This loud roar shook the ears of everyone present to the point of buzzing, and for a time, they were no longer as sensitive as before.
At the same time, another saber gleaming with a chilling glint appeared.
The moment the saber blade appeared, the temperature of the entire space seemed to have dropped a few degrees.
As soon as it appeared, endless saber light bloomed, gathering into a mountain of sabers in an instant. It fell with a loud crash, aiming straight for the source of the desolate aura!
However, the desolate aura did not diminish in the face of the sudden crisis. Instead, it soared into the sky and retaliated. With a flick of his sleeve, saber light flashed like lightning; Yun Xiaoyao's sword and Lao Mei's saber were parried with a clang, while Fang Mofei's sword tip was deflected with a kick. Two bolts of lightning shot out from his other sleeve, deflecting the weapons of the two Kings of the Underworld who were pursuing him. He then turned into a ball of lightning and soared into the sky, charging forcefully at the saber mountain blockade that Yun Yang had set up. After a series of explosions, he broke through the siege and soared into the sky.
Then, a long howl could be heard. "Lord Supreme Cloud, your target is indeed me. I am honored!"
The other party had broken through the siege, displaying an astonishing ability and the ability to control Qi and walk through the void. He had crossed three hundred feet with a single step and had flown to the top of a large tree like a meteor. With a slight leap, he had turned into a black dot in the night sky with a swoosh.
As for the last two targets, a rain of blood rained down from the sky as he fell from the sky.
"How powerful!"
Fang Mofei had only taken a kick from the other party, with his treasured sword acting as a buffer, but he still felt his hand go numb as he was flung away. Looking at his target, Ouyang Xiaoshe, who had soared into the sky, his eyes were filled with shock.
Ouyang Xiaoshe's cultivation base had obviously far exceeded everyone's expectations.
Yun Xiaoyao's face was filled with caution and disbelief.
"Back then, the two great assassins were equally renowned in the world – Dugu Jimo and Ouyang Xiaoshe – they lived up to their reputations!"
Looking at the sky again, not only was the target gone, even the wind and clouds had disappeared. There was only silence in sight.
"Thirty-five impostors have been caught." Yun Xiaoyao hollered, "Retreat! Return this place to the martial world!"
He glanced at the sky worriedly. The wind and clouds had dispersed, meaning that Yun Yang had gone to track his target.
However, Ouyang Xiaoshe was far more powerful than expected. If Yun Yang chased after him alone, would there be another accident?
Just as he was thinking about what to do next, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound coming from the other side.
The assassins once again engaged in a fierce battle with the Jianghu people.
"The martial world's affairs shall be left to the martial world. Yutang's officials will not intervene. However, if anyone dares to harm our warriors or plot against us, the thirty-four dead men here will serve as an example! Also, death is not the end. Those who are involved in this case will have their entire families executed and killed without mercy! "
Yun Xiaoyao's voice was deafening as it rumbled across the sky above the east side of the city.
When the people of the East City heard this, they all felt a chill in their hearts.
In Jianghu, there had always been a saying that one should not involve one's wife and children in misfortune. It was almost an ironclad rule in Jianghu.
However, it was obvious that the imperial court would not care about this martial world's iron rule. The martial world's affairs shall be left to the martial world. One shall bear the consequences of one's actions. No matter how great the disturbance was, as long as the person involved died, one person would have to pay with his life. However, when the imperial court's laws were broken, it was normal to have one's family executed.
If it were any other day, the martial world's people would inevitably feel that the imperial court's method was too harsh. However, this time, the people did not feel that it was cruel. Instead, they only felt that it was reasonable.
Yutang's officials had already made things convenient for the battle in Yutang's East City. They had even shown their goodwill and given the martial world's dead people a guarantee for their afterlife. Under such a premise, they had broken the rules and were enemies with everyone!
Enemies with the martial world's people, the League of Assassins, and the imperial court of Yutang's imperial court!
Of course, their deaths were not to be regretted!
…
Ouyang Xiaoshe moved like a bolt of lightning, moving so fast that the naked eye could barely follow him. His movements were eerie, like an illusory shadow in the vast night sky.
At this moment, Ouyang Xiaoshe exerted all the strength he had in his life to flee without reservation.
He had been exposed!
Supreme Cloud had his eyes on him!
His top priority was to get rid of Supreme Cloud, to get rid of him completely. Only then could he talk about changing his identity and the rest.
Of course, he could not give up on the dragon hide treasure map no matter what!
To Ouyang Xiaoshe, this was already an obsession of his life. He would not regret it even if he died nine times!
He had long left the boundary of Tiantang City, which meant that he was getting further and further away from the danger zone. His chances of survival were increasing, but listening to the howling of the wind above his head only made him more and more anxious.
The night was solemn, the heaven and earth were silent. Where did the howling wind come from?
It had to be Supreme Cloud!
It could only be Supreme Cloud!
Of course, Ouyang Xiaoshe was well aware of this fact. However, to him, the only thing he could do was to keep running.
After a while, Ouyang Xiaoshe had already left the boundary of Tiantang City and arrived in the forest with complicated terrain. The misty night was still the same, but the gray shadow that Ouyang Xiaoshe had transformed into suddenly circled and disappeared with a swoosh.
This was a backup plan that Ouyang Xiaoshe had long prepared. It was a secret cave that he had set long before he entered Tiantang City. It was also the main reason why he had continued to flee even though he knew that Yun Yang was on his tail and that he could not get rid of him. Even though the wind was strong, it could not cover everything. He had hidden himself in the secret cave that he had prepared in advance. What could he do?
The howling wind was still in hot pursuit. The moment the wind entered the forest, a loud boom could be heard as the entire mountain was engulfed in a sea of fire!
Monstrous flames rose into the sky. The land within a thousand-mile radius was filled with billowing flames, a murky crimson.
The moment the monstrous fire rose, the underground water level also rose. All the hidden caves and underground caves in the forest were no exception, and there were no omissions either. The ground and water were filled to the brim.
With a strange cry, a silhouette rushed out of the fire in a disheveled state. It was Ouyang Xiaoshe.
The terrain of this forest was unusually complicated, and there were countless natural ravines and caves. Otherwise, Ouyang Xiaoshe would not have chosen this route of retreat before he entered Tiantang City. In his estimation, as long as he could successfully escape into the predetermined hidden cave, he could rely on the few extraordinarily hidden and interconnected caves, as well as the dry rations and bedding that he had prepared beforehand.
Even if Supreme Cloud were to discover him, he would still have a great chance of survival and room to maneuver!
What he did not expect was that although he had managed to escape back to the forest where he had come from, Supreme Cloud had a way to deal with him as well.
There was no need to waste time and effort to play hide and seek. He could directly set fire to the mountain, and not only that, he could also flood the land at the same time!
The combination of water and fire intertwined. If he did not come out in time, he would be boiled human flesh even if he did not turn into charcoal!
He had no choice but to come out and face Yun Yang!
