"Who?!" Xiao Yu asked in a deep voice, his eyes showing solemnity. He immediately stood up and put away the octagonal jade table, staring at the ten black shadows that appeared at the entrance of the hall, exuding cold murderous aura.
The ten black figures did not answer. They were very fast and scattered on both sides, surrounding Xiao Yu. These ten people were all wearing black armor and had masks engraved with python patterns on their faces. The masks emitted a faint black light.
What blocked the exploration of Xiaoyu's soul power must be some kind of magical weapon that could resist the soul power. It was impossible to tell the true appearance of these ten people.
"Human, are you Xiaoyu?" One of the ten people, a taller man with a gray-brown fish tail, asked with a slightly cold voice.
Xiaoyu glanced at the man with a cold expression, and his brain was spinning rapidly. He had only been in Bailongjian for six days. Except for the friction he had with Shui Changhui, one of the members of the mermaid tribe's elder group, in the main hall of Kunlong Palace, he didn't.
Didn't offend anyone else.
Moreover, Shui Ningrou had made an agreement with him in advance and paid a lot of price. She would never suddenly change her mind and send someone to assassinate her. So there is only one answer. The sudden appearance of these ten assassins is definitely related to the mermaid clan elders.
.
"But Shui Changhui sent you here?" Xiao Yu's eyes were filled with murderous intent, staring coldly at the tall mermaid assassin, secretly analyzing their strength.
The moment these people appeared at the entrance of the palace, Xiao Yu had already detected their true cultivation level through soul power. Nine out of the ten people had the cultivation level of the phantom spirit stage. Among them, the sturdy mermaid assassin was
The peak of the ninth level of phantom has even reached the stage of fake infant, which is only one step away from the first level of infant transformation.
The last one, a thin, short, slightly stooped mermaid assassin, has the cultivation level of the fourth level of infant transformation. However, the death energy in this person is extremely strong. It is obvious that his longevity is about to dry up, but the more he is like this, the more...
It's terrible. Before death, such a person would do whatever it takes to kill someone.
The strong mermaid assassin looked at Xiaoyu with a hint of disdain in his cold eyes, and said coldly: "Human, you overestimate yourself. You can't even get into the eyes of Elder Gray."
"That's all, since you don't want to say it, I won't force you..." Xiaoyu's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and with a movement of his body, he sprang out like a cheetah and rushed straight towards the old man who had a strong death aura.
These people had murderous intentions around them, and it was obvious that they had bad intentions. During Xiao Yu's questioning, although these people did not directly admit it, they indirectly revealed their identity as assassins. How could such people reveal who was behind the scenes?
Moreover, these people were able to accurately find the branch hall where Xiao Yu was retreating. Sufficient investigation must have been done in advance, and Xiao Yu guessed that Shui Ling'er's sudden departure must be related to these people, otherwise the timing would be too coincidental.
Teasing the tiger away from the mountain, Xiao Yu's heart trembled when he thought of this. The person who can transfer the third demon general is definitely not something that an ordinary elder, Shui Changhui, can do. This person has a very high status in the mermaid tribe, but Xiao Yu can conclude that,
It's definitely not Shui Ningrou. With Shui Ningrou's status and strength, if she really wants to kill him, there's no need to go to such trouble. A random demon general can kill him.
Although Xiao Yu had doubts in his mind as to who was behind this, he did not hesitate in his actions and struck first. This is Xiao Yu's consistent style. Only by catching the opponent off guard can he counterattack.
However, before these assassins came back, they had obviously done enough research on Xiao Yu. When Xiao Yu rushed towards the old man with a strong sense of death, the man immediately flew back to prevent Xiao Yu from getting close. It was obvious that Xiao Yu had already learned that
The physical body is terrifying.
"Disperse!" The old man with a strong sense of death, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes, issued an order to the remaining assassins around him, and immediately formed seals with his hands to condense his magic.
The remaining nine assassins, after receiving the order, immediately retreated and kept a sufficient distance from Xiao Yu. They either formed seals to release magic, or directly used magic weapons to attack. Without any hesitation, they took action almost simultaneously. Obviously,
These people have practiced many times and have a tacit understanding. They kill Xiao Yu with one blow and refuse to give him any chance to counterattack.
The source of power surged in the branch hall, and three water dragons about ten feet long roared in. Flying swords and magic weapons broke through the air and struck down. There was also a big seal that shook the sky, and a pagoda subdued demons. In an instant, the branch hall was shining brightly, as bright as day, and a line of immortal magic condensed.
The three-foot-long shark came out, showing its sharp teeth. Driven by the old man with a strong sense of death, it broke through the air and swallowed Xiaoyu.
Facing the attack of everyone, Xiao Yu did not panic at all, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth. When he was about to be overwhelmed by many magical arts and magic weapons, Xiao Yu turned over his hand and took out a shield surrounded by khaki light. He held it on his right index finger.
The dragon-patterned ring immediately emitted a silver-white light curtain.
"Rumble!" All kinds of rays of light drowned Xiao Yu. Ring-shaped ripples of source power struck everywhere. The branch hall shook violently and made a thunder-like sound. It lasted for three seconds before the bright light became dim.
.
At this moment, the ten assassins who sneaked into the branch hall to assassinate Xiao Yu all showed a confident smile. Although the magic weapons they sacrificed were only magic weapons and their magical skills were only yellow-level, when used together, they were extremely powerful, even if they transformed into infants.
Immortal cultivators also have to avoid it, not to mention that Xiaoyu is only a fourth-level phantom. Even if his physical body is strong, he cannot withstand the combined attack of many immortal arts and magic weapons.
At this moment, all ten assassins, without exception, believed that Xiao Yu's body was gone and that he would definitely die. However, the moment the bright light in the center of the crowd dissipated, the expressions of the ten assassins suddenly changed, and their eyes were full of horror.
"Impossible, why is he still alive?" The sturdy assassin looked at Xiao Yu in front of him and said in a voiceless voice.
At this moment, Xiaoyu was shrouded in a silver-white light curtain. Outside the silver-white light curtain, a shield magic weapon with earthy yellow light flowing like a tortoise shell was flying around Xiao Yu. Both of these magic weapons were elementary level.
Among the defensive weapons, one is a dragon pattern ring presented by Shui Ningrou, and the other is a magic weapon given to Xiaoyu by Lei Tuohai for self-defense after he killed Hu Juan of the Tianshan sect.
Even if ten mermaid assassins jointly attack, they are extremely powerful, but protected by two primary defensive spiritual weapons, they cannot harm Xiao Yu at all. Moreover, Xiao Yu can only passively use these two spiritual weapons at present.
Defense, if you are truly proficient, will be even more powerful.
Xiaoyu glanced with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. The old man with a strong sense of death jumped out instantly, like a tiger descending from the mountain. His momentum was terrifying. He clenched his right hand into a fist and punched it out quickly.
The face of the old man with a strong sense of death changed slightly. He had already heard about Xiao Yu's physical strength, so naturally he would not confront him head-on. He immediately backed away, slapped the storage bag on his waist, and a green bead flew out.
out.
The old man with a strong sense of death did not waste a moment. The moment the green bead appeared, he immediately made a gesture and activated it. The powerful spiritual power fluctuation condensed into a strong wind and blew towards Xiaoyu.
"Defective spiritual weapon!" Xiao Yu frowned slightly, these assassins were really well prepared.
But Xiaoyu didn't panic. His attack on the old man who was full of murderous aura was originally a deception. At this moment, he used the power of the strong wind to perform Shadow Step and disappeared in an instant.
"Not good!" The old man with a strong sense of death suddenly changed his face when he saw this scene. However, before he could remind him, Xiao Yu suddenly appeared behind a third-level phantom assassin.
"Death!" Xiao Yu's voice was cold and bone-chilling, and he pointed like a knife and quickly slashed at the assassin's neck.
This person looked frightened. Xiaoyu appeared so suddenly that he had no time to react. In extreme reluctance, his head flew up high, still maintaining the frightened expression before death. The headless corpse spurted out a jet of water many feet high.
Blood suddenly fell to the ground.
But Xiaoyu didn't stop at all. He didn't even look at the corpse. He opened his mouth and spit out a silver-white flying sword filled with electric light. It turned into a rainbow and pierced the strong man closest to him.
That assassin.
The strong assassin, although his cultivation level is strong and has reached the realm of fake infants. However, under the attack of the inferior spiritual weapon driven by Xiao Yu who secretly used the secret technique Tianyuan and whose cultivation level has also reached the ninth level of phantom, any defense is at a loss.
In vain, the magic weapon collapsed, and the strong and sturdy Jian Gu was split in half by the silver-white flying sword.
During this period, Xiao Yu used the Xuan-level primary magic shadow step, like a ghost, with a blurry figure. He killed three assassins in a row, then retracted the silver-white flying sword, stopped, and said coldly
Look at the remaining five assassins.
The remaining five people, under the glance of Xiao Yu's ice-cold eyes, were trembling, and their faces were pale and bloodless. Killing five people in a row was too terrifying, even the person who had reached the fourth level of infant transformation.
, the old man with a strong sense of death also had a look of horror in his eyes, and for a moment he did not dare to act rashly.
In fact, Xiao Yu is not at ease now. He killed five phantom stage assassins in a row. It seemed simple, but it was actually caused by the other party's contempt. These people were very confident in their joint attack, but they did not expect that Xiao Yu would have two initial attacks.
They used a first-class spiritual weapon and a second-class spiritual weapon to defend themselves, and they did not expect that Xiaoyu was like a ghost, so fast that they could not react, and they were attacked and killed five people one after another.
If it were a head-to-head confrontation, it would be possible to kill everyone unless Xiaoyu used his strange fire and used all his trump cards. Moreover, the opponent also had a fourth-level infant transformation powerhouse and inferior spiritual weapons for self-defense. There was no way he could defeat him.
Between the two statements.
The strange fire is said to burn nothing, and even the most powerful immortals will perish if they encounter it. However, this kind of strange fire can only achieve its power when driven by the laws of heaven and earth. The refined strange fire is incompatible with the cultivation of immortals.
Because they are closely related, the stronger the power, the more terrifying the flame will be. Now Xiaoyu can only barely control the strange fire.
"Her Majesty the Queen is Xiao's master, and I don't want to make it difficult for her. No matter who gives you instructions today, I will let it go for the time being. If there is another time, I will kill you without mercy and take their bodies with you, get out!
"Xiao Yu shouted in a cold voice.
Xiao Yu is not a murderous person, but he is definitely not a soft-hearted person. Xiao Yu will not leave alive anyone who has murderous intentions towards him. But the situation is different now. This is Bailong Stream, the power of the mermaid tribe, Xiao Yu
After all, he is an outsider. If he kills all these people, no matter what the reason is, once word spreads, he will not be able to leave Bailongjian.
If the remaining five people are let go, although they will not be grateful to themselves, they will not go out to publicize what happened today. Once Shui Ningrou finds out, they will not be easy. Knowing that Xiao Yu is a disciple of the Queen, they still dare to come
Assassination, does this clearly tell the tribe that they will resist the Queen's seizure of power, and then the entire mermaid tribe will be in chaos, which they cannot afford.
The old man with a strong sense of death took a deep look at Xiao Yu, nodded hesitantly, and ordered the others to pick up the body and leave. Although the old man with a strong sense of death was unwilling to do so, the threat of Xiao Yu possessing three spiritual weapons was too great, and in a short time
They couldn't be killed within the time limit. If they waited until Shui Ling'er returned, none of them would be able to escape.
Xiao Yu watched the remaining five people leave coldly, took back the three spiritual weapons, took out the octagonal jade table from the storage ring, filled two cups of green wood tea, looked at the deserted place next to him, and said: "
Fellow Taoist, since you are here, why don’t you show up and have tea together?”
