# Chapter 1113: Emperor-Slaying Alliance and the Watcher
"Up!" The crowd's bodies rose into the air, all rushing out of the wine tavern, wanting to see how things would end. However, that assassin, having failed in his strike, immediately fled. His speed was extremely fast, and it seemed Lin Feng would be unable to catch up.
After Lin Feng rushed out of the wine tavern, his icy gaze firmly locked onto the target. Releasing his Wind Will, his body drifted like the wind. His feet stepped with the Carefree Step Art, mysterious and profound, his speed terrifying. He moved like a leaf carried by the wind, vanishing in a flash.
"Hum!" A sudden wave of illusory energy appeared in the void, causing Lin Feng's body to tense up. Another terrifying sense of crisis descended upon him.
Raising his head, his killing intent was as sharp as a sword in his eyes. There, within the illusory space, a person suddenly appeared, along with a sword—a dazzling sword that stung the eyes, impossible to keep open. This sword was also a killing sword: fast, precise, ruthless, with no unnecessary flourishes, existing only to kill. As the sword thrust out, it was like a celestial being descending from beyond the heavens.
"This isn't just one person—it's an assassin alliance!" The crowd's hearts trembled. The first person's sure-kill sword in the tavern had failed, and now another terrifying sword had struck out. They didn't know which terrifying force this was. Of the assassin alliances in the Eight Wastelands Realm, only the disciples of the Assassin Emperor seemed to remain.
However, the Assassin Emperor's sect had many shadow assassins. Neither of these two were from there, yet their power was in no way inferior to the Assassin Emperor's disciples. It seemed another terrifying assassin force was rising, claiming lives.
Lin Feng looked at the sword descending from the heavens, his eyes cold enough to pierce bone.
"There won't be a second chance!" Lin Feng spat out a voice. With a furious roar, demonic intent surged wildly, as if demonic beasts were howling, charging toward the opponent. At the same time, Lin Feng's palm shot out, transforming into a terrifying golden color, directly striking the opponent's sword. The golden arm was so strong that even the sword could not break through.
"Kill!" Lin Feng roared again, shaking the opponent's body violently. But Lin Feng's left palm struck out, a massive golden hand grabbing toward the void, firmly locking onto the opponent with no escape possible.
The opponent wanted to retreat, but Lin Feng would not give him a chance to survive. The golden hand grabbed hold, able to trap him only for an instant, but for Lin Feng, that was enough.
"Man and Sword as One!" A voice of extreme coldness spat out. Lin Feng's entire body transformed into a sword, charging into the clouds, passing through the opponent's body. In an instant, the assassin's body split apart, completely torn apart by the terrifying sword qi, dead beyond death.
The assassin in the distance saw his companion killed in an instant, unable to wait for him to join the attack, and immediately turned to flee.
"Still trying to escape!" Lin Feng snorted coldly. He sealed the wound on his shoulder, stopping the blood flow. With Wind Will plus the Carefree Step Art, he vanished in a flash, pursuing the opponent. In just a moment, Lin Feng's body caught up.
"Hum!" Just as Lin Feng was about to catch up, the man instantly turned, his palm transforming into a sword, thrusting straight at Lin Feng's throat.
"Die!" Lin Feng struck out with his palm, turning it golden. The vast momentum of heaven and earth trembled along with his palm, like heavenly thunder exploding in the void.
"Crack!"
Lin Feng's strength was incredibly fierce, coupled with the terrifying power of the Heavenly Derivation Saint Art, it was unstoppable. The opponent's techniques shattered inch by inch, continuous screams ringing out. Finally, Lin Feng's palm directly struck the top of the opponent's head, splitting his skull open. Dead!
"So domineering!" The crowd's expressions stiffened. After being injured, Lin Feng ignored his wounds and killed two people in succession, utterly overbearing.
"This guy's cultivation is only at the Fifth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm, but his combat power far exceeds his cultivation level."
"His speed is terrifying. Even those at the Sixth Layer or Seventh Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm might not be faster than him. He's quicker than the assassins."
The crowd sighed inwardly. The two assassins' greatest strength lay in their killing techniques—unpredictable, impossible to guard against, just like that first sword, a sure-kill strike. But once their killing techniques were broken, their actual combat power wasn't that terrifying, and Lin Feng killed them with overbearing force.
"Are they the assassins from that night?" Lin Feng murmured to himself. He had only offended two groups of assassins. In the Trial Ground, he had killed some Shadow Assassins. Outside, there was that night when he coincidentally met Xue Biyao and killed several assassins. If these were indeed companions from that night, then the force that wanted to capture Xue Biyao would be terrifying. They had even investigated his background and deliberately sent two assassins to kill him.
Fortunately, they hadn't taken him seriously enough. The two assassins they sent, though possessing terrifying killing techniques, weren't strong enough themselves, so they failed. Otherwise, that sword in the tavern might have truly taken his life. Even now, thinking back to that scene, Lin Feng still felt a chill running down his spine. That moment had been far too dangerous.
Lin Feng suddenly understood Mu Chen's words even better. Even if you live a plain life, you can still face the threat of death at any time, let alone if you want to soar above the clouds and break through this world. It was hard to imagine how many people would be watching you. Without trampling on the bones of geniuses and powerhouses, how could one reach the pinnacle?
"Drip, drip, drip..." In the quiet space, crisp footsteps suddenly sounded. These footsteps seemed to contain a special rhythm, trembling into people's hearts.
The crowd was unconsciously drawn by this peculiar rhythm. They raised their heads and saw a figure walking slowly from afar. His steps seemed very slow, yet the crowd found that he had already entered their field of vision without them noticing. This person wore a windbreaker, a bamboo hat on his head, the brim of the hat even had black gauze, covering his face.
At this moment, his head was slightly lowered, but his steps were still so steady, with a peculiar melody that could unconsciously make people fall into it.
Just then, they saw a bow and arrow appear in his hand—a black bow, a black bowstring, ordinary and unremarkable. His fair hand placed the arrow on the bowstring, his steps shifting, bending over, raising his head. The black arrow actually emitted a deathly aura spreading outward.
"Hum!"
His hand released, and the black arrow shot through the air. There was no dazzling brilliance, no overwhelming momentum, only wisps of death intent spreading through the crowd's hearts, making everyone's hearts involuntarily tighten, deeply attracted by this arrow.
This seemingly unreasonable arrow shot directly into the void, aimed at the space above Lin Feng's head, leaving the crowd confused. But at that moment, a brilliant light curtain blossomed, the void exploded, startling the crowd.
When the arrow pierced a certain place in the void, that area of void actually exploded, and within it, a figure appeared.
"Illusion!"
The crowd's expressions stiffened. They had never imagined there was another person above Lin Feng's head. This person had been hiding within his own illusion, seemingly merged with the void, completely undetectable. But this arrow had directly broken through it.
That person was also greatly shocked and wanted to flee, but it was already too late. That fatal arrow was too fast, directly piercing his heart, nailing him dead in the void.
Lowering his head, looking at the person who had killed him, a deep hatred appeared in his eyes.
"Always remember, when the assassins of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance appear, there will always be one person hiding in the shadows, watching the outcome of this battle. Never an exception!"
The person wearing the bamboo hat put away his bow and arrow, his voice extremely calm, as if stating a truth. But his not-so-loud voice made the crowd's hearts tremble.
"Emperor-Slaying Alliance! The people of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance have been silent for so long, appearing again in the Eight Wastelands Realm!"
Great waves surged in the crowd's hearts. They hadn't expected to see this terrifying assassin alliance. The name of this assassin alliance was the Emperor-Slaying Alliance. To slay emperors, to slay Martial Emperors. This once-feared terrifying force existed specifically to kill Martial Emperor successors, those who might become Martial Emperors, and Martial Emperors themselves!
Slay emperors! Even Martial Emperors, they would slay!
This terrifying force had once stirred up a bloody storm in the Eight Wastelands Realm, but vanished overnight. There were many rumors about their disappearance, but the most widely accepted was that all the Martial Emperors of the Eight Wastelands Realm had united, carrying out an unprecedented encirclement, finding the Emperor-Slaying Alliance's lair, and wiping out this force, eliminating the threat.
But now, the Emperor-Slaying Alliance had reappeared in the Eight Wastelands Realm. What did this mean? Could it be that a great era was truly about to arrive, and the Emperor-Slaying Alliance wanted to hunt down those powerhouses with the potential to become Martial Emperors?
Lin Feng had been targeted by the Emperor-Slaying Alliance. He himself didn't know whether to feel honored or sorrowful.
When the crowd's gazes fell upon the person wearing the bamboo hat, the word "Watcher" involuntarily appeared in their minds!
Watcher! Those who guard geniuses qualified to prove their dao and become Martial Emperors, who guard future Martial Emperors. They were the natural enemies of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, born adversaries!
