Chapter 5256: Kill her |
Shen Shiqi was a formidable fighter, but so were those dozens of black robed men. Now, only three or five of his men remained by his side, and every one of them was wounded and looked utterly exhausted. In contrast, the black robed men radiated a fierce killing intent; their attacks were relentless, and the slightest misstep would mean certain death by the sword!
"These are people from the Shen family, one of the top clans. I’ve met the Seventeenth Young Master once. But how did they end up crossing paths with the Rakshasa Hall? These are all top-tier assassins, and they’re all willing to die for the cause. I’ve heard that once the Rakshasa Hall strikes, there’s absolutely no chance of survival."
The cultivator murmured to himself. Though he wanted to step forward to help—hoping to forge ties with a top-tier clan like the Shen family—the Rakshasa Hall was no force to be trifled with. Each of their members possessed formidable strength that could not be underestimated. Valuing his own life, he dared not offer assistance.
"I don’t think they can hold out much longer. The dozens of assassins the Rakshasa Hall sent are all top-tier killers. Even if that man is the Seventeenth Young Master of the Shen family, I doubt he’ll survive their attack." .
Another cultivator remarked, quietly stepping back. It was best not to get involved in such matters, and certainly not to get too close—otherwise, one could easily invite trouble.
Yue’er watched the scene while alerting her master to come over immediately. When she saw a black robed man hurl a hidden weapon at Shen Shiqi, she immediately shouted a warning.
"Watch out for the hidden weapons!"
"Whoosh, whoosh!"
Perhaps thanks to her warning, Shen Shiqi narrowly dodged the two projectiles. As they struck the ground, even a single blade of grass withered instantly, causing those nearby to gasp in horror.
However, compared to the poison on the projectiles, what shocked and alarmed Shen Shiqi even more at that moment was that he actually saw Yun Qi here!
"Let’s go!" he barked at Yun Qi, urging her to leave quickly.
He knew her physical condition—she was currently unable to practice her cultivation, and her combat strength was practically nonexistent. If anything were to happen to her...
It was Yue’er’s timely warning that allowed Shen Shiqi to dodge the projectiles, and it was Shen Shiqi’s panic and concern that caused the two black robed men to exchange a glance in that instant. Suddenly, they shifted their attack and lunged toward Yue’er, who was about ten meters away.
Seeing the two black robed men reaching for her, Yue’er’s eyes widened. "I can’t actually fight, can I?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, her hand swept across her waist. shot out with a whoosh and struck the two black robed men attacking her with a crack.
"Ouch! It’s the Ancient Divine Whip!"
A searing pain shot through their hands, and upon seeing the whip, the two black robed men stared at her in utter shock, gazing at her—and the Ancient Divine Whip in her hand—with disbelief.
If their memory served them correctly, the Ancient Divine Whip should be in the possession of Yun Qi, the Azure Emperor’s junior disciple. As the Azure Emperor’s disciple, Yun Qi was said to possess extraordinary talent and exceptional prowess—it was absolutely impossible for her to be an ordinary mortal with no trace of spirit energy!
And as for snatching the Ancient Divine Whip—no one would dare do such a thing. After all, the Azure Emperor had long made it clear: whoever dares to seize the whip will have their entire clan slaughtered!
So, the Ancient Divine Whip held by the young girl before them must be a fake?
Although they felt pain in their hands, the whip’s impact on their limbs and bodies seemed far less devastating than they had imagined. Moreover, how could anyone hold the Divine Whip without channeling spirit energy to wield it?
Therefore, this whip is most likely a fake!
"Kill her!"
