Chapter 421 – The Situation Is Bad! (2/2)
An Nanjing glanced at Yang Ye and didn’t say anything. His physical body seems to be a little too strong now….
What a waste. Yang Ye thought to himself as he gazed at the black clothed figure in front of him. Because at the instant the a.s.sa.s.sin had failed… no it should be said that the a.s.sa.s.sin had taken his own life when Yang Ye’s sword had stabbed his shoulder. Yang Ye withdrew his sword and kicked the black clothed figure away. He didn’t look at the other black clothed figure because An Nanjing wouldn’t be standing here if that a.s.sa.s.sin hadn’t taken his own life as well.
“These are the a.s.sa.s.sins of the so-called League of Doom?” An Nanjing glanced at the corpse of the a.s.sa.s.sin in front of Yang Ye and said, “Their movement technique isn’t bad, but their strengths are too inferior. They aren’t just a little bit weaker when compared to the a.s.sa.s.sins of the An Clan.”
“Their strengths are already very good in the southern territory!” Yang Ye said, “Moreover, it isn’t that they are weak, and it’s actually because we’re too strong. Or perhaps, it was because they underestimated their enemies. They felt that we were only ordinary Spirit Realm profounders, so they didn’t use their full strength!”
An Nanjing shook her head and said, “You should feel fortunate because you haven’t seen a true a.s.sa.s.sin. Even though these a.s.sa.s.sins by your side aren’t bad, they are truly too inferior when compared to those a.s.sa.s.sins of the An Clan.”
Yang Ye believed An Nanjing because she disdained to lie. Besides that, he’d personally witnessed the strength of that black clothed woman by An Biru’s side. She was even able to instantly a.s.sa.s.sinate a Monarch Realm expert, so how could she possibly be weak? Moreover, these two Exalt Realm a.s.sa.s.sins by his side had addressed the woman as master. So, in other words, it was very likely that the a.s.sa.s.sins of the An Clan were fostered by her.
How could the a.s.sa.s.sins fostered by such a terrifying a.s.sa.s.sin be weak?
“I’m really curious. Exactly what is the relations.h.i.+p between you and the Southern An Clan’s Madam An?” Yang Ye suddenly asked this question, and he’d been wanting to ask her about it for a long time.
“It’s none of your business!” An Nanjing glanced indifferently at Yang Ye before she turned around and left.
Yang Ye rubbed his nose, and then he shook his head and smiled. It’s still quite difficult to get along with her!
However, he didn’t mind at all, and it was fine as long as she was strong. Even though that black clothed figure had tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate him just now, he’d been constantly paying attention to An Nanjing, and he’d noticed that her strength seemed to have improved again!
No, to be more precise, it seemed like An Nanjing’s strength was improving incessantly every single day!
She really is a huge source of pressure! Yang Ye took a deep breath. Needless to say, it felt quite good to have such a formidable opponent. Because such an opponent would motivate him incessantly and make him feel pressured at all times, and then he would urgently desire to become stronger and stronger at all times!
At this moment, he really looked forward to the battle between him and An Nanjing.
A black shadow flashed, and then Ye Yun appeared in front of Yang Ye. Ye Yun was stunned when he saw the corpses on the ground, and then he said, “Sword Master, they attacked you?”
Yang Ye nodded and said, “How is it on your side?”
Ye Yun suppressed the shock in his heart and answered. “They’d been practically annihilated. The remaining few are quite fast, but it isn’t a problem because our brothers are already in pursuit. I believe it won’t be long before our brothers will return with their heads!”
Sure enough, a few black clothed figures flashed over from afar and arrived in front of Yang Ye. One of them said to Yang Ye with excitement, “Sword Master, I killed a Spirit Realm profounder. Look, this is that profounder’s head!”
As he spoke, he displayed a b.l.o.o.d.y head to Yang Ye.
Yang Ye smiled as he gazed at the young man. Yang Ye knew this young man. His name was Qing Shan, and he was a King Realm profounder. The reason the young man was so happy was mainly because surmounting one’s cultivation to a.s.sa.s.sinate a profounder at a higher realm of cultivation represented a form of glory amongst all of them. After all, less than 10 of the 100 plus a.s.sa.s.sins that made up their group were able to accomplish that!
Yang Ye stretched out his hand to pat the young man on the shoulder, and then he flipped his palm. 5 top-grade energy stones and 10 top-grade Strider Talismans appeared in his hand as he said, “This is your reward!”
The others immediately revealed expressions of envy when they witnessed this scene. Because such a reward was truly too tempting. After all, they might have been unable to earn even a single top-grade energy stone after completing a year of missions in the past!
Yet now, they could obtain such generous rewards for just surmounting their realm of cultivation to kill a profounder who was at a higher realm of cultivation. At this moment, all of them urgently desired to look for a Spirit Realm expert to transform into their target.
Qing Shan stored his rewards with slight excitement, and then he said, “Thank you, Sword Master!”
Yang Ye nodded. He was just about to speak when those two black clothed women An Biru sent along with him had suddenly appeared in front of him. One of them spoke in a low voice. “If you don’t want your companions to die, then ask them to leave this place swiftly. There are three Exalt Realm experts rus.h.i.+ng over here right now!”
The hearts of Yang Ye and the others immediately sank when they heard this.
