Chapter 798: A God-slaying Strike (III) (2/2)

Purson’s appearances finally made Shu Yongxiao halt for a moment. She just happened to stop below Purson.

In just a single instant, Cai’er could clearly see Shu Yongxiao completely change. Blood-red light sones in her eyes and afterwards, she shot up. What she accumulated finally erupted. It was killing intent!

In the attacks earlier, Shu Yongxiao completely behaved like an undead, without giving off any aura at all. Cai’er had even thought that she did not possess the killing intent a usual assassin would possess due to being an undead. However, she suddenly understood in that moment that it was not that she did not have killing intent. Instead, she had controlled the killing intent, preventing it from radiating outwards.

This was the first time that Cai’er had seen killing intent with such colour. Shu Yongxiao’s killing intent was black, pitch-black. As a result, in the moment she rose into the air, her entire body was covered by that blackness. Regardless of the angle, it was impossible to tell that there was someone like her in the air.

What was even more terrifying was that only Cai’er could sense the killing intent Shu Yongxiao was giving off. Purson was unable to sense it at all in the air, because her killing intent had become tangible like a solid. It was impossible to discover it unless it actually made contact with a person.

No, it could not be described as a solid, because solids could not change in shape. It was not liquid either, because liquids would not be so firm either. It was more correct to describe it as gelatinous.

Cai’er had stopped following Shu Yongxiao. She had never thought killing intent could be used like this, especially in such a terrifyingly powerful way.

Shu Yongxiao’s movements did not seem especially fast, but to Cai’er’s shock, Purson who had been unleashing the domain the entire time failed to sense Shu Yongxiao arrive behind him. He just continued to send his domain towards Long Haochen.

Shu Yongxiao finally launched her attack. In that moment, even Cai’er who had been constantly paying attention to her movements felt like something happened to the sky. Afterwards, Purson’s domain automatically dispersed in the air.

A smear of pitch-black shot by and Purson froze in his spot. He did not move at all, but his aura vanished at an astonishing rate. Shu Yongxiao had completely vanished now, such that even Cai’er failed to find her. In the moment she had launched the attack, Shu Yongxiao had vanished.

It was just too terrifying. Despite also being an assassin, Cai’er could not help but feel chills run through her body. At the same time, she grasped something special.

As an assassin at the seventh rank of the ninth step, Shu Yongxiao did not give off any aura or presence from the beginning to the end of her attack. Even when the Tree Demon God had been attacked by her, the demon army below failed to realise anything. Even Cai’er who had been constantly paying attention to her and was very familiar with the abilities of assassins failed to capture where she was.

With a god-slaying strike, the world fell silent.

Something finally happened to Burson. He suddenly began to fall to the ground and the aura of his life also vanished in the moment he began to fall. Even his demon god crown did not appear. It meant that in that moment he died his demon god crown had already been shattered.

It was also at that moment that a hand suddenly landed on Cai’er’s shoulder. Cai’er basically reacted immediately, sweeping behind her with his Sickle of the God of Death. However, it missed, while the hand remained on her shoulder.

“Sister Shu,” Cai’er cried out. In that moment, her heart was filled with admiration towards Shu Yongxiao, “You really are just too powerful.”

No one saw when Shu Yongxiao had appeared behind Cai’er. The red light in her eyes had completely dimmed down when she struck out earlier. She had just killed a great powerhouse who ranked twentieth out of the demon gods in a single strike!

“Cai’er, the attack earlier used up around half of my power. Tell me, did you see anything”

As she said that, Shu Yongxiao turned around and twisted with lightning speed. There was not a single demon left behind in the radius of fifty meters.

Cai’er said seriously, “I saw the true essence of assassins.”

Shu Yongxiao did not seem to be very satisfied with Cai’er’s answer. She followed up with another question, “What’s the true essence of assassins then?”

Cai’er’s eyes gradually lit up and answered as she stared right into Shu Yongxiao’s eyes, “Mysteriousness, certain kill and a single strike.”
