I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 243: The Fierce Wild Goose
The owner of Qiufeng Tower?

Seeing the extremely impressive figure above his head, Xie Yuan subconsciously tensed up.

Has it been discovered?
This thought came to his mind, and he began to calculate the cards he currently had.

If it was conventional means, he would definitely not be able to withstand more than one move in front of the Lord of Qiufeng Tower; but it seemed that his confidence had been basically used up, and he only had a complete Bagua Lotus.

However, the Bagua Lotus was only used for comprehension in his hands. It was not a top-level magic weapon like in Mu Chaoyun's hands. Perhaps he could throw it out and use the indestructible property of the Black Book to block it.

But even if I can't stop it, I'm not alone this time.

Moreover, it does not necessarily mean that it has been exposed.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and Xie Yuan's tense muscles relaxed instantly. He bowed his head and saluted the figure in the sky:
"This subordinate has met the original poster!"

The owner of Qiufeng Tower quietly looked down at Xie Yuan below, and saw his nervous expression clearly.

But he didn't say anything. He had long been accustomed to everyone being afraid of him. Even the battle-hardened and cold-blooded subordinates in Qiufeng Tower would most likely be frightened to the point of dry mouth when seeing him.

He said calmly:

"Youyan, I have a mission for you today. Come out, this is also your distant uncle."

A young figure walked out of the house behind Qiufeng Tower Master, bowed slightly to Xie Yuan, and said:

"I've met my clan uncle."

Xie Yuan was stunned, looking at this old acquaintance, feeling a little strange.

"My dear nephew Tianchuan, you don't need to be polite."

He bowed his hands respectfully. Although he was a cousin, the two were worlds apart in terms of their status in the Yao family.

But how come this prodigy of the Yao family, a genius who is held in the palm of their hands, was sent to Qiufeng Tower?
The owner of Qiufeng Tower said calmly:
"The Yao family's favor ends here. Now that you have entered Qiufeng Tower, forget your last name and only remember your identity as a member of Qiufeng Tower. Even if I ask you to kill someone from the Yao family in the future, you must be merciless."

"Yes!"

Xie Yuan said in a deep voice.

Yao Tianchuan hesitated for a moment before responding in a low voice:
"Yes."

The owner of Qiufeng Tower glanced at him, snorted, and turned to Xie Yuan and said:
"Zhan Yun has just entered Qiufeng Tower. He is still unfamiliar with swordsmanship and has just broken through the second level of cultivation. The selection will begin soon. You should practice with him."

Xie Yuan immediately understood and breathed a sigh of relief, as his identity was not exposed.

With his careful attention to the role of Youyan and the fact that he had stolen a bit of his luck, it would be difficult for others to notice that Youyan had been replaced by someone else.

But has Yao Tianchuan also reached the second level of Qi and blood transformation?
When I first met him, he was in the late stage of the transformation.

Considering his age and the progress of his cultivation, he can indeed be considered a genius who has the potential to revive the Yao family.

However, there are differences between geniuses.

When Xie Yuan first met Yao Tianchuan, he had just broken through the first level of Qi and blood transformation; now that he has finally broken through the second level, Xie Yuan has already seen the level of the third level of transformation.

On the contrary, the mechanism of Qiufeng Tower is quite fair. Even if Yao Tianchuan enters the tower, he has to fight for that spot on his own, and Xie Yuan is needed to sharpen his sword for him.

But looking at it from another angle, Yao Tianchuan did receive some preferential treatment. He was trained personally by the owner of Qiufeng Tower. Even though Youyan also had the surname Yao, he could only be a training dummy now.

Only the current Youyan is a fake. If she were real, she would probably follow Chun Sanniang wholeheartedly - if Chun Sanniang was real.

Of course, the fake Youyan and the fake Chun Sanniang also have a very close relationship.

Xie Yuan had no way to refuse, so he and Yao Tianchuan stood in the center of the courtyard.

Looking at the gloomy young man in front of him, Xie Yuan suddenly wanted to laugh.

This is the third time that I have used my third identity to duel with him.

It must be a special fate...

Moreover, what was his code name when he entered the building, Zhan Yun?

Really interesting.

Xie Yuan looked at Yao Tianchuan quietly and cupped his hands:

"Youyan, the gold medal assassin of Qiufeng Tower, please teach me, Brother Zhanyun!"

"Zhanyun, please give me some advice, Brother Youyan."

Yao Tianchuan bowed and drew his dagger.

The owner of Qiufeng Tower stepped aside and sat on a stone bench to watch the fight.

There must be a reason why he chose Youyan to sharpen Yao Tianchuan's sword.

Firstly, Yao Tianchuan had just broken through, and his skills in Qiufenglou were not yet mature. But with his talent, he only needed an opponent who was slightly stronger than him to improve quickly. And Youyan was just so-so in the second transformation realm, so he was the most suitable, so he was chosen;
Secondly, Youyan's last name is Yao after all, so there is a trace of blood relationship between them, and he would come to check on the progress occasionally;
Thirdly, before coming here, I heard that Youyan had recently joined Chun Sanniang and seemed very motivated. He also wanted to see the quota of Zhenhu, so I had to come and see what was going on and see if he had forgotten that both he and I had the surname Yao?

What a waste! Let's see how much progress he can make under Chun Sanniang's guidance.

Under the gazes of Yao Tianchuan and Qiufeng Tower Master, Xie Yuan moved his sleeves and a dagger popped out.

The strength of the owner of Qiufeng Tower must be that of a master on the Flying Dragon List, and based on his physical skills and techniques, he is not ranked low on the Flying Dragon List.

Now, under his watchful eye, I'll see if my efforts over the past month will reveal any flaws.

"Zhanyun, be careful."

Xie Yuan shouted, then turned into a shadow and rushed forward.

The owner of Qiufeng Tower snorted coldly:
"Does an assassin need to be warned before killing someone? If you continue to say anything, the building rules will punish you."

He was disdainful of such behavior, staring at Xie Yuan with cold eyes as he rushed forward, slashed out with a sword with incredible swiftness, and then directly knocked the sword that Yao Tianchuan had just raised to the ground.

"..."

There was silence. Yao Tianchuan stared blankly at the sword on the ground, unable to figure out what was happening.

"waste."

The owner of Qiufeng Tower was silent for a moment, then scolded:
"You can't even hold the sword steadily. Others have reminded you, but you are still so slow. What did the Yao family and Cangjian Pavilion teach you? With this, you want to revive the Yao family? And seek revenge on Yunshan Sword Sect? You'd better kill yourself before you lose face!"

Yao Tianchuan trembled all over, gritted his teeth and picked up the sword, and said to Xie Yuan:
"Brother Youyan, please teach me again."

"I've told you, no matter how much nonsense you keep talking, I'll deal with you according to the building regulations. This is the last time."

The owner of Qiufeng Tower said coldly, glancing at Xie Yuan.

Although Yao Tianchuan was not used to holding the short sword and his mentality was also a problem, he had not expected that he could knock Yao Tianchuan's sword down with one sword.

It seems that the special training under Chun Sanniang has some effect... but it doesn't mean much.

Xie Yuan pulled away again, holding swords facing each other with Yao Tianchuan, and then they started at the same time.

Yao Tianchuan was much more cautious this time, knowing that the Autumn Wind and Falling Leaves Sword was a dangerous sword technique that could decide life or death in a split second, and victory or defeat could often be decided in a single encounter, so he didn't dare to be careless anymore.

In fact, he saw that the other party was a direct cousin of his clan, who was much older than him but not much different in terms of cultivation, just a gold medal assassin, so he couldn't help but look down on him;
But after being defeated repeatedly by the swordsmen of Yunshan Sword Sect, Yao Tianchuan has always doubted his own talent. Now he is unable to practice martial arts and wield the sword. Just now when he faced Xie Yuan, his weapon was knocked down before he could even exert strength. If it was a fight of life and death, he really couldn't even hold out for half a move now.

Facing the swiftly approaching Xie Yuan, Yao Tianchuan's years of practice finally paid off. He instinctively raised his sword, with blood and energy pouring into it, and stabbed fiercely at Xie Yuan's throat.

The sword was so fast that its shadow could not be seen, but halfway through, Yao Tianchuan's hand stopped.

He slowly lowered his head, and Xie Yuan's sword had already reached his neck.

The master of Qiufeng Tower had a gleam in his eyes, and commented lightly:
"One second of your sword slowness can mean the difference between life and death in battle. Come again."

This Youyan’s attacks are even faster than Tianchuan’s.

Although the boy's mentality was as soft as a woman's, his instinctive sword skills were still quite good, and Youyan won within one step.

Look again.

Xie Yuan returned to his seat and stared at Yao Tianchuan silently.

He did not choose to hide his sword skills. With his current mastery of the Autumn Wind and Fallen Leaves Sword, he was not yet able to deceive the owner of the Autumn Wind Tower.

However, even though his swordsmanship has made great progress compared to the previous Youyan, it can all be attributed to the teachings of Chun Sanniang.

If you hide it, it might cause trouble.

Anyway, as the owner of Qiufeng Tower said, a sparring match should be fought to the death like a real fight, so don't blame yourself for bullying your nephew.

Yao Tianchuan looked at Xie Yuan's calm eyes and suddenly felt a great deal of pressure, swallowing secretly.

The clan uncle's swordsmanship did not seem to be very advanced, but his every move was so fast that he could not react. If it was a real assassination, this middle-aged man, whose skills were not much higher than his, would have killed him twice.

In the past, he never looked down upon this mediocre swordsman who was older than himself and not much stronger than himself, and he never even thought that he would lose.

But when facing this man today, Yao Tianchuan felt as if he was back on the cliff of Yunshan Mountain and on the arena under Wangjiang Tower. Facing those two swordsmen who made his heart waver, he felt that he was difficult to defeat.

This feeling is just like being one person.

Yao Tianchuan shook his head vigorously. Of course, this couldn't be a person. His sword heart wavered again. He had been like this often since he came down from Yunshan.

But, is it going to be like this forever?

You've always had trouble holding the sword, and seeing a powerful swordsman is like seeing a familiar shadow?

How can he revive the Yao family and find the evil woman to avenge his parents?

You clearly have the best resources and the guidance of a master, so how can you be depressed when you encounter setbacks and be inferior to your distant relatives in the branch?

If we keep on like this, how can we defeat all the swordsmen of Yunshan Sword Sect?
Yao Tianchuan tightened his grip, gritted his teeth, looked at Xie Yuan with wide eyes, shouted, and this time rushed forward first.

The owner of Qiufeng Tower nodded slightly:

"Finally, there is some sense of shame and courage. This time, I can..."

"clang!"

The two swords collided with each other, and there was a crisp sound. Yao Tianchuan's sword was chopped off again, causing the owner of Qiufeng Tower to fall silent again before he could finish his thoughts.

Xie Yuan looked down at Yao Tianchuan quietly. His indifferent eyes made him tremble. He subconsciously looked away and gritted his teeth and said:

"Come again!"

"clang!"

"Come again!"

"Ding--"

“Come on, come on!”

"..."

"enough."

Seeing that Yao Tianchuan did not learn from his mistakes and then become braver, but was already on the verge of collapse and could only shout and rush forward to fight, the owner of Qiufeng Tower stopped the two of them.

He was silent for a moment, then said coldly:
"Youyan's progress is greater than I thought, and she is now qualified to take the human-level assessment. You...suppress your cultivation a little, or Zhanyun will not be your opponent."

Didn’t you just say that we should do our best to avoid any ineffectiveness?

Xie Yuan complained in his heart, and said what was the difference between the assassination organization, in the end he still had to accompany the prince to study.

Those with connections have the most power. This rule is the same everywhere in the world.

So Xie Yuan controlled the output of blood and energy a little more on the original basis.

Even the owner of Qiufeng Tower didn't realize that Xie Yuan was fighting by suppressing his cultivation level.

Otherwise, if the blood energy of the late second transformation realm was unleashed, it would not be as simple as knocking Yao Tianchuan's sword away with one sword.

The pressure Yao Tianchuan put on him was too small, just like a raindrop hitting a stone or a mountain, splashing just the same insignificant splash of water, so even the owner of Qiufeng Tower did not see that there was an iceberg beneath the water.

If Yao Tianchuan had been more useful, Xie Yuan would definitely not be able to hide his cultivation level in front of the owner of Qiufeng Tower, and he could only shout "Miss Mu, save me."

When Yao Tianchuan heard the emotionless evaluation from the owner of Qiufeng Tower, his mind became clearer and his handsome face turned red with embarrassment.

But he also understood that this was the truth. If this distant uncle did not suppress his cultivation, he would only be able to practice picking up swords even if he spent the whole day chopping.

Next, Xie Yuan continued to restrain his blood and energy as he was told. This was actually safer. Because even if the owner of Qiufeng Tower saw that he seemed to be hiding his strength, he would not care and would just think that he was just following his instructions.

In the next match, Xie Yuan and Yao Tianchuan fought again, and the outcome was not decided by just one strike.

Even if Xie Yuan suppressed his blood and energy, even if he suppressed it to the same level as Yao Tianchuan who had just broken through the second transformation realm, he could still win with one blow relying on his Autumn Wind Falling Leaves Sword realm and his attainments in the entire sword art, but a normal person should understand his own attributes as a tool man at this time.

So Xie Yuan started to feed Yao Tianchuan with moves one after another, and the fight became very interesting. Yao Tianchuan finally had the chance to get familiar with this dangerous short sword technique.

"An inch shorter, an inch more dangerous, don't think you are still holding a long sword!"

"This is not an ordinary martial art. If you hold back, you will kill yourself. The more you hold back, the faster you will die."

"Idiot, I'm not telling you to make a move and never be able to turn back! Eight out and two back is the basic. When your skills improve, you can make nine out and one back. No one in the same realm can beat you!"

"… Treat Youyan as your assassination target, as your enemy, and kill her!"

"That's all you're capable of? You're not even worthy enough to see the witch! She can crush you to death with just one finger!"

"Have you forgotten how your parents died? Revenge? What are you going to do? With your graceful dance moves like an embroidery needle?"

The owner of Qiufeng Tower kept yelling and scolding, which made Yao Tianchuan's eyebrows frown, but his hands became more and more fluent.

Yao Tianchuan is worthy of being the genius that the Yao family has high hopes for and the disciple carefully trained by Cangjian Pavilion. After the owner of Qiufeng Tower found the right switch, every move and every style of his has been improving, and the speed is so fast that even Xie Yuan looks at him differently.

However, when the owner of Qiufeng Tower saw that such provocation was effective, he became more and more aggressive in his cold words, but all the consequences were borne by Xie Yuan.

Xie Yuan endured it silently, serving as a human sandbag, and did not dare to be careless at all under the watchful eyes of the owner of Qiufeng Tower.

But in this situation, he did not gain nothing.

The gains that could be obtained from Yao Tianchuan were very small, but the master of Qiufeng Tower was obviously very attentive in teaching Yao Tianchuan the moves, without hiding anything. Xie Yuan pricked up his ears, listened to it all, and nodded secretly.

The Autumn Wind and Fallen Leaves Sword has reached perfection in the hands of the owner of the Qiufeng Tower. Every comment is just right and hits the nail on the head. Yao Tianchuan is suddenly enlightened after hearing it, and Xie Yuan is even better than him in terms of talent and swordsmanship. His gains are even greater than his. I'm afraid that the owner of the Qiufeng Tower did not expect that he did not come here to train Youyan.

However, as the fight went on, the Autumn Wind Tower Master keenly noticed this. Although Yao Tianchuan's swordsmanship gradually became smoother, Xie Yuan's already well-honed Autumn Wind Falling Leaf Sword had improved even further, and Yao Tianchuan's sword was about to be knocked away again.

Just as he was thinking this, with a bang, a short sword flew directly to the beam. Xie Yuan put away the short sword, bowed, and stood aside silently.

The owner of Qiufeng Tower was silent for a moment. He had no time to be happy about his own sharp vision. His gaze swept across Xie Yuan like a flash of cold lightning, making Xie Yuan tense all over, as if he had been pierced directly through.

The owner of Qiufeng Tower looked at him for a while, then retracted his gaze and said calmly:
“Good teaching.”

Mu Chaoyun, who had arrived here at some point, walked out from the side and said with a smile:

"Thank you for your praise, I think he has great potential."

The owner of Qiufeng Tower looked at her, then looked at Xie Yuan, and nodded slightly.

I didn't realize before that Youyan actually has some talent and has made such great progress in such a short period of time.

But the more this happened, the more he seemed to have no vision...

The owner of Qiufeng Tower would not go to such lengths to make things difficult for others because of this, but he would not be in a good mood either, not to mention that he had never been in a good mood towards anyone.

"Zhanyun, what's the harvest?"

He said lightly.

Yao Tianchuan bowed silently:

"Nephew...I am grateful for your advice."

"Remember how you feel today. I want you to defeat him in a few days."

The owner of Qiufeng Tower pointed at Xie Yuan, then turned and left.

Yao Tianchuan bowed to Mu Chaoyun and Xie Yuan, then quickly left with the owner of Qiufeng Tower.

It was not until half a day after the two men left that Xie Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and found that his back was wet. He didn't know whether it was due to the repeated battles with Yao Tianchuan or because of the owner of Qiufeng Tower.

But since he left, it was obvious that he did not see through Xie Yuan's true identity.

If he had any doubt, he would be taken down on the spot.

Xie Yuan's role as Youyan can be said to be flawless.

Mu Chaoyun's leisurely voice came:

"You have made great progress to be appreciated by the host."

Xie Yuan smiled bitterly:
"I don't think it's appreciation."

"You and him are sworn enemies anyway, so it's normal for him to be unhappy with you. People like this have extremely sharp intuition, so don't let your guard down. Well, maybe it's because of you that he's unhappy to see you, and I'm afraid he doesn't even know the reason, and he just thinks you've joined my team."

Mu Chaoyun said half-jokingly.

Xie Yuan felt that it was possible, but the greater reason was the latter. Even the most indifferent and resolute person would have some thoughts when seeing his people getting close to other masters in the organization. But it didn't matter. After a few days, he would get the qualifications, take the things and leave, and no longer have to deal with this killing god.

A few days later, it was New Year's Eve.

Thousands of houses in Jinling are lit up for family reunion.

However, in a stretch of mansions outside Jinling Prefecture, it was quiet at this time, with dim lights. Except for the two lanterns at the door, the whole house was silent, like a haunted house.

However, in the courtyard of the house, a group of men in black were standing in neat rows.

There were so many people but no sound. If you closed your eyes, you could hardly feel their presence. It was silent and very creepy.

In front of the man in black stood two people.

One is a charming woman with her face covered, and the other is a handsome young man waving a folding fan.

The former is naturally Mu Chaoyun, or the deputy owner of Qiufeng Tower and the master assassin Chun Sanniang. The other person is called Gongzi Yu, who is another deputy owner and is actually the master of the Qian family of Yongyang.

Two of the three master assassins from Qiufeng Tower came for this selection. The top five people can enter Jianzhen Lake to practice.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Gongzi Yu glanced at Chun Sanniang and was about to announce the start of the meeting, when suddenly his expression changed and he looked to the side.

A middle-aged man with a blurred face appeared silently and stood between the two masters.

Gongzi Yu immediately put away his folding fan and bowed respectfully:
"I met the landlord."

Mu Chaoyun also bowed slightly, and a soft and charming voice sounded:
"I met the landlord."

The group of black-clad assassins below bowed in unison, saluting the king of the night.

"Owner, why are you here too?"

After Gongzi Yu paid his respects, he was slightly surprised.

The owner of Qiufeng Tower is very busy, and he is like a dragon that is hard to find. Originally, it was said that he and Chun Sanniang would be the judges.

The owner of Qiufeng Tower said calmly:
“Look at what their level is now.”

Gongzi Yu nodded, asked for instructions, stepped forward, and said to the men in black:

"You all know the reason for coming here, so there is no need to explain. In this mansion, I have hidden five tokens. Anyone who obtains one of them can walk out of the gate safely and enter the True Lake.

"As usual, there are only enemies in the house, no colleagues. Everyone, let's get started!"

Gongzi Yu smiled slightly, with a hint of cruelty.

He waved his folding fan, and the only two remaining lanterns in the courtyard were completely extinguished, leaving only moonlight in the house.

A few ding-ding sounds were heard, the lanterns went out, and several pairs of people started fighting directly.

All trials and selections in Qiufeng Tower are real fights of life and death, extremely cruel, just like raising a Gu.

The killers trained in this way naturally have top-notch combat capabilities.

If a sect or other force were to select talents in this way, they would probably have to worry about selecting those who are not the most suitable for cultivation, but the ones who are most adept at using dirty tricks;
But the killer organization does not have this concern. Qiufeng Tower does not want the most talented person in cultivation, but only the one who is best at killing. This method is perfectly suitable.

As for the loss of the talents that were cultivated with great difficulty...this wave consists of gold medal assassins and below. For Qiufeng Tower, they are not worth cherishing.

With the constant supply of abducted people from the Qian and Yao families, Qiufeng Tower has never been short of supplies and can always produce cold-blooded assassins who dominate the same area.

Several pairs of people started fighting each other. They all had grudges against each other, such as enemies in previous selections.

But starting a fight to the death is obviously not a smart choice.

Some people were fighting when they suddenly became stiff and were stabbed with a sword from behind; some people wanted to reduce the number of competitors, but were feared because of their strong strength and were besieged and killed by several people.

The scene instantly became chaotic. Xie Yuan moved, bypassed the two daggers that were stabbing at him silently, and went straight into the inner house.

The owners of the two daggers were a little surprised. They didn't expect Youyan to be so agile, which was very different from his usual performance.

They looked at each other, and the two who had just fought in tacit coordination sized each other up, ready to swing their swords at their opponents if they disagreed; but after evaluation, the two cautiously moved their distance and headed towards the inner house from different directions, just like most people.

Gong Ziyu waved his folding fan and smiled:

"I wonder who will get this opportunity?"

The owner of Qiufeng Tower folded his arms, lowered his eyes, and said nothing.

Mu Chaoyun smiled and said:
"My Youyan will be able to obtain a token."

Gong Ziyu glanced at her charming appearance and said with a mischievous smile:

"I didn't expect that Youyan had such extraordinary qualities that he won Sanniang's favor and rose to prominence overnight."

Mu Chaoyun spat:
"His strengths are naturally much greater than yours."

Gongzi Yu smiled and said:
"Sanniang hasn't tried me yet, how do you know I'm not a good person?"

Mu Chaoyun smiled softly and then said slowly:
"It's a pity. I don't like old men, especially old men who fan themselves in the middle of winter."

Gong Ziyu's smile froze, he closed his folding fan, and bared his teeth:

"I also feel it's a pity. Youyan will definitely not be able to get the token."

"how you said that?"

Mu Chaoyun said lightly.

Gongzi Yu smiled and said:
"Because I also have a subordinate who I like. I asked him to take all five tokens."

"Unless you know the answer in advance, it's impossible."

Mu Chaoyun shook his head.

Gongzi Yu smiled and said:
“I wouldn’t do that, because based on her strength, only one person can walk out of here today.

"I told her that as long as she killed all the others, she could slowly search for the missing person. Once she collected all five tokens, I would reward her."

After hearing this, Qiufeng Tower Master finally opened his eyes and looked at Gongzi Yu:
"Zhan Yundang will be able to obtain a token."

Gong Ziyu stood up straight, bowed respectfully, and replied with a smile:

"I'm afraid not, sir."

A faint light flashed in Qiufeng Tower Master's eyes:
"He can't get out either?"

"I'm afraid so, sir."

With a swish, Gongzi Yu waved his folding fan, with a respectful smile on his face, but his eyes met the cold Qiufeng Tower Master's gaze without yielding:

“Master, according to the rules when we first established Qiufeng Tower, once you enter this tower, everyone is equal, regardless of where they come from.

"Since you are from Qiufeng Tower, your life or death will depend on your ability."

Qiufeng Tower Master stared at Gongzi Yu for a while, looked at his respectful smile, retracted his gaze, and said calmly:

"As it should be."

Mu Chaoyun stood aside and watched the fun, with thoughts turning in his mind:
"It seems that the Qian family is targeting Yao Tianchuan, and they want to take the opportunity to kill this seed of Yao family's revival. They don't want to have another Qiufeng Tower Master. I don't know where this expert is from. He speaks so mysteriously. I wonder if Xie Yuan can defeat him?"

She felt that with Xie Yuan's strength, there should be no opponent here, but she couldn't help but worry, and she completely lost her usual rational and calm judgment.

Xie Yuan moved through the inner house, and even though he couldn't use his full strength, his movements were not slow.

"What will the token look like? Where is it hidden?"

This kind of thing will not be announced in advance, and what is tested is the killer's ability to collect information and judge the situation. It is often not that difficult, as long as you find the secret room or hidden place, you can always find the token.

However, it is not easy to get the item safely and bring it out from a group of fellow killers with similar skills.

The best way is to kill them all and then slowly look for...

Obviously, not only Gongzi Yu thought so, Xie Yuan also thought so; and not only Xie Yuan thought so, others also thought so.

A faint shadow suddenly appeared from behind the pillar and silently thrust a dagger towards Xie Yuan's back.

Just as the dagger was about to pierce Xie Yuan's back, Xie Yuan swung his sword in his backhand, just blocking the tip of the dagger. Then he suddenly raised his back foot and kicked the attacker's chin like a scorpion's tail, directly breaking his jaw.

The attacker's eyes turned white and he flew backwards, hitting the wall with a cracking sound. While he was still dizzy, Xie Yuan, who had caught up with him, stabbed him in the heart with a sword, ending his life.

If it weren't for the need to conceal his blood, this kick could actually kill his opponent directly. His realm in the late second transformation stage was enough to crush these killers, most of whom were in the early or middle stage stages.

Xie Yuan stabbed and pulled out his sword, then swung it to the side. The movement looked a bit strange, but it just happened to hit the throat of a person who crawled out of the flower bed.

The man's eyes were wide open and his throat made hoarse sounds. He had no idea how he was discovered after lurking there for such a long time.

Xie Yuan put away his dagger and continued walking forward.

He opened a room at random, turned slightly sideways, dodged the dark dagger, then raised his hand slightly, looked at the sneak attacking enemy with his eyes wide open in fear, and couldn't stop the momentum and bumped into him himself.

Gently pushing the still twitching enemy off the dagger, Xie Yuan entered the room and walked around inside. When he went out, he suddenly raised the dagger and pierced another killer who pounced on him.

With his dual internal strength of the third and second transformation realms, and his keen awareness of the environment through the Heavenly Concealment Technique and the Heavenly Illusion Technique, he could hear any movement around him.

But with his keen perception, others could not tell why. Xie Yuan did not kill all the assassins hiding around him immediately, but waited for them to make the first move, which was already a sign of his incompetence.

Xie Yuan's pace was almost constant, and almost no one could stop him, allowing him to continue searching inside.

Seeing Xie Yuan's performance, Qiufeng Tower Master and Gongzi Yu, who had already jumped into the sky, both stared with surprise.

Although the owner of Qiufeng Tower knew that Xie Yuan's strength had improved, he did not expect that his performance in actual combat would be even more amazing. He could not help but glance at Chun Sanniang, secretly pondering her vision and training methods.

Gongzi Yu pursed his lips, his eyes fixed firmly on Xie Yuan, narrowed slightly.

Mu Chaoyun's gentle laughter sounded beside him:
"Haha~ Gongzi Yu, now there are two people who can walk out of this mansion, right?"

Gong Ziyu really didn't expect Xie Yuan to be so powerful, but apart from being surprised, he had no other emotions. He just smiled and said:

"Sanniang, don't be happy too soon..."

He had just finished speaking when there was a loud bang from below, and a figure flew out of a room like a rag doll, along with the door.

A majestic figure stepped out from the smoke and dust. Her whole body was full of muscles and she had a terrifying aura. She looked like a female demon or a female King Kong. Only her face was pretty, which looked very inconsistent with her huge body.

Qiufeng Tower Master took a look and narrowed his eyes:
"Are you willing to use this medicine?"

"They are all external things. It's not easy to find a suitable one. Why would I be reluctant to give it up? As long as I can cultivate talents for the building, I will not care about the cost."

Gongzi Yu waved his folding fan more and more happily, with a smile on his face.

Qiu Feng Tower Master frowned slightly as he looked at the giantess who was no longer hiding her late Second Transformation Realm state, her body completely different from before.

"How long can she last like this?"

The owner of Qiufeng Tower said lightly.

Gongzi Yu smiled:
"If she can make it, I'll make sure she soars to the sky. If she can't make it... everyone has their own destiny."

Mu Chaoyun also frowned secretly. The realm of this female giant had completely crushed the people around her. After all, Xie Yuan also had such a realm. Although he did not dare to use it all, he was not unable to protect himself.

But the Qian family's secret medicine not only improved her realm, but also enhanced her physical strength. With the strength on top of the strength, the strength of this female killer was probably very close to the third level of Qi and Blood Transformation. Not to mention that Xie Yuan suppressed his realm and dared not move without permission, even if he used all his strength, he might not be able to win.

The female killer glanced around and found several hidden killers around her, so she squatted slightly and then suddenly disappeared from the spot.

One of the killers was startled and was about to retreat, but suddenly his head exploded into a ball of bloody mud.

The killers in the other two directions were terrified and fled in two directions at the same time. However, they were caught up and killed in a moment without any chance to fight back.

The body of a killer was thrown to the ground, making a big hole. The female killer clenched her fists, screamed with a mixture of joy and pain, then spread her long legs and began to rush into the inner courtyard.

This mansion was large, but it was not spacious enough for a group of warriors at the Qi and Blood Transformation stage. Everyone was on guard against others, and even Xie Yuan walked slowly to avoid being exposed. However, this female killer did not play by the rules, and rushed back and forth in the inner courtyard, invincible, and killed most of the killers participating in the competition in an instant. A good melee suddenly turned into an escape.

Xie Yuan also saw this unusual female killer. The current situation was not suitable for a head-on confrontation with her, so he could only rely on his body movements to avoid her, looking a little embarrassed for a moment.

He heard the noise coming from the other side, so he dodged to a corner and hid himself.

With a glance, Xie Yuan saw Yao Tianchuan hiding behind the rockery, raised his eyebrows, and felt that he was in trouble.

Sure enough, the female assassin, who looked like a martial god, rushed over, swept around, and strode towards the rockery. At this location, once discovered, there was no way around the pillars.

Listening to the heavy footsteps getting closer and closer, Yao Tianchuan gritted his teeth and couldn't help but step out from behind the rockery and hand over the dagger.

With a clang, a short sword in front of him hit Yao Tianchuan's sword with terrifying force, almost making him lose control of it.

Fortunately, he had lost the sword countless times in the past few days and had some experience with this. He managed to hold it tightly and did not let it drop. Then he dodged the female killer's dagger.

With a loud bang, the rockery next to him was hit by the dagger and exploded directly, and the debris splashed towards Xie Yuan, making him secretly shocked. His casual attack did not have such power. The female killer was already like a human-shaped monster.

I'm afraid it's going to be difficult for Yao Tianchuan.

On the other side, Yao Tianchuan barely dodged the female killer's sweeping attack and was about to fight back, but found that his opponent had already handed him the sword, so he had to retreat again.

He retreated several steps and saw that there was a courtyard wall behind him. There was no point in retreating any further. He shouted loudly, gritted his teeth, swung his sword, and slashed towards the female killer with an unstoppable force.

The female killer's expression couldn't be seen clearly, but she just swung her hand violently, knocking Yao Tianchuan's sword far away, and it spun and fell far away.

Yao Tianchuan staggered, and seeing his opponent's dagger slashing again, he could only roll on the ground and doggy-paddling to retrieve the dagger and fight again.

Unfortunately, his movements were much slower than those of the female killer. Before he could reach his own dagger, the enemy's dagger had already reached his back.

Yao Tianchuan felt the strong wind from behind and sighed in his heart, "My life is over."

In an instant, the past of his short life flashed through his mind. The happiness of his parents being alive and well in his childhood, the panic of the people during the great changes, the tragic death of his parents in front of him in the chaos, and then the constant practice of swordsmanship, but ended up with two consecutive setbacks, until now...

His expression was vague, and his hand had already touched the hilt of the sword, but it was too late. At the last moment, he just sighed:
"I wonder who that person on Yunshan is?"

Yao Tianchuan thought for a long time in a trance, but he didn't feel the pain in the back of his heart. When he was surprised, he heard two ding-ding sounds.

He turned his head instantly, only to find Youyan was fighting fiercely with the female killer, but it seemed that she was about to be defeated.

"Join forces."

Xie Yuan said succinctly.

Yao Tianchuan was stunned for a moment, then he reacted immediately, stood up with his sword in hand, and fought the female giant side by side with Xie Yuan.

With Yao Tianchuan's help, Xie Yuan's pressure was reduced a lot. The enemy in front of him was at a high level, with even greater strength, and his moves were extremely swift.

Although Xie Yuan really has his own means to deal with her, his means are not convenient to use; if it is just You Yan, it would be a bit conspicuous if she wants to win.

So after thinking about it, he decided to save Yao Tianchuan. The two of them joined forces, dealt with the enemy for a while, and worked together, so killing the enemy would not seem abrupt.

The female killer was not afraid of the two men, and she had the upper hand. However, in terms of swordsmanship, she was not as good as the two men, she was just at a higher level.

Under Xie Yuan's leadership, the two men avoided the real attack and attacked the fake one. Each of them held a sword, purely demonstrating the power of swordsmanship, making the female killer, who was only strong in name only, dizzy - under the influence of the drug, she herself did not seem to be sober.

Xie Yuan endured for a long time and did not kill. Finally, he saw an opportunity and felt that Youyan could also seize it. He rushed forward and almost crashed into the giantess' arms. He bravely thrust out the dagger and stabbed it straight into her heart.

The giantess's body suddenly stiffened, and she hugged her arms violently, but found nothing.

Xie Yuan had predicted this in advance, so he dropped his sword and retreated.

The female killer trembled for a while, turned around twice, and then slowly sat down on the ground, staring at Xie Yuan with a dim gaze, seeming to show some clarity.

"Thanks."

The female killer felt a little regretful and a little relieved. She whispered two words and then slowly lowered her head.

A ball of dirty blood suddenly burst out from her chest, and then black blood gushed out like a fountain. Her whole body quickly shrank like a punctured balloon, revealing her original petite body.

Xie Yuan closed his mouth, walked forward slowly, pulled out his dagger, wiped it on a clean spot on the woman's body, and wiped away the dirty blood.

Yao Tianchuan stared at Xie Yuan blankly from behind, holding the sword tightly in his hand, not knowing how to react for a moment.

In the sky, the three masters remained silent, apparently not expecting this result.

Gongzi Yu frowned and stared at Xie Yuan intently, his eyes deep and gloomy.

Xie Yuan just glanced at Yao Tianchuan on the ground, then slowly backed away, ready to go find the token himself.

Once the female killer died, there was nothing that could stop him.

As for killing Yao Tianchuan... he had not forgotten that the owner of Qiufeng Tower was watching from the sky.

As Xie Yuan was turning around, he suddenly heard a voice humming:

"Stop! You are not Youyan!"

A strong wind blew and in the blink of an eye it was above my head!
　Thanks to Xie Peng12138 for the reward!
　　Thanks for the reward from Changqianqiyu!
　　Why do people always worry that I will be abandoned... This book will not be abandoned. Who can update 10,000 pages every day?

　　Looking back, it’s been almost two months since I made 4 a day. As a player who once had difficulty making K a day, I didn’t expect this.

　　I may ask for leave later, because I am a part-time author, and sometimes I am too busy and tired, please bear with me. Why is there no title for Chapter 240? Because I didn't have enough time. I really finished writing it at 23:59 and posted it immediately, for fear of exceeding the time limit.

　　In fact, although this book does not seem to be popular, its performance is not bad either. It is expected to be a masterpiece this month, which is very satisfying for me as I have never seen a masterpiece before.

　　So please rest assured, this book will have a good ending and will be worthy of everyone's support. I will keep working hard!
