"It seems this assassination attempt has been in preparation for a long time; it probably began even before I set off!"
Clap clap clap, applause rang out from behind Xu Xiao. Xu Xiao turned around abruptly and saw that about ten meters behind him, there were nine men in black standing there.
These people varied in height and build, yet they were all wrapped up so tightly that no trace of their identities could be seen.
Not only that, Xu Xiao couldn't see through the strength of any of these nine people; all nine of them were stronger than him!
Even a first-grade master probably couldn't do this. Xu Xiao understood that even if these nine people weren't at the Land Immortal Realm, they were probably very close to being powerful experts!
What kind of force could possibly deploy so many experts to assassinate me at once?
Xu Xiao's eyes were full of confusion.
The Li Yang Dynasty?
Impossible. There are only so many experts in the Li Yang Dynasty. Xu Xiao knows the physical characteristics of these people. The people in front of him are completely different from those in Xu Xiao's memory.
It's even more impossible that they were assassins kept by Zhao Li.
It is extremely difficult to become a top-tier expert. Even with years of training by the Li Yang royal family, it is already quite remarkable that they can produce two or three such individuals.
九人
With his strength, Xu Xiao didn't believe Zhao Li would have endured for so many years.
Even in the Tang Dynasty, it was impossible.
After all, the Northern Cold was far from the Great Tang.
If the Tang Dynasty were to assassinate me now, and I were also unable to take over the Northern Cold Lands, wouldn't I be doing all the work for the Li Yang royal family?
Xu Xiao didn't believe Li Shimin would be so stupid.
Before Xu Xiao could continue guessing, the nine people didn't say anything more, and directly dispersed their formation to attack Xu Xiao.
Seeing this situation, Xu Xiao had no choice but to grit his teeth, muster all his strength, and prepare to fight to the death.
Xu Xiao didn't take out the jade token Ye Fan had given him because he thought that since these nine people had made a move, they were confident that Ye Fan wouldn't be able to find any fault with them.
Naturally, they wouldn't have any concerns because of Ye Fan's token.
While he was thinking, the nine men had already attacked Xu Xiao.
Xu Xiao used all his life's skills to unleash a palm strike, attempting to concentrate all his strength on one person in order to seize a sliver of hope for survival.
However, the moment he made contact with it, Xu Xiao's face turned pale, and the immense force sent him flying.
It flew dozens of meters, crashing into several large trees that were several people thick, before finally coming to a stop.
With a spurt, a mouthful of blood spurted from Xu Xiao's mouth, and in an instant, his life force waned to an extreme low!
Chapter 110 Ye Fan Makes His Move, A Fallen Immortal Descends to Suppress the Eight Desolations!
Xu Xiao was suddenly attacked.
All of this happened very suddenly, when many powerful figures from all over the world came to pay attention.
The scene that greeted them was that of a severely injured Xu Xiao, lying listlessly under a tree.
Some people did not witness the attack.
However, most people still witnessed the attack by the nine men in black.
With just one glance, many people from various forces could tell that these nine people were all peak first-grade experts!
For a time, the question arose in the minds of many who were watching this event: what kind of force dared to provoke Ye Fan and even send so many top-tier experts to assassinate him?
Liyang Palace
Upon seeing Xu Xiao's serious injuries, Emperor Zhao Li of Liyang almost couldn't help but dance with joy on the spot.
"Good! Well done! Xu Xiao, you bastard! Hahaha! You're not dead yet, are you?"
Excited, Zhao Li felt no pressure at all.
He was already fantasizing that after Xu Xiao's death, he would effortlessly take over the four states of Beihan and Xu Xiao's hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers!
At that time, his strength will increase greatly!
With the death of Ancestor Zhao Huangchao of Liyang, the influence on the Liyang Dynasty will also cease to exist!
Zhang Julu, standing next to Zhao Li, looked tense, his hands clenching unconsciously under his sleeves.
My palms were covered in sweat.
He was waiting for Ye Fan's reaction.
However, there are many people who share the same thoughts as Zhang Julu.
For example, Xiong Ba of the World Society.
Xiong Ba looked coldly at Xu Xiao, who was lying heavily injured on the ground, but his heart was filled with anxiety.
Even before, Ye Fan's displayed strength had put immense pressure on him.
However, the death of Zhao Huangchao in 453 was the most devastating blow to Xiong Ba.
Compared to the strength of the Zhao Dynasty, Xiong Ba believed himself to be far superior.
However, Xiong Ba knew he could never do what Ye Fan did—easily kill Zhao Huangchao, who was wielding the Golden Lotus of Fortune, under the influence of the Wuju (a martial arts technique).
Thus, Xiong Ba was also extremely curious about just how strong Ye Fan was.
Now is the perfect opportunity to witness Ye Fan's strength.
Across thousands of miles, how will Ye Fan rescue Xu Xiao from the siege of nine top-tier experts?
At this moment, most of the people watching the Truman System share the same thoughts as Xiong Ba.
Everyone was waiting to see how Ye Fan would make his move.
It's like an immortal tearing through space with their bare hands, traversing thousands of miles to deliver a rescue.
He was still like a sword immortal, with a single thought, ten thousand swords leaped a thousand miles to kill these nine people.
Of course, not everyone thinks this way.
Take, for example, Xu Xiao's daughter, Xu Weixiong.
Seeing his father's miserable state, Xu Weixiong was extremely anxious.
Seeing that the nine men had severely injured Xu Xiao, they were still not satisfied and began to walk towards Xu Xiao, who had fallen under the tree, again.
Xu Weixiong almost instinctively cried out, "No!"
However, at this moment, Xu Weixiong was still quite a distance from Xu Xiao.
Xu Xiao couldn't hear that desperate scream, and Xu Weixiong could only watch helplessly as the nine men in black gradually approached him.
On the spot, Xu Xiao, who had fallen under the tree, stared indifferently at the nine men in black slowly approaching him.
By this point, he had understood the purpose of these nine people.
It was a test; the fundamental purpose of these nine people was to test Ye Fan's strength.
Seeing the nine people's cautious appearance, Xu Xiao grinned and said, "So you're scared now? Bei Han has become the power of Ye Fan, the Martial Saint of the Human World!"
"The grudge of today will be avenged by someone for me, Xu Xiao! Come on! Hahaha!"
As Xu Xiao laughed loudly, nine men in black had already arrived in front of him.
However, none of the nine men in black made a move. They looked at each other, and each could see the fear in the other's heart.
The strength Ye Fan displayed was enough to easily crush the group into dust in an instant.
However, due to orders from their master, they still had to risk taking action against Xu Xiao. Ultimately, only their master knew their true purpose.
Regardless of the circumstances, their orders were to kill Xu Xiao!
Without further hesitation, the nine people launched another simultaneous attack on Xu Xiao!
However, at the very moment the nine people made their move, a sudden change occurred!
hum!
A crisp buzzing sound rang out from Xu Xiao's chest.
A beam of light pierced through Xu Xiao's clothes and shone out.
The light shone in front of Xu Xiao, blocking him and the nine peak first-grade experts.
Xu Xiao and the other nine people were stunned at the same time.
In that instant, a figure quickly appeared in the light!
A figure in white robes, shrouded in mist!
Her long, jet-black hair was gently caressed by the wind.
The skin peeking out from beneath her robes and hair was as white as jade.
His handsome features inspire awe in all who see him.
The white-clad figure that suddenly appeared was like a celestial being descended to earth, with an unparalleled beauty that made it impossible to tell whether the person was male or female.
At that moment when everyone was stunned, the immortal waved his right hand.
A long, pure white sword suddenly appeared in his hand.
