Blood dripped from the corner of the Man in White's mouth, staining his pristine white robe and blooming into dazzling red plum blossoms.He clutched his chest, feeling the surging qi and blood, the chaotic spiritual energy, and the pain radiating from all over his body. His eyes were filled with disbelief and shock—after so many years, this was the first time he had encountered an ability that could reflect damage!"What kind of bloodline ability is this? To actually reflect an attack back onto oneself..." A storm raged in the Man in White's heart.He could clearly sense that a significant portion of the damage from that last blow had rebounded onto him through some strange force. He had no idea how much had rebounded.However, this unknown risk made him more apprehensive than a direct attack.He had initially thought that Qin Tian's reliance was merely on his powerful physique and recovery ability, but this sudden reflective damage completely disrupted his plans.The force of the backlash was like a parasitic bone, traveling along his spiritual energy meridians, making it difficult for him to even mobilize his spiritual energy.An unprecedented dread, like a vine, coiled around his heart. Every attack was equivalent to gambling on the intensity of the reflective damage; no matter how strong one's power, it could not withstand such unknown depletion.On the other side, the bodyguards, seeing the Man in White spitting blood, were first stunned, then their eyes erupted with light of wild joy.The Man in White, who had seemed like an invincible god, was actually injured!This was not just an injury; it was the dawn of their escape from this desperate situation!Dongfang Mingyue also let out a sigh of relief, her tense body relaxing slightly. But looking at Qin Tian's pale face and slightly trembling body, the emotion and heartache in her eyes grew stronger.The Man in White sensed the strange gazes around him, and a faint murderous aura finally appeared in his eyes.He suddenly raised his right hand, and dozens of azure sword qi instantly condensed around him.These sword qi no longer rushed towards Qin Tian, but like arrows released from a bowstring, they shot towards Dongfang Mingyue, their angles cunning, covering all possible evasion spaces!"Sister!" Min Bing roared, and the bodyguards were also terrified.Dongfang Mingyue's pupils contracted sharply. She subconsciously took a step back, her fingertips about to condense green wood spiritual energy, but a figure was faster than her—Qin Tian instantly blocked in front of her, his broad back like a mountain, shielding her from all danger.Even more shocking was that Qin Tian actually removed the spiritual energy shield on his body, even dimming the golden light shimmering on his skin, baring his chest directly towards the incoming sword qi!Seeing this, the Man in White's pupils contracted sharply, and an alarm blared in his heart.He knew too well the power of his sword qi. If it truly pierced Qin Tian's body, that strange reflective damage would undoubtedly rebound onto him again.But how much reflective damage would there be this time? Would it be stronger than last time, or weaker?He had no way of knowing.Buzz!The azure sword qi that was about to pierce Qin Tian's chest seemed to have its throat gripped by an invisible hand, suddenly freezing in mid-air. The sword blades trembled slightly, but could no longer advance an inch.Qin Tian looked at the Man in White's tense face, a faint smile playing on his lips: "What? Are you scared?"The Man in White stared intently at Qin Tian, yet he dared not let the sword qi advance another step.The azure sword qi suspended in mid-air trembled for a few seconds, then suddenly, like a deflated balloon, it turned into specks of green light and dissipated into the air.The Man in White's tense expression suddenly became calm, as if the life-and-death struggle just now had never happened. He looked at Qin Tian, his tone a little nonchalant: "I didn't expect Dongfang Mingyue to have such a troublesome fellow by her side. In that case, the money the employer gave isn't enough.""I need more money!"Before he finished speaking, a faint green light shimmered around him, and his figure, as if merging into the void, instantly vanished from the spot, leaving no trace of spiritual energy fluctuation.As he left, the Water Curtain Barrier surrounding them shattered like glass, turning into countless specks of light and dissipating. The cold wind and snowflakes from outside instantly poured in, dispelling the oppressive atmosphere within the barrier."He—he just left?" Qin Tian's pupils contracted slightly, his heart full of surprise and doubt—the Man in White was powerful; even with reflective damage, he {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} was more than capable of crushing him.Would he actually withdraw so easily because of "not enough money"?This assassin was a bit too unprofessional, wasn't he?Dongfang Mingyue and the bodyguards were also stunned, their faces filled with disbelief. They had just thought it was a certain death situation, but they never expected the situation to reverse in such an abrupt manner.And on the assassin's side, they were plunged into unprecedented panic.Without the Man in White's suppression, they had no chance of winning against Qin Tian and the bodyguards.Several men in black subconsciously wanted to retreat, but they were locked down by Qin Tian's icy gaze.Qin Tian no longer dwelled on the Man in White's departure, turning his gaze to the remaining three peak sixth-rank assassins, his killing intent growing stronger.He swayed, rushing towards the burly strongman like a phantom, the black frost blade in his hand gleaming with a cold light."Die!" The strongman roared, raising his rocky arm to block.But Qin Tian's speed far exceeded his reaction. A flash of blade light, and with a "crack," the strongman's rocky arm was directly severed, blood gushing out.Before the strongman could recover from the intense pain, Qin Tian delivered another blow, directly beheading him. The hot head rolled to the ground, still showing remnants of shock in its eyes.After dealing with the strongman, Qin Tian used spatial flash, instantly appearing behind the gaunt old man.The old man reacted extremely quickly, swiftly turning and thrusting a claw, but the next instant, Qin Tian appeared behind him like a ghost, stabbing a blade through his back, the blade emerging from his chest, bringing with it thick blood.The old man's body stiffened, and he slowly fell to the ground, lifeless.In just a few seconds, two peak sixth-rank assassins had met their demise by the blade!The bodyguards watched dumbfounded, their hearts filled with shock—the men in black who had suffered so much in front of the Man in White were now being dealt with as easily as slicing melons and dicing vegetables when facing peak sixth-rankers!The young man watched his companions being killed one after another, knowing that he was next. A hint of resentment and ruthlessness flashed in his blood-red pupils.Clang, clang, clang! Nie Yunxing was fighting an assassin when suddenly, his vision blurred for a moment, as if interfered with by an invisible force, and his movements instantly became sluggish.The man in black he was fighting seized the opportunity and punched him in the chest.Nie Yunxing grunted, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, landing right beside Dongfang Mingyue, spitting out a large mouthful of blood."Brother Nie!" Dongfang Mingyue exclaimed, immediately placing her hand on his shoulder. Pale green wood spiritual energy surged into his body, rapidly repairing his damaged meridians and internal organs.Nie Yunxing slowly stood up, his face pale, but he cupped his hands towards Dongfang Mingyue, his voice carrying a hint of gratitude: "Thank you, Miss Mingyue."After speaking, he stepped forward, intending to return to the battlefield. But just as everyone thought he would continue fighting, Nie Yunxing suddenly drew another short blade hidden beneath his clothes from his waist. He fiercely flipped his wrist, and without Dongfang Mingyue or anyone else expecting it, the short blade savagely plunged into Dongfang Mingyue's lower abdomen!"Pfft!"Blood instantly stained Dongfang Mingyue's skirt. She looked at Nie Yunxing in disbelief, her eyes filled with shock and confusion: "Nie—Brother Nie, you—"This scene exploded like a thunderclap. Qin Tian, the bodyguards, and even the remaining assassins were stunned.And not far away, the young man's head that Qin Tian had severed actually flashed a sinister smile in its eyes, as if this scene had been anticipated long ago.
