Chapter 1157 (2/2)

Long Chen narrowed his eyes . This a.s.sa.s.sin had powerful combat skills . Was this supposed to mean that a.s.sa.s.sins who had reached this level no longer cared about the way of the a.s.sa.s.sin?

“No, that’s wrong!” Long Chen’s expression suddenly changed, and he shot to the side . But a sword still left a long cut on his back, causing him to feel a fiery pain . His flesh began to emit smoke . That sword was clearly poisoned .

“So your anger was just an act to make me careless . Not bad, you almost succeeded,” Long Chen said calmly as he sensed the pain on his back .

This a.s.sa.s.sin was skilled in scheming . All those words he had said and his expression of anger had been faked .

When he had summoned eight split bodies and then looked like he had gathered them all back, he had actually hidden one secretly . Just as he ‘erupted in fury’, he disappeared using a secret art to hide himself .

Normally, such a move wasn’t that useful . But just as he hid his true body, his split body launched an attack, drawing his attention, and then the true body would suddenly launch a sneak attack . He had almost succeeded with this .

Despite him being his enemy, Long Chen couldn’t help but admire his tactics . At the same time, Long Chen was shocked by his enemy’s ability to summon eight split bodies that had the same power as his main body .

“Die!” Two figures shot at Long Chen, their speed almost impossible to track with the naked eye .

“Don’t use the same move against me twice, it’s insulting . ” Long Chen smiled coldly and slashed his saber in front of him, blocking the two attacks . At this time, another sword appeared behind him, stabbing toward his back .

That sword had only just appeared when a lightning and a flame dragon surged out, blowing the sword and its owner to smithereens .

“Split the Heavens 3!” Long Chen suddenly flew into the air, and a huge saber-image viciously slashed down .

BOOM! Just as the a.s.sa.s.sin was shocked by the death of one of his split bodies, Long Chen launched such a vicious attack . His two bodies went all-out to defend, but they were still sent flying .

“Raging Flames Devour the Heavens!”

Flames filled the world, covering all the land and the sky . Several hidden figures had no choice but to reveal themselves, as this time, Long Chen’s attack was at full strength . He was no longer simply trying to block their vision .

In front of Long Chen’s full-strength attack, the a.s.sa.s.sin’s split bodies were no longer able to hide . Seven figures materialized in different places, revealing just how crafty the a.s.sa.s.sin was . Even during this intense battle, he had secretly summoned split bodies in preparation for killing Long Chen .

Suddenly, the flames vanished, revealing Long Chen holding a three-foot-wide globe of light . He coldly stared at the a.s.sa.s.sin .

“Star Fall!” The globe smashed toward the ground like a shooting star . When it reached the a.s.sa.s.sin, it exploded .

The a.s.sa.s.sin’s expression changed . He didn’t even have a chance to pull back his split bodies . He had to go all-out blocking this terrifying attack .

A wave of flames spread in every direction, even reaching Xuantian City . Fortunately, Li Qi and Song Mingyuan had long since made their preparations . They defended the city lord mansion with their earth energy, but the other places were instantly destroyed .

“Bloodshadow Kill Sword!”

As the flames filled the air, the a.s.sa.s.sin once more appeared . Now he was covered in blood, looking almost insane as he slashed his sword at Long Chen .

“Split the Heavens 3!” Long Chen had only just attacked when he suddenly realized something was off . The instant his saber touched the a.s.sa.s.sin’s sword, the a.s.sa.s.sin exploded . “Another split body . ”

Long Chen spread a pair of lightning wings and flew into the air . His Spiritual Strength spread, but he wasn’t able to find him . “f.u.c.k, he really fled fast . ”

Closing his eyes and using the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art’s senses, he could vaguely tell in which direction he had run . He couldn’t help but curse . If only Cloud was present, he would have never gotten away .

The a.s.sa.s.sin had come like lightning, and run like lightning . He wasn’t the slightest bit sloppy . He had even sacrificed another split body in order to give himself a chance to get away .

“Long Chen, how’d it go?” Meng Qi and the others rushed over . Long Chen had warned them not to partic.i.p.ate in his fight, because the Bloodkill Hall’s a.s.sa.s.sins were too dangerous .

“He got away,” said Long Chen helplessly . “What about your side?”

“We got them all,” said Tang Wan-er .

Long Chen had known the attackers’ ident.i.ty from the start . The only ones who could slip past Meng Qi’s spiritual net but be sensed by the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art were the a.s.sa.s.sins of the Bloodkill Hall . Furthermore, he had even sensed a slight familiarity, so he had been sure . And so everything had been arranged .

“Good . So I’m the only one who lost face and didn’t accomplish their mission . Beauties, please hold me and comfort little brother’s spirit!” cried Long Chen helplessly .

What he got in return was scolding laughter from Meng Qi and the others about how he was never proper, but it was Hua s.h.i.+yu who blushed slightly .
