Chapter 3791 The Third Assassination

How could Ye Tian possibly let that person escape? His figure flickered, and he chased after him from behind.

Seeing that the trouble was resolved, Ye Bufan reached out and grabbed the Storage Ring that had fallen to the ground.

No matter what, this was an Immortal Venerable-level expert, so there must be treasures inside the ring.

But just as he made his Move, a dark shadow suddenly appeared silently behind him, like a ghost.

This person appeared too suddenly; he had been hiding in the surroundings all along and was not discovered by the many Immortal Venerable-level experts, which showed how powerful his stealth skills were.

The moment he appeared, the aura on his body suddenly erupted, and the black short blade in his hand directly stabbed towards Ye Bufan's back.

All of this happened too quickly, too suddenly, and the movements were extremely skilled, flowing like water, as if practiced thousands of times.

Ye Bufan had no time to dodge, and the short blade directly pierced through his body, directly into his back, splattering blood.

Having succeeded in one Move, the Black-Clothed Man did not stop at all; he pulled out the short blade, then swung it again, and the black short blade directly cut across the neck, sending the head flying high before falling to the ground.

Apparently, all of this was within his plan; after succeeding, he was ready to flee, but then he frowned again, as things seemed to be a little different from what he had expected.

Although Ye Bufan's head had fallen, no Primordial Spirit overflowed.

"What's going on?"

The Black-Clothed Man was a little stunned; this was clearly flesh and blood, not a Clone, so how could there be no Primordial Spirit?

And just as he was stunned, an incomparably sharp aura attacked from behind, mixed with monstrous Devilish Qi.

"Not good!"

As a top-tier assassin, he immediately recovered his senses at this moment, realized that something big was wrong, and immediately raised his movement technique to the extreme, preparing to escape.

It has to be said that this guy's speed was extremely fast, almost like a ghost.

But Ye Tian's speed was even faster than his, and he heavily punched him on the head from behind.

"Pfft!"

Another headshot, even the Primordial Spirit was shattered.

This person never understood until his death whether his assassination had succeeded or not, whether the target had died or not, and why there was no Primordial Spirit.

"Well done."

As soon as he finished speaking, another figure walked out from the shadows; it was Ye Bufan.

It turned out that when he left Bixia Sect, he had already made preparations. Dark Shadow Gate had already attempted to assassinate him twice, and according to the rules, they had one last chance, which could happen at any time, and his departure from Yuangu City was the best opportunity.

In addition, there were the Four Directions Sword Sect, the Zhao Family, and the Han Family. He was now irreconcilable with these three families, and their enmity was extremely deep.

Moreover, he still had over forty billion Immortal Crystals on him, and they all knew it clearly, so they would not let go of such a good opportunity.

Therefore, without Fairy Chixia's escort, if he wanted to return to Yuangu City alone, he would very likely encounter an ambush along the way.

With Ye Tian by his side, he did not choose to return secretly but walked out openly.

After all, constantly guarding against enemies hidden in the dark was not a good thing; it was best to eliminate them directly.

It was just that when he left, he summoned Ye Erlang to attract fire in front, while he used Chaotic Immortal Essence to hide nearby.

Facts proved that his prediction was correct; not only did the assassin from Dark Shadow Gate make a Move, but the other three families also sent Immortal Venerable-level experts.

Looking at the Black-Clothed assassin lying on the ground, Ye Bufan felt a sense of relief in his heart. He had finally escaped Dark Shadow Gate's three assassination attempts, and there should be no more problems in the future.

It was just a pity that he still hadn't figured out who the person hidden behind the scenes was.

He reached out and picked up the assassin's Storage Ring, and his Divine Sense swept over it. As expected, it was not much different from the previous two, containing only some scattered Immortal Crystals.

In addition, there was an identity token with the words Gouhun written on it.

It was indeed a person from Dark Shadow Gate. He secretly sighed in his heart, thinking that a Sect that could casually dispatch Immortal Venerable-level assassins was indeed extraordinary.

Fortunately, the other party's three failures ended the assassination, otherwise he would have been annoyed to death.

"Big Brother, I left one alive. How do you want to deal with this guy?"

Ye Tian was also a very reliable person. He successively killed two Black-Clothed Men and left the last one alive.

He directly threw that person in front of Ye Bufan, with all four limbs broken and his Dantian crippled, leaving him with no power to resist.

Ye Bufan glanced at that person, reached out, and directly pulled off the mask.

"You are from the Zhao Family?"

Although Zhao Qingzhuo was low-key, he had been to the Hundred Sects Hegemony Battle before, and Ye Bufan had seen this person.

Coupled with the slight resemblance in his features to Zhao Xingyun, Zhao Xingfeng, and others, it was easy to guess that he was from the Zhao Family.

"This Old Man has already failed. I only ask for a quick death!"

At this moment, Zhao Qingzhuo no longer had the arrogance of an Immortal Venerable-level expert, and his eyes were filled with despair.

Before this, he had never imagined that he would become a cripple, from an Immortal Venerable to an ordinary person.

He would rather die than endure this pain and humiliation.

Ye Bufan said, "You can die, but you must honestly answer my questions, and I can give you a quick death."

"Yes, I will tell you everything I know."

Since his identity had been recognized, it meant that the Zhao Family had been exposed. In this situation, Zhao Qingzhuo did not want to hide anything anymore.

Ye Bufan asked, "Who were the other three people?"

"I'm not too sure; they weren't with me."

Zhao Qingzhuo said, "However, I can guess the previous two. From their Moves and cultivation, they should be from the Four Directions Sword Sect and the Han Family. I don't know the last one."

He had lived for over ten thousand years, and as experts from the Three Sects, Five Factions, and Seven Great Families, they knew each other very well.

From the previous fight, he could judge where the other two people came from, with basically no major errors.

He had never seen the last assassin, Gouhun, and could not guess his origin.

Ye Bufan asked the second question: "Who sent you to intercept me, and what was the purpose?"

"Naturally, it was the Grand Elder. The purpose was for the Immortal Crystals in your hand, and to take your life at the same time."

Zhao Qingzhuo was eager for death, so he answered straightforwardly, without any hesitation.

Ye Bufan asked, "Then how did you know I came to Bixia Sect?"

"Someone sent us a letter…"

Zhao Qingzhuo recounted how Zhao Qinglian received a mysterious note.

"So that's how it is."

If he had only listened to this Old Man speak, he wouldn't have understood much, but by connecting today's assassination attempts, Ye Bufan had already guessed most of it.

That note should have been Gouhun's doing. This high-level assassin from Dark Shadow Gate had always been hovering around him, so he was very clear about Ye Bufan's whereabouts.

The notes he sent out should not have been only to the Zhao Family; the Han Family and the Four Directions Sword Sect should have also received them.

The purpose of doing this was very simple: to use the three families to eliminate him.

If that didn't work, then he, the mantis stalking the cicada, would also greatly increase the chances of his assassination succeeding from the shadows.

As expected of Dark Shadow Gate's last assassination attempt, and as expected of a top-tier assassin, he was not only skilled but also had this kind of mind. It was just a pity that he never dreamed that Ye Bufan had Ye Erlang as a substitute, and also an expert like Ye Tian by his side.
