“Baimian, although you are the eldest disciple of the Assassin Dynasty, you are ultimately not suited to be the helmsman!”
Jian Bei said directly, “Be at ease assisting Haotian, that is the most important thing.”
“Doesn’t the helmsman suspect that this Haotian is an imposter?”
Bai Mian Shu Sheng said directly, “I have never seen anyone with such exceptional talent in the Assassin Dynasty before. I suspect he is a spy sent by the Holy Land and will surely destroy the entire Assassin Dynasty!”
The many assassins of the Assassin Dynasty were startled by what they saw before them. If what Bai Mian Shu Sheng said was true, wouldn’t that mean big trouble?
“Do not speak nonsense here. He is the helmsman I have chosen, and no one can defy my choice!”
With a cold gaze, Jian Bei looked at the person before him, emanating a terrifying aura.
At this moment, Bai Mian Shu Sheng laughed heartily, “I see the helmsman knew this long ago but intentionally protected him. Since that is the case, there is no point in me saying anything further!”
Jian Bei did not say much. In fact, he had long suspected that Lu Fan might not be from their Assassin Dynasty. However, he had a special regard for Lu Fan. As long as Lu Fan was willing to stay, he was willing to hand over the entire branch of the Assassin Dynasty to him.
More importantly, Lu Fan now controlled a peerless divine weapon, which could lead the Assassin Dynasty to its peak. This was not an empty statement.
“Since this is the helmsman’s intention, why must Senior Brother be like this!”
Mu Dan said directly, “We should just do our best to assist him!”
“Master is biased!”
Bai Mian Shu Sheng chuckled, “Since that is the case, why should I stay here!”
After speaking, Bai Mian Shu Sheng prepared to leave, emanating a killing intent.
“If you feel your master is biased, you can compete with Haotian!”
Jian Bei said directly, “If you can defeat him, the position of helmsman will be yours!”
“Is that true?”
Bai Mian Shu Sheng turned abruptly. He had been in the branch for so long, how could he give up so easily? If there was an opportunity, he would never let it slip.
“This might not be appropriate!”
Lu Fan said with a hint of awkwardness. Although he had only recently broken through to the Saint realm, his overall strength was not low. If it really came to a fight, Bai Mian Shu Sheng might not be his match.
“What is inappropriate about it?”
Bai Mian Shu Sheng chuckled, “Are you afraid?”
“Why would I be afraid!”
Gui Ying chuckled, “Are you underestimating Haotian too much?”
“If that is the case, then let us fight. If I lose, I will be willing!”
Bai Mian Shu Sheng’s words were indifferent, his gaze fixed on Lu Fan.
“Alright!”
Lu Fan nodded slightly, “Since you insist on a fight, I will try with you!”
Bai Mian Shu Sheng showed joy and stepped towards Lu Fan, emanating a powerful killing intent. Today, on Lion Peak, if he was present, Lu Fan would not be.
He had paid a great price to become the helmsman and would not allow such a thing to happen.
Sensing the sharp killing intent, Lu Fan took a few steps back, his brow furrowed. Bai Mian Shu Sheng’s strength seemed to be above that of Gui Ying and Mu Dan.
Boom…
The two figures collided fiercely, causing a commotion and an unexpected outcome.
At the same time, Bai Mian Shu Sheng was forced back, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He had not expected Lu Fan’s physical body to be so formidable.
“We are all members of the branch, why must we harm our camaraderie!”
Gui Ying smiled faintly, “Senior Brother, you should just accept it. Haotian’s strength is evident to all, and you are definitely not his opponent!”
“Hmph, the outcome is not yet decided, it is too early to say!”
Bai Mian Shu Sheng snorted coldly, stepping forward again. Before anyone could react, he vanished into the void.
“Art of Returning to the West!”
Mu Dan’s brow furrowed slightly. Bai Mian Shu Sheng’s Art of Returning to the West was extremely powerful, capable of concealing one’s aura to the extreme, which was disadvantageous to Lu Fan.
“Master, will there be any trouble?” Gui Ying asked worriedly.
Bai Mian Shu Sheng had a killing intent towards Lu Fan. If he acted at this moment, it would surely be a catastrophe for Lu Fan.
“If he cannot even deal with Bai Mian, how can he assume the position of helmsman!”
Jian Bei said indifferently, with a confident expression, as if in his eyes, Lu Fan was sure to succeed.
After a long while, everyone discovered that Lu Fan had also vanished into the void.
The Art of Killing was not exclusive to Jian Bei; Lu Fan naturally knew it as well. Although Lu Fan had not cultivated the Art of Killing to perfection, it was certainly not something ordinary people could achieve.
Rumble…
In the void, sounds of clashes echoed, causing quite a stir, leaving everyone bewildered.
“Fighting in the void!”
Gui Ying asked doubtfully, “Is this how experts spar?”
Jian Bei stood by, quite satisfied. Whether it was Bai Mian Shu Sheng or Lu Fan.
Those who could master the Art of Returning to the West to its fullest would surely become true Kings in the future.
Boom…
With a loud bang, a figure shot out from the void. This person was Bai Mian Shu Sheng, covered in wounds, clearly no match for Lu Fan.
“Defeated, how is this possible!”
Bai Mian Shu Sheng looked incredulous. He had never imagined that he would be defeated so thoroughly.
At the same time, the others were also filled with suspicion. Bai Mian Shu Sheng, as the eldest disciple, was previously recognized as the strongest among the assassins. His defeat at Lu Fan’s hands now was beyond everyone’s expectations.
“It is normal to be defeated!”
Jian Bei spoke, “Although your talent is extraordinary, you are ultimately not of a special physique. How can you be his opponent!”
“Special physique?”
Everyone present looked puzzled. Lu Fan also trembled violently. He had not expected Jian Bei to see through him.
“As an ancient divine body, one is already invincible among peers!”
Jian Bei said softly, “Passing the position of helmsman to him is the best decision!”
“Ancient divine body?”
Gui Ying and Mu Dan were shocked. They had long heard that an ancient divine body had appeared in the Eastern Region, but they had not expected it to be Lu Fan.
“I didn’t expect the helmsman to know everything!”
Lu Fan showed a wry smile, but he was slightly wary in his heart, as his identity was now completely exposed.
“An ancient divine body is a great threat to the Holy Land, but for the Assassin Dynasty, it is a great boon!”
Jian Bei said seriously, “Once a true ancient divine body reaches completion, it can even contend with divine weapons. Such power is not something ordinary people can achieve!”
“Thank you for your recognition, Master!”
Lu Fan cupped his fists slightly, feeling a sense of gratitude towards Jian Bei.
He had indeed been pursued by people from the Holy Land before, but now, within the Assassin Dynasty, he would naturally not face such danger.
“I am not convinced!”
Bai Mian Shu Sheng shouted, “I will never let this matter go!”
After speaking, Bai Mian Shu Sheng turned abruptly, emanating a powerful aura, and left.
