Chapter 347: Chapter 344Countless dark-gold specks scattered in all directions, and with the sheer force emanating outwards, Ye Xuan’s body utilized this thrust to burst forth, swiftly closing in on Hei Sha. "The one who will die is you." Seeing Ye Xuan surge towards him, a surge of murderous intent increased sharply in Hei Sha, and his hand, which held a dagger, stabbed towards Ye Xuan with even greater ferocity, intending to strike him down in one fell swoop. However, just as the murderous intent on his body peaked, he saw a hint of mockery flash through Ye Xuan’s eyes. In the next instant, he saw Ye Xuan suddenly stretch out his palm. On his palm, a dark-gold light flashed, and a dragon scale the size of an egg subtly appeared. The moment the dragon scale appeared, Hei Sha’s pupils abruptly constricted, and a sense of impending death quietly crept into his mind. "No!" A trace of fear suddenly emerged in his eyes, and a hoarse roar came from Hei Sha’s throat. However, before he could fully shout out, it got stuck in his throat. Then, the dark-gold light swept by, passing by Hei Sha’s throat at an almost imperceptible speed, leaving behind a line of crimson blood. Gurgling... Hei Sha clutched his throat as blood spurted out, reflecting in his eyes filled with fear and disbelief. He couldn’t imagine how, under the fierce joint attack from him and Red Spider, Ye Xuan could so easily break through his offensive and hit his vital points. He had been one of the top assassins under the Demon Dragon Venerable! To think he would die at the hand of his own assassination target, what a joke. Yet, toward Hei Sha’s fear-filled gaze enveloped with death, Ye Xuan did not pay any attention. He clenched his palm, and the dragon scale was retracted, seamlessly embedding back into his palm, returning to being a mere scale. Thud! The life in Hei Sha’s eyes quickly faded, his vigorous Primordial Power also completely collapsed, and immediately, his body fell over, lifeless. Ye Xuan reached out and took the Qiankun Ring from his hand, then delivered a reverse palm strike on Hei Sha’s chest. The latter’s corpse smashed heavily into the ground, leaving behind a human-shaped deep pit. With the carcass fully smashed into the ground, this top assassin sent by the Demon Dragon Young Master, a capable right-hand man under the Demon Dragon Venerable, had been completely annihilated by Ye Xuan within this inn. Originally, Ye Xuan had not planned to use the power of his bloodline, revealing his demonized form. However, with no other choice due to the aggression of these two, he activated his bloodline power and fought with all his might. "You... you actually killed Hei Sha?" Red Spider’s face twitched slightly, and even in her murderous eyes, a trace of shock emerged. She was somewhat surprised; Ye Xuan had managed to fend off her attack and even counter-killed Hei Sha while under such circumstances, leaving her helpless and unable to prevent it. Having killed Hei Sha, and considering her strength was similar to his, Ye Xuan undoubtedly had the capability to kill her as well... "This terrible guy..." Regret filled Red Spider’s heart as she looked at the pit left by Hei Sha, and she couldn’t help but feel a sense of trepidation. This young-looking individual was clearly not someone they could afford to provoke... "He brought it upon himself." Ye Xuan’s expression remained indifferent. Although he disliked killing, being driven to this point, he naturally couldn’t afford to make the foolish decision to spare a life, even if he wanted to retain a kind heart, it should not be out of misplaced mercy. "Young man, this is all Hei Sha’s fault. I was deceived and misled by him, leading me to stand against you. Now that he has been killed by you, let us call it even today, and convert hostility into friendship, how about that?" Knowing she was no match for Ye Xuan, Red Spider’s eyes shifted subtly, and a bright smile appeared on her face as if the previous conflict had never happened, portraying a rather friendly relationship with Ye Xuan. "If it were you, would you do the same?" The indifferent look on his face unchanged, Ye Xuan simply lightly countered with a question. At this point, having already played his last card, would it be possible for Ye Xuan to hold back? "I indeed acted foolishly just now." Red Spider’s face retained a smile, and then her expression turned slightly serious, "I have a Thousand-year-old Blood Bone Grass. I’d like to offer it as an apology gift to you, young man, what do you think?" "Good." To Red Spider’s surprise, Ye Xuan agreed, nodding seriously at her. However, Red Spider’s moment of surprise was fleeting, and then her face lit up with a smile. She took out a sealed brocade box from her ring and walked toward Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan slightly smiled and matched her pace, walking directly towards her. Seeing this, a sinister smile flashed deep within Red Spider’s eyes. How could she ever obediently submit to Ye Xuan? Such an opportunity should be seized to exploit Ye Xuan’s compassion and put him to death, then find a chance to consume his bloodline. She was exactly planning such a scheme. As she harbored these thoughts, intending to sabotage Ye Xuan, the corners of his mouth suddenly curved upward. In the next moment, an extremely terrifying soul fluctuation emerged from Ye Xuan’s forehead and unexpectedly blasted towards Red Spider without warning. Suddenly struck by Ye Xuan’s soul attack, Red Spider’s mind was momentarily bewildered, though it was just for an instant. However, when she regained her senses, Ye Xuan’s face was already within close reach, holding a sword that gleamed with a cold light. "Spare me, I am sincerely seeking peace, forgive me, and I am willing to serve you like an ox or horse in the future, sparing no effort!" Red Spider’s entire body stood on end at this moment as he sensed a thick scent of death and quickly shouted loudly. However, her words had no effect at all. Ye Xuan looked indifferent, his movements did not stop for even a moment, and the sharp Spiritual Edge Sword in his hand transformed into a streak of green light that mercilessly slashed across Red Spider’s neck. "It’s too late, you shouldn’t have waded into these troubled waters!" Blood sprayed forth as Ye Xuan’s low murmur echoed by Red Spider’s ear. Ye Xuan did not hesitate at all, he had anticipated that Red Spider would not easily comply, she must have had some scheme. To deal with such a scheming person, the only method was to kill, mercilessly, without a shred of pity. "You..." Red Spider’s eyes widened, and her expression was extremely unwilling as she found it hard to believe she was about to die at the hands of this young man. Being spurred by Hei Sha to deal with Ye Xuan was the most foolish thing she had done in her life. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world; this foolish act cost her her life. One could say that Red Spider’s fate was sealed from the moment she thought about taking Ye Xuan’s life. After killing Red Spider, Ye Xuan collected her Qiankun Ring and then gathered up both their bodies before leaving the inn. Ye Xuan could guess the origins of this Hei Sha, with only a few in Sky Demon Mountain wanting him dead. To be cautious, it was better to leave no traces, otherwise, if a stronger enemy discovered something, it would be very disadvantageous for him. The enemy is hidden while I am exposed, so I must be extremely careful. ... Sky Demon Mountain, Merit Hall. Inside the task hall, it was as crowded as ever, with numerous members of Sky Demon Mountain searching for suitable tasks. The person in charge of the tasks was still that grey-robed elder, who appeared quite turbid and listless in his gaze. In front of him, several members of Sky Demon Mountain were lined up, clearly there to submit their tasks. "Bronze Level task, kill the Stone Forest Cat Demon." "Iron Level task, protect the Tianxing Caravan." The grey-robed elder processed each task, checking the required items, then somewhat impatiently waved his hand at the person in front, "Next." Suddenly, a thin young man appeared in front of him, making the grey-robed elder feel a bit familiar, then he took the task scroll the young man handed over and opened it to look. "Gold Level task, defend Black Water Island. It’s you." The grey-robed elder remembered; about half a month ago, it was Ye Xuan who took on this gold-level task. He had thought Ye Xuan would surely die, but unexpectedly, the latter had returned alive. These words, when uttered in the hall, immediately drew the attention of many. A gold-level task was not a joke; those who could take on such tasks were all top experts within Sky Demon Mountain. "So, did the mission fail?" The grey-robed elder shook his head. In his opinion, Ye Xuan’s task must have failed. After all, the task to kill the commander of the Sea God Palace was not something simple, something that even some elders of Sky Demon Mountain couldn’t manage, let alone Ye Xuan. "Here is the mission item." Ye Xuan didn’t say much, just threw a bloody package in front of the grey-robed elder. On seeing this, the elder was initially stunned, then slowly opened the package, but the next moment, he was shocked by the head inside. After he took out a portrait for comparison, the shock on his face intensified. "It’s actually the general of the Sea God Palace, Teng Shou, you... you succeeded?!" The grey-robed elder’s face showed disbelief as he looked doubtfully at Ye Xuan, who was merely a Fourth Grade Demon King. How could he possibly kill a Seventh Grade Demon King level enemy? But Teng Shou’s head was in Ye Xuan’s hands, along with his Qiankun Ring, which left no room for doubt.
