Meet the enemy?
All the cultivators were bewildered. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't detect the enemy. They couldn't help but wonder if Yan Li was hallucinating because of the harsh environment.
Zhao Chang was one of the few disciples of the Five Elements Court who knew about talismans. As a disciple of the Way of Nature, his status was more prominent than his cultivation, and he was sought after by many people. If he had known that this seemingly glorious mission would lead to such a desperate situation, he would not have participated even if he was beaten to death. When Xiao Pojun grabbed him by the collar, he felt deeply humiliated. What made him feel even more humiliated was that he was afraid of the avalanche, so he forcefully suppressed this feeling of humiliation and chose to compromise with the thugs. If this matter were to be spread back to the sect, how would his junior brothers and sisters who admired him view him?
Ridiculous mission!
Ridiculous Xiao Pojun!
Ridiculous Yan Shifang!
It would be best if they all died here!
Meet the enemy, I'll meet your mother!
He cursed Yan Li to his heart's content. Just as he was about to take advantage of this pleasure to ridicule Yan Li, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. He couldn't help but look down. He saw a strangely shaped blade protruding from his chest. Because the blade was stabbed too quickly, it didn't have time to be stained with blood. The cold light of the blade was particularly threatening.
No!
Impossible! How could I die here?
His face suddenly became ferocious. If I die, let's die together!
This person didn't care who was attacking him from behind. He used all his remaining strength to try to let out a final roar.
But this roar didn't come out.
Yan Li's reaction was fast. He saw through his intention almost immediately. He pulled out the Separation Cliff with his right hand and let the scabbard fall freely. His left hand quickly sealed Zhao Chang's mouth. At the same time, he held the Separation Cliff in a reverse grip and slashed at the assassin hiding in the shadows under the sun.
Clang!
The shadow had unsheathed his curved blade and blocked the Separation Cliff. Sparks flew everywhere. The shadow couldn't withstand the force and flew back, disappearing without a trace in midair.
Yan Li had already locked on to the shadow's Qi, so it was impossible for him to escape. However, his hand, which was holding the sword again, suddenly froze. This was because the shadow had said something very obscure the moment the sword and saber collided.
"Dragon Head, be careful of Ying!"
He could tell that it was Ouyang Xiu's voice, so he held back his sword.
In the next moment, dozens of cultivators were ambushed. However, Liumu Bingjian had already unleashed his Law Domain, so only a few of them were lightly injured. These shadows would immediately flee after a single strike, making it impossible for Law Domains to catch them.
"Alert!"
Yan Li let go of the corpse in his hand. It was as if he did not see the man's resentful expression when he died with his eyes wide open. He did not relax in the slightest because the leader of the assassination team was Ouyang Xiu.
Zhao Chang died too quickly. The nine disciples looked at Yan Li with fear in their eyes. Seeing that he had no sympathy for his fellow disciples, they felt very disappointed.
"Brother … Brother Zhao died just like that?" One of them still couldn't believe it. Perhaps he just couldn't accept Yan Li's cold-bloodedness, just like how Yan Li didn't hesitate to abandon Liang Youyu and didn't even look at Zhao Chang's body. If he fell in a pool of blood like Zhao Chang, wouldn't it be worth even looking at him?
Most people's thoughts were like this.
Xu Guang came over. He first squatted down to close Zhao Chang's eyes, then covered them with a piece of cloth. Finally, he stood up and faced Yan Li, saying seriously, "Please show some respect to the bodies of your fellow disciples."
Yan Li's mind was spinning rapidly at this moment. The appearance of the Shadow Hall meant that their actions had been exposed. What did that warning mean? Shadow? Wasn't that the Hall Master of the Shadow Hall? Why did Ouyang Xiu tell him to be careful of the Hall Master of the Shadow Hall? Liumu Bingjian had been monitoring Guan Xiaolong, so it was certain that he had no chance to do anything. So there seemed to be only one truth.
Why was Shadow called Shadow? Was it because he was the Hall Master of the Shadow Hall? From another perspective, could it be that this guy was good at hiding in other people's shadows? Could it be that he was hiding in someone's shadow now? Ouyang Xiu's warning was short and urgent, which meant that he didn't have the time and didn't dare to give too obvious hints.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel terrified.
With this reasoning, it was reasonable for the Shadow Hall to appear here. Time was running out. The shadow had already appeared, and the Xue Kuang and the enemy's main force must be behind. He had to hurry up!
"Hey, Yan Li, did you hear what I said?" Xu Guang had the unique sense of superiority that Dao Court disciples had when facing other Confucian orthodoxy disciples. Even if Yan Li risked his life to retrieve the Fire Leeches and rescued them from the hands of the Xue Kuang, it was just what he should do. "As the chief disciple of the Sixth Big Dipper Palace, I promise you that if you don't apologize to Zhao Chang, I will definitely take this matter to the Court Of Sword and demand an explanation."
Yan Li took a deep breath of air and said to the crowd, "Hurry up, we must climb to the top of the mountain before dark!" As he said this, he strode forward.
As the chief disciple, it was the first time that Xu Guang was so completely ignored. He couldn't help but be furious. He reached out and pressed on Yan Li's shoulder, "Wait, make it clear before you go. Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I said? "
The situation was so urgent, and they were about to lose their lives, but he still had the leisure to care about the corpse. The shadow hiding in the dark was an imminent threat, and everyone's life was in danger at any time.
At this moment, Yan Li's killing intent could no longer be suppressed. Everyone looked over in horror. What a piercingly cold intent! It was as if it was going to turn into a knife and slice their hearts inch by inch.
The Nine Great Disciples, who originally wanted to cheer for Xu Guang, looked at each other and shrank back.
As the one closest to Yan Li, Xu Guang felt it very strongly, and his hand shrank back as if it had been electrocuted. He angrily said, "Then, then let's go up the mountain first …" Before he could finish, he heard a 'qiang lang' sound. His vision blurred, and Yan Li had already disappeared. When he felt the sharp edge on his neck, he realized that there was someone behind him. His whole body trembled with fear, and he did not even dare to make a sound.
"Listen up, from now on, say one more word and you will die," Yan Li whispered.
In Xu Guang's ears, it was like a terrifying demonic sound that could kill people. The cliff was only half an inch away from his skin, and he would bleed if he touched it. He trembled all over and nodded, not daring to say another word. At this moment, it was as if his more than ten years of cultivation had evaporated into thin air.
"Let's go." Yan Li put away his sword.
The team moved forward again, and no one paid attention to Zhao Chang's body anymore.
Guan Xiaolong looked at Xu Guang's mechanical steps and let out a low laugh.
On the other side, Ouyang Xiu led the shadows of three teams and stopped in another cedar forest a few miles away.
The shadows were in the state of soul shadows, and could not be seen by the naked eye.
He turned around and faced his men and the shadows of the other two teams, and said in a gloomy voice, "This is the end."
"Captain," his men were very confused, and they showed up one after another, "what should we do next?"
"Yin She, what are you doing?"
The one who asked the question was one of the captains of the other two teams, named Yin Chuan. Both of them were named by Ying, and they were both trusted subordinates of Ying. They had long disliked each other and dreamed of getting rid of each other.
Ouyang Xiu reached out and lifted the hood of his black robe, revealing a thin face that was delicate but very vicious. He laughed at himself and said, "I don't know what I'm doing. If I could choose, I would definitely choose to be born in the Devil Realm. This is the heaven that I've been dreaming of! But … "
As he spoke, the curved sword had already stabbed into the heart of his deputy next to him, and he looked in the direction where Yan Li had gone, murmuring, "Dragon Head, if you die, it means that my fate with Yanshan Robber is over!"
