Chapter 71: The Black Robed Assassin (Part 6)

  Lin Xi's sword was as swift as lightning, flashing in and out of sight. Like a deer hanging its horns, it left no trace. He Wei didn't even feel any pain, thinking he had dodged the sword when he flew out.

  Lin Xi and Shangguan Yaoyue chatted with He Wei in a leisurely manner, not afraid that he would escape. It was because they knew that he was already doomed and couldn't escape anyway.

  It's said that the martial artist of the tenth rank has an extremely strong life force. When Lin Xi killed the ninth-rank Dragon Power Elder, he spoke several sentences before dying.

  He Wei's strength was even higher than that of the Long Wang elder. Also because of this reason, his heart shattered without him noticing, or rather, the immense pain had numbed him to the point where he didn't feel anything, including the loss of his own heart.

  "I actually... actually died!"

  He Wei fell heavily to the ground.

  At the moment of death, he still glared with anger in his eyes, with an expression of incredulity on his face.

  "It's a heaven-made calamity that can be survived, but a self-inflicted one cannot. We never thought of harming him, yet he was thinking of plotting against us."

  Shangguan Yaoyue said with a hint of discontent, as if she still had some unresolved grievances.

  "He wants to take away our mission items through the Xian Dao assessment. It's not wrong, after all. And didn't he fail anyway?"

  Lin Xi said lightly. This matter was just an episode for him.

  Although he is only seventeen years old, he is not a novice. Anyone who wants to outsmart him will find themselves underestimating him.

  "Exactly!"

  Shangguan Yaoyue suddenly burst out laughing, revealing a row of snow-white, shell-like teeth:

  "We were just short of mission items. This guy delivered himself to our doorstep, what a freebie."

  Shangguan Yaoyue walked over. On his body, they found fourteen still-beating Vampire Maiden hearts. The unexpectedly large number caused both of them to frown slightly.

  "It seems this guy has already successfully schemed against many people. Otherwise, it's impossible for there to be so many task items."

  Lin Xi furrowed his brow and said.

  He has two kinds of Qi-refining realm things, Fa Xian and Gui Wang Gong, which can quickly hunt down the blood-sucking female demon. However, the task items obtained will not be much more than his.

  It can be seen from this micro-transaction that at least two warriors were killed and their mission items were obtained.

  "No wonder this guy is so bold. Clearly seeing that there are two of us, he still dares to take action. He's really reckless! Unfortunately, he ran into a tough opponent. This guy is truly not worth pitying!"

  Shangguan Yaoyue said indignantly. The last bit of sympathy in her heart also dissipated.

  Two people combined, one person divided into seven task items. Estimated that it can be completed the Xian Dao assessment.

  "Go! First go to the Trial Gate. We'll talk after we leave this place."

  Lin Xi and Shangguan Yaoyue immediately rushed towards the Trial Gate. Behind them, in the midst of the mountains, came intermittent wails, apparently from other warriors who had fallen prey to the vampire witches' sinister clutches.

  Lin Xi and Shangguan Yaoyue didn't manage to run very far.

  Just as they were heading in the direction of the Trial Gate, a man wearing a large robe with long hair scattered and a cold expression appeared in front of them, blocking their path like a majestic mountain peak.

  Neither Lin Xi nor Shangguan Yuxue had noticed this person before. He seemed to appear out of thin air. Or rather, he had been there all along, existing since the beginning of time, quietly waiting for the two of them.

  Lin Xi and Shangguan Yaoyue had just appeared, when a cold killing intent burst out of thin air, locking onto the two from afar. It seemed that if either of them dared to make another move, it would be a fatal blow!

  The two of them changed color in an instant.

  "Refining Qi Realm is strong!"

  Shangguan Yaoyue's face suddenly turned pale. Her family background seemed to be extremely profound, and she recognized the other party's identity just by their aura.

  Beside him, Lin Xi heard this sentence and his expression sank. The light in his eyes flickered as he turned over idea after idea, vaguely thinking of something but not daring to confirm it.

  "Who are you? Why are you blocking our way!"

  Shangguan Yaoyue spoke up. She was the first one to break the silence.

  The person in front of her appeared very abruptly, and Shangguan Yaoyue didn't recognize him at all. Nor did she understand why he would appear here.

  "I've finally been waiting for you!"

  The man with a cold expression raised his head, ignoring Yu Xue, and his icy eyes fell on Lin Xi. A tidal wave of pressure swept out, and Lin Xi felt like he was trapped in a swamp, even breathing became difficult.

  Shangguan Yaoyue's expression changed slightly, and she looked at Lin Xi beside her with a surprised and suspicious gaze.

  She was originally clever and had a good heart. She was intelligent and alert. With just a few words, she knew that this person wasn't coming for her, but rather for Lin Xiao.

  "Are you from the Long Family?"

  Lin Xi said coldly.

  Although it was a question, the tone had already confirmed the other's origin. The powerful enemies he provoked in the Refining Heaven Realm were only two. One was the Ghost King of Ghost King Island.

  Lin Xi killed his son Hei Pao Ye, which means he will have no descendants. However, Lin Xi does not think that a major sect like Shen Xiao Zong and a lone cultivator like Gui Wang Lao Zu can intervene.

  Only one is left, which is Long's family.

  Lin Xi went up the mountain and recognized Long Dani at a glance. Similarly, Long Dani also saw him. So the fact that he had arrived on the mountain was not unexpected, and the people of the Long family in the Shenyue Sect already knew about it.

  Lin Xi had long known that Long Shi's family would not let him off easily. The person in front of him was obviously here for this reason.

  "Not bad! You're clever, but you'll still die!"

  As soon as the voice fell, the killer in the Refining Realm sent by the Long family immediately took action.

  Boom!

  The stone shatters the sky!

  A torrent of frenzied true energy, overwhelming the sky and earth, overturning mountains and seas, like a giant net, pounced towards Lin Xi and Shangguan Yuxue. The momentum was devastating, as if it were doomsday.

  Lin Xi and Shangguan Yaoyue both changed their expressions.

  Shangguan Yaoyue was enraged, this powerful Qi cultivator, clearly not rushing towards herself, but when she struck out, she unhesitatingly wrapped herself up in it as well.

  Lin Xi was shocked, but it was the powerful high-ranking cultivator of the Refining Qi Realm.

  Although he knew that the strong in the Refining Qi Realm and the martial artist of the tenth rank were vastly different, his subconscious always thought that his strength was enormous and had long surpassed that of an ordinary Thunderous Period strongman. Although not a match for a strong Refiner, it shouldn't be too far off either.

  But at this time, truly seeing a strong cultivator of the Refining Qi Realm take action, one can feel that aura which shakes heaven and earth, is fundamentally not something that a martial artist of the Ten Heavens can compare to.

  As Shangguan Yaoyue said, the gap between Wudao's tenth stage and Lianqi Realm is like heaven and earth. One is earthly, one is heavenly; one is mortal, one is immortal!

  Martial arts, from the tenth level to the Refining Qi realm, although there is only a difference of one level. However, this step is the distance between heaven and earth. Breaking through it means taking a step into the heavens. Otherwise, you will still be just a powerful martial artist!

  "It's all over!"

  Shangguan Yaoyue gritted her teeth and summoned the Golden Toad, releasing a dazzling golden light that shot towards the Refiner in front of her.

  Shangguan Yaoyue was still hesitating, wondering whether to stand on the same front line as Lin Xi. After all, the other party had come for Lin Xi. Moreover, a strong cultivator in the Refining Qi realm was really too frightening.

  Shangguan Yaoyue has a good impression of Lin Xi, and even thinks that this guy is a very reliable and trustworthy person. However, to say that this good impression has risen to the point where Shangguan Yaoyue would pledge her life to him, is clearly not realistic!

  The other party's strength is too powerful. Shangguan Yaoyue didn't mind helping Lin Xi, but sending him to his death was a different matter altogether.

  However, it's clear that this guy in front of her obviously has no intention of letting her go. He is preparing to kill her and silence her.

  Now, there's no need to even hesitate!

  "This son of a bitch!"

  Shangguan Yaoyue's silver teeth were clenched tightly, she was so angry that she was about to die.

  On the other hand, Lin Xi also understood that this was a matter of life and death, and there was no room for even the slightest carelessness!

  "Cheers!"

  Lin Xi let out a loud roar, his palm grasping, a massive dark green arm shot out with the speed of thunder, grabbing towards the cultivator in front of him. At the same time, a blue glow flashed on his back, the sword that was being suppressed burst out like a swimming dragon, swift as lightning, circled around in mid-air once, and stabbed towards the opponent's back.

  In terms of actual combat experience, Lin Xi's is really too rich!

  "Ghost King's Power!"

  His face was as cold as a thousand-year-old ice, seemingly never having any other expression, the aura of a killer in the Lianqi realm. His body trembled slightly, he raised his head and looked at Lin Xi, revealing a clearly surprised look.

  The information obtained is that the opponent is only a martial artist of the tenth rank. However, a martial artist of the tenth rank obviously does not have true energy. Even if there is, it forms beads of thunder pearls or true energy pearls between the joints, and the meridians are still empty.

  No genuine internal energy, no practicing of Gongfa!

  A martial artist of the tenth rank cannot possibly use a technique from the Refining Qi realm! —— This is an acknowledged fact in the entire Immortal Dao world!

  But this rule obviously does not apply to this young man.

  The dark green aura arm in front of me is clearly a manifestation of the Ghost King's cultivation, it's a real and practical Aura Refining Realm ultimate technique!

  "No wonder Miss Long wants him dead!"

  An idea flashed through the man's mind.

  However, Lin Xi and Shangguan Yao's strength was strong, but the chasm between Wudao Ten Heavy and Lianqi Realm was there, and it was impossible to break through.

  "Explode!"

  A light "broken" word, Lin Xi's easily grasped the blood-sucking female demon's "Ghost King Claw", was easily crushed. A powerful true energy explosion opened up, and in an instant, it bounced off Huang Jin Chan Yu's golden toad.

  "Pffft!"

  Lin Xi and Shangguan Yaoyue let out a muffled groan, spitting out fresh blood in unison, flying out like a kite with its string cut.

  Ding!

  The man in black raised his head, and with a calm and unhurried finger flick, a powerful true energy shot out. The magic sword emitted by Lin Xi was immediately severely damaged and flew out.

  With a raise of her hand and a flick of her wrist, Lin Xi and Shangguan Yaoyue's joint attack was utterly defeated. The two crashed to the ground, severely injured!

  "The gap between the Refining Qi Realm and the Tenth Stage of Martial Dao is like the difference between heaven and earth. It's not something that you two juniors can bridge with just a few magical tools. Now, let's die together!"

  The man in black robes stood tall and proud, his long hair dancing wildly, like a demon god.

  He countered their counterattack with one move, and a fierce killing intent immediately appeared in his eyes. His sleeves puffed out, wanting to thoroughly kill the two!
