Peerless Immortal God

Chapter 28- Three lives assassin

Chapter 28

They moved around for four days without finding anything about the three lives assassin. The canyon was huge, so the trio couldn't hope to search it completely even within a few months.

"Now what? This is no different from searching for a needle in a haystack" Yan Jian complained.

"We can't go on like this. I can hold on for four days more only." The lady muttered.

"If I was an assassin, where would I live in a windy Canyon?" Long feng thought out loud.

"That's easy. If I possessed the Wind calming jade I would live in the most pressured part of the Canyon, where others would think twice before going too." Yan Jian replied.

The lady's eyes brightened.
"We didn't search the depth of the Canyon, where the battle occurred years ago! The pressure there is twice as strong." Then she turned to Yan Jian. "You are not completely useless after all." She complemented.

Yan jian's face turned black. He glared at her, feeling helpless considering he was weaker than her, then he sighed. "I guess there are some freaks who would still head exactly to that part without thinking at all." He groaned. But considering he was tied to them and he couldn't abandon them to leave alone, he had no choice but to keep moving along.

"Where is the place? Let's go." Long feng hurriedly interrupted.

"Hmph!" Yan Jian snorted coldly and turned away resolutely.

"If we go this way and walk straight ahead. Maybe we could reach the center of the Canyon on time. The bad news is that if we go to the center of the Canyon where the pressure is stronger, I will only be able to protect you for two more days. We don't have enough time." The lady said.

"Don't worry about that. Let us complete the mission first. Other things can come after that." Long feng replied.

They headed in the direction the lady pointed out. They walked for hours, before Long feng felt the pressure increasing at a considerable speed. He knew instantly, that they were nearing the center of the Canyon.

A few more hours later, the pressure was almost unbearable to Yan Jian even after being protected by both the lady and Long Feng. Even Long feng was beginning to feel it. His footsteps were becoming heavier, as was his breathing.

"What is that!?" Yan Jian pointed out.
In front of them was some remains of a formerly small mountain. The mountain had collapsed. It seemed like it was forcefully razed to the ground by a powerful force. Where the mountain once stood, a medium sized palace had been built. The palace itself seemed to be on the verge of collapse due to the pressure around.

"This Mountain must have been destroyed during the battle." The lady muttered.

"What do we do now?" Yan Jian asked.
Suddenly, Long feng frowned and his gaze turned sharply to a said of the broken palace. His senses were far stronger than normal due to his soul power, and he could sense the presence of another person here.

"Well Well Well. It looks like I have some guests!" A slightly hoarse voice called out the broken palace.

"I didn't know, or i would have prepared a warm reception for you." the voice added.

Yan jian and the lady's guards were instantly raised up as they followed Long Feng's sight.

A middle aged man stood some distance away. He was dressed in half torn robes and looked like a beggar. Anyone who met him on the road wouldn't think much of him. But here, it was very abnormal.

"Three lives assassin!" The lady muttered slowly.

"Hahaha! You recognize me? How fascinating." the three lives assassin laughed. "Next time you're coming, in your next life that is, remember to let me know if your arrival. So I can prepare a welcome for you."
