The Beacon of Kyushu

Lone Wolf was the most knowledgeable among the crowd. He clasped his fists towards Yun Zixiao and said, "Young Master Yun, if I'm not mistaken, the sword in your hand is the Liuyun Sword that has killed countless masters of both good and evil. The sword technique you use is the legendary Thirteen Swords of Heaven, right?"

Yun Zixiao nodded slightly, "That's right."

The lone wolf had a black veil on his face, so his expression could not be seen clearly, but Yun Zixiao could still sense his hostility and vigilance through his eyes. "If I'm not mistaken, you are Xingzhou Zhizhou Yun Zixiao, right?"

Yun Zixiao nodded again, "It is me."

As soon as the words "this officer" came out, it was not just Lone Wolf who was on guard. Many assassins drew their weapons and stared at Yun Zixiao, ready to fight him to the death. Yan Wu had originally intended to conceal Yun Zixiao's identity, but now that he could no longer conceal it, he could not help but sigh and said inwardly, "My Lord Yun! It doesn't matter if you killed someone just now, but how dare you admit your identity now? Not only will you be in trouble, but I will also die with you!"

The lone wolf held the dagger upside down, with frightening murderous light flashing in his eyes. "Yun Zixiao, we in Lihentian never interfere in the affairs of the court. Even if you want to kill a beggar, it's not okay! I have a magical medicine that can make people lose their memory. I advise you to take it obediently and get out of the Soul-stealing Tower, otherwise I will have no choice but to kill you!"

Yun Zixiao said calmly: "Why do you want to kill me?"

Lone Wolf said, "You are an official appointed by the court. If we let you leave like this, once you report us to the government or lead troops to encircle and suppress us, none of us will be able to escape. For my own survival, for the sake of making money and killing people in the future, I will not allow Lihentian to be destroyed!"

Yun Zixiao said: "I understand."

The lone wolf asked in confusion: "Why are you asking even though you already know the answer?"

Yun Zixiao said coldly: "I want to know how you can kill me!"

The lone wolf had been roaming the martial arts world for more than 20 years, and no one had ever looked down upon him like this. Veins popped up on his forehead, and his eyes turned bloodshot. He howled toward the sky, tapped his toes lightly, and rushed forward with his short sword in his hand.

Yun Zixiao held the long sword upside down and looked at the lone wolf coldly, "Come on!"

The lone wolf was no match for the Yin Snake in terms of strength, speed, or cruelty. The short sword in his hand whistled through the sky, making a sharp buzzing sound, shining brightly in the moonlight, and pierced Yun Zixiao's throat.

Yun Zixiao's expression did not change at all, and he was still calm and infuriating. Lone Wolf had killed at least eight hundred top masters in his life, even if there were not a thousand. He had never seen anyone so calm, as if he regarded him as nothing. "Yun Zixiao, you are looking for death!"

The lone wolf howled again, and at the same time, the strength in his hands increased a little, wishing he could cut Yun Zixiao's throat with a sword. Yun Zixiao looked at him coldly, until the strong wind brought by the dagger had already hit him, then he slightly dodged to the side, effortlessly avoiding the attacking dagger. The next moment, the Liuyun Sword came out, the cold light reappeared, and blood gushed out!

Before the lone wolf could see clearly when Yun Zixiao drew his sword, his throat had already been pierced by it. Bright red, hot blood flowed out from the wound, "Yun... Yun Zixiao... You... Are you a human or a ghost?"

Yun Zixiao raised the corner of his mouth and laughed coldly: "If the opponent is a human, I am the smartest person. If the opponent is a ghost, I am the most vicious ghost! Since you want to kill me, you should have thought of this end!"

The lone wolf gave a bitter smile, and the body slowly fell down. The blood that kept oozing from his neck instantly dyed the ground more red. Yun Zixiao disdainfully drew out his long sword, looked at the thirty-three assassins present, and said proudly: "This business of mine today, you have to accept it, whether you want to or not! If you dare to make a noise again, these two gentlemen will be your role models."

If Yinshe's martial arts were ordinary, Yun Zixiao's killing him was just an accident, which was barely acceptable. However, Gulang once killed five tigers in one night and killed famous people thousands of miles away. He was a powerful figure in Lihentian, second only to the four top killers in the southeast, northwest and northeast. Before tonight, no one would have expected that someone could kill him with a sword. This happened suddenly, which really frightened everyone.

Yan Wu was so frightened that he almost peed his pants when he saw this. He could not stop complaining in his heart, "Master Yun, Master Yun, you are really my master! You kill people with pleasure, but after you leave, my life will be lost in the hands of the master. I am really unlucky for eight lifetimes!"

Everyone in the tower looked at the two bodies on the ground in silence for a long while, with shock, confusion, anger, and fear in their eyes. After a long time, a masked man with a well-proportioned figure and holding a long sword slowly said, "Yun Zixiao, you broke the rules of our Lihentian, and you even dared to kill two assassins in the tower. I guess you are tired of living!"

Although the person who spoke seemed ordinary, he still dared to challenge a master like Yun Zixiao at this moment, which clearly showed that he was definitely not an unknown person. Yun Zixiao looked in the direction of the voice and saw that he was dressed in black and had a veil on his face. He didn't know where the person who spoke came from. The assassins in the tower seemed to suddenly become confident and said one after another: "Brother Tiansha, quickly kill this Yun! If he doesn't die today, my Lihentian will be destroyed in the future!"

Yun Zixiao only knew that there were many masters in Lihentian, but he didn't know what the code names of the masters known as the four killers of the southeast, northwest, and northeast were. Yan Wu quickly pulled Yun Zixiao's sleeve and whispered, "Master Yun, the four killers of the southeast, northwest, and northeast are codenamed Tiansha, Tianjie, Tiannan, and Tianmie. The one speaking is Tiansha, a top killer who specializes in eliminating disasters in the east. You'd better not mess with him, otherwise..."

"Tiansha." Yun Zixiao smiled slightly and said sarcastically, "The sword technique I practice is called the Thirteen Heaven-Slaying Swords, but he chose to be called Tiansha. Doesn't that mean he is destined to die under my sword? If he is lucky enough not to die, I will give him gold, silver and jewelry and ask him to kill people for me!"

Tiansha held the sword to his chest, without saying a word in retaliation, as if he had not heard Yun Zixiao's sarcasm. He was indeed an experienced and evil professional killer, and he knew the difference between facing the enemy head-on and assassinating in secret. So unlike Yinshe and Gulang, he did not follow the assassination routine and was eager to kill the opponent. Instead, he kept looking at Yun Zixiao's body, trying to find a flaw. Even if there was only a slight flaw, he was sure to kill him with one strike.

Yun Zixiao saw that he didn't attack but stared at him closely, so he knew that this man deserved the title of the four top killers. But Yun Zixiao's martial arts were mostly taught by his grandfather Feng Jiutian, so that not only was his swordsmanship incredibly fast, but his experience in facing enemies was also extremely experienced. Even though he had only had a few real battles in his life, he was familiar with the methods of dealing with various powerful enemies.

Tiansha stared at Yun Zixiao, trying to find his flaws. Yun Zixiao also looked at Tiansha, waiting for the opportunity to attack. They just stared at each other with eyes as strong as thunder. Their eyes met, their minds collided, and countless sparks seemed to splash in the air. Their murderous intent soared to the sky, and a fierce battle was about to break out, but they were not in a hurry to attack.

Many people in the field thought that both sides were afraid and that a fierce battle would end in failure, and they all thought it was boring. Only Tianjie, Tiannan, and Tianmie felt the thrill of watching their eyes and occasionally changing shapes. (End of this chapter)
