Two sharp blades were thrust together simultaneously at Jun Wu Xie’s chest. She dodged and was about to retreat backwards when she discovered that several other dark robed men had surrounded her and was not giving her any space to run.
“Young Master Jun. Today you will have to leave your life behind here and even with your green spirit power level, it will not be enough to save your life. I would advise you to not stuggle needlessly and you will at least be able to die a quicker death.” The leader of the dark robed men saw that Jun Xie was already properly caught, and he immediately laughed out coldly.

Chapter 897 : “Assassination (3)”
Jun Wu Xie’s eyes narrowed slightly, not the slightest tinge of panic in her eyes. At the moment just before the swords was about to pierce her body, Jun Wu Xie raised her head and said in a cold voice: “Are you sure?”
The dark robed man was startled. He did not understand how the youth could still be so calm in a situation like this.
And at the same instant that the two sword blades were going to pierce Jun Wu Xie, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of Jun Wu Xie! The two blades gleaming coldly within the dim light thrusting straight at Jun Wu Xie were suddenly stopped by the newcomer with just two fingers holding each blade, unable to move forward another inch!
The dark robed men stared at the stern faced man who had suddenly appeared. They were sure that there had been no one else around when they entered earlier and the window was still tightly shut. Where had this man appeared out from?
“Your subordinate arrived here late. Young Miss, you need me to leave one alive?” Ye Sha gazed chillingly at the dark robed men in the room, his steely eyes glinted with murder.
“Besides him, get rid of all the rest.” Jun Wu Xie said, pointing at the leader of the men.
“Yes!” Ye Sha immediately answered.
The black robed man was suddenly in a fluster, his tempo broken by the sudden appearance of Ye Sha. But he quickly recovered and he immediately said: “Kill them all!”
In an instant, nine dark robed men leapt at Ye Sha. Jun Wu Xie was put in a safe position by Ye Sha and no matter how hard the dark robed men charged, they were unable to break through Ye Sha’s lone man defence to carry out their assassination of Jun Wu Xie, unable to even get closer to her an inch.
The leader of the dark robed men saw two of the green spirits users among his men got their necks snapped off by Ye Sha quickly and a chill grew in his heart. All these men were highly skilled mercenaries that the Prime Minister had privately hired, and they had all been activated to embark on this mission because they could not afford to fail even once. But just who was this man who had suddenly appeared in the room?
Under a coordinated attack by so many green and blue spirits at the same time, he seemed to be holding all of them back with ease. What terrified him even further was that he had even managed to kill his men in such a overwhelming situation!
[Just how powerful was this man! ?]
[Was he an indigo spirit?]
[Impossible!]
[Definitely not just an indigo spirit!]
The dark robed man himself was holding the power of an indigo spirit. From the moment that Ye Sha had moved against his men, he had been able to detect that Ye Sha’s power was higher than his and it was not by just any insignificant amount.
[Could he possibly be a Purple Spirit?]
He was immediately shocked by his own guess but he had not been able to detect a single trace of spirit power from Ye Sha.
The dark robed man starting to panic as he saw another one of his men succumbing under Ye Sha’s moves. His heart flared with anxiety. If things continued like this, not would would they fail their mission, all of them would even lose their lives here!
He can’t afford to tally another moment longer!
The man’s gaze suddenly turned towards the spot the completely calm Jun Xie was. His eyes narrowed up and he immediately raised his sword to charge at Jun Xie.
Even if he had to lose a few more men, he still needed to get rid of Jun Xie!
His indigo hued spirit glow flared and the dark robed man struck out directly at Jun Xie’s vitals with all his power.
He strongly believed, that once Jun Xie was struck with the powerful strike from an indigo spirit such as him, there was no chance that he could possibly survive!
However, just as the man was closing in towards Jun Xie, Jun Xie’s eyes suddenly turned towards him. On that delicate little face, a cold sneering smile suddenly showed.
A strange feeling crept into the dark robed man’s heart, but he had already thrown out the strike and he had no time to think anymore about it!
“You are that anxious to seek death?” Jun Wu Xie’s voice rang out eerily.
Volume 9
Chapter 898 : “Assassination (4)”
The instant that the dark robed man’s sword was thrusting straight at Jun Wu Xie’s throat, the green coloured spirit glow around her body was suddenly replaced by a terrifying purple!
In a flash, the Purple Spirit glow spread throughout Jun Wu Xie’s body. She raised up a hand nonchalantly to grip onto the sword that was thrust directly towards her. With her spirit power wrapped around her hands, she was not afraid of the sharp edge around the sword. When the dark robed man saw the blinding Purple Spirit glow around Jun Xie, his eyes went wide with astonishment and disbelief. Before he could recover from the shock, Jun Wu Xie had given the sword a sharp tug backwards, pulling the dark robed man forcibly to come in close before her, a palm strike flew out, striking squarely right onto the dark robed man’s chest!
A howl tore out from the dark robed man’s mouth, his entire body struck to be sent flying through the air to smash right into a cupboard in the room, splintering the clothes cupboard into pieces. He then fell onto the ground in a twitching heap, unable to stand up anymore.
The bones in his body felt like they had all been crushed and the dark robed man lay sprawled on the ground as he struggled to lift his head up, looking on in utter shock at the brilliant Purple Spirit glow shining brightly from the entire body of the youth before him.
“Purple Spirit….. how can it be a Purple Spirit…..” Not in even his worst nightmares would he have thought that the assassination target for them today would actually turn out to become the Purple Spirit of legend!
[How can this be possible? This very youth had throughout the entire Spirit Battle Tournament, only shown his powers to be at the green spirit level!
A fifteen year old green spirit was already an unbelievable fact. And when you are talking raising the bar to have the spirit power level become the Purple Spirit…..
The dark robed man would never believe that such a Heaven defying mortal existed.
But the Purple Spirit glow around Jun Xie’s body was that blindingly obvious, and it was a fact that he could not deny however much he wanted to.
Holding the power of the indigo spirit, he had thought that he would be able to take down the green spirit Jun Xie with just one strike. He had never thought that Jun Xie would suddenly have his powers raised up to the Purple Spirit level!
Although it was just a difference of one single level between the indigo spirit and the Purple Spirit, but that lone difference was a chasm that countless people had failed to bridge even after spending their entire lives trying!
Very soon, Ye Sha had silenced all the other dark robed men. Scattered cross the floor of the room haphazardly were none dead bodies. And on those dead bodies without a single exception, there wasn’t a single open wound. Although a fierce battle had just concluded in there and nine lives had just been taken, there wasn’t the slightest scent of blood that contaminated Jun Wu Xie’s room.
Ye Sha stood sternly at the side, his hands hanging down on his sides, to stand right next to Jun Wu Xie.
“Not bad.” Jun Wu Xie swept her eyes over the clean and untainted floor. Seems like Ye Sha had grown to know her well. Knowing that she doesn’t like the smell of blood, he
had killed all the men without having them shed a single drop.
Ye Sha could have gotten rid of all of them in seconds, but in order not to taint Jun Wu Xie’s room, he had taken the extra effort to not let the men stink up the room with the nauseating stench of blood.
“It was Young Master Wu Yao’s orders and your subordinate doesn’t dare forget it.” Ye Sha said in a low voice. Even in a situation like that, he did not forget to help his Lord establish a sense of presence towards the Young Miss.
A strange look came into Jun Wu Xie’s eyes a moment but it was very brief before they quickly reverted to normal.
“Go get rid of the rest of them outside the door as well.” Jun Wu Xie said, her eyes looking at the dark robed man on the floor, unable to move anymore.
But Ye Sha replied: “For those men outside, I believe there is already no need for me to do anything.”
Ye Sha’s voice had just rang out when Jun Wu Xie’s door was pushed open from outside. With the door wide open, a thick stench of blood suddenly wafted into the room and Jun Wu Xie’s brows immediately creased up deeply.
Volume 9
Chapter 899 : “Assassination (5)”
Outside the door, it was dripping with blood everywhere. Blood red splatters filled the doors and windows, and the not too wide walkway was awash in a deep scarlet shade. Dead bodies lay scattered all over, lying motionless in disarray along the long walkway. Fully splattered all over with blood from the enemies, Qiao Chu was standing at the door grinning widely, waving his blood covered hands at Jun Wu Xie!
“The guys outside have already been…..” Qiao Chu started to say with a grin.
“Get out.” Jun Wu Xie said with a deep frown on her face.
Qiao Chu froze, his waving hand stiffened as it hung suspended in mid air.
Ye Sha gave a light cough and said: “Our Young Miss doesn’t like the smell of blood.”
Qiao Chu blinked his eyes blankly. He had not really noticed that point before.
Jun Wu Xie had not slept throughout the night and she had been frustrated with all the troubles she had on her mind. Now that the hateful bloody stench was filling up her room, how could she still be in a good mood?
“Maybe Young Master Qiao should go wash up a little first.” Ye Sha said, looking at Qiao Chu’s paws all covered in blood.
Qiao Chu immediately snapped back to his senses and looked at the creased up face of Jun Wu Xie, immediately shrinking his head down into his shoulders to quickly whoosh out of the room, closing the door tightly behind him.
Searching through the corpses and trying to find out something about the identities of the assassins, Fei Yan and the others turned to look at Qiao Chu who had rushed out in such a hurry, their eyes filled with query.
“Why have you come out here again?” Fei Yan asked.
Qiao Chu scanned his eyes over his companions who were not any much less covered in blood than him and said dejectedly: “I suggest for all of you to first go wash up and change into a fresh set of clothes before going in to see Little Xie. And….. ask the innkeeper to get people up here to clean up the walkway here. If….. there’s still anyone alive here that is.”
Rong Ruo had already gone down to the first level to take a look and had seen the waiter taking the night shift no longer breathing.
Fei Yan and Hua Yao exchange a puzzled look between themselves. Although the did not understand why Qiao Chu would say that, but they knew better than to probe further into it.
Two waiters had died in the Immortals’ Loft that night and the rest of the people who were resting soundly were spared the calamity. When the innkeeper was awoken by the shouting Qiao Chu, he was still completely oblivious to all that had happened. But when Qiao Chu dragged him to stand before all the dead bodies, the still half asleep innkeeper immediately came fully awake.
Despite the shocking horror he was feeling, he was trembling throughout as he sent out men to get the Immortals’ Loft cleaned up, and the corpses of the dark robed men were removed and put together in a pile behind in the backyard.
By the time Qiao Chu and the others had cleaned themselves up and changed into a fresh set of clothes, Jun Wu Xie was already sitting in the hall on the second level, and Ye Sha was holding up the only surviving dark robed man while standing on the side.
“Where are all these people really from? They all possess significant powers and the weakest one among them was at least at the green spirit level and there were even two indigo spirits.” Qiao Chu said laying back as he sat down on a chair, his head tilted as he looked at the barely alive dark robed man.
Fei Yan added: “I have inspected their bodies earlier and did not find anything on them that could prove or even provide a link to their identities. It looks like the person who sent them here had been well prepared.”
“Did this man reveal anything about it?” Rong Ruo asked as she looked at the unmoving man that Ye Sha was holding up.
Ye Sha shook his head and he stretched out his hand to lift up the dark robed man’s head.
With his head up, the companions were able to see that the dark robed man’s jaw had been dislodged by Ye Sha and the man’s mouth now hung wide open where he was not even able to make a single sound.
“This is…..” Qiao Chu asked, staring at the man in puzzlement.
“He wanted to kill himself by biting his tongue.” Jun Wu Xie said softly.
The dark robed man had a fiery temperament and knowing that he had failed in his mission, he did not struggle nor plead in the slightest, but had immediately tried to end his own life.
