They decided to hire assassins, the clean and efficient kind. Nangong Xiaoxiang had already become so powerful, so she naturally couldn't hire an ordinary killer. They invited a martial artist who did not dare to rush to the fifth tribulation and had been stuck at the fourth rank of the four symbols.
Because no matter how hard it was to improve, and they had a lot of skills, such people would mostly end up as killers or bodyguards who sold martial arts. Assassins naturally came for money faster, but also to vent their anger. The world's Four Symbols martial artists were really one less person.
Such people were often sick and merciless.
That day, Dongfang Liuyun happened to be visiting Nangong Xiaoxiang. They found a quiet place to chat.
"You lost the championship this time, and I saw your elder pull a long face in front of everyone. You didn't receive any cold treatment at home, right?”Nangong Xiaoxiang knew the morals of the four great families the best. They always judged heroes by their success or failure. He asked Dongfang Liuyun.
"Of course, there was some cold reception, but my father still has some status in the family, so they didn't dare to make things difficult for me. Besides, if they lost this time, there would still be another one. Good things take time." Dongfang Liuyun said.
"That's good. I'm just afraid that you'll be punished for this matter. And I also want to thank you for giving in. However, if I wasn't injured, I definitely wouldn't lose to you. When I recover, we must fight fair and square.”
"I naturally know your ability. I admit that my skills are inferior to yours, so there's no need to fight anymore. To avoid hurting each other's harmony. " After all, I respect you like a god, and I hope that one day, you'll take a liking to me…" It was a little embarrassing to say that Dongfang Liuyun was only interested in Nangong Xiaoxiang at first. After a fight, he was shocked by her aura and actually fell in love with her.
"What do you mean? Don't think that I'll marry you just because you've helped me in many ways. I'm not an ordinary woman. Moreover, I have no interest in you at all.”Nangong Xiaoxiang's attitude was still cold.
Dongfang Liuyun suddenly pulled Nangong Xiaoxiang into her arms and pressed her against the wall.
Such a rude action immediately aroused Nangong Xiaoxiang's dissatisfaction. "You're too impudent!"
Just as she was about to flare up, Dongfang Liuyun put her index finger to her mouth and said,""Shh, there's someone!" Then, he pulled out two silver needles from the wall beside her ear.
"Not bad, you can still maintain such vigilance when you're in love.”The killer fell from the roof. Since the sneak attack had failed, he would face it head-on. The other party was just two Four Symbols First Order newbies.
"Four Symbols Fourth Order!" Nangong Xiaoxiang and Dongfang Liuyun exclaimed almost at the same time." What do you want?”
"Someone is offering money to buy your lives. The price is very high, and I can't refuse.”the killer said.
"Are they the ones from the second branch?”Nangong Xiaoxiang had long guessed that they had such thoughts.
"We can't reveal the name of the employer. This is our professional ethics. So what if you know? You're about to die!”
"Xiao Xiang, the opponent is too strong. We need to work together to deal with him.”Dongfang Liuyun said.
"Bah, just those few silver needles. You could have grabbed it, why did you do that?”
"Because I like you. I can't help but want to hold your waist. " It's just a gentle grip. It's soft…" Dongfang Liuyun looked dazed as she reminisced.
Nangong Xiaoxiang didn't want to cooperate with this frivolous person, but in the current situation, there seemed to be no other way to survive.
"You're still lovey-dovey when you're about to die. I'll let you be a pair of romantic wild mandarin ducks!”The killer was obviously not very intelligent. He actually thought that the two of them were a couple who had an affair.
Nangong Xiaoxiang was furious and released her Celestial Chi. After a few days of recuperation, Nangong Xiaoxiang's power had almost recovered.
"Yo, not bad. With the realm of Four Symbols First Order, he was considered outstanding!”The killer also expressed his affirmation.
But when he released his Celestial Chi, Nangong Xiaoxiang knew that she was no match for him. Because that person's Profound Qi could actually materialize into a ghost behind his back!
Nangong Xiaoxiang had heard that warriors of higher realms could materialize their mystic qi. The method used was not complicated, but it was very difficult to maintain a Celestial Chi entity that could move alone. Moreover, he seemed to have seen that ghost in a book before.
"It's Di Tiling, a primate ape that lives deep in the mountains. It was a spirit beast whose intelligence was second only to humans, so it could also cultivate mystic qi and refine pills. If a warrior killed it and absorbed its Profound Qi. He could gather it into a mystic qi spirit and use it for himself.”Dongfang Liuyun said.
"Good kid, you have some knowledge! Then do you know how to deal with it?" This killer was quite funny. He actually started to show off.
"There aren't many martial artists who use this method, so there's no effective way to deal with it at the moment.”Dongfang Liuyun spoke frankly.
"Hahaha, even among the experts of the current era, there aren't many who can see my mystic qi spirit!”The killer's pride was indescribable.
"Since you're so powerful, why don't you go through the fifth tribulation?”Nangong Xiaoxiang asked him.
Nangong Xiaoxiang's question had obviously hit the killer's sore spot. He was slightly stunned. It wasn't that he didn't go, but that he was defeated at the first stage and didn't dare to go again.
"It's because this move of yours also has a weakness. The instability of the mystic qi spirit makes it impossible for you to pass the fifth tribulation. Then you became an assassin, a profession with no future and no light. Moreover, you only kill Xuan Qi practitioners because you hate those who can still continue to cultivate. For thou hast stopped, and hast lost all will. Even your previous cultivation has been abandoned. You're only making a living with the title of Four Symbols Fourth Order now. And your so-called Profound Qi Spirit is just a facade!”Nangong Xiaoxiang was actually playing psychological warfare loudly.
In fact, she had already arranged for spies in the second branch to know their movements. The killer they hired this time was very famous. After some investigation, Nangong Xiaoxiang found that he was just like what she said. He could only scare some juniors.
Nangong Xiaoxiang had completely angered him, or rather, he was furious.
"It's just a facade. I'll let you see if it's just a facade!”The killer pointed at the ape, and the ape suddenly raised a big stick. It slashed fiercely.
It was as if every monkey had a big stick. They could be big or small and change in a myriad of ways. And Di Tiling's one was simply too big! It swung down and crashed into the ground, almost overturning all the soil. The harvest in the field was not ripe yet, but it had already seen everything.
"Haha, you've been crushed into powder, right? Who asked you to mock me!”The killer laughed.
However, after the smoke dissipated, Nangong Xiaoxiang and Dongfang Liuyun were still standing there without moving.
"It's mystic qi protecting the body, and he's even using such an ancient technique!”This was the foundation of the Four Symbols, and the killer had probably abandoned it long ago.
"I said it's just for show." Nangong Xiaoxiang said.
"That's right, it's just a big guy bluffing. He no longer knew how to use his Profound Qi. When the staff was swung down, it looked like a landslide and an earthquake. It was so scary. Actually, the mystic qi was scattered, so he could not unleash any power at all.”Dongfang Liuyun said.
"I think you're very suitable to harvest potatoes for the farmer uncle!”Nangong Xiaoxiang mocked him.
"Damn it!" The killer roared and charged forward.
"Decide!" Nangong Xiaoxiang and Dongfang Liuyun shook hands and used a combined move to repel the assassin.
After that, Nangong Xiaoxiang immediately let go of his hand.
"When you held my hand just now, did you know that my heart was about to jump out?”Dongfang Liuyun said.
"Is that so? This is because your cultivation is insufficient and your heart rate is irregular.”Nangong Xiaoxiang said.
"No, I'm thinking, if we encounter a true Four Symbols expert. If we die together holding hands, will the person who's cleaning us up tell that we're a couple?”Dongfang Liuyun thought to herself.
"I don't want to die, and I don't want to die with you!”She didn't expect a man to be so infatuated. Nangong Xiaoxiang heaved a sigh of relief and said,""I beg you to stop bothering me.”
So she turned to leave.
"Xiao Xiang! I don't care about fame and status. I can even leave the Dongfang family as long as I can be with you.”
"It's so easy to say. The four great clans aren't some wild sects. Even if they were to betray their sect, they would at least have to cut off one of their arms.”Nangong Xiaoxiang said.
Dongfang Liuyun immediately pulled out a knife and hung it on her arm. He immediately chopped down.
Fortunately, Nangong Xiaoxiang stopped him in time, but he was already injured. "Are you crazy? You won't give me a good impression by doing this. Do you know, if you cut your arm in private, I won't like you even more.”
"I'm just expressing my determination. If I can break my arm and leave the Dongfang family, it'll be a matter of time.”
"You don't need to watch. I already have someone I like.”
"Who is he?" Shangguan Liuyun suddenly stood up angrily.
"Don't be so agitated. You can't beat him either.”
"Beiming Junye."
"Anyway, I won't like you. He didn't like it from the beginning. No matter what you do, it has nothing to do with me. We might have gone through some things together. Just treat them as an ordinary past. After all, who hasn't had some unexpected encounters in this world?”Nangong Xiaoxiang turned around and left without looking back. She was as cold as ice.
Were those just accidents? Why do I feel like it's predestined?
Dongfang Liuyun was not annoyed by Nangong Xiaoxiang's indifference.
Looking at Nangong Xiaoxiang's back as she walked away, she looked so delicate and charming. In his heart, he fell even more in love with Nangong Xiaoxiang and vowed to take her as his wife. At the very least…he had to stay by her side and protect her.
However, Beiming Junye appeared out of nowhere. This guy was a strong opponent. In terms of status and Qi realm, Dongfang Liuyun believed that she could not compare to him in any way.
In this case, he had to strike first! Dongfang Liuyun secretly made a decision in her heart.#
