The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 207 - 206: Nighttime Assassination

Chapter 207: Chapter 206: Nighttime Assassination

"Seven days later, bring them back to the Sect," Ye Xuan decided, turning away from the barren hill and heading towards the dojo.

Ye Xuan was in no hurry as he walked through the mountains and forests.

As he passed through a certain dense forest, Ye Xuan suddenly stopped in his tracks and calmly looked ahead, saying softly, "Come out."

There was no movement coming from the darkness ahead.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan slightly narrowed his eyes and gently shook his foot, sending a stone at his feet flying out in an instant, breaking into countless fragments, shooting out like Cloud Piercing Arrows.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh————"

The fragmented stones hurtled through the air, carrying with them a whistling sound as they flew.

"Thud thud thud————"

The trees in the dense forest ahead were instantly pierced.

Amidst these sounds, another faint whistling could be heard.

Someone was lurking in the dense forest ahead!

Seeing that the other party still didn’t show themselves, Ye Xuan took his right hand out of his pocket, his fingers slightly spread, with droplets of Taiyi True Water between them.

Swish!

Ye Xuan suddenly flicked them out, and the Taiyi True Water droplets shot out instantly.

The Taiyi True Water made no sound as it flew through the air.

But in the darkness, one could see the fine thunder flashes shimmering within them!

Hundreds of Taiyi True Water droplets burst forth into the dense forest and exploded violently.

"Boom!————"

The thunder within them exploded fiercely.

In an instant, the dense forest in front was completely destroyed, revealing a giant crater with a diameter of a thousand meters.

The trees were blasted into ash, vanishing from sight.

Amid the flashing flames and thunder, a shadow in black quietly dissipated.

But at the same time, a killing intent enveloped Ye Xuan!

The bright moon peeked out from behind the clouds, casting a dim light that revealed a cold glint in Ye Xuan’s eyes.

A sharp sword was aiming straight for Ye Xuan’s throat!

Its speed was extremely fast, silent as a specter, eerily abrupt.

Ye Xuan, looking at the mysterious person clad in night clothes, remained calm, even a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Can’t hide any longer, can you?"

"Hmm?" The mysterious person attacking Ye Xuan, whose eyes were the only visible part of their face, showed a trace of doubt, seemingly unable to comprehend why Ye Xuan could still smile at the brink of death.

"Clang!————"

At that moment, Ye Xuan moved his right hand fingers, his thumb pressing tightly against his index finger, and flicked.

A sound of metal clashing against metal rang out, piercing and shattering!

"What!?" The mysterious person felt their palm splitting from the shock, their eyes filled with terror as they quickly retreated.

This Ye Xuan had actually blocked their assassination attempt with just a flick of his finger!?

It should be known that this sword was a High Grade Spiritual Artifact, invincibly sharp, not even a Prince could withstand it, yet Ye Xuan had easily shattered it with a flick of his finger!?

The hand holding the sword trembled uncontrollably.

This had let the mysterious person know just how terrifying the power behind Ye Xuan’s flick was.

Had it been flicked on someone’s head, it likely would have gouged out a hole.

The mysterious person’s eyes fell upon Ye Xuan’s right hand.

They couldn’t imagine what kind of hand it was that could block an attack from a High Grade Spiritual Artifact with a flick.

Too terrifying.

"Did the Blood Killing Sect send only you to die?" Ye Xuan asked faintly, having thwarted the other’s assassination attempt.

Ye Xuan’s eyes were fixed firmly on the person in night clothes, filled with cold indifference.

The person in night clothes didn’t respond, maintaining a vigilant stare at Ye Xuan.

"Not speaking?" Ye Xuan said with a faint smile, speaking slowly, "You don’t need to say anything; I already know you’re from the Blood Killing Sect, and it was the Emperor of Lie Tian Heavenly Country who sent you here."

"The guy who was following Hua Yunfei during the day, that was you, right?"

Ye Xuan watched calmly as the person in night clothes stayed silent.

Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the mysterious person’s eyes narrowed in shock, a wave of terror rising in their heart.

How could this person possess such astonishing insight?

A mere sixteen-year-old youth’s thoughts were meticulous to such an extent?

Originally, after observing Ye Xuan’s behavior during the day, he concluded that Ye Xuan was a reckless person who, despite mastering a killing technique, revered strength above all else.

But now it seems, this fellow is far more terrifying than imagined.

Especially, recognizing his identity.

In addition, seeing through his hiding!

This is the most horrifying.

He had assassinated countless princes and had made mistakes, but those were due to his own errors.

Yet, in dealing with Ye Xuan, he had devised a meticulous hunting plan.

Originally planning to act tomorrow, he came out in the evening and happened to encounter Ye Xuan leaving the dojo alone, so he followed him here, setting up an ambush and waiting for Ye Xuan to return.

On Ye Xuan’s way back, he would be killed with one strike.

Who would have thought, this fellow actually noticed...

"Wrong!"

As he thought of this, the mysterious man’s pupils suddenly shrank, his gaze fixed on Ye Xuan, and his hand gripping the sword began to sweat.

"Did you purposely let me see?" the mysterious man asked with a heavy voice, staring intently at Ye Xuan.

"It seems you’re not completely foolish," Ye Xuan said with an indifferent smile.

When he left the dojo to search for Golden Pond Temple, he happened to notice the guy who followed Hua Yunfei during the day. Knowing that this man came from the Blood Killing Sect, he deliberately exposed a flaw to let him know his whereabouts, luring him to show himself.

As expected, this guy set up an ambush on his way back to the dojo.

All of this, however, was within Ye Xuan’s calculations.

"You’ve got guts..." said the mysterious man as he removed his mask, revealing his face and calmly saying, "Never has anyone dared to lure me into action; you’re the first."

This person was none other than the Blood Hunting King who followed Hua Yunfei!

The very Blood Hunting King who claimed he could slaughter any prince.

Upon hearing these words, Ye Xuan laughed, "You have even more guts, daring to try to assassinate me."

This Blood Hunting King indeed had big guts; he even dared to assassinate the Undying Night Emperor.

If those ancient giants knew this, they would probably be scared to death.

It was always the Undying Night Emperor who plotted against others, and anyone who plotted against the Undying Night Emperor only met a tragic death!

However, the Blood Hunting King clearly didn’t realize Ye Xuan’s true origin, as he calmly said, "You’re nothing but a son-in-law of Emperor Immortal Sect; why shouldn’t I dare to assassinate you?"

"Truth be told, even if it’s the princes from great powers like Xuanmo Cave, Smoke Mist Mountain, or Sacred Land of Lingxu, I would still assassinate them."

This made Ye Xuan laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" the Blood Hunting King asked with narrowed eyes, the killing intent in his pupils condensing.

Ye Xuan shook his head and scoffed, "I laugh at your ignorance, daring to kill without even understanding what kind of person your opponent is; and I laugh at your narrow vision, thinking that small sects like Xuanmo Cave, Smoke Mist Mountain, and Sacred Land of Lingxu are something to boast about."

No wonder Ye Xuan laughed; although Xuanmo Cave, Smoke Mist Mountain, and Sacred Land of Lingxu were overlord-level existences within a hundred thousand miles of Qing Mountain, in comparison to the entire Southern Domain, they were merely of an intermediate level.

And in the vast East Desolation Domain, they wouldn’t even be able to rank, let alone compared to the entire Daozhou Land.

In the eyes of the Blood Hunting King, the three major cultivation sacred lands might have been dominant forces.

The Blood Hunting King took pride in assassinating princes from the three major cultivation sacred lands.

Little did he know that the three major cultivation sacred lands, the entire Southern Domain, the East Desolate Great Domain, and even the whole Daozhou Land were no more than a speck of dust in Ye Xuan’s eyes.

"Such young age, yet you spout such madness," said the Blood Hunting King, his expression calm, unaffected by Ye Xuan’s words.

"I’ve spoken so much nonsense, aren’t you going to strike yet?" Seeing the Blood Hunting King still standing there, Ye Xuan somewhat exasperatedly said.

But Ye Xuan’s words instantly made the Blood Hunting King’s scalp tingle.

Just now, he was indeed ready to strike while Ye Xuan was talking, but an instinct told him not to do it.

Now, Ye Xuan’s words confirmed that his instinct was correct.

This fellow had seen through every single one of his moves, even guiding his next action!

At that moment, the Blood Hunting King had a feeling.

It was as if he was not facing a sixteen-year-old youth, but an old devil who manipulated an ancient chessboard!

"Retreat!"

Without any hesitation, the Blood Hunting King chose to retreat.

This fellow was way too cunning.

"Thinking of leaving?" Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, the Taiyi True Water circulated, and riding the dragon, he instantly caught up with the Blood Hunting King.

"Kid, your head is on the bounty list of the Lie Tian Heavenly Country’s Emperor; if you want trouble, go find him. There is no feud between you and me," said the Blood Hunting King, more convinced of his thoughts as he saw Ye Xuan catching up, and shouted.

This was the first time the Blood Hunting King directly revealed his employer.

Always wandering on the edge of life and death, he sensed a danger from Ye Xuan that ordinary people couldn’t perceive.

Extreme danger!
