Little Hu Hai looked at him and said, "As agreed, sir, you must agree to my conditions."
The man in the green robe calmed down, his gaze darkening slightly. "Fine, speak."
Before Little Hu Hai could speak, the man in the green robe suddenly changed his expression, "Be careful!"
He shoved Ying Gao aside abruptly, and at the same time, a curved blade flew past Ying Gao's head and plunged straight into a tree trunk.
If it weren't for that push, Ying Gao's head would probably have been sliced open on the spot.
"You avoided it? What a pity?"
A mocking yet sharp voice rang out, and a woman's figure appeared, pulling a curved knife from the tree trunk.
She was a woman with a seductive figure, wearing a black snakeskin bodysuit, with a cold gaze and scarlet lips, giving off a chilling feeling.
Ying Gao stared at the curved blade, his gaze darkening, then looked at the woman's other hand.
Sure enough, he was also holding a curved sword.
Ying Gao frowned. "Mandarin Duck Blood Blades? You're Blood Kite?"
He had been traveling the martial arts world for many years, and although he had never seen Xue Yuan, he had long heard of her great name.
I had seen her weapon sketches by chance, including those of assassins like Viper, so they looked familiar at first glance. When I saw the second scimitar, it was the same, which confirmed my suspicion.
Xiao Huhai was taken aback. "Blood Kite? Who's that?"
Ying Gao's expression was solemn. "The assassin from the Shadow organization, ranked tenth."
Little Hu Hai immediately tensed up and reached out to block the little guy.
He didn't recognize Xue Yuan, but he had heard of Ying's great name in the palace, so he naturally knew what kind of terrifying being he had encountered.
Xue Yuan looked at Ying Gao with a mocking gaze, "You know me? That's not good news."
As she spoke, her gaze turned icy cold. "Because in that case, you will all die!"
Ying Gao drew his longsword and stepped forward. "You take your brother and escape. I'll hold her off!"
After saying that, he took a step forward and slashed at Xue Yuan's face with his sword.
What should have been a swift sword strike appeared clumsy against the nimble movements of the Blood Kite.
She dodged the sword with a swift movement, and then with a flash of her curved blade, a gash appeared on Ying Gao's shoulder, and blood splattered into the air.
"Blood! The blood of a young boy! It's so moving!"
Xue Yuan laughed maniacally, her eyes full of amusement.
It's like a hunter toying with his prey, watching him struggle in his death throes.
Little Hu Hai's expression tightened, "Second Brother!"
Ying Gao roared, "Run!"
He gripped his longsword tightly and slashed horizontally at Blood Kite again.
Xue Yuan leaped up to dodge the sword, and then the cold light of the curved blade flashed past, and another gash appeared on Ying Gao's back.
Ignoring the pain, he gripped his longsword and charged at Blood Kite once more.
He knew he was no match for the assassin, but he had to fight no matter what.
Only in this way could they buy their younger brothers time to escape.
The little guy frowned, watching this scene anxiously.
He wanted to help, but his body was too weak to support him taking the initiative.
However, if he stands still and his cultivation protects him, the assassin cannot harm him.
From the shadows, a black-clad figure asked softly, "Leader, shall we make a move?"
Dunruo stared intently at that direction. "Observe further. His Majesty specifically instructed that we should only take action if there is a life-threatening danger."
Xiao Huhai stood there, staring blankly at Ying Gao, who was covered in wounds from protecting him.
Past events flashed through his mind, and a feeling of helplessness and despair overwhelmed him.
His body went limp, and he collapsed to his knees, his spirit nearly broken. "Second brother... second brother..."
Just then, the man in the green robe spoke, "I still owe you one more thing."
Little Hu Hai came to his senses and looked at the man in the green robe.
The man in the green robe looked indifferently. "I can save him, if you name your conditions."
Little Hu Hai glanced at Ying Gao, who was now completely below him, his body riddled with cuts and his clothes stained red.
Blood Kite seemed to enjoy the process, and as she watched Ying Gao struggle in his death throes, she became increasingly ecstatic.
If the second brother dies, then the younger brother will also die.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Huhai looked firmly at the man in the green robe, cupped his hands and said, "Please, sir, save my second brother!"
Here, Ying Gao's sword strike was dodged once again, and Xue Yuan's figure appeared behind him like a ghost.
The blood-stained blades fell, aimed directly at Ying Gao's face.
As the blood-red blade enlarged in Ying Gao's pupils, just as it was about to strike him, a scabbard extended and solidly blocked the attack.
Xue Yuan was taken aback. She turned her head and saw the green-robed man drawing his sword.
Her eyes lit up with excitement. "Are you more energetic than him?"
The man in the green robe had a deep look in his eyes. "If you stop now and leave, you can save your life."
"Heh! Heh heh heh! Heh heh heh!"
She couldn't help but burst into laughter, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
She is Blood Kite, the tenth assassin of Shadow, a name alone enough to terrify anyone.
Her gaze turned icy. "You're definitely more reckless than him!"
After speaking, she flashed away, appearing behind the man in the green robe in the blink of an eye.
The Mandarin Duck Blood Blade shrieked and flew away, its arc sweeping towards the neck of the man in the green robe.
The man in the green robe did not turn his head. He gently raised his sheathed sword and blocked the slash solidly.
Such a rapid reaction surprised even Xue Yuan.
She realized something was wrong and dared not be careless any longer, her eyes warily scrutinizing the man in the green robe. "Who are you?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a cold glint flashed across the sky.
Sensing the terrifying sword intent, Xue Yuan's expression changed drastically, and she immediately retreated.
The man in the green robe had already drawn his sword.
She retreated several feet away, but a cut still appeared on her face, and blood slid down her fair cheek.
She frowned and carefully examined the man in the green robe in front of her.
Upon seeing the sword's appearance, her expression changed. "Yuanhong?"
"You're the Sword Saint, Gai Nie?!"
