Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality

After watching the game for only a short while, Jiang Jihai noticed that something was amiss.

Logically speaking, after Lu Xuan and Shangguan Yulong's group arrived, they should have had a significant advantage, if not an immediate and overwhelming kill of the assassins from Bixuewu.

The current situation, where both the number of players and the overall strength are evenly matched, is clearly illogical.

If the number of assassins from Bixuewu had been this many from the beginning, Yu Qiu and Du Ya wouldn't have been able to hold out until reinforcements arrived.

There's only one possibility for this situation: the assassins also have backup.

Or perhaps, this group of assassins originally numbered this many, but they simply hadn't all shown themselves before.

Realizing this, Jiang Jihai instantly lost his interest in watching the spectacle and began to pay serious attention to the changing situation on the field.

Like Jiang Jihai, Zuo Cheng, who had just witnessed Lu Xuan and Shangguan Yulong arriving with reinforcements, had also experienced a dramatic change in mood. He had been making boastful and arrogant remarks.

Zuo Cheng thought that his side would be completely out of danger after the reinforcements arrived, and he was ready to launch a counterattack to wipe out all the assassins from Bixuewu.

But who would have thought that these assassins had a backup plan!

The accomplices who suddenly appeared were no weaker than their own!

This feeling of being ambushed, of deliberately walking into the enemy's trap, filled Zuo Cheng with extreme fear and unease.

Shangguan Yulong and Lu Xuan also felt uneasy.

Shangguan Yulong was chosen by the Hall of Worship to become a non-family worshipper, which speaks volumes about his strength. He has a brilliant record of defeating a first-class peak martial artist while only at the late stage of first-class cultivation.

As a veteran master who has been famous for decades, Lu Xuan is unable to unleash the full strength of a first-class peak master due to his age. However, with his rich combat experience and profound internal strength, he is still able to crush martial artists who are a small realm below him.

But at this moment, neither of them was able to gain the slightest advantage from the enemy.

It was obvious that the two assassins who fought them possessed strength far exceeding that of other martial artists at the same level!

If Bixuewu had such figures twenty years ago, Lu Xuan and Shangguan Yulong wouldn't be surprised at all. However, after the massive crackdown by Xuanjian Pavilion, Bixuewu was severely weakened, with its assassins either dead or crippled. It was no longer the glorious place it once was.

Therefore, given the current strength of Bixuewu, it is simply impossible for them to produce two such powerful assassins.

The possibility that the two joined later is extremely slim.

Given their strength, the benefits they would gain by joining any major power would far exceed what they could gain by staying in Bixuewu.

"You are not from the Jade Blood Pavilion!"

Shangguan Yulong continued his moves, and suddenly a sentence popped out of his mouth, his tone very firm.

"Shangguan Gongfeng, you're really joking. I'm not from Bixuewu, so why would I be from the Gongfeng Academy?"

The woman who fought with him replied calmly.

Because he was wearing a mask, Shangguan Yulong could not see the expression on the other person's face.

Shangguan Yulong did not give up. Recalling the recent assassination attempt on Lu Xuan, he instantly came up with a bold guess and bluntly stated:

"You're a member of the Tianyi Sect, aren't you!"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yulong could clearly sense a brief fluctuation in the woman's aura.

Although it was only a very brief moment, it was enough to illustrate a lot.

It seems his guess was correct; this person was indeed not an assassin from Bixuewu, but a remnant of the Tianyi Sect!

"You demonic cultists have some nerve! You actually dare to show yourselves in the Great Qian Dynasty. Aren't you afraid that the 'War to Exterminate Demons' will be repeated?"

The woman knew that Shangguan Yulong had caught her brief loss of composure, so she simply stopped denying it.

"Shangguan Gongfeng is joking again. In the present day, the Great Qian Dynasty is facing the covetous Great Yong and Great Li in front, and the ever-expanding Jianghu forces within. If it still dares to launch a 'war to exterminate demons' so easily, then the change of dynasty is not far away!"

Shangguan Yulong angrily rebuked, "You witch, stop talking nonsense! Even if the power of the Great Qian is not as strong as it used to be, it is not difficult to eradicate a mere incomplete Tianyi Sect!" At the same time, he was thinking about how to pass this message out to the Third Prince.

The woman seemed to see through Shangguan Yulong's thoughts and sneered, "Shangguan, you have quite the big mouth! Instead of spouting nonsense here, you should think about how to get yourself out of here alive!"

After saying that, the woman no longer held back and unleashed her full power, striking out with a palm that sent a surge of powerful dark purple true energy rushing towards Shangguan Yulong.

—The Ghost Hand of the Underworld!

When Qi Changqing, who was watching the battle from the tree, saw the woman use this palm strike, his eyes widened immediately, and he recognized the move instantly.

After the woman unleashed the "Netherworld Ghost Hand," Shangguan Yulong was instantly at a disadvantage.

Lu Xuan, who was standing nearby, was facing the same situation.

The assassin fighting him, seeing the leading woman unleash her full power, also stopped holding back and unleashed a strange and unpredictable demonic technique, overwhelming Lu Xuan.

At the same time, all the assassins present at the Azure Blood Dock began to unleash their full power.

Under the relentless, death-defying attacks of these assassins, Yu Qiu, Du Ya, Lu Changfeng, and others have been repeatedly put in danger, and there have been numerous casualties.

Seeing this, Jiang Jihai became anxious and could no longer hold back. He grabbed a piece of cloth to cover the lower half of his face and prepared to jump down to help.

But the next moment he found that his body was frozen in place as if it had been struck by an acupuncture point, and he could not move at all.

Of all the people present, only Jiang Yuchuan possessed such abilities!

With that thought in mind, Jiang Jihai immediately rolled his eyes and glanced sideways.

In that glance, Jiang Yuchuan casually plucked a handful of leaves from above his head, then flicked his hand downwards, sending all the leaves flying.

When he turned his eyes to look down at the field again, he saw that the leaves that had been shot out of Jiang Yuchuan's hands seemed to have eyes, trailing green tails as they nimbly darted across the battlefield, knocking down the enemy's weapons at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

The woman, who was frantically attacking Shangguan Yulong, suddenly saw a green light flash before her eyes. Before she could even dodge, the green light pierced her palm, breaking the "Netherworld Ghost Hand" technique she was using.

This sudden turn of events shocked everyone present, causing both groups to stop fighting.

"May I ask which expert made this move? Would you be so kind as to show yourself?"

While using her internal energy to stop the bleeding, the woman warily looked around.

Shangguan Yulong and Lu Xuan were also secretly observing the surrounding movements, but unlike the women, they were not as wary.

The person who made the move in the shadows must have been on their side, otherwise they wouldn't have only managed to shoot down their enemy's weapon.

After a moment of silence, no one appeared.

The only response the woman received was a cool breeze blowing from deep within the woods.

Left Chancellor, his clothes stained with blood, narrowed his eyes, his heart pounding with renewed excitement. He seized the rare opportunity, raised his sword, and thrust it fiercely at the assassin standing opposite him.

"Die to me!"

The assassin, unarmed and unable to defend himself, was instantly pierced through the chest by Zuo Cheng's sword and died on the spot.

The others reacted immediately and began to swing their weapons at their opponents.

"withdraw!"

Without further hesitation, the woman immediately gave the order and led her men into the woods.

The person who made the move in the shadows broke her technique with just a single leaf and knocked down the weapons of more than a dozen people. Their strength was far beyond what she could contend with.

There was clearly no point in her staying any longer.

Fortunately, the person who attacked her didn't intend to kill her; otherwise, all of them, even if they were afraid of dying, would have perished here.

The Left Chancellor, blinded by rage, was about to give chase when he saw the enemy flee when Shangguan Yulong stopped him.

Their current condition wasn't much better than the fleeing assassins. If they continued their pursuit now, there was no guarantee that the other side wouldn't fight them to the death.

More importantly, he still doesn't know the identity of the person behind this or what their purpose is in helping them.

Too many unexpected events have occurred tonight, and he must return to Sheng'an City as soon as possible to tell the Third Prince everything that has happened.

As for the remnants of the Tianyi Sect who infiltrated the Great Qian Dynasty and the audacious Bixuewu, others will deal with them.

"Thank you for saving my life, senior! I am Shangguan Yulong. If you ever have time to visit Tianlong City in the future, please feel free to visit the Third Prince's residence so that I can properly repay your life-saving grace."

After thanking Lin Zhong, Shangguan Yulong led everyone away from the woods.

Yu Qiu and Du Ya, being injured and exhausted, did not continue their journey and returned to Sheng'an City with Shangguan Yulong.

After Shangguan Yulong and his group left, Jiang Yuchuan and his two companions were nowhere to be seen in the woods.
