The two-courtyard house was right next to the Mysterious Armament Pavilion's main storeroom. At the moment, there were guards patrolling near the storeroom, but to facilitate the entry and exit of their accomplices, there were no sentries outside the house.
Under the moonlight, one could see that the courtyard wall was seven feet high, built of bluestone, and the elm wood gate had no elaborate carvings, with the copper rings worn smooth and shiny.
Ye Xingge, carrying the Fate-Robbing Saber, arrived at the gate. After Great Beauty, who was keeping watch from a high place, confirmed that there were no axemen behind the gate, he no longer suppressed his voice and took a few steps forward to knock on the courtyard gate.
Thump thump thump...
The crisp, firm knocking sounded very clearly in the night.
The disciples outside the large storehouse not far away all turned their heads, but because they were knocking normally and it was dark and they couldn't see each other clearly, they didn't immediately shout and rush over, but just peeked out to take a look.
In the deathly silent courtyard, after a moment of silence, the sound of a door opening and voices came from the backyard:
Who is it?
Squeak~
Ye Xingge responded in a gruff voice:
"Master, a young swordsman just came to town and started a fight. He's young but incredibly skilled in martial arts, and he's carrying a knife. I'm wondering if he could be Ye Grand Duke Jupiter from Yongzhou..."
"Um?"
In the backyard, He Lin had just stepped out of the room when he heard this. He frowned, glanced in the direction of Stone Furnace Town, and then went to the door:
What did that person look like? Where is he now?
Squeak~
As they were speaking, the courtyard gate opened.
He Lin looked up and saw a swordsman in a bamboo hat standing outside.
The swordsman was tall and slender, dressed only in a gray-white robe, with a black-sheathed sword in his left hand.
Beneath the bamboo hat, her face was framed by eyebrows as if cut from clouds, eyes as bright as stars, and a clear and gentle expression.
Overall, it looks like a tiger or wolf ready to devour its prey...
"Hiss..."
He Lin's attention was drawn to the words, and he didn't realize that danger was approaching. The moment he saw who was outside the door, his eyes turned to horror. He immediately retreated and tried to reach for the sword at his waist, but it was too late!
Clang--
A crisp whistling sound rang out, followed by a dark red flash of light under the cold moon!
Ye Xingge gave He Lin no chance to react, sweeping his sword across three feet in front of him, decapitating him. He then retreated, throwing two "Heavenly Maiden Scatters Flowers" towards the doorway.
" Heart Moon Fox!"
At the same moment the blade was drawn, three figures darted out of the main house in the backyard.
Zhao Jintang, peering through the porch, caught a glimpse of a dark red blade flashing outside the door, his eyes widening in astonishment.
" The Fate-Robbing Saber?!"
Neck Metal Dragon Lu Ye were clearly not expecting that Ye Xingge would come knocking on their door so soon after they sent out the bait.
Although the Mysterious Armament Pavilion leader was still alive, the three of them could kill Ye Xingge without needing a second strike.
The moment he realized who it was, Zhao Jintang pressed forward.
But Ye Xingge, fled after striking with his sword.
Hearing the commotion, the three burst through the door and were met with a deafening roar, followed by a blinding flash of light, erupting from above the courtyard.
Boom--
Then, hundreds of needles, as fine as hair, rained down on every corner of the courtyard.
The Heavenly Maiden Scatters Flowers" attack exploded in the air, causing damage from almost every angle. The three people in the courtyard would have been hit without any cover.
However, the Return to Origin Cult has suffered several major losses in a row, and this time it's like a lion hunting a rabbit!
Zhao Jintang, as the leader of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon, ranked fifty-eighth in the Second Rank, and was even stronger than Ruan Jinyu. Seeing the Heavenly Maiden Scatters Flowers scattering flowers into the courtyard, he immediately waved his sleeves:
Thud--
With a muffled thud, the powerful internal energy generated a strong wind that stirred up an invisible wave in the inner courtyard, like a raging dragon sweeping its tail. In an instant, it cleared away all the clutter in the inner courtyard, even blowing away and shattering the tiles on the passageway door.
The countless flying needles, as thin as hair, were swept up by the strong wind and instantly turned into turbulent currents as they flew seven feet away from the three people, surging towards the front yard wall.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Outside the courtyard gate.
Knowing there was a powerful enemy in the house, Ye Xingge didn't even turn his head. He threw out the Heavenly Maiden Scatters Flowers Scattering Flowers and activated the Wind-Traveling Talisman, rushing towards the Great Beauty Luo. By the time the explosion rang out, he had already rushed more than ten feet away.
Luo Xuanqing had already moved closer and saw Ye Xingge as soon as he opened the door, and even reminded ' Heart Moon Fox '. He understood the situation and immediately rushed to her aid.
But the momentum of the Return to Origin Cult's arrival truly exceeded her expectations.
rustling sound--
The aftershocks of the explosion had not yet subsided, and countless flying needles were still shooting outwards.
Three figures dressed in cloaks leaped out of the stone wall like eagles soaring through the sky, soaring into the air from the aftershocks.
The leader soared more than six zhang into the air, appearing from a distance as if he were overlapping with the silver moon in the sky.
The remaining two also had their cloaks fluttering, displaying impressive presence. Just by looking at their formation, you could tell that Horn Wood Flood Dragon and Neck Metal Dragon had both arrived.
The leader Horn Wood Flood Dragon, was clearly Second Rank expert. He leaped into the air and then thrust his hands forward.
Whoosh~
The two throwing knives, like shuttles in the sky, shot straight towards the earth, their spiraling ripples visible even under the moonlight, their target the straw-hatted wanderer who was frantically escaping close to the ground.
To avoid revealing his true abilities, Zhao Jintang didn't even use his real skills; he relied solely on sheer force.
Even so, the difference between the middle-ranked Second Rank and the bottom-ranked Third Rank is comparable to the difference between immortals and mortals.
The throwing knife flew out with a speed no less than that of a fully drawn Dark Green Bow; before the sound even arrived, the knife was already behind Ye Xingge.
Luo Xuanqing's eyes widened in horror at the sight, and almost simultaneously he raised his wrist, sending a blue flying knife flying out from his sleeve.
If it were at his peak, Luo Xuanqing could have killed these three people in an instant, but his power was reduced to one-tenth. Even though he was closer and could predict the trajectory of the projectiles in advance, he still managed to miss one of the throwing knives.
When Ye Xingge, Hongyu was already on high alert, acting as an observer. She noticed Horn Wood Flood Dragon leaping into the air and made a move, and had already warned him:
Get out of the way!
But from the moment someone speaks to the moment they hear something, and then to the moment they react, there's simply not enough time.
Logically, Ye Xingge and fleeing wildly, unable to make a sound, so he wouldn't be able to evade.
Realizing he couldn't get help in time, Luo Xuanqing gritted his teeth and pressed himself forward at full speed.
But to her surprise, this boy's combat skills were far superior to what she had imagined.
Ye Xingge relied on the Wind-Traveling Talisman escape at full speed. He didn't scout the situation behind him, but he could see the Great Beauty Luo.
Upon noticing the sudden change in Great Beauty Luo's expression and her intention to make a move, he had already gripped his left hand and thrust the ' Ravine-Leaping Tiger ' sword into the air to the side!
Sa--
A flash of silver light appeared under the moonlight.
Without warning, Ye Xingge shifted three steps to the side, and in the next instant, the throwing knife shot into the muddy ground to his side with the force of a large-caliber cannon, blasting a crater the size of a washbasin into the ground.
If shot directly onto the body, even someone wearing soft armor would likely be pierced through.
Ye Xingge caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye and felt quite terrified, but his movements were still methodical. As he dodged, he threw out a smoke bomb and rolled behind the pile of ore.
Boom boom--
As Zhao Jintang's attack missed and he fell, he threw two more throwing knives, one towards Luo Xuanqing who was coming to his aid, and the other towards Ye Xingge in the thick smoke.
But the throwing knife pierced through the smoke and struck the iron ore, only blasting out countless fragments.
Facing the incoming flying knife, Luo Xuanqing simply ducked ahead to avoid it, rushed in front of Ye Xingge, grabbed Ye Xingge's shoulder, and flew backwards using the debris as cover, while his left hand gently hooked.
Swoosh~
Luo Xuanqing's cyan flying knife has the special effect of [ Chase Shadows and Seek Traces ], which can lock onto heads at will. In short, it is his natal flying sword.
The reason why two famous weapons can only be replaced is because throwing knives must be thrown out; if they are removed from the body, they are unbound and cannot be used.
With a flick of his finger, the cyan throwing knife, which had been deflected, drew an arc in the night sky and shot toward Li Wangchao, the weakest of the three, as fast as a shuttle.
Li Wangchao was ranked in the lower middle of the Third Rank. Even if Flower Judge's skill was reduced to one-tenth, he would not dare to take the attack head-on. His eyes were filled with horror upon seeing this.
To prevent casualties, Zhao Jintang could only sweep his left hand away, using his sleeve to deflect the throwing knife.
Whoosh whoosh~
Blue throwing knives darted around the three of them.
Although they failed to injure anyone, the harassment made it difficult for Zhao Jintang to make a move, and the three of them landed on the river outside the warehouse.
The deafening commotion of the Heavenly Maiden Scatters Flowers scattering flowers" exploded at the entrance of the Mysterious Armament Pavilion Mysterious Armament Pavilion, and anyone with thousands of members who weren't blind could react to it.
Almost at the same time the loud explosion occurred, several figures emerged from a cluster of brightly lit buildings several miles away.
The most imposing person in the core area was a beautiful woman dressed in a loungewear dress.
The moment it appeared, it transformed into a long rainbow under the moon, even faintly carrying flames, flying over from inside the Mysterious Armament Pavilion. From a distance, it looked like a phoenix spreading across the plains, or perhaps Deathwing!
"Holy crap?"
Because Three Feet One and Great Beauty had fought to the death, Ye Xingge was witnessing for the first time what kind of force Second Rank- class player would unleash, and his eyes widened in surprise as he ran.
Luo Xuanqing breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Wen Zhuohua arrive and announced loudly:
" Heaven-Observing Pavilion Luo Xuanqing, it is the Return to Origin Cult causing trouble here."
Return to Origin Cult is a public enemy of the martial arts world, and sword-forging sects such as Mysterious Armament Pavilion have been the hardest hit by its attacks.
Wen Zhuohua was about to shout, "Who dares to cause trouble here?" but upon hearing Luo Xuanqing's foxy voice, his eyes immediately darkened, and he flew directly towards the three cloaked sluts.
Seeing this, Zhao Jintang knew he had no chance of succeeding again, and immediately flew towards the riverbank.
"Walk!"
Lu Ye and Li Wangchao were unable to catch up with Zhao Jintang or shake off the Mysterious Armament Pavilion leader. To prevent being forced to stay behind if they went together, they immediately split into three groups and fled to different parts of Jiangye.
Seeing this, Luo Xuanqing chased after the two on the riverbank:
"You go after the Horn Wood Flood Dragon, leave the rest to me."
These words were clearly not meant for Ye Xingge.
Wen Zhuohua and, upon hearing the sound, immediately chased after the surging river.
Ye Xingge saw that Mysterious Armament Pavilion had come out in full force to attack, and was even worried that he would lose a kill.
After all, these three have all spent two years cultivating their skills, and in the Divine Weapon Competition, if he doesn't get any assists, there will be no reward for posthumously punishing him.
Therefore, Ye Xingge disregarded the difference in strength and roared:
"Keep a breath!"
As he spoke, he raised the Fate-Robbing Saber and charged forward. Halfway through, the three-foot-long blade gradually changed, revealing a dragon-swallowing-the-moon pattern under the moonlight!
Luo Xuanqing lightly touched the ground with his toes and was already in front of Ye Xingge, briefly glancing at the two fleeing individuals:
"Go after the one on the left, but don't rush in. Hold him off until I get there."
Sa--
Having said that, Luo Xuanqing moved like a shuttle, chasing after the stronger Neck Metal Dragon.
Lu Ye had no intention of lingering in the fight; he fled for his life and disappeared from the riverbank in the blink of an eye.
Li Wangchao initially fled at full speed, but after rushing into the poplar grove by the river, he was surprised to find that Ye Xingge had chased after him alone!
Li Wangchao ranked 260th in the Third Rank. If calculated according to yesterday morning's Gold List, Li Wangchao was nearly 140 places higher than Ye Xingge.
As for today's Gold List, Leopard from the Beijing office is dead, and Li Wangchao has not yet received the news.
Even after defeating Shangjin Ferry, he should still be ranked 60 or 70 places higher. This gap is so large that brute force can overcome ten techniques. Moreover, he did not reveal his identity, using covert tactics against overt ones.
The Fate-Robbing Saber...
The next Gold-Chasing Gentleman...
Li Wangchao's greed and lust were clearly rising. Looking back, he saw that the rest of the Mysterious Armament Pavilion's men were quite far away, so he immediately sped off into the depths of the dense forest...
