The dark shade on Xiang Shaoyun's face quickly receded. That was only something he had created by channeling some devilish energy to his face. As for the wound on his body, it had indeed been caused by the bewildering sh.e.l.l devil. However, it wasn't as bad as he made it seem. He had done all that to test Huo Xudong.
Huo Xudong had been cautious, but he had still ultimately exposed himself. Even so, he was in no rush to flee. Rather, he looked at Xiang Shaoyun calmly, showing no fear.
”You are a good actor. I hate backstabbers the most. Therefore, you need to die,” said Xiang Shaoyun murderously.
His entire body was radiating strength as the apparitions of a roaring dragon and a roaring tiger appeared around him. At this moment, he did not seem any weaker than a peak King. His aura was locked on to Huo Xudong, and he was confident Huo Xudong would not be able to flee.
Abruptly, he moved. He had fully mastered the moving like the wind stage and could enter the shrinking s.p.a.ce stage at any time. When he attacked, he arrived before Huo Xudong instantly, and his fist appeared out of nowhere before Huo Xudong's heart. This was a fatal attack. He had zero intention of sparing Huo Xudong.
Bang!
When Xiang Shaoyun's fist struck Huo Xudong, an indescribable power suddenly surged out, unloading the power of the punch as Huo Xudong lightly drifted backward like a piece of leaf.
”What?” Xiang Shaoyun was shocked.
He had not summoned any lightning bolts for that attack, but the punch was still as powerful as the attack of a peak King. It was supposed to be more than enough to inflict Huo Xudong with a heavy injury. And yet Huo Xudong was able to so easily dissolve the power of his punch. That greatly shocked him.
”Hehe, you won't be able to kill me so easily,” said Huo Xudong with a sneer before transforming into eight bodies. Each held a dagger in hand as they charged Xiang Shaoyun.
Phantom a.s.sa.s.sination!
Those who knew the Rat a.s.sa.s.sins well would be able to recognize this technique. This was a technique exclusive to them, a technique extremely suitable for a.s.sa.s.sination. One would not be able to easily distinguish which was the real body when under this technique's a.s.sault. This technique made Huo Xudong's ident.i.ty clear. He was an a.s.sa.s.sin from the Rat a.s.sa.s.sins. In fact, he was a high-level a.s.sa.s.sin in the organization.
”What a worthless trick,” said Xiang Shaoyun. With his Nether Soul Domain, he instantly found Huo Xudong's actual body and threw out a Lightning Bolt Fist.
Powered by silver lightning energy, the punch unleashed a might beyond the King Realm without even summoning any lightning bolts from the sky. Strands of silver electrical currents danced around the fist as a 100-meter-long horned lightning snake shot out of the fist, its mouth opened wide, its fangs bared.
Huo Xudong raised his brow. He had not expected that Xiang Shaoyun would be able to find his real body immediately. Left with no choice, he was forced to meet Xiang Shaoyun's attack head on. The two fists collided, and Huo Xudong borrowed the impact of the clash to withdraw a great distance.
”Goodbye, Brother Xiang. Let us determine a victor the next time we meet,” said Huo Xudong as he fled on his mount.
Xiang Shaoyun wanted to give chase, but the bewildering sh.e.l.l devil suddenly appeared from under the ground again. A ma.s.sive wave of soil and stones rose and crashed down on him. At the same time, a heavy gravity field formed around him, slowing down his movements.
”What a crafty person,” Xiang Shaoyun sighed.
When Huo Xudong fled, he had taken into consideration the direction in which the bewildering sh.e.l.l devil would appear from. The timing he had chosen to attack had been perfect as well. Xiang Shaoyun was given no chance to give chase. He felt a chill creeping up his spine at the realization of how calculative that Huo Xudong was. This was the person he once saw as a friend. He quickly tossed the thought out of his mind and focused on dealing with the bewildering sh.e.l.l devil.
