"Night Assassin?"
Bai Zhantang and the others were shocked. Night assassins were the elite of the Night Clan, born assassins with terrifying lethality and concealment abilities.
Although humans also have assassins, their basic talents are far behind them.
The Night Clan's powerhouses kill without a trace, earning great fame but also notoriety, because they will do anything for money.
As long as the price is high, they can help assassinate targets to counterattack the buyer—a classic case of value over people.
Night assassins also have their strengths. The mainstream assassins come from pure Night nobles with pure bloodlines, and their bloodlines and talents are truly astonishing.
In such a complex war, they not only had to hide their aura, but also evade the impenetrable dark monsters, and remain unnoticed. Even Bai Zhantang and the others couldn't see them, proving their terrifying strength.
Bai Xiaole's mother, because she had the Three-Flower Eyes and was fully focused, only then did she sense something was wrong from the slightest clues. She used her innate divine power and forcefully channeled her eyes to see their blurry figures.
At Lingxiao Academy, only Bai Xiaole's mother noticed something was wrong; no one else saw anything, but they all knew about Bai Xiaole's mother's divine arts and all looked shocked.
"You and Xiao Le are mother and son, heart to heart. Try using your eye technique to remind him." Bai Shishi's mother said.
"It's useless. The arena barrier isolates everything, even our Calico Eyes are useless." Bai Xiaole's mother said gravely.
"So what should we do? He had to find a way to warn them; in such a chaotic battlefield, it was easy to be ambushed and succeeded. Bai Zhantang was getting a bit anxious too.
The Night Assassins were no joke. Many older generations stronger than them would die at their hands. If Long Chen and the others weren't careful, they might lose their lives.
"Can we use the attack formation to warn Long Chen and the others to be careful? After all, Long Chen is so smart and should know we're warning him. Another deputy hall master suggested.
"No need,"
the Hall Master, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.
Hearing the Hall Master's words, everyone immediately felt much more at ease. The Hall Master's divine skills were profound; he said it was unnecessary, but it really wasn't necessary.
On the arena, Long Chen wielded the Minghong Blade, slashing down one strike after another. The blade shadows surged, slicing through the sky, and those terrifying dark monsters were slain one after another.
Now, the Minghong Blade was unmatched in sharpness, its blade energy soaring to the sky. Its aura was swelling wildly, and while Long Chen was slaughtering, it would enter another cultivation state.
Whether Long Chen slaughtered living beings or severed divine weapons, he gained strange powers, which he used to continuously strengthen himself and seek breakthroughs.
Now, its blade rang out like a thunderous blade, runes surged, and its aura was wildly released, resembling a cultivator breaking through a bottleneck.
Long Chen knew it was seeking a breakthrough. He focused all his heart and soul on it, giving it whatever it wanted. Long Chen knew that the Minghong Blade was now just one step away from an immortal divine weapon.
However, in this very short distance, the Minghong Blade had already broken through many times, but all ended in failure.
In the forbidden zone of life, Long Chen had slain countless dark monsters, but even after reaching the critical point several times, it still couldn't break through and was forced back to its original form.
Now, facing endless dark monsters, it began to break through again. Even after countless failures, it never lost heart.
"Buzz buzz buzz... More
and more runes lit up on the Minghong Blade. Long Chen couldn't help but feel delighted, because the runes that had previously failed to ignite were finally ignited.
Now, the Minghong Blade's aura surged dramatically, its cry shaking the heavens, already carrying a trace of the aura of an immortal divine weapon.
Although it hadn't fully broken through, in terms of human cultivation, it had already stepped halfway into the realm of immortal divine weapons.
In the words of a cultivator, it is already at the half-step immortal level, meaning a quasi-immortal divine weapon, just a little bit short of a true immortal divine weapon.
Just as Long Chen was immersed in ecstatic joy, a strange fluctuation suddenly came from the Minghong Blade, and he couldn't help but look in one direction.
As Long Chen looked in that direction, Yue Zifeng in the distance also sensed something, gazing toward a certain spot in the void.
"They actually sensed it at the same time."
Outside the arena, Bai Xiaole's mother, who had been worried about Long Chen, cried out in surprise. As soon as the Dark Night Clan expert approached a certain range of Long Chen, she was immediately sensed.
Bai Xiaole's mother was both surprised and delighted. It seemed her worries were completely unnecessary. What shocked her most was that Yue Zifeng in the distance sensed it too.
You have to understand, that Dark Night Clan expert was heading straight for Long Chen, far from Yue Zifeng, but still couldn't escape Yue Zifeng's sense.
"The perception of sword cultivators is truly astonishing. No wonder sword cultivators are the nemesis of all assassins." Bai Xiaole's mother couldn't help but sigh.
Sword cultivators are an unfathomable existence; their terrifying power far exceeds what people imagine.
Inside the arena, Yue Zifeng looked at Long Chen. Long Chen gave Yue Zifeng a slight smile, and only then did Yue Zifeng turn his head, as if nothing had happened, and continued teaching Mu Qingyun swordsmanship.
Long Chen continued slaying those dark monsters, as if he hadn't seen the man. However, when Long Chen and Yue Zifeng looked at him, the man sensed something.
He immediately stepped back, and the moment he did, dozens of figures around him retreated simultaneously.
At that moment, a mocking smile appeared at the corner of Long Chen's mouth. The reason he sensed them wasn't because of his spiritual sense, but because of the Minghong Blade in his hand.
At this moment, Long Chen's entire focus was on the Minghong Blade, feeling as if he were blind.
However, he could perceive this world through the Minghong Blade, and its perception was untouched by any emotion, making his perception even clearer than Long Chen's.
Long Chen's own spiritual sense usually only perceives things that are beneficial and unfavorable to him, while the Night Clan's talent is to deceive others' perception. Even though Long Chen possesses the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique, his perception is greatly diminished in front of the Dark Night Clan.
But using a blade as a mirror can see through the tiniest details. The Night Clan can deceive Long Chen's perception, but they cannot fool the Minghong Blade's detection.
It's not that weapon detection is more precise, but that its angle makes it easier to spot things that have been overlooked.
When he spotted the first Night Assassin, dozens of mysterious figures instantly appeared in Long Chen's mind. He knew every move he made with perfect clarity.
So when the first Night Assassin withdrew, and the others withdrew as well, Long Chen knew at that moment that the first person was testing his perception range, and then he knew what they were about to do.
"Whoosh."
Long Chen had just slashed out, killing a large group of dark monsters before him. Suddenly, a long sword silently stabbed toward his back.
"Since you're asking for death, I'll grant your wish."
Boom!
With a loud explosion, Long Chen's Minghong Blade suddenly burst forth with a radiant light stretching for miles, like a blazing sun in the sky, its immortal aura radiating across heaven and earth.
