Chapter 358 - 358 358 Dark Night Assassin's Tragedy First

Chapter 358: Chapter 358 Dark Night Assassin’s Tragedy First Chapter 358: Chapter 358 Dark Night Assassin’s Tragedy First Four Dao Spirits combined their strength to assassinate Jing Yan.

“Holy Spirit Sword Technique!”

“Sky Wings!”

Faced with the joint attack of four strong figures in the Dao Spirit Realm, Jing Yan was no longer as casual as before.

Indeed, Jing Yan’s current strength was stronger than many warriors in the Mid Dao Spirit Realm.

However, the four Dao Spirit Warriors he was fighting were not easy to deal with; each of them had a wealth of combat experience.

There was no need to say much about the Dark Night Gold Medal Killer, with his highly agile movement techniques and expertise in stealth assassination.

Every strike he made was extremely tricky and brutal, making it hard to guard against.

The two elders from the Wen Family, having stepped into the Dao Spirit Realm many years ago, possessed robust Primordial Energy and an understanding of Martial Arts that was incomparable to that of ordinary young warriors.

Now, Zhao Dangyuan, an old man, had joined them.

Zhao Dangyuan might have been the weakest among these four Dao Spirit Warriors, but he fought recklessly, putting all his energy into each attack, pushing his Primordial Energy to the limit.

These four indeed posed some difficulties for Jing Yan.

However, up until now, Jing Yan had not yet used the two Secret Techniques he mastered, Flash Spirit and Void Flame.

He relied only on Sky Wings and Holy Light Sword Technique, yet he was still able to hold his own against these four.

Sky Wings was too fast, and many of the attacks by Zhao Dangyuan’s group were easily dodged by Jing Yan.

“Jing Yan, we’re here to help you!” shouted Jing Chengye and Jing Tianying as they rushed over.

Jing Chengye and Jing Tianying, besides Jing Yan, were the strongest in the Jing Family, both being warriors at the Peak of Innate Realm.

Previously, they had stayed out of the fray, waiting for Zhao Dangyuan’s move.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Dangyuan had charged directly at Jing Yan, so naturally, they had to help Jing Yan against him.

“Clan Leader, you don’t need to worry about me; these four weaklings can’t kill me.” Seeing Jing Chengye and Jing Tianying approach, Jing Yan quickly shouted out.

Although Jing Chengye and Jing Tianying were strong, they were not at the Dao Spirit Cultivation level.

If they rashly joined this battle among Dao Spirit Realm powerhouses, they might not only fail to help Jing Yan but could also hinder him.

Thus, Jing Yan told them not to come over.

Hearing Jing Yan calling them weaklings, Zhao Dangyuan and the others were furiously maddened!

They, being Dao Spirit Realm powerhouses, were called weaklings by Jing Yan!

“Dreadful!”

“Jing Yan, are you sure?” both Jing Chengye and Jing Tianying hesitated.

Jing Chengye and Jing Tianying were not naive; they had their own assessment of Jing Yan’s battle situation.

They knew how tough Jing Yan’s battlefield was.

Their strength was still too weak, and rashly joining might not assist Jing Yan.

So, when they heard Jing Yan’s words, they immediately stopped.

“Certain, Clan Leader, you help others; take down a few more from the Zhao Family,” Jing Yan called out loudly.

“Damn it!”

“Die!”

“Little bastard, today I will tear you apart!” Zhao Dangyuan, his expression grim, surged his entire body’s Primordial Energy toward Jing Yan like a tide.

“That Jing Yan from the Jing Family, how can he be so strong?”

“Tell me about it, I can hardly believe my eyes!”

“It’s unbelievable; the Straw Hat Man turns out to be Jing Yan.

If I remember correctly, isn’t he just twenty years old?”

“A twenty-year-old warrior fighting four venerable Dao Spirits?”

At a distance, the onlooking warriors each held their breath, staring intently at the battleground.

Previously, almost everyone had thought that Jing Yan could not withstand the Zhao Family’s attack.

Today, the Jing Family was going to be annihilated.

But now, they suddenly realized that the outcome of this battle was uncertain.

Jing Yan, alone, was holding off four powerful Dao Spiritualists from the Zhao Family’s camp.

This was absolutely unexpected by everyone.

Even Family Head Zhao Dangyuan probably was not prepared for this.

One could only say that Jing Yan’s emergence and his strength were variables.

“Damn it!”

The Dark Night Gold Medal Assassin cursed under his breath.

“Patriarch Zhao, this mission has completely exceeded our agreement.

I apologize, but I have to leave now,” the Dark Night Gold Medal Assassin, while still fighting, said to Zhao Dangyuan.

He realized that even with the four of them combined, they might not be able to handle Jing Yan.

Continuing this battle, they themselves might end up dead.

He no longer wanted to be involved.

Although the Zhao Family had hired the Dark Night Assassin, the situation had clearly changed.

When hiring the Dark Night Assassin, the Zhao Family had not mentioned that there was a Jing Yan in the Jing Family Camp, a freak of nature.

If they had known that there was such an expert as Jing Yan, the Dark Night might have accepted the Zhao Family’s commission anyway, but they definitely would not have sent just one Gold Medal Assassin.

As his words fell, the Dark Night Assassin flashed, trying to exit the circle of battle.

Zhao Dangyuan anxiously watched the assassin’s figure flicker, bellowing, “How can you leave at this moment?”

However, the Dark Night Gold Medal Assassin paid no heed to Zhao Dangyuan’s roar and quickly retreated.

“Trying to leave?

Not so fast,” Jing Yan sneered coldly, “Do you think Donglin City is a place where you can come as you please and leave as you wish?

There’s no such good deal in the world!”

Jing Yan would not easily let the Dark Night Assassin escape.

“Flash Spirit!”

The Secret Technique was activated by Jing Yan.

Flash Spirit was a technique to enhance attack speed.

Jing Yan had not used it before, but now, suddenly deploying it, his speed drastically increased.

The Dark Night Assassin, preparing to flee, certainly did not expect Jing Yan’s attack speed to surge so abruptly.

Seeing Jing Yan’s sword light sweeping toward him, he subconsciously defended in the same rhythm as before.

But this time, he miscalculated.

The Holy Light Sword Technique, containing the Flash Spirit Secret Technique, was much faster than he anticipated.

“Boom!” When the Dark Night Gold Medal Assassin attempted to block this strike, it was already too late.

His body was flung away by a tremendous force, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

“Cough—” the Dark Night Assassin collapsed, landing several meters away, coughing violently.

Although Jing Yan’s strike did not directly kill him, it had caused him severe injury.

“Void Flame!” Striking while the iron was hot, Jing Yan did not pause, directing another attack at the Dark Night Assassin.

The Red Sword Light now contained a leaping blue flame, the Void Flame Secret Technique, enhancing the sword technique’s power.

“You still want to sneak attack me?” This time, the Dark Night Assassin, knowing that Jing Yan had a method to suddenly accelerate attacks, forcibly gathered his breath, temporarily suppressing his injuries, attentively watching Jing Yan’s movements.

This time, he was fully prepared.

If he could just withstand this strike from Jing Yan, he could then leave the battlefield.

It wouldn’t take long; just one breath, and he could successfully escape.
