Assassins are defined by their mission to kill their targets, and they will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
It's perfectly reasonable that these assassins used various hidden weapons.
Logically, they should have been lying in wait in the shadows, ready to ambush Ye Xuan.
However, due to the exposure of the first black-faced person and their reliance on their superior cultivation level compared to Ye Xuan, they chose to kill him by force.
The eight black-faced figures launched various hidden weapons at Ye Xuan almost simultaneously, creating a devastating barrage that completely blocked all of Ye Xuan's escape routes.
Furthermore, the hidden weapons were all coated with potent poison. If Ye Xuan were hit by them, even with his Sacred Body, they could still have some effect in the short term, such as paralyzing Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan did not turn around to look at the hidden weapons, but instead clearly captured their movement trajectories through his Absolute Domain.
Through his Absolute Domain, he could clearly see the trajectory of every throwing knife, and even every poison needle.
It must be said, the assassins from Listening to Rain Tower are truly vicious.
They had no intention of leaving anyone alive; their targets were all aimed at Ye Xuan's vital points, and they moved extremely quickly.
Without Absolute Domain, without Divine Eyes, even if Ye Xuan possessed the Soaring Wandering Dragon Steps obtained from system check-ins, he would likely find it difficult to dodge such an overwhelming barrage of hidden weapons.
But now, he possesses two life-saving methods: the Absolute Domain and the Divine Eyes.
"Burst!"
Ye Xuan's mind stirred.
In an instant.
Boom boom boom!
More than ten meters behind him, the ground suddenly cracked open, sending countless pieces of earth and rocks flying everywhere.
The earth and rocks, imbued with boundless and violent Spiritual Qi, flew up and blasted directly at the incoming hidden weapons.
Bang bang bang!
Another series of explosions followed, and many throwing knives, poison needles, and other concealed weapons were hit by the earth and rocks. Although most of them were not knocked down, they were all deviated from their original trajectories.
Ye Xuan did not stop there. With another thought, he suddenly stirred up a series of Gale within the Absolute Domain.
Gale howled, whipping up large clouds of dust that not only obscured the vision of the seven masked figures but also forcefully deflected the trajectories of the hidden weapons once again.
After doing all this, Ye Xuan stopped worrying about the hidden weapons behind him and quickly looked at the black-faced man in front of him, as well as the flying knives that were shooting towards him at high speed.
At this moment, there was only one black-faced figure in front of Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan's plan was precisely to break through from here, escape the encirclement, and get far away from this place.
This dark-faced man's cultivation was at the Origin Mansion Realm Late Stage. Leaving aside the fact that Ye Xuan didn't have absolute confidence in killing him in a short time, even if he did have that confidence, he didn't intend to do so.
After all, there were still seven masked men behind him. If he were to fight the guy in front of him, it would inevitably affect his speed, giving the seven men behind him an opportunity to catch up quickly.
The Origin Mansion Realm Late Stage is no joke; their speed is definitely much faster than that of the Heavenly Position Realm cultivator.
If he were to be besieged again, even with his extraordinary abilities, he would likely be forced to don Sacred Armor and become a tortoise.
That's not something Ye Xuan wants to see.
A strange purple light appeared in Ye Xuan's eyes, and his Divine Eyes opened instantly, reaching their maximum potential.
With the help of his Divine Eyes, Ye Xuan could clearly see the trajectory of the throwing knives in front of him and their weaknesses.
That's not the most crucial point. The most crucial point is that the speed of those throwing knives seemed to have slowed down under the influence of the Divine Eyes.
" Wandering Dragon Steps!"
Ye Xuan clearly noticed the flaws in those throwing knives.
He wasted no time, letting out a low roar as his Spiritual Qi surged forth.
With a loud bang, the ground shook violently, and he vanished from his spot.
"Not good!"
The dark-faced man in front noticed this and his expression changed drastically.
However, by the time he came to his senses, Ye Xuan had already vanished.
That's right, Ye Xuan did indeed disappear before his eyes, in just a moment, in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, Ye Xuan narrowly escaped through the gaps in the throwing knives and arrived behind the man in black in the blink of an eye.
Almost the instant he reached the man in black, Ye Xuan's Spiritual Qi began to surge wildly. His right leg first stretched forward suddenly, then swung violently backward.
With a whoosh, a sharp gust of wind tore through the air, creating a series of explosive sounds.
The dark-faced man felt a sharp gust of wind, and his whole body went cold, as if his back was about to be ripped apart.
However, his reaction was not slow either. His Spiritual Qi surged wildly, and the aura of the Origin Mansion Realm Seventh Layer was released.
Almost the instant he unleashed his aura, he suddenly shifted to the left, but he was still a step too late.
With a loud bang, Ye Xuan slammed his foot down on the black-faced man's right shoulder. A burst of violent Spiritual Qi exploded from Ye Xuan's toe on the man's right shoulder.
"Ah--"
The dark-faced man couldn't help but cry out in pain, his entire body momentarily unsteady as he was kicked away.
Ye Xuan did not continue his attack, nor did he even turn around. Instead, he used the force of the rebound to propel himself away like a cannonball.
He had already sensed that something was wrong.
From the moment the first black-faced figure appeared until now, although not much time has passed, it has been at least almost a minute.
But so much time has passed, and not only has Han Bingning not come, but Chu Rufeng and the others have also not appeared. Something is definitely not right.
Han Bingning's situation could perhaps be seen as a test for him, which is why he didn't act immediately.
But Chu Rufeng hasn't shown up for so long, which is a bit problematic.
Ye Xuan unleashed his maximum speed, swiftly leaping forward.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before he sensed the fluctuations of a great battle.
Without hesitation, Ye Xuan rushed towards that direction and soon saw the two sides locked in battle.
Two silver-masked men and dozens of black-masked men were frantically attacking Chu Rufeng and his group.
Amidst a series of booming sounds, the violent Spiritual Qi went berserk, causing earth and rocks to explode, smoke and dust to rise, sand and gravel to fly, and mountains to shake.
At this moment, Chu Rufeng and his group were all in very bad condition. Many of them had been injured, and there were even several corpses lying on the ground.
"Big brother!"
Chu Rufeng was attacking a dark-faced man with others when he suddenly saw Ye Xuan.
The moment he saw Ye Xuan, his eyes reddened, and he couldn't help but roar.
"Go, go, don't worry about us!"
Upon seeing Ye Xuan appear, Chu Rufeng went berserk, his attacks suddenly becoming ferocious, and he roared hysterically once again.
He knew perfectly well that the target of these silver-masked and black-masked people was Ye Xuan, not them at all.
Therefore, when these assassins deal with them, they may not be willing to fight to the death, or they may hold back, with the aim of simply keeping them occupied.
But against Ye Xuan, that would be absolutely out of the question.
Ye Xuan was slightly taken aback when he heard Chu Rufeng's words, but he did not leave immediately.
Suddenly, his aura surged, and a terrifying pressure swept down, dispersing a large cloud of dust.
Ye Xuan looked at the silver-masked and black-masked figures and said calmly, "You rats of Listening to Rain Tower, I, the Holy Son, am right here. If you have the guts, come and kill me!"
As soon as the words fell, Ye Xuan's figure arced through the air and quickly left the scene.
It wasn't that he was unwilling to help Chu Rufeng and his group, but rather that he knew their target was him Ye Xuan.
If he stays there to fight to the death, the only possible outcome is that everyone dies.
After all, Listening to Rain Tower would kill him without any hesitation.
Chu Rufeng and his group wanted to protect him, which would be very dangerous.
However, if he were to expose his identity and choose to flee, he would attract enemy fire.
At that time, those assassins from Listening to Rain Tower will definitely spare no effort to abandon Chu Rufeng and his group in pursuit of Ye Xuan.
In that way, they would bear all the danger themselves, and Chu Rufeng and his group would be safe.
In fact, for Ye Xuan at this moment, this was the best course of action.
Because Ye Xuan possesses various skills, his chances of survival would be much greater if he were alone.
Conversely, if they were to join Chu Rufeng's group, they would be hesitant and timid, and ultimately, they would likely be wiped out.
Sure enough, the Listening to Rain Tower assassins who were fighting Chu Rufeng and his group were stunned when they saw Ye Xuan appear.
When they saw Ye Xuan actually escape, they instantly came to their senses.
They didn't hesitate at all.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
In an instant, they swiftly soared through the air, leaving Chu Rufeng and his group behind, and then rushed towards the direction Ye Xuan had gone.
Their mission was to capture Ye Xuan. The reason they had previously held off Chu Rufeng and his group was to create an opportunity for the eight masked men.
But who would have thought that those eight black-faced men were such useless fools? Not only did Ye Xuan manage to kill them, but he also managed to kill them without a scratch.
