Whoosh!
As if a gust of wind blew past, Lin Buzheng's body turned from corporeal to incorporeal. He quickly became indistinct, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
At the same time, Lin Buzheng's body seemed to have descended from the air a few inches away from the figure. He turned corporeal and appeared out of thin air.
"That's … an afterimage!"
When the Chongsheng Sect disciples who were watching the fight saw this incredibly strange scene, they were puzzled at first, but they soon came to a realization.
Clearly, the first figure of Lin Buzheng, which was also the figure of the normal man's assassin, was not real. Instead, it was an afterimage created when he moved at an unbelievable speed.
The second figure that appeared a few inches away from him was Lin Buzheng's real body!
The normal man's attack seemed to have been timed perfectly. The dagger seemed to have stabbed deep into Lin Buzheng's body, but in truth, it had only stabbed the afterimage created when Lin Buzheng was moving at an extreme speed.
Lin Buzheng's real body moved an inch forward at that critical moment.
It was precisely this insignificant distance of a few inches that allowed him to avoid this fatal blow without any harm and come out unscathed!
"The dagger is very sharp, and it's very fast!
"You nearly succeeded!"
The world was gray, and not a single sound could be heard. In the strange environment where ancient coffins reached the sky, Lin Buzheng turned around slowly and looked at the normal man who had tried to assassinate him not too far behind him. He grinned.
Since this small world had the ability to weaken a person's five senses, Lin Buzheng's voice sounded indistinct and ethereal, as if it came from the endless horizon.
It was just as Lin Buzheng had said. The normal man's hiding methods were indeed hidden. Besides, this small world could weaken and distort a martial artist's five senses, so before Lin Buzheng attacked, he did not notice the normal man's existence at all.
But once the normal man attacked, his aura rose, and his killing intent burst forth. He was instantly unable to hide, and Lin Buzheng immediately noticed him. That was why he managed to avoid the dagger at the critical moment it was about to pierce his body.
"I understand!"
"The reason why you left this place earlier wasn't because you ran out of patience, but because you wanted to use this method to lure me out, who was hiding in the dark!"
The ordinary man stood at a safe distance of over 10m away as he spoke with an icy cold voice, and his eyes stared fixedly at Lin Buzheng. His voice was similarly extremely indistinct, and his figure seemed to be between reality and illusion. It seemed as if he would transform into a wisp of smoke and vanish in the blink of an eye.
"Correct!"
"When you lured me into this graveyard, I knew what you were planning."
"What a pity. Your speed is indeed very fast. Otherwise, this battle would have already ended!"
The smile on Lin Buzheng's face looked very simple and honest, but when his words fell into the ears of the Chongsheng Sect disciples who were watching the battle, everyone's hearts tightened, and they felt suffocated.
Moments ago, they had been worried for Lin Buzheng, who had been pierced by the dagger. Now, his words proved that Lin Buzheng had used his own body as bait to trap and kill the ordinary man.
At the critical moment, if the ordinary man had not sensed that something was amiss and decisively retreated, he would have been defeated by Lin Buzheng.
"Your plan is indeed very deep!"
"However, in the face of absolute power, all plans are futile!"
"My name is Zhao Jiusha. Remember my name, because it will become a nightmare that you will never be able to get rid of!"
The man's face was expressionless as he stared coldly at Lin Buzheng. Before he finished his sentence, his figure flashed and he disappeared from where he stood.
"Zhao Jiusha!"
"Merciless and cold-blooded!"
"This time, the Mighty God Sect bastard has finally kicked an iron plate! Even if he has reached the pinnacle in many areas of martial arts, he will still lose miserably in this battle! "
The Chongsheng Sect disciples widened their eyes and stared unblinkingly at the projection in the sky. Their hearts were filled with excitement and anticipation.
Zhao Jiusha's strength was average. He had not reached the pinnacle in many areas of martial arts. When he was fighting against Lin Buzheng, he had lost in one move and was at a disadvantage.
Even so, the Chongsheng Sect disciples still had high hopes for him.
This was because Zhao Jiusha was not an ordinary martial artist. He was a merciless killer!
To an assassin, strength was secondary. As long as he could seize the opportunity, he could defeat the strong and create miracles!
Not to mention, Zhao Jiusha's ability to hide his presence and aura was extremely brilliant. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the best amongst his peers in the Chongsheng Sect. It allowed him to hide in the vicinity of his prey and wait for the right moment to kill him!
In fact, Zhao Jiusha had indeed created many miracles in the past.
His most notable achievement was killing a Martial Highness who had just entered the True Path Realm after nine days and nine nights of ambush. When the news spread, the entire Chongsheng Sect was in an uproar.
Because of this, even though Lin Buzheng's performance in the previous rounds was shocking, the Chongsheng Sect disciples still had high hopes for Zhao Jiusha.
They believed that Zhao Jiusha would be able to find Lin Buzheng's weakness and defeat him, thus strengthening the reputation of the Chongsheng Sect!
Buzz!
As Zhao Jiusha executed his strange movement technique, his body, True Yuan, aura …
Everything disappeared from Lin Buzheng's senses, as if he did not exist in this world.
The movement technique that Zhao Jiusha practiced was a Heaven-ranked middle-grade skill, Mysterious Underworld Crossing.
As the name suggested, those who practiced this skill would be able to travel freely between the real world and the Underworld, completely concealing their aura.
The Chongsheng Sect's Mysterious Underworld Crossing was originally incomplete, but Zhao Jiusha's constant comprehension and practice had made up for the missing parts, allowing him to train this skill to the unblemished realm.
From this, one could see that Zhao Jiusha's talent in martial arts was shocking. Even if he was not as good as Lin Buzheng, he was not far behind!
"He disappeared again. How troublesome!"
Lin Buzheng frowned. Even though he had used his powerful Divine Sense to scan the surroundings the moment Zhao Jiusha disappeared, he still could not find any trace of Zhao Jiusha.
In fact, although Zhao Jiusha's movement technique was highly concealing, it could cover all traces, as if he had really entered the legendary Underworld.
However, if Lin Buzheng used his Qi and blood, Martial True Yuan, and released his powerful Soul Power, he would definitely be able to see through Zhao Jiusha's concealment.
