The killers from the Ghost Shadow Pavilion did not know how powerful Ye Chen's soul eye was. Although they felt a bit uneasy, they did not do anything. Plus, even if they knew about the power of the soul eye, there was no way out for them.
The duration of the soul eye was very short, so Ye Chen had to finish the battle as soon as possible. Therefore, the second he opened it, he threw out a sword attack toward the two killers not far away. It was the Gold Pattern that he had just learned.
Shoo! Shoo!
A couple of messy gold sword qi spread out like a pattern, and the two killers were instantly cut into pieces. There was no blood coming out from the wounds, as it was all sealed inside their bodies. This was the horrifying part of the Gold Pattern. The power only traveled in one line, and the power that leaked out was very little.
"Die!"
Ye Chen's sharp counterattack had made the killers from the Ghost Shadow Pavilion panic a bit. One of them, who had been hiding very well and was getting closer to Ye Chen, could not hold it in anymore. His body appeared from the crowd of black shadows. He had two ghost claws on his hands, which were shining with a dim light. Within a second, dozens of claw shadows had been shot out.
"Reverse Sky Thunder Cut!"
Ye Chen did not panic at all as he reached his left hand into his waist, holding his gold sword in a reverse grip. He threw out a sword attack, the dark blue sword light shining brightly.
Swoosh!
The claw shadow split apart, and a red line appeared on the killer's face. Blood poured out from the red line, and in the next second, his whole body was cut in half.
"Is he a human or a ghost?"
The rest of the killers saw this scene and started to panic for the first time. Up until now, they had not even touched Ye Chen, but he had already killed six of them. They were all ghost killers who had killed master level Sea of Souls Realm warriors before. But now, they had all been killed by Ye Chen, and they had not even found a way to kill Ye Chen yet.
"Do not waste time with him! Capture that woman!"
Finally, these killers understood that it was impossible to kill Ye Chen now. Only by capturing Murong Qingcheng would they have a chance. Even if it did not work out, they could still use Murong Qingcheng to complete the mission, since the mission was divided into two parts: one was to kill Ye Chen, and the other was to take Murong Qingcheng away.
Swish swish swish!
All the assassins from the Ghost Shadow Pavilion pounced on Murong Qingcheng at the same time. As for the black shadows controlled by the assassins who had set up the wizardry barriers, they surrounded Ye Chen and prevented him from helping. For a moment, Murong Qingcheng and Ye Chen were separated.
"Curtain of Darkness!"
Murong Qingcheng was not an existence that could be killed at will. The Curtain of Darkness could not stop the incorporeal shadows, but it could stop the assassins from the Ghost Shadow Pavilion.
Bang, bang, bang!
The sound of explosions rang out continuously. The assassins of the Ghost Shadow Pavilion were blocked outside the black barrier.
"Shadow Stab!"
An extremely powerful assassin from the Ghost Shadow Pavilion had a ferocious look on his face. He pierced through the black barrier with one strike, and his body flashed as he dashed inside.
"Little bitch, when I catch you, I'll take good care of you. If you want to blame someone, blame your sweetheart!" This assassin from the Ghost Shadow Pavilion was very afraid of Ye Chen, and this fear gave birth to ruthlessness. This time, even if he could not kill Ye Chen, he would make him suffer.
"How arrogant!"
Murong Qingcheng's pupils were vertical, which was the demon eye she had after cultivating the demon body. With the demon eye, she could see every move of her opponent.
Boom!
The two exchanged one move, and the assassin from the Ghost Shadow Pavilion had the upper hand. He changed his footwork, and the assassin turned into a wisp of black smoke, approaching Murong Qingcheng in a flash. His movement and flying skill were indeed unexpected. Even if Murong Qingcheng's speed was not any slower than his, it still gave the illusion that she could not block it.
Swoosh!
Two black shadows spread out behind Murong Qingcheng. They were not the shadows inside the wizardry barriers, nor were they the assassins from the Ghost Shadow Pavilion. They were a pair of black bat wings that were one meter long. The black bat wings stretched out from Murong Qingcheng's shoulder blades, and a wave of horrifying demon power spread out crazily.
"What!"
After missing his attack, the assassin realized that Murong Qingcheng had disappeared, and what was left was only a shadow. What was even more frightening was that because Murong Qingcheng's speed was too fast, her aura was still lingering on the shadow. No matter how good his eyes were, no matter how sharp his senses were, he would not be able to tell the real one from the fake one.
"Flying Assassination Cut!"
With the black bat wings on her back, Murong Qingcheng performed her profound sense martial art perfectly. It was obvious that she was not as powerful as her opponent, but she was still able to beat him. Looking from afar, this assassin was surrounded by Murong Qingcheng's shadows, which kept attacking the assassin in the middle. They were as fast as black shooting stars, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Being surrounded by so many black shadows, Ye Chen was not too worried, since he already knew about Murong Qingcheng's hidden power. For example, the demon eyes and the black bat wings. The demon eyes were formed naturally after training the demonic body, since the eyes were also part of the demonic body. Meanwhile, the black bat wings were Murong Qingcheng's special power. If Yuwen Ye's special power was the strengthening of defense, then Murong Qingcheng's special power would be the strengthening of speed, and this pair of black bat wings would be the key to that.
Ting! Dang!
Dang! From being at a disadvantage to having the upper hand, Murong Qingcheng's attacking power had increased drastically. Of course, it would still be impossible for her to kill her opponent within a short period of time.
"Let's go together!"
The rest of the killers from the Ghost Shadow Pavilion jumped up after the black wall disappeared. They turned into countless black shadows, trying to kill Murong Qingcheng.
Murong Qingcheng had fallen into a disadvantage again, and her route of movement was constantly blocked by the killers from the Ghost Shadow Pavilion.
"Break!"
A hundred steps away, Ye Chen crossed his two swords in front of him, breaking through the black shadow's blockade.
"Amaranthine Nature!"
A sword light flashed once outside of his body as Ye Chen caught a killer from the Ghost Shadow Pavilion and threw out a sword attack.
Swoosh!
There were not many people who could dodge the Amaranthine Nature, and it obviously did not include the one who had been hit by the sword.
"The Soul Eye is about to close!"
Feeling the pain in between his eyebrows, Ye Chen seized the last chance and threw out a couple of sword attacks. Dozens of messy gold sword qi spread out, killing a lot of the killers from the Ghost Shadow Pavilion. Only one killer from the Ghost Shadow Pavilion was still fighting against Murong Qingcheng.
Pap!
The Soul Eye had finally closed.
However, Ye Chen did not really need it anymore.
"Run!"
That killer from the Ghost Shadow Pavilion ran towards the edge of the barrier.
"Where do you think you are going?!"
Ye Chen followed closely behind him.
"Let's die together!"
Realizing that he could not escape, that killer suddenly turned around. Intense black light shone out of his eyes, nose, mouth, and mouth. He was going to explode himself.
Unfortunately, Ye Chen's sword was so fast that it pierced through his eyebrows.
After killing the last killer from the Ghost Shadow Pavilion, Ye Chen slightly relaxed his nerves. During this short period of time, he seemed to be very relaxed, but he was actually extremely tense. He did not dare to make a single mistake, because he knew that he was facing the best killer in the whole continent.
Abruptly —
A figure jumped out from the shadow of the rockery on the right side of Ye Chen. He was the leader of this group of killers, and was called the deputy leader.
"You will not escape death after all."
The deputy leader's face was full of joy. He did not expect that he would lose so many warriors to kill Ye Chen. Almost all of them had been killed. But it was all over now. At least he had survived and completed the mission. He did not care too much about the loss of his warriors. As an assassin, he would die sooner or later.
"Oh yeah?"
Ye Chen did not have enough time to dodge, and he could not even block out the attack. However, he still had enough time to activate his dragon power. The dragon power combined with his physical body covered his entire body. All of a sudden, a layer of white bone appeared on his skin. A light pressure spread out, and even the air seemed to have frozen.
Boom!
The second leader of the Ghost Shadow Pavilion had pierced through Ye Chen's protective Zhen yuan layer and landed on his chest. Even with the Gold Armor, Ye Chen would still be wounded badly. Once he was wounded badly, he would not be able to compete with the second leader of the Ghost Shadow Pavilion. However, with the protection of the dragon bone layer, he had only backed out for dozens of steps, and there was not a single wound on his body.
Three layers of defense: one was the protective zhen yuan, the second was the gold armor, and the last was the dragon bone defense. If Ye Chen was wounded, then it would be really strange. After all, assassins were not that powerful in terms of attacking power. What they studied was assassination.
"Impossible!"
The deputy leader was shocked. It was not that he had never seen prey with powerful defense before, but he had never seen one like Ye Chen. If all the targets had this kind of defense, then there would be no need for the Ghost Shadow Pavilion to exist anymore. After all, if he could not even break through their defense, then how could he assassinate them? Unless the target did not have any defense and came to him on his own.
"Gold Pattern!"
With the dragon bone defense, Ye Chen did not feel much of the vibration. Plus, because of the dragon power, his body was extremely powerful. His qi and blood only shook a little before returning to normal. Activating his zhen yuan, Ye Chen held his breath and waved out a sword attack. Dang!
Dang! Dang!
The deputy leader was very powerful, only slightly weaker than Ye Chen, and almost at the same level as Lin Tianmu and Yun He.
"Soul Extinguishing Wave!"
Murong Qingcheng appeared from the side with an extremely fast speed. She threw out her ace attack right from the start. The unique soul attack landed on the deputy leader's soul sea.
"Not good!"
Even though Murong Qingcheng's comprehension of the Soul Extinguishing Wave had not reached completion yet, it was still enough to make the deputy leader's face turn pale, and he felt dizzy.
"Die!"
This time, Ye Chen took care of the deputy leader smoothly. The scattered golden sword qi sliced him into pieces, sending his limbs flying everywhere.
"Mission failed! Back out!"
Seeing the deputy leader die, the forty-nine assassins who had set up the ward all stopped their attacks, dispelling the ward. They then ran in different directions, disappearing into the night.
"They sure ran away fast." Ye Chen did not plan to chase after them, since he knew about the rules of the Ghost Shadow Pavilion. There was only one chance to assassinate a target. Once the mission failed, there would be no more assassinations. Of course, there were some exceptions.
The black bat wings on her back flapped as Murong Qingcheng put them away and sighed, "If they had not run into us, they would have more than ninety percent chance of succeeding."
"There are always people who are not afraid of assassination, and we are one of them."
…
Time flew by, and half a month had passed.
Right then, news came from the pavilion as well. Out of the three materials, only one of them was in the hands of a rank 6 martial institution, which happened to be on the way to the Nine Dragon Mountain. Therefore, Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng left for the Nine Dragon Mountain immediately.
