"Don't listen to his nonsense, everyone charge together!" Tall Assassin shouted, but a glint of cunning flashed in his eyes. Although he was the loudest, he did not take the lead and rush forward first.
The assassin who had been mocked by Wildcat seemed to be straightforward. Upon hearing Tall Assassin's words, he immediately charged ahead, and a gleaming dagger appeared in his hand, shimmering with a chilling light.
Swish!
The dagger sliced through the dim space, a bright arc rippling out like water, resembling waves.
Ye Tian nodded slightly. To be honest, this guy's mastery of dagger techniques was beyond his expectations. Indeed, each had their own expertise; although he had been toyed with by a Wildcat, when he became fierce, he was not to be underestimated.
However, being formidable did not mean Ye Tian would be hindered by him. On the contrary, it merely required a bit of distraction.
"What a pity," Ye Tian sighed and shook his head. Perhaps because Yun'er also excelled in using daggers, he found himself somewhat reluctant to deal heavy blows to this guy.
At that moment, the light had already surged forth, tearing through the air with a hissing sound. The rippling waves began to emit intense brightness, particularly striking against the night backdrop.
Ye Tian stood still. Just as the wave of light was about to reach him, a Golden Bagua suddenly appeared in front of him. In the center of the Gossip pattern was a Golden Little Dragon twisting and turning, vividly alive.
Bang!
The seemingly gentle light collided with the Bagua Pattern, producing a muffled explosion sound. Immediately after, the Bagua Pattern trembled violently, and the light dissipated.
This strike actually shook the Bagua Xuan Yuan Shield, which took Ye Tian by surprise.
Seeing that this young man did not seem as formidable as rumored, the others immediately perked up. They understood well that Qiu Ziming had only asked them to secretly harm Yun'er as preparation to eliminate Ye Tian.
If they could directly slay Ye Tian tonight, it would indeed be a significant achievement!
"Kill him!"
Another Black-Clad Assassin roared, filled with confidence at this moment. Among these people, aside from the Tall Assassin and the Female Assassin, the others were all brothers he usually mingled with, so he was well aware of their abilities.
The previous assassin who used a dagger, the one mocked by Wildcat, was probably still somewhat inferior to him in overall strength. Since that assassin could shake Ye Tian's defenses, he believed he could inflict some damage as well.
Moreover, they had been together for so long that they had developed a tacit understanding. As long as they coordinated well, killing Ye Tian was not impossible.
At this moment, the other assassins seemed to share his thoughts. Although Ye Tian had a fearsome reputation, as the old saying goes, fortune favors the bold! If they could kill Ye Tian today, their status in Cloud-Drifting Pavilion would surely soar. Perhaps one day, they could even become the number one figure in the entire Cloud Sea Sect.
Thinking of this, the other assassins simultaneously made their move. In the narrow courtyard, Brilliant Light flickered; some wielded daggers, some used fists, and others drew long swords from behind—each showcasing their skills.
Ye Tian frowned slightly. He had merely underestimated the strength of the dagger-wielding assassin; he never expected that it would lead the opponent to think he was easy to bully. It was truly laughable.
"Looking for death!" Ye Tian coldly spoke, his eyes shooting out a Kanazawa. At this moment, he could control this level of Crimson Dragon's True Form with ease.
As Kanazawa emerged, the figures paused. When had they ever seen such a phenomenon? Flesh and blood shooting out golden light from the pupils, and those eyes were gradually turning gold as well. Even more terrifying was the wildness deep within those eyes, as if emanating supreme pressure from the Primeval.
"What are you standing there for? Charge at him!" The Tall Assassin shouted commandingly from behind, yet he did not move an inch. Beside him, the Female Assassin had half her body hidden behind him.
"Why are you hiding there? Get moving!" The Tall Assassin grabbed the Female Assassin by her hair and pulled her out from behind him, then pushed her toward the center of the courtyard.
The Female Assassin was already frightened; being treated this way made her heart tremble even more, and she couldn't help but let out a startled cry.
Hearing that voice, Ye Tian's brows furrowed deeply. He recognized it quite well because its owner had been friends with them for a long time.
Above the broken wall, Yun'er also furrowed her delicate brows, her face instantly turning icy cold.
For those who wanted to kill her, she did not harbor much hatred; after all, in this world of the survival of the fittest, everyone had to take care of their own affairs.
However, she never expected that a former friend would take such a step today.
"Luoshan Shan!"
Ye Tian shouted coldly, his anger surging like a tide. At the same time, a violent Shockwave erupted from him, radiating outward.
The few Black-Clad Assassins at the front were caught off guard and were immediately pushed back by the Shockwave. Once they regained their footing, they were filled with dread; if Ye Tian had truly intended to kill them just now, they would not have been able to stand safely.
While the Black-Clad Assassins were still in shock, Luoshan Shan, whose identity had been exposed, was even more terrified. Earlier, she had spoken as instructed by the Tall Assassin, deliberately altering her voice for safety. Unexpectedly, she had inadvertently revealed herself.
Even worse, Ye Tian had heard her.
After the Shockwave subsided, Ye Tian did not rush to attack but instead shifted his gaze from Luoshan Shan to the tall man.
The unspeakable events he had witnessed at Bai Kuo's residence resurfaced in his mind. Coupled with the tall man's stature and Luoshan Shan's presence, it was not difficult to deduce his identity.
"Do you think what you did is worthy of Duan Liu?" Ye Tian asked coldly as he stepped forward.
Immediately, an invisible yet overwhelming aura spread throughout the area. Everyone present felt a tightening in their chests and dared not speak under such pressure.
The Tall Assassin instinctively took two steps back. In fact, he had struggled for a long time before deciding to oppose Ye Tian. However, now he found himself in a situation where retreat was impossible; there was no reason for him to turn back.
"Enough with the nonsense; I was forced into this!" The Tall Assassin tried hard to calm himself.
"Forced into this?" Ye Tian sneered. "Did I force you to be with her..."
Ye Tian pointed at Luo Shanshan. In fact, if Bai Kuo wanted to harm him, he would never go so far as to kill the latter, after all, they were once brothers. Moreover, Duan Liu was even closer to him than a brother and deserved a chance.
However, Bai Kuo was so lacking in morals that he dared to covet Duan Liu's beloved and attempted to use Luo Shanshan to harm Duan Liu. Today, he was going to make a move against Yun'er; these actions were absolutely unforgivable in Ye Tian's eyes. Even if Bai Kuo was backed by the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters or the Cloud Pavilion Master Qiu Tiande, there would be no room for negotiation on this matter!
"You have the ability, then kill me! If not, stop talking nonsense!" Bai Kuo began to roar in anger because he was scared—terrified, in fact—and had to bolster his courage in this way.
Ye Tian took another step forward, a murderous aura radiating from him. Not only did the Black-Clad Assassins feel it, but even the wild cats far away on the broken wall fell silent and quickly fled into the surrounding underbrush.
At that moment, Luo Shanshan suddenly screamed and then knelt at Ye Tian's feet, crying out, "Ye Tian... for the sake of our past friendship, please let us go! We promise we will never do anything to hurt anyone again..."
Ye Tian responded with a slap; he felt utterly disgusted by this wretched woman. However, since Luo Shanshan was a woman, he couldn't bring himself to kill her.
"Get lost! Don't let me see you again," Ye Tian continued to close in on Bai Kuo.
"Ye Tian... I beg you, give us one more chance," Luo Shanshan said, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth as she lunged forward to hold onto Ye Tian's leg.
"You?" Ye Tian turned sharply, impatience flashing in his eyes. "You still want to plead for him?"
Tears shimmered in Luo Shanshan's eyes as she looked pitifully at him and mechanically nodded. If Ye Tian were replaced by Duan Liu at that moment, Luo Shanshan's ploy might have succeeded. However, to Ye Tian, everything about this was utterly repulsive.
"I'll give you one last chance—get lost!" Ye Tian shouted.
Luo Shanshan shook her head vigorously while shifting her gaze toward Bai Kuo as if urging him to admit his mistakes quickly.
Bai Kuo turned his head aside, displaying an attitude of defiance.
Seeing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but sneer. What a pair of shameless lovers; they were acting as if they were the victims here—it was truly laughable!
"Bai Kuo, I will give you one last chance. If you are willing to castrate yourself in front of Duan Liu Noodles to atone for your sins, then I can spare your life."
Upon hearing this, Bai Kuo trembled all over, unsure if he was shocked by the cruel condition or moved by it; in any case, his expression began to grow complicated.
Of course, Ye Tian did not find it cruel at all. Regarding Bai Kuo's actions, he even felt that merely punishing him severely would not be enough to relieve his anger.
"Ye Tian, please..." Luo Shanshan continued to plead, while several Black-Clad Assassins were present. As disciples of Cloud-Drifting Pavilion, they were unaware of these chaotic past events.
Whoosh!
The sound of breaking air came from the wall as Yun'er descended swiftly. He understood Ye Tian's thoughts well; Luo Shanshan had already angered him, but he was unwilling to lay a hand on a woman.
"Do you want to kill me?" Yun'er asked expressionlessly as he landed beside Luo Shanshan.
"Yun'er, it's not that I want to kill you, it's..." At this point, Luo Shanshan could not continue. This order was given by Qiu Ziming, but the mastermind behind it was Bai Kuo!
"Then it must be him?" Yun'er pointed at Bai Kuo, frost forming on her beautiful face.
She and Ye Tian were fundamentally the same; if one did not offend her, she would not offend them. But if someone did offend her, they would die!
