Zhao Yanwu never expected that Zuo Dao could awaken after sustaining such severe injuries, and it seemed he had fully recovered.
"Hello everyone!" In the face of the murderous intent surrounding him, Zuo Dao remained unfazed, radiating a sunny smile. No one knew why he could still smile, but Zuo Dao was indeed in high spirits.
Xing Luan's "Heavenly Immortal Stab" had been a significant opportunity for him. While unconscious, the four forces within him battled fiercely, causing him immense suffering. His muscles, meridians, and blood vessels had been destroyed countless times; if Zuo Dao hadn't sealed his Nascent Soul, he would have been in unbearable pain many times over.
In the end, when the four forces intertwined, he decisively unleashed the power of the Heavenly Immortal Stab. Although it couldn't completely shatter them, it did create an imbalance among the four forces. However, just as his Nascent Soul was about to intervene, an unexpected change occurred. The four forces were simultaneously sealed away, and even he didn't know where this seal came from.
The Divine Lock and Celestial Chain within him disappeared, replaced by four large seals. For a moment, Zuo Dao felt like cursing. Although there were drawbacks to this situation, there were also benefits: he no longer had to exhaust himself over a bit of Celestial Aura.
What delighted him was that he discovered he could manipulate the four forces to a limited extent; even though it was only one-tenth of their power, he was quite satisfied.
As he inhaled deeply and exhaled the celestial energy around him, feeling it flow through his meridians, Zuo Dao felt an indescribable joy.
The sudden appearance of Zuo Dao stunned Xing Kong and his three companions. Although they were elites from the Dark Realm, any misjudgment in such circumstances could jeopardize their mission.
"Are you that mysterious Array Master?" Xian Lan was the first to react. He had experienced firsthand the defenses of that Airship. After a round of attacks, their opponent had suffered no damage while several of their own had been injured.
"Oh? I didn't expect to be so famous now," Zuo Dao teased.
"Indeed! If it weren't for your presence, we wouldn't have ended up in this predicament. Had we known you would show up, we wouldn't have found ourselves in such a situation," Xian Lan remarked. The two "if onlys" sounded absurd coming from him but reflected the harsh reality they faced.
Since Zuo Dao's appearance, the entire event had undergone a significant transformation—from an assassination attempt to an open confrontation. Moreover, Zuo Dao's presence magnified the situation infinitely.
If Zhao Yanwu had been assassinated immediately, it certainly wouldn't have led to the current scenario that forced the Dark Realm into hiding. If Zhao Yanwu had been killed right away, even if the Dark Realm wanted to stir trouble, they would have to consider the consequences—whether it was worth pursuing a dead man.
Essentially, this mission for the Dark Realm had been completely ruined by Zuo Dao's actions. It marked one of the greatest losses in Dark Realm history. Several squads of Golden Punishment had been annihilated under Zuo Dao's hands; these were invaluable assets for Dark Realm that had unexpectedly vanished.
"It seems I've spoiled your plans; I apologize for that," Zuo Dao said sincerely, leaving the four at a loss regarding his intentions.
"Actually, this doesn't concern us much; if anything, we should thank you," Xian Lan replied without hesitation. At this point, he had spoken more than anyone else; even Xing Kong acknowledged his authority to speak while others remained silent.
"Oh? Is that so?" Zuo Dao's interest was piqued.
"There has always been competition among us Golden Punishment members. By eliminating several teams of Golden Punishment, you've indirectly helped us; expressing gratitude is only right," Xian Lan spoke as if they were old friends catching up with Zuo Dao.
"Then what if I take you all down? There will still be people thanking you, right?" Although Xian Lan's words were always polite, Zuo Dao saw through the underlying sharpness.
"That depends on whether you have the appetite for it, young master," Xian Lan replied with a calm expression and a faint smile.
"Impressive! Truly impressive!" Zuo Dao gave Xian Lan a thumbs up. He then turned to Chen Yang and asked, "How come there's such a big difference between us when we came from the same place?"
Chen Yang couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Boss, they're from the Golden Execution Green Kill, and I'm from Yellow Kill. There's no comparison."
"That's true, my bad for forgetting," Zuo Dao said, slightly embarrassed. "But you haven't been slacking off these past few days, have you?"
"Of course not." Chen Yang knew exactly what Zuo Dao was asking. Ever since Zuo Dao handed him the Cultivation Method, he hadn't wasted a moment and had been practicing diligently.
"That's good. Now go up there and give that arrogant pretty boy a good beating. I can't stand his expression. Who does he think he is?" Zuo Dao suddenly pointed at Xing Yun.
Both sides were taken aback, especially Xing Yun, who never expected to become the target.
"Boss, you can't do this!" Chen Yang exclaimed, looking at Xing Yun with a pained expression. The Golden Execution Squad was filled with elites; they were definitely not comparable to ordinary assassins like them, let alone their squad leader.
"Smack!"
Zuo Dao slapped Chen Yang on the back of his head.
"Do you have any backbone? You don't listen to the boss's first words? How can I recognize you as my subordinate?" Zuo Dao's words made everyone present twitch at the corners of their mouths. If someone didn't know better, they might think he was in the underworld, even bringing out his subordinates.
"Boss, you..." Chen Yang was stunned by Zuo Dao's slap and then looked at him in disbelief.
"What about me? Stop with the nonsense; it's just a matter of going or not," Zuo Dao interrupted Chen Yang harshly, completely ignoring Xing Yun's presence.
"Go? Why wouldn't I go? If I don't go, I'd be letting you down, boss." Chen Yang changed his earlier hesitation and spoke decisively. "I've never liked that pretty boy; I've been waiting for you to say something."
Xing Yun nearly spat out blood upon hearing this. Was he really so unpopular? Out of so many people, why did they pick on him? And that Yellow Kill across from him couldn't be more shameless!
Everyone could see Chen Yang's earlier timidity; they just didn't know what had caused him to suddenly change his tune after being slapped by Zuo Dao.
“Chen Yang, Dark Realm, Yellow-Level Assassin, you should know what happens to traitors,” Xing Kong stepped forward and addressed Chen Yang.
“Captain, everyone knows my identity, so there's no need for such details,” Chen Yang's words caused the members of Dark Realm to pause, glancing at Zuo Dao.
Who is this person? Knowing Chen Yang's identity and still daring to keep him around, now even calling him out to challenge Dark Realm—are they slapping us in the face or what?
“You don’t have to look at me; it’s not my fault. Who told me I had no one else around?” Zuo Dao shrugged, appearing unconcerned. “Look at this captain; he’s been fighting all the way here, his strength barely holding up. And then look at this beautiful lady—would you dare let her take action?”
Zuo Dao pointed at Yan Sui Fa and Zhao Yanwu among others. “Although I know you all are killers and don’t have such concerns, I’m a man! It just so happens that I’ve run into some trouble and can only let my younger brother take action. Is that wrong?”
Everyone was speechless, and Zhao Yanwu pinched Zuo Dao hard in the side.
Xing Yun suppressed his anger and stepped forward.
“If you want to die, I don’t mind. Just make your move quickly.”
Chen Yang was eager to try and was about to charge forward when Zuo Dao stopped him.
“What’s wrong, boss?” Chen Yang asked, feeling a bit frustrated.
“Nothing much. I see you don’t have any suitable treasures, so I’m preparing to give you a set,” Zuo Dao grinned as a tray appeared in his hand. “Take this; don’t let others force your brother into a fight without any benefits.”
Everyone looked over to see a neatly arranged set of clothing and two short swords on the tray.
As soon as Chen Yang took it, he felt overjoyed. “Thank you, boss.”
While speaking, he recognized the items as his own.
Once he donned the gear, an immediate transformation was evident; Chen Yang’s entire demeanor changed dramatically. Previously somewhat lewd in appearance, after changing clothes he exuded an air of ethereal grace with a hint of otherworldliness.
“Good stuff! Boss,” Chen Yang couldn’t help but puff out his chest. He felt enveloped by a warm current throughout his body, an indescribable comfort washing over him. More importantly, the celestial energy within him became more active; with the enhancement of the treasures, he swiftly broke through the first layer of his recently practiced Cultivation Method.
“What are you showing off for? Hurry up; can’t you see that guy’s pale face is turning red?” Zuo Dao’s words ignited even deeper anger among Xian Lan and the others, regardless of their usual composure.
"Slash." Before Chen Yang could steady himself, Xing Yun had already lost patience. He aimed to strike Chen Yang down from the clouds, wanting to severely embarrass Zuo Dao.
Although Chen Yang was also an assassin, he never expected that Xing Yun would attack him at this moment. After all, he was the captain of the Golden Punishment! Even without considering the Realm, his status was far superior to Chen Yang's. Yet, it was precisely this kind of person who had ambushed him.
Zuo Dao truly wanted to take action himself, but just as he was about to move, something unexpected happened within him. The four major seals that had just formed suddenly began to change. Subtle rays of light flickered within his body.
In what had been an empty Dantian, four large characters began to faintly appear.
Demon, Devil, Immortal, God.
These four characters firmly occupied the four corners of the Dantian, continuously radiating beams of light that gave the four seals a more three-dimensional appearance.
The emergence of these seals seemed to trigger something in Zuo Dao's mind. He decisively chose to hold back and let Chen Yang take the lead in battle. He had previously worried that Chen Yang wouldn't be able to adapt to the cultivation method he provided in time, but unexpectedly, Chen Yang had entered the initial stage within just a few days. This made the preparations he had made beforehand come in handy.
Although Xing Yun initiated a sneak attack, it did not cause much trouble for Chen Yang. As the energy approached him, a gentle light appeared around Chen Yang's body, stopping Xing Yun's attack before it could reach him.
"Is that a defensive Celestial Artifact!?" Xian Lan observed with uncertainty in her voice.
Xing Yun was also taken aback; he hadn't expected his attack to be so easily countered. He couldn't help but become more cautious. Although Chen Yang was a Yellow-Level Assassin, with the support of a magical artifact, he couldn't afford to underestimate him.
