Xia Fei was very careful. As an expert of the Assassin Sect, Xia Fei knew just how powerful an enemy who could hide their presence to such an extent was.
This was the Law Realm, after all. Though the methods used by assassins were similar, with nothing more than concealment, getting close, and killing, one could not let one's guard down.
Xia Fei's Breath Control and Crafty Approach had all been modified by himself, and they were many times stronger than the original inheritance of the Assassin Sect. Xia Fei had no idea if these techniques could defeat an expert assassin of the Law Realm.
His strategy was very simple. Since the enemy was an assassin, Xia Fei planned to give them a taste of their own medicine. It would depend on who had the better cultivation, the more suitable strategy, and the more patient.
Like a nimble ape, Xia Fei attached himself to an unremarkable tree. This was the only path to the planet's core, and if the other party wanted to find him, they would definitely pass by here.
His divine sense set up several defensive chains around him, and Xia Fei nervously waited patiently.
"I'm still going to use the same old method. Lure the enemy out and kill him. How long will that take?" Oro questioned.
Those who had never learned the inheritance of assassins would find it very difficult to understand the importance of ambushes, but Xia Fei understood the mentality of an assassin all too well. Without a cautious mentality and sufficient determination, there was no way one could become an outstanding assassin.
A qualified assassin would never be fooled by false pretenses, for they wanted to kill in one strike!
Without absolute confidence, a good assassin would rather miss the opportunity to assassinate than act recklessly. In this line of work, mentality determined success or failure.
Only the most cunning and patient assassins could live longer.
Besides, the old demon lord had too much faith in Xia Fei's battle planning. It was true that Xia Fei had loved to set up traps in the past, and he had set up countless death traps to kill countless opponents.
However, this also depended on who he was dealing with. To a calm and experienced assassin, the risk of setting up a trap was far greater than setting up an ambush. Moreover, Xia Fei did not even know who his opponent was.
The risk always came from the unknown, and Xia Fei understood this very well. His harmless appearance had fooled countless enemies, and without exception, all of them had fallen prey to Xia Fei's blade.
Frowning slightly, Xia Fei ignored Oro and continued to carry out his plan. Xia Fei's stubbornness in this regard was simply amazing. Once he set his mind on something, not even nine bulls could pull him back.
Time passed, and the other party's actions confirmed Xia Fei's conjecture. That unpredictable assassin was in the vicinity, yet he had yet to appear in front of Xia Fei.
It was obvious that the enemy was experienced and extremely patient. Xia Fei was on full alert, prepared to fight to the end.
"You want to compete in patience with me? This is what I did when I first started my career! Xia Fei gritted his teeth as he thought to himself.
Outside the core planet.
The Bening brothers were very depressed, for they realized that Xia Fei was not as crazy as Netherless had described him to be. It had already been two hours, and Xia Fei had clearly discovered the Weeping Blood Golden Lion, yet he had not done anything. It was as if he had suddenly vanished, and no matter how hard the Bening brothers searched, they could not find a single trace of him.
Unless Xia Fei was also a very experienced assassin, there was no way he would be in such a difficult situation.
Beninso slowly opened his eyes, temporarily leaving the Blood Weeping Golden Centipede in Benindi's control.
"Are you sure that this person is just a warrior and not an assassin?" Beninso asked.
Netherless was startled. He had not expected such a question.
"I'm sure. Not only is he a warrior, but he's also the crazy kind. After all, the Skywing Clan is full of unreasonable lunatics. "Netherless gritted his teeth as he spoke. He was furious at the mere mention of Skywing.
"That's strange. Why do I feel like I've met someone in the same profession, and a very experienced one at that?" Beninso furrowed his brows as he muttered to himself.
How could they know that assassination was something Xia Fei had never done before?
Xia Fei was like a cunning viper entrenched in a treetop. Even if the Bening brothers tried for another hundred years, Xia Fei would still not budge. This was because he was not just an assassin but also an expert in assassination. He also had an indestructible willpower.
"Are you sure that he's just an early-stage Immortal King?" Beninso asked.
"I'm very sure. I've seen him in action with my own eyes. He's at most a level 7 Immortal King. "Netherless nodded.
After understanding all this, Beninso returned to his control and secretly communicated with his twin brother.
"What do you think?" Beninso asked.
"He shouldn't be someone in the same profession. The Skywing Clan always kills in the open. I've never heard of anyone learning how to assassinate. It doesn't fit their clan's brash style. Perhaps that person is very cunning and patient, hiding when he sensed that something was wrong." Benindi answered. "The longer we delay, the more vigilant the other party will be. The Skywing Clan specializes in speed. If he decides to leave the core planet to escape, there's no way we'll be able to catch up to him."
"There's an ambush outside. We're not afraid of him running," Beninso said.
"Even if Netherless kills him, it won't be our credit. It'll be very embarrassing," Benindi said.
Beninso hesitated, his mind wavering.
This was when Benindi spoke again. "The other party is only a level 7 Immortal King, so we're not afraid of him playing any tricks. We might as well show him what we've got. If he takes it, we'll take care of him. In any case, no one on the core planet will dare to use law power. We're absolutely confident in winning if we compete purely in martial arts techniques. "
"Okay! Then we'll let the Skywing Clan know what the true essence of assassination is! Don't think that you're amazing just because you're fast. Assassination is the most challenging technique in the world! "
As expected of brothers, Beninso quickly put aside his hesitation. The two brothers were determined to use the assassination techniques passed down in their clan to teach Xia Fei a good lesson!
Core planet.
Xia Fei was still calm, his heart beating at a steady pace. His entire being seemed to be one with nature.
Suddenly …
A figure appeared in front of Xia Fei. His footsteps were light and nimble, but his body was upright, seemingly completely defenseless.
'A chance! He's baiting the enemy! 'Xia Fei mentally whispered.
The Beninso brothers did not think much of Xia Fei, so they had used a baiting tactic. However, they had no idea that Xia Fei was an expert in assassination! Moreover, baiting was precisely the risky method that Xia Fei had decided to abandon!
They treated Xia Fei as prey, but Xia Fei did the same!
* Whoosh ~ *
Xia Fei shot out from the side like a bolt of lightning, not making a single sound as if he had descended like a ghost!
* Ah! *
The Beninso brothers had never imagined that Xia Fei would emerge from the side!
It must be said that they had been observing the side of the path for a long time, and they had never seen anything out of the ordinary. Based on the Beninso brothers' conjecture, Xia Fei should be hiding somewhere close to the ark shard. After all, that was the most complicated terrain, making it the best place to hide.
In contrast, there were several large trees to the side, and though they were vague, they were by no means the most hidden place.
Indeed, the side was not the most dangerous shelter, but who said that an assassin had to hide in the most secluded place?
Xia Fei had a deep understanding of how to hide, and the best place to hide was not the most chaotic place. This was because an experienced enemy would pay more attention to dark corners, which would make it easier for them to be exposed.
The best places to hide were the places that were not too hidden and were easily overlooked!
His lips curling into a strange smile, Xia Fei took out his Blood Crystal and slashed at the Bloodtear Golden Lion's neck!
The crimson blade whistled through the air!
The Bloodtear Golden Lion was, after all, an Emperor Realm expert of the Nighthawk race. It suddenly changed its footwork, twisting and turning, barely dodging Xia Fei's attack! The Blood Crystal's blade was less than a millimeter away from its neck!
Xia Fei was startled. First, it was because he could clearly see the ferocious appearance of the Bloodweeping Golden Mantis, and second, it was because the footwork it was using was actually similar to his Crafty Approach!
Assassin versus Assassin!
The former had to fight for every second!
Xia Fei used his Crafty Approach, desperately trying to tie down his opponent, but this was when the old demon lord was shocked to discover that this was a puppet! Moreover, it was a humanoid puppet made from an expert of the Nighthawk race!
After some thought, Oro decided not to tell Xia Fei this shocking news. This was because Xia Fei had already begun his barrage of attacks, and he had no time to care about a single word Oro said.
Besides, there was not enough time to tell Xia Fei that the other party was the Demon's Phantom Night Blade.
Whether it was a blessing or a curse, Xia Fei had to fight for it himself!
* Whoosh whoosh whoosh ~ *
Using his dazzling agility technique, Xia Fei and the Bloodtear Golden Lion engaged in an intense battle in this narrow space!
This was a contest of pure agility technique!
After all, the Ark fragment was nearby, and using law force could easily cause a huge explosion, and no one would be able to survive!
Even Furball and Peacock Blue were of no help, and no one could intervene in such a fast-paced attack!
"He's at the peak of Emperor rank!" The Bei Brothers saw through Xia Fei's true cultivation and exclaimed in unison.
'Damn that Netherless! He even said his opponent was a level 7 Emperor?!' The Bei Brothers thought that Netherless had deceived them and cursed in their minds.
There was a huge gap between Emperor rank and level 7 Emperor rank. The latter was at the intermediate Emperor rank, while the former only needed to stretch a foot to step into Law Emperor rank!
Little did the Bei Brothers know that Xia Fei was indeed a level 7 Emperor rank a day ago, and it had only been an hour since he reached the peak of Emperor rank!
Before this, no one had been able to use the Ark fragment to advance. On the contrary, people were very afraid of the fragment's existence, for the energy contained within was very wild and unstable.
However, Xia Fei could not only use the Ark fragment to advance, but he could also advance at the speed of light!
In the blink of an eye, the Bei Brothers were overwhelmed with work. Xia Fei's rank was much higher than Netherless's introduction, and his methods were even more frightening!
Xia Fei had painstakingly studied Assassin!
Divide! Stab! Hide! Seek! Pew! Each move was fatal!
Crafty Approach! Breath Control! Shadow Kill! Xia Fei had modified all three of his ultimate techniques, born out of the Shadow Kill technique, but much stronger than before!
He unleashed all his cultivation! Xia Fei surrounded the Bloodtear Golden Lion! He forced the Bei Brothers to the point where they could barely breathe!
Even without the Law of Primal Chaos, the Holy Beast Shatterstar, or the Immemorial Mystical Armament, Xia Fei was still a powerful opponent that could not be underestimated!
The Skywing Race was indeed more adept at group attacks, but the Bei Brothers had encountered the lone wolf of the Skywing Wolf Pack!
Did they want Xia Fei to have a taste of assassination?
Dream on!
