Assassins!
Li Miaoling was stunned, “Why would there be assassins targeting us?”
Mo Qingmeng explained, “The thirteenth floor of shadow is a specter that specializes in wandering the dark world.
“They want to help people clear the obstacles in front of them. As long as they pay a sky-high price, they would dare to attack even a Sage Heaven Realm expert. No one wants to provoke them. They are a bunch of lunatics.”
The level of this assassin was not low. He was at least at the peak of the Reincarnation Realm.
From the golden badge on his chest, it could be seen that the assassins on the thirteenth floor of shadow were divided into several levels.
The sky and earth were black and yellow. They were arranged from high to low. The person in front of them was an earth grade assassin.
Mo Qingmeng looked at Yi Tianming in confusion. They were not related to the thirteenth floor of shadow. The only explanation was that this assassin was lured here by him.
Yi Tianming looked at the scrutinizing gazes of the few of them and immediately became anxious. “Why are all of you looking at me like that?
“Don’t tell me all of you think that I’m the one who lured this assassin here!”
Although he loved to fight and had come out this time to raise his realm, he had not done anything to provoke an assassin.
He was also feeling strange. He had just appeared and was ambushed by the assassin. He was really unlucky.
“You’re still trying to quibble. You just came out and then the assassin arrived. If it wasn’t you, who else could it be?!”
Li Miaoling felt that he was the most suspicious person and spoke carefully.
“It really wasn’t me. What can I say to make you believe it?!”
Yi Tianming said evasively.
He felt really wronged.
He had originally wanted to discuss the Dao with Ye Changge, but not only was he pulled from the void, but before he could even calm down, accusations were being thrown at him.
He could not help but sigh internally. Was it so difficult to raise one’s realm!?
Ye Changge waved his hand and said, “It’s not him!”
Everyone was stunned. They looked at Ye Changge in confusion, not knowing why he was so sure.
Yi Tianming was crying with gratitude at this moment.
As expected, this young man was very righteous.
Judging by the excited expression on his face, it seemed as if he was going to kneel on the ground in the next moment and bow three times.
When he was ten thousand miles away, his spiritual senses sensed the traces of the killer.
That was why he said that Yi Tianming would soon have someone to discuss the Dao with.
At that time, Yi Tianming had been with them all the time, so he had no time to contact the killer. Moreover, he had no motive to invite the killer.
In front of the White Dragon Carriage, the killer drew the long sword in his hand, and his whole body was surrounded by a murderous aura.
Abundant spiritual energy gathered on his blade. The void trembled and rumbled endlessly.
He stared at Ye Changge, who was in front of the carriage, and the murderous aura coming from his body became even denser.
Ye Changge caught this detail and understood in his heart that this person was actually coming for him.
He just did not know who the mastermind was!
It was impossible for it to be the Netherworld Elder!
He had already been emboldened by the downhill slope. It was impossible for him to summon an assassin, and it was even more impossible for it to be the Sunset Immortal Sect.
The only possibility was Bai Zimu, Mo Qingmeng’s fiancé.
It seemed that the possibility of him being here was even higher!
“Your opponent is here. Didn’t you want to discuss Dao? Now is the time to show your strength.”
Ye Changge made an inviting gesture.
What!
This was his opponent?
The corner of Yi Tianming’s mouth twitched twice as he suddenly thought of something.
Ye Changge actually knew beforehand that there was an assassin lying in wait to ambush them here. How did he know? One had to know that they were tens of thousands of miles away just now. Even the divine senses of a Sage Heaven Realm expert could not spread so far.
He felt more and more that Ye Changge’s entire person seemed to be wrapped in a dense fog, mysterious, vast, and profound.
However, this was not the time to be calculative. He directly walked forward and shouted at the assassin.
“Who gave you the courage to block my passage? Do you want to die?”
Hearing such arrogant words, the assassin was stunned and his expression became even gloomier.
“Cut the nonsense and give me your life!”
A gloomy voice sounded. The black-clothed assassin suddenly raised the long sword in his hand and slashed down with a shocking blade aura.
The void along the way was cut open by a sword and violent spatial turbulence poured down. Yi Tianming did not feel fear. Instead, he looked excited.
“Good timing!”
As he spoke, he struck out with a dense force originating from his palm, and over a thousand figures flew up, sealing off the space where the black-clothed man had attacked.
At the same time, he circulated the true essence in his body, and attacked the black-clothed man at once.
This palm technique was not considered profound, but its power could not be endured for very long. Very quickly, the black-clothed man was in a sorry state, and he suffered heavy injuries.
This black-clothed man was also very depressed. Originally, he had seen that Ye Changge’s cultivation was weak, and he looked like he was very easy to deal with.
Who knew that a person would suddenly appear midway through his mission? It was actually a cultivator who was proficient in movement techniques. He already regretted accepting such a mission.
Boom!
Yi Tianming’s battle techniques became fiercer and fiercer. Very quickly, the black-clothed man was unable to resist. Finally, a punch landed on his chest and sent him flying.
The black-clothed man fell to the ground and spat out large mouthfuls of blood. He only felt the qi and blood in his body tremble and no longer had the strength to fight.
He had failed!
Ye Changge and the others arrived and asked directly, “Who sent you here?”
The black-robed man shut his mouth and did not speak. In the profession of an assassin, it was a rule that one could not reveal his employer.
“Kill me!”
He said unyieldingly.
“Do you think that if you don’t say it, I won’t be able to do anything to you?!”
Ye Changge smiled slightly. On that hot summer day, this smile made the black-robed man’s heart freeze.
No matter how one looked at it, this smile made one’s hair stand on end.
Yi Tianming also felt goosebumps all over his body. His entire soul throbbed as an endless chill emerged from the bottom of his heart.
“You… What do you want to do!?”
When the black-clothed man saw Ye Changge extend his hand, his entire body instantly trembled.
At this moment, he was truly afraid.
Ye Changge did not stop. He placed his right hand on top of the assassin’s head. He slightly circulated his true essence, and a black devouring power instantly appeared on his palm.
“Great Dao Heavenly Devouring!”
This was a secret technique inherited from his physique. Not only could it devour heaven and earth and the true essence in a cultivator’s body, it could also devour the soul and obtain whatever he wanted.
However, this secret technique also had its limitations. One had to remain alive while being devoured in order for it to succeed.
“Ahhhh…”
The black-clothed man cried out in a series of miserable screams.
His voice resounded throughout the valley, startling the birds and beasts that filled the sky. The miserable screams made the hearts of the few people tremble.
They could see the black-clothed man quickly shrivel up, and the dense vital essence also weakened. Streams of spiritual qi followed his palm and were devoured by Ye Changge.
The black-clothed man felt the fear of death and hurriedly said, “I said, I said… let me go!”
In the face of death, even the most stubborn person would give up.
Even if all the vital essence in his body was exhausted and he became a cripple, at least he could still live. If he died, there would be nothing left.
But it was already too late.
Ye Changge’s expression was ice-cold. The devouring power in his hand continued, and soon, the figure of the man in black disappeared.
Only a black robe was left, and everyone immediately trembled.
As the breeze blew past, everyone felt a chill sweep through the depths of their souls.
They all sucked in a breath of cold air.
