Chapter 548 - 545: The Ultimate Move is to Escape

The assassin took a step back, then slowly raised his hands, his expression deadly serious, "I'll let you know what a real trump card is! Once I use my trump card, you won't escape your doom! Just wait to die! I'm not trying to scare you, my trump card really is powerful, and once it's unleashed, even I won't be able to control it. You'll die horribly, and I'll be severely drained of Yuan Qi! It's a move that injures the enemy and harms myself! I wouldn't use it unless it's absolutely necessary, but today I was pushed to the edge and had no choice but to use it..."

Immortal Master Huang, impatient, curled his lip, "Cut the crap and just use your trump card."

"Wa ya ya... He ya ya... Mo ya ya... Ti ya ya..." The assassin started hopping and dancing wildly, laughing and chattering as if he was performing a ritual dance, his arms and legs flailing in what seemed a rather comical display.

"What sort of nonsense is this?" frowned Immortal Master Huang, "Is this the trump card you were talking about?"

Gao Fei blinked, confusion spreading across his face.

"Swish!"

Suddenly, the assassin pulled out a Yellow Talisman from his bosom and crushed it with the quickest speed, and then... the assassin disappeared...

"Not good!" Immortal Master Huang's complexion changed, and he hurriedly reached out to grab, but it was too late; he let the opponent get away, "Damn it! How infuriating! The bastard! He dared to play me!"

"What happened? How did he disappear all of a sudden?" asked Gao Fei.

"It was that Yellow Talisman," Immortal Master Huang quickly explained, "If I'm not wrong, that talisman must be a high-level Teleportation Talisman."

"A Teleportation Talisman?"

"Yes! A Teleportation Talisman! Once crushed, it can teleport the user away in the blink of an eye, and the higher the level, the longer the distance."

"How can we counter it?"

"It can't be countered! You can only prevent it beforehand! This guy is too cunning, pretending to unleash a trump card to lull us and then stealthily using the Teleportation Talisman to escape. What a crafty plot! Such crafty plotting!" Immortal Master Huang cursed through gritted teeth, "I just can't accept this! Let me give chase; maybe I can catch up." After saying this, Immortal Master Huang leaped away.

In the blink of an eye, only Gao Fei was left in the room. He frowned, his gaze icy, "Dong Feitian! The assassin today was your doing again, wasn't it? It seems you're bent on a fight to the death with me!" he paused for a moment, "What comes around goes around! It's time to strike back!"

It wasn't long before Immortal Master Huang returned, his expression somewhat ugly.

"How did it go? Did you catch up?" asked Gao Fei.

Immortal Master Huang shook his head, "No! I searched thousands of miles in every direction and couldn't find a trace of him."

"If he's gone, then he's gone. It's no big deal," Gao Fei said in a deliberately relaxed manner, "I'm just a bit worried about one thing..."

"What's that?"

"He didn't discover you're from the Demon Race, did he?"

"He... probably... didn't..."

"Can I get a definite answer? Because it's crucial to my future plans."

"No!" said Immortal Master Huang with certainty, "I've always concealed my aura. With his lower cultivation than mine, there's no way he could have discovered that I'm from the Demon Race."

"If that's the case, I can rest easy," Gao Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Since ancient times, the Human Race and Demon Race had been in constant conflict with a highly strained relationship. Should anyone find out about Gao Fei's connection with the Demon Race, it would undoubtedly lead to tremendous trouble—starting with the Human Emperor Dugu Jingtian, who would not let him go.

"I was negligent today," Immortal Master Huang said apologetically, "If I had taken action earlier to restrain the assassin, he wouldn't have had the chance to escape. I am truly sorry."

"Speaking of which, I am also to blame. Both of us were lulled by the enemy," Gao Fei sighed. "They gave us a real lesson. No matter if the enemy is strong or weak, we must treat them with caution and must never underestimate them."

"I will be more cautious in the future. Should a similar situation arise, I will strike immediately to suppress them and not give them a chance to escape," Immortal Master Huang nodded.

"The enemy has repeatedly attempted to assassinate me, clearly not taking me seriously," Gao Fei said. "I must fight back! I can't keep being passive like this!"

"Right, we should strike back. What do you plan to do?"

"Use their own tactics against them! If they send someone to kill me, then I'll send someone to kill them!"

"Let me do it. I guarantee I can capture them easily!"

"That's exactly my intention! Immortal Master Huang, you must be careful and prudent. If you find something amiss, retreat immediately, and don't force the issue," Gao Fei urged.

"Don't worry, I have a clear understanding of the situation. There's no time to delay; I'll set off now," Immortal Master Huang turned and strode away. "Wait for my good news!"

Gao Fei walked to the doorway, watching Immortal Master Huang's retreating figure, and slowly exhaled a stifled breath. "Dong Feitian is at the Unity of Heaven and Man realm, while Immortal Master Huang is at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage. There's a whole major realm difference between them. Even if Dong Feitian has great abilities, he can't possibly be a match for Immortal Master Huang, unless... Dong Feitian has a Transcendence Tribulation Stage expert at his side protecting him, although the likelihood of that is extremely slim." Gao Fei considered all possibilities and finally concluded: Dong Feitian is doomed this time! Taking down Dong Feitian is the first step, the second step is to find a way to clear any suspicion. With a city lord dead, and especially in his own stronghold, it will definitely cause a huge sensation, even alerting Human Emperor Dugu Jingtian, who will surely order a strict investigation. Having had conflicts with Dong Feitian, Gao Fei might then be listed as a suspect...

With his hands behind his back, Gao Fei gazed at the starry sky outside, his eyes flickering non-stop.

...

Xiliang City.

City Lord's Mansion.

Dong Feitian, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, scanning his surroundings with a sharp gaze, "Shadow, is that you?"

"Poof!"

Ripples appeared in the air, and a man wrapped in black cloth emerged from the ripples, his steps showing some weakness: "It's me."

"What happened to you?" Dong Feitian quickly stood up and went over to support the man, who seemed ready to fall. "How did you get so seriously injured?"

"You have caused me trouble," the man complained. "I was nearly killed."

"What in the world happened?" Dong Feitian pulled up a chair for the man to sit down and took a healing pill from his bosom and handed it over.

The man took the elixir and threw it into his mouth. The elixir melted upon contact, turning into a warm current that flowed down his throat into his body. The man closed his eyes and sat quietly for a moment. His complexion regained some color, and his breathing stabilized.

"How were you injured?" Dong Feitian asked. "Tell me quickly."

"The person you sent me to assassinate was too powerful. I nearly fell into his hands," the man said irritably.
