Xiandao Linglong

Chapter 132 Sudden Robbery

After leaving Du Youyou, Ye Qi looked at the circled place on the map. This was the map Shu'er left for him. The circled place should be the place she wanted to meet.

At this moment, I was really worried that she would lose her way without a map, or be cheated by someone. Although I was not worried about her strength, her greedy look really made me worry.

"Junior brother! Do you feel any murderous aura around you?" When the two of them came to a fork in the road, Wu Bai suddenly stopped, looked around nervously and vigilantly, and asked in a low voice.

"Murderous intent? You can even sense something so ethereal as this? Senior Brother, you're really kidding!"

After hearing what Wu Bai said, Ye Qi laughed and said, if it was the fluctuation of spiritual power, or the threat of demonic power, then when one's strength reaches a certain level, this kind of aura can really be formed, but how can one possibly perceive murderous aura, which only exists in the consciousness like an illusory thing?

"I was quite alert. I never thought I'd run into a master like you here!"

Just when Ye Qi was still chuckling nonchalantly, suddenly several men jumped down from the tree and landed on the ground without raising a speck of dust. Looking at their light movements, it was still unknown how strong these people were, but what was certain was that they were all rigorously trained killers.

"We don't seem to have any grudges against each other, right? Why would you become an enemy of us two brothers?"

This time, Wu Bai did not act as casually as he did in the past, with his hands in his sleeves. After all, the killers this time were truly experienced. Compared to those immortal cultivators, these professional killers were more threatening here!

One of the killers ignored Wu Bai's question and took out a portrait from his treasure bag. He then held it up, looked at Ye Qi, then at the portrait, and smiled slightly. He then put the portrait away and said, "It really is you! I found you so easily. It seems like a piece of cake!"

"What's the matter with me?"

"Stop talking nonsense, surrender if you know what's best for you. My wife wants to see you!"

"Madam? Who is your madam?"

Ye Qi was very puzzled. He thought that he seldom dealt with women in his life and almost avoided provoking them if possible. But where did this lady suddenly appear from?

"My wife said that if you surrender, I won't hurt you. If you raise more than three questions, I'll chop off your hands and feet, leaving you with a mouth that can beg for mercy. So, I'm sorry!"

Seeing the two men attacking him, Ye Qi moved extremely quickly and subconsciously dodged while saying, "I only asked two questions. When did I ask three?"

"Isn't this the third question?"

"You... it's such a waste of your talent to be a killer!" Ye Qi didn't know how to refute for a moment, and said gritting his teeth.

"Five Shadow Return Killing Technique!"

The mysterious killers looked at each other, and attacked at the same time with telepathy. Their coordination was like five shadows of the same person, moving and stopping together. Within the range of twenty steps in diameter, every time the five shadows rushed and flashed, they blocked all of Ye Qi's retreat routes.

This isn't some advanced martial art, but a true assassination technique developed through years of practice among the five people. This level of tacit understanding is like the telepathy between brothers. If anyone is even a moment slower, there will be an irreparable flaw!

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

Just as the five men attacked again, five black shadows flashed quickly around Ye Qi. Every time they were about to touch Ye Qi's body, a long sword would block them, frightening the five men and making them retreat hurriedly.

Seeing that they had pulled away from each other, Wu Bai also put away his sword and said, "The cooperation is tacit, but the body movement is much worse. No matter how strong a mortal is, he is still a mortal. Even if a cultivator has lost his spiritual energy, he is still a cultivator!"

"You're lucky! No one will be able to save you next time!"

As soon as the words fell, five black shadows disappeared into the forest, leaving only Ye Qi and the other two standing there. Just as Wu Bai was about to help check the sword wound on his body, Ye Qi stopped him with a wave of his hand and shouted to the jungle: "Everyone, did you enjoy the show?"

After Ye Qi finished speaking, the forest was silent for a moment as usual, but Ye Qi still stood there motionless, with an extremely firm attitude, believing that his feelings were correct. Now it depends on who can't help it first!

"Brother Ye, you're quite skilled! Those five guys are well-known assassins. They've never failed in any of the missions they've taken on. Of course, they never take on assassination missions they're not sure of. I never expected to see them get thrashed today. I'm so lucky!"

"Who are you? If you have something to say, just say it directly. It's okay if you are secretive in doing things, but if you are secretive even in your words, that would be too insincere!" Ye Qi put away his sword and let down his guard, which also showed that he had no intention of taking action.

The man said with a bit of embarrassment, "My name is Mo Feng! Since Brother Ye has guessed my purpose, I'll be frank. There's a powerful beast in the valley not far away. I'd like to ask you two to join forces with me. We can split the points we win, or you two can take the lion's share and leave some for me!"

"You're quite generous, but since it's a ferocious beast, there's no need to risk its life for such a small number of points, right?"

Ye Qi looked at him and chuckled. He went to such great lengths to kill the ferocious beast and was willing to share the points with others, but in the end only a few fell into his hands. Unless he was a fool, this matter would definitely not be that simple.

"Since you want to cooperate, then tell me the truth. If you keep it hidden, no one will dare to tell you the truth!" Wu Bai also saw through the man's thoughts and spoke directly.

"Actually... there's a fourth-grade herb in there. To be honest, I'm an alchemist, and that herb is exactly the last one I need to make the elixir. If you can help me get it, I'll give you all the points I earned from killing the beast. You might even be able to get a demon pill from it, so you won't lose out!"

Mo Feng had been hanging around outside for many years. After Ye Qi and the others saw through his thoughts, he hurriedly raised the stakes to make up for it. It was not something that ordinary people could do to be so frank and bear the pain.

"According to your terms, we won't lose out, but this is based on the premise that the three of us need to work together to eliminate the beast. If the two of us can eliminate the beast, then you've just gotten a fourth-grade herb for nothing. This deal is not worth it!"
