The Legends: The Tale of Immortality
Chapter 8: The Ying (Death Shadow)

The innkeeper frowned but did not comment when he saw this sight.

A black shadow suddenly appeared on the moonlighted ground. Slowly, the shadows on the ground grew clearer until they resembled someone's shadow. A thin black silk waved in the air and the figure of a woman fell right in front of the inn door. The black mask covered her upper face along with the red lips that formed a beautiful arch. Her black dress fluttered in the air along with her hair. With just a single glance, one could tell that the face behind the mask was a pretty dazzling type of face.

The innkeeper looked at this uninvited guest figure with a smiling expression and said, "This lady, have you come to do business or caused trouble?"

The woman in black clothes looked at the innkeeper and smiled. His smile seemed alluring like a seductive demon.

"During time no see, Little Master."

The innkeeper had an adult body and seen from any side looked like a man who was 30–an. Called as 'Little Master', the innkeeper's expression twitched slightly.

"This inn seems to have a distinguished guest right? Your business isn't so bad today..."

A beautiful voice that carried a deadly gentleness, luring the stunned outer branch members stared at the figure of the black-clothed woman.

"Little Master, we are old acquaintances, so I hope you don't interfere with my business this time."

The innkeeper looked at the black-clothed woman and said, "I don't care about your business, but when these people are in my inn, they are my guests. If you want to settle things with them, do it when they're out of my inn."

The black-clothed woman shook her head weakly, but the tone of voice she released was very domineering, "No way."

After her words fell, the black-clothed woman shot forward like lightning.

The group of guards on the ground floor had long since prepared, especially the Guards of Guang Ming. When they saw the woman act, they instantly activated the formation.

A fierce battle instantly occurred in just a few seconds.

BaiLi Yun Lan stared at the battle scene below and the grip on her weapon tightened.

Looking at the battle situation below, the cultivation level of the black-clothed woman was clearly higher than those who were here. He was afraid that perhaps only BaiLi Yun Xiao could fight this black-clothed woman.

The members of the outer branch had also ordered their own guards to mix with the battle below.

The Guang Ming Guards that BaiLi Yun Xiao brought along along with the five BaiLi Yun Yi guards were at level 4, respectively. The five guards belonging to BaiLi Yun Lan were each at level 3.

With the strength of a group of level 3 and 4 cultivators were still unable to take down the black-clothed woman. Some had even suffered serious injuries, but the black-clothed woman still casually attacked as if she was dancing, not even her clothes bearing the damage.

The woman laughed softly when she saw dozens of guards joining the battle.

"Only a bunch of tier 2 trash dares to interfere? You're just looking to die."

The voice of the black-clothed woman was very gentle like a warm wind, but every single word that was spoken was cruel and insulting.

The innkeeper saw some guards badly injured and he felt his head start to hurt like it was about to split.

"Si Ying, stop it right now!"

Si Ying was a black-clothed woman who was fighting.

"You're kidding.today I must definitely get that fifth level cultivator! You can't even stop me!"

Si Ying's attack grew more ferocious and the pressure exerted instantly increased. The Guards of Guang Ming felt the weight of a thousand pounds fall on their shoulders. The group of level 2 guards instantly vomited blood and fell unconscious.

The guards of BaiLi Yun Yi had paper-white faces. Almost kneeled.

While BaiLi Yun Lan's guards were on the verge of collapse, it was barely able to maintain their consciousness.

Not only did the group of guards downstairs feel the pressure, the members of the outer branch who were each at level 3 also suffered even though they were not involved in the fight.

BaiLi Yun Lan had reached level 4 a few days ago, but her foundation was not yet solid. The pressure from Si Ying made his cultivation realm shaken. If it continued like this, he would probably return to the peak of level 3.

BaiLi Yun Hua's body trembled beside BaiLi Yun Lan.

BaiLi Yun Hua had a special condition. He had been secretly cultivating up to level 2, but the holy blood in his body could disguise his cultivation. No one was able to see his cultivation even Clan Head BaiLi.

Now that BaiLi Yun Hua was a small anchovy disguised as trash, it was impossible to withstand Si Ying's pressure.

So he should...

BaiLi Yun Hua suddenly vomited blood and his body swayed to the side.

BaiLi Yun Lan was startled and immediately restrained BaiLi Yun Hua who was about to fall to the ground.

"How are you doing?" baili Yun Lan asked in agitation.

BaiLi Yun Hua frowned, her face as pale as paper. When he opened his lips, blood would start to flow more and more.

"Alright, don't say anything!"

BaiLi Yun Lan was worried half to death when she saw BaiLi Yun Hua getting bloody when she was about to speak. How could he forget, BaiLi Yun Hua had no cultivation. BaiLi Yun Hua had four blood from different races flowing in his veins. It was fortunate that BaiLi Yun Hua was not a human, or that he might die from the pressure. BaiLi Yun Hua's physique was basically weaker than theirs, but it was still not weak enough to make him die this easily.

The innkeeper had a dark face on him. His body suddenly released a pressure equivalent to Si Ying. The pressure from the innkeeper endured the pressure that belonged to Si Ying.

Si Ying stopped his attack and looked at the innkeeper. His eyes flashed with a killing light, "Little Master, you won't be able to stop me."

"But holding you back shouldn't be a problem."

"No, you can't."

Si Ying's pressure suddenly increased again. This time the innkeeper looked at Si Ying with a look of disbelief.

"You..."

Si Ying smiled, "I told you, you can't hold me back."

The pressure that eased back increased and was even stronger many times over.

The guards of BaiLi Yun Lan and BaiLi Yun Yi instantly collapsed.

The members of the outer branch fell to the ground. Blood flowed out as their internal organs felt like they were squeezed.

BaiLi Yun Lan's breathing was irregular as sweat grew more and more. His body trembled uncontrollably, while BaiLi Yun Hua regurgitated a mouthful of blood. Her lips almost turned blue. The whole guy has fainted.

BaiLi Yun Lan could not stand it anymore and she called out in a trembling voice, "Young Master...Young Master."

BaiLi Yun Xiao's room door was completely open.

A charming figure in white robes with scattered hair, standing inside the room. The door of the room closed again after the figure came out.

The members of the outer branch were immediately excited when they saw BaiLi Yun Xiao come out. They stared at BaiLi Yun Xiao with shining eyes.

Si Ying looked at BaiLi Yun Xiao with an interested gaze. He had not expected this young man who possessed a tier 5 cultivation to be able to withstand his pressure.

Si Ying had reached level 7.

BaiLi Yun Lan looked at the young man who finally came out and his stiff body finally relaxed.

"Young Master..."

BaiLi Yun Xiao looked at BaiLi Yun Lan and BaiLi Yun Hua. His forehead shriveled when he saw the condition of the two people.

BaiLi Yun Lan had only reached level 4 these few days and her foundation was still unstable. This time he was completely forced to hard and sustained heavy injuries, if this continued, he would fall back to tier 3 which would affect his cultivation progress in the future.

BaiLi Yun Xiao exerted his thoughts and a bottle of medicine appeared in his empty hand. He crouched down and took BaiLi Yun Lan's pulse and sent out his spiritual energy to calm the chaotic energy in the woman's body.

In an instant BaiLi Yun Lan felt her body better and the pain slowly fading away was replaced with a sense of comfort.

"Eat."

BaiLi Yun Xiao handed the jade bottle in his hand to BaiLi Yun Lan then set his gaze on BaiLi Yun Hua who was clearly the most critical.

His body stiffened when he saw the boy's condition, then returned to its original condition a second later. His heart was so anxious that it almost shook his calm facade.

Grabbing BaiLi Yun Hua from BaiLi Yun Lan's hand, BaiLi Yun Xiao channeled most of his spiritual energy and attempted to pull the child from the sea of death.

BaiLi Yun Hua did not really faint, and he was not really injured either. Not only could his blood divine ability cover his cultivation realm, but it could naturally also help disguise the condition of his body.

BaiLi Yun Xiao was unaware of the peculiarity on BaiLi Yun Hua's body so his mind was completely muddled. If he didn't come out, would everyone be able to survive? If he did not come out, would BaiLi Yun Hua be able to sustain his life?

This time as the leader he had completely failed in evaluating the abilities of his own enemy and comrade!

But he has no other choice. If he came out early, then no one would be able to protect BaiLi Yun Yi. BaiLi Yun Yi's circumstances were the most vulnerable at times like these. If a slight mistake were to occur, BaiLi Yun Yi's life could be threatened. After all, the process of rising from level 4 to level 5 was different from the rise of lower levels.

When a cultivator rose to level 5, the body of such a cultivator would undergo a reformation. Muscles and bones will be strengthened to a certain degree. Strength, endurance, and agility will be strengthened many times.

He initially thought some people could still hold on much longer, but his guess was wrong. He had even nearly caused BaiLi Yun Lan to suffer damage to his cultivation, the people who followed him could be doomed, and BaiLi Yun Hua could just die.

BaiLi Yun Hua opened his eyes and BaiLi Yun Xiao's stiff expression entered his gaze.

"How are you feeling?" baili Yun Xiao asked.

"It's better, thank you for the grace of your help, Young Master." BaiLi Yun Hua replied.

BaiLi Yun Xiao did not reply, he handed another medicine bottle to BaiLi Yun Hua. After which, he stood up and turned his gaze to the members of the outer branch who were already pale and blood loss.

Several bottles of medicine appeared in BaiLi Yun Xiao's hands and each flew towards each member.

"Thank you Young Master."

BaiLi Yun Xiao turned his gaze to the woman who was at the root of the problem.

Si Ying smiled gently.

"So the leader of this group finally came out as well? I think I should slaughter some small fish to lure the big fish out...But it's not necessary."

BaiLi Yun Xiao no longer had the usual warm smile accompanying him. His expression was cold, even colder than Yue Qing Ye's frozen face.

"Why are you silent? Could it be that you are mute? Too bad.your appearance is quite beautiful, according to my taste, but it turns out you are disabled."

The Guards of Guang Ming looked at Si Ying with a strong killing gaze.

How dare this woman insult Young Master!

Si Ying smiled and looked at the nearby Guang Ming Guards, "Why are you guys looking at me like that? Careful.you may make me angry and accidentally take those eyes..."

BaiLi Yun Xiao's gaze grew colder. This was not the first time she had heard others praise her appearance and she was already used to this. But Si Ying's tone was indeed quite disturbing, plus Si Ying was disturbing his people right in front of him. This made him even more upset, "Don't touch them."

"So you're not mute?" Si Ying played the black silk in his hand and laughed as if insulting BaiLi Yun Xiao's sentence.

"What basis did you order me to? You don't have the ability."

"Whether I have the ability or not, Miss Si Ying (Death Shadow), the 27th member of the Assassin Association, has no right to insult my clan members."

Si Ying's gentle gaze turned sharp. His smile grew more beautiful.

"Your information is not bad. Well, it seems you've become more pleasant in my eyes."

"Young man, what if you follow me, hmn? You recognize the Assassin Association, so you definitely know what kind of organization we are. I'm sure you understand how the Killer Association's position in Luo Xing City is."

BaiLi Yun Xiao was not moved by Si Ying's proposal. His expression was even worse.

"don't want? Doesn't matter. My purpose today is more important. Young man get out. I don't think about killing you, so don't bother my business or I might have to hurt you."

BaiLi Yun Xiao did not move from his position, instead he raised the iron sword in his hand. BaiLi Yun Xiao's actions were undoubtedly the intention of the challenge addressed to Si Ying.

Si Ying narrowed his eyes and his gaze gradually became more dangerous. He did not finish his words anymore and directly raised his palm and struck towards BaiLi Yun Xiao. The destructive power was transmitted from Si Ying's palm and directly struck BaiLi Yun Xiao, intending to destroy him in a single blow. BaiLi Yun Xiao swung his sword in response without removing the sheath. Spikes of spiritual energy collided in the air with Si Ying's attack.

"How is that possible?" Si Ying's pupils contracted instantly. The attack he had just sent out contained 40% of his spiritual energy. How could a level 5 cultivator be able to withstand his attacks?!

The innkeeper was also stunned. He looked at BaiLi Yun Xiao in a different light. It seemed that BaiLi Yun Xiao was disguising his cultivation level. It was only fitting that he dared to face Si Ying. At least he should reach level 7! A level equivalent to Si Ying!

It seemed that this time Si Ying had provoked a difficult-to-play opponent.
