"Who?"

The Blood Rain Tower assassin, engaged in conversation, was suddenly startled and immediately looked forward.

It was then that they saw.

In front of the courtyard, at some unknown time, three figures had appeared.

The faces of these three figures were very young, with a hint of youthful innocence. Especially the one at the forefront, whose aura was vibrant, with a palpable murderous intent emanating from him, chilling everyone to the bone.

"Ye Qingchen!"

Xue Lei's pupils contracted, and he immediately recognized the person.

"It's actually him!"

"Haha, this kid actually dares to walk right into our trap!"

The numerous assassins of the Blood Rain Tower were initially shocked but then collectively expressed joy.

They knew.

Due to the mission, they couldn't pursue Ye Qingchen and could only search for the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures within the Guangling Secret Realm.

Now, the target had delivered himself to them.

"Capture him!"

"The Tower Master said that whoever can kill Ye Qingchen will receive a million gold!"

Swish! Swish! Swish!

These Blood Rain Tower assassins, without a moment's hesitation, drew their weapons, immediately channeling their True Qi to unleash their most powerful martial techniques, charging directly at Ye Qingchen!

Though the Gold Medal Assassin had already been dispatched, it didn't mean they wouldn't act against Ye Qingchen when they encountered him!

In their eyes, Ye Qingchen was a pile of moving gold.

"A million gold, what a grand gesture!"

Facing the assassins rushing towards him, Ye Qingchen laughed angrily.

He hadn't expected that, even after the previous lesson, the Blood Rain Tower would still refuse to give up on dealing with him. They even wanted to implicate Ye Qing, which was simply unforgivable!

"Die!"

A cold, commanding shout.

In an instant.

Terrorizing Sword Intent swept through the area, stirring up a violent wind within a radius of dozens of meters. This gust of wind, following the sword's course, transformed into an unstoppable blade, rushing directly at the group of assassins!

"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"

Where the sword edge passed, nothing could withstand.

The sound of shattering resounded.

The weapons of the numerous assassins broke on the spot. At the same time, heads flew into the air. The eyes on the severed heads were wide open, filled with disbelief.

As if they couldn't believe they were killed by Ye Qingchen with a single sword stroke.

"This...!"

Looking at the ground littered with corpses, Xue Lei's expression also changed drastically.

Escape!

Without a moment's hesitation, he turned and rushed towards the exit of the valley with all his speed.

Of course, he had to flee.

Since witnessing Ye Qingchen's sword strike, his previous bravado had vanished into thin air, leaving him with no desire to kill Ye Qingchen for the reward.

"Escape the valley first, then contact the Gold Medal Assassin... no matter how strong that kid is, he's no match for that person!"

Seeing the valley entrance growing nearer, Xue Lei's face lit up with joy.

In his view.

As long as he escaped the valley, he could make it to safety.

However.

At that moment, a weightless voice suddenly descended from above:

"Do you think you can still escape?"

Boom!

This voice, for Xue Lei, used to living on the edge, felt like an unprecedented crisis of death was sweeping over him like a tidal wave. This sensation made the hair on his body stand on end!

"Get lost!"

Without hesitation, Xue Lei roared out his sword.

Shing!

This sword carried all his True Qi and lifelong cultivation. Every ounce of power was concentrated into one point, even piercing the air, leaving a void trail!

Yet, right then.

Ye Qingchen extended his long sword, pointing downward, directly meeting Xue Lei's sword edge!

"Ding!"

The two swords clashed.

Xue Lei felt an overwhelming force from the opponent's sword, like a tidal wave, engulfing him instantly.

"Crack!"

Almost at the same time.

Xue Lei's sword broke in response.

The dreadful force continued unabated, crashing heavily into Xue Lei.

"Pfft!"

Spitting out a mist of blood, Xue Lei's body was flung backward, crashing to the ground with such force that the earth sank beneath him. Meanwhile, Ye Qingchen executed a graceful flip and landed elegantly from mid-air.

"What do you plan to do?" Xue Lei coughed out blood, his eyes filled with terror.

"Obviously, kill you!" Ye Qingchen's eyes flashed coldly.

"You dare kill me? I'm the son of the Third Floor Master of the Blood Rain Tower; if you kill me, Blood Rain Tower will never let you go!" Xue Lei stared intently at Ye Qingchen.

Hmm?

Ye Qingchen's eyes flickered.

He hadn't expected Xue Lei to have such an identity within the Blood Rain Tower.

"Haha, are you scared?" Seeing Ye Qingchen remain silent, Xue Lei laughed arrogantly, "My identity is not something you can provoke! If you kneel now, I might pretend this never happened!"

Though he spoke thus, his eyes gleamed coldly.

He vowed internally.

Once he survived this ordeal, he would contact the Gold Medal Assassin and ensure the opponent was utterly destroyed, along with all their friends and family!

The hatred of today must be repaid in blood!

However.

Just as this thought arose, Ye Qingchen suddenly let out a chuckle.

"Why are you laughing?"

A bad feeling surged in Xue Lei's heart.

"I'm laughing at your foolishness!" Ye Qingchen shook his head.

"What did you say?"

Incensed by Ye Qingchen's words, Xue Lei was furious.

However, before he could utter another word, Ye Qingchen stomped down, shattering his skull.

"Absolutely foolish, to the point of death, still trying tricks... did you think that saying so would make me spare you?" Looking at Xue Lei's corpse, "What about the Blood Rain Tower? Our account isn't settled yet!"

Against enemies, Ye Qingchen showed zero mercy.

The opponent was already trying to kill him; how could he possibly hold back?

"Ye Qingchen, are you okay?"

"Did you kill him?"

Just then, voices came from behind.

Ye Qingchen turned around to see Hong Man and Jiang Churan hurriedly approaching.

Jiang Churan's face was etched with worry, "This place isn't safe long; we should leave the valley quickly!"

"Indeed!" Hong Man chimed in, his voice deep: "From Xue Lei's words, it seems many assassins have infiltrated; we're in the open, they're in the dark... best to leave as soon as possible!"

"Wait a moment!"

Ye Qingchen suddenly thought of something and stopped abruptly, returning to Xue Lei's body to search, finding a sheepskin scroll.

Upon opening it, it was a map of the Guangling Secret Realm!

The map was densely marked.

"This is a Treasure Map!"

Seeing the map, the three of them trembled, and Ye Qingchen's eyes gleamed with excitement!
