Chapter 30: Abandoning Perception, Eye of the Heart!
Outside.
Dark clouds shroud the city.
Enveloping each heart.
Only the general smiles and says, "Now, that Ye Qiubai should be dead, right?"
On the side of the Cangdao Academy.
The elder of the Sword Hall's eyes narrowed, immediately shouting, "What have you done?!"
The gaze of the elder of the Confucian Academy also shifted from the book in his hand to the general, his eyes extremely cold!
The general, however, paid no attention, completely disregarding the suppression of the two peak experts in the Water Overflowing Realm. His own cultivation also burst forth, resisting this momentum.
He shrugged and smiled, "Our purpose in coming this time is Ye Qiubai. Otherwise, why would the Sunset Dynasty send people to this barbaric land just for a mere Blood Purgatory Secret Realm?"
Previously.
They were also wondering why the Sunset Dynasty would send people over.
After all, there are many trial grounds like the Blood Purgatory Secret Realm in the Northern Region.
There's no need to come to the Southern Region specifically!
Now, the truth is revealed.
The Sunset Dynasty's purpose is Ye Qiubai!
The sword intent surrounded the elder of the Sword Hall, his eyes filled with killing intent, a sword already in his hand!
"If anything happens to Ye Qiubai, my Cangdao Academy will not let you off," the elder of the Confucian Academy said calmly, but this time, he didn't stop the words of the elder of the Sword Hall.
After all, this was also his thought!
The general sneered, "The path of martial arts is filled with life and death. If Ye Qiubai is not as skilled, who can he blame for falling midway in martial arts?"
"Moreover... does your Cangdao Academy dare to go to war with our Sunset Dynasty? I'm afraid even your headquarters wouldn't agree, right?"
The heritage of the Cangdao Academy is spread throughout the Four Realms, naturally with a headquarters.
And the purpose of the Cangdao Academy is to spread knowledge throughout the world, so naturally, it wouldn't agree to go to war with other forces.
The general continued to taunt, "If it were your headquarters, perhaps my Sunset Dynasty would still be somewhat wary, but just relying on you?"
The general didn't say any more behind his words, but everyone understood what he meant.
The elder of the Sword Hall was furious, stepping forward, but was stopped by the elder of the Confucian Academy.
"Don't act rashly, let's observe the situation first."
At these words, the elder of the Sword Hall stopped.
In his opinion, Ye Qiubai's talent in swordsmanship is extremely important to the Cangdao Academy.
If he doesn't fall midway, then Ye Qiubai will become a famous swordsman in the Four Realms!
This is also the reason why the elder of the Sword Hall is so angry.
"I hope Ye Qiubai can survive this crisis..."
...
At the same time.
Inside the Blood Purgatory Secret Realm.
Ye Qiubai is racing through the blood-red wasteland.
In one hand, he holds a pill, absorbing its medicinal power to continuously restore his spiritual energy.
This pill was given by Lu Changsheng.
Its effect is outstanding.
In just a short while, half of the spiritual energy depletion caused by the continuous use of the fourth sword of the Heavenly Demon Nine Swords has been restored!
With Ye Qiubai's current strength.
Although he can use the fourth sword.
But continuous use still weakens him!
This is also why Ye Qiubai chose to retreat first.
Ye Qiubai glanced back.
Behind him, those three figures in black are still biting onto him, refusing to let go!
Behind the figures in black are four armored men, and at the very back is Qiu Libei!
He wants to witness Ye Qiubai's death!
Only then will he be reassured.
"No, he's restoring his spiritual energy."
Suddenly, one of the figures in black reminded, "We should act now."
"What kind of pill can restore spiritual energy while fleeing, and even restore it so quickly?"
"Don't waste time talking, burn your blood essence. Otherwise, things might change by the time he recovers!"
When these words were spoken, the other two remained calm, not opposing.
As if this was as common as could be!
This is also why the Shadow Killers are called madmen by people.
For the mission, they spare no means!
Even if it means dying together, or burning their blood essence!
Even sacrificing teammates...
As long as they can kill their target!
They'll stop at nothing!
With that said, a crimson aura began to emanate from the three figures!
Their essence and blood began to burn.
Their aura skyrocketed in an instant!
Suddenly, their speed surged, shooting towards Ye Qiubai!
Seeing this, Ye Qiubai couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
They're willing to burn their essence and blood to kill him.
Their determination is evident.
Ye Qiubai also stopped his movement. The pill he had already absorbed completely, restoring his strength to its peak once again!
The three men in black surrounded Ye Qiubai.
Forming a triangular formation!
Of course, they also felt Ye Qiubai's strength restored once again.
But as assassins, they wouldn't say anything meaningless.
What's the use of restored strength?
Ye Qiubai is still their target.
Talking too much is a mistake.
Saying too much is a mistake.
This is the assassin's code.
They won't make such minor mistakes that would lead to the failure of their mission!
Immediately.
The three simultaneously cast an ancient seal, and a killing array instantly surrounded Ye Qiubai!
Within this killing array, mist began to spread, shrouding Ye Qiubai inside!
The array formed.
The figures of the three men also disappeared from Ye Qiubai's sight.
Disappearance not only of the three figures.
The scenery around, the surrounding aura.
All disappeared!
The four armored men and Qiu Libei also arrived here.
Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but smile, "The Fog Concealment Array of the Shadow Killers. This array is cast at the cost of burning their essence and blood. Ye Qiubai has absolutely no chance of escaping now."
"In this Fog Concealment Array, Ye Qiubai's perception is completely severed. He probably doesn't even know how he will die."
Obviously, the four of them are extremely wary of this Fog Concealment Array.
And at this moment, within the killing array, Ye Qiubai frowned slightly.
He couldn't sense the whereabouts of the three men.
But he knew they must be hidden within this mist!
This is much stronger than the illusion array during the previous Academy Competition...
Suddenly, a dark shadow attacked from behind Ye Qiubai!
Ye Qiubai's face changed, rolling to evade this fatal blow.
But there was still a gash on his shoulder!
The wound was deep enough to see the bone!
If Ye Qiubai hadn't reacted in time, he might have perished on the spot.
The hidden figure in black also looked surprised.
He didn't expect his fatal blow to be avoided.
Ye Qiubai's face was solemn as he looked around. There were no flaws in the formation!
Everywhere he looked, there was only mist!
Since his eyes couldn't be used...
Ye Qiubai closed his eyes and stood in the mist.
Abandoning vision!
Abandoning perception!
Abandoning all senses!
Using the heart to feel.
Using the heart to see.
Seeing through all things in the world with the heart!
"Playing tricks!"
Before the words fell, a dagger pierced towards Ye Qiubai's heart!
Ye Qiubai still didn't open his eyes.
But the long sword in his hand swung towards the dagger!
Clang!
The sound of metal colliding rang out!
The dagger was directly knocked away and disappeared into the mist!
This is a special technique from the Tai Chu Sword Scripture!
The Eye of the Heart!
