Chapter 98 Counterattack
Ye Luo suddenly touched her neck, her forehead covered in a cold sweat.
Looking at the ribbons surrounding him, he couldn't help but feel a little fortunate. If it weren't for the Moon Silkworm Silk that Jun Yi had given him, he would have been beheaded today.
"Damn it!" Ye Luo roared angrily, using his telekinesis to control the flying blades to attack. Taking advantage of the man's momentary lapse in concentration, he successfully delivered a finishing blow.
Eight flying blades, gleaming with an eerie light, instantly pierced the neck of the black-clad assassin, spurting out crimson blood that stained the street below.
"Brother Ye!" Ling Shu finally realized what was happening, and her face turned deathly pale.
When the people on the street saw that there were people fighting, they were afraid of being caught in the crossfire and scattered in all directions, and the scene immediately became chaotic.
Ye Luo's expression turned solemn as he scanned the surrounding area with his divine sense. He discovered several other groups of menacing auras, indicating that these people were clearly targeting him.
"Take Lan Yu and leave quickly, then go to the lakeside to look for people. The people from the Illusionary Sound Sect are with my senior brother and the others!"
"Okay, I'll go get someone. Be careful!"
Ling Shu summoned the spirit tiger and pulled Lan Yu onto it. Just as they were about to run forward, a man in black blocked their way.
Seeing this, Ye Luo threw several talismans at him, then summoned the Dragon Bone Whip and swung it fiercely, allowing Ling Shu to escape the encirclement smoothly.
"Your target is me, why waste your time on them? If the Immortal Alliance finds out, do you think you can escape?"
"Kid, are you really not afraid of death?"
"Of course I'm scared! Who isn't afraid of death?"
Looking at these assassins, Ye Luo noticed that besides seven or eight Nascent Soul stage cultivators, there were also quite a few Core Formation stage cultivators. His expression grew increasingly serious, and he quietly turned off his watch-like magical artifact.
These people are probably no match for anyone except the eldest brother. He absolutely cannot let them take risks. He can only try to stall for time until the guards of the Immortal Alliance arrive.
"Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?"
"We are from the City of Ten Thousand Sins. Remember to settle your scores when you go to reincarnation!" After saying that, the group of people, armed with magical weapons, charged towards Ye Luo.
Seeing this, Ye Luo activated the Decagonal Prism Wind System and used the Wind and Thunder Technique to disappear in a flash, leaving behind several astonished assassins.
"Damn it, what are you all standing there for? Hurry up and chase after them!"

"Lakeside! Lakeside!"
Ling Shu was on the verge of tears; she had absolutely no idea where the lake was!
"Where is the lake?! Waaaaah!"
"Ling Shu!"
Just then, Shi Li and Yu Xuan saw the commotion and rushed over. "What happened?"
"It's Ye Luo! He's being chased by a lot of people over there!"
Yu Xuan frowned and asked, "How many assassins?"
"There seem to be more than ten people, and some of them are even Nascent Soul stage cultivators!"
Ling Shu was so anxious she was jumping up and down. "Quickly, go to that lake and tell the people in Peach Blossom Valley! I don't know where that lake is!"
"Don't worry, I know where it is, I'll take you there!" Shi Li carried the terrified Lan Yu on his back, flew up on his sword, and shouted, "Come with me quickly!"
"Who is so bold as to commit such a heinous act here?" Yu Xuan's face turned solemn. After thinking for a moment, he quickly flew away on his sword. He had to report this matter to the alliance as soon as possible.
Guided by Shi Li, Ling Shu finally found Fuliu Lake in no time, and shouted, "Hey! Senior brothers and sisters of Peach Blossom Valley, Ye Luo is being chased and killed. Go and save him quickly!"
The group of people who were chatting suddenly changed their expressions and flew towards the shore.
Nan Muyin asked in a deep voice, "Where?"
Ling Shu said in a trembling voice, "He told me to take Lan Yu and escape first on the main street!"
Upon hearing this, Nan Muyin and the others turned grim and charged off on their swords in that direction with menacing air.
Shi Li's face was full of anxiety. He turned around and shrugged, "Hey, you guys hurry up and take her over, I have to go check on her!"
Thank you!
Ji Xuan took the frightened Lan Yu from her and kept comforting her. Looking in the direction the group had left, she murmured, "I hope they're all alright."
"Where do you think you're going, kid!"
"Only a fool wouldn't run!"
Ye Luo was panting heavily, cursing inwardly. With such a commotion, did the people of the Immortal Alliance not notice?
Could it be...?
Ye Luo suddenly had a bad feeling, and her face became serious.
Just as he was lost in thought, the stone wall in front of him was suddenly pierced through, and a burst of spiritual energy struck him hard.
Ye Luo felt a dull pain in her chest, and was sent flying backward, crashing into the wall, spitting out a mouthful of bright red blood.
"Kid, you're pretty fast!" the assassin in black said, panting.
Ye Luo touched her aching chest and hissed as she breathed, "It's alright... it's just that you guys are too useless."
"Even when you're about to die, you're still being stubborn."
"I'm about to die, can't I even have a moment to vent?"
A glint of light appeared in Ye Luo's eyes as he smiled and said, "Or... can I negotiate the terms for my survival?"
"That won't do."
Even spirit stones won't work?
The leader of the black-clad assassins gleamed with calculation and chuckled, "That depends on how much you're willing to give."
Ye Luo smiled and casually tossed several boxes of spirit stones onto the ground, and sure enough, they saw greed on their faces.
Is this enough?
The leader of the black-clad assassins stopped laughing and said coldly, "That's still a bit lacking."
"Alright, then I'll have to bring out my most treasured possession."
Ye Luo's face showed heartache as she tossed a box between them and sighed, "This box contains priceless treasures, each one worth at least a million spirit stones!"
"Oh, really?"
The leader of the black-clad assassins grinned and strode toward the box. But when he suddenly opened it, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Get out of the way!"
"Bang bang bang—!"
With a deafening roar, an entire box of Heavenly Thunder Seeds and Chaos Pearls exploded.
The black-clad assassins who were closer were caught off guard and blown to pieces. Those in the Core Formation stage died instantly, while those in the Nascent Soul stage barely managed to preserve their Nascent Soul bodies.
"Damn it! We've fallen for their trap!" The remaining assassins in black cursed incessantly, their faces filled with horror as they stared at the deep crater created by the explosion.
Blood trickled from the corner of the mouth of the leader of the black-clad assassins. Seeing the horrific state of his men, he was instantly enraged. "Boy, I'm going to skin you alive!"
"Cough cough..." Although Ye Luo was far away, he was still injured by the aftershocks of the explosion. Flying debris cut his forehead, and blood gushed out, staining his entire face red.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, leaned against the rock wall, and sneered, "How did you, with your pig brain, manage to reach the Nascent Soul stage? It's a real shame you weren't blown up."
The black-clad assassin's eyes were bloodshot. He hadn't expected to be mocked like this, and he roared, "You bastard, die!"
