qingying beside him.

Lu Cang broke out in a cold sweat.

"Fortunately, we didn't act rashly." The reason for not acting wasn't solely out of caution; it also stemmed from a foresight of the future and a premonition of avoiding misfortune...

It was the combination of various perceptions that allowed Lu Cang to plan carefully before taking action.

Now... it's already been rehearsed; the opponent has a trump card that's enough to kill them.

And if we really fight him...

The entire continent of Missirus will be destroyed... This is definitely not a good choice.

Lu Cang pondered in his heart.

The other party's entire body is a mechanical creation; it seems that his body is at least a level 7 mechanical masterpiece.

To destroy it in an instant, one might have to try sacrificing all the souls in a single moment.

But the destructive power is too great.

It could be so large that the entire continent would perish with it.

mechanical……

Are you afraid of poison?
It seems that I need to carefully consider my decision to poison him.

However, there are also poisons specifically designed for use in machinery.

The sky base that ended everything and extended a huge cannon downwards appeared to have risen from various parts of Atlantis... In other words, those machines needed to be pre-programmed and were not on his body.

There must be ways to crack or destroy it in advance.

Hmm... if the other person's body is mechanical.

Indeed, we should still take a closer look at his composition and find out his true strength.

Lu Cang pondered for a moment, then looked at Leng Qingying beside him.

Soon, the next round of rehearsals began.

During the second rehearsal, Leng Qingying sneaked in without using magic, and surprisingly, he didn't even notice her.

It seems the other party is just more sensitive to magic. As an assassin, Leng Qingying was silent and left no trace during this stealth.

It seems that assassinations are best left to professionals.

Although his various methods are all powerful in their own way, when it comes to assassination, they are only related to unsolved mysteries.

Everything else, really, is not suitable for assassination.

If it's about concealing one's presence with mist or something similar, or instantly appearing with spatial magic, then perhaps that's plausible.

But the real problem is still... the noise and disturbance.

Ultimately, only assassins can remain silent.

After attempting to poison him, Seiichi finally drank the poisoned wine.

Lu Cang quietly observed the other person's changes.

But then he saw the other person frown, and their expression suddenly became extremely uncomfortable!

Swish!
There was absolutely no hesitation!

Leng Qingying and Lu Cang appeared at the same time!
boom!
when!
The two simultaneously unleashed attacks with vastly different power!
Countless fragments flew off Saint One's body!

Lu Cang could not remove the rings and necklaces from the other person on his own, because the other person was wearing them. Lu Cang's spatial interception was to intercept an entire continuous and complete solid polyhedron.

There should be no blank spaces in between.

This means that if Lu Cang wants to take the other person's ring and necklace, he has to cut off the other person's neck and fingers.

However, the fundamental magic of Chaos cannot directly divide the human body...

If this spatial magic could directly split a person in two, Lu Cang wouldn't be moving around in battle; he could directly split the enemy into two halves.

boom!
Despite being caught off guard, Seiichi managed to regain his footing almost immediately.

The next instant, he secretly sent out a mechanical signal!

Command the space-based system to launch!

But this time...

No machinery flew out of the sky.

In this simulation, Lu Cang searched for components of "Holy Sky City" in various corners of the city.

It turns out this thing is like a nuclear missile launch tower.

After receiving the order, it will begin to launch and eventually complete assembly in the sky.

The entire city of Atlanta has this "Sky-based Holy Sky City" launch site.

Fighting here truly makes it the opponent's home ground.

In yesterday's final rehearsal, the opponent did not use this Holy Sky City against them because they had just arrived in Missirus yesterday and many of their machines were not yet assembled.

I guess that's how they see it.

I launched a sudden attack before he was ready, which means I had calculated it carefully.

No wonder he made such a decisive choice back then, choosing to flee after a brief engagement.

At this moment, Sheng Yi was killed by the two of them and was also poisoned.

This toxin is a mixture of toxins that Lu Cang extracted from all the submerged-level monsters. A normal level 6 job changer should die instantly if they drank it.

It seems he is indeed very resistant to poison.

Seiichi suffered a nervous breakdown and became completely confused.

In the midst of the urgency, many level 7 powerhouses from "Reincarnation" also arrived.

tsk...

These people are so annoying.

boom!
Lu Cang slammed Sheng Yi into the ground, the spear piercing through his throat, but inside the throat, it felt an extremely solid metallic texture.

This body.

What materials were used for the modification?

It's incredibly sturdy!

No wonder the poison had little effect on him.

At the same time, upon making contact, Lu Cang frantically scanned Sheng Yi's body structure, searching for his weaknesses!
Mechanical creation.

The body contains a "core of divine essence" as its core driving force.

Its body is made of "Eternal Crystal," which can absorb a large amount of impact like a swamp. Almost 99% of any force that hits it will become its own power.

In addition, there is the "Memory Forging Method," which imbues the "Eternal Crystal" with the properties of memory metal, allowing it to be restored even if destroyed...

The body is not entirely devoid of flesh and blood; rather, the flesh and blood and the mechanical body have completely grown together.

Even its storage function is inside its body, where flesh and blood are completely intertwined.

No wonder they couldn't find his storage bag to steal.

He really is... a troublesome guy.

Lu Cang drove Sheng Yi underground. Although Sheng Yi had mastered professions such as Sword Saint and Demon Warrior in his previous life, at this moment, Sheng Yi only had three knowledge-based professions.

Even if one has strong combat experience from a previous life.

At this moment, there are no melee classes, so they will find it extremely difficult to fight Lu Cang in close combat!
Although he is physically strong.

However, even with just the performance of this body, he was still completely suppressed by Lu Cang.

But suddenly, a dazzling magical light shone from his body.

Swah——

He took the hit of Lu Cang's "Sixth Form: Extreme" head-on, but after taking this attack, Sheng Yi's body disappeared!
The assassination attempt failed again, and Lu Cang opened his eyes once more.

He glanced at Leng Qingying beside him again.

Then, he closed his eyes again.

Reactivating "God-Level Future Preview"

This time, Lu Cang disrupted more of the opponent's plans and changed the type of poison he was going to use.

The dosage was increased significantly.

Previously, the wine was laced with poison, but this time, Lu Cang replaced the entire bottle with poison.

Saint One actually drank it all in one gulp!

Before he even realized something was wrong after finishing the drink, Lu Cang had already thrust his spear directly into his rear!

"Azure Flow - Sixth Form: Extreme"

The source is injected into the other person's body!

"Source Purification (Tier 5) (LV: 401) - 100 million souls"

At the same time, more of Lu Cang's figures appeared all around!
"Azure Flow - Seventh Form: Illusion"

Almost at the same instant Lu Cang acted, countless life-saving items on his body shattered!

He was able to briefly save his life in the face of that single blow!

In the blink of an eye, his entire body vanished right before Lu Cang's eyes—

run……

Run again?

They really run fast.

After the third rehearsal was completed, Lu Cang let out a long sigh of relief.

It seems that killing this Saint One completely is not as simple as I thought.

Fortunately, the enemy is now in the open while we are in the dark.

……

There is one last rehearsal opportunity left, which is reserved as a precaution. Lu Cang always leaves one last rehearsal opportunity for use in emergency situations.

"Hmm... let's skip it today."

Leng Qingying: "Forget it?"

Lu Cang: "Okay, let's go back first today and come back tomorrow."

"However, if you faced an opponent with numerous survival skills and an exceptional ability to escape, how would you ensure you could defeat him?"

Heard this topic.

Leng Qingying's eyes suddenly lit up with a variety of colors!

"Hmph, you've come to the right person." She crossed her arms, her nose held high, looking smug.

Uh--

I don't know what you're so excited about. For a little girl to be so skilled at killing is definitely not something to be proud of.

"Our teacher taught us that the most important thing for an assassin is patience."

Why don't I see patience in you?

"Even the most formidable prey will eventually let its guard down."

"No one can be fully prepared at all times."

"If the enemy has too many defenses, then what needs to be done is to find a way to dismantle their defenses layer by layer."

"A truly powerful assassin not only kills enemies in battle, but also makes them lower their guard and expose their weaknesses in daily life, even directly seizing their secrets, just like holding a man's genitals in your hand. Once you have it, you can threaten him and he can only sit and wait for his death."

?

Little sister, did you just say something terrible?

Is this something your school teachers taught you?

Kumiloni, what school did you send this child to?
And that teacher at the assassin school... I really have to use my authority as the chief mage to report you.

With heavy thoughts, Lu Cang and Leng Qingying slowly returned to their residence.

Hearing Leng Qingying explain her insights on murder, although it seemed absurd and outrageous, it also gave one a sense of sudden enlightenment...

It seems that my understanding of assassination is still too superficial.

To attempt to assassinate a powerful figure like Seiichi without having specifically studied this area is rather arrogant.

However, Saint One.

I'd also like to see just how many assassination attempts you can evade.

At this moment, Lu Cang felt no regret or guilt about killing Sheng Yi, because the other party had also tried his best to kill him.
