The broken courtyard was once again eerily silent.
After a long while, an earth-shattering sound of cold air was heard in the run-down courtyard. Accompanying this sound was the frightening footsteps of both master and servant taking two steps back in unison.
It happened very suddenly. Although everyone heard the sound of the arrow piercing through the air and saw Xie Da's corpse with a hole in his head, they gasped and took a step back. They still did not understand what had happened.
Until the sound of steady footsteps came from the central room.
Thud, thud …
The footsteps were like thunder, finally breaking the ice pillars that sealed everyone. Then everyone knew that someone had just died. The person who died was Xie family's eldest son, Xie Shuai's bodyguard, Xie Da, who was known as one of the Sword and Saber Duo.
Then, everyone put on an expression as if they had seen a ghost. However, there was still a lot of shock in everyone's eyes.
A Brute Force Level 7 expert, under the attack of sword and saber, could not be killed unless he met a top Inner Qi expert!
Thud, thud …
The steady footsteps came to the door of the central room. Everyone looked up and saw Xie Tian, who had been killed by the Sword and Saber Duo. At the same time, they saw the crossbow in Xie Tian's hand.
This crossbow was the culprit that took Xie Da's life.
For a moment, the crossbow in everyone's eyes seemed to be emitting a terrifying light. Although the crossbow was tattered and could be easily broken by a Brute Force Level 1 expert, it had just killed a Brute Force Level 7 expert.
The next moment, the crossbow's light disappeared. Everyone looked at Xie Tian, who was covered in wounds.
They finally realized that it was not the crossbow that killed, but Xie Tian. Without Xie Tian, the crossbow was just a dead object. It was Xie Tian who was too dazzling that gave the crossbow its dazzling light.
Although they had thought that this person was despicable and shameless to use a hidden arrow to hurt people, they could not say it out loud. Because if they were fighting with the Sword and Saber Duo, they would not even think of using a hidden arrow to hurt people, let alone put it into practice.
Xie Tian looked at Xie Bao, scaring him into taking another step back. It was as if he was saying that this arrow was prepared for him. He then squatted down and opened his backpack. He put the crossbow inside and took out another item.
It was a blue porcelain bottle.
The eight-inch dagger slid out from Xie Tian's sleeve.
When Xie Tian opened the porcelain bottle and poured the green liquid on the dagger, Xie Li, who had been trying his best to stay calm, finally couldn't help but step back. He pointed at Xie Tian and screamed in horror.
"Scarlet … Scarlet Fan Liquid! Where did you get it? "
"Oh? So this thing is called Crimson Vitriol, "Xie Tian looked at Xie Li, who had retreated to Xie Bao's side, and asked seriously," You know this thing, what use does it have? "
Xie Tian didn't know about it, and he was very serious when he asked about it. But in Xie Li's ears, it was a blatant threat. At this moment, he didn't want to answer this question. He just wanted to quickly escape from the courtyard and gather more experts. So he quickly whispered to Xie Bao, "Second Young Master, this kid is too vicious. In order to avoid casualties, we should retreat!"
Even though it was right next to his ear, Xie Bao didn't hear it. He was currently in a very strange world. Excitement, humiliation, fear, jealousy, shock, and all sorts of other emotions formed a barrier that temporarily isolated him from the world.
These emotions were all brought to him by Xie Tian. Excitement came from Xie Tian's strength. He believed that once he obtained that secret, he would become even stronger than Xie Tian. Fear came from Xie Tian's gaze, and humiliation came from fear …
Ever since he realized that Xie Tian was only a dog of the Xie family, he never thought that there would be a day when he would experience jealousy, hatred, fear, and the humiliation that fear brought to him.
Xie Tian was too powerful. These words occupied his thoughts. He was both afraid and angry. These two constantly swelling emotions almost tore apart his fragile heart.
Therefore, fear made him want to use violent means to completely annihilate Xie Tian. But anger reminded him to calm down and not rely on brute force.
When anger finally took the upper hand, he smiled. It was a very natural smile. He softly said to Xie Tian, "Tell me the secret of your great improvement in cultivation. I swear to the ancestors of the Xie family that I will respectfully send you away from the Xie family today and never cause trouble for you."
Xie Tian didn't smile because he was too lazy to smile. He put the porcelain bottle into his backpack and turned around to close the door of the central room. He raised the dagger in his hand and pointed it at Xie Li.
After receiving such a response, the anger in Xie Bao's heart suddenly overwhelmed his reason. The indifferent smile on his face instantly turned ferocious. He shouted at Xie Li, "Kill him! Kill him! If he doesn't die, you will! "
Xie Li's entire body trembled. He withdrew his vigilant gaze from the central room and took a few deep breaths. He looked at the oily green dagger with trepidation.
He really didn't want to fight, but he had no choice. To put it bluntly, he was just a dog of the Xie family. Therefore, he walked forward, but his steps were abnormally small, as if he was afraid that he would pull his balls if he walked too fast.
Everyone was very puzzled. Even if Xie Tian had died, he had only died from a hidden arrow. Even if the dagger in Xie Tian's hand was abnormally vicious, Xie Li, as one of the dual masters of the sword and saber, should have been able to deal with the heavily injured Xie Tian. So why was Xie Li acting as if he was facing a great enemy?
They didn't know two things. First, the scarlet alumina was incomparably poisonous. Even if one came into contact with half a drop, it wouldn't take long for their entire body to turn into pus.
Second, Xie Li was already scared out of his wits.
Whether it was the fact that Xie Tian hadn't died under the combined attack of the sword and saber, or the fatal arrow in the central room, or the fact that Xie Tian was using the scarlet alumina to deal with him, everything was enough to prove that Xie Tian wasn't the trash that everyone thought him to be.
Under the combined attack of the sword and saber, he had experienced a fear that no one else could. Xie Da had also experienced it, which was why he had suddenly lost control and died from the hidden arrow. The source of this fear was because they had sensed Xie Tian's terrifying rate of progress in the short span of a third of an incense stick of time.
Xie Li was well aware that the seemingly unremarkable fatal arrow was sufficient proof of Xie Tian's combat talent. This sort of ability was not something that could be cultivated, but rather honed through life and death situations. On this point, he admitted that he was inferior to Xie Tian.
And he had also guessed the reason for the scarlet alumina. Xie Tian was clearly trying to make him feel fear, to restrain him. In this sort of situation, it would be very difficult for him to fight freely.
Xie Tian had succeeded. Because Xie Li was not only afraid of the green dagger, he was even more afraid of the closed door of the central room.
Only the heavens knew if another arrow would be shot, ringing the death knell that belonged to him.
It took Xie Li over twenty breaths of time to cover the short distance of a few dozen feet. Fortunately, in this period of time, his fluctuating emotions had calmed down. Although his courage was still lacking, his battle strength had recovered by at least seventy percent.
"Brute Force fifth level, seventy percent battle strength, that's enough!"
Xie Li couldn't tell if these words were disdain for the enemy or comfort for himself. Finally, with a majestic roar, he took on a stance that indicated for Xie Tian to come at him.
As soon as he took on this stance, everyone's eyes fell out of their sockets, because they had originally thought that Xie Li would take the initiative to attack. Suddenly, everyone's gaze shifted to Xie Tian, wanting to see just what sort of ability this cripple had to be able to make Xie Li take him so seriously.
Unfortunately, what they saw was still a skinny and bloodied body that looked like it would fall in the next moment. Other than the pair of eyes, there was nothing else that stood out.
It was a pair of eyes that were excited to see prey. If the target of these eyes was a beauty or a top ranked martial art, no one would be surprised. But now, the target of these eyes was an expert who was two levels higher than him in a life and death battle …
How could there be such an evil person in the world?
Shuddering!
Xie Li also shuddered!
He finally understood what Xie Tian treated him as!
In a life and death battle, you used me, a Brute Force seventh level expert, as a practice. What right do you have!
"Nine Stars Hanging Moon!"
An abnormal flush flashed across Xie Li's face. The battle had finally begun. From the start, it was a bloody storm. Because of his anger, Xie Li had finally recovered his battle strength. He believed that with a full attack, he would definitely be able to destroy Xie Tian easily!
Xie Tian's eyes lit up even more!
Because this move, Nine Stars Hanging Moon, was unprecedentedly powerful!
Nine stars as a blade, the moon was also a blade. The dots reflected each other and interlocked. This move was like a vast world pressing down!
Breathing in the air that was torn by the blade, Xie Tian felt like he was breathing in small blades. The tearing pain in his lungs made him unable to breathe!
Under the force of the blade, he did not hesitate to use Nine Heavens Crane Dance and took five steps back. When the world of Nine Stars Hanging Moon was about to hit him, the short blade finally stabbed out clumsily.
The reason why he stabbed was because he did not know how to use weapons.
Xie Li's moves were incomparably graceful, but Xie Tian's stab was like a sow climbing a tree. It was not beautiful at all. Just when everyone thought that the nimble and clumsy collision would produce a proportional result, their eyeballs dropped to the ground again.
With three sizzling sounds, two of the Nine Stars Hanging Moon landed on Xie Tian's shoulders, drawing out two blood plum blossoms. Just as the third star was about to land on Xie Tian's throat, Xie Li's right hand, which was holding the saber, retracted as fast as lightning as if it had been bitten by a snake!
Drip, drip, drip …
Drops of green-colored blood dripped down from Xie Li's right wrist and landed on everyone's shattered hearts like thunder.
This was the heaven-flipping effect of a clumsy stab!
Did not know how to use a blade? No problem, as long as one had the All Seeing Eye to see through the move! Where was the weak point!
"Die! Nine Phoenix Ritual! "
Xie Li's eyes turned scarlet as he roared. In his madness, he had long forgotten his fear of the central room. He had even forgotten that he had been poisoned by the Scarlet Alumina Liquid and that his right hand was festering. He only wanted to use his strongest move to kill Xie Tian who had humiliated him so much!
Xie Tian's eyes dimmed as he faced Xie Tian's strongest move. After watching for a while, he raised his hand and threw the dagger out. The simple trajectory easily passed through the tight blockade of the nine sword phoenixes and stabbed into the gap between Xie Li's ribs.
Time seemed to stop at this moment. Then, with Xie Tian's light and breezy words, the flow of time resumed.
"Easily angered, not calm, and full of openings, a great taboo."
Hearing this, Xie Li's face suddenly turned red and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He fell backwards, his eyes filled with indignation and shame.
Xie Li misunderstood Xie Tian, because those last words were not for him, but for Xie Tian himself.
He had indeed seen these flaws on Xie Li's body, but how could a person who even had to worry about not wasting his Yuanyang do such a useless thing to someone else?
Xie Tian was only reminding himself not to make this kind of mistake in future battles.
"It's your turn."
Pulling out the dagger, Xie Tian's indifferent gaze swept across the servants, landing on the Xie Family disciples. The moment he took his first step forward, everyone except Xie Bao knelt down.
