Chapter 1050 - 1050 25 The Worlds Top Assassin Gentleness

Chapter 1050: Chapter 25 The World’s Top Assassin, Gentleness [2-in-1] Chapter 1050: Chapter 25 The World’s Top Assassin, Gentleness [2-in-1] Blade light shimmered, rising abruptly from the ground.

Just like a condensed wave in the green sea, it directly met the black hand made of dark energy across from it.

In an instant, the blade’s radiance surged, and Blade Qi shot out vigorously.

The next moment, an uncanny and abnormal sign, beyond everyone’s knowledge, occurred.

The ever-expanding ball of dark energy suddenly halted in mid-air, showing no sign of further movement.

It looked as if it had been frozen by a sudden cold current.

The hundreds of hands, which had emerged from it, each directed at a target, caused everyone to be on their guard; but at that moment, all those hands froze in mid-air, remaining at the point where Chu Chu first visualized them, motionless.

Hmm, the scene that met everyone’s eyes was roughly like this:

As the black fog expanded rapidly, followed by the manifestation of hundreds of huge hands ready to launch an endless assault, Doctor Feng took the lead. He stepped forward boldly, with a long sword appearing out of nowhere in his hand, its blade flashing brilliantly, shooting towards the heavens with dazzling light.

Although the blade’s light was splendid, it only managed to block a single hand.

But what followed was peculiar, as everything came to a standstill: the long sword, flickering with cold light, resisted the giant hand, which then remained motionless in mid-air.

On the ground, Feng Yin held the long sword, standing deep and immovable like a towering mountain.

Both parties were trapped in stillness, or rather a standoff, with the sword light bright and clear against the massive dark energy.

In reality, this stillness lasted for less than the duration of three breaths, yet it was enough to astonish everyone present.

In high-level confrontations, the slightest difference could lead to a vast discrepancy. Among cultivators above Cloud Top, this isn’t just a figure of speech; it’s a precise reality. Even the difference of a snap of the fingers or a fleeting moment could be enough to determine victory or defeat.

Given everyone’s assessment of Feng Yin, he had barely entered the Cloud Top realm. But how could the mighty dark energy transformed by Blood Emperor Lei Tu be contended by a mere Cloud Top cultivator?

In everyone’s minds, this match should have ended with Feng Yin’s sword light being shattered on contact, utterly overwhelmed by the dark energy with no room for resistance, and even devoured completely, leaving not even residues behind. That would be logical!

Yet, reality deviated greatly from everyone’s understanding or, rather, their predictions. In this clash that lasted less than three breaths, the tremendous dark energy unexpectedly showed signs of faltering.

Then, all those extended hands retracted.

The dark energy, denser than ink, then boiled like a pot over fire in mid-air.

For a moment, countless human faces appeared within the black fog, each screaming in agony, seemingly in great pain.

And the dark energy that had been sliced away on the ground, transforming into a bloody mist that soaked the earth, again sent out faint wisps of dark vapor, swiftly gathering above the black fog in mid-air and forming new sections of dark energy that emitted eerie howls and screams.

The colossal black fog, constantly illuminated by the Blade Qi, not only struggled to resist but also showed a tendency to evade and flee, manifesting various mental states. Sometimes it stretched into stripe shapes under extreme tension, at times became polygonal, and at times it twisted and rolled continuously, always appearing in extreme agony.

Shortly after, the black fog began to fade gradually.

The onlookers, confused, had no clue what was happening.

Qing Ming raised his hand, stopping several people who wanted to rush up and help.

“Don’t go there just yet… Doctor Feng’s intervention seems very effective against this demon creature. If we intervene rashly now, it would be least helpful. Worse still, if the creature uses this opportunity to escape, that would be truly catastrophic,” he said.

“Exactly, exactly.”

All of them were veterans of the martial world, who understood the moment they were reminded.

They all raised their power levels, watching closely, ready to prevent the situation from falling apart. Even if they knew it was futile, should Doctor Feng suffer a defeat, they would still have to try their best to stop it.

Just moments ago, when the demon creature transformed into the massive black energy and escaped, Nine Colors Supreme and the old masters of various sects were utterly helpless, which was quite embarrassing.

They were even more anxious, knowing that the creature’s strength was beyond their understanding, and yet they had no countermeasures. That was their greatest problem.

Should it escape, it would not only be hard to find again but also risk being defeated separately, leading to endless trouble and deep-rooted disasters.

Luckily, Feng Yin stepped in to intercept, and while everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, they were still concerned that Feng Yin’s cultivation level was too shallow to ensure complete success, and they remained on alert.

After all, Feng Yin’s strength was just at the Cloud Top level, not even reaching the extreme realm of Cloud Top which had fallen easily to Blood Emperor Lei Tu.

But the reality was bizarre.

The demon creature, which had stumped even Nine Colors Supreme, was pinned in mid-air by a single strike from Feng Yin, and it also showed signs of gradually dissolving.

What was even more outrageous was that Feng Yin appeared extremely relaxed and in control, which shocked the onlookers even more.

Feng Yin, seeing that he had the upper hand, naturally displayed a heroic and domineering air with a sword in hand, leaping up as if he were about to fly.

But in his heart, there was only a relentless stream of curses.

This posture looks so heroic, so majestic, so domineering, so cool… but also, so tiring!

Yes, that’s right… so tiring!

Only he knew that despite appearing powerful and awe-inspiring, as if he were wielding the sword dominantly to confront the great black energy, in reality… he held nothing at all in his hand!

Because the nature of the sword was the same as the demon creature, it was essentially tangible yet intangible!
