608 The Black Bat Wings (1/2)

The killers from the Ghost Shadow Pavilion did not know how powerful Ye Chen's soul eye was. Therefore, although they were slightly worried, they did not do anything about it. Anyway, even if they did know about it, there was nothing they could really do.

The Eye of Soul could only last for a short period of time, so Ye Chen had to move fast. Therefore, the second he opened his eyes, he waved out a sword attack toward two killers that were not that far away from him. It was indeed the Gold Pattern that he had figured out not long ago.

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

A couple of beams of scattered gold sword qi spread out like river patterns, and next, these two killers were decapitated. Blood did not pour out from wound, as it somehow had all been sealed within their bodies. It was indeed why the Gold Pattern was so scary; the power was so intense and none of it leaked out at all.

”Go die!”

Ye Chen's sharpness had made the killers panic a bit. One of the killers who had hidden quite well could no longer hold back his temper, and his body revealed from the rest of them. He had two ghost claws which shone with dots of light. All of a sudden, dozens of claws slashed out of nowhere.

”Reverse Sky Thunder Cut!”

Ye Chen did not panic at all, his left had reaching toward his waist, holding onto his gold sword backward before waving out one sword attack. The ink blue sword light was extremely shiny.

Swoosh!

The claw shadow separated and a red mark appeared on the assassin's face. The next second, blood started to pour out of the red line as the assassin was separated in two halves, the edges blurred.

”Is he a person or a ghost?”

The remaining assassins saw what had just happened and started panicking for real. Until now, they had not even touched Ye Chen at all, and the latter had already killed six of them who used to be ghost killers targeting only Sea of Souls Realm master level warriors. However, their reputation had now ended in Ye Chen's hands. So far, they had not even come up with a successful method of killing Ye Chen still.

”Do not struggle with him! Use all your strength to capture that woman!”

Finally, these killers figured out that assassinating Ye Chen would be almost impossible at this point. Only by capturing Murong Qingcheng, they might have a chance. In the worst case scenario, they could use her to finish this mission since the mission itself was separated into two parts—one part involving killing Ye Chen while the other part was to bring in Murong Qingcheng.

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

All the killers from Ghost Shadow Pavilion jumped at Murong Qingcheng. As for those who did not have real bodies, they started to surround Ye Chen, stopping him from trying to save her. At that moment, she was forced to be separated from him.

”Dark Sky!”

However, Murong Qingcheng was not the kind of warrior who would just wait to be captured. Although her martial art could not stop the black shadows, it could effectively block out those killers.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Exploding sounds were heard.

”Ghost Shadow Stab!”

One of the powerful killers broke through the black layer of blockage with an evil look on his face. His body flashed once as his whole body made through.

”You little bit*h! Once I got a hold of you, I will teach you a lesson! If you want to blame someone, then you will have to blame your lover!” This killer was rather scared of Ye Chen. However, that fear slowly turned into aggressive anger. He decided that even if he could not kill Ye Chen, he would make his life miserable.

”How dare you!”

Murong Qingcheng's eyes turned into cat-eyes again; they were indeed the demon eyes from forming the spirit body. With those demon eyes, her opponent's movement was all clear in her vision.

Boom!

The two exchanged an attack, and the killer from the Ghost Shadow Pavilion got the slightly upper hand. He then changed his step art and turned into a beam of black smoke as he approached her. His fly art and attacking style was indeed hard to catch up with; even if Murong Qingcheng's speed was not slower than his at all, it still seemed to be rather hard for her to react on time.

Swoosh!

Two black shadows appeared behind Murong Qingcheng; they were not the black shadows inside the ward or the assassins from the Ghost Shadow Pavilion. They were actually a pair of thirty-meter-long black wings. They came directly from her actual bones in her back while a wave of horrifying demon power spread out madly.

”What!”

After his attack failed, he realized that Murong Qingcheng had disappeared out of nowhere, leaving only a broken shadow where she was standing before. What was more horrifying was that she was moving so fast that her qi could still be sensed on that broken shadow. No matter how great of an observer one could be, it would be impossible to tell which one was the real Murong Qingcheng.

”Flying Sky Assassinating Kill Cut!”

With the black wings behind her back, Murong Qingcheng had performed her profound martial art to its best. Even though she might not be as powerful as her opponent, she was able to beat him in her current state. From far away, this killer was surrounded by Murong Qingcheng's shadows which all continued to attack him at an extreme speed.

Surrounded by many black shadows, Ye Chen was not too worried, since he already knew about Murong Qingcheng's hidden power, such as her demon eyes and her black bat wings. The demon eyes were formed naturally after she had trained her demon body, since the eyes were a part of the demon body. On the other hand, the black bat wings were her special power. If Yuwen Ye's special power was to have a powerful defense, then Murong Qingcheng's special power would be extreme speed, and that pair of black bat wings would be the key to increasing her speed.

Ding! Ding! Dang! Dang!

No longer being in the weaker position, she now had the definite upper hand, with her battling power increasing drastically. Of course, it would be impossible to attack her opponent in a short period time.

”Let's go!”

The other killers rushed in the second the black blockage disappeared, turning into beams of black shadows and attacking Murong Qingcheng. Slowly, she lost her upper hand, having to scatter incoming attacks as she moved around.

”Break!”

A hundred steps away, Ye Chen crossed both of his swords in front of his chest, breaking through the black shadow blockage.

”Amaranthine Nature!”

The sword light flashed once outside Ye Chen's body as he grabbed onto a killer and threw out a sword attack.
