Chapter 530: Moonless and Windy Night (II)

Large, large areas of Dual Bladed Demons came to view, calmly resting in that place. They didn’t even realize that right above their heads, formless shadows were disappearing.

Sheng Yue was now a bit perplexed by what Long Haochen was doing. Originally, he was planning to folllow Long Haochen and Cai’er during the operation, but right after he announced its start, they just went off on their own way.

As the conductor of this operation, Sheng Yue obviously couldn’t follow them in that detour. He had to be responsible for all the powerhouses of the Assassin Temple, and left without a choice but to follow the other assassins in their dispersal, headed into the demon camp.

Just like the time the Knight Temple ambushed the demon camps, the demons were not prepared at all. Although the seven demon god pillars were already losing in power, they still had great scouting abilities. In addition, with the swarm of Dual Bladed Demons placed on the outskirts, there’s no way a surprise attack would not be detected. In their eyes, humans were cowards and these human powerhouses wouldn’t lightly dare to make a bold move. With the demon god pillars nearby, these tyrants’ strength was raised by over fifty percent.

After sweeping through the Dual Bladed Demons, they came accross dispersed lower ranked demons and Demonic Wolves.

Sheng Yue believed that at this rate, they would reach the heart of the demon camp while still hidden.

This demon camp had over a million soldiers in garrison. Most of the time, their total number even approached two million. Therefore, the size of the camp was only big enough for a small proportion of the large army. At the time of the attack, the assassins all dispersed which was why they weren’t afraid of going after same targets by mistake.

This demon camp had over twenty different races in it, which were all in slumberland since long ago. In the sky a few ripples appeared, where Sheng Yue’s invisible figure shifted. At this time, his strongest areaof expertise came to view: travelling while remaining totally invisible was by no way something everyone at the ninth-rank could do.

Sheng Yue observed the situation in the camp: the demons of all twenty races were scattered about in sleep. This camp could still be regarded as large enough for the sleepers to spread out.

To an assassin, extreme prudence is a must-have during an operation, and this applies even when it is known that the enemy is much weaker. The ability of invisibility wears off immediately in case of attack, therefore it was no easy feat to dispose of enemies at the sixth step without a single sound.

In this part of the camp were gathered Demonic Wolves, but these ones were rather taller than ordinary ones, and had dark golden hairs. These were Demonic Wolves of commander class, whose strength varied between the sixth and the seventh step.

After a moment of thought, Sheng Yue’s figure flashed through, and appeared beside the outermost Demonic Wolf. His understanding of each kind of demon’s characteristics was really deep, he was thereby aware that their sense of smell was extremely good. For this reason, he paid extreme attention to not letting any trace of his smell leak out. Otherwise, even in dreamland, these Demonic Wolves of the sixth or seventh step would find out about his presence.

A thin black light flashed, causing the outermost Demonic Wolf to tremble slightly, before losing all breath.

Sheng Yue’s strike was steady, accurate and fierce. It aimed at the central nerve on its nape, and pierced straight through its entire brain. Such an injury was more than sufficient for an instant kill.

To avoid letting this Demonic Wolf make noise, at the time his dagger pierced the back of the Demonic Wolf, his spiritual energy spread out instantly, and locked him into a state of stiffness.

This whole process may sound simple, but at the time it was carried out, the spiritual energy on Sheng Yue’s dagger went through three transformations. This was known to assassins as the Tri-Transformation Sword.

Launching an attack, Sheng Yue’s figure came back into view. However, he was like a part of darkness, not only totally odorless, even the wolves eyes might not be able to distinguish him in the darkness.

The dagger was stealthily pulled away, and didn’t let a single trace of blood escape. Almost all weapons used by high level assassins would be imbued with poison, a poison called Ashes. In itself, it can’t be called a fatal poison, only, it will immediately close the enemy’s wound.

Because it is an extremely potent burning poison, it will, in case of contact with the skin, immediately produce an intense cauterization. The previous strike of Sheng Yue caused the enemy’s wound to cauterize completely, which is why there was no trace of blood leaking out. This was for the sake of keeping his assassination concealed. The flow of blood stopped totally, and for at least an hour, this Demonic Wolf won’t show any trace of blood from his seven apertures.

The Assassination Temple focused its researches on assassination, and there’s no way a legacy of several thousand years old could be simple.
