"It's really embarrassing that I'm ranked behind Eugene."
Li Xuan felt very upset when he thought that Eugene would laugh at him severely when he knew about this incident.
But now was not a good time to be distracted. Seeing that Li Xuan was slightly distracted, the monk assassin took action without hesitation.
A cloud of smoke exploded among the branches, and the assassin's figure disappeared instantly. The next second, he appeared behind Li Xuan. The dagger in his hand stabbed out like lightning, hitting Li Xuan in the back of the heart.
.
This instant movement was simply too fast. The assassin had used this move nine times, and all nine targets had died under this move, so he was quite confident.
It's a pity that Li Xuan is an extraordinary guy. What makes him extraordinary is not only that he has had the experience of being a human for two lifetimes on earth, but more importantly, he also has many wonderful magic weapons.
When the knife stabbed Li Xuan's body, it didn't have the imagined resistance of tearing muscles. Instead, it felt like it was stabbed in a ball of cotton, which was soft and weird.
"This is!"
The assassin's pupils instantly dilated when he saw the silver inner armor exposed under the punctured robe.
Unfortunately, he had no chance to make up for this mistake. Li Xuan waved his hand and hit him in the chest.
Flames spat out from the palm of his hand, turning the assassin into a pile of ashes within a second.
He didn't even leave his name, and became a lonely ghost in this wild jungle.
Li Xuan waved his hand, and a gust of wind blew past, blowing away the remaining ashes of the assassin.
"I died without even having a chance to show off the Nightmare and Divine Soul Fire. It was really an unchallenging battle."
Li Xuan was a little unhappy.
In fact, this assassin is very strong. If Li Xuan hadn't arranged the secret barrier learned from Eugene, and was approached by this assassin from behind and launched a sneak attack, it would have been difficult to predict the outcome.
But Li Xuan now is no better than when he left the Spring and Autumn Empire. At that time, it was really difficult to deal with Pang Juan without using some off-the-chart moves.
Now Li Xuan is confident enough that even if three Pang Juans surround him, he is sure to resolve the battle within five minutes.
"Perhaps I can challenge Xiao Du."
Li Xuan thought confidently.
Of course, challenging Xiao Du is just a thought. The most important thing for Li Xuan now is to go home.
Two days later, Li Xuan finally appeared in the Spring and Autumn Empire on the north side of the Yuelong Mountains. At this time, a faint uneasiness emerged in his heart.
"What's going to happen?"
Ever since he stepped into the Moon Dragon Mountains two days ago, Li Xuan has always had a sense of crisis. This is a monk's intuition. Although it may not always work, once this happens, it always makes people feel uneasy.
"Maybe I think too much."
Li Xuan made an excuse for himself.
Before this thought went away, Li Xuan trembled somewhere in his heart, and a sound like glass breaking sounded in his heart.
"Shadow Seed!"
Li Xuan was shocked. He finally knew why he had been restless these past few days.
It was the Shadow Seed he left to his parents when he left Vanilla Village. He once said that if he encountered any danger, he would crush the Shadow Seed and he would receive the message no matter how far away he was.
Now that Shadowseed has issued a warning, are the parents really in danger?
Deep in the Moon Dragon Mountains, Vanilla Village.
The village still retains its original appearance when Li Xuan left, but the people in the village have changed.
Village chief Huang Feng and dozens of villagers were locked up in a warehouse in the center of the village.
An unknown number of people were hiding in other houses in the village, while a bonfire was burning in the open space outside the warehouse.
There were several naked and strong men beside the fire. The pigs that the villagers had finally raised were chopped into pieces and roasted on the fire.
The fat dripped from the meat pieces and fell on the flames, making a "squeaking" sound and emitting an alluring aroma.
The prisoners in the warehouse could only swallow secretly when they smelled the aroma.
"Boss, is this move really possible?"
A fat man with a fat head and big ears, who looked like a stupid pig, held a pig leg in his hand and gnawed it while asking a red-bearded man next to him.
The big man with a red beard was the leader of this group of strong men. He sneered: "When will I, the red-bearded Veda, be considered a miss?
If he dares to step foot into this village, I will take his head!"
"Boss Shenwu!"
Several other strong men flattered him in unison, and the red-bearded Veda was even more elated. He really felt that he was invincible.
Red-bearded Veda is by no means an ordinary person. This man and his group of desperadoes make a living by robbing in the Moon Dragon Mountains, and they are extremely ferocious.
A few days ago, he heard that Xiao Du had issued a fatwa, so he racked his brains to get the bounty.
The first person on the fatwa was the elf prince Eugene. No matter how courageous Redbeard was, he would not dare to make an enemy of the prince of a country. Although the bounty for the first place was rich, the life flower was of no use.
The second place is the Iron Hook Huo Tielang who roams the East China Sea. He is the pirate king with hundreds of warships under his command, and Red Beard cannot afford to offend him.
The first and second place were both untouchable. The unknown guy named Li Xuan in the third place aroused Redbeard's interest, especially the bounty of 10,000 gold ingots, which made his eyes as red as his beard.
Redbeard made up his mind to kill Li Xuan to collect the bounty, so he sent his gangsters to inquire about Li Xuan's news, and actually found out Li Xuan's birthplace.
What happened next was much simpler. Red Beard led dozens of his men and captured all of Li Xuan's relatives and friends, locking them all in the warehouse of Vanilla Village. Then he set up an ambush and quietly waited for Li Xuan to take the bait.
"Boss, if you crush this little thing, can you really let that boy named Li Xuan know that his parents are in danger?"
The gangsters under Red Beard were more than brave but not smart enough. A gangster named Stupid Donkey was playing with the broken Shadow Seed in his hand and asked Red Beard stupidly.
"If the military advisor says it can be done, it can be done."
Redbeard said impatiently.
"The military advisor should be well-informed, otherwise who would know how powerful this thing is."
Stupid Donkey said sincerely.
The military advisor they talked about was sitting in the corner with his eyes closed and meditating.
Different from other gangsters who have gnarled muscles and ferocious faces, this military advisor is a very handsome young man, and his body is very thin and does not look like he has any muscles.
However, when the gangsters including Red Beard mention him, they will show admiration, which shows his status among this group of people.
"Anyway, everyone has eaten and drank enough. When that kid comes, let's show him how awesome he is."
Redbeard said loudly.
The gangsters cheered in unison and ate the meat with big mouthfuls. Each of them had a fierce look in their eyes, waiting for Li Xuan to take the bait.
At this time, Li Xuan was on his way back to Vanilla Village, speculating about his parents' situation all the way.
