Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Xiao Yi immediately summoned the four brothers of the Shi Family and Niu Dali as well.

"Xiao, what's so urgent that you've called us here?" Shi Yaoqian asked.

Niu Dali, still groggy, yawned sleepily.

Xiao Yi spoke in a deep voice, "I have to leave for a while. The dean and Jiang Tai are in seclusion, and only a few of you remain in the Martial Arts Institute. You must stay vigilant."

"Don't worry, with us here, there won't be any problems!" The group hurriedly patted their chests in assurance.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Fang Qingzhu spoke in a serious tone, "Xiao Yi, you must be careful yourself!"

No one knew what awaited him in Zhuilong Valley!

The unknown is always the most dangerous.

Xiao Yi rubbed her head, and a silver figure slid down from his sleeve, landing on Fang Qingzhu's shoulder.

Only then did Xiao Yi leave the Martial Arts Institute.

Zhuilong Valley was over a hundred kilometers away from Tianqi Martial Arts Academy, and even at Xiao Yi's current speed, the round trip would take about an hour and a half.

Half an hour after Xiao Yi left Tianqi Martial Arts Academy.

At the foot of the mountain where the Tianqi Martial Arts Academy was located, more than a dozen figures quietly emerged, converging together. The leader, cloaked in a blood-red robe, asked, "Has he definitely left?"

"Our people have followed him all the way, there is no mistake!" one of them said.

"Quick battle, quick decision. Take them all down with the utmost speed!" With a wave of his hand, the leader sent the dozen or so blood-clad figures sprinting towards the Tianqi Martial Arts Academy.

Inside the institute.

Fang Qingzhu and the others were gathered together when suddenly, Little Lin on her shoulder stood up straight and hissed, alerting them.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The sound of cutting through the air approached.

Fifteen figures wrapped in blood-red cloaks landed all around, encircling Fang Qingzhu and the others.

Fang Qingzhu's expression changed, a cold aura emanating from her as she frostily regarded them: "Who are you riffraff, daring to barge into Tianqi Martial Arts Academy?"

"Tianqi Martial Arts Academy is nothing! Just a Martial Arts Academy that's nearing its end. The Xue Yilou wouldn't be scared of it!" one of the blood-robed figures sneered.

"Xue Yilou?"

The faces of Fang Qingzhu and the others all changed.

Xue Yilou.

The strongest assassin organization across the ten nations of Nanhuang, with each member being a top-notch assassin. In the hundreds of years since its establishment, they had never failed.

This was because Xue Yilou had an unwritten rule; if the first batch of assassins failed, they would send a stronger second batch and continue sending stronger ones with each failure.

Only if someone withstood ten waves of Xue Yilou's assassination attempts without dying would they cease their mission.

Up until now...

No one had ever survived an assassination attempt by Xue Yilou.

They were a group dwelling in the darkness, reapers that made countless powerful figures pale at the mention of their name.

"It's an honor that you've heard of us. I am Xue Jiu, a Profound Level assassin from Xue Yilou…"

Xue Jiu's eyes, hidden beneath the cloak, glinted with a wolf-like green glow, "As a reward, if you surrender without a fight, I can assure you that I'll only cripple your cultivation and not take your lives!"

"Dali, when the time comes, you protect Qingzhu and flee first. Leave this to us!" Shi Yaoqian said in a deep voice.

Shi Yaodu's dice spun lightly in his hand as he coldly fixated on the surrounding Xue Yilou assassins, "I bet today is more likely bad than good... Gentlemen, take heed."

Niu Dali's eyes turned blood-red, he nodded firmly, looking at Fang Qingzhu.

Experience tales with empire

However...

Fang Qingzhu firmly shook her head, "If we leave, we leave together!"

"Qingzhu..."

The others looked at her anxiously.

But Qingzhu smiled and shook her head, her gaze calm yet resolute, "Xiao Yi left this place in my care. I won't abandon you!"

"This..."

The group exchanged glances, their eyes all becoming determined.

Xue Jiu furrowed his brow and shook his head, "Two at the Peak of the Divine Ability Realm and four at the Seventh Layer of the Divine Passage Realm think they can stop us? Quick battle, quick decision. Take them down, and kill without mercy if they resist!"

"Yes!"

The fourteen blood-clad Xue Yilou experts surged forward.

```

The mighty ones rose and attacked as one.

"I bet your blade can't kill me!" Shi Yaodu braced himself with both hands, as six dice circled around his body, each one deflecting the incoming saber blows.

Shi Yaoqian clutched two silver ingots, which were engraved with mysterious runes.

They emitted a brilliant silver light.

With a casual flip of the silver ingots, he cast them forward, "Harmony brings wealth!"

Bang!

The silver ingots expanded continuously, slamming into their targets like small mountains, and with a thunderous roar, the ingots burst apart.

Shi Yaoqian's eyes turned bloodshot, "My money... you dared to destroy my money, I'll fight you to the death!"

Boom!

Countless silver ingots flew out from Shi Yaoqian's body, clinking as they gathered around him, forming a complete suit of armor made of silver ingots.

His entire being transformed into a three-meter-tall silver giant.

"Thousand Gold Fist!"

Shi Yaoqian's punch unleashed, forming a silver torrent of steel with numerous silver ingots, which enveloped one after another of the Xue Yilou's mighty ones.

Shi Yaoqian brought his hands together in a loud clap.

The numerous silver ingots exploded, piercing the bodies of the Xue Yilou's mighty ones.

The attacks from Shi Yaoquan and Shi Yaose were no less fierce.

Especially Shi Yaose.

Usually lascivious, he was as cold as a killing god when it came to fighting. A pink glow flowed in his peach blossom eyes, as he made the Xue Yilou strongmen in front of him dazed with just a coquettish glance.

At the same time, with a light sweep of his slender fingers, he slit his opponent's throat, or ripped open their chest and crushed their heart.

The attacks from Niu Dali and Fang Qingzhu were also formidable.

In an instant.

More than half of the dozen or so Xue Yilou strongmen had fallen!

Xue Jiu's face suddenly darkened, "A bunch of trash, you can't even handle six from the Divine Passage Realm?"

Boom!

Xue Jiu's body surged with blood-colored light, and a blood-colored longsword emerged in his hand, his cultivation having reached the Fifth Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm.

"Blood Shadow Sword!"

"Blood Demon Sword!"

"A sword without blood..."

Xue Jiu's sword was frighteningly fast, and under his blood sword, the four Shi brothers and Niu Dali were no match for him at all.

They were knocked to the ground one after another.

In an instant.

Only Fang Qingzhu was left standing in front of Xue Jiu, who held a longsword with an icy gaze, "You're the only one left, such a pretty face would be a shame to scar. I advise you to surrender quietly..."

"If it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get!"

Fang Qingzhu's tone was icy as she lashed out with her Purple Dragon Whip, which whistled through the air as it struck at Xue Jiu.

"Courting death!"

Xue Jiu snorted coldly, grasping the air with one hand as blood-colored energy swirled around his palm, catching the Purple Dragon Whip firmly in his grasp. With a fierce yank, he pulled Fang Qingzhu rapidly toward his longsword.

"Qingzhu..."

"No..."

Niu Dali and the others looked on in despair.

If Fang Qingzhu collided with that blood-colored longsword, it would surely be a fatal blow!

At that moment...

A streak of silver light burst forth from Fang Qingzhu's chest, it was unexpectedly Little Lin!

"Hm?"

Xue Jiu blinked in surprise; Little Lin's speed was indeed fast, and an ordinary person at the Fifth Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm would surely not be able to dodge his surprise attack. But Xue Jiu was an assassin, whose strength was speed.

Whoosh!

Xue Jiu sidestepped to avoid Little Lin's sneak attack, while simultaneously sending out a palm strike, landing a heavy blow directly above Little Lin's vital inch...
