ALL NOVEL Chapter 49
The small bridge and flowing water, pavilions and towers.
Xue Tianyi was consumed with rage thinking about the humiliation he faced at the banquet. He felt like he was about to explode and desperately needed to vent his frustration.
Under the influence of alcohol, he bellowed at his subordinates, “Get me a few women! I need them right now!”
His minions sensed his furious mood and trembled, knowing that some poor women were about to suffer. They hurriedly nodded and replied, “Yes, Young Master!”
Xue Tianyi, staggering and drunk, pushed away a servant who attempted to support him, barking, “Scram! Just get lost!”
Seeing the scene unfold, the servant hurriedly backed away, terrified of this unpredictable young master.
As Xue Tianyi walked alone down a shaded path, the gentle breeze helped to ease his frustration a little.
Suddenly.
A menacing killing intent locked onto him.
Whoosh! A terrifying black blade aura shattered the air, aimed at splitting Xue Tianyi in two from head to toe.
The attacker was swift, hitting with deadly precision; within the blink of an eye, the blade aura was already above Xue Tianyi’s head.
Buzz~!
At that moment, a purple light erupted from Xue Tianyi, forcefully blocking the black blade aura, creating an overwhelming force that rebounded towards the attacker.
“Ah!”
A muffled groan escaped the attacker’s lips.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, stumbling back several meters, his eyes filled with extreme unwillingness.
“Who?!”
The sudden attack snapped Xue Tianyi out of his daze, and he quickly turned around.
It was a middle-aged man in a hat, scruffy and bearded, with sharp eyes like an eagle, glaring at him with utter hatred.
Inside, the hat man was shaken; he hadn’t expected Xue Tianyi to possess some sort of magical treasure that could save him at such a crucial moment.
As a beginner at the Unity Stage, killing a Transformation Stage opponent should have been easy, yet he had failed to kill Xue Tianyi and was instead gravely injured!
“You have some guts! How dare you attack me in the Xue Family!” Xue Tianyi exclaimed in shock and anger.
This was his family’s territory, with a Virtual Immortal ancestor present. Who would have thought a lunatic would dare to assassinate him here?
Did this guy want to sign his own death warrant?
At the same time, the disturbance caught the attention of the guards of the Xue Family.
Swish, swish, swish~
Divine senses congregated from all directions, powerful auras rushing towards the scene.
“Who is causing trouble here?!”
Angry shouts echoed in succession.
Seeing the guard squad approaching, Xue Tianyi scoffed, about to say something when suddenly he felt goosebumps all over, coldness creeping down his spine.
The hat man’s aura had turned particularly frightening.
His low voice resonated like it was coming from hell, imbued with endless killing intent:
“As long as I can kill you, I don’t care if I never ascend again!!!”
Boom~
As if invoking some secret technique, Li Wujie’s blood energy burst into flames, wielding the long knife, he slashed down towards the terrified Xue Tianyi!
“Not good!”
Xue Tianyi’s scalp tingled, gripping his folding fan, preparing to block. This fan was a rare spirit tool.
In the hands of a Transformation Stage cultivator, it was definitely an over-spec weapon. In comparison, most Transformation Stage practitioners had talismans of lower quality.
Swish!
A blue glow shot out, packed with terrifying power, but was directly sliced apart by the black blade aura.
Desperately, Xue Tianyi threw out his protective treasures and talismans, hoping to buy more time, but the black blade aura, driven by the hat man, forced its way through all defenses.
“Heavenly Walking Steps!”
In a crisis, Xue Tianyi unleashed the Xue Family’s strongest body technique, seemingly piercing through the void to evade the relentless blade aura.
Pfft!
A bloodied arm flew through the air, splashing into the lake.
“Aaaaaaaaaah…” Xue Tianyi clutched his severed arm, letting out a horrifying scream.
Braving the excruciating pain, thoughts of escape spurred him to flee.
“Run? Where do you think you’re going?” The hat man’s face twisted with rage as he continued the chase with his long knife.
“Help! Somebody save me!”
Xue Tianyi was scared out of his wits.
“Don’t harm our Young Master!!”
A whole mob of guards rushed in fury.
Among them, several leaders were early Unity Stage cultivators, using all their might to intercept the audacious assassin.
“Anyone who blocks me shall die!!!” The hat man erupted with an overwhelming aura, disregarding his injuries as he carved a bloody path.
Though initially wounded by the rebound, his strength recovered significantly from using the secret technique; he was determined to kill Xue Tianyi, even at the cost of immense pain to himself.
“Quick, stop him!”
“Protect the Young Master!”
Shouts of anger filled the air, chaos ensued.
Now and then, a guard fell, corpses and severed limbs littering the ground, the stench of blood suffocating.
Boom!
Several guard leaders were knocked back several meters, gazing at the blood-drenched figure in shock.
How on earth was this madman still standing?
The hat man was heavily injured, blood dripping from him, several bones exposed, truly terrifying.
But his gaze was vicious and brutal, fixated on Xue Tianyi’s retreating back, his face contorted as he roared, “You little scoundrel, if you have the guts, don’t run! I’m going to chop you down today!”
A chilling killing intent swept over, Xue Tianyi’s face paled, his voice shook as he stammered, “Who the hell are you? I haven’t done anything to offend you! Why are you chasing me to kill?”
“Heh, you’ve sown a lot of chaos! You’ll never be able to pay it back in this life! I swear I’ll take you down. Luckily, the heavens opened my eyes and granted me this opportunity!” The hat man replied coldly.
Dragging his bloody body, he seemed like an evil spirit seeking vengeance, intent on dragging this notorious wastrel into hell with him.
“Don’t come any closer! Aaaaaah!!!” Xue Tianyi’s voice cracked in terror; he had never been this scared before.
This guy was completely insane!
Due to the commotion, the Xue Family estate was shaken awake.
“What’s going on outside? Is there a fight?”
“Who the hell is causing trouble at such an important occasion?”
“Did you hear? A killer just targeted Young Master Xue! The Xue Family guards are trying to hold him off!”
“What?! Seriously?!”
Upon hearing this, the banquet exploded into chaos, guests streaming out.
“Oh, look at this unexpected turn of events?”
Ye Junlin stroked his chin, suddenly noticing Hong Qianye’s playful expression. He smiled knowingly and said, “Little Hong, did you discover something ahead of time?”
Startled, Hong Qianye quickly lowered her head and cupped her hands, “Master, I was just speculating.”
“Hehe.”
Ye Junlin chuckled, recognizing her insight but choosing not to expose it.
After all, it was someone else’s banquet; he had initially thought it was just a simple gathering for food and boasting, but with this drama unfolding, he certainly wanted to join in.
“Bring your Junior Sister Bai along; let’s go take a look.”
Ye Junlin said casually.
“Yes!”
Hong Qianye reached out and gently tugged Bai Xiaoxi along.
“Mouse still wants to drink… still wants to drink…” Bai Xiaoxi’s face was hazy, rambling away.
At this moment.
With news of a killer attacking the young master, the Xue Family estate was thrown into turmoil.
Boom!
A terrifying wave of power surged into the sky, darkening the previously clear blue sky.
“Who dares to create chaos in my Xue Family?!!”
The Ancestor of the Xue Family appeared above the estate, eyes flashing coldly, and with a wave of his hand, an invisible force spread out.
“This is bad!”
The hat man’s face paled; no matter how hard he struggled, he was being forced further from his target.
Ultimately, he was pinned to the ground, spewing blood, spirit dimmed, gritting his teeth and murmuring, “Virtual Immortal…”
“Young Master, are you alright?”
The guards quickly surrounded a shaken Xue Tianyi, one of the Unity Stage guard leaders approached nervously.
Smack!
Xue Tianyi struck him hard across the face, leaving the leader reeling, seeing stars as he angrily shouted, “Screw you! Can’t you see I almost died? I just lost an arm! Blind dog servant!”
The man lowered his head, daring not to retort.
“And you lot, useless bunch! I’ll settle this with you later!”
Hearing this, the guards wore bitter expressions, silently cursing.
“Tianyi, what happened to you?!”
The Family Master of the Xue Family rushed in, anxiously asking.
Xue Tianyi, trembling, replied, “Father, I’m fine, just my arm…”
