"Three Seventh Level Ethereal Opening Stage?"
Ye Xuan's brows twitched as he couldn't help but shudder.
Without mentioning the hundred assassins at the Third Level of the Ethereal Opening Stage and above, just these three Seventh Level Ethereal Opening Stage were enough to make him suffer.
Other than these three Seventh Level Ethereal Opening Stage assassins, there were six Sixth Level Ethereal Opening Stage and a dozen Fifth Level Ethereal Opening Stage assassins.
This lineup had frightened Ye Xuan.
"Looks like I'll have to fight to the death this time."
Ye Xuan felt a little helpless in his heart. However, he wasn't afraid. Even if he couldn't win, wouldn't he be able to escape?
If this went smoothly, he might be able to break through to the Fifth Level of the Ethereal Opening Stage.
"Who are you?"
At this moment, a scholar shot over and shouted loudly.
"Don't you know who we are?"
The black-clothed leader of the assassins held a sword as he sneered.
"What guts, you actually dare to find trouble with us." The scholar coldly snorted.
"I know that you're scholars of the Northern Heavens Academy. However, in the eyes of the Underworld, your Northern Heavens Academy isn't worth mentioning. If you're tactful, hand over those siblings to us. That way, I can spare your lives. "The black-clothed leader said.
"Three people?"
The three scholars glanced at each other.
This meant that the black-clothed man didn't plan to spare Ye Xuan, Ling Yao and the rest of the Heavenly Thunder Hall disciples. However, this was still acceptable. After all, if not for Ye Xuan and Ling Yao, how could such a thing have happened?
"Hmph, with just the three of you?" The leading scholar had a fearless look on his face.
Who were they?
They were the elites of the Northern Heavens Academy. Even if they were to challenge someone of a higher rank, it wouldn't be a problem for the three of them to restrain the three Seventh Level Ethereal Opening Stage assassins.
"From the looks of it, you really want to fight with us. I'll say the ugly words first. Don't think that I'll show mercy just because you're scholars of the Northern Heavens Academy. In the eyes of the Underworld, the Northern Heavens Academy is nothing!"
The black-clothed man kindly reminded them.
"Ye Xuan, we can hold these three back. The rest will depend on you and Elder Ling Yao," the leading scholar said to Ye Xuan.
"No problem. As long as you guys can hold off those three, I can handle the rest!" Ye Xuan said confidently.
Previously, he had been worried that the three of them would only be able to hold back one or two assassins at the seventh level of the Netherpassage Realm. Now that he saw how confident they were, he let out a sigh of relief.
But don't forget, Ye Xuan also had a lot of trump cards. Although there was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, they could still fight.
For a moment, both sides were in a deadlock.
"Everyone, let's do it. If anyone dares to hurt those siblings, don't blame me for being merciless!" The leader of the black-clothed men shouted in a low voice.
There was a good chance that one of these siblings was someone that the higher-ups of Hell were looking for. If any of them were to be harmed, then even ten thousand lives wouldn't be enough.
This group of assassins was also hired. This was the first time they had been hired by their peers. However, the reward for this mission was extremely generous. Moreover, it seemed that they had the upper hand in this situation. This was a complete bargain.
Under the command of the leader of the black-clothed men, the two sides finally started fighting.
"Junior Brothers, form the Tripartite Sword Formation!"
The leader of the scholars shouted.
"Yes!"
The other two answered.
The Tripartite Sword Formation was a sword formation that could be used by three people. Even if they were only at the sixth level of the Netherpassage Realm, they could easily deal with three at the seventh level of the Netherpassage Realm.
These three people's mission was to hold back the three seventh level Netherpassage Realm assassins. As for the others, they would leave them to Ye Xuan.
Those at the third and fourth level of the Netherpassage Realm were easy to deal with, but those six at the sixth level and a dozen at the fifth level were troublesome.
"There aren't enough mutant beasts in the planting space. If we use them all up now, their reproduction speed will greatly decrease."
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then let Luoluo out.
Although Luoluo hadn't broken through to the fourth level of the Netherpassage Realm yet, she wasn't far from it.
When Ye Xuan sensed this group of assassins, he immediately informed Luoluo.
"Bewitching Eye!"
As soon as Luoluo appeared, she used her ultimate move. A pink eyeball appeared on top of her head.
"Careful, close your eyes!"
Someone from the assassins' side immediately shouted.
However, there were still some who reacted too slowly. Those at the third level of the Netherpassage Realm were all bewitched, and even those at the fourth level fell for it.
In an instant, the assassin group was reduced by half, and internal strife broke out.
"The Fox Charm Clan is truly terrifying!"
That was what everyone thought.
In the blink of an eye, half of the assassins had turned traitor. The assassin group hadn't even charged when internal strife broke out.
"That little fox is in the way. Kill him!"
Several sixth level Netherpassage Realm assassins set their sights on Luoluo, but she had a powerful protector.
"You want to touch my people? Have you asked for my permission?"
Ye Xuan was furious. He immediately sent out Wei Zhentian and the Thunder Pearl.
There were still many experts ahead. If he rashly used his ultimate move, it would be blocked by them, so he couldn't let it go to waste.
However, he still had one move he could use right now.
"Brilliant Golden Armor!"
"Tyrannical Emperor's Boundless Sword!"
A giant golden sword appeared and slashed at the newcomers.
"Too slow!"
The assassins quickly dodged. They thought that the golden sword was only used for attacking.
"Bang!"
The golden sword fell to the ground. They joined forces and attacked Ye Xuan.
However, at this moment, a sudden impact from above caused their bodies to tremble violently.
"Crack!"
Some of them had gathered their True Qi and Ten Thousand Mammoths Strength on their feet to increase their speed. However, their defenses were weaker, and the Tyrannical Emperor's Boundless Sword shattered their bones.
Six fifth level Netherpassage experts had been killed in an instant, and one sixth level Netherpassage expert had been heavily injured.
"Hahaha, don't think that I'm still the same third level Netherpassage Realm expert from back then!"
Ye Xuan laughed loudly in his heart.
Breaking through was difficult for others, but for him, it was fine as long as he had enough resources.
Back then, he had caused a huge ruckus and killed four fifth level Netherpassage Realm experts in succession. He had even fought with You Huan a few times.
Today, he was at the fourth level of the Netherpassage Realm. His strength had skyrocketed many times over. These assassins were not well-informed as they had been caught off-guard by him.
As long as he killed these assassins, he might be able to break through to the fifth level of the Netherpassage Realm. At that time, he would join forces with the three scholars and kill off the remaining three seventh level Netherpassage Realm experts.
This, was his plan!
On the other side, the Heavenly Thunder Hall disciples and those hundred siblings were also using the power of Ten Thousand Mammoths to battle. While their cultivation bases were low, with the power of Ten Thousand Mammoths condensed together, it was still not an issue for them to contend against some fifth level Netherpassage Realm experts.
However, Ye Xuan had overlooked something. An old acquaintance of his had mixed into this group of assassins.
With so many of them together earlier, their auras had been too chaotic. As a result, even Ye Xuan had not discovered him.
Very quickly, this person approached Ye Xuan.
