Chapter 61: Lonely Cold Night

  Ye Gu Han, a lone and powerful high-ranking expert, Tian Xuan's top master.

  Everyone knows that he never gets close to anyone, introverted by nature, ruthless and cruel, once the sword is out, there has never been a survivor. But what people don't know is that this introverted swordsman was also a handsome, elegant, and sentimental young noble in his youth.

  Few people know that Ye Guhan and the current queen, Murong Xiuxiu, were once a pair of childhood sweethearts. However, for some unknown reason, Ye Guhan's family suffered a sudden downfall overnight, and they were removed from the imperial register in Kyoto. Ye Guhan himself became a nobody with no reputation to speak of. The powerful Murong family at that time would naturally not allow their daughter to marry someone who was nothing but a poor, low-ranking official. The Murong family's interference eventually led to the separation of the star-crossed lovers!

  Ye Guhan died, Murong Xiuxiu was grief-stricken and attempted to take her own life several times but was rescued each time. It wasn't until news of Ye Guhan's death arrived that Murong Xiuxiu, having lost all hope, finally submitted to her family's arrangements under her parents' persuasion and entered the palace to marry the current emperor, becoming empress a few years later.

  Ten years have passed since Ye Guhan left, and his sword practice has achieved great success. His cultivation of the mysterious energy has also reached the boundary of the Heavenly Mystery Realm. He felt that he was already worthy of matching Mu Rongxiu. Excitedly returning at this time, unexpectedly, the rivers had changed and the beauty had gone. The former lover had become the empress, and Ling Meng Gongzhu was already seven years old! The two people looked at each other with tears in their eyes, both feeling heartbroken.

  Once you enter the palace gates, it's like entering a deep sea; from then on, even the Night Lang becomes a passerby!

  Heaven's will is unpredictable, yesterday and today are different, fate toys with humans, it has come to this.

  Ye Gu Han's heart turned cold and his hair turned white overnight, his temperament changed greatly, becoming isolated and ruthless, not close to human feelings. But for the daughter of his former lover, Ling Meng Gong Zhu, he treated her as if she were his own, with great pity and love. Although he vowed never to see Murong Xiuxiu again, he often played with little Ling Meng, and only when facing Ling Meng Gong Zhu did Ye Gu Han's icy cold heart melt slightly.

  In fact, Ye Guhan has become the guardian deity of Princess Ling Meng! No matter who it is, even if it's the current emperor wanting to scold Princess Ling Meng, Ye Guhan dares to draw his sword! Princess Ling Meng is now Ye Guhan's only spiritual dependence in this world and also the biggest reverse scale for this cold-blooded and lonely swordsman.

  This matter, to say more, is a secret of the imperial family, and there are originally very few people who know about it. Therefore, the mastermind behind these killers is also unknown, otherwise, they would not have sent only two Golden Needle assassins to come and kill, and there might not even be this assassination! Even if they really wanted to assassinate, at least two or more Tianxuan masters would be needed.

  Ye Guhan has now confirmed that the mysterious master hiding in the shadows will not make a move, but he will not let these killers go either, so he appears.

  Anyone who wants to harm Ling Meng Gongzhu, no matter who it is, in Ye Guhan's eyes, will be killed without pardon!

  Slowly turning around, drawing his sword! The slender sword body trembled like a snake, the blue light rippling up, the sword tip slowly rose, pointing at the nine assassins. Ye Guhan's face was cold and cruel: "Die!"

  Nine killers were speechless, before we kept asking our seniors if there were any other instructions, just to test you, but you didn't make a sound. When we wanted to leave, you came out to block us. Isn't this obviously playing with people?

  They naturally didn't know, everything was off because the object was actually two people!

  "It's freezing tonight! If you want to kill someone, use a sword, not your mouth!" The two black-clad assassins' leaders grew more and more enraged. Even if your martial arts skills are far superior to ours, there's no need to be so arrogant! Knowing they were out of luck, they instead became bolder and even started mocking us.

  Ye Guhan's expression remained unchanged, still as cold as ice, his eyes gleaming like arrows, his body straight and tall like a pine tree. His heart was ruthless, the sword light even colder. Suddenly, it flashed, the pale blue sword light exploding like fireworks, enveloping the surroundings, dispersing and emerging, responding to the assassin leader's request to kill with a sword in actual action.

  It's pointless to waste your breath and have a futile conversation with someone who is as good as dead. It's undoubtedly a very stupid move!

  The sword's light was resplendent, with a faint blue hue of beautiful light. With one swing of the sword, it had a kind of dreamy and illusory gorgeous feeling. However, amidst this wonderful glow, there was also a strong sense of heartbreaking sorrow. At this moment, the cold and desolate sword light was actually the same as Ye Gu's face - bleak and dismal!

  The lone figure swiftly moved, deceiving the body, and drew his sword! The nearest Silver Mystic assassin had a faint, mournful mark suddenly appear on their throat, and blood burst out in an instant like mist, merging into the pale blue sword shadow that filled the air. The red and blue intermingled, making this scene of slaughter full of a heartbreaking beauty!

  The sword is out of its sheath, and my heart is broken. Where can I find someone who understands me at the end of the world? Lonely...

  That killer's body slowly fell to the ground, his white hair fluttering in the cold night wind. His solitary figure had already appeared between the other two killers. These killers who had just been so arrogant and invincible now looked like chickens and dogs before him, unable to withstand a single blow!

  Just as a top-notch Silver player can see those below Ninth Rank as ants, a top-notch Tian Xuan player sees Gold and Silver players as child's play!

  Two streams of blood light shot out again, one after the other. Ye Guhan's face remained cold and unchanging, with a dreamy pale blue hue flashing back and forth in the midst of the bloody glow, like a ghost, like a specter, like wind, like mist!

  Jin and Yin are facing the enemy head-on, but this is simply a futile effort, like hitting an egg against a rock. There's not even a glimmer of hope in this battle, let alone when they're up against Ye Guhan, a ruthless and infamous cold-blooded killer known for his merciless slaughter?

  "Wind tight! Scatter, run!" The leader of the killers shouted loudly, and the last bit of luck in his heart disappeared without a trace. The first one sprang up like an arrow and shot towards the distance. The remaining five killers also scattered and fled like exploding bombs, each one escaping on their own!

  The ending is without suspense, and the only thing that can be thought about is whether any of these nine assassins will be able to escape unscathed.

  A lone, mournful cry echoed through the night, its sound filled with a dense, desolate sorrow. A chilling killing intent burst forth, accompanied by an endless sense of isolation, and a pale blue sword light surged up, like a massive blue gemstone flying rapidly through the air. With each swift inhalation and exhalation of the pale blue sword light, another assassin let out a blood-curdling scream as they fell to the ground.

  With a raise of his hand and a flash of his sword, the four Silver Rank assassins who attempted to escape were killed in an instant. Their bodies had not yet hit the ground when Ye Guhan had already intercepted one of the Gold Rank assassin leaders with his sword. These two assassin leaders were the strongest among their group, and they escaped in opposite directions. Even with Ye Guhan's skills, after killing the other four Silver Rank assassins, he could only intercept one of them. As for the other one, he was powerless to stop him!

  Jun Xie lay on the ground, his eyes open a slit to watch the commotion. Seeing Ye Guhan's majestic power, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in his heart. This Ye Guhan's ability, if they were to clash head-on, even Jun Xie's previous life abilities wouldn't be its match! This made Jun Xie reevaluate this world's mysterious energy once again.

  Of course, this is only on the premise of a fair fight. If we're talking about assassination methods, Jun Xie was confident that he had N number of ways to kill Ye Gu Xuan, but after all, head-on combat wasn't his strongest suit!

  Light blue, it's just the initial stage of Tian Xuan, yet it already has such a powerful aura. I wonder what the peak of Tian Xuan is like? What about the Supreme Divine Xuan? Jun Xie felt an intense thrill of excitement in his heart!

  Only by fighting with the strong can one improve themselves the fastest! Unfortunately, the current Jun Xie is far from having the strength to challenge the strong. If not for this, he would probably jump up and propose a fight to Ye Guhan immediately!

  What strength!

  His heart was boiling like a pot of oil, rolling over with unparalleled longing! At this moment, he found that the escaped killer leader was coincidentally rushing towards him in a sorry state. A strong killing intent suddenly arose in Jun Xie's heart!

  Damn it, you brought people and got me into this state, and you actually think you can just walk away? Is there such a cheap thing?!

  With a flick of his wrist, a flying knife appeared in his hand. Qian Ye's face was hidden behind his sleeve, and he let out a sinister smile: "Go die, little brat!"
