Dual Cultivation God Returns-Chapter 93 Night Raid

On the next day, Wu Long saw general Feng again. It seems he has calmed down from yesterday, and has come to talk this time, without any entourage, and without causing a ruckus. They sat in the teahouse, and as the servant who served them tea left, General Feng deeply lowered his head.

"I have disrespected a great Spear Master. I have eyes but have not recognized mount Tai"

Shivers went through Wu Long when he heard General Feng say another one of the "classic" phrases of the cultivation world.

"It's fine. So, why are you here?"

'This man really is old-fashioned, I best keep away from him as he is starting to give me goosebumps'

Wu Long thought to himself while waving his hand and asking General Feng about the purpose of his visit. The latter then raised his head.

"First to apologize in not recognizing an expert such as your esteemed sel-… Ahem, and second, to ask what may be your intentions towards this general's daughter. This little one may be incompetent as a spear wielder and a father, but she is still the precious daughter raised with great care…"

Wu Long waived his hand when General Feng first started speaking to get past his apology, and then waved it again to stop this man's speech that made him cringe so much that it started not amusing him but genuinely make him slightly uncomfortable.

"Your daughter is my woman now, and I will take responsibility of caring for her"

He said, as Feng Yi who sat not far blushed slightly at his words. She was not a doll whose father could decide and talk for her, so she naturally followed to participate in this conversation. She was still in shock that her father lost to Wu Long, and flabbergasted to see his subservient attitude, but Wu Long's words brought her back from her daze.

"I can care for myself you know"

She said, not completely willing to give all the initiative to him.

"Of course, I am merely saying that I will be taking responsibility to make you happy as a man, not that I will be supervising anything about you or your life"

He smiled at her, making her nod with satisfaction at this answer.

"I was originally planning on offering you to follow me to my sect, but after knowing you for a little more I realize that you have deep loyalty to this country and its people, so I am postponing that for now, since it will gradually become easy for me to visit you whenever possible, in other words quite often as my traveling speed and methods improve. But there will come a time I will offer you to go with me, as I will need to travel very very far away, so far it may be hard to return after"

He then added, dumbfounding them both. He wanted to take her away, but it was not like it was so easy for her to abandon her life here, family and country in a short time, since there were ties to this place that she held from her earliest childhood. She had her own goals and aspirations, and her own will, so he could not simply decide for her. He summoned Ye Ling from the sect to pick up mainly Luo Mingyu, as he was certain that she would choose to follow him. But even she would need to visit her family from time to time.

He was now becoming aware that he might need to think out a plan for how he is going to stay with all of his women who all had their own lives despite needing to travel far into the Seven Boundless Worlds. It may be premature to make such thoughts, as he was not even sure it will happen soon, but he preferred to plan ahead in this case, since it was important to him that they are always where he can reach them.

He did not have such problems in the past, since he mainly pursued fleeting relationships, instinctively avoiding committed ones. There are only a handful he officially considered his women currently residing in the Seven Boundless Worlds out of millions of women he has been with in the past. So it was very unusual to say the least, for Wu Long to make many committed relationships he was making now, as he was very guarded in that regard in the past.

—

In the evening, Wu Long sat in his room, getting ready for sleep, when he suddenly felt something, and went out of his small house, looking in a certain direction.

Six figures approached from the shadows there, and soon Wu Long saw men clad in black tight clothes, with silver demon face masks and thin swords on their backs. They were surprised to see Wu Long already waiting for them as he was already holding his Guandao spear in a reclining comfortable position.

Wu Long made a step and there appeared seven afterimages following closely behind him one slightly overlapping over another. This was 'Seven Profound Steps' movement technique which he liked to use when his cultivaition was lower in his past life. This time he did not use the 'Bahshi Ghost Step' as the last interaction with them made him more cautious, he did not want one of them to escape and report that he used their secret technique so that the whole organization would be chasing him down. 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡．𝙣𝒆𝙩

"Nine Orchids Spear Art, first form, Late Bloom"

Wu Long went into their midst and nine spear images appeared around him, moving in unison but different trajectories. The eyes of the masked assassins widened at such a high level Spiritual Spear Art.

They immediately reacted, as someone dodged and someone blocked, but to their surprise the spear images went through their blades without any collision, and as their swords passed through without any resistance they went past the point of presumed contact. At that moment, invisible spear blades passed through the same trajectory the spear images passed and all four who supposedly blocked the attacks were struck, losing their lives.

The other two who dodged were appalled at the scene and tried to take distance to regroup but Wu Long's hand that was free grabbed one of the thin swords from a fallen assassin immediately after his demise.

"Heaven Transcending Lotus, second form, Lotus in the Rain"

A vision of billions of swords unfolding in a brilliant lotus flower appeared, centered around Wu Long, and then, thin strips of light, akin to shining raindrops, started falling at high speed all around? and tiny holes appeared in the ground where they landed. The whole scene from the side looked as if rain was falling around a resplendent lotus.

As the vision disappeared, the two figures left standing, that were now riddled with bloody holes fell to the ground. The snow around the area was dyed red, as six bodies rapidly became cold.

But Wu Long only looked in the direction they came from, as there were 36 more shadows moving in this direction.

"This is a little troublesome, these are all Revolving Qi Realm Bahshi Assassins, the level of skill is a lot lower than the three I met in the Imperial Capital, but that does not mean I can cut them like cabbages'

Wu Long thought as he watched them approach. He was a lot stronger than he was back when he fought the three elite assassins in the Imperial Capital, and these were apparently lower in rank, as their skills were far worse, but these were still Bahshi Assassination Group Revolving Qi Realm practitioners. If it were this world's Revolving Qi Realm practitioners, Wu Long could take on thousands of them, but not these who practiced fairly good skills and techniques. The level of inheritance was that vastly different. He was not worried about the 36 he was seeing, he was worried about them gradually intensifying their pursuit.

Wu Long did not give them time to start reacting to the demise of the advance team, and made his move, as nine Guandao spear images appeared around him again.

The area filled with sounds of sword strikes as other bodyguards hired by the Luo family who all lived in this vicinity started to come out of their small houses, and were immediately slain by the assassins when they tried to join in.

As Wu Long killed the thenth of the newly arrived assassins a new figure appeared on the scene.

'Foundation Building Realm!'

Wu Long saw that masked man and his eyes narrowed. Now it really was troublesome, he would need to go all out against this one.

As the remaining assassins surrounded him, the area turned silent for some time.

*Clank!*

Sparks exploded into existence in front of Wu Long as the Sword Qi of the Foundation Building Assassin made a thunderous strike colliding with Wu Long's Sword Qi.

'Hoooh~, no wonder they said we need to go all out, you really are tough'

The masked man said with some appreciation.

Wu Long did not reply, only slightly adjusting the position his foot was in, making a squeaking sound of snow wet with blood.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole and he looked in another direction, where a figure appeared like a ghost from black smoke.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?"

An amused female voice resounded, and a shiver went through all of the assassins.
