Zhao Xueli was taken aback. "You're from the Overlord Blade Sect?"
Yang Yuanzhi licked the precious sword and chuckled wickedly, "Not bad! Surprised?"
Although he frequented brothels, he was not without caution, which allowed him to travel safely across the Xuanhuang Continent for nearly forty years.
Whenever Yang Yuanzhi had intercourse with a woman, he would always keep a portion of his attention to deal with any possible emergencies.
Zhao Xueli suddenly realized something and said, "I've heard that the Overlord Blade Sect once expelled someone!"
"That man was a notorious womanizer who practiced the evil art of absorbing yin energy to replenish yang energy. He was caught red-handed by the enforcement elder of the Overlord Blade Sect!"
"That person must be you, right?"
Zhao Xueli sneered, "So, you're nothing but a traitor to the Overlord Blade Sect, yet you dare to call yourself a member of the Overlord Blade Sect!"
Yang Yuanzhi's face darkened after being exposed, and he said in a cold voice, "Zhao Xueli, an assassin from the Burial God Alliance!"
"You know too much, you deserve to die!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a powerful blade aura slashed out, heading straight for Zhao Xueli's head.
Zhao Xueli quickly used his swords to defend, and his two swords unleashed a cross-shaped burst of sword energy.
boom!
Zhao Xueli was knocked back by the powerful blade energy, knocking over the tables and chairs behind him.
Yang Yuanzhi sneered, "You couldn't kill me when I was busy, let alone now!"
"Die!"
Zhao Xueli knew that the opportunity had been lost.
Even with his peak Transformation Realm cultivation, he was no match for a third-level Yuan Dan Realm expert.
With a whoosh, Zhao Xueli jumped out of the window.
"Trying to leave?"
Yang Yuanzhi chuckled and, disregarding his bare upper body, went out through the window.
When Lan Hua saw Zhao Xueli appear outside the window, she already knew that his assassination attempt had failed.
His right hand tightened its grip on the bowstring, his all-seeing eye fixed on the room.
Suddenly, a shirtless man leaped out, about to fly on his sword, when Lan Hua released the bowstring.
With the enhancement of the Great Strength and Swift Wind runes, the three black iron arrows unleashed a terrifying wave of energy.
Like a shooting star, it pierced the darkness, shooting in turn towards Yang Yuanzhi's head, the Tanzhong acupoint, and the lower dantian of his abdomen.
"What...another sneak attack?"
The sudden appearance of three arrows startled Yang Yuanzhi.
He never imagined that Zhao Xueli was not the only one targeted for assassination.
Moreover, he could sense that the power of these three arrows was no less than that of Zhao Xueli's two throwing knives, and perhaps even much stronger.
The timing of the three arrows was too perfect. Yang Yuanzhi was in mid-air at that moment, when his old strength was exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated.
But Yang Yuanzhi, being a Yuan Dan realm expert, in a moment of desperation, swung his long sword and barely managed to block the two black iron arrows that were aimed at his head and lower abdomen.
laugh!
The third black iron arrow pierced Yang Yuanzhi's chest, spraying blood as it shot into Yichun Courtyard.
In the rush, he managed to block two black iron arrows, but Yang Yuanzhi's right hand went numb, and his precious sword flew out of his hand.
"What a powerful arrow..."
Just as Yang Yuanzhi was about to get up after falling to the ground, two throwing knives shot towards him at high speed.
One bullet was aimed at Yang Yuanzhi's neck, and the other at his lower abdomen.
Yang Yuanzhi was seriously injured and lost his precious sword, so he had no choice but to use his palm as a sword and unleash the Heartless Sword Technique.
Several blades of energy were unleashed, barely deflecting the two flying knives, which grazed Yang Yuanzhi's neck.
Yang Yuanzhi broke out in a cold sweat.
Before he could even turn around, another black iron arrow came hurtling towards him.
The arrow, once again aimed at Yang Yuanzhi's head, arrived in the blink of an eye.
Yang Yuanzhi had no knife in his hand and dared not take the blow head-on, so he had no choice but to use his movement skills to try to dodge.
boom!
A powerful arrow pierced Yang Yuanzhi's head and blasted a large hole in the wall behind him.
"How is that possible... I clearly avoided the direction of that arrow..."
Yang Yuanzhi never figured out the reason until his death.
Lan Hua only put away the bow after seeing Yang Yuanzhi fall to the ground and die.
"My arrows are not so easy to dodge!"
"You took down four of my black iron arrows again!"
Yang Yuanzhi possessed the cultivation level of the Yuan Dan realm, and although his eyesight was exceptional, he was able to discern the trajectory of the black iron talisman arrow in the blink of an eye.
However, he was unaware that the Black Iron Arrow, infused with Lan Hua's powerful spiritual energy, had a variable trajectory.
Once your mental energy locks onto an enemy, escaping won't be so easy.
However, without Zhao Xueli's help, he was not entirely confident that he could defeat Yang Yuanzhi.
After Yang Yuanzhi died, a large number of people quickly gathered around him.
"Isn't this the guest retainer of the Shan family? How did he die such a tragic death!"
"A single arrow to the head—this killer is no ordinary person!"
The entire assassination attempt, from start to finish, took no more than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
No one knew that a powerful cultivator at the Yuan Dan realm was killed by two assassins at the Hua Yuan realm.
Lan Hua and Zhao Xueli met outside the city and exchanged knowing smiles upon seeing each other.
Zhao Xueli said, "Brother Lan, your archery skills are several times better than I imagined!"
"I was already amazed when I recommended you to the Burial God Alliance. If it weren't for you this time, I would not only have failed the assassination mission, but I would have also lost my life!"
"Anyone who becomes your enemy is truly cursed!"
Lan Hua modestly replied, "Brother Zhao, you flatter me. Your sword control skills are equally impressive; taking a person's head from a hundred feet away is not difficult for you!"
"Brother Lan has really done me a huge favor this time!"
After saying that, Zhao Xueli waved his right hand and took out a piece of strange iron.
The strange iron gleamed with golden light, and Zhao Xueli held it in his hand with great care.
When Lan Hua saw this strange iron, she immediately felt a sense of familiarity!
"Zhenyuan Jin!"
Zhao Xueli exclaimed, "Brother Lan, do you recognize this?"
Lan Hua laughed and said, "That's right, I've used arrows made from it before, and they're very effective!"
"This gold will explode when it comes into contact with elemental energy, so you think it's useful?"
Lan Hua nodded with a smile, and then explained how to use the item.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xueli was taken aback and said, "This gold is my reward for the last mission; it's useless to me!"
"Here you go, consider it a thank you fee for helping me this time, Brother Lan!"
"Then I won't be polite!"
Just as Lan Hua accepted the Zhenyuan Gold, Zhao Xueli took out another item and said, "This is the Flowing Cloud Iron; consider it the reward for this assassination!"
"I'm already very satisfied with Zhenyuan Gold. I absolutely cannot accept this Liuyun Qitie!" Lan Hua shook her head and said.
Zhao Xueli stuffed the Flowing Cloud Iron into Lan Hua's hand and laughed:
"This is an essential quality for an assassin; you must accept it. Besides, this piece of rare iron isn't of much use to me!"
Lan Hua had no choice but to comply.
Zhao Xueli said, "For the next period of time, I will be suspending my missions!"
Why is that?
"I feel that the day of breaking through to a higher realm is approaching, so I plan to go into seclusion to break through!"
Lan Hua smiled and said, "This is a good thing!"
He remembered that he still had a Breakthrough Pill, so he took one out.
"This is a Breakthrough Pill. Brother Zhao should have plenty, but this is a token of my appreciation!"
"Thanks!"
Before parting, Zhao Xueli added, "There's another reason why I plan to suspend the mission!"
"I've sensed something unusual lately. The Burial God Alliance may soon face some changes; something big is about to happen. Brother Lan, be careful!"
Lan Hua asked curiously, "What major event could happen?"
Zhao Xueli shook his head, "It could be a bloodbath!"
