188 An Assassination; The Girls Thoughts (1/2)
Because Su Yeyue kept nagging Ye Xiao to make up to her, Ye Xiao picked a time to go out with her.
Ye Xiao now had an attire of a guard. He had intended to look normal.
People all thought that he was seriously ill and Ye Nantian was treating him. If he showed up in the public, then the whole plan would be exposed.
The ice mountain attracted a lot of tourists. Even though the war was happening in the world, people were still so excited about traveling. That was kind of strange though.
Ye Xiao and the four other guards hiked to the top of the mountain with Su Yeyue, providing them a fascinating view of the world.
Su Yeyue looked at the south and murmured, ”I wonder how my father is in the south. I keep having bad dreams these days...”
Her face was full of sorrow.
That were some most depressing days for her in her life.
When her father just left the city, Ye Xiao got into such a big problem and nearly got killed. She knew nothing about the truth at the beginning, so she felt terribly sad about it. If not for her mother who kept taking care of her all the time, she might have really ended up in a miserable situation. That was why Ye Xiao had to tell her the truth as soon as he could.
She knew Ye Xiao was fine, yet her father in such a dangerous place had been worrying her.
Even though she had Ye Xiao's company at the moment, she still couldn't be happy.
”Don't worry. It's going to be fine.” Ye Xiao said, ”Your father is a good man. A good man will surely be blessed. Besides, he is such a strong man. Even if there was a frontal fight or an evil trap placed against him, he will always win. What are you worrying for after all? I think you are just worrying because of overthinking.”
Su Yeyue smiled and spirited up a bit. She said, ”I know that my father is a great war god. I know he is going to be fine. But I just cannot stop worrying.”
Ye Xiao smiled and said, ”That's true. You know what he is, then you shouldn't worry about him. I thought you forgot how strong he was.”
At the moment, a cold voice sneered and said, ”Even a war god will die. War god? Hahaha. So what? Is this war god immortal?”
Suddenly, a mass of arrows came over to them. That was like a rain of arrows shooting at them.
It all happened in an instant.
Even Ye Xiao was shocked.
He was only stunned for a second though. He hurriedly held Su Yeyue's waist and rolled aside. - Shoot! - And then he suddenly turned his direction right after the roll. - Shoot! - He took Su Yeyue to the back of a big rock by doing a series of unbelievable moves.
- Shoot, shoot, shoot! -
Endless arrows hit on the big rock.
Suddenly, a few screams echoed out. The four guards were now like hedgehogs with their bodies filled with arrows. And then they fell to the ground after shambling. The arrows were supporting their bodies and they actually didn't touch the floor at all.
The fastest one of them could only draw out his sword, yet he still ended up like the others.
That was so out of their expectation. They died without finishing their screams.
Ye Xiao had a real fast reaction. He had drawn out a longsword in an instant. He reached out a bit and saw about 70 percent of the tourists around them were holding their weapons while rushing over to them. They were like crazy.
It was a group of over a hundred men.
Every one of them had a fierce and cruel look.
It was apparently a well planned assassination.
And they were here to kill Su Yeyue.
No wonder there were such an amount of tourist in the ice mountain even in the middle of the war.
They turned out to be assassins.
Ye Xiao had just realized it and then a huge sound appeared. - BOOM! - The big rock in front of them actually cracked into pieces. Obviously, those men didn't like this rock.
The next moment, he saw a few streams of blue glow flashed like dragons. Five men flew in the sky and then got down to the floor like hawks hunting rabbits.
That really scared Ye Xiao.
[Who arranged such action?
They have actually sent five Sky Origin Stage cultivators at a time.]
Ye Xiao realized it was a dire situation.
Except these five men, the other assassins were all showing some golden glow. That meant all of them were above the eighth level of the Earth Origin Stage.
To use such a strong force, even the super sects in the Land of Han-Yang would need to send all the forces they had.
That was a huge plan.
Yet it was only planned to kill a girl, Su Yeyue.
