As soon as that translucent figure appeared, everyone's hearts ran cold. Their bodies felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their souls stiffened, and their consciousness blurred.
Especially Luo Bing and Luo Ning, who felt as if their bloodlines had stopped flowing.
"You're quite skilled. No wonder Di Qing died at your hands. But your bloodline has sealed your fate." A cold voice came from that transparent figure. As soon as he landed, he had already vanished.
"You must be the Ying Tian he mentioned, right? Your tone is quite loud. If you have that ability, I'd be happy to see my ending. Facing
the disappearing transparent figure, Long Chen remained calm. With a cold snort, the wings of the Kunpeng behind him trembled, and his figure flickered.
"Sss!"
The void where Long Chen stood was torn apart by a strange sword. The weapon used by the life-hunting clan expert Long Chen had killed earlier was identical to the weapon used, except this sword's aura was countless times stronger than that of that person's.
The moment the void was torn apart, endless Heavenly Dao runes shattered. At the edge of the massive fissure, endless dust swirled, and the power of Heavenly Dao could not heal it.
This sword possessed terrifying destructive power, surpassing that of ordinary sacred weapons. The most terrifying thing was that this strike was just a light slash, carrying no force, yet it caused such a terrifying consequence.
"Dodging fast enough, if you can't dodge this sword, I wonder if you can dodge the next?" The voice sneered.
"Boom!"
The seven-colored divine sword in Long Chen's hand shot out, piercing through the void, but the sword hit empty air. In the shattered void, only a blurry figure could be seen.
Clearly, Long Chen's attack had deviated from the direction and failed to hit that figure. This made Long Chen's heart skip a beat. This guy was far stronger than the Life-Hunting Clan expert he had killed earlier. His movement was almost untraceable, and even his perception of the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique had become blurred.
Previously, at Lingxiao Academy, Long Chen was able to pinpoint the location of that Life-Hunting Clan powerhouse because his longsword was stained with his own blood.
Facing this terrifying assassin before him, Long Chen dared not let his sharp sword approach his body; one wrong move could cost him his life.
Although the two hadn't officially fought yet, the threat from Long Chen was enough to send chills down Long Chen's spine, indicating that this person was extremely dangerous.
"Boom boom boom... Long
Chen launched continuous attacks, shattering the void. Most of his attacks missed, and he could only occasionally see a blurry figure in the shattered void.
"Your speed is too slow, your perception too vague. Looks like I overestimated you." The voice sneered.
Long Chen's expression didn't change; instead, his eyes grew even clearer. He knew that person was deliberately trying to provoke him and make him lose his composure.
Sparring with assassins is extremely dangerous, like playing chess—one wrong move and there's no chance to turn the tables.
In fierce battles with assassins, strength often comes last; a sharp mind, clever calculations, a strong inner mind, and calm judgment are the key.
Although the old man had said that in the face of absolute strength, any scheme is nonsense, but when strength is equal, assassins' attacks are almost unstoppable.
An assassin can spot the enemy's weaknesses—this is the most basic skill. A skilled killer will create loopholes when the enemy has no openings.
Long Chen had previously asked the other party if he was Ying Tian, but the other party didn't answer. This was actually a psychological contest—whoever could put more psychological pressure on the other would have the absolute advantage.
The other party neither admitted to being Ying Tian nor denied it. If it were any ordinary strong cultivator, this suspicion would reveal a flaw.
"Ssshhh!"
A sharp sword silently stabbed toward Long Chen's back, but Long Chen ignored the long sword, slashing fiercely forward with the Seven Absolute Sword.
"Boom!"
The void shattered, and another sharp sword appeared. It turned out that the attack behind Long Chen was just a feint; the attack before him was deadly.
However, the attacks behind Long Chen—whether aura, pressure, the sound of tearing the air, or the deadly threat they bring—were enough to confuse perception. In the entire Dragon Blood Legion, except for Long Chen and Yue Zifeng, everyone else would fall for it.
Long Chen shattered the void with a single sword strike. That transparent figure flashed in an instant, as fast as lightning, giving Long Chen no chance to attack repeatedly.
The biggest reason for the fear of facing assassins is that they cannot use their full strength. Many powerful cultivators, when facing assassins much weaker than themselves, can only end up in despair.
Assassins defeat strong opponents with the weak, able to assassinate targets beyond their level, even two levels above their targets, because they can exploit the opponent's weaknesses. Once they do, the battle is basically over.
Long Chen's repeated attacks missed, but he remained calm and composed, showing no impatience. As long as he remained absolutely calm, even if he couldn't catch his opponent, they would never catch a single flaw.
In this state, you absolutely cannot rush. Otherwise, once your mind becomes chaotic, you won't be able to maintain sharp perception. If that happens, the opponent's deadly assassination will arrive, and everything will be over.
"Buzz!"
Just as Long Chen broke through the opponent's attack, a sharp sword suddenly appeared again on his left side. At that moment, a sharp sword also appeared on Long Chen's right.
Two swords stabbed from two different angles, moving almost identical speeds.
The moment the two swords appeared simultaneously, the Seven Absolute Sword vanished from Long Chen's hand. His left hand held the Flame Lotus, and his right hand held the Thunder Orb.
"We've been waiting for this time!"
With a sharp shout, Long Chen shouted as flames and thunder exploded simultaneously. With a thunderous explosion, two transparent figures appeared. People were horrified to realize that these two attacks were actually by two people, not one virtual and one real. If Long Chen had tried to defend as before, he would have already died.
The moment the void burst open, the power of thunder and fire overlapped, plunging the entire world into a sea of fire and heavenly tribulation. The sudden turn of events left the two figures nowhere to hide.
At the same time, flames and thunder intertwined into a wild domain, within which the two figures were coated with countless thunder and fire runes.
These thunder and fire runes seemed to take root on his body, countless tiny ripples piercing straight into his body.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, amid endless thunder and flames, two beautiful young women charged out, each charging at the two figures.
Behind Long Chen, the Kunpeng wings trembled as he immediately charged at Huo Ling'er, rapidly forming hand seals. The Seven-Colored Supreme Blood burned, and billions of Seven Absolute Swords appeared behind Long Chen.
"Let's see where you can escape this time. Supreme Blood Burns, Ten Thousand Swords Fly Together! With
Long Chen's shout, billions of Seven Absolute Swords gathered into a boundless sea of swords, giving the figure no chance to react and crashing away.
