Shadow Assassin Yang Xuyan!
Fu Junyu was shocked. Although she had not been in the Central Plains for long, she had long heard of this famous name.
Before Dugu Ce's sudden rise, the two most famous young masters in Jianghu were the Sentimental Young Master Hou Xibai and the Shadow Assassin Yang Xuyan.
Although Hou Xibai's martial arts skills were high, his reputation was good. He was good at painting and was a painter. He often went to the residences of the rich and powerful. He had a wide network and was very popular. He never killed indiscriminately, only hated flower thieves and killed them.
As for Yang Xuyan, he made everyone's expression change.
As an assassin, he had no principles and only cared about his mission. In order to complete the mission, he would do anything. Even if he had to assassinate a target whose martial arts was much lower than his, he would still ambush them. He would never do it openly and had no dignity as a martial arts master. Speaking of which, Dugu Ce felt that if an assassin were to do it openly, he would really be called a retard.
In Dugu Ce's opinion, a real killer should be like Yang Xuyan. No matter who the target was or how good his kung fu was, he would do whatever it took to assassinate them. This was the role of a killer and a serious and responsible service attitude towards his clients.
Even if Dugu Ce wanted to kill someone, he would only hire a professional assassin like Yang Xuyan. He would never spend money to hire a brainless assassin.
But today, Yang Xuyan seemed to have taken the wrong medicine? He actually changed his past assassination principles and started talking nonsense.
"As expected of Dugu Ce, who has become famous in the martial world recently. He can actually easily guess my identity. Yes, I am Yang Xuyan, and I came here today to take your life.”
Dugu Ce had been living in Xingyang recently, enjoying himself. He was not in Jianghu, but there were legends about him everywhere.
After a period of time, the news of him defeating Du Fuwei, killing Yuwen Cheng, and killing Ba Fenghan at Wang Tong's birthday banquet had spread throughout the martial world, making him famous and shocking.
Let's see who's the stepping stone for him to become famous!
Du Fuwei, the general manager of the Jianghuai Army, a hero who dominated a chaotic world.
Yuwen Cheng, Yuwen Clan's grandmaster level expert, only below Yuwen Huaji.
Ba Fenghan was a Turkic expert, but his reputation in the Central Plains wasn't very great. However, this person had once killed the eldest disciple of Revered Martial Artist Bi Xuan on the grassland, causing him to send his second and third disciples, Tuoba Yu and Chun Yuwei, to lead the 18 Northern Fortress Cavalry, who were personally trained by Revered Martial Artist Bi Xuan, to hunt him down on the grassland.
In the beginning, the martial artists of the Central Plains did not know that Ba Fenghan was so sharp. It wasn't until recently that Tuoba Yu and the others entered the Central Plains to track Ba Fenghan down. Ba Fenghan's glorious battle achievements on the grasslands spread in the Central Plains.
And that Ba Fenghan, who had shown off his abilities and provoked the disciples of Revered Martial Artist Bi Xuan to come out and hunt him down all over the world, was actually killed by Dugu Ce's sword, which further highlighted Dugu Ce's strength.
Based on these achievements, Dugu Ce's reputation in the martial world had surpassed Hou Xibai and Yang Xuyan, the two young masters.
Everyone regarded him as a grandmaster-level expert and regarded him as a strong competitor for the future grandmaster. They no longer placed him on the same level as the young experts.
There were even rumors that after Heavenly Blade Song Que heard of Dugu Ce's reputation, he had already carved his name in the Knife Sharpening Hall, viewing him as a worthy opponent.
Of course, if Song Que knew that Dugu Ce viewed his daughter as his prey, he would probably bring the Heavenly Blade down the mountain and fight Dugu Ce.
At this moment, Dugu Ce, who was famous in Jianghu, stood on the city tower. He held a bronze wine goblet in his hand, and his wide sleeves fluttered in the wind. He did not have the aura of a Jianghu person. Instead, he looked like an immortal who had descended to the mortal world. He was indescribably handsome.
However, this noble young master who looked like a banished immortal spoke with an evil aura."Yang Xuyan, who gave you the courage to assassinate me? There was a path to heaven, but you didn't take it. There was no door to hell, but you barged in. You're courting death, do you know that?”
Legend had it that Yang Xuyan was Yang Guang's personal killer. Given the relationship between the Dugu Family and the royal family, if Yang Xuyan was really Yang Guang's man, Yang Guang would never send him to kill Dugu Ce.
Dugu Ce knew the truth.
On the surface, Yang Xuyan was Yang Guang's man, but in reality, he was the disciple of Evil King Shi Zhixuan. He was also a chess piece manipulated and used by Shi Zhixuan. He was even instructed by Shi Zhixuan to secretly stab the famous general of the Sui Dynasty, Zhang Xutuo, causing him to be killed by Li Mi.
If it was really Yang Guang's men, why would Yang Xuyan assassinate the pillar of the Sui Dynasty?
If they really wanted to argue, Yang Xuyan and Yang Guang had a deep hatred for each other. Because he was the son of Yang Yong, the former crown prince of the Great Sui Dynasty. That Yang Yong was originally Yang Guang's elder brother. Later, he was defeated by Yang Guang and his position as the heir was abolished. His entire family died tragically, leaving only Yang Xuyan as an orphan.
Yang Xuyan hated his uncle, Yang Guang, deeply. How could he be used by Yang Guang?
Therefore, even though Dugu Ce didn't know Yang Xuyan's real reason for assassinating him, he wasn't surprised at all.
What he found strange was why Yang Xuyan had changed his assassination principles and started spouting nonsense.
Not only did Yang Xuyan talk nonsense, he even showed himself.
A black shadow flashed from the side of the city gate tower. A man in black with a slender sword in his hand and a slim waist appeared thirty feet away from Dugu Ce and Fu Junyu like a phantom.
"Dugu Ce, your arrogance is truly boundless! Was it the two defeats against Du Fuwei that made you so confident? Or did you kill Yuwen Cheng and Ba Fenghan, those two minor characters, to make you feel invincible and treat all the heroes in the world as nothing? Do you know why I want to kill you? Because I don't like you.
"I can smell the demonic aura on your body from a hundred feet away. We're both evil spirits, and our backgrounds are similar. Why can you be famous all over the world and have women on your left and right? And I, Yang Xuyan, can only live in the darkness? Dugu Ce, to be honest, I'm very jealous of you.”
The famous shadow assassin spoke bluntly about his jealousy of Dugu Ce.
Dugu Ce also gave a straightforward answer,""Because I'm stronger than you and more handsome than you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Ce reached out with his right hand, and the long sword in Fu Junyu's hand flew into his palm.
"Come, come, let me try your Phantom Sword Technique. If you play it well, I can consider sparing your life.”
