The assassin's gaze turned incomparably dignified. He knew that he had failed his mission. For someone like him who had never failed before, this was undoubtedly a form of mockery, a stain on his career as an assassin.
The assassin had already measured the difference in strength between him and Jiang Chen. Just as Jiang Chen had said, if his assassination technique was useless against Jiang Chen, he would not be a match for Jiang Chen at all. In that case, he had to retreat.
Swish!
The assassin's figure flashed and instantly disappeared without a trace. With his assassination skills, even if he couldn't defeat Jiang Chen, escaping was not a problem.
"Running now? Is it too late? I have already secretly sealed this part of the void. "
Jiang Chen said Leng Leng. The Heavenly Saint Sword stabbed towards the void.
Clang!
Wherever the Heavenly Saint Sword touched, another sword collided with it. The assassin was forced out of the void by Jiang Chen's sword.
"How is this possible?"
The assassin was shocked. He didn't expect Jiang Chen's perception to be so strong that he could instantly find his escape route.
In fact, if the assassin had fled from the beginning, he still had a chance. However, Jiang Chen had secretly sealed this part of the void. No matter where the assassin fled to, Jiang Chen would be able to detect him instantly.
"You won't have a chance."
Jiang Chen swung his longsword, rippling with endless golden radiance. His killing intent soared to the sky. His body flashed, and nine identical Jiang Chen appeared at the same time, surrounding the assassin.
Nine incomparably resplendent longswords lit up the entire space, stabbing towards the assassin at the same time.
The assassin's expression changed drastically. For a moment, he was dazzled and didn't know how to deal with it.
Puchi!
Jiang Chen's sword pierced through the assassin's back. The assassin spurted out a mouthful of blood, staining the black mask covering his face.
The scene froze at this moment. The assassin's eyes were filled with shock and despair. It turned out that failure meant death.
"You have offended the Dark Shadow. You will definitely die a horrible death. Next time, the Dark Shadow will send an assassin with a higher cultivation. You are dead for sure."
The assassin said with his back facing Jiang Chen.
Boom!
A destructive force burst out from the Heavenly Saint Sword, shattering all the life force of the assassin and completely obliterating him. Another genius assassin from the Shadow Sect died tragically at the hands of Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen withdrew his sword and lightly said, "Do you think I'll still be at my current cultivation level when your next killer comes? No matter how many of you come, I'll kill them all. If the Dark Shadow provokes me, it'll be the same as before. "
Jiang Chen's face was full of confidence. He had never been afraid of his enemies being too strong. The assassins sent by the Dark Shadow were getting stronger and stronger, but Jiang Chen was also gradually getting stronger. The geniuses of the Dark Shadow were destined to become the targets of Jiang Chen's training and stepping stones on his path of advancement.
Jiang Chen set the assassin's corpse on fire and burned it into nothingness. As for the assassin's sword, Jiang Chen naturally put it away. It was a rare Emperor Weapon, and a sharp assassination sword was a rare treasure in the outside world.
Inside the palace, when Jiang Chen came back, Han Yan and the little girl were still working hard to refine the Nine Yang Les Rond Pill. Although only half an hour had passed, their auras had undergone tremendous changes.
"Where did you go?"
Asked Da Huang Dog.
Jiang Chen directly took out the assassin's sword and waved it in front of Da Huang Dog. The sword was abnormally sharp and carried an ice-cold murderous aura. At first glance, one could tell that it was a sword that was often stained with blood.
"An assassin from the Dark Shadow?"
Da Huang Dog and Tyrant spoke at the same time. They had seen the means of the assassins of the Dark Shadow, so they could tell that the sword in Jiang Chen's hand was from the Dark Shadow.
"Are you talking about the legendary assassin organization?"
Exclaimed the old man of Impermanence. Obviously, he had also heard of this terrifying underground organization and was very afraid of it.
"That's right. The people of the Dark Shadow wanted to kill me. Naturally, I won't be polite to them. When I entered this space, I sensed the assassin's aura, but the assassin didn't make a move. I was afraid that the assassin would attack Ah Yan and the little girl when they were refining the pill and affect them. That's why I left."
Said Jiang Chen.
"It seems that the assassin has been eliminated by you."
Tyrant smiled. Even the combat weapon was taken back by Jiang Chen. One could imagine the fate of the assassin.
"Offending this assassin organization is really not a fun thing."
The old man of Impermanence sighed. He couldn't see the slightest trace of nervousness on Jiang Chen's face. It was as if offending this organization was an incomparably easy thing, like playing a game.
In the entire Divine Continent, perhaps only Jiang Chen could remain so calm after being targeted by the assassin of the Dark Shadow.
"Looking at Ah Yan and Ling Er's situation, they should be fine in another two hours. Old man of Impermanence, go and guard outside the palace. If you see anyone, drive them away."
Jiang Chen said to the old man of Impermanence.
"Alright."
The old man of Impermanence turned and left. He was now a peak Sixth Grade Combat Emperor. As long as he didn't meet the terrifying existences like Li Long or Tan Zhi Bai, he would be able to defend himself. Even if he met the dark soul, the old man of Impermanence would be able to handle it.
Two hours later, Han Yan's Qi experienced a tremendous change for the first time. His surroundings were shrouded by terrifying black devil Qi. The devil Qi turned into black devil dragons that lingered around him. It was extremely terrifying. Han Yan's Qi began to rise gradually until it reached the peak of Seventh Grade Combat Emperor before it stabilized.
On the other side, Zuo Ling Er was doing the same. Her body was glowing with golden light. A surge of ancient force was as heavy as a mountain. She didn't want to lose to any man, she had reached the peak of Third Grade Combat Emperor. Although she wasn't as strong as Han Yan, it was still terrifying for a twelve year old girl.
The old man of Impermanence had spent a day and a night to refine the Nine Sun Les Rond Pill, but Han Yan and Zuo Ling Er spent less than three hours. This was the difference between an ordinary cultivator and a genius.
"Big brother, this pill of yours is too powerful. I can feel that I have experienced a tremendous change. This pill's effect is much better than the Emperor Elixir. It almost made me advance to the Fourth Grade Combat Emperor. It has strengthened my foundation and potential. It won't take long before I reach the Fourth Grade Combat Emperor."
Zuo Ling Er said happily.
"Me too. My foundation is much stronger than before. It won't take long before I break through to the Eighth Grade Combat Emperor."
Han Yan's eyes were glowing. The effect of the Nine Sun Les Rond Pill was much better than what he had expected. His whole body had undergone a tremendous change.
"En, increasing your cultivation grade is the most important thing, especially in the inner part of the Death Mountain. There are dangers everywhere. Only those who are strong enough can survive. Let's leave this place and continue to search for treasures in other places."
Jiang Chen said.
The old man of Impermanence was still guarding outside the palace. In two hours, there were indeed some people who came to the palace, but when they saw the old man of Impermanence, they quickly left. This old man was an existence that they couldn't afford to offend.
After they left the palace, they flew towards the inner part of the spatial zone under the guidance of Da Huang. In a place like this, it was never wrong to listen to Da Huang. The direction that Da Huang Dog chose, regardless of whether there would be danger ahead, there would definitely be treasures.
Along the way, they met some rogue cultivators, but when they saw Jiang Chen's group, they quickly distanced themselves from them, not daring to come close.
This spatial zone wasn't big. Other than the palace, they didn't meet any other buildings, let alone any treasures. They did meet one or two dark souls, but they were easily dealt with by Han Yan.
Their current group had the presence of Han Yan, so they could do whatever they wanted in the Death Mountain. They wouldn't be afraid of anyone. Even if they met an Eighth Grade Combat Emperor like Li Long, Han Yan would be able to deal with him.
After flying for about ten minutes, the air suddenly became extremely hot. Not far ahead, layers of heat waves could be seen floating in the sky, causing the void to turn red.
"There is a strange phenomenon in front, let's go and have a look."
Jiang Chen said. The group increased their speed and flew forward. There was a magma river in front of them, blocking their way.
There were dozens of cultivators standing on the bank of the magma river, looking at the terrifying magma in the river. Their faces revealed a trace of fear.
* Hu Hu … *
Even though there was a distance between them, they could still feel the rolling heat waves from the river. It was terrifying, even the Combat Emperors could feel a trace of burning sensation.
Two disciples in Nebula Sect's uniform came to welcome Jiang Chen when they saw him.
"Brother Jiang."
Both of them held their fists at the same time to greet Jiang Chen. They were the core disciples of Nebula Sect, but when they saw Jiang Chen, an inner sect disciple, they had to be respectful. After witnessing the power of killing a Fifth Grade Combat Emperor in Xiaoyao Palace, they naturally didn't dare to show any neglect to Jiang Chen.
"What happened?"
Jiang Chen asked.
"Brother Jiang, there is a magma river in front of us, blocking our way. We can feel it, as long as we cross this river, we will enter another space in front of us. However, the magma in this river is too terrifying, even a Combat Emperor can't withstand it."
One of the disciples said.
Jiang Chen and the rest came to the front of the river, looking into it. The magma in the river was wriggling like a flood dragon. It was very scary. Not only was the temperature of the magma high, it was also emitting a scorching poisonous gas. Even a Combat Emperor couldn't withstand it. More than ten of them were blocked by it.
"Can't we just fly over it?"
After saying that, Big Yellow was about to fly over from above.
"No, someone tried to fly over it, but he was immediately attacked by the magma and was sucked into the river. Not even his remains were left."
