"Sixth among the world's swordsmen, what arrogance …" Watching Bai Yixue leave, a guard muttered softly with a pout.
"I wonder what the first place is like?" Another person rolled his eyes.
"Look at this person's stance, he's just like the first." Another person craned his neck.
"Stop talking. It's his ability to be ranked sixth. Why aren't we ranked?"
Another person sighed. "Luckily, we're on the same side now. What's wrong with being a little more tolerant?"
"Big brother is right."
…
Were they really on the same side?
Bai Yixue strolled out of the inn, his eyes cold as he walked.
His heart was filled with resentment.
"This reputed one shall never gamble again for the rest of my life!"
Bai Yixue prayed in his heart.
Many people in Tiantang City knew that Bai Yixue had been following Han Sanhe around for the past few days. This person was Han Sanhe's personal guard. Seeing him walk over in his white robe, it was as if frost was descending on everyone's heads, causing them to move out of the way as soon as possible.
They could not help but look at this fellow curiously. Where was he going?
Why did it look like he was walking towards the palace?
However, Bai Yixue did not actually go to the palace. Instead, he walked to the front of a residence and stopped abruptly.
The residence in front of Bai Yixue was not small and it looked like it was newly built. It was probably because the mud used to build the walls was not completely dry yet.
This was the residence of Old Sir He, He Hanqing.
It had been some time since He Hanqing's residence had been charred by Yun Yang's fire. The construction on the surface had already been completed. It had only been three days since Sir He had moved back to his residence from his temporary residence to the time when he had temporarily stayed elsewhere.
He had not even warmed his seat yet.
Bai Yixue stood in front of the door, watching the inside coldly, not moving.
The people inside were also looking curiously at this unmoving fellow who had come out of nowhere.
What was wrong with this fellow? Was he mentally ill?
Why is he standing in front of our house and not moving? Is he envious of this wonderful residence?
Bai Yixue's right hand moved, gripping the hilt of his sword as he said faintly, "I'm sorry. I have to do this because of my superior's orders!"
Before he finished speaking, a snow-white sword light flashed like lightning in the night sky.
Shua!
Old Master He had just finished building the main gate, which had only been completed a few days ago, with a loud crash.
Immediately, smoke and dust filled the sky.
His white robes fluttered as Bai Yixue entered with his sword in hand. "Outsiders, move aside. Today, I will only take He Hanqing's life!"
This was what Yun Yang wanted him to do.
Yun Yang had requested to follow Han Sanhe for six days and ask Bai Yixue to assassinate He Hanqing after Han Sanhe had left, but Bai Yixue could not wait any longer.
"Hurry up and settle this matter. I'll leave immediately. From now on, I will never return to Tiantang City. "
Bai Yixue prayed in his heart.
"That bastard Young Master Yun, I never want to see him ever again!"
Therefore, Bai Yixue had come impatiently.
Moreover, he had openly and brazenly killed his way into He Hanqing's house in broad daylight.
How could the people inside actually move aside? A large group of guards charged over with angry roars.
Bai Yixue's expression was cold as a murderous glint flashed in his eyes. His sword light flashed rapidly, circling the entire yard like a lightning bolt. Cries of agony rang out incessantly as the guards who had charged out collapsed to the ground.
Many heads rolled like watermelons. Even if there were some survivors, they had broken limbs and were missing limbs.
Fresh blood flowed into a small river on the ground.
"He Hanqing!" Bai Yixue's howl shook the nine heavens. "Come out and accept your death! Why let so many innocent people lose their lives? The only person I want to kill is yourself! "
A cold, hard voice that sounded like clashing metal spoke faintly, "Did Han Sanhe ask you to come?"
Bai Yixue swung his sword in a circle, a bright radiance turning into a circle that shielded him within as he said faintly, "No! I kill whoever I want. Do I need to be instructed by someone else? "
The person sneered, "Bai Yixue, no matter who asked you to come, you shall die here today!"
Before he finished his words, a sharp gust of wind came whistling. The shadow of a large saber flashed in midair; the saber's light stretched a hundred feet long as it slashed down brilliantly.
"Shameless boasting." Surprise flashed in Bai Yixue's eyes, but the long sword in his hand parried and pushed lightly. With a flash of his body, he had already charged over. It was a forceful attack, a preemptive strike against the enemy!
Crack, crack, crack …
Both of them were locked in a melee.
Just as they were fighting fiercely, another person charged out from the side with a cold glint, aiming straight for Bai Yixue's back.
The attack came without a sound, like a phantom; it was so stealthy that one would not even know if he was dead.
Unexpectedly, Bai Yixue seemed to have eyes on his back. With a shake of the sword in his hand, he had already deflected the enemy's weapon behind him. Then, the sword light flashed again, enveloping the person who came after him in the sword light.
The battle between two people had turned into a three-man battle. Although Bai Yixue was fighting one against two, he was still calm and had the upper hand.
Then, another two cold glints came at him from the left and right.
Surprise flashed in Bai Yixue's eyes, but his sword light expanded once more, like a thousand-feet waterfall pouring down, enveloping the two people who had just charged out within the range of his sword light.
Although Bai Yixue had the battle under his control once again, the surprise in his heart had grown exponentially.
He Hanqing was only an old man from the Empire of Yutang. Even if he had some reputation, what did he do to have so many pinnacle experts as his guards?
This, this seems a little strange ….
Had he been tricked by that Young Master Yun again?
It was one thing for Bai Yixue to be puzzled, but he did not slack in his attacks. He was indeed worthy of the title of the world's sixth swordsman. His sword glinted with starlight, the cold glint was unstoppable as he suppressed all four of his opponents. They could only hold on strenuously under his sword, not losing.
However, the sky was suddenly covered by darkness as a strong and heavy sound of wind breaking came crashing down.
There was more?
Bai Yixue was truly shocked now. He finally felt that it was not that something was amiss, but that something was terribly amiss. What did that bastard ask me to do? Did I not say that I would only kill an old scholar?
Why did it feel like I had poked a hornet's nest?
Wasn't this place a little too dangerous?
A mere old scholar could actually have the protection of five pinnacle experts. Even a country's monarch could not compare to such a lineup!
However, no matter how surprised he was, he still had to deal with the incoming attack. Bai Yixue's sword light flashed, the tip of his sword pointing directly at the incoming weapon.
Puff!
With a flip, Bai Yixue retreated seventy feet, his face flushed.
The opponent's weapon was a gigantic sledgehammer. From the looks of it, it was at least seven or eight hundred kilograms in weight. He really didn't expect that the attack from the sky would be a sledgehammer. This time, he made a mistake in his prediction of the enemy and immediately suffered a great loss. His internal organs were also shaken and injured.
However, the person in front of him didn't have it easy either. He grunted and coughed up a mouthful of blood. His entire body was sent flying high into the air due to the violent recoil, and the large hammer looked even more shocking to the eye.
While the person wielding the hammer had successfully ambushed Bai Yixue and injured him, his cultivation base was much weaker than Bai Yixue's. The moment their weapons came into contact, the disparity in mystical Qi levels had caused him to be severely injured as well. The severity of his injury was even more severe than Bai Yixue's.
Being unexpectedly injured, Bai Yixue was in a hurry to recuperate and recover. He still had a strong opponent in his sights, so he dared not be injured. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden tremor from the ground. A pair of hands shot out from the ground and locked onto Bai Yixue's ankles like a pair of iron pincers, twisting them forcefully.
On the ground, the five people who had just been pushed back by Bai Yixue pounced towards him in five different directions, as if they did not care for their lives.
Bai Yixue was shocked, but he had no choice but to give it his all when his life was at stake. "Heh!" he exclaimed in a low voice.
It was as if a thousand mountains of ice and snow had exploded at the same time as a copious amount of cold air surged into the sky.
The sudden outburst was the limit of Bai Yixue's lifetime cultivation base.
The person who was underneath and had restrained Bai Yixue was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. He could no longer hold on to Bai Yixue's ankles with a pained grunt; his hands were torn apart, dripping with blood. A mouthful of blood spurted up from the ground, like a fountain of blood.
The five people who had attacked at the same time grunted at the same time, retreating involuntarily.
All of them paled.
Although Bai Yixue was unexpectedly injured and was restrained by the people on the ground, his actual ability was far above these six people. The result of his outburst was as expected; it was incredibly valiant.
However, Bai Yixue was not in a good state either. His ankles were bruised, and waves of excruciating pain came from his ankles from time to time. The outburst just now had also caused the mystical Qi he had used to suppress his injuries to burst as well; his internal injuries had worsened due to the strong impact.
Knowing that he was severely injured, Bai Yixue spun his sword and looked around, obviously wanting to break out of the encirclement quickly and leave this strange place of trouble.
Who would have thought that there would be two more silhouettes pouncing over fearlessly amidst the tumbling dust and smoke?
There were actually two more!?
What was more infuriating was that he had not even seen the face of the old scholar called He Hanqing after fighting for his life until now!
What the f * ck was going on?
The ground rumbled as if it had exploded again. It was the people who had charged out from underneath. Now, there were eight people attacking Bai Yixue at the same time.
Bai Yixue fought back with his sword with all his might, trying his best to keep himself from falling. However, the two injuries he had sustained were more than just one injury on top of another; he was gradually losing his strength.
The eight people's weapons consisted of sabers, swords, spears, hammers, whips, staffs, short swords, and a ribbon!
These eight different weapons were of different lengths and lengths, light and heavy, hard and soft, yet they worked together seamlessly and tacitly. The longer the fight went on, the more intricate it became. Bai Yixue could not help but grumble inwardly.
He had probably been tricked …
