Midnight Month Cold Light Yin Thunder struck his face, Ye Youqi's pupils contracted. Years of being an assassin had instilled in him a habit that made him relentless, activating his life-saving trump cards.
Buzz!
The Yin Lightning struck head-on, but was blocked by the black light emanating from his body, causing him to vanish abruptly and reappear not far from the doorway.
Even so, Ye Youqi still suffered considerable injuries.
His arm was covered with a layer of eerie blue frost; the flesh and blood had been completely frozen to death, demonstrating the domineering power of this Yin Lightning.
Ye Youqi suddenly looked up at Chen Shuangbai, his voice hoarse, and said, "You... you're actually alright?"
Chen Shuangbai smiled slightly and returned with a sword strike.
With a flick of his sleeve, the Cold Spring Green Parasol swords transformed into two streaks of light that shot out like two dragons, soaring up and down, exuding murderous intent, and heading straight for Ye Youqi's face.
Without a word, Ye Youqi turned and disappeared into a shadow, ready to flee.
If the first strike fails, they flee a thousand miles away.
This was his killer code.
But the next moment...
The shadow he transformed into crashed directly into a light barrier emitting a faint golden glow. It turned out that Chen Shuangbai had activated the Six Directions Primordial Light Formation when the other party invaded.
This formation is not for offense, but for defense.
Once the formation was activated, the courtyard was enveloped in a pale golden light shield shrouded in intricate runes.
This was precisely the method Chen Shuangbai used to cut off the retreat routes of the Ye Youqi.
Ye Youqi was hit by the light barrier and immediately retreated from the shadows. He then used the same cold smoke that had corroded the bamboo forest formation, creating an opening, and escaped once more.
Chen Shuangbai raised an eyebrow slightly.
"It's actually a treasure specifically designed to counter formations."
"Then I cannot let you live."
With a thought, a small red flag appeared in Chen Shuangbai's left palm.
It was the Flame Shadow Space-Escape Flag obtained from killing that sinister old man earlier.
This scene was discovered by Ye Youqi.
He saw Chen Shuangbai take out the small flag and felt a slight chill in his heart.
"Is it an offensive Law Artifact?"
He soon learned the function of the small red flag.
Buzz!
A crisp, clear sound of a sword ringing out rang out.
Ye Youqi, as an assassin, activated his extremely keen sense of danger. The shadow he transformed into suddenly twisted strangely, shifting slightly to the right.
The next moment.
The Cold Spring Sword fell from the sky, enveloped in cold air, slashing down and bringing with it a large expanse of frost.
Amidst the frost.
Ye Youqi emerged from the shadows once more, rolling to the side, looking somewhat disheveled, with a patch of dark red blood faintly seeping from his waist and abdomen.
He suddenly looked up, his eyes gleaming.
Because Chen Shuangbai's figure had already disappeared from the Listening to the Waves Pavilion, and then mysteriously appeared directly in front of him.
A young man dressed in a pine-frost-colored silk robe stood directly in front, holding a small red flag in his left palm. Golden runes seemed to flow on it, and a jade-like glint appeared in his Ye Youqi with a half-smile.
Around the two, two streaks of light, one blue and one green, swirled, stirring up the bamboo leaves on the ground and cutting through the bamboo thickets along their path.
The sharp sound of the sword was slowly locking onto Ye Youqi.
"If you surrender, I will spare your life," Chen Shuangbai said.
Ye Youqi took a deep breath, his voice still hoarse and indistinct, and sneered, "Want me to stay? Dream on!"
That's all.
With a flick of his left hand, a sky full of dark light flashed, transforming into countless fine needles, which rained down on Chen Shuangbai.
Chen Shuangbai frowned, her expression turning serious.
With a flick of the Flame Shadow Space-Escape Flag, his figure vanished abruptly, rendering the needle useless.
" Green Shoots Break Through Snow!"
The Green Parasol Tree Sword flew out from the bamboo forest, aiming straight for Ye Youqi, but the latter spun around, his body as supple as a snake, and dodged the attack.
Undeterred, Chen Shuangbai unleashed her spiritual sense, combining her two swords like two agile dragons, spitting out cold light as she pursued Ye Youqi, chasing him to the heavens and the earth, but he could never escape.
Ye Youqi Midnight Month Cold Light Yin Thunder, which eroded his flesh and blood. He was also pursued and entangled by two high-quality Higher Vehicle swords, which were both urgent and fierce, giving him no chance to breathe.
After a few moves, he realized that his Law Power was almost depleted.
He knew inwardly that things were bad, and that it was time to fight to the death.
With another swift movement, Ye Youqi dodged the attacks of two flying swords once more, using his uncanny, snake-like Movement Method. At the same time, he took out a pill and threw it to the ground.
After a soft sound.
Purple poisonous mist rose into the sky, covering an area of ten feet in radius.
Within this poisonous fog, sight is impaired, and even spiritual awareness is compressed and dispersed within the space.
Knowing this was his only chance, Ye Youqi spun around, forcibly suppressing his injuries, and transformed into a streak of black light, rushing straight towards Chen Shuangbai Chen Shuangbai the poisonous mist, intending to kill him.
But as he approached, he saw a pair of jade-like eyes flashing white light within the poisonous fog, staring intently at him.
"Not good!"
Ye Youqi suddenly realized something and tried to retreat.
But it was too late.
A sharp explosion rang out from within the poisonous fog, and a slender hand pierced through the fog, landing on Ye Youqi's head. In the palm of that hand was a dark blue lightning bolt crackling with silver-white electricity.
Immediately, a dazzling flash of cold light appeared, and silvery arcs of electricity crackled in all directions, creating a patch of frost on the spot. Within the frost was a humanoid figure frozen into an ice block.
Suddenly, a strong wind arose from nowhere above the bamboo forest, and Feiguang fell from the sky, its wings flapping wildly, parting the mist.
Chen Shuangbai still held the Flame Shadow Space-Escape Flag in his left hand and held the Duckweed Water Incantation in his right hand. Floating light and shadows of duckweed floated around him, which was why he was unaffected by the poisonous fog.
As for why he was able to land such a direct and clear palm strike on Ye Youqi's head... it was naturally because Chen Shuangbai's spiritual sense, cultivated using the " Moonlight Spirit-Nourishing Instruction," was superior to that of ordinary Qi Refining Stage cultivators.
Chen Shuangbai looked at Ye Youqi, who had become an ice sculpture, raised her finger and flicked it lightly, breaking it into ice shards. With a burst of Law Power, she took the Storage Bag inside.
Zhuang Wen was already waiting on the side.
He heard the commotion inside the Listening to the Waves Pavilion and rushed over.
He believed Chen Shuangbai could handle the matter, so he didn't rush in but waited aside in case anything happened.
After seeing Chen Shuangbai, his senior uncle from the sect, calmly kill the assassin, he stepped forward and bowed in respect.
"Uncle-Master, why not leave him with a whole corpse... and ask him who sent the assassin?"
Chen Shuangbai replied, "What difference does it make whether I ask or not?"
"Since I arrived here, I've only had conflicts with a handful of families. Which family hired the assassins is actually irrelevant."
"As long as they don't approach the Great Perfection of Qi Refining or the Foundation Establishment stage, I have nothing to fear."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Wen was startled, but he quickly realized that based on his senior uncle's actions and demonstrated combat prowess, it was indeed true.
Zhuang Wen bowed again, "Uncle-Master's skills are profound; this disciple admires them greatly."
