Hearing the conversation between Ye Guan and Ji Xuan, the expressions on Big Sister and the others’ faces immediately turned strange!
These two had actually teamed up just like that?
When Ye Guan heard Ji Xuan’s words, he immediately laughed. “Good!”
Ji Xuan stared at Ye Guan and smiled. “Do you know what being with me might bring you?”
Ye Guan said, “Are you trying to say that being with you will make the Guanxuan Academy target me?”
Ji Xuan smiled. “Are you not afraid of the Guanxuan Academy?”
Ye Guan countered, “Miss, if you are with me, are you afraid of the An family and the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan?”
Ji Xuan blinked, then burst into laughter. “I am not afraid! Anyway, when you have many debts, you do not worry about more!”
Ye Guan nodded. “Same for me!”
Ji Xuan stared at Ye Guan, her smile brilliant. “You sword cultivator are really interesting!”
Ye Guan smiled faintly, then looked at Big Sister and the others. “I cannot continue the task with you! Otherwise, I will implicate you!”
He knew that this time, the one targeting him was either the An family or the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan!
Continuing with Big Sister and the others would only harm them.
After a moment of silence, Big Sister said, “You, be careful!”
Ye Guan nodded. “You should leave quickly!”
Big Sister looked at Ye Guan with a complicated expression. “Take care!”
With that, she led Xu Qin and Li Qian away!
As they passed Ye Guan, Xu Qin suddenly took out a storage ring and placed it in Ye Guan’s hand. “There are three Immortal-tier talismans inside. I hope they help you! Brother Ye, you must come back alive!”
Ye Guan smiled faintly. “Thank you!”
Xu Qin shook his head. “It is I who should thank you! Take care!”
With that, the three quickly walked into the distance and soon vanished into the night.
At that moment, Ji Xuan beside him suddenly smiled. “What is your plan?”
Ye Guan thought for a moment, then said, “No plan. Wait for them to come, then bury them!”
Ji Xuan stared at Ye Guan. “So confident?”
After pondering for a while, Ye Guan said, “This time, the assassination order on me can be divided into three stages. First stage: at the beginning, those people will underestimate my strength. After all, I am only in the Spatial Realm. This stage will be very easy for us.”
Ji Xuan asked, “What about the second stage?”
Ye Guan said, “Second stage: they will discover that my strength is much greater than they expected. At that point, they will take me seriously. Ordinary assassins will no longer dare take the task to kill me. So those who dare come will definitely be experts! Of course, I do not know the quality of the experts here.”
He looked at Ji Xuan.
Ji Xuan directly said, “What about the third stage?”
Ye Guan said seriously, “After the second stage, ordinary assassins here will definitely not dare come for me! True experts will reassess my strength. At that time, the mastermind behind it will have only two choices: first, increase the reward; second, give up.”
Ji Xuan smiled. “There is a third: they take the field themselves!”
Ye Guan nodded. “Yes!”
Ji Xuan smiled faintly. “With your strength, even in this Sin Abyss, those who can kill you number no more than ten!”
Ten people!
Ye Guan frowned slightly. “Are the people here so weak?”
Ji Xuan rolled her eyes. “Could it not be that you are too strong?”
Ye Guan was slightly stunned, then gave an embarrassed smile.
Ji Xuan shook her head. “You are pretending, right?”
Ye Guan quickly shook his head. “I have not been in the Central Divine Continent long. I do not know the powerhouses here well. The people I have killed are actually not many!”
As he spoke, he could not help shaking his head and smiling.
Actually, this was Little Tower’s fault!
It kept instilling in him the idea that he was very weak, always comparing him to the great clans of the Guanxuan Universe. Over time, he had imagined all his opponents to be on the level of Ye Guanzhi.
Ji Xuan smiled. “Those ten who can kill you are all old monsters here. Normally, the price would not move them, but if the one who wants to kill you is willing to pay enough, it will be different!”
Ye Guan stared at Ji Xuan. “What about if we team up?”
Ji Xuan blinked, waved her jade hand. “Slaughter them all!”
Ye Guan nodded. “So, as long as the mastermind does not take the field personally, we have no danger! If the mastermind does……”
He paused, then added, “Then our cooperation ends!”
He naturally would not require her to face the An family and Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan with him!
She owed him nothing!
One must be clear-headed, sincere, and play fewer mind games. After all, in this world, no one is foolish!
Hearing Ye Guan’s words, a flash of surprise passed through Ji Xuan’s eyes. She smiled but said nothing.
Though she thought this youth was good, she would not risk her life with him!
She was not some lovesick girl!
They were all adults!
Many times, one had to be realistic!
As if thinking of something, Ji Xuan suddenly said, “The two Guanxuan Academy students you killed earlier will definitely bring big trouble!”
Ye Guan was somewhat puzzled. “Why?”
Ji Xuan smiled. “Do not underestimate the Guanxuan Academy. Their intelligence network is extremely powerful. When that youth first lured you here, you did not hide your tracks. So once they investigate, they will eventually trace it back to you!”
She paused, then added, “Your three friends might very well betray you and push everything onto you!”
Ye Guan fell silent.
Ji Xuan smiled. “If they really do that, would you be angry?”
Ye Guan nodded. “Of course I would be angry. I am not a saint!”
Ji Xuan blinked. “Then would you regret saving them?”
Ye Guan shook his head. “I would not regret that!”
Ji Xuan was puzzled. “Why?”
Ye Guan glanced at Ji Xuan. “I saved them because of my principles as a person, and it was within my ability. If they end up harming me, I would be angry, but I would not regret it, because people are selfish. That is human nature. I can be angry and still understand. After all, if a person does not look out for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy them! However……”
He said calmly, “They would definitely die. I can save people, but I can also kill. Those who harm me, I will certainly bury!”
Ji Xuan suddenly burst into laughter!
She laughed unrestrainedly!
Ye Guan glanced at Ji Xuan, somewhat puzzled. Why did this girl laugh so easily?
At that moment, Ji Xuan smiled. “You sword cultivator are truly interesting! Clear about gratitude and grudges, with principles and a pure heart…… I just wonder how long you can keep it up!”
Ye Guan was about to speak when suddenly, both turned to look right. At the end of their vision, a black shadow could be faintly seen approaching!
Seeing the shadow, Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Here they come! Miss Ji Xuan, hide!”
Ji Xuan nodded, turned and flashed away, vanishing on the spot!
Ye Guan looked at the distant black shadow. It suddenly melted into the night and disappeared. The next moment, a cold gleam silently appeared behind him!
Direct attack!
As an assassin, one naturally needed an assassin’s awareness.
Those assassins who spouted a pile of nonsense before killing had graves overgrown with grass several zhang high!
The assassin’s speed was very fast, but to Ye Guan, it was just very slow!
Ye Guan turned, thrusting out a sword!
Slash!
A dagger stopped inches from Ye Guan’s forehead!
In front of Ye Guan stood a black-clothed person, a sword of air pressed against his forehead!
The black-clothed person said softly, “Such a fast sword!”
Ye Guan stared at him. “I only used thirty percent of my strength!”
The black-clothed person: “……”
Ye Guan wasted no more words, slashing out.
Slash!
The black-clothed person’s head flew off instantly!
Ye Guan took his storage ring, then waved his hand. A pile of earth was unearthed and covered the corpse!
If he said bury, he would bury!
At that moment, Ji Xuan appeared before Ye Guan. He checked the storage ring. Inside were one million two hundred thousand gold crystals!
Ye Guan took out six hundred thousand and handed them to Ji Xuan.
Ji Xuan shook her head. “Even without me, you could have killed him. I do not want this money!”
Ye Guan shook his head. “We agreed!”
Ji Xuan stared at Ye Guan. “Without me, you would still be fine!”
Ye Guan grinned. “Soon we will enter the third stage. Then the true powerhouses here will appear. At that time, I will need your help. Moreover, I plan to pull off something big!”
Ji Xuan blinked. “Something big?”
Ye Guan nodded. “Yes!”
Ji Xuan asked, “How?”
As she spoke, as if thinking of something, her cheeks suddenly flushed, but she forced herself to stay calm.
This youth seemed upright. He probably would not think crookedly!
Ye Guan indeed had not thought much. He smiled now. “Watch my performance!”
Ji Xuan was about to speak when she suddenly turned right, eyes narrowing slightly. “More people coming!”
Ye Guan said, “Hide!”
Ji Xuan turned and flashed away, vanishing completely!
Ye Guan looked into the distance. There, a youth slowly approached, a large blade on his shoulder, holding a cucumber in his left hand, biting it from time to time.
He dressed casually, chest exposed, with a dragon and white tiger painted on it, extremely fierce!
Tattoos?
Ye Guan frowned. This was a delinquent youth!
The youth glanced at Ye Guan, then said, “You are Ye Guan?”
Ye Guan nodded.
The youth grinned. “Someone has a bounty on you, thirty million gold crystals. I happen to be short on cash lately, so I want to borrow your head!”
Ye Guan glanced behind the youth, then said, “Just you alone?”
The youth smiled. “Is that not enough?”
Ye Guan eyed the youth’s storage ring, then said, “Why not call more people?”
The youth laughed heartily. “To kill you, one is enough!”
As his voice fell, he suddenly stepped forward, slashing fiercely at Ye Guan!
Slash!
Space was directly torn by his blade!
Spatial Realm!
Moreover, the blade momentum was sharp. Clearly a battle-hardened person!
Just then, Ye Guan suddenly sidestepped, dodging the blade by a hair’s breadth!
The man missed, stunned. The next moment, he was about to strike again when a sword pressed against his forehead!
The man’s expression froze, full of disbelief. “You…… are this strong?”
Ye Guan said seriously, “I did not expect you to look so fierce but be so weak in strength……”
He glanced at the man’s chest, then said, “Why tattoo a dragon and white tiger?”
The man said tremblingly, “To look tougher and intimidate people!”
Ye Guan frowned. “Intimidate?”
The man nodded quickly. “After tattooing, I look fiercer. Honest people see it and get scared, so……”
Ye Guan was speechless.
