Chapter 362: Dark Moon and High Wind, Killing Night

night.

It will not disappear because the world is different.

it.

It arrived silently.

The moonlight wasn't beautiful tonight; it was mostly obscured by dark clouds.

The Liu family residence appeared somewhat dim under the extremely faint moonlight.

Of course, this is only what it looks like from the outside.

The inside was still brightly lit.

Over the past two days, Gu Yun has explored every corner of the mansion according to Jin Zicheng's description.

He knew almost everything about this enormous mansion.

In the starless night sky, the chirping of insects and the barking of dogs could be heard. What was once a peaceful scene of thousands of lights shining in the homes was now filled with murderous intent, truly a dark and windy night for killing.

Although the wind was not strong, the moon was quite dark.

Having secured a geographical advantage, the advantage lies with me.

Gu Yun lurked in the shadows and quietly arrived at Liu Hongyu's personal residence. Although it was called a personal residence, it was in no way inferior in size to Lucifer's castle.

This is the treatment afforded to emperors.

Unfortunately.

The place is good.

He's not a good person.

I wonder what the conditions are for the Golden Emperor's Will, that would allow someone like him to become an emperor.

Perhaps it is because they have reached the pinnacle of this world and there is no possibility of further progress, leading to a decadent and dissolute lifestyle day after day.

In short, this person seems to have nothing else to do besides eating, drinking, and having fun every day.

Beneath this secluded paradise, heavily protected by array formations and barriers.

The old ancestor's role was probably just to keep things under control.

However, decades of undisturbed life caused him to gradually lose his original appearance.

Everyone has their own way of living, Gu Yun sighed, then his eyes flashed with cold light. As an assassin, one cannot judge a person by what one sees on the surface. Perhaps it is all a disguise, making people believe his cynicism. Therefore, Gu Yun will go all out.

Tonight, Liu Hongyu was playing and frolicking in the garden with a beautiful maid, completely unaware that death was about to befall him.

This is not his fault; the beings from the lower realms who could discover Gu Yun were probably not even born yet.

Gu Yun squinted at the ornaments in the back garden. Whether it was the artificial mountain or the trees, they all shone with a unique luster and were made of various metals. It was clear that they were made so that Liu Hongyu could use the Radiant Gold Emperor's Will in time if he wanted to fight.

now.

Gu Yun, lurking in the shadows, was like a cheetah, silently waiting for its prey to enter its hunting range.

As expected, a familiar figure came into Gu Yun's field of vision.

Liu Hongyu, the patriarch of the Liu family, was a middle-aged man dressed in a magnificent robe. It's not that patriarchs are necessarily white-haired and wrinkled. According to Jin Zicheng's description, Liu Hongyu was quite talented in cultivation. He remembered that he was only 150 years old when he entered the pseudo-innate realm. Now, several decades have passed, and he is only a little over 200 years old. Considering the lifespan of a pseudo-innate, he has only lived through about two-thirds of that time.

There's still plenty of time to squander.

Following Liu Hongyu was a rather beautiful woman, dressed in a light green dress, with a lithe figure and bright, watery eyes, like a lively elf.

Gu Yun didn't know who this woman was. All Gu Yun knew was that none of the women who had appeared in Liu Hongyu's backyard these past few days were the same.

The woman's laughter was crisp and melodious, making one feel weak all over, and Liu Hongyu chuckled lewdly along with it.

But to Gu Yun, it sounded like a symphony of death.

This will be the sound that bids farewell to Liu Hongyu.

"Mr. Liu, do I look beautiful?"

The woman in green smiled frivolously, her eyes curving into crescent moons, and twirled around, asking a question.

Liu Hongyu's lips curled up slightly, his eyes burning with desire. He domineeringly lifted Cui'er's chin and said without any hesitation, "If you weren't beautiful, would you still be here?"

"Hehehe, hurry up and wash up, let me taste you."

"Tonight will be another sleepless night."

A blush crept up the woman's cheeks, a hint of shyness and a barely perceptible panic flashed in her eyes, and she bit her red lips lightly as she whispered.

"That..."

"My father's illness..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Hongyu frowned slightly.

Do you think I'm a person who doesn't keep their word?

The woman waved her hands repeatedly.

"No, no, I'll go wash up right away..."

After saying that, he jogged back into the dimly lit house.

Liu Hongyu squinted, watching the disappearing green shadow before him, a sinister glint flashing across his eyes.

"Heh, let's talk about that after you survive tonight."

"No matter what your status is, you dare to make demands of me."

"but..."

"I heard you have a younger sister, tsk tsk, I really want to keep you here."

Liu Hongyu licked his lips, lost in thought.

Unaware that under the light of the lamps and the faint moonlight, the shadows on the ground were growing ever denser.

Gu Yunru was like a ghost.

And just like that, quietly, quietly, she appeared behind him.

His gaze was as sharp as a hawk's as he fixed it on Liu Hongyu.

quietly.

There was no breath.

The black clothes blended into the environment, with only two red lights flickering faintly.

step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

Gu Yun's every step was as light as a floating cloud, making no sound at all; the surrounding air seemed to be making way for him.

In fact, Gu Yun was still in a state of unease at this time.

Moving along the shadows, there was no sign of life.

Sudden.

Gu Yun's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Two red lines flashed across the sky.

The moment the White Soul Sword appeared in the moonlight, Gu Yun's aura also instantly broke free from the shadows and rose from the ground.

Liu Hongyu's ears twitched slightly, as if he sensed something was wrong.

But after years in a greenhouse, his edges had been worn down, and his sense of vigilance was frighteningly low.

Even if he knew something was wrong, he simply turned around.

"Crack! Bang!"

"Crack! Bang!"

The sounds, like shattering glass, pierced Liu Hongyu's ears like needles.

"Keng!"

Until that final, deafening clang of metal colliding.

It instantly pierced the silent night sky.

Liu Hongyu's expression changed drastically. This was his strongest trigger-based defensive magic treasure, while the previous ones were as fragile as foil in front of this purple-gold light blade.

"Who?!"

Followed by.

Liu Hongyu unconsciously met Gu Yun's gaze.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

The Heavenly Demon Emperor's Intent - Demonic Power surged into Liu Hongyu's consciousness like a tidal wave.

For a moment, Liu Hongyu felt his vision being invaded by darkness, and he felt as if he were seeing a god or demon, almost kneeling down.

this...?!

How can it be? !

Who is this person?

Why did you come to kill me?!

Liu Hongyu racked his brains but couldn't figure out who the Liu family had offended.

They've been behaving themselves for years.

"Buzzing."

The surrounding artificial hills and cycads began to creak.

Gu Yun knew that Liu Hongyu had begun to activate the Golden Emperor's Will.

As an emperor, it's not surprising that he carries some defensive magical treasures. However, ordinary magical treasures are of little use to him, but the one blocking his way is quite something.

This is a piece of parchment.

Gu Yun didn't think about why a piece of parchment could block his sure-kill sword strike.

Overthinking is a major taboo for assassins.

The opponent has already been afflicted by the demonic power.

Their strength has already been reduced, at most only 70% or 80% of what it used to be.

Furthermore, the element of surprise made it the perfect opportunity to finish off the opponent.
