While the two were exchanging barbs, another powerful figure of unknown origin suddenly rushed toward the gate of the ancestral hall, clearly intending to strike first!
"How dare you!"
Evans roared and transformed, charging towards the enemy.
Although he knew that he was no match for him in his old age, he was determined to fulfill his duty even if it meant self-destruction!
"ignorance."
The only thing visible in the powerful man's eyes was a faint killing intent. In his eyes, this aged third-tier expert was no different from the best of the second tier.
It's something that can be killed with a single blow.
He brought his right hand together, making a chop gesture, and blue-white energy gathered on the surface of the chop.
The highly compressed lightning element exudes a chilling pressure.
"This guy can actually compress lightning elements to this extent!"
Both Dick and the third-tier extreme expert from the Mercenary Guild felt a chill run down their spines and became secretly on guard.
If this guy were to ambush them, even someone as strong as them could be killed on the spot if they weren't careful!
Which faction does he belong to?
Even two powerful third-tier experts felt a chill run down their spines at this move, and Evans, whose strength was far inferior, had a bitter expression on his face.
He originally thought that even if there was a difference in strength, he could at least hold out for a while. However, he did not expect that even the most inconspicuous infiltrator could easily kill him!
Could today be the beginning of the decline of our Keith family?
In his despair, a glint of madness flashed in the old man's eyes.
Although his body has gradually aged under the corrosive influence of time, his once hard, iron-like muscles are now somewhat soft and sagging.
But over the years, his will and spirit have become completely different from what they were when he was younger!
I will not allow him to set foot in the ancestral hall. Even if it means death, I will keep him outside!
Roar!
An ancient dragon roar resounded, and Evans fearlessly charged towards the lightning-type expert's hand blade!
Dick sighed slightly. He and Evans had known each other for a while, but now that they were on opposing sides, he could only watch him die.
The third-tier peak expert from the Mercenary Guild, however, remained indifferent. If Walker were still alive, the Keith family would still have some value, but now...
Just when everyone thought Evans' life was about to end, a yellow figure appeared in front of him and the lightning hand blade.
The young man who suddenly appeared easily caught the move that Evans had risked his life to block by simply extending a finger wrapped in pale yellow flames.
Noisy!
Boom!
When the flames and lightning came into contact, they created an explosion that was a mix of yellow and blue!
Even the covert blockade set up by Dick was deformed under this force.
From a high vantage point, the semi-circular black curtain suddenly expanded into a sphere, about to burst under the strain, before finally collapsing, thus absorbing the energy of the explosion.
If it weren't for the cover-up, the explosion would have undoubtedly attracted the attention of everyone at the funeral.
"You three, how can you bully an old man like this? Don't you have any shame?"
Yang Xi's lazy voice rang out, and the fingers that had just fought the lightning hand chop were now being used to pick his ears.
For someone at the fourth level like him, this only caused his fingers to feel a little numb.
It didn't hurt at all; in fact, it felt quite pleasurable, like a massage.
Under the control of the profound mysteries, the energy of the explosion was suppressed and subdued.
"Young Master Dudulan!!"
Evans was stunned. The person who had just saved him was actually the young Master Duran!
"Evans, you are an elder of our Keith family, you can't just die here so easily!"
Before Yang Xi could finish speaking, Evans transformed back into human form and rushed over to check on Yang Xi's condition.
They breathed a sigh of relief after finding that he was completely unharmed.
"Young Master Duran, how could you be so reckless!" Even when facing an opponent he couldn't defeat, Evans had never lost his composure like this. "You are the hope of our Keith family, how could you try to take a third-tier limit attack head-on!"
Just as Evans was stamping his feet in frustration, the three intruders frowned in unison. They couldn't see through Duran at all!
399. The secret vault is open for you to take!
what happened!
Even if Durant is incredibly talented, he shouldn't have grown to this level in such a short time!
Is the Keith family's "Super Azure-Eyed Flame Dragon" really that powerful?
Dick and the third-tier ultimate expert from the Mercenary Guild exchanged a glance. Clearly, neither of them had gathered this information.
The mysterious expert who directly fought Yang Xi secretly hid his right hand in his sleeve. In the previous exchange, the pale yellow flames had burned the meridians in his hand.
My right hand is still constantly spasming, and I can hardly even make a simple fist.
Unable to get through to Evans's persistent nagging, Yang Xi had no choice but to use the same excuse he had used on Shirley on him.
Fortunately, with the facts before him, Evans quickly accepted Yang Xi's explanation, and tears welled up in his eyes, which were full of wrinkles.
"May our ancestors protect us!"
If young master Duran has already reached the limit of the third tier at this age, then his chances of breaking through to the fourth tier are several times higher than Walker's!
Could it be that the Keith family is about to usher in a new dawn?
"Alright, Evans, leave things here to me. Our Keith family is in a very awkward situation right now. At this critical moment, we need to use our wits to outmaneuver each other. You go and make sure the aggregate of the life crystal is safe."
Yang Xi temporarily changed his mind. He decided to first see what these three people were looking for, something that even a fourth-level expert would be tempted to snatch.
As for the Inheritance Stone and the essence of the strong, as long as he can maintain Duran's persona and not collapse, he can take them whenever he wants.
"Gentlemen, I have heard your purpose just now," Yang Xi said to the three intruders. "I think we should not be so tense between us."
"Although I don't know what deadly thing my father is hiding, in my opinion, nothing is more important than the family."
"If you can guarantee that you won't harm any members of the Keith family, I will personally open the secret vault and let you search it, how about that?"
Yang Xi's words made the three of them's eyes light up.
Just now they were worried that Duran, who had become a third-tier limit expert at such a young age, must be an arrogant guy who wanted to force his way into the Keith family's secret vault to search for that item, and that they would inevitably have to fight him.
But unexpectedly, this playboy, who was once known as a spoiled brat in Bright City, actually became so sensible.
No, it shouldn't be described as "being sensible".
He's very rational!
To be honest, that thing is just too sensitive!
Rather than hindering them, it's better to give way.
This, ironically, gave the Keith family a valuable breathing space.
But who could have imagined that Yang Xi's purpose was simply to get them to find the item so he could keep it for himself?
Anyone can be a tool, as long as the idea is right!
"Hehehe, you're quite good, Duran. I underestimated you."
Dick chuckled; one of the obstacles to completing the mission had disappeared, naturally putting him in a great mood.
Yang Xi shook his head and pointed to the other two, saying, "Mr. Dick, don't be too happy yet. From your conversation, I can tell that there is only one such thing."
"And there are three of you!"
"Oh right, if General Chifeng from outside also comes in, there will be four people vying for this item. Tsk tsk tsk, just thinking about it is exciting."
Dick's face stiffened; what Yang Xi said was true.
The three intruders stared at each other, exchanging bewildered glances. When Evans had blocked their way, they were able to form a united front, determined to break into the Keith family's secret vault first.
But now that Durant has opened the door wide for them to take it, the key question is who gets it.
Judging from the way the three of them are so unwilling to give in, they're probably going to have a fight to see whose fist is harder.
“Young Master Duran, are we just going to open the secret vault like this and let these outsiders in?” Evans leaned closer. “There’s a fortune the family has accumulated over many years inside!”
Yang Xi waved his hand, "Evans, you underestimate these three guests. The wealth accumulated by our Keith family is probably not even worth their attention."
"The three of you, I think it would be better if we found the item first, and then you could decide who owns it."
Yang Xi was afraid that they would start fighting, which would delay his time to get the items.
"Otherwise, if we search for a long time and don't find the item, wouldn't that be a huge waste?"
Dick and his two companions exchanged glances and realized that everything the young master of the Keith family said made sense.
But I always felt that he was gradually taking control of the whole thing.
"As you say."
The three of them said in unison.
“Very well then, the three of you, no, the four of you, please follow me!”
The more tools the better. Under Yang Xi's secret guidance, even General Chifeng, who had been like a headless fly, came over.
He was visibly taken aback when he saw Dick, who made no attempt to hide his true feelings, but he quickly masked it.
"Another fool has arrived!"
Because General Chifeng was well disguised, Yang Xi had to use his supercomputer to compare him for a long time. Under such tense circumstances, it would be difficult for Dick to recognize him with just one glance.
Yang Xi opened the door to the secret vault and led the four people in single file.
Although they had seemed indifferent to the wealth accumulated by the Keith family when Yang Xi spoke, their breathing became heavier when they actually saw the mountains of magic crystals and the dazzling array of alchemical equipment.
Yang Xi chuckled inwardly, while Evans remained wary and guarded against them.
"The four of you agreed that you would only be looking for things."
"That's exactly right!"
