"Haha, Yang Kai from the Yang Family. What a great Yang Family!"
The Son of Ice, Shangguan Rui, sneered. Now, he obviously understood why Yang Kai wanted to kill him. It was probably because he had received orders from his family!
The Yang Family and the Shangguan Family had always been mortal enemies. Shangguan Rui was the Shangguan Family's pride. If the Yang Family could get rid of Shangguan Rui, it would undoubtedly be a good thing!
The black sword in Yang Kai's hand slashed out with an unimaginable sharpness. His path of assassination had been cultivated to the pinnacle.
With one strike, the wind and clouds shook. Everyone present was shocked by the King of Assassins, Yang Kai's strike.
They didn't even know how the King of Assassins, Yang Kai, attacked. They only saw a shadow flash past. Then, the King of Assassins came to Shangguan Rui's side and unleashed an extremely fierce attack!
"Your Shadow Assassination Skill is indeed powerful, but it's still not enough to kill me!"
Shangguan Rui sneered. A thick layer of ice armor appeared on his body, forming a layer of defense.
Previously, the Son of Ice, Shangguan Rui, was injured because he was caught off guard. Now that he was prepared, it would still be difficult for the King of Assassins, Yang Kai, to kill him.
The difference between the third and fourth place on the Heaven Leaderboard wasn't too big.
In fact, Yang Kai knew that he couldn't kill Shangguan Rui. However, he had received orders from his family to not give up until he killed Shangguan Rui!
If they fought with their lives on the line, Yang Kai would definitely be the winner in the end. However, it would definitely be a lose-lose situation.
"I'm requisitioning your Five Elements Swords."
Just as Yang Kai and Shangguan Rui were fighting fiercely, Ye Qing suddenly spoke with a sharp glint in his eyes.
Hearing Ye Qing's words, everyone was stunned. They all looked at Ye Qing in astonishment, treating him as a fool.
Damn it. The Son of Ice, Ye Qing, was about to attack just now and was finally interrupted by the King of Assassins. Yet, Ye Qing still didn't leave and was still pestering endlessly. Did he really think that the three Five Elements Swords in his hands weren't tempting?
The proud sons of heaven from the seven great aristocratic families who were present were even beginning to stir. Of course, no one dared to be the first to step forward and offend Ye Qing.
"What are you?"
The cold eyes of the King of Assassins swept over, making people feel as if they had fallen into an endless abyss.
The King of Assassins, Yang Kai, was a legendary figure. With his Shadow Assassination Technique, he had killed countless geniuses!
Ye Qing wasn't a member of the Heaven List at all. It was disrespectful to the King of Assassins to speak loudly in front of him.
"I said, I'm taking your Five Elemental Swords. Is there a problem?"
Ye Qing's eyes were calm, and there was not the slightest ripple in his heart.
An uproar broke out among the crowd. Every genius from the Seven Grand Clans had a change in expression, while some of them were waiting for a good show to unfold. They were curious to see what would happen to Ye Qing after offending two members of the Heaven Ranking.
"Yang Kai, with your strength, you won't be able to kill me. Why don't we discuss how to seize that little brat's Five Elements Swords first?"
Shangguan Rui sneered. His body was encased in ice, and his physical defense was heaven-defying.
Under that layer of ice, Shangguan Rui was full of confidence. His eyes turned to Ye Qing's position and looked at the three Five Elements Swords in Ye Qing's hands!
Legend had it that if one gathered all five Five Elements Swords, they would have a chance to obtain the inheritance in the third level of the Demonic Dragon Secret Dimension!
That was the bloodline of a superior dragon. It was a heaven-defying treasure that was enough to tempt countless people.
Yang Kai didn't move for the time being, but he also didn't continue to attack Shangguan Rui. He knew what the Five Elements Swords meant, so he knew the severity of the situation. Compared to the mission of killing Shangguan Rui, it was obviously more important to seize the Five Elements Swords.
"Yang Kai, what are you hesitating for?
Let's kill that little brat first. As for his three Five Elements Swords, we'll distribute them later! "
Shangguan Rui transmitted his voice again with anticipation in his eyes. He knew that Ye Qing's methods were extraordinary. With his own abilities, he might not be able to kill Ye Qing completely. However, with the King of Assassins, Yang Kai, present, the outcome would be completely different.
"Is there a need for you and me to join forces to kill a nameless person?
Shangguan Rui, don't you find it embarrassing? "
Yang Kai sneered and completely ignored Shangguan Rui. In his opinion, with his own abilities, he was completely capable of killing Ye Qing. He didn't need Shangguan Rui's help at all.
"You!"
Shangguan Rui was flustered and exasperated. His face was red, and he wanted to attack. However, due to the King of Assassins, Yang Kai's abilities, he didn't do it on the spot.
As Yang Kai spoke, his entire body disappeared. In the next moment, Yang Kai directly appeared behind Ye Qing. His movements were like a ghost, and it was hard to catch him!
The King of Assassins, Yang Kai, was most proficient in the art of concealment, not swordsmanship!
The Shadow Assassination Skill was to conceal one's body and deliver a fatal blow at the crucial moment.
The moment Yang Kai executed the Shadow Assassination Skill, even with the strength of Ye Qing's Soul, he could only sense Yang Kai's approximate location. He was unable to confirm Yang Kai's true location.
With a "rip", a pitch-black ancient sword pierced through Ye Qing's back. It was so fast that no one had time to react.
The art of assassination required speed. The power of Yang Kai's sword wasn't at the peak of Liangzhou County. It wasn't even as powerful as the Wind Chasing Eighteen Swords.
However, his sword was fast enough. Moreover, his movements were strange enough. He could often pierce the enemy's vital points in the shortest time possible.
When the ancient black sword pierced Ye Qing, a satisfied smile appeared on Yang Kai's face. He had practiced this set of killing methods countless times. As long as the opponent wasn't a Heaven Roll expert, they would basically die under this one sword.
However, Yang Kai's expression quickly changed. He realized that when his ancient black sword pierced Ye Qing, no blood spurted out. It didn't even pierce Ye Qing's skin!
Yang Kai was dumbfounded. His black sword was a Heaven-class upper-grade Dharma treasure. It was one of the Yang Family's most precious treasures!
The black sword was extremely sharp and could cut through iron like mud. Even Shangguan Rui's Frost Treasured Armor was damaged. It was clear how powerful the black sword was!
The black sword combined with Yang Kai's art of assassination had astonishing power.
However, the result was shocking. Yang Kai's sharp sword clearly pierced Ye Qing's back, but it didn't hurt Ye Qing at all. It was simply unbelievable!
Not far away, the Son of Ice, Shangguan Rui, sneered. He had long known that Ye Qing was powerful. Now that he saw Yang Kai suffer, he was very happy.
As for the geniuses from the seven grand families, they were extremely shocked. It was as if they had turned into clay sculptures. They couldn't understand Ye Qing's defense at all!
It could be said that even the King of Assassins, Yang Kai's sword was something that even the King of Vajra wouldn't dare to take head-on!
But Ye Qing forcefully withstood it, and there was not even the slightest trace of injury.
A golden light flashed on Ye Qing's body. With the bloodline of the Supreme Dragon God, his physical defense was simply heaven-defying. Even if he took a sword from an expert at the peak of the ninth tier of the Divine Treasure Realm, he would still be safe and sound!
"How can this be?"
The King of Assassins, Yang Kai, was shocked. His face was full of disbelief!
As the King of Assassins, that sword was already his proudest work. In his opinion, it was impossible for Ye Qing to still be alive.
"King of Assassins, Yang Kai, third on the Heaven List. Is this your strength?
Did you not eat? "
Ye Qing rolled his eyes. He was a little disappointed. He thought that the King of Assassins was powerful, but it turned out that he was just a clown.
Yang Kai's face was gloomy to the extreme. He was ridiculed by Ye Qing, but he couldn't refute it. The sword just now did not work.
Yang Kai couldn't help but look at the Son of Ice, Shangguan Rui, who was not far away.
Now, Yang Kai had no choice but to ask Shangguan Rui for help. Without Shangguan Rui's help, Yang Kai couldn't have killed Ye Qing and taken the Five Elements Sword!
