Chapter 576 - 562: Another Sneak Attack!

Chapter 576: Chapter 562: Another Sneak Attack!

The moment Ye Blade was grasped, Xiao Ye’s figure burst forth, charging towards the ten Shadow Guards.

Swoosh!

A Wind King Realm instantly arose behind Xiao Ye, whipping up a raging wind inside the cave, blinding one’s eyes.

Yet faster than the raging winds was Xiao Ye’s blade.

Gentle!

Fast!

These were the words that surfaced in the mind of a Shadow Guard in his final moments of life.

Swoosh!

A fierce Sword Light burst forth, Xiao Ye executed his self-created Saber Technique, cleaving the body of a Shadow Guard into two halves, blood spurting out and staining the cave floor red.

As for Little White, it was even more ferocious, biting two Shadow Guards to death.

Xiao Ye and Little White, a man and a beast, both possessed exceptional strength. Working together, they were like the apocalypse to these Shadow Guards.

"Shadow Sword Technique!"

The leading Shadow Guard, with a King Realm rising behind him as well, held a very thin Longsword. While Xiao Ye was busy killing other Shadow Guards, he charged forward and thrust his sword.

This strike seemed like Divine Punishment from the Nine Heavens, timed so exquisitely it made Xiao Ye’s back suddenly turn cold.

"Hmph, mere trivial beings dare to strike at me, seeking death!" Xiao Ye cleaved another Shadow Guard next to him, and with his other hand suddenly stretched out, a purple glow emanating, he bare-handedly grabbed the opponent’s Longsword.

The purple glow rising from Xiao Ye’s palm was a sign of the King Body in action!

With the King Body in action, the opponent’s Longsword couldn’t even pierce his palm, not a single drop of blood fell.

The Shadow Guard’s face changed drastically, he immediately let go of his Longsword, and burst towards the cave’s exit.

This assassination plan clearly failed, and Xiao Ye’s Cultivation not only far exceeded theirs, but he also had a ferocious beast helping. If he didn’t escape now, he too would die here.

"Since you’ve come, then don’t think about leaving!" Xiao Ye let out a long howl, his body shot out like an arrow released from its bow, and directly stepped on the back of this Shadow Guard, pinning him to the ground.

On the other side, Little White also showed great Divine Power, biting the remaining Shadow Guards one by one, blood flowing everywhere.

"Speak, who sent you to ambush me?" Xiao Ye flipped the last Shadow Guard over, his Ye Blade pointing at him, coldly saying.

This Shadow Guard looked at Xiao Ye in terror, seemingly not expecting Xiao Ye to be so powerful that he couldn’t even escape.

Hearing Xiao Ye’s questioning, the Shadow Guard’s gaze flickered several times, then black blood flowed from his mouth, his neck tilted, losing all signs of life.

"He actually committed suicide by taking poison? Truly a ruthless mindset!" Xiao Ye slightly furrowed his brows, then squatted down and began searching through the ten corpses of the Shadow Guards.

Soon, he found several booklets and several bottles of Healing Pills. Most of the corpses had nothing on them, let alone finding any Token that could prove their identities.

Xiao Ye glanced at the few booklets, all of which were about techniques and combat skills for concealing one’s presence and form. After pondering for a moment, thinking they might come in handy later, he tossed them into his space ring.

Without finding something to prove their identities, he could guess that these Shadow Guards must have been sent by the Tianyuan City Lord.

Otherwise, how could it be possible that just as he left Tianyuan City, these Shadow Guards had followed right afterward?

"Without even having items to prove their identities, could it be they fear that I might return to Taiyi Palace and report to the Elder, thus implicating themselves?" Xiao Ye sneered inwardly.

Unable to prove the origins of these Shadow Guards, Taiyi Palace indeed wouldn’t stand up for him, but does that mean he himself couldn’t seek revenge?

"Hmph, Tianyuan City Lord, I, Xiao Ye, will remember this grudge. I will cultivate here and once I comprehend the method to fuse two types of King Martial Power from the King Martial Scroll of the Four Emperor Skills, and further elevate my cultivation, I will return this grudge to you!" Cold light surged in Xiao Ye’s eyes.

He wasn’t someone excessively kind-hearted; he wouldn’t attack others if not provoked, but if someone dared to provoke him and act ruthlessly against him, he would definitely not let them off.

Due to the numerous corpses inside the cave, Xiao Ye felt nauseous and couldn’t continue to focus on his cultivation there, so he packed up and walked out of the cave with Little White, planning to find another place for quiet meditation.

At this moment, outside the cave, on a large tree, a young man in a white robe was concealed, closely watching the direction of the cave, a trace of puzzlement flashing in his eyes.

"How did it become quiet so quickly? Could it be that the Shadow Guards’ ambush failed?" the young man in white thought silently to himself.

He had witnessed Xiao Ye’s strength; even though the Shadow Guards could hide their form and attack silently, it was unlikely they could succeed so smoothly.

The battle from the start to the finish lasted only a few dozen breaths, which was clearly unreasonable and likely meant something unexpected had happened.

"And earlier, why were there sounds of a ferocious beast from inside the cave?" The young man in white robe felt uneasy and puzzled, and not understanding the situation, he didn’t dare to rashly burst in.

At that moment, the young man in the white robe suddenly tensed up, crouching lower and holding his breath.

He saw Xiao Ye walking out of the cave, carrying the Ye Blade on his back, his robe fluttering, showing no signs of injury.

"What worthless Shadow Guards, they were resolved so quickly!" The young man in white narrowed his eyes and cursed inwardly.

After all, Xiao Ye’s capabilities were extraordinary; he had even planned to take advantage of the situation when Xiao Ye and the Shadow Guards were both weakened.

"This young man was able to dispose of the Shadow Guards so quickly, his background must be extraordinary, and surely he must have many treasures on him!" Looking at Xiao Ye moving further away, the young man in white struggled internally for a moment, but greed ultimately prevailed.

"With my Light Body Combat Technique, there’s a huge possibility for a successful sneak attack!"

"It’s now or never. If it succeeds this time, let’s see if my old father still dares to say I only have my strength because of his background!" The young man in white’s eyes blazed with intense light as he drew a longsword from his space ring.

Whoosh!

The young man in white burst out from the tree, his speed instantly soaring to the extreme, like a bolt of lightning rushing toward Xiao Ye.

At the same time, his longsword, like the scythe of the Death God, poured out a massive wave of Sword Light, stabbing towards Xiao Ye’s back.

"What!"

While searching for a place to seclude himself for cultivation, Xiao Ye suddenly felt a jolt in his heart, sensing an ominous premonition and feeling enveloped by a strong murderous intent.

At the same time, Little White, nestled in Xiao Ye’s arms, let out a long cry and lunged towards Xiao Ye’s back.
