Chapter 560: Repairing the Heavenly Dao, Extra Points

Shadow Assassin—Yang Xuyan!
……
The moment Yang Xuyan struck, Kai Xin immediately recognized his identity. His unique silent killing style, his distinctive shadow sword techniques, and those cold, revenge-driven eyes all revealed him to be a disciple of “Evil King Shi Zhi Xuan”—a master assassin who excelled at targeting experts!
But this time, he had clearly hit a wall.
As the Demon Sect elder was wounded by Zhang Wuji, Yang Xuyan took advantage of Zhang Wuji’s distraction when the second Demon Sect elder appeared. Yet, to his surprise, the three youths from the Life and Death Realm surrounding him launched a lightning-fast counterattack!
The three of them had astonishingly keen senses and an innate awareness of danger, never relaxing their vigilance. Although the appearance of the Demon Sect elder briefly distracted them, they remained fully focused on the other source of unease looming over them—Kai Xin, Yi Di, and Silver Fox!
All three attacked at once!
“Yi Di” was the fastest with his swordsmanship. His black sword flashed out like a streak of black lightning cutting through the sky. One could tell right away if he was a master—Yang Xuyan let out a surprised cry, his gaze sharpening as he instantly changed his sword movement. The black sword shadow collided with “Yi Di’s” black lightning in midair, both disappearing silently.
Kai Xin and Silver Fox rushed at him simultaneously!
“Get lost!”
Yang Xuyan remained calm despite the shock. Though Yi Di’s strength surprised him and his plan to ambush Zhang Wuji failed, he didn’t panic. Standing tall in his black armor, he swung his sword with a flash of light, casting a dazzling black glow that repelled Silver Fox several meters away.
But Silver Fox wasn’t easy to deal with either! With a serious expression, he struck repeatedly with his Red Flame Palm from afar.
Yang Xuyan’s eyes flickered as he watched his sword’s power diminish significantly mid-air. Though it was just a fleeting moment, by the time the attack reached Silver Fox, it was no longer harmful.
His expression darkened as Yang Xuyan finally realized he had encountered two tough opponents. Though their internal energy levels were low, their strength was remarkable—no wonder his carefully planned attack had been detected at once.
Wait!
Yang Xuyan’s expression changed!
There was another one.
The three of them had targeted him at the same time—could the third person be as strong as them?
“Damn it!”
Yang Xuyan quickly turned around, but it was too late. Two palm strikes, built up for a long time, suddenly erupted as they closed in on him.

After performing the move taught by Xiao Feng, Kai Xin felt as if his body was filled with volcanic magma—a scorching force boiling wildly, desperate to find an outlet. Unable to hold back, he roared loudly and pushed out with both hands:
“Kang Long You Hui!!!”
A mighty roar!!!
The fierce dragon’s cry exploded in Yang Xuyan’s ears at close range—overwhelming and terrifying!!!
Yang Xuyan saw only a giant golden dragon charging at him. His pupils constricted instantly, and he reflexively raised his sword, a circle of black sword energy swirling around his hand.
Yet it still couldn’t withstand the overwhelming destructive power of “Kang Long You Hui.” With all of Kai Xin’s strength poured into it, the golden dragon pierced through the black sword barrier surrounding Yang Xuyan and violently penetrated his body. Yang Xuyan’s body trembled, and under the residual force, he was flung aside along with his weapon.
Boom!!!
It shattered several houses in succession, sending waves of dust into the air before gradually subsiding.
Such immense power made not only Silver Fox, Meng Yun, Lu Mingyue, and the others take a deep breath, but even “The Emperor” and the mysterious master from the magic sect present couldn’t help but avert their gazes, fixing them on Kai Xin’s pale face.
Crouching down!!!
Having succeeded with a single strike, Kai Xin sat down without hesitation and, under Silver Fox’s protection, began practicing the “Jinhua Jiuyang Gong” to restore his severely damaged internal energy.
“Kang Long You Hui” truly was the most formidable move in the “Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.” This palm strike doubled the damage output! It raised Kai Xin’s already terrifying attack power of over 11,000 points to nearly 20,000 points (excluding weapon attacks), dealing a devastating blow to the shadow assassin.
However!!!
The internal energy required for “Kang Long You Hui” was extremely demanding……
Just one strike reduced Kai Xin’s internal energy from 467 points to 267 points! He dropped from the life-and-death realm to the edge of the mysterious realm—just a little worse, and he would have fallen into the creation realm.
“Sigh……” While practicing the “Jinhua Jiuyang Gong,” Kai Xin smiled bitterly in his heart: “This move is indeed extremely powerful. After using it, experts of the same level can no longer use their own techniques, and even the effects of the ‘Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms’ diminish rapidly. When fighting an enemy, if you can’t kill them in one strike, it’s better not to use it. Otherwise, it’s hard to turn the situation around—at least not against top-tier experts like these.”
“What a great palm technique.”
After Yang Xuyan was knocked back and disappeared, “The Emperor” and Silver Fox didn’t pursue rashly. The former stared intently at Kai Xin’s figure, showing an expression of extraordinary excitement and surprise, expressing his sincere admiration.
Hearing this, Kai Xin smiled calmly:
“Mutual.”

If not for “One Emperor”’s swift strike, which drew Yang Xuyan’s attention, and then the Silver Fox approaching him dealing damage, Happy wouldn’t have had the chance to use the technique taught by Xiao Feng—“The Arrepentant Dragon.”
The coordination among the three was flawless!
“What was that palm strike called just now?”
“One Emperor” asked, still interested.
Happy was momentarily stunned but didn’t hide it: “The Arrepentant Dragon.”
“Good, ‘The Arrepentant Dragon’—its power is on par with my fifth sword, though it lacks speed a bit,” “One Emperor” said silently, muttering to himself, “Just now on the arena, I already grasped the sixth sword. I believe I’ll be able to master the seventh one in three months. By then, let’s have a proper fight to make up for today’s regret.”
“Great! It’s settled!” Hearing that “One Emperor” considered his “The Arrepentant Dragon” only equal to his fifth sword, Happy felt a hint of dissatisfaction. His fighting spirit surged instantly, and he replied without hesitation, “By then, Happy will surely fight to the death alongside you!”
“Good!”
“One Emperor” nodded seriously, showing a rare smile.
At that moment, the person fighting with Zhang Wuji was finally rescued by another elder from the Demon Sect and the two fled far away. Shadow Assassin Yang Xuyan, however, never reappeared in anyone’s sight.
Ding!
The eight people present heard the system prompt at the same time: “By uncovering the enemy’s location, repelling Yang Xuyan and the Demon Sect elder, and completing the mission of secretly protecting Zhang Wuji’s rear, you gain 1 point.”
Happy received the 1 point reward for this mission as desired. Adding the 5 points he had accumulated on the arena, he now had 6 points in total.
Just as he thought the mission was over, the system prompt sounded again:
“Severely injure Yang Xuyan! Receive an additional 1 point reward. You are now seen as a thorn in Yang Xuyan’s side by the Heaven-Punishing Dao master! The Demon Sect wants to get rid of you!”
“Zhang Wuji’s goodwill toward you has greatly increased, as has the goodwill of the entire Ming Sect. The righteous sects in the martial world regard you as a top young expert of the righteous path!”
The consecutive system prompts left Happy increasingly stunned:
This… doesn’t seem like good news!
