Chapter 602: Are All of You Truly Just Here For The Show?

Feng Xiange chuckled dryly and stood up on wobbly legs. He rolled his eyes ardently and huffed, "If he were a just a single strand mightier, you all would have to go underground to be able to leave things to me!"

The fear lingered and it a heart-stopping moment earlier! He genuinely thought that his life was at King Yama's door and he had even made a round there….

Dugu Chou and the others laughed, despite knowing how dangerous the situation was for Feng Xiange just now. They hurried over to show their sincerity; Gu Chaliang produced a medicinal pill while Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou both stretched their arms out to cultivate and help Feng Xiange heal.

After some time, Feng Xiange heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, okay. It will be fine now."

He then painfully supported himself while retrieving a strange, snow-white bamboo tube. Upon opening the lid, a small, white snake slithered out and wrapped itself around Feng Xiange's hand fondly.

The other three were astonished to see that the tiny snake had instantly changed into the color of Feng Xiange's arm once it moved there, despite being snow-white when it first emerged. If they had not witnessed the initial appearance, they might not have been able to see that there was actually a snake on Feng Xiange's hand right now.

Feng Xiange fed the snake a tiny white pill and put the creature down beside the spot where Liang Canghai had spat blood out. The moment the snake landed, it changed its color to camouflage itself against the ground. It then returned to its snow-white color when it crept over to take a whiff at the blood, licking away at the crimson liquid.

Then, a line of red began to seep across the snake's white physique. The small snake raised its head and slowly twirled, the motion accelerating and finally spinning towards the direction where Mr. Nian and partner had left.

"Go," Feng Xiange said gently.

The small snake made a slow twirl. Suddenly, it uncoiled itself and vanished without a trace! It had completely disappeared. The speed at which it had vanished baffled the other three experts, disbelief reflected in their eyes.

"Done?"

"Done!"

Feng Xiange was composed. "My little snow white has never failed to track its prey in its life!"

The battle of the century outside Tiantang City was an earth-shattering event. However, no one else knew about it other than the six people involved.

Such a battle would have made significant ripples, and was not very far from Tiantang City; proficient cultivators should have noticed it. However, there was an equally massive battle that was happening in Tiantang City and it was still ongoing when dawn came.

As the only litigant who should have participated in this battle of the century but did not, Yun Yang observed the entire fight in Tiantang City as it progressed.

It was hard to predict the winner, as almost all of the Four Seasons Tower's experts were either dead or injured, while countless assassins had died as well. The corpses had formed a thick mound on the ground. Later, Hen Bieli and Hong Zhan, the legendary assassins, emerged personally to lead their experts, finally forcing the Four Seasons Tower's strongest combat powers out in the open. The battle thus entered its most extreme state.

Frost, Snow, and Sword, alongside the Four Seasons Tower's nine Dao realm cultivators, lunged like freed tigers, escalating the pressure on both Hong Zhan and Hen Bieli almost instantly. Based on individual cultivation base, anyone among the both of them, as well as the four assistants of The Merciless Tower and Hall of Crimson Blade, could easily take any one of the twelve people of the Four Seasons Tower. The assassins were not at a disadvantage when the combat power of both parties was compared.

Unfortunately, these calculations were somewhat skewed in practical battle. The Four Seasons Tower's twelve expert cultivators took their stance in attacking and did not set their sights on any particular target. This posed some difficulty to the assassins, tasked to take care of both sides while barely able to tackle the scene.

Both sides had full comprehension of each other's abilities. When the Four Seasons Tower initiated the attack, six of their experts had thrown themselves on Hen Bieli and group. They were not intending to defeat the assassin heads; as long as they could keep them occupied and entangle them in a fight, they would have no time to assist the others. As for the three Venerable Lords and the other three men, they assailed the group of assassins; a gory massacre ensued, gory as blood flowed and flesh flew.

For these six people to kill the assassins who were at least a realm away from they were in terms of capabilities, it was like releasing a tiger into a herd of sheep. The killers could hardly fight back.

Hen Bieli knew what his enemy was thinking, but the urgency still did not allow him to break free of this impasse. Resentful, he howled out loud, "Concourse of the Underworld! Are all of you really here just to watch the show?"

By saying this, he was practically admitting defeat to Concourse of the Underworld, and he would even owe them a huge favor. In addition to the concourse's previous grudges with the Four Seasons Tower, it made sense for them to work together and help each other out. The victory was only a short distance away; as long as a few people among the Concourse of the Underworld's ten Yama Kings did something to halt Sword, Frost, Snow and the other three, the assassins could strike and kill their opponents swiftly and annihilate the Four Seasons Tower while avoiding huge casualties.

This was a beneficial move for both the Concourse of the Underworld and the assassins in general; it was impossible that those from the concourse could not see it. There was no reason for them not to do it, especially after Hen Bielie's voiced-out request; it was basically a favor!

In spite of this, not only did Hen Bieli receive only silence after he had spoken, the wraith that had engulfed the sky disappeared hurriedly.

It had simply vanished!

Countless killers were so astounded that they forgot to fight.

What was going on here?

Witnessing this change, Hen Bieli and Hong Zhan felt their hearts run cold. The fury of being cheated and betrayed was set ablaze within them. The Concourse of the Underworld had come, but they had been stood up at this critical juncture!

They had not planned to help after all; they were only here to watch the show. The original plan was that they were here to watch them fight as a bystander, only raking in the advantage afterwards!

When they finally understood the situation, both head assassins almost combusted from fury. As the new generation of legends, since when had they, the killers, been fooled so badly?

As the killers were startled by the sudden turn of events, the Four Seasons Tower's experts had actually managed to seize the chance and grab on to the loophole, making the situation more critical than ever.

The assassin heads were apt experts after all. They recovered promptly from their shock and secured their positions. Their cultivation base was considerably higher than that of their opponents; otherwise, the upheaval would have meant the end of the game for them. Now that they had recollected themselves, they gained the upper hand swiftly. Their opponents were aware of this, shifting their strategy to the prior delaying tactics and not battling head-on with them.

Realization dawned upon Hen Bieli as he thought about it. Not participating in the battle was truly beneficial to the Concourse of the Underworld, as their overall capability was barely existent after being struck at by the Four Seasons Tower. They were close to extinction now, the reputation of being one of the best assassin organizations was no longer present either.

The Merciless Tower was the second greatest organization after the Concourse of the Underworld. Releasing the Dictum of Death, a major token in the world of assassination this time around, not only would the rankings of assassin organizations be rewritten if victory against the Four Seasons Tower was gained, it would be a problem for the Concourse of the Underworld to be listed even higher in the rankings!
