"You...what are you doing!?" A sharp cry rang out immediately. After kicking the dog away, Ye Xiao turned around and saw a fat lady in an elegant long dress pointing at his nose and cursing, "You lowly person! How dare you do this to my baby!"

Ye Xiao walked up to the lady without saying a word and started to grab her by the collar.

He has never had any desire to communicate with such people.

"How dare you!" The guard beside the lady stepped forward and stopped Ye Xiao with the hilt of the sword, "What do you want to do..."

Then the poor guard also flew into the river, making a beautiful splash of water.

The guard's head emerged from the water, but before he could spit out a few mouthfuls of water, a huge shadow covered his terrified face.

That was the noble lady who followed closely behind him. She threw the guard, who had just emerged to take a breath, back into the water like a round ball.

Ye Xiao clapped his hands, pointed at the two people struggling on the river and yelled: "I, the adventurer Luo Heng, hate beasts like you the most. I will beat you and your dog every time I see you!"

"Asshole, do you know who she is! She is..." The guard grabbed the noblewoman struggling in the water from behind, his face full of anger, but before he could finish his words, a stone suddenly hit the water surface next to him, scaring the guard, "Oh my God, what are you doing!?"

"If you shout again!" Ye Xiao picked up another stone from the ground with a ferocious look on his face.

"What a lunatic! You'd better remember this!" The guard hurriedly pulled the choked lady to the other side of the river bank, fearing that Ye Xiao would hit her head with a stone.

Seeing that the noise from the other side had finally stopped, Ye Xiao dropped the stone in his hand and walked over to pick up the flowers on the ground with Gratia.

"Who is Luo Heng?" Seeing Ye Xiao coming over, Gretia put the bouquet in her hand back into the little girl's basket and asked curiously.

"A righteous partner." Ye Xiao put the last few flowers on the ground into the flower basket. Even so, only half of the flowers were left in the basket, and the rest were crushed into mud by passers-by. "If you accidentally offend others for justice in the future, remember to report his name, and he will help you get rid of the disaster and solve the problem."

"That's weird." Gratia expressed her incomprehension.

"Thank...thank you, Uncle Luo." The little girl held up the flower basket and said softly.

"No, my last name is Ye, so you should call me Uncle Ye." After saying that, Ye Xiao was stunned for a moment, then the corner of his mouth twitched, "No, Uncle! Do I look that old!?"

"Xie Xie, you, Uncle Ye~" The little maid lowered her throat and made a sarcastic sound.

Ye Xiao patted Gretia's dodgy head, and then looked at the little girl.

The girl was pretty, but nothing special about her other than that. He was a little confused as to why the finger-severed man had come up with a request to assassinate this girl.

The little girl bowed, walked aside and tried to stop other passers-by to sell flowers.

This is naturally ineffective. Apart from other things, the flowers in the basket cannot even be named, and people who really want to buy flowers will not be interested in wild flowers that don't even have a name.

Ye Xiao was still watching the girl's back when suddenly a cold wind blew by, and a shop sign not far above the little girl's head began to loosen.

Ye Xiao noticed the sign out of the corner of his eye. If it were usual, he might not think anything of it, but at this moment, he suddenly felt very strongly that the wooden sign might very likely fly down and hit the girl squarely.

In a flash, Ye Xiao took out the magic wand behind him, and the next second the sign fell with the wind, like a falling guillotine, heading straight for the head of the girl who was still selling flowers.

"Phase shift!" The spell was blurted out, and there was a slight distortion in space. The falling sign disappeared, and instead, a confused water bird flapped its wings and fell from the sky, drawing a few inelegant arcs, and fell to the ground and rolled a few times.

On the river surface behind Ye Xiao, a signboard hit the water with a "bang".

Most people don't have the habit of looking up when they walk, so this concealment technique performed in mid-air didn't even attract as much attention as the kicking of the dog just now.

"Miracle magician!?" Gratia beside him opened her eyes wide.

"You know this too?" Ye Xiao put away his staff. After the sign fell down, he vaguely felt that something was subtly wrong.

Isn’t this little girl a little too unlucky?

"Of course." Gratia grabbed the corner of Ye Xiao's clothes, "Please, go to hell with me."

"Your invitation is too freaking scary. I'm sorry to refuse it." Ye Xiao was very upset. "By the way, don't you think there's something wrong with this little girl?"

Chapter 74 Street Fighting

"Well, let me see." The little maid looked at the girl's lonely back, "She's not as tall as me?"

Ye Xiao couldn't help but complain, "You're comparing heights with an eight-year-old child??"

Can it be a bit like what the oldest demon god should look like! ?

"I'm just kidding." Gratia covered her mouth and chuckled, then she became serious, "Well... her fate is messed up."

Although Ye Xiao was talking, he continued to stare at the little girl not far away, fearing that there would be another strange accident. "What do you mean?"

"Hmm... it's hard to explain to you the knowledge above the Saint Steps." The little maid pointed casually, and a branch flew up from the ground, drawing a little man and several lines on the ground. "The thread of fate is derived from the law of time. Everyone has a predetermined thread of fate. The closer in time, the fewer and sparser the threads are, and the farther away, the more and denser they are."

“Every time an ordinary person makes a choice, he or she moves closer to the corresponding thread of destiny, and then along the predetermined destiny, it interweaves with other threads of destiny in the world.”

"It's probably like this: every time you make a choice, your future will change based on your choice, but this change has a basis, and it's related to all the threads of fate in the world."

"Astrologers or prophet magicians can use the thread of fate to peek into the results of the subsequent choices before making them. Of course, such results are also dynamic and not absolute."

"The thread of this girl's fate is disordered, which means that her choices and her future are chaotic, and the choices she makes will not necessarily lead to the future that corresponds to them."

"For ordinary people, this doesn't seem to matter?" Ye Xiao glanced at the painting on the ground, "Anyway, we don't know what our future will be."

"Not necessarily." Gratia smiled as she looked at Ye Xiao's eyes under his messy hair. "But the disorder of the thread of fate itself is a feature that is rejected by the law."

"feature?"

"For example, the incarnation of a god. Because the laws of control by gods are beyond their constraints, if a projection incarnation of a god that does not belong to the present world interferes with the present world, its fate will also be disrupted. The heavier the interference and the greater the repulsion, the more disordered the fate will be." Gratia continued, "In terms of what you can understand, it will become very unlucky. Therefore, if an incarnation of a god tries to forcibly use excessive divine power to disrupt the order of the present world, it may be extremely unlucky and some disasters such as time and space storms may occur to directly destroy its existence."

"...No wonder I've been feeling a bit unlucky lately. It turns out there are unlucky people."

"Go to hell, it's just your bad luck!"

"What are you yelling about? I didn't say anything about you!" Ye Xiao touched the teeth marks on his arm. In his field of vision, a suspicious figure in a cloak was walking slowly towards the little girl not far away in the crowd. "Could this girl be another god?"

Ye Xiao was tired of dealing with strange gods.

"If it's really a god, he can disguise the thread of fate, although it can't fool me." Gratia puffed up her chest and said.

"Wow, you are so amazing. If your subordinates are so awesome, then Lord Mammon must be even better."

"Bad guy, don't interrupt!" The little maid pinched Ye Xiao's waist and said angrily, "The incarnation of God is just an example. There are also some situations that will cause the thread of fate to be disordered. For example, this person himself may have a great influence on this world, or he may be a visitor from another world that does not belong to this world - so you are unlucky!"

"This little girl doesn't look like a player." Ye Xiao said to Gratia as he walked forward, slowly approaching the cloaked man who was approaching the little girl in the crowd, "Does that mean she will have an impact on the world?"

"Usually it's a negative impact." Gratia followed Ye Xiao and seamlessly switched to using magic to transmit the message, "For example, a demon king who might destroy the world."

"Ha." Ye Xiao thought that Ella's fate was probably tangled into a knot, no wonder she always encountered evil gods.

The cloaked pedestrian stood behind the girl, and a dagger flashing with a cold light suddenly appeared on his thick gloves, but Ye Xiao's laughter suddenly sounded from behind him, causing him to turn his head away.

"What a coincidence, brother, are you here to kill this girl too?" Ye Xiao asked in a low voice with a smile.

The cloaked man paused for a moment, then stabbed Ye Xiao's lower abdomen with the dagger.

The dagger had a sinister and tricky angle. If Ye Xiao had kept his eyes on his upper body, he probably wouldn't have noticed his stabbing action at all.

But although Ye Xiao didn't look at the person below, his left hand seemed to have eyes and grabbed the wrist holding the dagger first. At the same time, his right hand held the blade and gently wiped the other person's throat.

Just like the last time he escaped from the pool at Tianqin Peak, Ye Xiao, who was used to adventuring alone, had the habit of hiding blades in his sleeves, which was very convenient for concealed killing at times like this - after all, drawing the sword directly in a crowd would make too much noise.

"Ah..." The killer let out a silent gasp and immediately lost his strength. The dagger he was holding was loosened by Ye Xiao's wrist and fell to the ground.

"Relax." Ye Xiao pinched the other person's throat to prevent blood from splattering, and helped the killer who had lost blood and strength to slowly lie down on the side of the road.

Passersby walking in a hurry on the street would not care about the homeless person who suddenly lies on the side of the road.

Ye Xiao wiped the blood off his hands on the cloaked man's black cloak. He thought he had completed Atolina's commission after waiting for such a long time. However, when he turned around, he suddenly saw a faint cold light flash across the river from the corner of his eye.

More than one killer?

Ye Xiao flashed in front of the girl who was still selling flowers, grabbed the girl's shoulder and pulled her back suddenly. The arrow pierced through the air and hit the stall board next to her with the vegetable prices marked on it, right next to her forehead.

When the second killer appeared, the nature of things changed.

Ye Xiao originally considered waiting here for the killer who was looking for the little girl to appear, killing him directly and then going back to find Atolina.

But the appearance of the second killer meant that this protection mission was more troublesome than he had imagined, and the number of incoming enemies was uncertain.

Now Ye Xiao could no longer allow the little girl to wander around outside selling flowers, so he simply carried the girl up, and amid the vegetable stall owner's shouting and cursing, he snatched the other's stall and used it as a shield to protect himself.

The second arrow followed closely and was nailed on the thick wooden board. Ye Xiao turned around and ran into an alley with the confused little girl on his back.

Gretia, who was wearing a maid skirt, also ran behind Ye Xiao with her short legs, but the smiling expression on her face showed that she was not nervous about the current situation at all, but rather happy.

A figure suddenly appeared at the end of the alley, and Ye Xiao threw the stall in his hand at the other person without saying a word.

The rotating wooden board flew straight towards the figure's face. With the crisp sound of a long sword being unsheathed, the board instantly broke into two pieces.

But behind the split wooden board, there were only the little girl and the pink-haired maid standing alone in the alley, but Ye Xiao was nowhere to be seen.

Oh no! The figure seemed to realize something and immediately looked up.

In his field of vision, a dazzling blade light fell from the sky.

Chapter 75: Everything is Permitted

Ye Xiao's sword did not hit the solid ground. The ground trembled slightly, and the rising soil condensed into a huge human figure, which blocked the falling long sword with its hard stone skull.

With the sound of metal clashing, Ye Xiao stepped on the head of the earth element puppet that suddenly appeared and did a somersault backwards, barely avoiding its swinging fist.

The giant fist made of rock created spider-web-like cracks on the wall beside the alley. Ye Xiao landed on the ground, held his sword in front of Gratia and the little girl, took off the staff behind him with his left hand, and glanced at the elemental mage in a black cloak who appeared above the building.

"My friend," another killer, still frightened, walked out from behind the earth element puppet, holding a sword, revealing only a pair of cruel eyes between his high collar and pulled-down hood, "You are indeed quite skilled, but I advise you not to interfere in matters that you shouldn't interfere in."

At the same time, footsteps were heard behind Ye Xiao, and his ears also caught the slight sound of a bowstring being pulled. It seemed that the guy who shot the arrow from the other side of the river had also come over for team building.

"With such a big scene, I thought you were here to assassinate some marquis." Feeling the wind elemental magic power slowly gathering behind him, Ye Xiao quietly used his foot to hook a small stone nearby, "Please tell me your name, so I can consider whether to continue to intervene."

The assassin holding the sword frowned, "'Bath in blood, united as one, fingers severed as alliance', why don't you also come up with a name?"

"'Everything is false, everything is permitted.'" Ye Xiao said calmly.

"…What kind of organization is this?"

"You are so ignorant that you have never even heard of the name of my Brotherhood. Do you have the nerve to imitate others and become an assassin?"

"'Brotherhood'...?" The killer was stunned for a moment, then his eyes flashed with ferocity, "I don't care where you are from, it is not your place to meddle in the affairs of the Finger Severance!"

"Why, don't you understand our declaration? My brotherhood can do whatever it wants, and you have no right to control me."

"court death!"

The killer finally couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward with his sword drawn.

He finally realized that the guy opposite him was just making fun of him.

For Ye Xiao, knowing that the other party was a person with severed fingers was enough. Although he had some expectations when he saw that the assassination commission appeared in the Five Fingers Bar, he did not expect that Atolina would dare to go against her own organization in front of her.

Ye Xiao immediately kicked the stone with his toes towards the killer, but he turned the staff in his left hand and pointed it behind him, "Phase Shift!"

"Swish" the sound of an arrow breaking through the air was heard just as the words fell, but it only flew halfway before suddenly turning into a powerless little stone.

At the same time, the stone kicked away by Ye Xiao turned into an arrow with the force of a strong wind and shot straight towards the face of the sword-wielding killer.

The arrow appeared in front of him without any warning, and the killer who was rushing forward had no time to react. He hurriedly raised his hand to block it.

The arrow suddenly pierced the sword, and the spiral wind directly shook the sword in the killer's hand and made it fall off. Ye Xiao took the opportunity to rush forward and swung the long sword towards the opponent's throat.

The mage on the rooftop saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly controlled the earth element puppet to leap forward to block it. At the same time, he chanted a spell, lifting up the sand and gravel on the ground and attaching them to Ye Xiao's legs.

Ye Xiao immediately swung the staff in his hand, and a fireball drew an arc and accurately flew towards the mage on the high ground.

The magician hurriedly mobilized his magic power to condense a shield in front of him. The brilliant sparks of the explosion instantly obscured his vision. Ye Xiao took the opportunity to jump sideways and step onto the wall beside him to escape from the surging earth on the ground.

Taking advantage of the force exerted by the recoil of the wall on his feet, Ye Xiao changed his jumping angle in the air and flipped over the shoulder of the earth puppet in front of him. He grabbed the end of the staff with his left hand and threw it towards the killer who was hurriedly picking up the long sword.

The moment the staff left his hand, Ye Xiao shouted, "Phase Shift!"

The staff immediately turned into a sharp arrow, which pierced through the air with great force and accurately passed through the killer's stunned eyes.

At the same time, the archer at the alley had just put the second arrow on the bowstring when he suddenly found that the arrow had turned into a thick and long staff.

Immediately afterwards, a big hand grabbed the staff, and Ye Xiao, who suddenly appeared in front of him, held the knife across the archer's throat and wiped it lightly.

Blood splattered and a stunned head fell to the ground. In just a moment, the two killers died at the same time.

When the mage, who was only disturbed by the fire for less than two seconds, regained his vision, Ye Xiao had already placed the bloody tip of the knife on his shoulder and chuckled, "I'll give you a quick death if you surrender."

Only then did the mage realize that his two companions were lying lifeless in two pools of blood at the end and entrance of the alley respectively.

He was horrified, his tongue trembling. In less than two seconds, his two teammates turned from being double-teamed from front to back into two corpses! ?

How...how is this possible!? ?

However, the wizard did not completely despair, because he looked past Ye Xiao and saw a dark shadow appearing under the two weak girls in the alley below.

Just as Ye Xiao was thinking about where to cut in order to make the wizard speak, a sarcastic shout suddenly came to his ears.
