How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!

Boom!

Chen Yu violently lifted the black sword in his hand, releasing a dark red evil sword wave that howled, startling all around.

He stimulated his dragon scale bloodline, and his strength and defense surged tremendously. The power of this sword reached the Innate Peak Level.

The male assassin was frightened by Chen Yu's sword and immediately switched from offense to defense.

Boom!

He was thrown into the air and smashed into an ancient tree, with a trickle of fresh blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Although the male assassin was also at the Innate Peak, he specialized more in assassination, and his direct combat ability was inferior.

Even if they clashed head-on, his dagger against the Giant Ruler Sword would only put him at a further disadvantage.

"Senior Brother!"

The female assassin couldn't help but exclaim.

It was unimaginable that this assassination target, merely at the Early Innate, could detect their ambush and even repel her senior brother.

After repelling the male assassin, Chen Yu stopped his enlargement.

Roar~

A black evil wind burst from his body, and with his movement technique secret art, he sped toward the male assassin incredibly fast.

Among the two assassins, the male posed a greater threat, so Chen Yu attacked him first.

"Junior Sister, I'll hold him off, and you pretend to be incapacitated by poison and wait for an opportunity to strike!"

The male assassin conveyed his thoughts through sound transmission.

Despite the unexpected difficulty of this assassination mission, he chose not to retreat. As someone standing at the Innate Peak, failing to kill someone at the Early Innate would leave him with no face to meet others in the future.

"Okay!"

The female assassin responded.

At this moment, she had managed to expel some of the toxins in her body, and the remaining toxins were barely suppressed; however, she could only exert seventy to eighty percent of her strength.

Boom!

Chen Yu's sword descended, sending dirt and wood flying.

Swoosh!

Amid the dust, the male assassin fled.

After stimulating his bloodline, Chen Yu was overwhelmingly strong, and the male assassin dared not face him head-on.

Just then, the male assassin seemed to sense something.

Swoosh!

A dark blue light darted past, but the male assassin quickly stopped his foot and dodged the sneak attack by the Iron Moon Strange Insect.

"Not an ordinary assassin, keen observation and quick response!"

Chen Yu thought to himself.

So far, not many had managed to dodge the Iron Moon Strange Insect's sneak attacks in this manner. This man would be considered top-notch even in the Institute.

Although the Iron Moon Strange Insect's sneak attack failed, it caused a slight hesitation in the male assassin's steps.

Roar~

Chen Yu escalated his movement technique secret art to another level, dragging a shadow behind him as he rapidly closed in on the male assassin.

Boom!

The Giant Ruler Sword thrust straight out, its surface gathering a Sha Qi Sword, and aimed for the face of the male assassin.

The male assassin, nerves tense, reacted in time and slightly shifted his body to dodge Chen Yu's formidable sword.

Chen Yu found the male assassin extremely tricky to deal with, not only were his movement techniques profound, but his body was also extremely agile.

He immediately retracted his sword and threw a punch with his other hand toward the male assassin.

Swoosh!

The male assassin tapped the ground with his toes and retreated.

Since he was withdrawing his sword mid-strike and changing direction temporarily, the punch did not burst forth with great speed. Even though the assassin was retreating, Chen Yu's fist always missed by just a bit.

However, at that moment, a semi-transparent dark gleaming short sword suddenly appeared in Chen Yu's hand.

"What?"

The male assassin's face drastically changed, and his heart raced.

He was cautious by nature and had determined that Chen Yu's punch would not hit him.

But there before him, Chen Yu had conjured a short sword out of thin air—this was simply cheating.

Swoosh!

The short sword in his hand shot out, transforming into a dim beam of light.

The male assassin let out a low shout, and a burst of dark True Qi exploded within him, defending ahead.

But Chen Yu's Dark Snake Sword was of supreme king grade. Under Chen Yu's immense power, its penetrating power was extremely strong.

Puchi!

The layer of True Qi was pierced, and the Dark Snake Sword plunged into the male assassin's chest.

Cough, cough!

Having been impaled, the male assassin coughed up a large mouthful of fresh blood and his body fell to the ground.

He prepared to flee immediately, but with his injuries and the spreading poison from the wound, his speed was no longer a match for Chen Yu's.

Boom!

Having caught up with the male assassin, Chen Yu kicked him in the buttocks, sending him flying into the grass beside them.

"You..."

The male assassin glared stubbornly at Chen Yu.

As an assassin, he had always been elusive, striking lethally. Even if he failed, with his movement techniques, he could come and go freely, and enemies couldn't even touch the hem of his garment, let alone injure him.

But this time, he was actually kicked there.

Of course, now was not the time to dwell on this.

"Speak, who sent you!"

Chen Yu approached the male assassin, placing the Giant Ruler Sword at his neck.

"Ha ha..."

Facing death, the male assassin was not afraid but instead laughed heartily.

He laughed at his own failure, especially at being defeated by someone at the Early Innate. But he did not feel unjustly defeated, as this young man had somehow conjured a short sword out of nowhere, which was utterly illogical.

The next moment, black blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his head tilted.

Clearly, he had concealed poison in his mouth and committed suicide.

Upon removing the black cloth from his face and not recognizing him, Chen Yu did not bother further, took the Dark Snake Sword and the opponent's storage bag, and quickly pursued the other direction.

If the opponent had just refused to answer, Chen Yu would have killed him with one strike, as he couldn't afford to waste much time, nor could he let the other female assassin escape.

When Chen Yu conjured the Dark Snake Sword and struck the male assassin, the female assassin had already fled.

However, the Iron Moon Strange Insect had followed her.

...

The light was dim, and the mist was hazy.

A female assassin with a slender figure navigated swiftly through it, incredibly agile.

Behind her, a dark blue light swiftly glided through the air, tightly pursuing her.

Although the female assassin was at Late Innate, her movement technique was extremely fast. The Iron Moon Strange Insect was also a strong contender in terms of speed. Its small size and strong penetration meant it almost traveled in a straight line, without the need to turn.

Moreover, the female assassin was still suffering from the toxin's torment, and could only utilize eighty percent of her speed.

"Damn it, get lost!"

The female assassin struck out with a palm, sending out a dark gray palm wave.

However, the Iron Moon Strange Insect directly burrowed down, entering the ground.

The earth became its best defense, and moreover, it had a strong resistance to True Qi.

In the ground, the Iron Moon Strange Insect's speed was barely reduced, still closely following the female assassin.

A roar~

Suddenly, a wind roar came from behind.

The female assassin knew that this was the noise produced by Chen Yu using his movement technique secret knowledge.

"He's here!"

The female assassin shivered all over.

Her senior brothers had all died at the hands of Chen Yu, how could she possibly be a match for him?

Roar roar roar!

The wind roaring grew increasingly fierce, containing an overbearing demonic aura and an astonishing Evil Qi, like an unmatched fierce demon constantly roaring, tormenting the female assassin's mind at all times.

"Spare my life…"

The female assassin immediately begged for mercy.

Chen Yu remained unmoved. For those who wanted to kill him, he was never merciful.

At that moment.

A tremendous True Qi fluctuation came from ahead.

"There's someone ahead!"

The female assassin's eyes shifted, and she immediately shed her black nightwear.

Beneath it, she wore simple blue and white clothes; shedding the nightwear instantly transformed her into a delicate and pitiable woman.

"Save me, please save a poor girl!"

The female assassin cried out plaintively, a pleading tone in her voice.

With her strength, there was no escape from Chen Yu. Death was only a matter of time, so she chose this strategy.

The several people ahead appeared to be on their way too, and the two parties quickly converged.

The leader wore blood-colored clothes with a cold face, radiating an astonishing scent of blood.

"Hmm?"

The blood-clothed man's gaze turned towards Chen Yu and the woman, and he leaped over.

"There's hope!"

The female assassin's face slightly brightened.

The three individuals before her were all powerful, especially the blood-clothed man leading them, who emitted a terrifying aura, seemingly with the intention to save her.

However, when she saw the face of the blood-clothed man, her complexion suddenly turned pale.

Whoosh!

The blood-clothed man suddenly extended his right hand, and a surge of bloody Qi flowed out.

The next moment, a stream of blood emerged around the female assassin's body, binding her tightly, rendering her immobile.

"Senior Brother Jin!"

Chen Yu looked towards the blood-clothed man, who was Jin Zhuo Peak, the top figure of the Blood Slaughter Institute.

He'd seen Jin Zhuo Peak once when he went to collect a mission, so he remembered him.

"Chen, what's going on?"

Jin Zhuo Peak asked.

"She's an assassin."

Chen Yu explained.

Otherwise, his relentless chase of a woman would indeed be very misleading.

But Chen Yu was puzzled; Jin Zhuo Peak actually recognized him.

Although the fact that he was taken as a disciple by the vice-principal had been circulated, Jin Zhuo Peak should have just returned from an adventure, proving that he wasn't in the institute previously.

However, since they were both from the same institute, a different branch, it wasn't strange for Jin Zhuo Peak to recognize Chen Yu.

At that moment, the female assassin, bound by Jin Zhuo Peak, overflowed with black blood from the corners of her mouth, obviously having bitten a poison capsule to commit suicide.

"She's dead!"

Jin Zhuo Peak said indifferently, tossing her body aside.

"Chen, who have you offended to have an assassin after you?" Jin Zhuo Peak asked.

"That... I'm not sure!"

Chen Yu had offended too many people, and many could be possible suspects.

"If you're not in trouble, come with us. It'll be safer!"

Jin Zhuo Peak offered.

The other two students present were somewhat surprised; Jin Zhuo Peak was usually reticent, even less likely to actively befriend and please weaker individuals.

"I was just about to return to the institute too."

Chen Yu nodded.

He wasn't sure if there would be more assassins on the way; if he returned with Jin Zhuo Peak, there wouldn't be an issue.

Three days later, Chen Yu arrived at the institute.

First, he completed his tasks, earning a total of thirty-five thousand No Demon Points.

Although the other two tasks were simpler, they mainly involved killing the Poison Dragon, which rewarded him with more No Demon Points.

Additionally, for killing two assassins and the Poison Dragon, Chen Yu gained substantial extra rewards.

That day, Chen Yu found his senior brother Yuan Chen.

"Encountered an assassination?"

Yuan Chen was somewhat surprised.

He anticipated Chen Yu facing danger while traveling, but didn't expect it so soon.

"Any clues or suspects?"

Yuan Chen inquired.

"None."

Chen Yu shook his head; he had not found any obvious clues or evidence in the storage bags of those two.

"If someone in the dark forces put out a bounty on you, you might encounter assassins again."

Yuan Chen's expression grew colder.

The best solution to this was to kill the bounty issuer, enhance his own strength, and make the assassination task surpass the bounty amount so that no one would take the task again.

"But there's another possibility. You haven't offended anyone, and the assassin wasn't motivated by a bounty."

Yuan Chen's expression turned serious, and his voice dropped a few decibels.
