Devour

Chapter 342 Hidden Assassin

Hong Yingjie waved the big flag and shouted, "Traitor, who are you?"

Elder Tu, who looked like an immortal, changed his appearance and turned from a white-haired old man into a middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples. He sighed and said, "I have no choice. If I want to severely inflict a heavy blow on the legendary Beiyin, how can I kill him in one fell swoop if I don't replace a Beiling elder first?"

Yao Yingying asked hurriedly, "Where is Elder Tu?"

The middle-aged man said casually, "The way of a killer is to die in silence. I can't remember which cliff of Ninghua Mountain the body was thrown to."

"How dare you, a wicked villain named Min, kill Junior Brother Tu!"

"Min Xu, you are such a ruthless person, I will make you pay with blood!"

The two supreme elders of Beiling Sword Sect were so furious that their momentum was almost violent. They controlled their flying swords and attacked the middle-aged man together.

Hong Yingjie's face was as cold as ice, his deep eyes flashed with cold light, and he said in a deep voice: "The leader of the Tumin Society in the previous generation, Min Qi, who was ranked 61st among the 72 sages for his way of ice, and was known as the 'Northern Cold Wind'. If he doesn't take action, it's fine, but once he does, he will do anything he can."

Facing the siege from the two elders, Min Qi's palms and fingers flew, and two white snowflakes appeared in the air like ice crystal shields, which steadily resisted the attacks of the two flying swords.

There were continuous clanging sounds, and the sword energy was dissipated in the flying ice chips. He was forced to retreat half a step and hung at the end of the corner of the top of the tower, like a leaf blown by the wind, swaying and ready to fall at any time, but unable to fall.

The former assassin king was still relaxed and said calmly: "Elder Wen, Elder Feng, I don't have a 100% chance of winning against the two of you alone, but I am definitely not coming here to challenge you out of confidence today."

Tu Yang's mind locked onto the battle situation on the top of the tower. Seeing that the situation was developing as expected, he shouted excitedly: "Li Ying, Diao Jin, what are you two hesitating about? Hurry up and join forces!"

A pink flower floated over from the top of Mount Dai in the northwest, seemingly slowly but actually quickly. A pink-dressed woman sat in the middle of the huge petals, saying coquettishly, "Let me take Queen Yao's head first! If you achieve a brilliant feat of killing the saint, you will surely be famous and renowned!"

From the western wilderness, a thin old man with a pointed chin and monkey-like face came running as fast as an arrow. He said before he arrived: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient! I have short legs and I run slowly. You two should fight for a few moves first."

Hong Yingjie identified the identity of the visitor and said, "The 68th on the Sage List is 'Poison Fairy' Li Ying, and the 65th is 'Stagnant Killer Star' Diao Jin."

"You dare say you can take my head with just a sword wound? You're dreaming..." Yao Yingying pushed the Xiaoqian Dragon Crown out of the body steadily with her fingertips, without even a drop of blood splashing.

She used her inner energy to suppress the magic weapon, and suddenly found that the wound was black. She gradually felt weak all over, and her face changed drastically: "Not good... The sword blade is poisonous!"

Li Ying sat cross-legged in the air, smiling charmingly: "Wow, hahaha... the sword tip has been tempered by the 'Seven Flowers and One Core Paste' that I carefully prepared. Even a celestial being cannot escape the toxin if it enters the body. It won't take long for the whole body to become paralyzed, respiratory failure and hallucinations to occur. In seven hours, the life will be gone."

Min Xu's palms were covered with flying snowflakes, which condensed into dozens of ice crystal shields to block the sword attacks of Elders Wen and Feng. He urged them, "Bei Yin is very skilled, you three should kill her quickly, otherwise there will be trouble. Elders Wen and Feng are also powerful figures who have made it onto the sage rankings. I will hold them off for a while."

Zhai Xufei watched the chaotic scene from high above and sneered, "The assassin used despicable tricks. If we don't intervene and help, the queen will be in trouble."

"Let's go down and help..." Cheng Bai keenly noticed the slight change, and quickly deduced in his mind and changed his mind, "...don't act yet! The number of troops sent by the Ladder of All Things is obviously wrong! The situation is not as simple as it seems on the surface."

Li Tong praised: "Your analysis is good. We will see what will happen next. It would be a joke if a few earthly immortals in the Marrow Cleansing Realm could break through the Ladder of All Things!"

Bei Tingjun agreed: "The one who controls the throne of the Ladder of All Things is equivalent to having the endless power provided by the core of this life planet. The killer did not use an instantly lethal poison. Within seven hours, the queen will gather enough energy and will not lose."

"A huge army fighting in formation, cooperating with veteran masters to assassinate the powerful man behind the Beiling Sword Sect... No! Tu Min will be a sacrifice to attract firepower, not the main purpose." Cheng Bai activated the Phoenix Power and sensed something unusual in the city, and suddenly woke up.

His face was full of solemnity, and he ordered: "Di Xuan is definitely not interested in this! He is still here to target the emperor's son... Li Tong, quickly open the Netherworld Road and send us to the sewer."

A white cloud in the sky quietly disappeared. The fierce and tense battlefield was focused on the fight of life and death, and no one cared about the details of other things.

Hong Yingjie held a large flag in his hand and issued a command: "My fellow disciples, quickly form the 'Putian Pure Land Sword Formation' and support our two great uncles in breaking through this fellow's Snow Jade Skill in one fell swoop."

The sixty-four disciples followed the instructions and used their unique skills, manipulating the flying swords in their hands to dance and form a new formation.

The Pu Tian Pure Land Sword Formation further revealed the exquisiteness of the mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements. The sword energy flowed and emitted brilliant light, interweaving into a strong and thick sword net to block the snowflakes of cold air.

Elders Wen and Feng were well versed in the secrets of sword formations. They acted decisively and coordinated with their disciples to attack together, controlling their flying swords to their full potential.

Everyone worked together to unleash their might, and a dense sword net suddenly swept towards Min Li. The sharp sword lights penetrated everywhere, and the fierce moves suppressed the power of the snow jade, forcing Min Li to repeatedly reveal his flaws and be unable to defend himself.

Elder Feng shouted, "We practice the Purple Yang Sword Qi to counter the Yin Cold Poison. Today we will kill you, Bei Linglifeng, with our swords, and enhance the prestige of our Bei Ling Sword Sect!"

Min Yu was surrounded by enemies, but he was not panicked even though he had more defenders than attackers. He smiled and said quietly, "The elites of the Beiling Sword Sect are all gathered here. Why don't you act quickly? When are you waiting?"

Li Ying, Diao Jin and Tu Yang were approaching from different directions but had not yet launched an attack.

Elder Wen didn't understand what the other party was shouting. He thought it would be best to do his best to get rid of a strong enemy first, so he said angrily: "I will defeat you even if it costs my life." After that, he used his flying sword to attack more fiercely.

Hong Yingjie waved the big flag to command the change of the formation, and when the time was right, he said: "Draw a line on the ground as a prison, and wait for the passing years to bloom!"

Following the command, the sixty-six people focused their attention and moved forward bravely. Their moves were as smooth as flowing water, and they showed the power of the sword formation in the face of powerful enemies.

The numerous flying swords changed their moves and burst into brilliant sword lights, which converged and trapped Min Xun like sixty-six dragons of light, forming a sword prison that imprisoned the previous killer king.

The Snow Jade Skill that Min Yu practiced was extremely powerful, with a bone-chilling cold current rolling and freezing the surrounding air. The Beiling Sword Sect disciples who were confronting him were counterattacked one after another, and their bodies were condensed with thick frost as if frozen.

For a moment, neither side could move.

Finally, they succeeded in trapping Min. Elders Wen and Feng suddenly felt a chill down their spines and cried out in surprise at the same time: "Oh no! How could this happen?"

This move was extremely powerful and could lock up a powerful enemy, but it also trapped the enemy's own side. When the order was given, everyone concentrated on launching the sword formation and coordinated closely, with no time to look around.

Now that we are in a stalemate, we feel something is wrong! Three powerful enemies are approaching quickly, how can we be in such a restricted state where everyone is motionless?

Elder Wen was extremely anxious, with sweat on his forehead that had frozen into ice. He shouted hurriedly, "Yingjie, you are the only one who can attack now, kill this beast quickly!"

Min Xun's Qi and blood were all difficult to circulate, but he was still able to speak, letting out a sinister sneer: "Hehehe... Who are you calling? Is there anyone willing to answer?"

Elders Wen and Feng exchanged glances, and an extremely terrifying thought came to their minds, but it was too late.

Tu Yang rushed to the top of the Ladder of All Things with a stride as fast as the wind, and laughed wildly: "Haha! If it weren't for the help of the 'expert' of Beiling Sword Sect, Elder Tu is at least the 69th ranked sage, how could he be defeated so easily by Brother Li?"

Li Ying urged the pink flower to float closer in mid-air, and snorted coldly, "When Bei Linlifeng was at the peak of his power as the leader of the Tumin Society, he was afraid of the growth of the Beiling Sword Sect, and secretly sent an elite from the Min family to infiltrate the sect. Who could have expected that he would eventually be promoted to the head of the Beiling Sword Sect."

Tu Yang continued, "This matter is a secret. Apart from us old immortals, even the current leader Min Wushuang knows nothing about it."

Diao Jin was the slowest, and he shouted from a distance, "Have you finalized the layout of your hidden assassins? Let me climb up and take advantage of any loopholes!"
