At the moment when everyone was shocked, the leader reacted the fastest. His eyes were fixed on the sharp sword, and he could not help but feel a sense of fear. In order to eliminate the fear in his heart, he purposefully raised his voice and shouted at Xiao Feng, "Who's there?" We have no intention to barge into this place because of our official business. If we have offended you in any way, I hope that you will forgive us! "

"Ayaya, I'll forgive you that much, but you have quite the nerve to threaten an unarmed scholar with your killing intent." Following that, an unpleasant sound echoed from the cliff in the middle of the air, circling around the crowd.

"We are only following orders. I hope that you do not interfere in this matter." The leader glanced at his surroundings in search of the person hiding in the dark, then cupped his fist and bowed to show his respect in the martial arts world.

"Follow orders? On whose orders? Do such a thing? This is too much. I think that the person giving out the order has quite the face. "I don't think so. If I join that scholar's side and the nine of you join him, you would have the upper hand against the two of us. You wouldn't be ridiculed by those martial artists for being too shameless. What do you think?" However, the person in the lead didn't know that the person in the shadows didn't take him seriously at all.

"Are you joking with me? I know who we are. If you insist on wading in this muddy water, aren't you afraid that you'll regret it? " Seeing that the person who came did not know how to appreciate kindness, the leader did not waste any more words and his tone became forceful.

"Aiyaya, I thought you were joking around. Do you know who is in this place? Didn't your master teach you that a big dog still needs to see its master's reasoning? " However, the person who came did not seem to care and instead mocked the person leading the group.

"Hmph. Since you do not know how to appreciate favors, there is no need to speak any further. Appear before us."

Just as the leader of the group finished speaking, a white figure flashed on top of the cliff. Before the crowd could react, the man in white appeared in front of them. Everyone looked at the person and saw that he had a creamy face and two willow leaves on his lips. However, the smile on his lips clearly revealed his playful nature.

"In that case, your esteemed self wishes to use nine against two?" Anyway, since this is my family's territory, this lowly one will act as the host. As long as you can win the fight between me and this scholar, we will let you handle it as you wish, "the man in white said to the pursuing troops. He walked up to Yan Dan and deliberately asked him," This scholar, what do you think? "

"This ?" Obviously, Yan Dan knew that he had suffered a great loss, so he stammered a little unconfidently. However, at this critical moment, he could only resign himself to fate, and could only helplessly say, "I will listen to the words of a brave warrior."

"Hmph, what arrogant words you have there." The person leading the group seemed to be someone who had roamed the martial arts world for many years and was presumably not someone to be trifled with. Thus, he didn't waste any more time talking with the man in white, and commanded the crowd, "Quickly take down those two!"

As soon as his voice fell, the rest of the people quickly formed into two sides with layers upon layers of linked killing intent. It seemed that they were no ordinary pursuers. Even though that sharp sword had broken the swords in their hands, at this moment, several shining daggers flashed out from the sleeves of their robes. After a flurry of stabs, the daggers pierced through the white-clothed person's heart.

It was obvious that they were a group of well-trained assassins. However, they never expected that they would meet a real opponent today. After a gust of wind passed, the blades left his hands and pierced deep into the throbbing throats. In an instant, blood spurted out from the throats, and the nauseating smell of blood covered all the smells in the surroundings.

It wasn't the man in white who was spitting out blood, but the four assassins who had just charged up from both the front and back. Perhaps, even in death, they could not understand why the sharp blades that had pierced the white-robed man's heart meridian all of a sudden had pierced each other. This was because they had never seen the supreme technique of the Mo family, which had disappeared from the martial arts world for many years ? the Eight Styles of Mo Shou. Just now, the white robed man had used one of them ? Mo Yu's Concealment.

The remaining people didn't even have time to be surprised. The assassin's instinct told them that it was time to repeat the other move. Even if they were to die together, they couldn't give their opponent any leeway to escape. This time around, their target was no longer the white-clothed cultivator from earlier. Instead, it was the powerless and trembling Yan Dan.

This attack was really powerful because their original goal was to capture Yan Dan, and whether their prey was alive or dead was meaningless to them. This was the way assassins dealt with matters with things with the intent to accomplish. Despite the fact that the white-clothed soldier's kung fu was extremely high, allowing him to dodge everyone's sneak attack, he did not expect that this group of pursuers would go crazy and use all their might to take that scholar's life.

One after another, the sharp blades seemed to close in on Yan Dan's vitals, as if there was no way to reverse the situation. Yan Dan also seemed to have seen his impending doom, and closed his eyes, awaiting the arrival of fate. However, at that moment, the fate he had been waiting for did not come. Instead, he felt a strong undercurrent rushing up from beneath his feet, and his internal organs suddenly expanded, as if there was a fireball about to explode, forcing him to shout out "Ah!", and the assassins that were approaching his body were all sent flying by Yan Dan as if they had been struck by lightning.

The remaining leader saw that the situation had gone awry and knew that he was no match for the man in white. He immediately turned his horse around and shouted as he urged his mount to gallop away.

When Yan Dan finally regained his senses, he felt that his hands and feet were somewhat numb. The truth was that the white-clothed warrior had directly transmitted his inner force from the ground to his Yongquan acupoint, and then released it out of his body, instantly blasting away all the assassins who were near him. However, as he had never learnt any martial arts before, he would only feel his limbs go numb after his inner force had dissipated. When he looked at the man in white again, he saw that he was slowly walking to the corpses of the assassins, casually rummaging something from their waists.

Suddenly, he heard the man in white say angrily, "It's these bloodthirsty criminals again. I knew I shouldn't have let them go!" When he looked again, there was only one more thing in his hand, and that was the Flying Eagle Jade Lotus that the assassins of the Qin Nation wore for their status.

"Many thanks to this chivalrous hero for righteously saving us!" When Yan Dan saw that he had escaped this calamity by a fluke, he immediately felt gratified and knelt down in front of the man in white to express his gratitude.

However, the man in white did not seem to care about Yan Dan's thanks. He only raised his head and looked at Yan Dan, only to see that Yan Dan's face was covered by a black cloth, and could not be seen clearly, and was too lazy to look at him any further, and only casually said: "Scholar need not be overly courteous, just now I thought that it was a gang of bandits robbing a passing caravan, but now I know that this gang of robbers is the assassins of the Qin, if I knew this would happen, I would not have let the leader go!" That white robed man went forward to help Yan Dan up, and said angrily.

"The chivalrous warriors are so indignant, could it be that they also have enmity with the Qin's thugs?" Yan Dan said with a bit of doubt and anger when he saw the white-clothed warrior speak of Qin Thief in such a manner.

"Oh, the Duke of Qin is overbearing and immoral. The world also knows of Qin Thief's heinous actions of killing innocents. This lowly one wants to make all those who are righteous under the heavens suffer an irreconcilable enmity with him." The man in white seemed to feel that he had misunderstood his words and he purposefully made up an excuse.

"What the swordsman said is true. I was unable to bear the evil deeds of the Qin nation's thugs so I was chased to this point. The servants who were protecting me were all killed by the thieves. Ah, pitiful them all died because of me."

"Humph, I will make these bastards pay the price sooner or later!" When the white-clothed warrior heard this, he immediately became furious.

"Heroic warriors are righteous. If the innocent citizens of the world hear their chivalrous words, they will definitely feel grateful. This humble one thanks the chivalrous warriors on behalf of the common people." Yan Dan cupped his fists and bowed again, "I wonder what your name is."

"I am Jing Wuya of the countryside. I was exiled because my ancestors met with great calamity." The man in white saluted and thanked her, before casually asking Yan Dan, "Why did the scholar use a black cloth to cover his face and not reveal his true appearance?"

"So it is Heroic Assassin Jing. It is my pleasure to meet you. I am the Emperor of Yan ? The Young Master of Taiyang Jia Shang, Yan Dan, paid his respects to the Vanguard. As for my black cloth covering my face, I have no choice but to do so. I hope that Heroic Assassin Jing will not mind. " Yan Dan almost blurted out the news just now. Luckily, she managed to change the topic very quickly.

Sigh, Young Master Yan has bowed again and again, causing me to feel pain in my back. "Jing Wuya saw that Yan Dan did not want to show my face, so he did not bother saying anything else. He only twisted his waist with one hand, then looked up at the sky, and said to Yan Dan," It's not early yet, I should hurry on my way. After Jing Wuya finished speaking, he raised his hand to collect the Seven Star Dragon's Abyss Sword that had sunk into the rocks, then turned to leave. Because with his personality, he was not used to such mundane and tiresome words, so he could only think of leaving this place as soon as possible.

"I'll see you again, Heroic Assassin Jing." As Yan Dan watched Jing Wuya turn and leave, he bowed and paid his respects to him. For some reason, he felt as if he had an unbreakable bond with Jing Wuya, but it was still unclear.
