This spear shot out like a beam of sunlight.
Its speed was so fast that it was hard to react.
Even though Yang Ba was a five star True Master, he was still shocked.
That dazzling white light contained a scorching and terrifying aura, causing his hairs to stand on end as he felt a deep sense of impending death.
"Exploding Flame Cut!"
Yang Ba shouted out loud and immediately used the Exploding Flame Saber Art's peerless killing move. His strength erupted to the limit as he ruthlessly chopped down at the dazzling white light.
However, compared to the speed of Ye Xing's spear, Yang Ba's Exploding Flame Cut was far too slow.
The terrifying astral saber had just condensed when the Black Dragon Spear brought with it the terrifying power of flames, ruthlessly piercing through.
The astral saber collapsed, splashing everywhere.
The Black Dragon Spear's momentum didn't decrease. It shot forwards.
The spear point flashed like a beam of light, instantly piercing into Yang Ba's throat. It entered from the front and exited from the back.
Puff –
Ye Xing instantly withdrew his spear and drew back. An arrow of blood shot out from Yang Ba's throat.
Yang Ba covered his throat with both hands, unable to stop the blood from gushing out. He opened his mouth but no words came out. His eyes were filled with panic and unwillingness.
After experiencing Ye Xing's terrifying combat strength, Yang Ba already understood that the East Supporting Sect's destruction wasn't because the Big Dipper Sect had helped them from behind, but because … Ye Xing had such strength himself.
Now, Ye Xing could even kill a five star True Master. Yang Ba had a premonition that the Sun Moon Sect's calamity wasn't far off.
In just several breaths of time, Yang Ba collapsed to the ground. His eyes were wide open as he died, unable to rest in peace.
Ye Xing arrived beside Yang Ba. His gaze locked onto the Destiny Flame in Yang Ba's mind. This was a yellow flame with four clusters of flames.
Destiny Swallow!
In the skies above, the black hole rapidly spun. The Destiny Flame in Yang Ba's mind was soon extinguished. But, the Destiny Flame in Ye Xing's mind grew another cluster of flames, rising to a four star Yellow Fate.
Ye Xing's cultivation was about to reach the limit of Heaven's Mandate, so an increase of one star could be considered a relief.
However, a mere four-star Heaven's Mandate wasn't a long-term solution. With Ye Xing's cultivation speed, it wouldn't take long for him to reach the limit of the Heaven's Mandate.
"Once the disciples of the Falling Star Sect settle down, I'll have to go out and train. That way, I'll have a chance to encounter a higher level of Heaven's Will!"
Ye Xing thought to himself. With a wave of his hand, the Star Fire flew out and burned Yang Ba's body to ashes.
Ye Xing had set up alarm formations dozens of miles away from the basin. If someone came, Ye Xing would know when they were dozens of miles away from the basin.
To train in archery, Ye Xing had to use the Sagittarius Constellation. Under the Sagittarius Constellation's star power, the results would be twice the result with half the effort.
The Sagittarius Constellation wasn't a physical object, but an illusory aura. When it reached a certain distance, it couldn't be sensed or seen.
Ye Xing had set up alarm formations dozens of miles away, so he could boldly use the Sagittarius Constellation without worrying about being seen by others. If a cultivator came and couldn't sense the Sagittarius Constellation's star power, they would be discovered by Ye Xing first.
Regardless of whether it was Ye Xing's [Heart's Four Transformations] attainments in archery, the star power of the Sagittarius Constellation, or the power of fire from the Minute Subtlety realm, they were all beneficial to the cultivation of the [Blazing Arrow Art], resulting in twice the results with half the effort.
Therefore, Ye Xing's attainments in the Blazing Arrow Art had increased by leaps and bounds.
In just two days, Ye Xing's Blazing Arrow Art had reached the minor completion stage.
Ye Xing was overjoyed. It seemed that it wouldn't be long before he could cultivate the Blazing Arrow Art to the great completion stage. With the help of the Fire Aura, its power would be even stronger than the Four Symbols Arrow Art at the Perfection stage.
The place where Ye Xing practiced archery was nearly a hundred miles away from the Falling Star Sect. At this moment, Ye Xing didn't know that there were a few uninvited guests outside the Falling Star Sect.
Four black-robed cultivators were hiding in the shadows outside the Falling Star Sect's formation, observing.
The four of them had high cultivation. The leader was a Five-Star Sage, and the other three were Four-Star Sage.
There were very few Four-Star Sage in the southern part of the Qingyun Region. Obviously, these four people had come to the Falling Star Sect for some purpose.
There were seven blood-red swords tattooed on the sleeves of the four black-robed cultivators.
No one in the Qingyun Region knew what these seven blood-red swords meant. Even most of the True Xuan Domain's martial artists didn't understand.
But if the important figures of the Nine Upper Sects saw it, they would be shocked. They knew the meaning of the seven blood-red swords.
Each blood-red sword represented slaughter. The seven swords meant seven kills. They represented a top one-star force in the Qingyu Region – the Seven Kill Alliance!
The Seven Kill Alliance was not a sect, but an assassin organization. But it was enough to make all the one-star sects tremble in fear!
The Qingyu Region was one of the 36 upper regions in the East Divine Continent. It was ruled by the Qingyu Empire, a two-star force!
There were many one-star forces in the Qingyu Region. Some of them were not weaker than the Nine Upper Sects of the True Xuan Domain. Some were even stronger. But they were all subjects of the Qingyu Empire and obeyed the orders of the Qingyu Empire!
The Seven Kill Alliance was an assassin organization. It hid in the dark. Unlike the sects on the surface, they didn't listen to the orders of the Qingyu Empire.
Moreover, the Seven Kill Alliance dared to assassinate the Imperial family of the Qingyu Empire. The Seven Kill Alliance was the target of the Qingyu Empire.
The Seven Kill Alliance was always in danger of being eradicated by the Imperial family of the Qingyu Empire. But it still existed in the territory of the Qingyu Empire and developed for more than a thousand years. From this, it could be seen that the Seven Kill Alliance was indeed extraordinary.
Although the True Xuan Domain was close to the Qingyu Region, the area of a region was too vast. The Seven Kill Alliance's sphere of influence had always been in the Qingyu Region. They rarely did business outside the Qingyu Region.
But when there was business, the Seven Kill Alliance naturally wouldn't reject it. The reward for assassinating a target outside the Qingyu Region would be higher. It would be two to three times the normal price.
Ye Xing had broken through to the Astral Realm during the Young Hero Assembly. He was a one-star Sage, but his strength was almost invincible among the three-star Sages. He could be considered a three-star Sage.
Young geniuses had amazing potential. When the Seven Kill Alliance wanted to assassinate young geniuses with great potential, they would raise the price by one level. In other words, Ye Xing had the strength of a three-star Sage, but the Seven Kill Alliance treated him as a four-star Sage and wanted to assassinate him as a four-star Sage.
The True Xuan Domain was very far from the Green Feather Region. The Green Cloud Region where Ye Xing was located was a remote region of the True Xuan Domain. It was even further away from the True Xuan Domain. The Seven Kill Alliance accepted Shi Daotian's assassination mission at three times the price of assassinating a four-star Venerable.
Because the distance was too far, the assassins sent out didn't have any backup. Therefore, the Seven Kill Alliance raised the price of the assassination by another level. According to the standard of assassinating a five-star Sage, they sent out one five-star Sage and three four-star Sage to assassinate Ye Xing.
Outside the Falling Star Sect, in a hidden place, a four-star Sage assassin said, "He's just a martial artist from an inferior one-star sect. We'll forcefully break through the array, find Ye Xing, kill him, and then leave."
The five-star Sage assassin stared coldly at the four-star Sage and said, "You idiot.
I've told you to study array formations. It seems like you didn't study it at all. The array formation in front of us is a level three array formation with initial success. If you want to forcefully break through it, you're simply courting death! Even a six-star Sage wouldn't be able to break through it! "
"An inferior one-star sect actually has a level three array master?"
The four-star Sage who spoke earlier said in surprise, "Then what should we do? Are we supposed to wait outside and see when Ye Xing comes out? "
A four-star Sage beside him said, "If Ye Xing doesn't come out, are we supposed to keep waiting? Moreover, it's still unknown whether Ye Xing is in the sect or not. If we blindly wait here, we'll be too lucky. Our mission is to kill Ye Xing. We can't fail. We're not here to try our luck! "
The last four-star Sage said, "If we knew that the defensive array of this inferior one-star sect was a level three array formation with initial success, we would've sent a level three array master. Now, we're in a difficult situation."
The five-star Sage said, "Let's investigate this sect first."
The four of them left in the shadows. They came and went without a trace.
The situation of the Falling Star Sect was easy to investigate. The four Seven Kill Alliance assassins soon found out that the Falling Star Sect had been annihilated a few months ago. Then, there was a stronghold in the star crystal mine of the Azure Cloud Mountain.
"A sect stronghold will definitely not be protected by a Minor Success Level 3 formation like a sect. Why don't we attack that stronghold and lure the snake out of its hole? Once Ye Xing is there, we can kill him!"
A four-star Sage suggested.
The five-star Sage nodded in agreement. "Okay, we'll go there and you'll attack. The three of us will hide in the dark in case Ye Xing sees that we outnumber him and becomes timid and doesn't dare to show up."
A pair of black wings appeared behind each of the four Sages. It was a middle-grade flying spirit tool. They flew toward the Azure Cloud Mountain at the speed of light.
At noon, Ye Xing, who was practicing the Fiery Arrow Art, suddenly received a message from Gu Tianshang on his communication bead. A four-star Sage was attacking the array formation outside the star crystal mine.
Outside the mine, Ye Xing had set up a level three array formation with initial success — the Yin-Yang Golden Light Array!
The four-star Sage's attack couldn't break it at all. Ye Xing wasn't worried that something would happen to the mine.
However, since a four-star Sage was invading the mine, Ye Xing naturally had to go and check it out.
The Azure Cloud Wings appeared behind Ye Xing's back. Ye Xing's speed exploded, and he flashed into the sky. In a flash, he was already ten miles away.
Ye Xing's astral energy was cultivated from the Black Star Falling Art. It could unleash the speed of the Azure Cloud Wings, which was more than twice as fast as a middle-grade flying spirit tool.
In just a little over two hours, Ye Xing arrived at the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, not far from the star crystal mine.
When he was dozens of miles away from the mine, Ye Xing looked into the distance and saw the four-star Sage attacking the array formation.
Every time the four-star Sage attacked, a layer of golden light would appear outside the mine. The defensive power was so strong that the four-star Sage's attack couldn't shake it at all.
Ye Xing put away the Azure Cloud Wings and switched to the black-feathered wings. He lowered his altitude and continued forward under the cover of the mountain peak.
