Before leaving, Cao Cheng had already sent word to Yi Ran and Huang Huang that they could meet at the Alchemist Guild tomorrow to discuss the alchemy techniques with each other.
They didn't say they were giving advice but arguing with each other. This alone was enough to show that Cao Cheng valued the two of them.
The alchemist at the peak of the spiritual level was demonstrating the art of alchemy with two fifth-level alchemists. Normally, it would be a joke to both the spiritual-level seniors and the fifth-level juniors.
But today, these words came out of Cao Cheng's mouth very carefully and without the slightest hint of joking.
After Cao Cheng left, everyone at the banquet swarmed up again and pulled the eight people except Yiran and Huang Huang back to the banquet. They pushed the glasses and exchanged the wine with the medicine.
However, the two people who received the highest honor seemed to be forgotten in the corner. No one went to congratulate them or celebrate them, as if they were the losers in the Alchemist Competition.
The two walked out of the arena together, and Yiran asked Huang Huang curiously: "Your attitude towards me seems a bit strange. I have met many geniuses, but those like you are still rare."
Huang Huang smiled, rubbed the back of his head and said with a naive smile, "Really? In fact, there are quite a few geniuses like me, so there is nothing to be proud of. On the contrary, we should work harder."
Huang Huang's handsome face coupled with his innocent smile was not only not weird at all, but actually made Yiran feel closer to him.
However, Huang Huang's words, "There are still many geniuses like me," still shocked Yiran's heart.
The two of them traveled together for several miles again and talked about a lot of interesting things they encountered during their travels, but they didn't talk about the art of alchemy at all.
The originally lively Yi Nao suddenly became deserted. Only the candles in the red lanterns swayed in the breeze on the dark streets.
Yiran felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, and he immediately expanded his perception to the maximum.
On the roof of an attic five hundred feet away, there was a man dressed in black, facing his direction, with a cold murderous intent emitting from his body.
Although he is not a magician, he can accurately control his own movements from a distance of five hundred feet, and half a mile is already the limit of distance that the peak magician can perceive with his mental power.
In other words, the assassin was deliberately in this position so that he and Huang Huang could not detect him, and he was not in a hurry to take action.
At this moment, Huang Huang turned sideways and smiled at Yiran:
"Brother Yi, why don't we say goodbye and meet again at the Alchemist Guild tomorrow? I have many questions that have been suppressed in my heart, and I hope you can give me answers."
Yiran looked at Huang Huang's side face, feeling a little confused in his heart. Could it be that Huang Huang could also feel the assassin five hundred feet away?
The moment Yiran nodded and said yes, Huo Ling appeared on Huang Huang's body.
Different from the Alchemist Competition, the Fire Spirit at this moment was only two feet tall, covering Huang Huang's body like armor, and a pair of bright red elemental wings appeared behind the Fire Spirit.
Huang Huang didn't look back, waved his hand to Yiran and said, "Then brother will take the first step."
Seeing Huang Huang's posture, Yiran also understood that Huang Huang must have sensed the crisis, so he nodded gently, and stopped and watched Huang Huang leave.
There are some doubts in my heart. Is there any danger other than the assassin?
Just after Huang Huang walked more than ten feet, the Fire Spirit's wings suddenly flapped, and the scorching heat caused ripple-like fluctuations in the space.
Yiran frowned and finally discovered the problem.
Huang Huang's cultivation level means that he has just entered the Great Mage, and with the addition of the Earth-level Fire Spirit Demon Mansion, his strength is definitely strong among the younger generation, but it will never cause ripples in the space.
Then the only explanation is that there are formations in that space, and formations that can escape Yiran's perception are definitely formations intentionally targeting the magician's mental power.
Moreover, Yiran was able to detect the senses, which means that this formation is very small, so small that it is just to cover up the assassin's own existence.
At the moment when the space fluctuated, a hand suddenly appeared and punched the fire spirit's wings.
At this critical moment, Huang Huang applied to block his wings with his right hand and made a powerful and heavy punch.
For an ordinary magician, it would undoubtedly be a fantasy to block a martial artist's full blow at such a close range, even if the martial artist did not use martial arts and only attacked with physical strength.
Being able to do this is only because Huang Huang has a special spiritual mansion and a powerful fire spirit.
When Huang Huang took action, Huo Ling took action. Rather than Huang Huang taking action to stop the assassin's attack, it was better to say that Huo Ling protected himself.
But in just this moment, his control over the fire spirit was fully demonstrated.
Without using any magic, Huang Huang directly grabbed the assassin's fist and pulled him out of the formation. At the same time, he flapped his wings and took the assassin out quickly.
However, what Yiran didn't expect was that at this moment, two more figures jumped out of the formation and attacked Huang Huang at the same time.
Seeing Huang Huang facing three great martial arts masters at the same time, he fought anxiously with them and gradually became at a disadvantage.
Yiran was about to take action when he saw Huang Huang smiling at him, and a message in his mind said: "Take the first step."
Immediately, Huo Ling, a two-foot-tall fire spirit, shrunk by half and turned into gauze covering his whole body. Huang Huang's aura suddenly increased, and six clusters of flames appeared on his side, spinning around his body.
The six clusters of flames were like six miniature fire spirits. Even an assassin with the strength of the Great Wuzong could not disperse the flames with one blow.
Even in the remote areas of Linjiang City, the three great martial arts masters did not dare to use powerful martial arts to kill Huang Huang and the two of them, and could only choose to use extremely costly formations for sneak attacks.
Because once the fluctuations of the battle are noticed by nearby strong men, they will definitely not escape death.
But they never imagined that a formation specially designed to suppress mental power exploration would be discovered by a young junior.
What they didn't expect was that this young man could fight against three of them one against three and not lose for the time being.
As long as they were held back for a little while, the assassins would die when the strong men from Linjiang City arrived, but Huang Huang was unwilling to fight here and prepared to lure the three of them away.
Because it seemed like he was holding back three assassins. In fact, even if one of the three assassins went out to kill Yiran, the two of them could still hold him back.
No matter how much Huang Huang thought highly of Yiran, he still didn't believe that at his age, Yiran could have such attainments in alchemy and at the same time possess strong combat power.
Although Huang Huang himself said, "There are still many geniuses like him," but that was for a large force, a continent or even an entire empire.
And there should be another sentence at the end, that is, there are not that many geniuses who can surpass him.
Therefore, Ren Huanghuang would never understand that Yiran, a guy who was nearly ten years younger than him, was actually very capable in combat.
Therefore, in order to protect his chance of breakthrough in alchemy, he must contain all assassins.
He understood that he had no chance of killing three opponents whose cultivation levels were higher than his own, but he could still do it if they were evenly matched.
But he, Huang Huang, wanted to show weakness to the enemy and make the assassins feel that they could kill him if they worked harder, so that the three of them would forget that there was a young man over there.
It can be said that in order to protect Yiran's "opportunity", Huang Huang went to such lengths that no one could imagine, and it exceeded his own safety.
Huang Huang wanted to escape to a more remote place, and this naturally fulfilled the wishes of the three assassins.
When they reach a remote and uninhabited place, they don't have to tie their hands and feet.
At this moment, he can fight one against three, showing off his power, but it will be uncertain when the time comes.
But what Huang Huang didn't expect at all was that the assassins who attacked them were not one group of people, but two waves.
Not long after he left with the three assassins, the man in black who had been standing on the roof of the attic had already rushed towards Yiran.
Yiran looked at the direction Huang Huang was leaving. He was completely surprised at this Huang Huang who was always protecting him. He couldn't figure out what this guy was trying to do with him.
He has the alchemy skills inherited from his family and a talent that is unmatched by ordinary people. It can be said that his starting point is the end point that many people pursue throughout their lives.
The most important thing is that Huang Huang himself has worked very hard, otherwise he would not have achieved what he has achieved today. So what does such a proud man want from him?
What makes Yiran even more embarrassed is that people from "rich families" like Huang Huang usually seem to like to grab things they like when they see them.
Rather than sit down and negotiate, he seems to believe that his fist is stronger than the opponent's. However, Huang Huang makes Yiran feel very different. He does not behave like a son of aristocratic family at all.
Of course, this was because his knowledge limited Yiran's vision. Compared with his status as a son of aristocratic family members, he was first and foremost the son of two spiritual alchemists, and they had high hopes for him.
Secondly, he is also a direct relative of a big family and needs to be the future leader of the family.
It can be said that any young man from a family can be called a son of an aristocratic family, but which young man who takes the lead in the family can be called a son of an aristocratic family?
After watching Huang Huang leave, Yiran turned around after a long while and looked at the black-clothed killer who appeared twenty feet away behind him with a smile.
The killer's already violent body suddenly stopped. Looking at the young man's smile, an ominous premonition gradually arose in his heart.
He felt that the young man in front of him seemed to have noticed his arrival a long time ago, and deliberately turned to look at him at the moment when he was taking a breath and accumulating energy to disrupt his accumulating force.
But as a magician who has just participated in the Alchemist Competition, even if his mental power can detect his arrival, why can he capture the moment when the martial artist changes his breath?
It's just that the arrow has to be fired. It has already appeared. You can't just go through the motions and leave without doing anything.
Even if he wanted to leave, it was hard to say whether this strange young man would let him leave.
The black-clothed killer pulled out a dim fluorescent dagger from his cuff. The moment he lifted it up slightly, he rushed towards Yiran. The dim fluorescence of the dagger drew a beam of light in the darkness.
But before he could get out of the ten-foot distance, he was shocked to find out.
The guy opposite him, who had just won the first place in the Alchemist Competition, did not use his elemental wings to distance himself, nor did he use magic to stop his pace.
Instead, he just rushed towards him, even at a speed that was not slower than his own!
