When the man in black saw that the endless light really emerged from the ground, he was truly frightened out of his wits.
From what he knew, only Venerable Ones who possessed the Earth-series Flower could drill into the ground. When he thought about how the person behind him was a top-notch figure in the world, he was instantly filled with despair.
Nevertheless, years of tough training allowed his body to make the most basic reaction. He suddenly soared into the air, and the cross-swords in his hands also displayed unparalleled powers.
Being oppressed by a formidable Venerable One, he also released his potential as much as possible.
Endless sounds of explosions could be heard in the space. In such a powerful collision, there was no possibility of taking advantage of the situation.
When all of the lights disappeared, the man in black was surprised to find that he had received all of the seemingly unstoppable multicolored lights.
He was instantly overjoyed, but it was then when a finger seemed to have reached out from the netherworld and gently flicked his ankle, which was in the air, as though it was weightless.
A peculiar and unimaginable power was channeled into his body from there.
The power seemed to have a great restraining effect on essential Qi. Even when the man's essential Qi flowed endlessly in his body, it froze in an instant.
What was more frightening was that not only could he not use his essential Qi, but his body also began to become numb.
In a flash, the man in black, who was in mid-air, fell from the sky while maintaining his flying posture.
When he fell to the ground with a thud, mud splashed all over his body, but he still did not understand what exactly happened.
What kind of power was that, to be able to paralyze him in an instant?
He Yiming went forward and quickly patted the man's body a few times.
When the man lost his ability to resist, Ou Yangming cut off the man's essential Qi and sealed his acupuncture points. This was the only way to deal with Innate Stage powerhouses.
After a brief moment, the numbing effect on the man in black finally disappeared.
The power was mighty, but it could only be used in an unexpected situation for the first time to unleash a fatal effect. If the other party was already prepared, the possibility of a successful sneak attack would be close to zero.
Although this kind of power could temporarily paralyze the opponent, it definitely wouldn't last long. The higher the cultivation base of the other party, the shorter the duration.
Of course, for someone of He Yiming's level, as long as the other party slowed down, the final outcome could be imagined.
Sensing that his acupuncture points were sealed and that he could not exert his power at all, the man in black did not panic at all. He only looked at He Yiming silently and asked calmly, "Can you tell me your name? I want to know who killed you?"
He Yiming smiled and picked up the man's lost Cross Sword..
When he received this cross sword, he was finally able to confirm that Sima Yin was indeed from the same sect as them.
Glancing at his feet, He Yiming's brows furrowed slightly.
Although the man's Cross Sword was almost the same as Sima Yiming's, he was not wearing a pair of wind shoes, but a pair of good rain boots.
He Yiming extended his hand and lightly brushed the man's chest. He Yiming's brows furrowed even more. There was no silver ring on the man's chest.
A thought suddenly flashed through his mind. Could it be that wind shoes and silver rings were not part of these people's equipment?
He Yiming's actions clearly aroused the man's curiosity. He asked calmly, "Are you looking for something?"
He Yiming took a look at him. Under this kind of situation where he was under the control of others, he was still able to remain calm and speak with assurance. He Yiming really admired him.
He thought for a moment and said, "You must be an assassin from the Yellow Springs Sect."
The man smiled faintly. His face was ordinary, and if he was thrown into a crowd, it would be difficult to find him. However, when he smiled at this moment, there was a sense of heroism. "You must be the Venerable One from the Northwest Heavenly Lake."
He Yiming kept quiet, but to the man, it was undoubtedly a tacit admission.
He smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect Jin Zhangzheng to have a Venerable One by his side when he returned to Da Shen. If I had known, we wouldn't have made a move."
"Why?" He Yiming asked in confusion. After the two consecutive assassinations, He Yiming had seen their methods. He did not believe that they would not dare to assassinate a Venerable One because they were afraid.
"You've just arrived in Da Shen, so I'm sure you don't know that there's a rule in the assassination world in Da Shen. You're not allowed to attack seniors above the Venerable One level." The man in black looked regretful.
He Yiming was slightly stunned. He did not expect there to be such a rule. He suddenly had a thought and asked, "Are Venerable Ones not allowed to appear on the Yellow Springs List?"
"Of course. Since even Venerable Ones can't be assassinated, how can their names be listed on the Yellow Springs List?" Although the man in black was lying in the mud and could not move, he still looked at He Yiming fearlessly as if he was looking at an idiot.
He Yiming shuddered when their eyes met. He instantly understood that the man was determined to die, or he would not be so carefree.
He frowned and asked, "I heard that people from the Yellow Springs Sect can't leave Da Shen's borders, right?"
"Yes, our sect has such a rule."
He Yiming's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "Nonsense. I've seen assassins from the Yellow Springs Sect in the Northwest. Are your sect rules just for show?"
The man in black was tongue-tied at first, but he quickly said, "That's impossible. The Yellow Springs Sect hasn't sent people out of the country for decades."
He Yiming coldly snorted and said, "Nonsense. That person's attire, weapon, and cultivation method are all from the same school as your distinguished self. Not only that, he also has a pair of artifact shoes that can fly in the air and a silver ring with a mysterious space."
The man in black's face changed. It was the first time he lost his composure after losing his ability to resist.
"It's him … He actually entered the Northwest …"
At this point, the black-clothed man's eyes flashed with extreme regret. He Yiming observed the man's expression and immediately understood that there must be some secret involved.
The man in black took a deep breath and said, "Sir Venerable One, if you can sell this information to Old Ancestor Yellow Springs, the entire Yellow Springs Sect will be grateful to you."
He Yiming chuckled and asked, "What do I need your gratitude for?"
A trace of anxiety appeared on the black-clothed man's face. He opened his mouth, and suddenly, his face turned incomparably black in an instant. A mouthful of sticky black blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
He Yiming was stunned at first, then he could not help but be dumbfounded.
It was clear that the man had consumed an intense poison and died, but He Yiming had been watching him carefully just now, so he did not know when the man consumed the poison.
He Yiming was struck with a thought. The man had consumed the poison as soon as he was restrained. In order to kill the man as soon as the poison took effect, Ou Yangming had to forcefully gather his remaining essential Qi to suppress the poison's effect.
When the poison's effect reached the point where even Ou Yangming's essential Qi could not suppress it, it would erupt like a volcano and take the man's life in an instant.
That said, the man was clearly regretful when he heard about Sima Yin's whereabouts. Unfortunately, his remaining essential Qi was not enough to suppress the poison's outbreak, thus he could not say anything.
He Yiming sighed and picked up the man's cross sword. After a moment of hesitation, he also picked up the man's corpse and returned to where he came from.
He did not obtain any substantial information from his conversation with the man this time, but he noticed some clues.
The wind shoes on Sima Yin's feet and the silver interspatial ring on his chest might have belonged to Old Ancestor Yellow Springs. It was just that they somehow fell into Sima Yin's hands.
Sima Yin avoided the Yellow Springs Sect's eyes and ears and came to the Northwest, but he died in Ou Yangming's hands in the end.
It was undoubtedly great that Ou Yangming obtained the silver interspatial ring and the wind shoes without anyone knowing. Even so, He Yiming decided that he would not expose the items in front of anyone no matter what, or he would be hunted down by the Yellow Springs Sect in the most intense way in history.
He Yiming would never believe that a sect that could stand tall for a thousand years and had such a reputation did not have a Supremacy overseeing it.
Soon enough, he returned to the small temple. When he glanced around, he noticed that the dozen or so people were either dead or captured, but none of them managed to escape. In front of those people, a huge two-handed sword was stabbed into the ground, and it carried an incredibly fierce aura.
The moment He Yiming took out the black-clothed man and the cross sword in his hand, the remaining few people revealed looks of incomparable shock and disbelief.
Jin Zhanzhong was famous for his fighting prowess, so it was not strange for him to be able to kill someone and return. However, they could not believe that this person had killed one of the few powerhouses in the Yellow Springs Sect.
Jin Zhanzhong laughed in the house and said, "Brother He, you're back too. Please come in."
He seemed to be confident that He Yiming could successfully kill this person, so there was not much surprise in his laughter.
He Yiming walked into the small temple and sat in his original position.
Zhang Zhongchi glanced at the black-clothed man through the small door and said, "Brother He, you're indeed the No. 1 person in the Northwest below the Venerable One. Even a top-notch Yellow Springs assassin who obtained a cross sword couldn't escape your pursuit."
He Yiming glanced at the strange cross sword on the corpse in surprise. Only then did he understand that the person who owned the sword had an extremely high status in the Yellow Springs Sect.
Jin Zhanzhong raised the teacup in front of him and said heroically, "Since they dared to come, they're courting death. Brother He, I'll toast you with tea instead of wine."
The 2 drank and laughed at the same time.
He Yiming asked casually, "Brother Jin, did you find out anything?"
He was just asking casually, but Jin Zhanzhong's face suddenly showed a dignified expression. He said, "I didn't expect that apart from the Yellow Springs Sect, even the Assassin Guild from the Western countries came to assassinate me."
