Again?
Half an hour later, Lord Minghe, who was sitting opposite Xia Pingan, opened his eyes again with his mouth slightly agape. The look in his eyes was as if he had seen a ghost in his cave residence in broad daylight. No, it was even more shocking than seeing a ghost, because if there really was a ghost, Lord Minghe could directly exorcise it.
At this moment, the fluctuations of divine power emanating from Xia Pingan's body intensified again, completely exceeding the level that should have been achieved after successfully fusing with that realm pearl.
Lord Minghe was very clear that the assassin realm pearl just now was the most difficult one to fuse with among all the realm pearls. In fact, the success rate of fusing with many realm pearls was not 100% guaranteed with a spiritual sense crystal.
Due to the existence of the Mystery of Boundary Boundaries, no one knew what would happen after fusing with a spiritual sense crystal. However, based on historical experience, for some realm pearls that were extremely difficult to fuse successfully, even if there was a spiritual sense crystal, it might only increase the success rate of the fusion, but not guarantee a 100% success rate.
For example, the assassin realm pearl that Xia Pingan had chosen to fuse with just now could increase his divine power by 40 to 50 points under normal circumstances. However, at this moment, the divine power fluctuations coming from Xia Pingan's body were at least 200 points. It was too strong.
In fact, Xia Pingan was very clear about this point. Even if the spiritual sense crystal told you what Nie Zheng was capable of, when you really became Nie Zheng, could you guarantee that your swordsmanship would be better than Nie Zheng's and that you would be able to kill a prime minister who was heavily guarded? Could you guarantee that you had the courage to do so? The spiritual sense crystal was like a strategy, but it did not mean that you would succeed every time it was given.
When Xia Pingan fused with the assassin realm pearl, he had already achieved a breakthrough. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he achieved a second breakthrough.
Many ordinary summoners, even if they were at the seventh or eighth rank, might not even have such a breakthrough in their lifetime. However, in front of Lord Minghe, in a very short period of time, he had seen someone achieve a breakthrough twice in a row, which was even more difficult than a perfect fusion.
To True Monarch Nether River, this was like an ordinary person watching his friend buy two lottery tickets consecutively and hit the jackpot.
"Could it be that this kid was born to fuse with the Assassin's Realm Pearl? How could he fuse with it twice in a row?" True Monarch Nether River murmured to himself. His eyes shone brightly as he sized up Xia Pingan once more.
Finally, the light cocoon on Xia Pingan's body shattered.
Xia Pingan opened his eyes, and he felt a little excited. He had succeeded again, and his divine power had increased by 257 points. The divine power limit of the secret mandala had reached 6727 points, and he was only one step away from the Six Sun Realm.
True Monarch Styx River's gaze made Xia Pingan's hair stand on end. He coughed lightly and said with an innocent expression, "Senior, this realm pearl has also been successfully fused. It seems to have increased a lot of divine power!"
"When you fused with this Realm Pearl, did you feel anything special?"
"No!" Xia Pingan shook his head. "I feel like it's similar to fusing with other Realm Beads. With the existence of the Mystery of Boundaries, I don't remember anything when I woke up!"
"Did this happen when you fused with other Assassin Realm Pearls?"
"No!"
Even though Xia Pingan knew the process of fusing with other Assassin Realm Pearls, it was very difficult for him to achieve a breakthrough. Just like the realm pearl of "Cao Mo", he couldn't kill Duke Huan of Qi during the League Meeting. If he did that, he would probably be chopped into pieces and his head would explode if the fusion failed.
After a moment of silence, True Monarch Nether River said, "Summon your Demon Slayer Assassin for me to see!"
"Yes!"
Xia Pingan waved his hand, and a black fog appeared in front of him. A black figure of a masked Assassin suddenly came out of the black fog and stood in front of Xia Pingan.
Compared to before, the aura of this Assassin summoned by Xia Pingan could not be sensed at all. Even if he stood in front of people, he would feel like a shadow. In addition, this Assassin was holding a Fish-Intestine Dagger backhand. He was squatting slightly, and his eyes were flashing coldly. He was observing the surrounding environment like an arrow on a bow or a crouching tiger. He was ready to burst out at any time.
Squinting his eyes, True Monarch Nether River sized up this Demon Slayer Assassin summoned by Xia Pingan. When he saw the row of flying daggers on the Assassin's waist, his eyes slightly narrowed — other Demon Slayer Assassins summoned by fusing with five Assassin Realm Pearls didn't have flying daggers on their waists, and their auras were not so weird.
Different summoners might get different results after fusing with the same Realm Pearl. This was the secret of the summoners' secret mandala.
True Monarch Nether River waved his hand and summoned a warlord at once. This warlord was more than two meters tall, wearing shiny fish scale armor, and holding a Coiled Dragon Spear in his hand. He was majestic and full of oppressive aura.
As soon as this warlord was summoned, True Monarch Nether River pointed at the Assassin summoned by Xia Pingan. The Spear in the warlord's hand shook. With a hum, the Spear shot out like a dragon, making a vibrating sound in the air. The Spear stabbed towards the Assassin summoned by Xia Pingan.
As soon as the warlord made a move, Xia Pingan knew that True Monarch Nether River wanted to see the ability of the Assassin he summoned. Without hesitation, Xia Pingan issued a battle order. The Assassin he summoned instantly disappeared, evading the warlord's attack. Then, he appeared beside the warlord in a flash. The Fish-Intestine Dagger in his hand directly stabbed towards the Assassin's armpit through the gap of the Battle Armor. The Assassin's movement was sharp and swift as lightning.
The general roared and turned around, dodging the dagger with a single step. He used his armor to block the dagger and then flicked his spear, causing a streak of fire to appear in the air as he stabbed at the assassin's throat.
The Assassin's Dagger hit the tip of the Spear, making a clanging sound.
The assassin was sent flying by the general's attack. His feet left the ground as he flew backward. The general's attack was like fire. With a roar, the spear in his hand pierced out like a storm. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of spears had pierced towards the assassin.
With each Spear Thrusts, the Spear Thrusts in the Spear Thrusts caused a sonic boom in the air. The Spear Thrusts ignited the air. Flames surged in the cave and the temperature in the cave rose by dozens of degrees. Not only that, the Spear Thrusts of the Spear Thrusts were dazzling. A cold Spear Thrusts fell on the stone wall of the cave and directly pierced a hole more than three feet deep in the stone wall. Gravel splashed everywhere.
Because of the sudden rise in temperature in the cave, there were flames everywhere. Xia Pingan had to summon a water shield to protect himself. Otherwise, his clothes would be set ablaze.
True Monarch Nether River watched calmly from the side. The flames automatically avoided him as soon as they reached him.
Under such a torrential attack, the Assassin summoned by Xia Pingan was like a fallen leaf in the sea. His figure was strange like a wisp of smoke. Although the wind and waves were fierce, the fallen leaf drifted with the waves and did not sink. The Fish-Intestine Dagger in the Assassin's hand could always tap on the Spear Thrusts or Spear Thrusts at the right time. Instead, he used the Spear Thrusts to accelerate his movements and constantly looked for opportunities to get close to the warlord.
The battle between the two was too intense and exciting. Moreover, it was unpredictable. To be honest, Xia Pingan had not seen a battle of this level more than a few times.
A few minutes later, the Assassin threw out darts that were as fast as lightning. The warlord brandished his Spear Thrusts and formed a barrier of flames and Spear Thrusts around his body. Amidst the dense clanging sounds, the Assassin deflected all the darts. However, one of the darts silently drilled out of the ground and sank into the gap between the warlord's thigh and knee.
The warlord staggered and his hand movements became sluggish. The Assassin had already closed in and stabbed the Assassin through the gap between the warlord's helmet and neck guard.
The warlord twisted his head and leaned to the side to avoid the vital point in the gap between his neck and the Yuchang Sword directly pierced his shoulder. Then, without waiting for the Assassin to retreat, the warlord roared and grabbed the Yuchang Sword with one hand while his other hand and one leg broke the Spear Thrusts in his hand. Then, he directly stabbed the Yuchang Sword like a dagger into the Assassin's eyes at close range. It was a tragic and fierce scene.
The Assassin summoned by Xia Pingan suddenly dissipated with a bang. However, at the same time, the Assassin's shadow suddenly stood up from the ground and transformed into a human. It grabbed the Yuchang Sword dagger that had pierced into the warlord's shoulder and instantly stabbed it into the warlord's throat, twisting it fiercely.
The warlord's head flew up and his entire body suddenly dissipated into light.
Then, the murderous shadow materialized and turned back into the Assassin's appearance.
With a wave of his hand, Xia Pingan summoned the Assassin back into the secret mandala.
When the Assassin's shadow rushed out to kill the warlord, True Monarch Nether River's eyes suddenly focused and his heart trembled.
The Demon Slayer Assassin summoned in front of him didn't have any spell buffs or transformations applied by a summoner. The Assassin used the Assassin's shadow to kill the warlord he summoned was the same as the Assassin's Flying Dagger. It was a kind of innate skill of the Assassin.
Other Demon Slayer Assassins definitely didn't have such an innate skill.
"What's the skill of the Assassin's shadow …" True Monarch Nether River looked at Xia Pingan and softly asked.
"Senior, I don't know what's going on with that shadow. After completing the fusion with the realm bead, the Assassin seemed to have this ability. The shadow's ability is called Double Kill …"
In fact, Xia Pingan was very clear that this Double Kill skill should have something to do with the fusion with Nie Zheng's realm bead. That realm bead was a breakthrough fusion. Xia Pingan's incarnation of Nie Zheng not only escaped unscathed after assassinating Xia Pingan but also made appropriate arrangements before the assassination so that Nie Yun wouldn't be implicated. He saved himself and didn't let Nie Yun die again, avoiding a tragedy. Then, the Assassin he summoned had the strange innate skill of Double Kill.
"Double Kill?" True Monarch Nether River muttered to himself and took a deep look at Xia Pingan. "I originally wanted to arrange two missions for you after you could summon the Demon Slayer Assassin to test the ability of the Assassin you summoned. Since the Demon Slayer Assassin you summoned has such an ability, there's no need to test it anymore …"
