Chapter 581 Thousand Blades
As Wen Xiang finished speaking, a flurry of snowflakes suddenly began to fall from the sky in the distance.
These snowflakes all have sharp edges, and wherever they fall, they cut the ground in half as easily as cutting tofu.
This scene caused Ye Ru and the others to retreat rapidly, their gazes fixed on the distance, their eyes filled with a hint of solemnity.
They could all sense that this person was up to no good, and judging from his appearance, he was quite learned.
At least, if it were anyone else, seeing such a large display of force, they would have run away long ago.
The fact that the other party still dared to show up shows either that they have absolute confidence in their own strength or that they are a fool. Clearly, someone with that level of ability would be extremely sensitive to danger.
The continuous falling snowflakes caused everyone present to raise their inner energy to the limit, and a sense of oppression began to permeate the surroundings.
"May I ask who you are? You are on a mission from the Yanhuang Kingdom. Ordinary people should leave immediately."
Wen Xiang frowned, his gaze fixed on the sky. Although he had said something pointless, mentioning the Yanhuang Kingdom would likely make the other party wary.
Because if he were to die, the Holy Academy would surely find out, and if several half-saints appeared, it would be far more complicated than simply eliminating this palace of assassins.
"Heh, the Yanhuang Kingdom? It doesn't scare me at all. This is the Palace of Death Warriors. You've probably broken the rules, haven't you?"
A mocking voice slowly drifted through the sky, then snowflakes gradually condensed and finally transformed into an old man whose entire body was transparent.
The old man was covered in ice crystals and dressed in white, but there was no trace of talent flowing through him. On the contrary, he was just like an ordinary person, and did not seem like a person of literary rank or a death warrior.
Moreover, the other party did not possess any demonic power whatsoever.
Although the other party seemed to be an ordinary person, everyone knew that his strength was unfathomable.
"who are you?"
Wen Xiang stood in front of Ye Ru and said coldly, his talent reaching its peak.
The other party is so strange, I have to be careful, otherwise I might get caught off guard and things could get really funny.
"Hehe, I am the first Chief of the Death Squad, and you are the current Minister of Literature, Li Baiyuan, right?"
The old man spoke calmly, his words carrying an extremely cold aura that sent chills down one's spine:
“You may not know this, but Qianren, you should know that I killed your country’s previous civil and military prime ministers.”
Upon hearing this, the pupils of everyone present immediately contracted to the size of pinholes, especially Wen Xiang, whose face showed even greater horror.
It turns out that the previous civil and military prime ministers were assassinated by the other party!
At that time, the Minister of Civil Affairs and the Minister of Military Affairs went to Jieshan together to investigate, but they inexplicably died on the way.
At that time, the Yanhuang Kingdom was unaware that the whole country would be shocked after the bodies of the two prime ministers were completely returned to the court!
Although it was publicly stated that the two prime ministers had simply died of old age, the high-ranking officials of the court knew the truth behind it all.
Moreover, the civil and military prime ministers at that time were at the level of great Confucian scholars, and were even more powerful than himself.
"So you're the murderer who killed the previous prime minister and military chancellor!"
Wen Xiang took a deep breath, slowly suppressing the shock within him, and stared at Qian Ren with murderous intent in his eyes.
The previous Prime Minister was his teacher. After Prime Minister Wen died, he also thoroughly investigated the murderer, but it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and he found nothing.
But today, the other party actually showed up!
"Lord Wen, be careful, the opponent's strength is too terrifying."
Seeing Li Baiyuan's excited expression, Ye Ru said in a deep voice, while the power of the Sacred Ancient Tree was also being channeled towards him.
After absorbing the power of the Sacred Tree, Wen Xiangfang gradually calmed down.
"My lord, these people are far too presumptuous, daring to break into our Death Warrior Palace. Please kill them all."
The leader of the assassins knelt down on one knee before him, his eyes slightly cold, and said.
"You useless lot, you can't even guard the palace properly. I'll hold you accountable after I've dealt with them."
Qianren snorted coldly, then flicked his sleeve, looking at Ye Ru and the others again, and smiled:
"How about this? I'll give you a chance. If you pledge your loyalty to me, I'll spare your lives. What do you say?"
The voice echoed here, and Ye Ru's lips curled into a mocking smile as he said:
"That won't be necessary. If you can personally destroy this place, I'll report it to the imperial court and allow you to have a complete corpse, how about that?"
"You're not very old, but you've got quite the nerve. You're just a lowly scholar, how dare you speak so presumptuously to me?"
Qianren's expression gradually turned cold, and his figure slowly disappeared from the spot.
After Qianren's body disappeared from the spot, Ye Ru and the others felt a chill run down their spines. In just an instant, Ye Ru retreated rapidly backward.
As Ye Ru retreated rapidly, a burst of ice shards appeared where he had been standing. These ice shards, like sharp cones, shot towards Ye Ru in the distance.
"Netherfire!"
Reflected in his pupils the ever-growing ice spikes, Ye Ru gripped the Three Perfections Writing Brush tightly, a cluster of flames quietly appearing before he blasted it directly at the ice spikes.
boom!
When the two collided, even with the power of the Netherfire, it took a long time to completely incinerate the ice spikes.
Seeing this, Qianren was surprised. As a great scholar, he had failed to defeat the young man in one move.
"Not bad, it seems you do have some real talent. If we weren't enemies, I'm afraid I would have been tempted to take a liking to your talent."
"However... I don't need another genius like you right now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Ru suddenly found an ice shield appear beside him. The ice shield was square and completely enveloped him, leaving him with no way to avoid it.
Instantly, the ice shield transformed into countless ice needles, carrying a chilling power, shooting towards his limbs and bones.
As Ye Ru stared at the rapidly approaching ice needles, a fierce look appeared on his face. However, before he could make a move, a phantom of a mountain enveloped him, and the ice needles stopped advancing after piercing the phantom of the mountain.
boom!
The next moment, the ice needle shattered and disappeared into the sky.
"Ye Ru, are you alright?"
After Wen Xiang rescued Ye Ru, he coldly stared at Qian Ren. He had no information about this person when he investigated before. He never expected that there was such a terrifying person behind this palace.
"It's alright, this guy's a bit strange, be careful."
Ye Ru let out a breath, his eyes fixed on Qian Ren, fearing that the other party might launch another attack.
These attacks are completely unpredictable and impossible to defend against.
