Chapter 60 Xie Yan's Crisis?
Xie Yan had just flown outside the temple when she was hit in the face by a blizzard.
He spat several times, then looked down and saw a series of footprints heading west, not yet buried by the wind and snow.
It was clearly a provocation to Xie Yan: Do you dare to follow me?
But Xie Yan was someone who wouldn't listen to either soft or hard tactics. He immediately chuckled, then got up and leaped away in the opposite direction.
The group of people secretly waiting for him to walk into the trap: "..."
Watching Xie Yan's figure recede into the distance, the group became certain that he would not return. Thus, they could only bitterly abandon the trap they had painstakingly set up and hurriedly chased after him.
Xie Yan hadn't run far when he heard footsteps following behind him, just as he had expected, and he stopped.
He turned around, and sure enough, the five people, including A-Mo, followed him.
But these five people were clearly distinct.
Leading the pack was the burly man who had been feigning sleep, followed by the couple, and finally, the sheepish-looking A-Mo and the man in the straw hat.
The burly man cursed all the way: "I told you to just go for it, but you had to set some kind of trap. They weren't falling for it at all, it was a complete waste of my time!"
He was clearly cursing the husband in the couple, because the latter looked as if he had swallowed a fly.
Amo and the other person remained silent, simply following behind the three at a distance.
These five people don't seem to be a group.
They stopped in their tracks when they got close to Xie Yan, staring at her warily.
Xie Yan crossed her arms, a half-smile playing on her lips, and turned her gaze to the three people in front of her, saying, "Are you also assassins sent by Fengyun Tower?"
Upon hearing this, the burly man who had first stepped forward suddenly swung his meteor hammer, drawing two dazzling arcs in the air.
The two heavy meteor hammers flew up and down in his hands, wielding them with tremendous force, making others hesitant to approach.
His eyes kept scanning Xie Yan across from him, revealing an undisguised greed, as if Xie Yan possessed some kind of treasure.
He grinned, revealing a set of uneven, yellow teeth, and said viciously, "Stop talking nonsense! Hand over all the martial arts manuals you stole from various sects, or today will be your death day!"
Xie Yan narrowed her eyes, judging from his words that this man was not an assassin, but a treasure hunter who collected all kinds of treasures and rare items and sold them at high prices.
It seems that the news of "him" stealing secret manuals from several sects has really spread far and wide, and now even treasure hunters have come knocking on his door.
The man clearly had little patience; he didn't even wait for Xie Yan to speak before swinging his meteor hammer at her without a word.
He looked burly and strong, but his movements wielding the meteor hammer were exceptionally agile and nimble. In one leap, he appeared in front of Xie Yan and smashed the hammer towards his face.
Xie Yan remained expressionless and motionless, only slightly turning her head just as the hammer was about to strike his face.
"call--"
The hammer, carrying a sharp gust of wind, grazed Xie Yan's ear, the wind slicing off a few strands of hair near his ear.
Seeing that his first blow had missed, the man quickly swung his hammer again, aiming straight for the throat of the person in front of him.
But Xie Yan simply leaned back slightly and easily dodged the fierce hammer blow.
Upon seeing this, the man's eyes flashed with ferocity. He gripped the hammer handle with both hands, exerted force, and smashed it down towards Xie Yan's chest.
If she were hit, it would probably punch a big hole in Xie Yan's chest on the spot.
But Xie Yan seemed to be toying with him, her movements elusive, always managing to dodge the burly man's hammer by the slightest margin just before it touched him.
Unable to break through Xie Yan's defenses after a prolonged assault, the burly man grew increasingly agitated. His face flushed red, and with a roar, he wielded his two meteor hammers, unleashing a furious barrage of attacks on Xie Yan, displaying a reckless disregard for his own life.
"Oh no, we didn't expect this guy surnamed Xie to be even more powerful than we anticipated!"
The couple, who had been watching the fight, saw that the strong man was showing signs of exhaustion while Xie Yan was unharmed, and immediately realized that something was wrong.
They exchanged a glance, then called out to the burly man, "Old Kang! We're here to lend you a hand!"
Before the words were even finished, the couple attacked Xie Yan from both sides.
Strangely, neither of them was carrying any weapons; instead, they attacked Xie Yan by waving their palms.
Upon closer inspection, both of their hands were smooth, white, and soft, almost boneless. Judging from their appearance alone, they certainly didn't look like the hands of two trained martial artists.
Xie Yan keenly noticed this point; in his memory, there seemed to be no couple in the martial arts world who practiced palm techniques.
But Xie Yan's palm technique was even more extraordinary. He became curious about the two of them and immediately exchanged a palm strike with them.
The instant their palms touched, a powerful suction force suddenly erupted, and those two seemingly soft and boneless palms, like a deep vortex, tightly adhered to Xie Yan's palms.
At the same time, Xie Yan was surprised to find that the internal energy in her body was like a flood breaking through a dam, flowing continuously from their connected palms to the two of them.
Feeling the abundant internal energy surging into them, the couple simultaneously revealed greedy and ferocious smiles.
Xie Yan's eyes darkened. He hadn't expected that the couple practiced such unorthodox martial arts, which could forcibly absorb other people's internal energy and convert it into their own.
The three people seemed to be surrounded by an invisible barrier, from which powerful true energy continuously leaked out.
From a distance, this true energy looked like a raging fire, distorting and deforming the surrounding air due to the heat, and even causing the snow covering the ground to melt.
Amo stared in horror at the scene before her, suddenly understanding why the landlord had spent so much money to hire this couple. The evil arts they practiced were so powerful that even someone like Xie Yan couldn't defeat them.
The man in the straw hat beside her watched quietly for a moment, then let out a disdainful chuckle. "The number one in the Heavenly Realm is nothing special. Arrogant and conceited, he ultimately brought about his own destruction."
Without further ado, he turned and left, saying, "Let's go, he's doomed."
Xie Yan tried to pull back, but those two soft palms were like two sticky rubber sheets, firmly attached to his palms, making it impossible for him to break free.
Seeing Xie Yan subdued, the burly man who had been unable to break through her defenses for so long was overjoyed.
He grinned maliciously and swung his meteor hammer down towards Xie Yan's head, intending to kill her.
