I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 221: Yan Wushuang

Assassination!

The matter Han Zixun sought could not make Zhang Yuan waver in the slightest.

Back in the days with the Furious Whale Gang,

he had also carried out assassination missions.

And over the years, the number of people who died by Zhang Yuan’s hands were many; he never feared slaughter!

What truly piqued Zhang Yuan’s curiosity was just what kind of person required this carefree and uninhibited young master to go to such lengths, asking for his help to solve the problem.

"His name is Yan Wushuang."

When Han Zixun uttered the target’s name, his gaze suddenly turned fierce.

As if tearing off a mask of calm and gentility in an instant!

Yan Wushuang was a direct descendant of the Yan family from the Xia Ruins and was once recognized as a martial arts genius within the Ruins City.

He started learning martial arts at seven, entered Tier Four at fifteen, and mastered any martial arts with ease, excelling upon first practice, his martial arts talent extraordinary.

However, this genius turned out to be a beast in human skin!

The woman Han Zixun cherished the most died at the hands of Yan Wushuang.

And she was not the only victim!

Because Yan Wushuang’s numerous crimes incited public outrage, even the Yan family from the Xia Ruins could not shield him.

They were forced to flee and hide in the Great Dream Marsh.

As time passed, many had long forgotten this fleeting yet brilliant genius scion.

But Han Zixun never forgot!

"Zhao Yun, I know you need a Qi Entry Technique desperately."

Han Zixun stared intently at Zhang Yuan and said, "If you help me kill Yan Wushuang, I’ll give you five hundred Daoist merits, enabling you to exchange for a superior technique in the Inner Hall Daoist Vault!"

Zhang Yuan’s heart stirred at once.

Meeting his opponent’s eyes, he gravely asked, "Was it Daoist Xuan Cheng who told you?"

Zhang Yuan indeed needed martial arts techniques in the Qi Entry Realm very much.

The "Righteous Qi Technique" he currently practiced was not poor, but it was too mild, progressing at a snail’s pace.

Of course, Zhang Yuan could not complain, since this technique was a gift from Daoist Xuan Cheng.

It relieved his urgent need.

However, Zhang Yuan’s goal was to advance to Tier Seven within ten years.

Switching to a Qi Entry Technique was essential!

Besides Xuan Cheng, no one else knew about his situation.

Han Zixun calmly replied, "Xuan Cheng’s mundane surname is Han."

Zhang Yuan came to a realization.

The Tao divides into Yin and Yang, and those who enter the Tao can both sever worldly ties to adhere to the precepts and cultivate through the tribulations of the mundane world.

Some Daoists keep their mundane names, some even marry and have children, which is perfectly acceptable.

In Zhang Yuan’s impression, Daoist Xuan Cheng was quite the transcendent existence in the Celestial King Hall.

But he too could not completely sever familial and blood ties!

Han Zixun added another sentence: "He is my cousin and watched Wan Yun grow up."

Wan Yun being the woman who died at Yan Wushuang’s hands.

Zhang Yuan frowned slightly, "Why me?"

This was another perplexing matter for Zhang Yuan.

With Han Zixun’s status, connections, and wealth, he could easily hire someone more capable than himself.

Han Zixun smiled bitterly, "I sought others, all failed!"

Yan Wushuang not only had a high martial arts talent but also was extremely cunning by nature, coupled with special lightweight escape techniques, making him extremely difficult to deal with.

Over the past years, Han Zixun had hired many skilled experts to venture into the Great Dream Marsh.

The results were either failures or becoming trapped in the Land of Marsh.

One was even a Tier Five expert he had invited with great favors and resources, all in vain!

Zhang Yuan asked again, "Why me?"

The same question, asked again because the other party had not directly answered it before.

Since even Tier Five experts were helpless against Yan Wushuang, why did Han Zixun believe Zhang Yuan could succeed?

Han Zixun smiled bitterly, "It was Xuan Cheng who suggested trying you, he said you have luck with you, blessed by the Celestial King, perhaps capable of handling a prodigy like Yan Wushuang!"

"He also told me to show enough sincerity, thus..."

The grand banquet invitation tonight.

Zhang Yuan finally fully understood.

Han Zixun paused, continued, "Back then, not only did I participate in the siege against Yan Wushuang, but I also placed a Sealing Talisman on his Qi Sea Dantian."

The Sealing Talisman is a special high-tier talisman.

Its purpose is to seal a martial artist’s dantian, ensuring they can never condense Qi into Yuan, remaining at Tier Five!

Yan Wushuang reached Tier Four at fifteen.

Yet to this day, with ten years gone by, he remains at Tier Four.

This shows the power of the Sealing Talisman!

So Zhang Yuan need not worry that his target would be a higher tier than himself.

"As long as he can be killed, besides the five hundred Daoist merits..."

Han Zixun continued to up the ante: "I’ll give you three thousand taels of gold and an Outer Ruins Manor!"

What a generous offer!

Actually, Zhang Yuan was not very interested in the gold and manor.

But the Daoist merits to exchange for a superior Qi Entry technique truly hit his vital point!

Thinking for a moment, Zhang Yuan decided to take the deal.

"Forget about the gold and manor."

He thought about it and replied, "I want a Qi Entry realm lightweight body technique and also a month to prepare."

"You agreed?"

Han Zixun immediately showed delight: "No problem with the lightweight body technique, and no problem with a month!"

He had waited many years; naturally, one more month was no issue.

As for the lightweight body technique Zhang Yuan wanted, it clearly had a purpose, not a lion’s demand.

Oops!

Zhang Yuan nearly slapped his thigh—in turn, he underbid.

Judging by Han Zixun’s expression, he might have asked for more, perhaps by opening his mouth wider.

As if perceiving Zhang Yuan’s thoughts, Han Zixun, smiling, said again, "I forgot to mention, Brother Xuan Cheng asked me to tell you, solve Yan Wushuang, and the favor you owe him will be erased!"

This left Zhang Yuan with no words to say finally.

"So, this is settled then."

"Please get me the lightweight body technique manual as soon as possible. Also, I need to know the situation in the Great Dream Marsh."

The horses and wheels crossed the stone slabs of the Ruins City’s streets, echoing clearly in the silent night.

Han Zixun escorted Zhang Yuan to the door of his house, then took his leave.

Once home, the first thing Zhang Yuan did was tear the treasure map from his chest.

He stuck it to his lower abdomen, precisely to the Sea of Qi position!

During the way back,

Among Han Zixun’s words to Zhang Yuan, what moved him the most was the Sealing Talisman.

That such a malicious talisman exists in this world,

capable of forcibly cutting off a genius martial artist’s martial path.

Zhang Yuan had to guard against it!

His treasure map was impervious to water, fire, swords, and spears, exceptionally tough, almost miraculous.

Zhang Yuan used to wear it on his chest as a Heart-Protecting Mirror.

But now he felt protecting the Dantian was more important!

And the size of this treasure map not only perfectly covered his Sea of Qi region but even protected the navel.

Making him feel greatly at ease.
