You guys are amazing!

Enjoy!

The assassin's eyes turned very serious. He knew he had failed his mission. For someone who hadn’t failed before like him, this was undoubtedly a joke. The only tainted spot in his life as an assassin.

The assassin had already estimated his own and Jiang Chen’s combat strength. It was like what Jiang Chen had said. If his sword art wasn’t deadly to Jiang Chen, he had no other techniques that could get rid of him. In that case, he should retreat.

*Swoosh*

The assassin’s body twisted and vanished into the shadows instantly. His ability to hide in the shadows allowed him to flee even if he couldn’t defeat his opponent.

“You want to run now? Too late for that, I have already sealed this entire spatial zone earlier in secret.”

Jiang Chen said coldly and stabbed at the air with his Heavenly Saint Sword.

*Keng*

A sword clashed with the Heavenly Saint Sword in the spatial zone, and the shadowy assassin was forced out of the spatial zone by Jiang Chen’s sword stab.

“How can this happen?”

The assassin was very shocked. He never thought that his opponent would have an ability that allowed him to immediately locate the assassin’s fleeing tracks.

In truth, if the assassin chose to run at the beginning, he probably could. However, Jiang Chen had now set a seal for the entire spatial zone secretly. No matter where the assassin was, his movement would be sensed by Jiang Chen.

“You have no chance to run anymore.”

Jiang Chen swung his long sword, producing endless golden lights with erupting murderous aura. He made a sway of his body and nine Jiang Chens appeared, then they all besieged the assassin.

Nine brilliant lights of sword shone on the nearby area and stabbed the assassin at the same time.

The assassin’s expression changed drastically. His vision blurred and was clueless on how to defend against this attack.

*Pu Chi*

Jiang Chen’s sword pierced through the assassin’s back. The assassin then spurted a mouthful of blood, changing the color of his black veil to red.

The assassin's eyes showed fear and despair. He finally understood why no failure was allowed as defeat equaled to death.

“You have offended the Dark Shadow, so you will die a horrible death. Next time, the Dark Shadow will send stronger assassins, and you will definitely be dead when that time comes.”

The assassin said with his back still facing Jiang Chen.

*Hong*

A surge of destructive force burst from the Heavenly Saint Sword, ending the assassin's life. Another Dark Shadow’s assassin was finished off by Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen pulled out his long sword and said with a plain tone, “Do you think I will stay at this grade when the next assassin come? You can send an infinite number of assassins to come after me, but they will all be killed. The Dark Shadow has offended me, it will be like last time in my previous life.”

Jiang Chen’s face was full of confidence. He was never once afraid that his enemy was too strong. The Dark Shadow would send a more powerful assassin each time, but Jiang Chen would gradually become stronger. The geniuses of the Dark Shadow were fated to be Jiang Chen’s objects for training and also his stepping stones towards his goal.

Jiang Chen lit a fire on the assassin’s dead body, burning it until nothing was left. As for the precious sword of the assassin, Jiang Chen would naturally want to keep it as it was a rare Emperor Weapon. Any sword that was used for assassination was always rare to the cultivators.

In the palace, Han Yan and Zuo Ling Er were still in the midst of absorbing the Nine Solar Lightning-Dragon pill when Jiang Chen came back. Although it was only half an hour, both of their Qi increased enormously.

“Why did you go off?”

Big Yellow asked.

Jiang Chen showed the assassin’s sword and swung it slightly in front of Big Yellow. This sword was abnormally sharp and carried a cold murderous aura. In one look, anyone would know that this blade was constantly stained with blood.

“The Dark Shadow’s assassin’s?”

Big Yellow and Tyrant exclaimed. They had seen the shadowy techniques of the assassin before, therefore, they immediately knew that the sword belonged to an assassin of the Dark Shadow.

“Are you guys talking about the legendary assassination organization?”

Sot Old Man joined the conversation quickly. Obviously, he had heard of them before, and feared such a scary organization who assassinated people secretly.

“That’s right, the Dark Shadow’s assassin wanted to assassinate me. Naturally, I don’t need to show them any courtesy. I've sensed the assassin’s Qi the moment we entered the spatial zone, the assassin didn’t reveal himself at the time and just hid in the shadows. I’m afraid that if the assassin struck during the time when Han Yan and Zuo Ling Er are absorbing the pill it will affect them. So I choose to draw the assassin out of the palace.”

Jiang Chen said.

“Seems like you killed the assassin.”

Tyrant smiled. He knew this because the sword was the proof.
