Chapter 819: Jump Up and Kick to Death

The four Sword Masters of Sword Cottage, along with many disciples, stood at the peak of One Sword Peak, gazing at the six to seven thousand examinees entering Sword Cottage.

They were puzzled as to why there were so many more participants in this year’s Sword Cottage recruitment assessment compared to previous years.

A sudden explosion drastically changed their expressions.

"Not good, it’s the Silver Cloth Assassins."

"How did Silver Cloth Assassins manage to infiltrate?"

"The three Judicator Families have murderous intentions towards our Sword Cottage, sending Silver Cloth Assassins to eliminate us."

"There’s definitely more than one Silver Cloth Assassin. Everyone, quickly go down and rescue them."

"How can we rescue them? We have no idea which among those six to seven thousand people are the Silver Cloth Assassins."

The four Sword Masters and the Sword Cottage disciples were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Not to mention why the three Judicator Families decided to annihilate Sword Cottage suddenly; if those martial artists who came to participate in Sword Cottage’s recruitment assessment were all killed, it would surely affect Sword Cottage’s reputation. Who would dare to apprentice here in the future?

At this moment, they desperately hoped for a miracle.

Because faced with the current crisis, they were completely at a loss.

"That is..."

Suddenly, they saw a person shout "looking for death" and leap into the sky. With just a casual wave, hundreds of silver lights shot out, and hundreds of heads in the crowd tumbled down.

"Who is that?"

"This person’s strength is formidable, killing hundreds in one move. At this rate, all the examinees will die at his hands."

"This person is very young. I haven’t heard of such a master from the three Judicator Families or the Eternal Kingdom."

Everyone on One Sword Peak was both shocked by Ye Xiu’s strength and terrified by his method of killing 599 people in one stroke.

"Everyone, don’t be tense!"

Just then, ’Southern Sky Monarch’ smiled and said:

"He is Xuanse Medicine King Ye Xiu."

Beigong Wudi said, "That’s right, it’s Ye Xiu. That night when I went with Senior Brother to Nanchuang Courtyard to deliver the Weapons Manual to him, I met him and even ambushed him once, but he easily defused it."

Upon knowing it was Ye Xiu who killed,

the hearts of the Sword Cottage people finally settled down, and their panic and anxiety eased.

"As expected, he is indeed feared by the three Judicator Families. His power is truly terrifying."

"Even Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother are no match for Ye Xiu. Ye Xiu’s cultivation might have reached the Eighth Realm."

"With Ye Xiu’s help, this sudden crisis isn’t much of a crisis anymore."

The people of Sword Cottage suddenly began to chatter again, displaying an air of ease as if nothing mattered as long as Ye Xiu was present.

At this point, Beigong Wudi wondered aloud, "Are all the hundreds of people beheaded by Ye Xiu Silver Cloth Assassins?"

This question abruptly halted the light-hearted chatter.

"Damn, is Ye Xiu randomly killing people?"

"There are so many people, and the Silver Cloth Assassins are well-disguised. Even identifying them one by one might not work. Ye Xiu can’t possibly know who the Silver Cloth Assassins are; he’s just killing recklessly."

"I thought with Ye Xiu around, Sword Cottage had nothing to worry about, but he ended up slaughtering hundreds and causing trouble for us!"

The attitude among the Sword Cottage people towards Ye Xiu began to sour rapidly, with some even starting to curse Ye Xiu as a jinx.

Southern Sky Monarch frowned and asked, "After Ye Xiu killed, did anyone else self-detonate?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment!

Indeed!

The three Judicator Families wouldn’t send just one Silver Cloth Assassin.

And after one Silver Cloth Assassin self-detonates, the others would have to follow suit immediately to maximize the killing effect.

Otherwise, if examinees disperse in fear after one detonation, additional detonations by other Assassins wouldn’t kill many!

Evidently!

Those few hundred people Ye Xiu killed were all Silver Cloth Assassins!

"Gasp!"

Someone inhaled sharply and said:

"Could Ye Xiu have the ability to judge who is a Silver Cloth Assassin?"

Everyone nodded!

They thought so too!

All at once, Ye Xiu’s figure became infinitely mysterious in the eyes of everyone at Sword Cottage.

"Why are you suddenly acting crazy?"

Jiang Keqing angrily interrogated Ye Xiu, who had descended from the sky after killing, and said indignantly:

"We are here to steal the Weapons Manual, and you suddenly high-profile slaughtered hundreds. The Sword Cottage people must have noticed you. How are we supposed to steal now?"

Ye Xiu replied solemnly, "They were all Silver Cloth Assassins."

Jiang Keqing was taken aback: "How do you know?"

This time, it was Ye Xiu’s turn to be dumbfounded: "The Dragon God Totem possesses the ability to see through others’ strengths; you didn’t know?"

It turns out the girl awakened the Dragon God Totem in the wrong way; no wonder she’s so weak after awakening it.

"Is that so?" Jiang Keqing twitched at the corner of her mouth, thinking she really went astray with the Dragon God Totem awakening, and no wonder Ye Xiu is so much stronger even though they share the same Dragon God Totem.

Thinking this, Jiang Keqing was filled with rage and said angrily:

"Even if you saw those people as Silver Cloth Assassins, you shouldn’t have killed them. Leaving them to create chaos in Sword Cottage would increase our success rate in stealing the Weapons Manual. Now it’s worse; Sword Cottage people are probably watching us now. Stealing the Weapons Manual has become harder."

"Watch out!" Ye Xiu suddenly warned.

"Watch out for what?" Jiang Keqing asked.

No sooner had she spoken than she saw 262 masked people emerge in small groups from the underground, surrounding her and Ye Xiu.

"Who are you? Why are you hiding among the examinees of Sword Cottage?"

An old lady wielding a two-meter-long staff, wearing a black mask, glared at Ye Xiu and asked.

The other 261 people also glared at Ye Xiu, wishing to peel him alive.

The original plan of the Long Family was to sacrifice 600 Silver Cloth Assassins, killing all the over six thousand martial artists who came to Sword Cottage for the recruitment assessment.

Then, after bloodying Sword Cottage, they could declare the massacre was Sword Cottage’s doing on the martial artists, avenging them by wiping out Sword Cottage.

Yet Ye Xiu ruined the well-laid plan!

"My name is long; you wouldn’t remember it even if I told you." Ye Xiu said playfully.

"Say it, I’ll remember."

The old lady was desperate to know who Ye Xiu was, or more precisely, how he identified 599 Silver Cloth Assassins.

"My name is Zabladopwiroqiosgotosciok">, Ye Xiu said with a smile:

"Did you remember it?"

Old lady: "..."

people: "..."

Jiang Keqing: "..."

Jiaojiao: "..."

Is that even a name?

"You dare toy with me!"

The old lady erupted in rage, flashing in front of Ye Xiu, swinging the staff at his head.

Seeing this, all 261 people laughed, fully aware of the old lady’s strength. In their view, Ye Xiu was doomed.

"You’re so old; such anger might lead to a brain hemorrhage and a painful death, so let me give you a quick one."

Ye Xiu casually caught the staff, then leaped and kicked the old lady away.
