Translator: Storm in a Teacup
No one could expect that the rival was a master in the fourth realm of reincarnation. Ye Lingyue was a little anxious since the enemy was much more powerful that she had imagined.“Who on earth are you? Why do you hate Long Baobao?” Ye Lingyue appeared calm and took back the wood carving.
“There are rules for us a.s.sa.s.sins. You believe that I will leak the purchaser"s secret to you?” The head of a.s.sa.s.sins looked grim and said extremely sarcastically.
“We mercenary soldiers also have our rules. If you don"t tell me about the manipulator, I will never let you know the whereabouts of Long Baobao.” Ye Lingyue said.
The head"s eyes showed coldness and there was instantly a thirst for blood up in the air.
He had searched the surroundings and could find no trace of the little boy Long Baobao.
“The little creature does nothing wrong. I am only a.s.signed by his uncle to take back his head and the spiritual artifact he has made in exchange for 5 million liang(1 liang=50g) of gold.” The head obviously did not take Ye Lingyue seriously. He did not mind telling her all about it since Ye Lingyue and her partners would not survive.
The woman looked ugly and had no power of reincarnation. The only reason he had to watch out for her was that she could never use up her tricks.
Ye Lingyue could never expect that the one that wanted to kill Long Baobao was a member of the Long Family.
5 million liang of gold in exchange for the life of a boy. What a high price!
No wonder that the head would arrange hundreds of master a.s.sa.s.sins to attack them.
No wonder that Steward Huang would pay so much to hire the two major mercenary groups of Disha and Drinking Blood.
Ye Lingyue was a little annoyed. Obviously, Steward Huang had fooled them. Two small mercenary groups were totally unable to fight with more than a hundred master a.s.sa.s.sins including smart poison users. At least, he should have hired a ma.s.sive mercenary legion.
But all turned useless for the moment.
The head must be defeated at first.
“Tell me the whereabouts of the boy and I can let you survive.” The head shouted fiercely.
“Then let"s see whether you can take my life.” Ye Lingyue growled.
“Heaven and earth are shaking.”
There was a fierce stream of Yuan energy coming from Ye Lingyue"s finger.
The same move again. The head had been attacked by Ye Lingyue"s finger in the tent earlier. He knew well that the finger could produce enormous power.
That was the unique martial skill of the Buddhist Faction, one of the three major sects and nine factions. But the head did not show any fear since his realm of power was one grade higher than that of Ye Lingyue. Such a warrior in the Dan realm could at most bring into play 50 percent of the force even if she could make use of the unique martial skill.
The head looked calm and his Yuan energy turned into shadows of fists fighting back head-on the Little Boundless Finger of Ye Lingyue.
Surprisingly, the Little Boundless Finger gave out enormous power like pouring rain and howling winds the moment it confronted the Yuan energy of the reincarnation realm. Instantly, the shadows of fists were torn apart.
What?
The head"s eyes showed uncontrollable rage.
The feeling. The Yuan energy could not come from an ordinary warrior in the Dan realm. She was also a warrior in the reincarnation realm!
But why did not she have any bit of reincarnation power?
The head tried not to show any puzzlement. He smiled coldly. Even if she was in the reincarnation realm, so what? After all, she was still a green-handed warrior in the reincarnation realm who could not use the reincarnation power.
“You have surprisingly evaded this move. But you can only do that much.” The head glanced at Ye Lingyue full of arrogance.
All of a sudden, there were rays of strong gold light around her body. Streams of reincarnation gold power were gathered up.
Then a long gold spear appeared before his body.
“I did not expect that I need to use my invincible spear when killing a powerless mercenary soldier.” The gold invincible spear appeared in the hands of the head. Then his Yuan energy became even fiercer.
With a fierce shake, numerous scary sparks were produced and the spear was soon targeted at Ye Lingyue.
The moves of the spear were as quick and powerful as thunder and lightning. What destructive power!
Ye Lingyue looked solemn. Then transparent semicircle spiritual shields were gathered up beside her.
The attacks of the spear met enormous reincarnation gold power popping out like crazy, and ended up like twinkles of star light crashing upon the spiritual shields.
Even though Ye Lingyue was protected by the spiritual shields, every crash would make her flesh and blood shake violently. The shields were nearly distorted.
“Nine cauldron alchemist!” The head was more shocked than Ye Lingyue. He could never expect that the female soldier was in fact an alchemist.
Why was a nine cauldron alchemist so young? Why did she conceal her real ident.i.ty?
The head saw that the attacks of the invincible spear were nearly counteracted by the spiritual shields. At this time, his eyes were red with fury.
“How could Xue Long, the No. 18 talent on the list of a.s.sa.s.sins with the invincible spear end up like this when facing a young girl like you?” The head spoke sinisterly. “But your spiritual shields cannot hold on any more.”
As Xue Long was speaking, there was a stream of reincarnation water power gathered up outside his body. The water power might not be as fierce as the gold power but it was characterized by pliability. The water waves tangled the spiritual shields.
As a master in the fourth realm of reincarnation, Xue Long was much better at using the reincarnation water power than Hong Mingyue and others.
Under the attack of the water waves, the almost fragile spiritual shields began to distort.
Xue Long could not help smiling.
“Turn fierce!” All of a sudden, the reincarnation water power turned much fiercer and produced numerous raging tides.
When surges of tides came all together , the spiritual shields eventually gave in and exploded with a loud bang.
Just when Xue Long believed that Ye Lingyue was either injured or dead, a dozen of black shadows rushed to Xue Long at a dramatically fast speed.
It turned out that they were eighteen zigzagging soul reaping chains. Xue Long was pushed backwards a dozen of steps and he was. .h.i.t by two of those chains.
“How do you know the martial skill of the Underground Palace?” After being hit by Ye Lingyue, Xue Long was not seriously injured but he was stupefied and could not stop trembling when seeing the 18 snake-like chains zigzagging beside Ye Lingyue like vicious demons.
All his arrogance vanished.
The martial skill of the soul reaping chain was so uncanny that one could never forget about it after seeing its power.
Earlier, Xue Long saw a guard using a similar skill in the Yan City.
It was said that the skill was exclusively possessed by the Ghost Emperor and only taught to his followers who had made achievements.
Was this female alchemist from the Underground Palace?
He had offended the people of the Underground Palace!
