Unfortunately, the Spirit-Catching Ring can only capture one target.

Otherwise, he would definitely capture both assassins and make them his subordinates!

"Go, kill him!"

Gao Yan gave orders to An Qi.

"brush!"

Dark Seven, who had been in a state of weeds, transformed back into human form. In a flash, he appeared in front of Dark Eight, who had turned into stone, with a short sword in his hand. He then slashed down at the stone!

Startled, Anba immediately reverted to human form and retreated, while simultaneously unleashing a supernatural power that conjured dozens of identical bodies!

The two came from the same place and their supernatural abilities were almost identical.

Therefore, Dark Seven instantly captured Dark Eight's true form. With a flick of his short sword, hundreds of extremely sharp sword energies burst forth, slicing one of the figures into dust.

"Dark Seven, what are you doing? Do you want to become a traitor?!"

Hundreds of meters away, An Ba's figure reappeared, but a look of relief flashed across his face. If he hadn't had the ability to take someone else's place, he would have died just now!

However, the substitution technique is also limited in its use; he can only use it a maximum of three times.

After three uses, it will take at least ten years before it can be used again!

"Die!"

Dark Seven completely ignored what Dark Eight was saying.

With a swift movement, hundreds of identical Dark Sevens appeared around him, and at the same time, they swung their short swords and attacked Dark Eight!

Damn it!

Anba cursed loudly, saying that Anqi's Phantom Clone technique was even higher than his own, and all the clones he summoned had reached 70% of the original body's strength, while he could only summon a maximum of 32 clones with 50% of the original body's strength!

So he chose to use his supernatural powers to escape.

The void in front of him distorted, and then Anba disappeared from the spot!

Unfortunately, his enemy was Dark Seven.

Therefore, his supernatural power could deceive the other Taiyi Immortals, but it could not deceive Anqi.

"Puff puff puff!"

Dark Seven's twelve phantom clones simultaneously slashed a sword at a certain void, splitting the void open, and then a disheveled figure escaped from it!

Just then.

Dark Seven's true form moved.

He took a step forward, reaching tens of thousands of meters away, and threw a punch at the void in front of him. Instantly, the void within a radius of several hundred meters was completely shattered.

At the same time, a figure fell out from it.

It was Dark Eight.

As for the one from before, it was just his phantom clone, used specifically to deceive people.

However, Anba did not give up and instead used other methods to continue his escape.

Meanwhile, Anqi kept cracking his methods, waiting for his opponent to run out of options.

Gao Yan, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, was secretly amazed. The two Taiyi Immortal assassins had too many tricks up their sleeves, making him feel overwhelmed.

Half an hour later.

Dark Seven finally managed to kill his opponent by virtue of his two-level advantage over Dark Eight!

With a swift reach, a storage ring landed in Gao Yan's hand.

To Gao Yan's disappointment...

Anba's storage ring contained only a few million immortal stones.

So he asked An Qi, "He's at least a fifth-level Taiyi Immortal, how come he only has this few immortal stones?"

Anqi said, "Master, the place where we live has a super-large spirit-gathering immortal array, so we don't need immortal stones at all."

"I see!" Gao Yan nodded and asked, "Who sent you to kill me?"

"I'm sorry, Master, I can't tell!"

Anqi shook his head.

What if I insist you say it?

Gao Yan said in a deep voice.

An Qi said, "Master, there is a restriction left by a Grand Luo expert on my immortal soul. If you insist on telling me, then the restriction will be triggered, causing my immortal soul to self-destruct!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yan frowned and began to communicate with the Spirit-Capturing Immortal Ring to see if he could remove the restriction on the other party's immortal soul.

The Spirit-Catching Immortal Ring sent back a message indicating that Dark Seven was now completely under its control and the restriction could be lifted!

"Release his restraints!"

Therefore, Gao Yan gave the order to capture the spirit ring.

Immediately afterwards, 50% of the immortal power in Gao Yan's body was drained away.

"Wow!"

Gao Yan was startled, but he quickly realized that it was a restriction set up by a Great Immortal, so it was normal for it to consume more energy!

Soon, the restrictions on the Dark Seven Immortal Souls were lifted.

Gao Yan told An Qi not to resist, then split off a soul seed and injected it into his immortal soul to read his memories.

The memory was retrieved successfully very quickly.

Gao Yan then directly began to observe the other person's memories.

However, after reviewing the memories, Gao Yan's brows furrowed.

This Dark Seven is actually a death squad trained by Zhan Tai Tu, one of the elders of Yaochi Heavenly Palace!

There are nine assassins in total.

Among them, the leader of the assassins, Dark Sorrow, is the strongest, having reached the ninth level of the Taiyi Immortal realm.

The other eight assassins are Dark One to Dark Eight. Dark One, Dark Two, and Dark Three have all reached the ninth level of Taiyi Immortal, but they are all far behind Dark Sorrow.

As for why Zhan Taiba sent assassins to kill him, An Qi had no idea.

Because they are just following orders!

"Damn it, why would the elders of Yaochi Heavenly Palace want to assassinate me?"

Gao Yan was very frustrated. Could it be that Ling Luo was injured because there was a traitor in the Great Luo Heavenly Palace? After he picked up Ling Luo, he ruined the other party's plan, which led to the other party sending someone to assassinate him?

Thinking about this made Gao Yan feel very uncomfortable.

After he picked up Lingluo, he not only didn't gain any benefit, but also got himself into a lot of trouble!

"Grass!"

He cursed under his breath, "I should have never picked up that spirit orchid!"

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

Although he escaped this time, he dared not be careless. Every day, he would use his precognitive abilities to predict the future, so as to prevent the other party from sending assassins to kill him again.
