Yang Qingxuan and the other four were shocked by the results of the investigation.
The cultivation bases of these five were hidden by a mysterious technique. Just like Hongyuan, if not for the murderous aura on their faces, one would have thought that they were ordinary people.
"There's no need to look. With your trash cultivation bases, you won't be able to see through us." One of them said coldly, "Are you going to kill yourselves and leave your corpses intact, or do you want us to do it?"
The disdain on their faces was as if they were looking at six corpses. Other than mockery, there was only coldness.
Yang Qingxuan suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, "You're from Bloodshed?"
One of them laughed coldly, "It doesn't matter whether we are or not."
Another chuckled, "Don't be so cruel. There's no harm in telling him. At least let him know who killed him. But we are from Bloodshed. Someone paid a high price for your life. It's that simple. Can you kill yourselves now? "
Yang Qingxuan asked, "Who wants to kill me?"
"Hehe, I can't reveal that. Hurry up and die. We're in a hurry. You've already wasted a lot of our time. This is immoral."
Yang Qingxuan asked again, "Then I'll pay more to kill the person who wants to kill me. Is that okay?"
"Sure, but we have to complete the mission of killing you first," one of them said.
Yang Qingxuan said coldly, "But I don't want to die."
One of the five who had been silent all this time finally couldn't hold it in and shouted, "What's the point of wasting our time talking to him? We can kill him with a raise of our hand."
That person put down his hand, and True Energy burst out of him. The space around him was distorted to the extreme, and his cultivation base was rising rapidly!
"Prime celestial!"
The faces of Yang Qingxuan and the others changed immediately. Every single one of them was a supreme celestial being!
His face was pale as paper, and he thought to himself, "This is troublesome!"
A single Prime celestial early stage Lei Yang was already enough to cause both sides to suffer heavy injuries. Considering that the five people before him were of similar strength, there was no way he could win against five Prime celestials at once.
"Who wants to kill me? Da Sheng? Ye Wusha? "Yang Qingxuan's mind raced as he blurted out," Was it Dasheng who paid to kill me? "
The man chuckled coldly. "My cultivation base is Prime celestial middle stage. Of the other four, two of them are Prime celestial middle stage while the other two are Prime celestial late stage. You have no chance of winning. There is no harm in telling you. It was Da Sheng from the Ferryman Organization who offered an extremely high condition. He wanted five of us, the Bloodshed Seven Evils, to take your life. To be honest, no matter how I look at you, you don't look like someone who is worth that price. To be able to make the five of us kill you is really a lifetime of glory. "
The moment the cultivation bases of the five were revealed, Yang Qingxuan and the other four's faces turned ashen. They almost fell into despair.
Furthermore, the name of the Bloodshed Seven Evils was a nightmarish name in the entire Black Sea. The leader of the Bloodshed Seven was also the leader of the Seven Evils. No wonder these five were so terrifying. They were actually five of the seven upper echelons of the Bloodshed Seven.
"Five sirs, please wait." Hongyuan, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke up. "I'm just a passer-by. I have nothing to do with the five of them. Can you let me go first?"
"No need. It's too troublesome to leave first. Go with them." The man chuckled coldly. His lips curled into a mocking smile as he stared at Hongyuan.
"Erm, but … the five of you are extremely powerful, and your price is not cheap. Plus, none of you are willing to pay for my life. Wouldn't it be a loss for the five of you to kill me for free?" Hongyuan said slowly.
"Erm, this …"
The five of them were stunned. They had not thought of this problem before.
One of them said, "Forget it. It's not like we've never made a loss before. Let's just treat it as a buy-one-get-one-free deal."
Another one said in disdain, "If you feel bad that we're losing money, you should just kill yourself. To be honest, killing a piece of trash like you is really beneath us."
Hongyuan waved his feather fan and smiled. "Alright. In order to not let the five of you suffer a loss, I'll just kill myself. I've cultivated a few mystic skills over the years, but I don't know which one to use. Oh right, I'll use my Thousand Feathers Flowing Cloud. "
Suddenly, the five's faces changed as they sensed danger.
Hongyuan had been standing there since the beginning. He did not sense anything wrong at all. But when he said the words' Thousand Feathers Flowing Cloud ', it was as if he had turned into a different person. His aura was so strong that it was as if he was facing an abyss.
"Not good! This kid is strong! "
The Prime celestial middle stage assassin exclaimed. The five's faces changed. This time, it wasn't just danger. The aura of death was descending upon them.
"Thousand Feathers Flowing Cloud!"
Hongyuan waved his feather fan and said calmly. Suddenly, the world around them became extremely quiet as white snow drifted down.
The snowflakes were as light as smoke, as pure as jade, and as white as silver. They turned from speckles to fluttering down from the sky, as if they were going to cleanse the earth.
"Not good! It's the White Feather Barrier! " One of them exclaimed. Only then did the others realize that it wasn't white snow that was falling down, but white feathers. They floated around the assassin like snow, causing a slight gust of wind.
"Chi! Chi! "
The white feathers seemed to be unstoppable as they cut through the protective barrier of the five, leaving wounds on their bodies.
"Not good! Who is this guy? Hurry up and do something, or we'll be in big trouble! " A Prime celestial late stage expert's face changed. He hurriedly took out a huge sword, which suddenly enlarged in the air. Countless green arcs flashed on the sword as he shouted and slashed at the white snow!
The other four people also attacked. One of them clenched his fists and shot out thousands of afterimages. It was like a layer of Fist Realm that scattered in all directions. One of them grabbed the air, and a gold and silver light gathered in his palm. It dragged a long tail and swept across the sky like a meteor. One of them roared loudly, and his body started to swell. A single horn appeared on his head. He was actually a member of the Sea Race. Another person opened his mouth and spouted a cloud of smoke. It turned out that the smoke turned into sharp blades and slashed toward the enemy.
The five of them made their moves at the same time. Terrifying energy fluctuations spread out above Yang Qingxuan and the others, blotting out the sun and distorting the space between the sea and the sky.
But all of a sudden, everything in the world seemed to slow down. Only the white feathers were moving faster and faster under the influence of the wind.
"Boom!"
The five of them joined forces and blasted the Thousand Feathers Flowing Cloud. The countless white feathers turned into a storm that sucked in all the attacks and compressed them.
"Boom! — — "
The storm rumbled continuously, and soon, screams of agony could be heard. One, two … all the way until there were five screams, and then the sound disappeared.
Hongyuan smiled and waved his feather fan gently, causing the storm to dissipate.
The world turned into snowflakes once more, and they drifted down.
Merely, a great amount of white feathers were stained with red blood. As for those five people, they had all disappeared into thin air. It was as if they had never existed.
Yang Qingxuan and the other four were dumbfounded. From the beginning till the end, the five of them had been standing on the gigantic ice block without moving a single inch. They could only watch the horrifying scene unfold before their very eyes. Not only that, the five of them were killed in the blink of an eye. It all felt surreal.
The white feathers fell into the sea and melted upon contact with the water. Peace returned to the world.
After a while, Zi Yuan exclaimed, "Where is he?"
Yang Qingxuan hurriedly looked to the other side of the ice, but Hongyuan was nowhere to be seen.
Suddenly, a hearty laugh boomed out from the sky. "Take this Thousand Feathers Flowing Cloud as payment for your information. Farewell, Azure Dragon Holy Spirit."
As he spoke, the sky darkened, as if some terrifying existence was riding on the clouds above the Nine Heavens.
A voice recited from a poem drifted into the distance between the sea and the sky. "What is life like? Should be like a swan treading on the snow and mud; Occasionally leaving a claw on the mud, the swan will count."
