Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

"Blood Shadow Tower?"

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes into slits, a bone-chilling coldness rising within his gaze.

As far as he knew,

behind Blood Shadow Tower stood Yang Yuhuan of the Great Qian Dynasty, the unparalleled War God, but his conflict with Yang Yuhuan had already been resolved long ago.

Moreover...

Yang Yuhuan was the War God of the Great Qian Dynasty. Though he was known to act domineeringly, it was all out of his loyalty to the Great Qian Dynasty. Otherwise, Emperor Qian would not have tolerated him for so long. Now that Xiao Yi was a hero of the Great Qian Dynasty, Yang Yuhuan would definitely not send assassins to kill him at such a time.

The image of a person flashed through Xiao Yi's mind as he sized up the three men with squinted eyes, "Did Yang Kun send you?"

The three were also startled.

They hadn't expected Xiao Yi to guess right away that they had been sent by Yang Kun.

The leading figure clad in blood-red robes sighed and said in a deep voice, "Director Xiao, I am Xue Asura, the second Tower Master of Blood Shadow Tower. This is the third Tower Master, Xue Futu; the fourth, Xue Yinkuang; the fifth, Xue Arhat... We four brothers have always followed our lord, managing Blood Shadow Tower on his behalf. We truly admire your achievement in conquering Southern Ice City, but..."

Xue Futu, with an expressionless face, said coldly, "Big brother, why are you beating around the bush?"

"Xiao Yi..."

The burly Xue Luo suddenly threw a jar of alcohol towards him, his voice rumbling like thunder, "I, Xue Luo, respect you as a true man and don't wish to deceive you. The overall Tower Master is in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Nine Nirvana Realm and has handed over the control of Blood Shadow Tower. We four brothers are here on the Great Prince Yang Kun's orders to kill you. In today's battle, we four brothers will not hold back; life and death will be left to fate!"

On one hand, there was respect for what Xiao Yi had done.

On the other hand, they could not defy the rules of the Blood Shadow Tower.

Yet Xiao Yi also felt a trace of respect for these four men, he slapped the seal on the jar of alcohol thrown by Xue Luo, gulped down a few mouthfuls, and burst out laughing, "Then let's fight!"

Boom!

He pushed the jar forcefully, launching it explosively towards the four men.

As the jar spun, swirling rapidly, it suddenly emitted a huge roar in mid-air and exploded with a bang.

Within the jar, sharp Sword Qi mixed with alcohol and shards shot out like fiery meteors.

"Well done!"

Xue Futu's eyes focused, and his white bone whip seemed to fuse with his arm, flicking it lightly.

Crack!

The white bone whip seemed to have eyes, striking each and every piece of shattered fragments accurately.

At the same time...

Xue Asura swiftly repositioned himself in retreat, as light as a swallow, sticking close to the ground as he moved.

Swish swish swish!

His arms seemed to multiply into thousands, like a Thousand-Armed Guanyin, each movement trailing cold, sharp projectiles slicing through the air.

Whether throwing knives, poisoned needles, or crossbows...

Xue Asura's hidden weapon technique was unparalleled.

Xiao Yi relied on his exquisite movement technique, repeatedly dodging the sudden assaults of hidden weapons.

At the same time, he had to deal with assaults from the other three, finding himself constrained at every turn.

All three men were masters of the Nirvana Realm.

Especially Xue Asura, who was in the Fifth Layer of Nirvana Realm, and given his regular dealings in life-and-death trades, his attacks were crisp and efficient, almost always hitting their mark.

Besides him...

The strength of the other three was relatively even, as they were all just entering the Nirvana Realm.

He was simultaneously facing the encirclement of four assailants, all seasoned in battle, adept at killing—the kings of assassins.

Even with his impressive fighting strength, Xiao Yi repeatedly faced danger.

Boom!

Amidst the loud noise,

Xue Luo was seen gripping the central pillar within the treasury with both hands, exerting a force to uproot mountains, yanking the entire pillar out of the ground. His hands encircling a huge stone pillar over two meters in diameter and several meters long, Xue Luo stepped forward with a resonating stomp and swung the pillar brutally towards Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi pointed his finger, and with a loud boom, shattered the stone pillar to pieces.

At the same time, his sword's tip flicked upward.

Thump!

Xue Arhat let out a muffled grunt as his throat was severed by Xiao Yi's sword. He clutched at his throat with both hands, blood spurting uncontrollably from between his fingers.

"The first one!"

Xiao Yi's gaze then shifted to Xue Futu, his eyes instantly turning ice cold as he leaped into the air.

Xue Asura smiled coldly, "As expected, too young, in such a confined space, the last thing you should do is take to the air — Arhat Peacock!"

Behind Xue Asura, a blood-colored peacock dharma form appeared in midair, gazing coldly at Xiao Yi. With a shake of its tail, the peacock spread its feathers. The dazzling Peacock Screen shimmered entrancingly, adorned with what looked like precious jewels. Amidst drifting red lights, a continuous whizzing noise could be heard.

Suddenly, countless hidden weapons burst forth from the Peacock Screen.

Tens of thousands of hidden weapons.

In an instant, they covered the entire treasury.

Xue Futu gave a cold shout, his bone whip splitting into nine strands, each winding around Xiao Yi's waist like bone pythons.

Thud, thud!

Xue Futu's legs slammed into the ground like steel picks drilling into the earth, and at the same time, he pulled tightly on the chains. With a fierce tug, he hurled Xiao Yi into the sky full of hidden weapons.

Xue Yinkuang was not idle either, his hands tightly gripping the ice-blue war saber in his hands.

"Xue Yinkuang Saber!"

The ice-blue war saber shot out a thirty-meter long saber light, forming a wall of saber beams, cutting off all of Xiao Yi's escape routes.

Xiao Yi had no retreat, no avoidance.

It seemed he was about to die under the hidden weapons.

But at that moment...

A slight upward curve appeared on Xiao Yi's lips, as he suddenly shook his body, forcefully breaking free from the binding of the bone whip. With a flick of both hands, he grabbed the long whip and violently flung Xue Futu, who was rooted to the spot, into the sky filled with hidden weapons.

"No..."

Xue Futu's face was filled with despair.

Thud, thud, thud!

Numerous poisoned hidden weapons hit his body, clearing a path for Xiao Yi.

"The second one!"

Xiao Yi dashed forward with a Swallow Skimming Water movement, easily dodging countless hidden weapons, and appeared in front of the stunned Xue Yinkuang. The Falling Dust Sword, as if becoming one with his arm, slashed across. Xue Yinkuang's complexion changed rapidly as he raised his long saber to block above his head. However, Xiao Yi's sword was unstoppable.

Clang!

With one swing of the sword.

The saber broke, the man died!

"The third one..."

Xiao Yi swiftly turned his head and looked towards Xue Asura.

Hiss!

Xue Asura's pupils constricted violently, his eyes reflecting uncertainty. He never expected that under their joint attack, Xiao Yi would remain so overwhelming.

Easily killing three men.

So calm!

So decisive!

What kind of youth was this?

He was clearly an old hand on the battlefield, more fearsome than the King of Assassins himself!

"Damn it... I shouldn't have listened to that fool Yang Kun and been lured into killing him..."

Regret filled Xue Asura's heart, but there was nothing he could do. He glared at Xiao Yi, no longer having the will to fight.

His figure disappeared in a flash.

Rushing towards the exit of the treasury.

"Since you've come, don't even think about leaving!"

Xiao Yi snorted coldly, chasing after him immediately.

However...

Just as he reached the entrance of the treasury tunnel, he heard Xue Asura's scream from outside. Then, a commanding voice also came from outside the cave, "Xiao Yi, I am Wang Yanzhao, the General of the Sword Dynasty, and you are now surrounded by my Flying Wolf Army. Surrender quietly!"
