A streak of black light suddenly pierced through the surface of the water from the bottom of the pool and headed straight for Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu sensed it the moment the killing intent erupted.
However, the black light came too fast, and he only had time to dodge. However, a long wound was still cut open on his right arm.
Blood gushed out and dyed his sleeves red.
Strangely, in the face of this sudden change.
Nora was expressionless, as if he didn't see anything.
This wasn't a state that a normal person should be in. Even if she had colluded with an assassin, she shouldn't be in this state.
Whoosh!
Water splashed on the shore.
An assassin covered in black instantly appeared in front of Ye Xiu and stabbed his sword at his heart.
The sword light was piercingly cold, spitting out a terrifying sword light.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing.
Ye Xiu retreated, his right hand trembling slightly.
The assassin did not give up, and his momentum became even more ferocious.
At this moment, a shadow floated over from behind Ye Xiu's right.
The shadow floated in the air. It seemed to move slowly, but in the blink of an eye, it appeared between the Assassin and Ye Xiu.
The shadow stretched out his hand to grab the incoming sword light and slapped out with his other hand.
The assassin raised his arm to block, but his arm was instantly fractured. The huge force hit the assassin's chest, breaking a few ribs on the spot. The assassin directly spat out blood and flew backward. He fell to the ground and could not get up.
Young Master Ye Xiu, are you alright?" An Ying turned to look at Ye Xiu. Under the moonlight, Ye Xiu saw the metal mask on her face. Only a pair of bright eyes could be seen through the mask.
He shook his head and said," I'm fine." Then, he walked to the assassin.
"Do you know what the other party is up to?" Ye Xiu sized it up for a moment before turning to ask Shadow.
Shadow pondered for a moment and shook his head."I'm not too sure yet, but I have some clues.”
"Is this assassin still useful?" Ye Xiu asked.
" No use." Shadow shook his head." He's a death warrior. We can't get anything out of him."”
It was not just that she could not get anything out of him. Otherwise, she would have committed suicide like the assassin.
"Another death warrior?"
Ye Xiu's eyes turned cold.
As he spoke, a sword light pierced through the assassin's neck. The sword light sliced through, and his entire head rolled to the side.
Ye Xiu calmly bent down and tore off a corner of the assassin's clothes, wiping the blood off his sword.
It was only then that the people in the banquet hall arrived and saw the scene in front of them.
"What happened?" Ye Xiaolan was the first to run over. When she saw the wound on her brother's arm, her face turned cold.
"It was a reckless assassin.”Ye Xiu explained. Then, he thought of something and said,""Right, that Nora is a little abnormal.”
"It's the Heart Controlling Pill." An Ying, who was standing beside him, revealed the mystery." Her mind has been controlled by someone, but the Mind Controlling Pill only lasts for three days. She will recover very soon.”
"Get someone to control her. Maybe we can get some clues from her.”Ye Xiaolan called for a guard and ordered him to take Nuo La away. Then, she looked at the wound on her brother's arm with concern.
"How is it? Are you seriously injured?"
"It's alright. The wound isn't deep." Ye Xiu lowered his head to take a look. The wound wasn't as serious as he had imagined. Ye Xiu knew that this was because his physical defense was several times stronger than martial artists of the same cultivation level. Otherwise, even if that sword strike didn't dismember his entire arm, it would at least injure his bones.
Unlike now, it was just a small flesh wound.
Knowing that her brother's injuries were not serious, Ye Xiaolan heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she looked at the dead assassin on the ground.
"Two assassination attempts in a month. It seems like they already know.”
Ye Xiu nodded silently.
He knew what Ye Xiaolan meant.
Originally, the person behind the assassin should not have been in such a hurry to assassinate him for the second time. After all, it had only been half a month since the last assassination.
The wisest choice would be to wait a few more months. When he left Winter City for Snowflake City, that would be the best time to assassinate him.
However, the other party didn't choose to do so. Instead, he couldn't wait. It was as if he wouldn't stop until he killed Ye Xiu. He once again tried to assassinate him.
The reason why he chose tonight was probably because the other party felt that Ye Xiu wouldn't always bring a guard with him when he came to attend the engagement banquet. In addition, he used the Mind Controlling Pill to control a puppet and used a honey trap to lure Ye Xiu to a secluded place before taking the opportunity to make his move.
The plan was very good, and it had been very successful in the beginning.
However, the other party had miscalculated two things.
Firstly, they hadn't expected Ye Xiu to be so cautious. They had long sensed Nuo La's abnormality and underestimated Ye Xiu's strength, missing the best opportunity to kill him.
The second reason was that they didn't expect Ye Xiu's hidden guard to be so strong. He didn't give the assassin a chance to deal with him and took him down in one move.
