In the next moment, he roared, Divine Will reappeared like a saber. The saber light shone brightly, forcing everyone to take at least a step back. Then, he reached into his robe and pulled out a porcelain bottle. He crushed it, and a few medicinal pills flew into his mouth.
Yun Yang's action was only right; no one could tell if he had any ulterior motives. Facing the siege of many top-notch cultivators whose cultivation base was higher than his, it was a wise move to keep himself in peak condition. Of course, he had to consume the good medicine, so he had to consume it quickly.
However, he seemed to have exerted a little too much force in his haste.
Therefore, a tattered Go playbook flew out from his robe and landed on the battlefield.
The Go playbook seemed to be very old, as if it would shatter with the slightest force. How could it be lucky enough to fall into such a battlefield where the mystical Qi was so strong?
Just a casual gust of wind was enough to shatter his body and shatter his bones.
Yun Yang did not care, of course. His only goal was to probe.
Furthermore, the original owner of the playbook was not him and he did not really like playing Go. It would be enough if the playbook could trigger an unexpected change here …
However, the moment the playbook appeared, the person who was closest to Yun Yang and the playbook was about to hit Yun Yang with a strike of his staff. However, the impact of the strike would definitely affect the playbook, causing it to deviate inexplicably and miss its target.
Yun Yang was delighted. Extending his saber from under the falling playbook, he chased after the man.
Seeing that the saber was swift and difficult to evade, the person did not fight it head-on. Instead, he took a step back and avoided the strike by a hair's breadth.
Under everyone's gaze, the Go playbook tumbled down. Yun Yang exclaimed in shock, "My playbook!"
He then pounced forward as if he was going to grab it and return it to his robe.
With a swoosh, a golden blade sliced through the air, and a dazzling sword light suddenly flashed. A sword slashed through the air, and the rolling chess record was picked up by a stick and flew out with a whoosh.
The masked man in black who was watching from the sidelines sprung up and grabbed the playbook, turning it over before stuffing it into his robe.
Yun Yang was enraged. "Are you all trash collectors? You even want to snatch a Go manual! "
The masked man in black said coldly, "When you're dead, we'll take everything you have!"
Yun Yang said coldly, "Just you wait. I've poisoned the Go manual anyway. You're dead meat if you touch it!"
Yun Yang was spouting nonsense, but he had already made up his mind.
These people were indeed Sir Bi's men!
Sir Bi's research in the art of chess had exceeded his expectations, but he did not know if it was a good thing or a bad thing!
However, it had given rise to a huge change in the situation today!
The leader of the men in black sneered, "So Young Master Yun likes to poison his personal belongings, huh? What an interesting way to court death. Since Young Master Yun likes to court death so much, we shall help Young Master Yun on this journey today. Until your soul goes to the netherworld, you are not allowed to do anything else!"
Following the leader's order, the ten men on the other side quickly split into three groups, attacking in three different directions. After a round of attacks from one side, they withdrew immediately and switched to another side to continue the attack. When Yun Yang was done with the first two waves of attacks, the third wave came.
Even without considering the fact that the leader with the highest cultivation base was glaring from the side, such an attack was lethal enough.
Yun Yang was feeling increasingly strained. The least efficient way of fighting was hitting Yun Yang's weak spot.
Yun Yang stole a glance at the masked man in black who was glaring at him, feeling more and more that this man was good at judging the situation and deploying his troops.
Based on the current situation, if he were to join the siege, he would undoubtedly give Yun Yang more than twice the pressure he was facing now. This was completely predictable.
In spite of this, the pressure was not enough to kill Yun Yang immediately.
As long as Yun Yang was willing to pay the price, he had too many ways to escape with Shangguan Lingxiu.
In spite of this, the leader of the men in black was watching from the sidelines, glaring at them as if he could strike at any time. Instead, it had taken up most of Yun Yang's energy.
If he did not handle it well and the man found an opening, his life and death would be decided with a thunderous strike. There would be no turning back.
In spite of this, the reality was that no one would ever know when this person would strike – this was the most uncomfortable reality.
In the midst of the battle, someone moved closer to Shangguan Lingxiu and swung his saber. Shangguan Lingxiu deflected the attack with her sword, but she could not help but let out a low grunt.
The leader of the masked men was enraged. "Bastard! There's no need to complicate matters! Focus on Yun Yang, no mistakes! "
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard him.
It was not difficult for anyone to imagine that as long as they targeted Shangguan Lingxiu intermittently, whether it was capturing her alive or killing her directly, Yun Yang's attention would be greatly distracted. Was it not the best way to kill him as soon as possible?
Why was he being scolded?
The man was confused, but he dared not pursue the matter. He turned to attack Yun Yang again.
Shangguan Lingxiu did not pursue him either. She held her sword and stood where she was, unmoving.
Yun Yang let out a long howl and guffawed. "I didn't expect there to be a talent like you among the cashier assassins. How rare! Why don't you come to my side? As long as you're willing to come, I guarantee you a Marquis title that can be passed down for three generations! "
The leader of the masked men in black snorted. "Shut up!"
The whistling grew more intense. With a single thought, Yun Yang shrunk the defensive circle. The nine men who surrounded him from three sides were gradually unable to fight to their fullest extent. Two more men retreated.
One of the two who retreated this time was the assistant of the ambushers, the other Dao realm cultivator.
He was puzzled and could not figure it out. To him, the battle should have ended long ago. As long as Shangguan Lingxiu was held back, Yun Yang could be distracted immediately and speed up the killing.
However, the leader did not allow him to do so.
The assistant felt that the action was too unreasonable. As the helper, he had the responsibility and obligation to remind the leader what was the most effective method. The reputation of being shameless and despicable was not something people like them cared about …
Coincidentally, the battle circle was shrinking again, so he retreated.
The leader of the masked men in black watched as the assistant retreated to his side. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he asked in a low voice, "Do you have an opinion?"
The assistant was a Dao realm cultivator as well, so he was no pushover. He panted and said, "Of course! Your decision is rather inappropriate. Are you not going to allow me to say a few words? If we can't complete this mission, we'll definitely be held accountable by the lord when we return. Are you going to bear this punishment alone? "
What he meant was that if the mission could not be completed, he would have to suffer the consequences as well.
The leader of the masked men in black scoffed in disdain. "Speak."
"Why can't you target Shangguan Lingxiu and mess up Yun Yang's state of mind?" The assistant did not hold back. "You're neglecting the essentials, not taking the bright path and letting our brothers bleed and sacrifice themselves. What's the reason for that?"
