Chapter 193: Chapter 90: Assassin’s Glory [Ask for Monthly Ticket!]_1

The dual swordsman left in peace.

...

Before he came to Wood Demon Mountain, he was determined to "succeed or die trying".

"Your current situation is very dangerous, this time you can’t afford to fail." The crow on his shoulder also put pressure on him.

"I know, this time I brought the Soul Suppressing Banner, I’m not going to fail again!" the dual swordsman stated firmly.

As long as anyone nearby is killed, the Soul Suppressing Banner will instantly absorb and suppress their scattered soul, refining it into nothingness within a short time.

It is a Demonic Path Magic Artifact that leaves no possibility of survival for its victims.

"Considering that he has been assassinated several times and somehow escaped each time, he must be aware of something happening." The crow said, "It was not easy for our inside man in Shu Mountain to give you this opportunity this time because the target has just advanced to Top Grade Golden Core. Only then did he subtly mention it to the people in Sword Exchange Pavilion of Shu Mountain, allowing the target to pick up another assignment. If you fail this time, he definitely won’t descend the mountain easily again."

"I know!" The dual swordsman frowned.

He responded to the crow’s rants with palpable impatience.

Enough with the talking, it’s getting annoying.

As an assassin who holds himself in high regard, this is the first time he has faced such repeated failures against a single target. What frustrates him the most is, he doesn’t know why he failed.

Just a disciple of the Third Realm, no matter what, he couldn’t possibly have any profound Divine Skills or practice any Immortal Law.

How was he able to resurrect every single time?

There must be some hidden secret.

The dual swordsman really wanted to capture Chu Liang and sternly interrogate him. But on second thought, it would be safer not to complicate matters and to strike as soon as he sees him.

Soon, he saw Chu Liang.

A raging fire was burning on Wood Demon Mountain, Chu Liang was escaping from the fire, placing all his Divine Thoughts behind him as if something was chasing him.

What a perfect opportunity!

Being a professional assassin, he keenly sensed this perfect chance. Without any hesitation, he immediately drew his sword and attacked!

A swathe of black light roared towards its target.

Whoosh——

One, two, three...

This was the third time he had cut the Shu Mountain disciple in half.

In the moment when the flesh separated, the dual swordsman prayed in his heart, hoping that there would be no more next time.

He unfolded the Soul Suppressing Banner, but there was no fluctuation.

A sense of despair rose in the dual swordsman’s heart.

Then, he faced the most embarrassing moment of his life.

All the surrounding towering trees turned into human forms. More than two hundred Tree Demons surrounded him.

Disaster has struck.

It’s an ambush.

The dual swordsman did not believe it was a coincidence. It was definitely a trap set by an enemy who had long detected something amiss!

Such cunning!

Facing the imminent target and a large group of Wood Demons, the dual swordsman made a decision.

As an assassin, he would never accept such a humiliating failure!

With his cultivation, if he were to escape right away, these Wood Demons might not be able to stop him.

But he didn’t run.

The dual swordsman asked, "Do you believe me if I told you that I was just passing by?"

While everyone was holding back their laughter, the dual swordsman suddenly attacked!

Whoosh——

The black light abruptly dashed towards Chu Liang!

Even if he couldn’t escape, he had to kill this target completely! He didn’t believe that a person could be killed countless times without dying, he was convinced this would definitely be the last time!

Even if he met his end, he needed to complete this task!

It was the honor of being an assassin!

But facing the swift black light, Chu Liang was extremely calm, a contrast to his previous panic.

You could see him raising a pair of hand gestures, and shouted: "Take this!"

At a glance, the dual swordsman saw a strong light suddenly burst forth from Chu Liang’s fingers, as dazzling as the sun in his hand!

Whoosh——

The golden light was extremely harsh to the eyes. The dual swordsman cried out in pain, feeling an instant burning pain in his eyes.

No wonder he shouted out loud, looks like you have to look at this attack to get hit!

This strong light not only hurt his eyes, but also interrupted his assault. In front of the sunlight-like glare, all shadows have no place to hide!

This was Chu Liang’s countermeasure.

While he was in the Guardian Hall previously, he asked Yuan Zhuo, how to deal with this "Black Light Shadow Slicing Secret".

Yuan Zhuo explained that this divine skill was extremely suited for assassinations from concealment. Fast and unexpected, it’s hard to guard against, especially when the opponent’s cultivation is higher. If one wants to counter it slightly, they could use the "Raging Sun Technique" to suddenly emit a strong light and disrupt the opponent’s shadow pull.

Though the Raging Sun Technique is a rather basic Divine Skill, it does not cost Chu Liang anything. After some studying, Chu Liang grasped the essence of the technique.

While it was simple, it was still quite effective.

This also made Chu Liang understand the importance of mastering various Divine Skills. For instance, Yuan Zhuo who has a multitude of Divine Skill Methods in his head, no matter what enemy he encounters, should be able to find a way to counter within a short time.

However, Chu Liang’s cultivation is still not as high as his. Even if he was able to block this shadow’s first attack, he still lacks the means to defeat him. If the two continue to contend with each other, he is still unlikely to avoid being killed.

But the Wood Demons surrounding him are not here for nothing.

They might not be able to deal with the Wing Fire Serpent, but they wouldn’t be timid when dealing with a sudden assassin.

Especially since Chu Liang had just earned merit for the Wood Demon Tribe, as soon as the dual swordsman tried to kill him, the group of Wood Demons was immediately angered.

Elder Qinghuai took the lead, shouting: "Take him down!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh——

Countless green vines sprung out from the Wood Demons’ long arms, instantly enveloping the figure of the dual swordsman.

He swung his dual swords, transforming into a black whirlwind, quickly cutting the long vines into pieces, incredibly fierce!

But within moments, a giant vine formed Azure Dragon followed the flurry of vines and swallowed the dual swordsman in one gulp!

Elder Qinghuai was making a hand gesture, directing the giant vine dragon in the sky. His clothes flapping in the wind, powerful and majestic!

Roar——

After swallowing up the Dual Swordsman, the Azure Dragon reared up toward the sky! Black light could be seen flickering within its body, and with every breath it took, strands of black light seeped out.

The Dual Swordsman was still trying to break out from inside!

His swords were incredibly sharp!

In terms of power, his cultivation was definitely superior to that of Elder Qinghuai, and the Wood Demons were not particularly adept at fighting. Despite their overwhelming number, they seemed unable to stop him due to the gap in their cultivation levels.

Seeing that Elder Qinghuai was unable to trap him, Chu Liang pointed to the sea of flames nearby and commanded, "Throw him in there!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Qinghuai waved his hands and flung the Azure Dragon formed from vines into the sea of flames!

Boom——

The Azure Dragon transformed into a Fire Dragon in an instant!

The flames created by the Wing Fire Serpent had two distinguishing features: they were intense, and they had strong adhesive properties. Anything that came into contact with them, even a rock, would burn for days until it was completely destroyed.

The Dual Swordsman, entrapped within, immediately realized something was wrong. The temperature around him surged drastically, with flames enveloping him. They intended to incinerate him! His body instantaneously became engulfed in flames!

"Ah——"

He let out a horrible scream, but being such a powerful cultivator, he surprisingly remained alive! As the Azure Dragon was left damaged and charred by the flames, he burst out in a flash of black light!

Just as he was about to leap into the air, two copper balls exploded overhead!

Boom boom!

Without hesitation, Chu Liang threw the two Mystic Yin Thunder Killers he had in his hands!

The explosion produced by the Mystic Yin Thunder Killers was tremendously powerful, and had a frightening blinding effect. The upward movement of the Dual Swordsman was instantly delayed.

In that momentary pause, numerous vines wrapped around him, and he was pulled back into the sea of flames.

Burn him while he’s tied up!

"Ah! I’ll kill you!"

The Dual Swordsman, severely wounded from the intense flames, felt his murderous intent magnify to an unparalleled dragon. It almost seemed to pierce the heavens!

His gaze fixated on Chu Liang, he unleashed all his remaining cultivation and transformed into a blade of black light!

Such a strong desire to kill!

Chu Liang felt the power of this sword attack from afar, causing a shiver down his spine. He inexplicably felt as if he couldn’t dodge it!

Was this the gap in their cultivation levels?

But how could he just stand by and do nothing? His sword suddenly surged upward as he attempted to flee!

Members of the Wood Demon Tribe around him formed one vine wall after another in an attempt to protect him. These walls were extremely strong. However, the blade of light that the Dual Swordsman had transformed into seemed to effortlessly tear through everything in its path, and in an instant, it had broken through dozens of vine walls!

The killing intent was evident!

If he couldn’t kill Chu Liang today, he wouldn’t rest even in death!

"Ah——"

Amid his almost hysterical howl, Chu Liang was finally cornered. He had managed to evade the pursuit of the Wing Fire Serpent, but he couldn’t escape the black light of the Dual Swordsman!

This sword, filled with the hatred born from the brink of death, was simply too fast!

Hisss——

Blood splattered everywhere.

The Dual Swordsman’s body fell to the ground in exhaustion.

His face had been burnt beyond recognition, with only one of his pupils remaining intact. He struggled to fix his gaze on the sight of Chu Liang being split in two and collapsing to the ground.

The Dual Swordsman displayed the smile of someone who had finally exacted his revenge. Having used all his strength to kill Chu Liang in the face of the Wood Demon Tribe’s attack, he was now completely drained. For now, he most likely had no hope of escaping.

But so what?

He had completed his mission and basked in the glory of an assassin.

"You finally died under my sword, hehehe..." Despite his gruesome injuries, the Dual Swordsman still managed to laugh crazily.

"Hehe..." Someone echoed his laughter, emerging from the forest in the distance.

"Huh?" Upon hearing this voice, the Dual Swordsman felt something was amiss. He turned to look and found Chu Liang walking out.

Why?

Was this an immortal body?

Impossible, I must be seeing wrong! The Dual Swordsman’s heart raced as he tried to rub his only functioning eye with his ash and blood-covered hands, struggling to decipher the figure in the distance.

No matter how much he rubbed, his vision only got blurrier.

"Knowing that your cultivation level is far higher than mine, and that you can kill in an instant, how could I dare to face you in my true form?" Chu Liang looked at the Dual Swordsman, followed closely by a Golden Fur Beast, and casually walked over: "You probably can’t move now, right? Why don’t you tell me why you wanted to kill me? I have no quarrel with you, so why are you targeting me? If you explain it well, I might consider sparing you."

That’s right.

The one who had come out earlier was just an avatar derived from the third golden fine hair clone infused with some magic artifacts.

Only now did Chu Liang reveal his true self.

"Hahahaha!" The Dual Swordsman suddenly burst into a loud laughter.

He stared at Chu Liang, and did not understand why, even though he was just a weak disciple who had just advanced to the Fourth Realm, his presence was overwhelming and felt like a Great Demon King.

Are there really people in this world who cannot be killed?

At this moment, he felt that his dignity as an assassin was completely shattered, including all of his persistence, stirring up boundless resentment in his heart.

"You want to know? I’ll never tell you! If I can’t kill you while I’m alive, I’ll haunt you in death!"

After saying this, he unbelievably pierced his chest with his own sword! His only way of maintaining his dignity was to commit suicide on the spot!

Hisss——

Carrying such resentment and bitterness, he was convinced that he would turn into a Fierce Ghost! To claim this brat’s life!

A trace of surprise flashed in Chu Liang’s eyes. He did not expect the assassin to be so resolute.

What he didn’t know was.

If he was facing someone else, the Dual Swordsman might not have been so desperate. But facing Chu Liang, his mind was completely clouded by hatred.

In his extreme rage, he was actually looking forward to his revenge after becoming a Fierce Ghost!

Immediately afterward.

The Soul Suppressing Banner moved the slightest bit.

His soul, which had just dispersed, was captured and held captive in the banner.

His last bit of hope of becoming a Fierce Ghost and enacting revenge was finally dashed.

The Dual Swordsman, with a knife in his chest, covered in scars all over like charcoal, with a face so distorted and ugly it would give one nightmares, hardly preserving any features except for a single bloodshot eye filled with deep-seated hatred.

Then he completely disappeared.

He died a peaceful death.
