Chapter 579: Ambush by the Demon Sect

After practicing the “Jiuyang Divine Skill,” Kai Xin’s spiritual perception became even stronger, and his reaction speed improved dramatically!
The moment he was attacked, he sensed two deadly threats targeting him at once. As he leaped off the horse, he found himself facing not just the disguised experts from the Demon Sect but also a lethal attack from behind.
The moment Shadow Assassin Yang Xuyan struck, Kai Xin’s hair stood on end, his body tensing like a giant bow drawn to full tension. As Yang Xuyan’s sword shadow neared his back, he emitted a sharp “snap” in the air and twisted his body in a bizarre and rapid motion—as if triggered by an invisible mechanism.
At astonishing speed, he broke free from Yang Xuyan’s sword aura. With a roar, he kicked Yang Xuyan hard in the hand holding the sword.
Unprepared, Yang Xuyan was sent flying several meters before he could steady himself—this was the first time Kai Xin had used the “Dragon Tail Kick” in front of others…
Yet, the crisis hadn’t ended.
The disguised Demon Sect expert clearly possessed the strength of an elder. By the time Kai Xin and Yang Xuyan exchanged a few blows, Yang Xuyan could only laugh dryly before pouncing like a ghost toward Kai Xin.
The attacks came one after another, creating a suffocating sense of pressure!
Though Kai Xin had just used a move, he remained calm. Without hesitation, he clenched his fingers and silently pointed at the approaching Demon Sect elder.
Bang!!!
The Demon Sect elder never expected that an ordinary disciple of the Murong family could counterattack after being attacked by two experts, even after the shadow assassin’s strike. A solid punch hit his chest, causing him to stagger. He immediately sensed an astonishing threat coming from the young man across from him.
Alarmed, he activated his protective aura without delay…
Thud! Thud!
Two fingers collided violently with the elder’s protective aura. The aura trembled violently, unable to fully withstand the immense force. The remaining energy shook the elder’s body, forcing him to take an involuntary step back. His eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
Just now…
He hadn’t even seen clearly how Kai Xin had attacked. Not only him, but also Yang Xuyan and many players nearby were stunned by this sudden confrontation and stopped to watch from a distance.
Countless gazes swept over the fallen figure outside the road, filled with sorrow and regret, while some showed schadenfreude.

Although the “Horse Shadow” is now possessed by more and more people, its price remains high, roughly equivalent to that of a regular vehicle in real life. Seeing the happy rider killed in an instant by a system NPC’s punch, many were shocked and also felt pain. Yet Happy reacted so quickly, as if he had rehearsed it in a movie script—leaping off his horse at the moment of attack to avoid disaster. What’s more exciting was that another even more skilled expert joined in the attack from behind. Damn it… What kind of guy could draw two such powerful experts to lay an ambush at once? But soon everyone realized something else: Happy’s rapid reaction and what followed exceeded everyone’s expectations. The two experts, clearly at the Wuwei realm, who coordinated their attacks from front and back, were both defeated one after another. “It’s Yang Xuyan, the Shadow Assassin!!” Seeing Yang Xuyan, who had attacked from behind the crowd, kicked several meters away, many recognized his identity from his appearance. Then, the scene of the Demon Sect elder being repeatedly pushed back made countless people gasp, and their attention finally shifted entirely to the mysterious young expert. “This guy isn’t a player, is he?” “Hmm, I think it’s possible… How could a player be that skilled?” The more they thought about it, the more they believed it must be so—otherwise, how could there be such exciting fight scenes like in movies? It must be a pre-rehearsed plot. “Who could it be? So skilled…” “In the Tang Dynasty, there aren’t many young experts stronger than Yang Xuyan… Without weapons, could this kid be Xu Ziling?” “He doesn’t look like him.” As the onlookers discussed, the three figures who seemed to be part of a plot task fell into brief silence after a lightning-fast exchange of blows. “So it’s the Shadow Assassin from the Flower Sect, Brother Yang Xuyan. May I ask your name?” After using a “Dragon Tail Swing” to thwart the Shadow Assassin’s surprise attack, Happy felt much calmer. The benefits of the “Jiuyang Divine Skill” in enhancing strength became truly apparent at this moment. Facing Yang Xuyan, he no longer needed to be as cautious and nervous as before. As for the remaining Demon Sect expert, Happy was confident he could break through his protective energy field in just three fingers and end him in ten moves… Yang Xuyan’s expression turned extremely serious and ugly.

His eyes were like ice flames as he stared intently at Kai Xin, scanning him from head to toe, before saying, “Truly worthy of being Kai Xin from the Murong family—the youngest and most handsome hero in the world today, the Blue-Clothed Man of Gusu. He indeed has some remarkable skills.”

Boom!!!

Hearing Yang Xuyan’s words, many players who had been speculating about Kai Xin’s identity and hesitating whether to get involved in the mission were stunned. Kai Xin? The number one expert among the renowned ones? It was actually him!!

No wonder then.

But…

Even more people became even more confused.

At the martial arts tournament, Kai Xin had displayed the “Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms” with incredible power and brilliance. But just now, aside from the first move being somewhat impressive, his actions to drive back the evil sect experts seemed as gentle as spring breeze and rain, leaving no trace at all.

Of course, they could still tell that Kai Xin was clearly even more powerful than they had seen at the martial arts tournament… Otherwise, Yang Xuyan, together with those evil sect experts, wouldn’t have shown such caution and wariness as if facing a great threat.

“Brother Yang, you’re still the same as before. Even now, you still hide in the shadows, attacking from behind, and this time you even brought help…” Kai Xin glanced coldly at that evil sect expert with a hint of sarcasm.

Yang Xuyan’s expression grew even darker…

“Don’t be too arrogant. It was also because you underestimated us. After all, you’re just a low-level disciple of the Murong family. No matter how skillful your moves are, how long can you last against us two top experts? Go!”

At the end of his words, with a command, the old man from the evil sect roared angrily. An even more astonishing force took the form of a huge black wolf head, letting out a thunderous howl as it charged at Kai Xin with overwhelming force.

“Just in time.”

Kai Xin laughed confidently!

He channeled strength into his feet, advancing instead of retreating. With exaggerated gestures, he swept his hands left and right, turning them into claws—in close combat, he feared no one.

The evil sect elder felt two sharp gusts of wind hitting him head-on. He didn’t even have time to dodge. His protective energy trembled violently twice before faltering.

In sheer shock, his momentum collapsed, and an astonishing vortex force scattered his attack.
