Chapter 354 Arriving in time
"Young Master is back! Be careful, Young Master!" Ah Can tried to call out loudly.
"Guest, pfft!" Bai Yan exclaimed in surprise, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
It was a close call! If it weren't for the Yin-Yang Silkworm Armor on Bai Yan's body, he would probably be separated from Bai Ke by death by now! However, his injuries are still very serious, and if they are not treated in time, his life may be in danger.
What insidious swordsmanship! This person has an ordinary appearance, looking just like any other person, yet he has mastered such a vicious sword technique.
"Hmm?" This person clearly did not expect that this sure-kill sword strike would not have killed him. The Heavenly Strategy Palace is indeed worthy of its reputation!
This person's nickname is Ming Yijian, and he can't even remember his real name. He is one of the top ten assassins of Fengmanlou, and his cultivation level is in the mid-stage of the Returning to Emptiness realm.
Although his cultivation level wasn't particularly high, his assassination success rate was extremely high; rumors said he only needed one sword strike to kill. While that was somewhat exaggerated, it was roughly accurate. In fact, he had already arrived here, but hadn't made a move yet.
Ming Yijian had been searching for the perfect opportunity, and he wouldn't deign to lay a hand on just anyone. Sure enough, he finally found a good prey and a good opportunity, but unexpectedly, he failed!
However, he wasn't panicked. It seemed the man was already severely injured; he was lucky to be alive and posed no threat for the time being. But then a young man suddenly appeared, seemingly at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. What kind of monstrous talent was this?
At such a young age, reaching the Nascent Soul stage is usually considered genius enough. This person has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and at the Great Perfection! If such a monstrous talent is allowed to grow, will there be any opponent in this world?! He must be eliminated!
Little did he know, Bai Ke had already sentenced him to death in his heart! He couldn't vent his hatred without killing him! Bai Ke had finally brought his father back from the Chaotic Burning Sea, but he never expected that as soon as they returned, he would see that his father was almost dead and his murderous aura was completely out of control!
"Father, hold on, your son is back!" Bai Ke immediately helped his father up, used his spiritual power to soothe his injuries, and then gave his father a precious pill.
"Ke'er, be careful, I'm fine," Bai Yan said weakly.
"Uncle Yan, what's wrong? Young Master, you're back!" Ah Can flew over quickly and said hurriedly.
"It doesn't matter."
"We can talk about this later. I need to kill this man first to avenge Elder Murong and my father!" Bai Ke said menacingly.
"Guest, you must step back immediately. You are no match for him. This person has already reached the mid-stage of the Void Return realm! Let me..." Bai Yan said urgently.
"Father, don't worry, trust me," Bai Ke interrupted Bai Yan. Bai Yan could only nod. If things really got bad, he would protect Bai Ke even at the cost of his own life if Bai Ke were in danger.
"Young master, you must kill this scoundrel to avenge the master!" On the contrary, A-Can blindly worshipped Bai Ke, believing him to be an invincible being.
"Hmph! The thought of such a monstrous genius dying by my sword excites me. Hahaha!" Ming Yijian said, his face flushed.
"Old dog! Get over here and die!" Bai Ke stared intently at him and said.
"Hmph! You brat, you have quite the nerve. Today, I'll send you and your son to the Western Paradise to reunite!" With that, Ming Yijian swung his sword, his speed no less than that of a late-stage Void Returning cultivator!
No sooner said than done! Ming Yijian aimed a sword straight at Bai Ke's throat, but Bai Ke remained unmoved.
"Could it be that he was intimidated by my aura? Such a prodigy shouldn't be like this!" Ming Yijian was somewhat puzzled, but even so, he still thrust his sword forward. He didn't believe that a mere Nascent Soul cultivator could possibly have any means to block his sharp sword!
"Clang!" The sound was as sharp as two pieces of metal colliding! Ming Yijian's magic sword was even slightly bent!
Ming Yijian was utterly shocked!
"No! Impossible! You must be using sorcery! Absolutely impossible!" Ming Yijian was furious and prepared to attack again.
"Take this—Starry Sky Like Snow!" A chilling light erupted, freezing the surrounding air. This was his signature sword technique, his strongest strike! Unleashed in fury, it was at the pinnacle of his power!
"Boom!" A loud noise rang out, thick smoke billowed out, and Ming Yijian looked ahead nervously.
"Guest!"
"Son!"
As the smoke gradually dissipated, Bai Ke was found standing perfectly still, unharmed, though his clothes were somewhat torn.
"You... how could this be!" Ming Yijian was on the verge of collapse! Even despair!
"Hehe, I love seeing despair in other people's eyes. It's my turn!" Bai Ke leaped away and disappeared from Ming Yijian's sight.
Upon seeing this, Ming Yijian immediately used his movement technique to escape with all his might, giving up all resistance.
Suddenly, his years of experience as an assassin told him that he was in grave danger.
"Pfft!" Ming Yijian was punched from mid-air and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, mixed with some internal organs.
"That's it? I haven't had enough fun yet!" Bai Ke said with a faint smile. To Ming Yijian, that smile was like that of a demon, and he crawled backward in terror.
He swore in his heart that he would never see that devilish man again in his life! Unfortunately... he didn't have that life.
Bai Ke, like a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex, began to furiously beat Ming Yijian with his fists. Ming Yijian was punched again and again until he was a bloody mess and no longer resembled a human.
Those who came to attack and the ugly old man were stunned by Bai Ke's cruel methods!
The female disciples of Tian Ce Palace were on the verge of vomiting.
Bai Yan was also somewhat stunned. He hadn't expected that brat to have grown up so much. He... he'd really grown up! Yes! He'd grown up. He was no longer the brat who needed him to clean up his messes!
"Jing'er! Do you see this? This is our son. He's grown up! Do you see this!" Bai Yan was overjoyed and tears streamed down his face.
"Young master is mighty! Kill that son of a bitch!" Ah Can shouted arrogantly, as if he were the unparalleled man in the world.
"The Holy Son is unparalleled!" The disciples who were fighting were greatly encouraged and began a full-scale counterattack.
"Those who offend my Tian Ce will be punished, no matter how far away they are!" Bai Ke shouted, his whole body stained with the blood of Ming Yijian, looking like an ancient demon god that inspired awe!
"Kill!"
The battle of Tian Ce lasted for a whole day, from dawn until dusk! Blood stained the land red, leaving only the lonely cries of the raven.
"Order! All wounded disciples shall return to the sect to recuperate! All disciples who sacrificed their lives in this battle shall be given a proper burial, and their widows and children shall be fully supported by Tian Ce."
"The Holy Son is wise!" the surviving Tian Ce disciples all said respectfully.
