Chapter 345: Chapter 342 Shadow Assassination Skill

"This kid is a master of soul power, Red Spider, be careful!"

Hei Sha stabilized his figure, his internal energy somewhat turbulent. Seeing the large number of poison spiders fall unconscious, he quickly warned Red Spider.

"You should have said so sooner. What’s the use of saying it now?"

With a dark expression, Red Spider couldn’t help but feel annoyed. This fool, not telling her such critical information earlier, had caused her to suffer a significant disadvantage right from the start.

However, this couldn’t entirely be blamed on Hei Sha. The attack had been too sudden, and the failure to ambush Ye Xuan from the start led to subsequent chaos.

Nevertheless, Red Spider and Hei Sha were both top-notch assassination experts. Even though their initial step was thwarted, their responses were extremely quick. Red Spider swiftly launched a dense array of poison darts from within her sleeves, piercing the air and shooting straight towards Ye Xuan like electricity.

"Great Demon Attack!"

Hei Sha struck out with both palms, his claws enveloped in a layer of dark light that seemed to tear through the air, disregarding resistance as it targeted Ye Xuan’s back.

The moves of both were extraordinarily eerie, aiming to kill without any hesitation, one from the front and one from the back.

"Full power, Dragon Desolate Wilderness!"

Ye Xuan didn’t even glance at Red Spider, but instead, he slammed another palm towards Hei Sha. This palm, like a ferocious beast unleashed by a flood, contained Ye Xuan’s full strength. In the blink of an eye, as Ye Xuan maneuvered his steps, he unleashed the palm strike.

Boom!

The twisted dark light hadn’t even touched Ye Xuan before it was shattered by the overwhelming force of the Palm Force. Under this terrifying power, it struck Hei Sha’s shoulder in almost the blink of an eye. The next moment, he was shot backward like a cannonball, and fresh blood spurted out from his shoulder.

This was despite Hei Sha managing a slight dodge. Had he not altered his move to evade in time, the blow might have hit his heart...

Pfft, pfft!

As Ye Xuan’s palm wounded Hei Sha, the poison darts at his back fiercely pierced into his flesh. Despite multitasking, Ye Xuan couldn’t achieve perfect precision. Facing two top assassination experts, anyone else likely would have died by now, even if they possessed the power of a Seventh Grade Demon King.

Still, out of the numerous poison darts, Ye Xuan was struck by only two, the toxins within quickly spreading and causing a numbing sensation in his back.

Across from Ye Xuan, Hei Sha retreated awkwardly several steps, hand covering his shoulder as blood continuously flowed through his fingers. His face darkened, not expecting that even with two against one, he would be injured so quickly.

"This little bastard..."

A trace of ferocity slowly emerged on Hei Sha’s face, like a beast revealing its hidden fangs, now showing its true nature out of annoyance.

Swoosh!

However, just as his roar ended, Ye Xuan’s figure had already dashed forward again like lightning. His dark eyes surged with a chilling coldness, and his tightly clenched fist punched directly through the air, mercilessly smashing into Hei Sha’s body.

Thud!

A deep sound echoed as the recently stabilized Ye Xuan’s body was shot back once again, finally slamming hard against a wall, causing half of the inn to collapse with him.

"How can this be? He was poisoned by me, yet he can still move so flexibly?"

Red Spider gritted her teeth. Ye Xuan’s performance constantly exceeded her expectations; this guy simply couldn’t be measured by ordinary standards.

However, her poison darts weren’t without effect on Ye Xuan. As the toxins erupted, Ye Xuan’s muscles increasingly numbed. Only because his bloodline and True Qi were exceptionally strong could he effectively delay the spread of the toxins, at least containing them for a while.

"Kid, the more you move, the faster your True Qi circulates, and the quicker the poison will spread. I want to see how long you can last. If it weren’t for Hei Sha having something I want, I’d almost regret killing you."

Red Spider’s gaze deeply scrutinized Ye Xuan, determined that no matter his capabilities, he wouldn’t escape today. She only needed to wait until the toxins inside Ye Xuan erupted.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan also slightly frowned. Red Spider’s deadly poison was indeed troublesome, like a bodiless bug that penetrated everywhere. Merely suppressing it with True Qi was not enough to keep it at bay.

If this continued, his True Qi would eventually fail to contain the toxins’ spread, which could potentially affect his entire body.

Snap!

At that time, Hei Sha, covered in blood, climbed out from the ruins. He looked extremely pathetic, and his breath was somewhat weak. Clearly, Ye Xuan’s ferocious methods had inflicted serious injuries on him. As a result, his malicious gaze was like he wanted to swallow Ye Xuan whole.

"Hei Sha, at this point, what are you waiting for? If you don’t use that move now, when will you?"

Red Spider looked towards the disheveled Hei Sha, her expression extremely solemn. Others might not know, but she knew that Hei Sha still had a move up his sleeve, a move not to be used lightly unless absolutely necessary. As one of the top assassins from Sky Demon Mountain, this final move was the essence of Hei Sha as an assassination master, the art of assassination itself.

"I don’t need you to tell me that."

Hei Sha’s face increasingly showed aggressive energy, and his voice sounded deliberate. His intent to kill Ye Xuan was slowly reaching an unsurpassable level. He clasped his hands together and immediately began forming a very strange hand seal, and at the same time, the demonic power in his body, as if sentient, began to flow through him.

The next moment, something unbelievable happened. Hei Sha’s shadow, as if it had come to life, let out a creepy laugh in the void, and then suddenly stretched forward, moving towards Ye Xuan with astonishing speed.

"Shadow Assassination Skill!"

Hei Sha finally played his last card, his shadow seeming to extend indefinitely, emitting "giggling" strange laughter. The shadow engulfed Ye Xuan, merging with Ye Xuan’s own shadow. Instantly, an intense killing intent filled Ye Xuan’s entire body.

"Danger!"

Feeling the imminent danger from behind, Ye Xuan reflexively moved his body. In his shadow appeared a dagger that suddenly thrust towards Ye Xuan’s back.

Puff!

The shadow dagger, seemingly intangible, actually penetrated Ye Xuan’s back, skin breaking and flesh bursting, with blood spurting out.

"Die, you little bastard!"

Seeing Ye Xuan wounded and bleeding, a nearly twisted smile emerged on Hei Sha’s face. He moved his hand seal again, and the shadow writhed once more, drawing another "dagger" and stabbing towards Ye Xuan’s back, leaving another bloody hole in his body.

"Well done."

Seeing this scene, Red Spider also showed a hint of contented smile. Ye Xuan had already been poisoned by her, and now he was entangled by Hei Sha’s ultimate Shadow Assassination Skill. In this way, no matter what, Ye Xuan couldn’t possibly survive any longer.

Sharp laughter continuously came from Hei Sha’s mouth. However, just as the shadow performed the third backstab, a gleam suddenly flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes. This time, the backstab did not hit Ye Xuan, but was dodged instead.

"Impossible, how could this be?"

Hei Sha’s expression shook, looking extremely incredulous. His Shadow Assassination Skill was a very peculiar and ultimate move, using his own shadow to hide inside the enemy’s shadow to attack, making it nearly impossible to defend against, for once a person moves, their shadow instantly mimics the same motion, and one cannot escape their own shadow.

This was the terrifying aspect of his ultimate move.

But yet, this third strike was dodged by Ye Xuan, which was now an undeniable fact.

"Such trivial techniques, how could I possibly always be hit, my shadow, how could you manipulate it, break!"

Ye Xuan steadied himself, and suddenly, his own shadow too writhed and split away from Hei Sha’s shadow. Finally, a powerful and invisible force erupted from Ye Xuan’s body, a soul power formed an offensive, striking at the shadow and completely obliterating it.

Puff!

As the shadow was eradicated by Ye Xuan, Hei Sha’s complexion turned even paler, spitting out another mouthful of blood. However, Ye Xuan’s condition wasn’t much better either. After breaking Hei Sha’s Shadow Assassination Skill, his own breath had also weakened significantly, and toxins in his body were silently spreading.

"Boy, you really are a monster, but unfortunately, you are destined to fall here today, it’s fate, you cannot change it."

Red Spider stared at Ye Xuan, whose resilience and performance somewhat frightened her. Such a person, if allowed to grow, would definitely become a monumental and earth-shattering existence in the future.

Now that he had become an enemy, he must be eradicated, and Ye Xuan was undoubtedly doomed to die today. Both of them, not just ordinary Seventh Grade Demon Kings, but top experts who had once killed Seventh Grade Demon Kings, and not just one.

"My fate, Ye Xuan, is not something you two can dictate."

Ye Xuan took a deep breath, then a burst of aggressive energy flickered through his eyes. He then extended his palm, where previously condensed was a Bloodline Crystal, now in Ye Xuan’s palm.

"Life and death, I’ve experienced far too much, this crisis, to me, is nothing at all."

Licking the dried blood on the corner of his mouth, Ye Xuan, in front of Red Spider and Hei Sha, directly implanted the Bloodline Crystal into his chest, tearing the flesh there, skin breaking and flesh bursting, looking extremely bloody, faintly revealing pulsating organs. A stream of True Qi mixed within the flesh, enveloping the Bloodline Crystal, and absorbed it into his body.
