Feng Xiange chuckled humorlessly and stood up shakily. His eyes were rolling back in his head as he said exasperatedly, "If the other party's ability was a notch higher, you'll have to go underground if you want to see me!"
Fear lingered in his heart.
'That was so close just now! '
'I feel like my life is already at the gates of the King of Hell, and I've only gone for a spin inside … '
Dugu Chou and the other two chuckled, knowing how perilous Feng Xiange had been just now. Hurrying forward to curry favor, Gu Chaliang took out a medicinal pill while Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou extended their hands in unison to help Feng Xiange heal.
After a while, Feng Xiange caught his breath and said, "Alright, alright. That's enough."
As he spoke, he struggled to retrieve a strange bamboo tube that was entirely white in color from his embrace.
Once the lid was opened, a small, snow-white snake slithered out and coiled itself around Feng Xiange's hand intimately.
The trio was shocked to realize that the snake had been snow-white when it crawled out, but when it came to Feng Xiange's hand, it turned into the same color as Feng Xiange's hand.
If they had seen it earlier, the trio might not have been able to tell that there was a snake on Feng Xiange's hand.
Feng Xiange fed the snake a tiny, white pill and placed it beside the blood stain that Liang Canghai had spat out.
The moment the little snake landed on the ground, the color of its body changed once again. In an instant, it became the same color as the ground. When it slowly crawled over and smelled the blood, its body returned to its snow-white color once again. It licked the blood.
Then, a red line seeped into the snake's snow-white body.
Then, the snake lifted its head and turned slowly, faster and faster. Finally, it headed towards the direction where Mr. Nian and Dugu Chou had left.
"Go," Feng Xiange said softly.
The small snake slowly crawled in a circle and suddenly jumped up. Then, it abruptly disappeared!
There was no trace of him at all!
The speed of its movement dumbfounded the three experts other than Feng Xiange, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"Is it done?"
"It's done!"
Feng Xiange was unperturbed. "My Xiao Bai has never failed in tracking in its life!"
…
The battle of the century outside Tiantang City was earth-shattering, but no one knew about it other than the six people involved.
The commotion caused by such a great battle was not small and the location of the battle was not too far away from Tiantang City. Skilled cultivators should have noticed it. However, there was a great battle taking place in Tiantang City as well and it had not stopped even when dawn broke.
As the only person who should have participated in the battle of the century but did not, Yun Yang had witnessed the entire battle in Tiantang City.
It was hard to say who would emerge victorious in this battle. The Four Seasons Tower's experts were almost all dead or injured, while the assassins had suffered even more casualties.
There was a thick layer of corpses on the ground.
In the end, the two legendary assassins, Hen Bieli and Hong Zhan, led the experts under their command and finally forced out all of the Four Seasons Tower's forces. The war then entered the most extreme stage.
Frost, Snow, and Sword, along with the Four Seasons Tower's nine Dao realm experts, charged out like ferocious tigers. Hong Zhan and Hen Bieli felt immense pressure and headache at the same time.
Based on individual cultivation base alone, the two of them, along with the four assistants from The Merciless Tower and Hall of Crimson Blade, could easily suppress any one of the Four Seasons Tower's twelve people. The assassins were not at a disadvantage when it came to the combination of their superior combat power.
In spite of this, the actual battle could not be calculated in such a manner. The Four Seasons Tower's twelve superior cultivators were the main force of attack; they did not focus on a single point but launched a one-on-one attack. The six experts on the assassins' side were caught in a difficult situation.
Both sides were well aware of each other's capabilities. When the Four Seasons Tower launched their final attack, six of the experts charged straight at Hen Bieli and the others. They did not seek to win, only to entangle the assassins and drag the battle on, leaving them with no time to spare.
Snow, Frost, and Sword, as well as the other three men, charged into the group of assassins and began a massacre. Flesh and blood splattered everywhere as blood flowed like a river.
With the cultivation base and capability of these six people, it was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, facing an assassin whose ability was at least a realm lower than theirs.
How could Hen Bieli not know what the other party was thinking? However, it was difficult to break out of this predicament in a hurry. Driven by his hatred, he let out a long howl and bellowed in rage, "Concourse of the Underworld! Are you all here just to watch the show this time? "
Initially, he had expected that once he spoke, he would be admitting defeat to the Concourse of the Underworld and would even owe them a huge favor. In addition, the Concourse of the Underworld had a deep grudge with the Four Seasons Tower, so it was only right for them to lend a helping hand. There was only a sliver of difference between victory and defeat. As long as a few of the Concourse of the Underworld's ten Court Yama Kings made a move and slightly restrain Sword, Frost, Snow, and the others, while the six of them killed their opponents as quickly as possible, they could wipe out all of the Four Seasons Tower's men while avoiding a large number of casualties on their side.
This was a method that was beneficial to both parties and themselves. The Concourse of the Underworld who had joined the battle could not have missed the crux of the matter. There was no reason for them not to do the same, especially now that they were the ones who had asked for help.
In spite of this, not only did he not receive any response, the ghastly fog that had been shrouding the sky had vanished swiftly after a while.
It had vanished!
Countless assassins had even forgotten to fight, their mouths agape in shock.
What … what kind of miracle was this?
Hen Bieli and Hong Zhan could only feel a chill in their hearts as they witnessed the turn of events. The rage of being deceived and betrayed rose like a raging fire!
The Concourse of the Underworld had come, but they had stood them up at this delicate juncture!
It turned out that they had never intended to make a move. They were only here to watch the show, to watch the fight from the sidelines and reap the rewards!
Realizing this, both of them were so enraged that they almost exploded on the spot. As the new generation of legends and legends in the world of assassins, when had they ever been toyed with so miserably in their lives?
Amidst their agitation, the Four Seasons Tower's experts had seized the opportunity to pry into their flaws, putting them in a perilous situation.
Both of them were experts of this world, after all. They quickly composed themselves and steadied their footing. Their cultivation base was more than a level higher than their opponents'. Otherwise, the instant of agitation just now would have turned the tables. Now that they had calmed down, they swiftly regained the upper hand.
Their opponents were vigilant as well, changing their battle tactics back to their previous strategy of dragging the fight out. They would not fight the two of them head-on.
Hen Bieli's thoughts raced as he came to a sudden realization. The Concourse of the Underworld's refusal to join the battle was in their best interest. The Concourse of the Underworld had been dealt a heavy blow by the Four Seasons Tower previously, leaving less than a tenth of its original strength. It was already on the decline; the title of the top assassin organization was no longer true.
On the other hand, The Merciless Tower was the second largest assassin organization after the Concourse of the Underworld. This time, they had issued the ultimate token of the assassin world, the Dictum of Death. If they achieved a great victory in this ambush against the Four Seasons Tower, not only would the ranking of the assassin organizations be rewritten, it would also be a question whether the Concourse of the Underworld could still be ranked among the top assassin organizations!
