Starting with the divine power of the Great Vajra, he traversed the heavens.

Chapter 97 The World's Number One Assassin (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
Liang Xiao rallied his spirits and charged straight down the hillside.

But after a brief charge, when they looked up, they found that the white-robed man and Ah Xue had vanished without a trace.

He thought the two had been captured, and couldn't help but shout, "Ah Xue!" He immediately rushed towards Tuo Huan's banner.

the other side.

Ah Xue stared blankly as Ren Shaoyang led her away, flying leisurely through the formation. Both of them were clearly dressed in white, yet the Yuan army seemed to completely ignore the formidable enemy before them?
Several groups of cavalry galloped towards them, but they seemed not to see them, heading straight for Liang Xiao behind them.

"Brother Ren, is this some kind of smokescreen?"

Ren Shaoyang's steps quickened, and he said casually, "This skill is called 'Discarding the Mind Style.' What I've learned from it is a method to deceive the opponent's six senses and move stealthily, which is called: Concealing Form and Shadow."

Ah Xue was greatly surprised and couldn't help but exclaim, "You can hide your form even when you're with Ah Xue?"

"Of course," Ren Shaoyang said casually. "With this 'Concealing Form and Shadow' technique, I can be considered the number one assassin in the world. I am invisible and elusive, appearing and disappearing in an instant, making me impossible to guard against!"

Just then, another troop of cavalry came towards them, and Ah Xue's heart sank.

Ren Shaoyang, however, did not avoid or yield, but went straight to meet him.

Ah Xue's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly covered her mouth, afraid of making a sound.

Ren Shaoyang smiled, his pupils trembling rapidly. As the two sides approached, his steps changed, like a kitten tiptoeing, swaying left and right, bypassing the approaching soldiers with the grace of flowing water, as swift and silent as a shadow.

The cavalryman only felt a gentle breeze, his clothes fluttering, but he was completely oblivious, staring at Liang Xiao in the distance, and did not notice the two living people passing by.

Xue was surprised and couldn't help but look up at him.

Ren Shaoyang smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ah Xue woke up with a start and exclaimed in delight, "Brother Ren is truly the greatest assassin in the world! Ah Xue is impressed!"

Ren Shaoyang laughed heartily: "Sister Xue, get ready! We're going to take the enemy general's head from the midst of a massive army!"

Upon hearing this, Xue's face immediately turned serious, and she nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Suddenly, Ah Xue felt that her surroundings were empty, and then her eyes were bright.

Looking up, he suddenly met the gaze of a giant chieftain clad in a golden dragon-patterned armor.

This man had high cheekbones and a curly beard, and his face exuded an air of majesty and nobility.

"Ah, Brother Ren, it's him!" Ah Xue whispered in Ren Shaoyang's ear, "He's Tuohuan!"

Ren Shaoyang smiled slightly and said softly, "Okay."

Although the sound was soft, it was like a thunderclap in Tuohuan's ears!
He suddenly opened his eyes wide and shouted, "Who!" Before the shout had even faded, a ray of blue light flashed and then stopped abruptly.

Although the shout was only half-finished, it still startled many of the experts around.

The man in white was the most skilled in martial arts. He was in his fifties, with a high nose and deep-set eyes, and his white hair was piled up on his head like a Buddha.

His name was He Tuoluo, an Indian master, and Liang Xiao's greatest rival at this time.

However, He Tuoluo was horrified at this moment, because he suddenly saw a man in white robes carrying Ah Xue to the scene.

Directly opposite, Prince Tuohuan's head was propelled into the air by a burst of hot blood, flying several meters high and overlooking the entire arena.

"Ah! The commander-in-chief is dead!"

The warriors were terrified and cried out in alarm.

Ren Shaoyang glanced around with disdain, smiled slightly, his sleeves fluttering as he leaped into the air, like a white cloud emerging from a mountain peak, drifting lightly away into the distance.

At this moment, everyone realized what was happening and called for the archers to draw their bows and fire a hundred arrows at once.

Ren Shaoyang neither dodged nor yielded; his sword blade snapped open, spinning rapidly, and the arrows shot out, scattering in all directions and hitting many soldiers.

Before anyone could react, the white figure had already drifted away towards the southeast.

Then Ren Shaoyang's loud laughter rang out: "Liang Xiao, if you don't leave now, when will you?"

Liang Xiao witnessed Ren Shaoyang's feat of taking the enemy general's head amidst a vast army and was utterly astonished.

Seeing him escape unscathed with Ah Xue, his heart surged with burning passion, and he shouted, "How dare I disobey!" He fired two shots to clear a path and sped off, following closely behind.

At this moment, seeing their commander die a tragic death, the soldiers were enraged, mounted their horses, drew their bows, and gave chase for their lives.

The sky was already beginning to lighten, but it was still shrouded in dark clouds.

There was a rushing sound ahead, like flowing water.

Liang Xiao ran relentlessly, his face scratched by thorny branches, but he was completely unaware of it.

After running for a while, suddenly my eyes lit up; it turned out the forest had come to an end.

Looking out, a river stretched out, embracing the mountains and connecting to the sea, a vast and expansive sight. It turned out he had already reached the banks of the Qiantang River.

Just then, a clear voice rang out: "Brother!"

Liang Xiao was startled and quickly rolled off his horse. He turned around and suddenly leaped more than ten feet away to embrace a figure in his arms.

"Axue!"

When Ah Xue saw him, she was overjoyed, and tears welled up in her beautiful eyes.

Having just faced life and death, the two embraced tightly.

Liang Xiao looked down and saw that although Ah Xue was covered in blood, her beautiful eyes were as bright as stars, full of smiles of relief after surviving a disaster.

"Brother, I missed you so much!"

Hearing Ah Xue's cheers, Liang Xiao burst into tears, hugged her tightly, and said, "Silly girl, you, you scared me to death."

Ah Xue blushed and lowered her head, twisting the hem of her clothes.

Liang Xiao continued, "How badly are you injured?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Xue quickly raised her head, pointed to the riverbank, and cried out, "Brother, Ah Xue is alright! If it weren't for Brother Ren's rescue, Ah Xue really wouldn't have seen you again!"

Liang Xiao suddenly woke up and looked up to see the white-robed man standing with his back to them, looking down at the river flowing into the sea with an air of nonchalance.

Strangely enough, the magnificent view of the sea and sky merging into one appeared insignificant in comparison to the silhouette of that person.

Even the vast, boundless sky became a faint shadow around this person.

Liang Xiao was shocked: "When did this person appear? How come I completely missed him when I just glanced at him?"

But then again, a master who can take the head of an enemy general amidst a vast army and then leave gracefully should be like this. Liang Xiao patted Ah Xue's head, took her hand and walked behind the white-robed man, cupping his hands and saying, "Young master, thank you for saving my sister's life."

Ren Shaoyang turned around and looked at this "West Kunlun," who had both a bad reputation and a good reputation, was extremely arrogant yet incredibly talented.

Liang Xiao also sized up the white-robed youth, and saw that he was handsome and refined, with bright eyes and two sword-like eyebrows that flew straight up to his temples. He secretly admired him: "What a spirited young man!"

Ren Shaoyang smiled and said, "I'm so glad to finally meet you, Liang Xiao. My name is Ren Shaoyang."

Upon hearing his introduction, Liang Xiao was surprised: "Judging from your words, it seems that we have long been acquainted?"

Ren Shaoyang laughed and said, "You don't know me, but I know you."

A thought struck Liang Xiao, and he raised his voice, "Are you a disciple of Master Gongyang?"

Ren Shaoyang said, "I come from the Vajra lineage. What do I have to do with that old, poor scholar?"

"The Vajra lineage?" Liang Xiao was taken aback. "You're Master Jiuru's disciple?"

Ren Shaoyang chuckled: "You could say I'm a successor from a different generation."

Liang Xiao nodded and sighed, "I understand."

Ren Shaoyang knew he had misunderstood, thinking he was the disciple of the Nine Like Ancestor, the Peanut Master.

But he had no interest in correcting it.

"Liang Xiao, do you know that I have come here for two purposes?"

Liang Xiao found it strange, but still asked, "What are your two purposes, Young Master Ren?"

Ren Shaoyang glanced at him and said loudly, "Firstly, it is to save Sister Xue so that she doesn't have to die tragically on the banks of the Qiantang River!"

"what!"

Ah Xue and Liang Xiao were startled, but upon closer reflection, they realized that even if they fought their way out, they would still be no match for the pursuing army and might both perish there. They also felt that what the person in front of them said was true.

"What about the second one?"

Ren Shaoyang let his sleeves fall and laughed, "Kill them!"

Liang Xiao didn't understand: "Young Master Ren has already killed Tuo Huan, who else does he want to kill?"

Suddenly, Ah Xue remembered something and quickly took Liang Xiao's hand, saying, "Brother, Brother Ren said he still wants to kill Boyan!"

Liang Xiao's expression changed, then he composed himself and said in a deep voice, "Right here on the banks of the Qiantang River?"

Ren Shaoyang stood against the wind, his sleeves fluttering, and laughed, "The feng shui of this place is excellent. Burying this famous general here is a sign of respect for him."

Liang Xiao's expression changed several times. Boyan was different from Tuohuan. He was his mother's junior brother and had been kind to him. He had always admired Boyan's character.

Now, hearing that this top expert in front of him wanted to kill Boyan, he couldn't help but feel conflicted.

Ren Shaoyang's gaze swept over, and when Liang Xiao's eyes met his, he suddenly felt dazed and drowsy.

"not good!"

Liang Xiao suddenly shook his head, broke free, took a few steps back, and looked at him with a horrified expression.

Ren Shaoyang laughed and said, "Are you caught in a dilemma?"

Liang Xiao glanced at him in surprise: "Yes, I don't want Boyan to die, nor do I want Young Master Ren to get hurt!"

Ren Shaoyang said calmly, "Since that's the case, you should take Ah Xue and leave this place. We won't help each other."

Liang Xiao was taken aback and asked, "Young Master Ren, are you alone?..."

Ren Shaoyang waved his hand, interrupting him: "I went through so much trouble to save Sister Xue, I don't have time to argue with you. After killing Boyan, I'll leave Wuyu, but if you don't leave, you'll be caught in the crossfire again, and Xue will be implicated. Wouldn't I have saved her for nothing then?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Xiao exclaimed "Ah!" but upon thinking of Ren Shaoyang's strange sword and unparalleled movement, he fell silent for a long time.

Ren Shaoyang said, "My feud with Boyan is a matter of national and personal hatred. I will kill him honorably."

Upon hearing this, Liang Xiao clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "In that case, I, Liang, am truly ashamed to remain here."

Ren Shaoyang smiled and said to him, "Liang Xiao, there's something else I want to tell you."

Liang Xiao said, "Young Master Ren, please speak."

"Ah Xue is an extremely good girl, you mustn't let her suffer any injustice!"

Liang Xiao was taken aback, and said, "I will not let Ah Xue suffer any injustice."

Ren Shaoyang glanced at Ah Xue, whose cheeks were so red they looked like they were about to bleed, and sneered.

"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, for they will soon be bare and withered. Your indecisiveness has made me want to slap you since I was a child!"

"what?"

Liang Xiao suddenly looked up, not understanding why Ren Shaoyang was suddenly scolding him. What did he mean by "from childhood"?
But seeing him turn away and gaze at the river with his hands behind his back, he seemed unwilling to talk any further.

After a moment of silence, Liang Xiao and A Xue bowed to him in gratitude, said goodbye, and then rode away on their white horses in a hurry.

Not long after the two of them had gone, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves and saw a group of people galloping towards them from the north.

The leader was tall and burly, with a five-foot-long bow hanging on his shoulder, exuding a majestic aura.

This person was none other than Boyan.

He was seen leading the way, followed by a group of Yuan generals, among whom was He Tuoluo.

Seeing the white-robed figure standing alone on the riverbank, overlooking the rolling river, he did not turn his head back.

Bayan was furious. He waved his hand and shouted, "The white-robed man is here. Kill him without mercy!"

"Yes!"

Three or four figures responded and rushed over as if their feet barely touched the ground.

At this moment, the thunder grew even louder.

The wind picked up.
