Boom—
There were approximately six extremely fast-moving inner power true qi that made contact with Ye Xiao, who was adorning a true qi gauze!
Ye Xiao was no fool; on the contrary, he was incredibly smart. Therefore, the moment those six streams of true qi made contact with his own Nine Yang True Qi, Ye Xiao instantly generated wind beneath his feet. His body, like a wraith, interweaved through the six streams of true qi. Although there were contacts made, they mostly just brushed past each other!
With a push off the ground, 'whoosh,' Ye Xiao leapt up, taking him ten to twenty meters high before plummeting down swiftly. During this descent, Ye Xiao finally caught sight of the six people ambushing him—men and women of varied appearances, each with a bloodthirsty ferocity in their eyes.
They were professional assassins!
Ye Xiao was slightly surprised. Who were these people? Could it really be the Zhang family? Had they found these assassins so quickly?
In just a brief contact with them, Ye Xiao had already felt that the inner power true qi of these six individuals held the strength of the Yellow Rank Peak.
Of course, their strength was absolutely no match for Ye Xiao's, but he dared not be careless. Their strange attire was worrisome—who knew what tricks they might pull?
Upon landing, the six people all sneered and looked towards Ye Xiao.
"Six of you, may I ask from which group you hail? What brings you to trouble me today?" Ye Xiao's face returned once more to its usual calm smile.
"Oh, look at that! Isn't this young man handsome? Totally my type," a woman, mainly dressed in orange, teased Ye Xiao and laughed heartily upon seeing him.
Then, a man in yellow, broad and rugged-looking, laughed heartily and said to the orange-clad woman, "Sister Yun, how do you want to play? I'll help you!"
"Ah Tian, you must be tired of living, daring to joke with Sister Yun like this!" said a man dressed in green, his face stern, as he looked towards the so-called Ah Tian.
Ye Xiao listened to their banter, feeling somewhat overwhelmed. What was going on? A group of Yellow Rank Peak martial artists, treating him, a Xuan Rank expert, with such disregard? Could they not see his true qi gauze? Or did they really not recognize it?
At that moment, Sister Yun turned to Ye Xiao and said, "Enough with the chatter, let me ask this young man!"
"You're Ye Xiao, right?"
Upon hearing Sister Yun's inquiry, Ye Xiao glanced at her and said, "Yes, the ones who captured my friends, was it you?"
"Captured your friends? Hehe, sorry, our Seven-colored Lamp doesn't stoop to such lowly actions. We're here because someone offered a price for your life, so, you know, hehe, but if you would surrender to me, I, Ah Yun, would risk the world's condemnation to let you live a little longer." Sister Yun laughed heartily. Honestly, when Sister Yun laughed, it was indeed a sight to behold.
Ye Xiao heard a name from Sister Yun: Seven-colored Lamp!
He was familiar with the name!
Yan Country is vast and abundant, and consequently, within its Martial Arts World, there are many strange occurrences. The Seven-colored Lamp was one of them, a famous assassin group in Yan Country. They comprised seven members, and since their debut, they had killed no fewer than ten Xuan Rank experts and countless Yellow Rank ones. Yet, their individual combat ability was not strong at all, as Ye Xiao had just observed; their strength was merely at the Yellow Rank Peak.
Strangely though, the Seven-colored Lamp organization was capable of hunting Xuan Rank experts with just the strength of Yellow Rank Peak. No one had truly confronted the Seven-colored Lamp because those who did had all perished.
"So you are the Seven-colored Lamp!" Ye Xiao looked around at the six people and chuckled softly, "No wonder you underestimate even me. However, it seems there is one member short in your group!"
"Are you not just a Xuan Rank martial artist?" Ah Tian laughed and then looked at Ye Xiao, saying, "To deal with you, our Six-colored Hidden Tiger Formation is more than enough!"
Ye Xiao had heard many legends about the Seven-colored Lamp and thus was not complacent at all. He believed that if they could indeed hunt Xuan Rank martial artists, the Seven-colored Lamp must have exceptional skills!
"So, are you not going to make a move?" Ye Xiao smiled softly. Not having truly fought yet, Ye Xiao was not prepared to admit defeat. Besides, in his view, was losing certain?
Sister Yun chuckled and remarked, "No wonder big sister said Ye Xiao was quite remarkable, I think you're pretty confident! I'm starting to admire big sister's insight more and more!"
Big sister?
Ye Xiao listened to Sister Yun's words and immediately began to doubt in secret. Now that the Seven-colored Lamp was short one person, could it be their eldest sister? Was the leader of the Seven-colored Lamp actually a woman? Ye Xiao found it hard to believe.
"Sister Yun, have you finished expressing your admiration? Should we give it a try now?" At this moment, a girl covered in purple and seemingly the youngest, probably only eighteen or nineteen years old, looked toward Sister Yun and spoke!
With the eldest sister absent, Sister Yun was the soul of the Seven-colored Lamp, so when she heard Yaner's words, her crimson lips slightly parted and she said, "Act!"
'Swish!' 'Swish!' 'Swish!'
Six people, six colors, they rushed toward Ye Xiao in the center with a speed akin to six lamps.
Ye Xiao dared not be careless, although he was only facing the Six-Colored Lamp of the Seven-colored Lamp, he did not take any chances and kept changing his position, careful not to make real contact with the Six-Colored Lamp!
Boom—
Bursts of explosive sounds rang beside Ye Xiao's ears!
In the blink of an eye, the six people stood about three meters above the ground, their positions resembling that of a six-star formation.
Could it be an array?
Seeing the six people stop moving, Ye Xiao was immediately surprised, because at that moment, their six streams of Inner Power True Qi began to rapidly merge in a circular pattern. Standing in the middle, Ye Xiao suddenly saw his surroundings darken. More importantly, he felt his legs become as heavy as if they were filled with lead!
Although he could still lift them, it was incredibly strenuous!
"Is this really an array?" Ye Xiao furrowed his brows. At this moment, his Nine Yang True Qi was also rapidly gathering, ready for battle.
Ye Xiao's words were obviously heard by Sister Yun and the others. Sister Yun looked toward Ye Xiao and burst out laughing, saying, "Ye Xiao, you really have some insight. Yes, it is an array. Today, we'll use our newly created Six-Colored Hidden Tiger Formation to properly deal with you!"
Six-Colored Hidden Tiger Formation?
Ye Xiao had never even heard of it, but at this moment, he was not thinking about how to study the Six-Colored Hidden Tiger Formation. What he wanted to do was simple: break the formation!
Ye Xiao had already gathered quite strong Nine Yang True Qi. He suddenly exerted force on his feet and leapt upward, charging straight at where Ah Tian was.
Ye Xiao's strike could almost be considered with his full strength. A Yellow Rank Peak Martial Artist facing Ye Xiao's full-powered strike could only do one thing: die!
However, what Ye Xiao did not expect was that after his punch was thrown, Ah Tian did not suffer any damage at all. Instead, when the fist was about ten centimeters away from Ah Tian, Ye Xiao found he could not reach him anymore. It was as if he was now trapped in an invisible barrier, an immensely solid barrier. He had become a tiger trapped in a cage!
After being attacked, Ah Tian was not upset. On the contrary, he burst out laughing!
"Ha, hit me, come on out if you have the guts, ha-ha! Wait until I strike you!" After saying this, Ah Tian pointed his finger at Ye Xiao. A powerful yellow Inner Power True Qi, like a fireball, smashed toward Ye Xiao!
The fireball's speed was extremely fast—no, not quite. Ye Xiao realized that the speed at which the fireball rushed toward him depended on his dodging speed. If he dodged quickly, the fireball's speed was also fast. If his dodging was slow, then the fireball's speed also significantly slowed!
The True Qi Fireball hit Ye Xiao directly. Naturally, Ye Xiao resisted with all his might. Despite having the protection of the True Qi Gauze and his Nine Yang Divine Skill, Ye Xiao was still struck by the True Qi Fireball!
Ye Xiao was knocked down by the impact of the True Qi Fireball.
Ye Xiao rolled on the ground in disarray, astonished by the power of the True Qi Fireball. How could it be so powerful? It far surpassed the strength of a Yellow Rank Martial Artist!
Moreover, at that moment, Ye Xiao suddenly discovered something very surprising: after rolling on the ground, his body became even heavier, and furthermore, the Nine Yang True Qi inside his body seemed to be flowing out!
Yes, flowing out. But how could such a situation occur? Ye Xiao possessed the Nine Yang Divine Skill, which normally would quickly recover, and there had never been a case of Nine Yang True Qi leaking from his body!
How had this happened? Just then, Ah Tian pointed his finger at Ye Xiao again and sent another True Qi Fireball flying toward him.
