5 Treasure in Hand; Disturbance Begins! (2/2)

The moment he swallowed the powder, a fragrance emerged from the crystal in his arms. It made him feel refreshed. He inhaled the sweet smell with a deep breath and felt relaxed, and then...

Another kind of dizziness invaded his head He saw some golden words flashing within his mind. The very next moment, he felt that the package had become weightless. The crystal was gone!

The package was indeed still in his arms!

How could the crystal inside it disappear? It had actually vanished into thin air!

Ye Xiao was gobsmacked! ”What the fxxk is going on?” He could clearly feel that it wasn't a superhero who had stolen it right under his nose!

Although he had lost all his powers, he wasn't lame enough to not notice someone whisk away his crystal!

Maybe the crystal wasn't gone, but instead had merged into his body!

But... How did it get inside his body?

The size of this crystal was considerable. How did it get inside? From where?

Ye Xiao really felt faint at the moment; not just physically, but also mentally. Suddenly, a flow of energy rushed up from inside his dantian!

It all happened in a flash. Ye Xiao turned sweaty at once, which was a result of a huge amount of spiritual qi flowing inside his body! He clearly felt that his pulse had become erratic, but struggling against it was futile.

”Oh no! This is bad!” Ye Xiao was crestfallen.

As an expert of cultivation, he had a very good idea of what was going on. The suddenly arising energy definitely wasn't anything good. It was very likely that he would be screwed this time.

The reason for this analysis was simple. The adventitious energy which had poured into his body was too rampageous. Ye Xiao was unable to contain it with his present condition. Although he had desired for more power, but this surely was overkill... he had no possibility of controlling it! He now regretted that he had made contact with this thing. Although he had known the crystal to be very powerful, he had vastly underestimated its effects!

The current situation was a million miles - no, even further away from what he had predicted... The only way to solve this problem was to let the rampaging power out of his body and let it disperse. Otherwise, his body would be ruined. If the poison didn't kill him, the energy would... It had become a really shxtty scenario!

And at that moment...

BOOM! A bang was heard nearby. Fire was rolling up in the sky!

The piercing sound of battle could now be heard. The sounds of the weapons colliding against each other could be compared to thousands of blacksmiths forging their iron together. Ye Xiao now truly felt like crying.

The thing he had feared the most was now occurring. His intuition had been spot on - a battle was taking place in the Zuo Xiang Fu!

And it was taking place right when he was in this awkward situation!

Fortunately, those cultivators, whom he had perceived earlier, turned out to be aiming for the Zuo Xiang Fu, not him.

Unfortunately, the place where he was standing at right now was right next to the infiltrators...

He was already going through a lot, and now he had even managed to crash into this mess.

He decided to do the only thing he was capable of doing, which was to cover his head using the package in his arms, creating a makeshift hood...

And then, he tried to get away...

The messy battle had absolutely nothing to do with him...

The sound of fighting was getting louder and louder. It could be easily made out that the force of the Zuo Xiang Fu had begun to fight back and currently held an advantage.

Suddenly, a peculiar whistling sound echoed out. Ye Xiao frowned, ”A long sound, which is then followed by three short sounds, should be a sign of retreat...”

A lot had happened just now, and yet he was able to reach the end of the alley - not that he didn't want to move faster, he just wasn't able to. Suddenly, a swordlight slashed right in front of him.

It turned out that one of the infiltrators had already strayed out and arrived here.

He hacked his sword and indiscriminately tried to kill all who opposed him.

And he easily succeeded in killing everyone standing in his path.

Ye Xiao suddenly turned bitter, ”These guys who wear black and cover their faces could never be with Zuo Xiang Fu. They move quicker and are way fiercer than some ordinary warriors - they should be some extremely well-trained assassins!”

Maybe even more menacing than some well-trained assassin!

While Ye Xiao was collecting his thoughts, the assassin didn't stop his merciless lightning-like sword hacks!

On account of the spiritual force of the assassin moving forward, the power of his sword actually released a shiny green light. The surface of the alley wall was now hacked into pieces while some fissures had appeared on the ground. It was as if the sword's breath had even torn the air apart.
