Chapter 717: Chapter 717: The First Murder_1
Ye You knew the crisis he was facing now was unprecedented. He immediately braced himself, using his wind attribute magic skill, "Lightning Moving", to dodge at a lightning-fast speed. At the same time, he was also carefully looking for a chance to escape. However, he wanted to stay here a little longer, hoping to receive new information about Qin Sisi.
However, surrounded by more than ten assassins, even though he was fast, he could only dodge within a small area, which was quite inhibiting.
Ye You himself was severely injured, and his Magic Source was damaged, so he couldn’t bring out the full power of "Lightning Moving".
Not long after, Ye You barely managed to dodge a net and leaped forward. Unexpectedly, another net was waiting for him like a hunter for his prey, instantly trapping Ye You.
The assassin controlling the net from the beam above jumped down in triumph, tightened the mouth of the net, picked up the net, gave it a few shakes, revealing the black cat inside, and said grinningly, "Brothers, the job’s done, let’s go collect the reward."
Everyone gathered in laughter. The enemy that had made Sage Ruler so nervous, they had thought, would be a tough opponent, but turned out to be quite easy to deal with.
They were delighted to have earned one thousand top-grade spirit stones so easily.
Overjoyed, none of them noticed the huge mirror on the wall, where another figure was quickly emerging from the still-operating tunnel.
Just as the assassins were about to leave this small room, a figure flew out from the mirror.
With the time tunnel about to close, the distorted power of time and space forcefully threw out the person inside, then the round tunnel became blurrier until it disappeared. The mirror returned to a common mirror, reflecting the scenes before it.
The person thrown out was Qin Sisi. She and Ye You were separated in the time tunnel. As Ye You was smaller, the distorted power of time and space sucked him in quicker, so he arrived in the Demon Sacred Realm earlier than she did.
Under normal circumstances, the two separated individuals would have a slim chance of landing in the same location since their spiritual power was different.
However, to ensure he would capture Ye You, Tian Xiaozi had placed a large mirror in this room in the royal palace and infused it with hostile Ghost Spirit energy, fixing the exit of the time tunnel here.
Because of this, Qin Sisi also arrived in this remote room in the Demon Sacred Realm’s royal palace through the time tunnel, shortly after Ye You.
The force that pushed her out was too strong; Qin Sisi couldn’t control her body and hit the back of one of the assassins, who was holding the Ice Silk Net that had trapped Ye You, quite hard.
Caught off guard, the assassin groaned and was thrown onto the ground, letting the net slip out of his hands.
The group of assassins were surprised, wondering if this black cat had an accomplice.
They quickly took out their weapons again, focusing on the person who had knocked down their companion. When that person sat up in confusion and looked around, the assassins were astonished.
Their opponent had such a weak aura, perhaps just at a magician’s level. How did such a person get into the forbidden area of the royal palace?
The Sage Ruler had only mentioned a black cat emerging, not a human. So, should they capture or kill this individual?
While the assassins were temporarily startled, Ye You managed to scramble out of the Ice Silk Net. He leaped onto Qin Sisi’s shoulder, a move he was extremely familiar with after having done it many times before.
"Sisi, run!" Ye You urgently told her while raising his claws. He roared "Snowstorm Ice Arrow," sending countless icy arrows towards the assassins with a powerful momentum.
Ice carries the element of coldness.
On top of the offensive attack, the ice attribute magic could also cause the enemies to become paralyzed and slow, although this effect didn’t last long.
Qin Sisi hadn’t fully recovered from the disorientation of the time tunnel. However, hearing Ye You’s shout, she immediately lifted her head, located the door, and started running towards it.
Just as she reached the door, she extended her hand, intending to open it.
Suddenly, a figure darted in front of her, standing directly between Qin Sisi and the door.
Ye You’s "Snowstorm Ice Arrow" had managed to delay most of the assassins, but not all.
Unable to stop in time, Qin Sisi almost crashed into the man in front of her. Seeing the cold smirk on the assassin’s face, Qin Sisi cried out internally.
"Divine Dog’s Fury!" Seeing things going awry, Ye You immediately reminded Qin Sisi.
Before entering the time tunnel, he had used the Divine Dog’s Fury to take a Luminous Pearl from the old ghost’s grave and temporarily stored the pearl in his Portable Space. He had removed the restriction on the Divine Dog’s Fury, restoring its power, and returned it to Qin Sisi.
Hearing Ye You’s reminder, Qin Sisi’s eyes lit up. She reached for the Divine Dog’s Fury wrapped around her waist, summoned her magic power, and fiercely lashed out at the looming assassin.
The assassin blocking the road did not show any sign of panic. How could a magician’s level weakling hurt him? He was a high-level magic teacher, the strongest among the group.
The next second, the expression of this "strongest one" froze. The wound caused by the Divine Dog’s Fury extended from his left shoulder to his right waist, deeply reaching the bone marrow and damaging his internal organs. Fresh blood gushed out, staining Qin Sisi’s clothes a shocking red.
Indeed, he was the strongest assassin in the group, capable of powerful spiritual power and magic skills.
However, he was dealing with the Divine Dog’s Fury!
One of the top ten great divine artifacts in the Demon Sacred Realm, no one could withstand its assault from such a close distance.
If he had tried his best to defend, he might have been able to preserve his life. But he had looked down on Qin Sisi too much and didn’t think it was worth it to defend against a low-level magician.
So, he paid the price for his underestimating his enemy.
The leader of the assassins, a huge and strong man, slowly fell down, stirring up countless small dust particles that started to dance in the dim light.
Those behind the leader, who had just freed themselves from the hindrance of Ye You’s ice magic and were ready to charge forward with their weapons, were stunned by this dramatic turn of events and became utterly still.
Qin Sisi was also stunned, looking at the fallen leader of the assassins and the bloodstains on her clothes, unable to recover for a long time.
She had used the Divine Dog’s Fury to wipe out ghosts and to help the aggrieved dead take revenge, but she had never personally killed anyone.
She had just arrived in the Demon Sacred Realm for a few minutes and had already broken the principle she had always adhered to in the Human World.
Ye You looked at Qin Sisi with sympathy in his eyes and comforted her, "Sisi, let’s leave this place first."
