The Beacon of Kyushu

Tianjie and Tianmie saw that Yun Zixiao focused on attacking Tiannan, and they knew that if they took action to protect Tiannan, the three of them would inevitably be passive at the same time. So they simply ignored Tiannan's life or death, and attacked Yun Zixiao's body with two long swords.

Yun Zixiao came here only to hire a killer, so he would never exchange his life with those three people. If the other party protected Tiannan, he could take advantage of this opportunity. However, seeing that his plan had failed, he would not continue to fight with Tiannan. Instead, he switched from offense to defense and wielded his sword to parry the attacks of the two men.

Tian Nan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Yun Zixiao withdrawing his sword to protect him. He attacked Yun Zixiao with his sword even more fiercely than the two of them, forming a three-sword combined attack posture again.

Yun Zixiao saw that the swordsmanship of the three people was sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes real, sometimes fake, and it was really difficult for one person to defeat the three people. However, the biggest flaw of the three people was the weapons in their hands, and this was precisely Yun Zixiao's biggest advantage.

"Since you three are determined to kill me, I have no choice but to offend you!" Yun Zixiao said as the Liuyun Sword in his hand shone brightly. The sharp sword energy was like the north wind howling on the top of Kunlun Mountain, and the dazzling sword light was like the blizzard flying on the top of Yuxu Peak. Each of his swords was not aimed at the bodies of the three people, but at the long swords in their hands, because he believed that once the killers lost their weapons, they would be like fish on the chopping board, allowing him to slaughter them at will.

The three of them tried their best to dodge, fearing that they would accidentally break their swords and die tragically under Yun Zixiao's sword. Yun Zixiao saw that this move really worked, and a sneer appeared on his lips again, and the Liuyun Sword became faster.

The three of them were able to attack Yun Zixiao just now, but now they dared not stand in one place and tried to dodge in all directions, fearing that the three swords would be cut into two pieces at the same time by his lightning-fast sword. Although they could avoid the swords being cut at the same time by separating, they could no longer show their advantage of outnumbering and could only watch Yun Zixiao defeat them one by one.

There are so many killers in Lihentian, and every one of them was once a murderous devil with blood on his hands. But in front of a seemingly weak young man like Yun Zixiao, every one of them felt fear from the bottom of their soul, so much fear that even their breathing almost stopped.

They stood there motionless, quietly watching how Yun Zixiao turned from passive to active, how he turned from repeatedly encountering danger to defeating them one by one, and no one came forward to help the three people of Tianjie who should have the upper hand. Admittedly, they had the selfish intention of using Yun Zixiao's hand to kill the three people so as to improve their status in Lihentian in the future, but more of it was out of fear of Yun Zixiao, and no one was willing to sacrifice their precious lives for a few so-called companions in vain.

Yun Zixiao glanced at the crowd with contempt in his eyes. Although he was also a person who could give up everything to save himself and achieve his goals, he still despised the behavior of these people.

The three of them became more and more embarrassed as they fought, but Yun Zixiao became more and more proficient, trying to kill them with every move. Unfortunately, the weapons in the hands of the three of them were not good enough, and if they swung them with a little more force, there was a risk of hitting the Liuyun Sword.

The more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen. Tian Nan saw Yun Zixiao coming with a sword, and he wanted to take another half step back, but his back hit the stone wall hard, not allowing him to retreat any further. Tian Nan had just been trying to retreat, and now it was too late to dodge, so he had to bite the bullet and use his sword to block, trying to use his strong internal strength to take Yun Zixiao's sword.

But the Liuyun Sword is the Liuyun Sword. How can an ordinary sword compete with the Liuyun Sword that can cut gold and jade and slash iron like mud? The two swords intersected, and there was not even a sound of metal clashing. The long sword in Tiannan's hand broke into two pieces, and the sword tip fell to the ground with a light sound. Yun Zixiao looked at Tiannan with a cold look and a hint of madness. Then he swung the Liuyun Sword again, about to cut off Tiannan's head. Tianjie and Tianmie wanted to rescue him, but they were on both sides of the tower, too far away from Tiannan, and there was no time to protect him. The killers believed that Tiannan would die, and they all sighed in their hearts, but still no one dared to step forward.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps on the first floor stairs. The footsteps were originally very light, but they suddenly appeared in such a dangerous situation, which still attracted everyone's attention. Yun Zixiao's sword stabbed in the air, and did not kill Tiannan directly, but turned quickly, and the sword pointed directly at the source of the sound.

In the blink of an eye, the owner of the footsteps appeared at the stairs, appearing very abruptly. Under the dim moonlight, a girl dressed in black and wearing a black veil came over. Her long black hair was simply tied up, and the tight nightgown perfectly outlined her graceful figure. The small, sharp dagger on her waist undoubtedly added a fatal temptation to her beauty and mystery.

Her steps seemed slow, but she arrived at Tiansha's body in an instant. Even Yun Zixiao, who was an excellent martial artist, could not fully see her ghostly movements. She slowly squatted down and held Tiansha's body in her arms. Her slender, pale fingers gently stroked Tiansha's broad chest, and her eyes were as cold as black ice that had not melted for thousands of years.

Yun Zixiao was resourceful and good at seeing through people's hearts, but at this moment he was completely confused. If the girl and Tiansha were not lovers, why did she hug Tiansha's body? If they were lovers, why was there no pain, resentment, or sadness in the girl's eyes, but instead a strong indifference? He really couldn't understand the girl's actions. He didn't dare to put down his sword, always on guard against the girl's sudden attack.

After a long time, the girl suddenly threw Tiansha's body to the ground, and in an instant, she pulled out a dagger and cut off Tiansha's head with extreme familiarity. Her actions were not only so abnormal that Yun Zixiao was dumbfounded, but also so clean and neat that it was outrageous.

"Who killed Tiansha? Stand out!" The girl stood up slowly, her arrogant eyes were bloodshot. Her voice was not only icy cold, making people feel as if they were falling into an ice cave, but also contained a hint of sarcasm, as if even a master who could kill Tiansha was nothing more than an ant in her eyes.

Many people in the martial arts world have heard the saying that there are thirty-six immortals in Lihentian, but none of them know whether the number is real or imaginary. If it is a real number, who are the thirty-six immortals? If it is an imaginary number, why did they choose the number thirty-six? The assassins in Lihentian naturally know more about the thirty-six immortals than others. To be more precise, they really know the thirty-five people below Jia Guixi. Only a rarely seen and unfathomable girl is a mystery that they can never fully understand.

Yun Zixiao pointed his sword at the girl and asked, "Who are you?"

The girl seemed to have not noticed the sharp sword in Yun Zixiao's hand at all. She actually walked over with a sneer on her face. Her expression was so cold that it made people shudder. "You don't even know who I am, and you dare to come to Lihentian to cause trouble. Do you think your head is too handsome and want me to cut it off as a souvenir?" (End of this chapter)
