Chapter 7

The blade came straight at Ye Xiao, the blade's edge not yet reaching him, but the blade's aura already arrived. Such a domineering blade aura forced its way to kill, and perhaps even without the blade's edge touching him, the blade's aura alone was enough to be fatal!

Ye Xiao's cultivation was almost non-existent, but the old man's discerning eyesight remained. At this moment, he could see clearly that this was precisely the Thousand Mountains Split in the path of the blade! If this blade were to truly cleave down on him, he would undoubtedly be completely dismembered from head to toe, leaving no part of his body intact!

Killing me without discerning right from wrong? And even dismembering me into pieces?!

Ye Xiao was enraged, truly enraged.

Just as the raging spiritual energy within his body was seeking an outlet, it surged throughout his body, as if he were back to his full strength. Ye Xiao almost instinctively waved his sleeve forward, without a second thought, and casually used the Eight Desolations Laugh, intending to counterattack and repel the enemy.

With a wave of his sleeve, he laughed at the eight desolations!

This was precisely the Laughing Lord's signature move!

But just as he used it, he realized: Oh no, I am no longer the Laughing Lord of my previous life. No matter how surging the spiritual energy is, it is all external, and I cannot use it at will. The power of this move cannot be fully unleashed, and it cannot possibly counterattack and repel the enemy.

But the next moment, he was startled by himself.

The boundless raging spiritual energy within his body seemed to have found an outlet, surging out one after another!

A sharp wind suddenly rose, and then a purple light sphere burst out.

At this moment, Ye Xiao had an illusion that he had returned to his prime in his previous life!

The Laughing Lord who laughed at heroes, had returned?!

Pfft...

A light sound, the figure rushing forward with a fierce blade could no longer advance, could not cleave down. His entire body was lifted by the sudden gale, and the blade in his hand, forced by the fierce wind, actually turned and struck back at his own head with irresistible force!

The momentum was even more fierce than when it came!

Facing such a sudden change, the man was terrified, but being a seasoned warrior, he reacted quickly. With a snap, both his wrists broke, and the back of the blade "bang" struck his head, causing him to bleed profusely!

Under the impact, his body flew backward like a broken kite, "bang" hitting the wall, then bouncing back, his bones and muscles almost shattered, but he managed to save his life.

The power of Ye Xiao's sleeve wave created such a shocking result! He used only intangible force to turn the steel blade back!

"Sky Yuan Master Realm?!... You are?" The few people opposite were stunned by the situation, their voices changing pitch!

My gods, I was about to leave on a mission, and now, just by casually meeting someone in a small alley, I've encountered a nightmare-like existence... What kind of luck is this...

The spiritual energy within Ye Xiao's body remained boiling, not slowing down much from the previous strike. It was now surging to the point of bursting. With a cold snort, he casually grabbed the air, rubbed his hands, and with a "clang," the night sky visibly distorted, and he actually pulled a sword out of thin air!

Spiritual energy transformed into a sword, everything can be a weapon!

The Laughing Lord's signature move, Laughing at the Vast Sky!

A laugh in the void, taking life and soul!

"Creation from Nothingness?! You are..." The few people opposite cried out in shock, retreating simultaneously, clearly knowing they could not match him, and intending to escape.

But it was too late.

Ye Xiao's eyes were filled with killing intent. He took a step forward and thrust his sword!

A brilliant purple light appeared and then exploded, like a purple firework suddenly blooming in the night sky. The sword light flashed as if trying to reclaim the lost time of a thousand years!

"Ugh..." A strange muffled sound, the man who had wielded the blade and two others were struck in the throat, their eyes bulging, hands desperately gripping their throats, and their bodies collapsing softly.

One sword, three kills!

"Creation from Nothingness, Purple Light to the Horizon!" The leader, who was farthest from Ye Xiao and had reacted early, now retreated rapidly, the only survivor among them. But he had a large gash on his chest, his eyes filled with shock, looking at Ye Xiao in terror: "It's you! Ning Bile; you dare to attack us, even if you are the world's first assassin, the Holy Lord will never let you go!"

Ye Xiao was stunned. Ning Bile? Who is that? The world's first assassin? There's such a powerful person in this secular world...

And, the Holy Lord? What Holy Lord? Who is that?

Just as he was about to continue his attack to eliminate this guy and avoid future trouble, he felt the surging power that had been full just a moment ago now rapidly dissipating like a receding tide. The crisis in his meridians was resolved, but the extreme burst had also unleashed the power of the powder.

Not being his true refined spiritual energy, it could not last.

Without the support of subsequent spiritual energy, the spiritual energy sword in his hand also disappeared. Ye Xiao snorted and said, "You have the wrong person."

The Laughing Lord, who walked the world with integrity, would not let others take the blame for him!

But the more he denied it, the more the man was convinced it was him, believing he was Ning Bile. Such a profound and majestic demeanor, such a distinctive style of attack, who else could it be but the first assassin?

The man snorted, "Ning Bile, we will meet again. Wait for me!" His body flipped backward, and in extreme fear, he burst with unimaginable potential, spinning and disappearing into the night.

Fortunately, that killer did not attack again... The masked man was drenched in cold sweat. He had truly escaped with his life...

The search sounds were getting closer.

This place could not be stayed in!

But Ye Xiao also secretly felt lucky: "The killer did not attack again, I truly escaped with my life!"

According to Ye Xiao's judgment, the leader of the fleeing assassins was the strongest among them, even stronger than the one who had attacked him. If he had dared to attack again, Ye Xiao's remaining strength would not have been enough to resist.

The last bit of strength, though not enough to fight, was enough to escape. Ye Xiao's body flashed like a ghost, instantly disappearing from the scene.

This move was precisely the Laughing Lord's famous technique from his previous life: Laughing to the Horizon!

Ye Xiao flashed out several dozen feet, then fell heavily to the ground. The sudden surge of spiritual energy was now completely gone!

At the peak of his power, the Laughing Lord could instantly move several dozen miles with the Laughing to the Horizon technique. Now, it was only several dozen feet, a world of difference.

Ye Xiao was somewhat disappointed and unsatisfied with this result, but being able to escape from the center of the chaos was already a stroke of luck. As a martial arts master, he understood that the short distance was not due to the inadequacy of his "Laughing to the Horizon" technique, but due to his current poor condition and the extremely low amount of spiritual energy in his body. The combination of these adverse conditions resulted in the "poor" distance.

What he did not know was that if his sudden movement of several dozen feet were seen by an expert, they would likely be stunned!

What Ye Xiao did not know even more was that—

At this moment, the chaos was not limited to the Left Chancellor's residence, but had spread throughout the entire capital!

Everywhere, people were shouting and horses were neighing, countless soldiers rushed onto the streets, conducting a thorough search.

"Capture the assassin!"

"Don't let the assassin escape!"

"Search carefully, don't miss any suspicious person."

"Better to kill by mistake than to miss!"

The chaos started from one corner of the capital, like a large stone dropped into a calm lake, the ripples rapidly spreading throughout the city, the situation becoming increasingly severe!

Although Ye Xiao's internal spiritual energy was exhausted, he still had the strength to walk, barely supporting himself on the street. By the time he returned home, he was completely exhausted, not even able to move a finger...

On the way, he encountered countless waves of soldiers at checkpoints, but everyone recognized the wastrel son of the Northern Defense General. Seeing him walk with a wobbly gait, as if he had overindulged in wine and women, no one had any interest in stopping him.

Even if they were investigating the assassin, they would never associate it with such a wastrel, deeming it unnecessary to bother.

Just as Ye Xiao arrived at his doorstep, he heard a voice angrily shouting, "Where have you been? At a time like this, you're still wandering around, I'll beat you to death!"

The voice, though full of anger, was clear and pleasant, belonging to a young girl.

Ye Xiao looked up and saw two young girls standing under the lantern at his door. The one in front, pouting, glared at him fiercely, but her anger was charmingly adorable.

The guard at the door looked miserable, "Young Master, the Lady has come to see you..."

Ye Xiao's scalp tingled. From the memories he had inherited, he knew that the girl in front was the daughter of the Huayang King, his betrothed, the Night Moon Lady, arranged by his adoptive father.

Hmm, wasn't she supposed to be gentle and virtuous? Now, she's giving me a roar like a lion, what's going on...

Before Ye Xiao could react, a soft hand grabbed his ear, "You're not coming in?"

The maid beside her covered her mouth, trying to stifle a laugh, as Lord Ye was dragged into the house, his ear being pulled.

"Ouch, ouch, be gentle..." Ye Xiao's face was grim, his body was at its weakest after the burst, and he couldn't take it...

"Speak! What were you doing, you scoundrel!" The Night Moon Lady glared at Ye Xiao.

Under the lamplight, the beauty had a different charm. The Night Moon Lady had a face like a lotus, arched eyebrows, clear and intelligent eyes, a pert little nose, and cherry lips. Her hair was lightly tied up, with a faint down on her forehead and ears... Truly a poetic and picturesque beauty. Even when she tried to look fierce and terrifying, she was still an incomparably beautiful woman, with a myriad of charming features, beyond description.
