Zhang Tianxing's gaze was somewhat complicated.
Even though he desperately wanted Zhang Yun to die here, wouldn't it be a great achievement if Zhang Yun died at the hands of the masked man in black?
"Young Master!"
"Master!"
Almost simultaneously, Ye Qianzhi and Zhuo Xinyan both shouted out. At this moment, they felt an unprecedented crisis. Their faces were filled with horror and worry for Zhang Yun. They were anxious but could do nothing.
It was simply because the masked man in black attacked too quickly and accurately, at too tricky angles, with too much strength and his techniques were too bizarre!
Facing the bloodthirsty scythe's imposing power, which seemed capable of startling even ghosts and gods, Zhang Yun's expression remained unchanged.
He simply used one hand to steadily protect Zhuo Xinyan and Ye Qianzhi behind him, and with a gentle wave of his other hand, a blazing white light suddenly shone.
In a short time, the deathly aura around him was dispelled, making the dark, night-like space as bright as day.
The dazzling white light spread out, instantly engulfing the gray skull phantom, making it disappear as if it had never existed.
"this……"
Upon witnessing this scene, Zhang Tianxing and the others gasped in shock, their jaws nearly dropping, their faces filled with disbelief.
They could clearly sense the terrifying power of the eerie gray skeleton wielded by the masked man in black. Even if all of them attacked together, they probably wouldn't be a match for that gray skeleton.
Zhang Yun easily defused the situation; what terrifying strength did he possess?
No wonder Zhang Yun never made a move from beginning to end. It seems that in his eyes, none of the people participating in this hunting competition are worthy of his attention!
Zhang Tianlun guessed that Zhang Yun's cultivation level had roughly exceeded the limit of the Tianyuan Realm.
In other words, Zhang Yun is very likely to possess the cultivation level of the Heavenly Gang Realm!
But how is that possible?
Zhang Yun is only a few years old, he seems to be much younger than me, right?
Moreover, during the first cultivation test, Zhang Yun's cultivation level was only at the fifth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm. How could it have suddenly increased so much?
Could it be that Zhang Yun has been deliberately concealing his cultivation level, deceiving even the Jianglan Holy Temple and everyone present?
What kind of incredible secret technique would be needed to do that?
At that moment, Zhang Tianlun suddenly felt that Zhang Yun was an enigma, impossible to understand.
If that's really the truth, then his actions just now were tantamount to courting death and dragging so many people down with him.
"No, impossible. Zhang Yun must have used some special method that just happened to counter the black-clad man's mysterious techniques."
Zhang Tianxing comforted himself in this way.
The more you face this situation, the more you need to stay calm. If your mind becomes chaotic, everything will collapse.
"Zhang Yun, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. You were even able to neutralize my long-planned killing blow."
The masked man in black was horrified. Zhang Yun actually possessed the ability to restrain himself, and his cultivation was subtly above his own. If he continued to entangle with him, he would definitely be the one to suffer.
However, the failure to kill in one strike does not mean that his assassination attempt was unsuccessful.
In fact, he succeeded!
His methods are not as simple as they appear on the surface.
Beneath the black cloth, a sinister smile curled at the corner of the man's mouth, his voice cold and tinged with sarcasm.
"Zhang Yun, Zhang Yun, your days are numbered. It is truly a pity for such a young hero like you."
Before he finished speaking, the masked man in black decisively chose to withdraw and retreat, refusing to engage in any pointless entanglement with Zhang Yun, demonstrating his professionalism as an assassin.
"Young Master, Sister Xinyan, how are you?"
Filled with worry, Ye Qianzhi rushed over immediately. Seeing Zhuo Xinyan's shoulder shrouded in a thick black mist, and the blood from the wound was also black, she looked at Zhang Yun with heartache and anxiety in her eyes. Then, the anger in her heart burned fiercely.
At this moment, Ye Qianzhi seemed to transform into a true witch, her eyes filled with overwhelming killing intent and hatred.
"You beast, I'm going to kill you!"
Enraged, Ye Qianzhi didn't care about anything else. All she knew was that the person who hurt the young master and Sister Xinyan had to pay with their life!

Chapter 245 Both Poisoned
The escape of the masked man in black, and the harsh words he uttered before leaving, made Zhang Yun suddenly feel uneasy.
Just as this thought arose in his mind, he saw an extremely thin wisp of black energy, like a small snake, coiling up directly from the soles of his feet!
Just then, Zhang Yun, who could have avoided the sneak attack, saw Ye Qianzhi rush out from beside him. Without thinking, Zhang Yun quickly grabbed Ye Qianzhi.
At the same time, the black, snake-like strands of air stuck directly to his feet like super glue.
Zhang Yun immediately felt a burning pain in his calf, which made him frown slightly.
If he's not mistaken, this wisp of black gas most likely contains a deadly poison.
In other words, two of the three of them—he, Ye Qianzhi, and Zhuo Xinyan—have already been poisoned.
