890 Supreme Emperor Dark Nigh (1/2)
Chapter 890 - Supreme Emperor Dark Night
”Quick, go help Duke Nanfeng!”
The silver-haired elder and company charged toward Duke Nanfeng's location with regret and panic. Due to the five peak Emperors from Nine Darkness Palace, everyone had forgotten about the guy who was breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm. They never would have thought that there would be an assassin other than Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo of Nine Darkness Palace.
”There's not enough time…!” Zhao Feng's heart jumped when he saw the scene in the underground secret chamber with his left eye.
At this moment, the mysterious male in darkness had already pulled out the sword from Duke Nanfeng's body, causing even more damage. Duke Nanfeng's injuries didn't bleed; a smelly black smoke appeared instead. It was obvious that the sword had a rare type of poison on it.
Zhao Feng felt regretful and partially blamed himself. Duke Nanfeng had given the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly to him to take care of, and it could've been a great help for Duke Nanfeng.
The main reason why Duke Nanfeng had introduced the other three Emperors to Zhao Feng was so that they could all protect the Duke's Palace together in case any accidents happened. In normal situations, no one would dare to take action against Duke Nanfeng on the surface, and yet this had happened.
In the underground chamber:
”You're the assassin ranked 29th in the Black Screen Corner, Supreme Emperor Dark Night…!” Duke Nanfeng's body swayed. His face was white as despair and bitterness filled his eyes.
”That's right, I'm Supreme Emperor Dark Night, but I'm now ranked 25th. Half a month ago, I participated in assassinating a heavily-injured Sacred Lord, so my rank has gone up.”
The male in darkness gave a confident smile. It was as if he already had victory in his grasp, and he gave an interested look toward Zhao Feng's direction after pulling out the sword.
Zhao Feng felt a sense of coldness and danger in that gaze.
”Get the assassin!” The silver-haired elder and the other Emperor were the first to arrive at Duke Nanfeng's underground chamber, but an attack had already arrived before the two could do anything.
Boom!
A half-transparent dark purple eye flame and an aura of God Tribulation Lightning thundered toward Supreme Emperor Dark Night.
”Argh!” The male in darkness gave a scream as his body shattered.
”What a powerful eye-bloodline technique!” The silver-haired elder and company all took in a cold breath, and they couldn't help but look toward Zhao Feng who hadn't even arrived yet.
The eye flame just now exerted great pressure on the two Emperors.
”Wind Lightning Eye Flame!”
Zhao Feng's expression changed dramatically after using his eye-bloodline. The sense of danger that Supreme Emperor Dark Night gave him was even above Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo's. How could he be killed so easily?
Hu~~ Shua!
A male with a pair of bat wings appeared in the sky far away from the Duke's Palace. He was surrounded in darkness, and surprise appeared in his eyes.
”Supreme Emperor Dark Night!” The expressions of the silver-haired elder and other experts of the Duke's Palace changed dramatically.
Almost no one had seen how Supreme Emperor Dark Night retreated or completed the attack.
”This Supreme Emperor Dark Night cultivates the bloodline sacred technique Eight-Winged Shadow Doppelganger technique and can split himself into several bodies, each with 30-40% battle-power of his original body. The one that has appeared right now might just be a doppelganger.” Duke Nanfeng coughed as his face became even paler. It was obvious that he had heard of Supreme Emperor Dark Night before.
”Zezeze, as expected of the Left Eyed heavenly Emperor of the Cang Ocean. However, you're also a target of the Black Screen Corner. My next target might be you….” Supreme Emperor Dark Night looked playfully toward Zhao Feng as his wings flapped.
Shua! Whoosh!
With a flash of darkness, the bat-winged male merged into the sky and disappeared. In terms of speed, Supreme Emperor Dark Night wasn't much slower than Zhao Feng at his peak, and he was even more agile.
”What a terrifying assassin. What kind of existence is the Black Screen Corner?” Zhao Feng's expression became solemn.
Although Supreme Emperor Dark Night wasn't a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord, his technique and bloodline had reached the limit of a peak Emperor; he had the battle-power of a Quasi Sacred Lord.
There was also a suspicious point – why did Supreme Emperor Dark Night leave immediately after one attack without finishing off Duke Nanfeng?
”Being one of the top assassins of the Black Screen Corner, Supreme Emperor Dark Night always leaves after one blow. I'm thinking that his mission was only to stop me from breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm, or else he wouldn't have left me alive.” Duke Nanfeng sighed.
”My Lord, are you okay?” The other experts and guards of the Duke's Palace arrived and blamed it on themselves.
Zhao Feng looked at Duke Nanfeng's injuries, and his eyebrows locked together.
”It is very likely that I will die, so I'll need to settle my will now….” Duke Nanfeng smiled bitterly as his aura became weaker and weaker.
”My Lord!” The hearts of those present shook as they revealed unwilling expressions.
Duke Nanfeng's injuries were expanding and rotting. More and more black smoke rose from his body. Duke Nanfeng wasn't able to stop this poison even with his strength.
”I was stabbed by one of the seven great inheritance weapons of the Dao of Assassination – the Sky Awakening Piercer. It contains the Black Fountain Poison of Black Screen Corner. This poison takes effect extremely quickly, and no one below the Mystic Light Realm is likely to suppress it unless they've cultivated an undying body or something similar, and even then, they'll only be able to live a little longer.”
Duke Nanfeng's aura of life was starting to fade away, and his gaze was starting to become empty.
Zhao Feng inspected it with his God's Spiritual Eye and saw that the poison was eroding the soul as well as the physical body. Even Zhao Feng felt troubled against the Black Fountain Poison. After all, he wasn't a doctor.
