"What!!"
Prince Duan Zhong's expression had already turned extremely ugly. Twice in a row, he had accurately killed the person who had attacked him. But why was there still someone else?
"Not the same person?"
This was the first possibility that came to Prince Duanzhong's mind. After all, as one of the Nine Great Princes, this was not the first time he had encountered an assassination attempt. This kind of assassination against the upper echelons of the royal family had always been the top mission in the Assassin Alliance. Few people accepted it, but there were still those who dared to accept it. These people who accepted the mission would most likely choose to join forces when they felt that they were not strong enough. Whoever killed the target would get the final reward.
Therefore, it was normal for a group of assassins to come after Prince Duanzhong.
However, Prince Duanzhong did not reveal his identity. He was currently a top assassin in the Heavenly Court. The possibility of him being surrounded was very low.
What was strange was that Prince Duanzhong felt that the two attacks, whether it was the strength or the method of attack, were exactly the same. It was very much like the same person.
"Damn it!"
Looking at the dagger that was so close to him, Prince Duanzhong's spiritual power suddenly exploded. An abnormal flush appeared on his face.
A blood-red light flashed, and Prince Duanzhong's body disappeared on the spot, narrowly avoiding the dagger's attack.
"You forced me to use the Blood Escape. I want to see who you are!" Prince Duanzhong was furious.
Although the Blood Escape allowed him to temporarily escape the assassin's clutches, it also consumed a lot of his spiritual power. When the assassin attacked, he had blocked all his escape routes. He was also at the Great Vehicle Stage, so he could not break this imprisonment in a short time. He could only use the Blood Escape to escape.
However, the Blood Escape was very harmful to him. Although he had escaped once, he had forced Prince Duanzhong to use his life-saving technique. It was a big blow.
Boom!
As soon as the figure of the Blood Escape solidified, Prince Duanzhong exerted his strength at the Peak of the Great Vehicle Stage to the extreme. He directly sealed all the surrounding space and even used the surrounding Power of Law to imprison the black figure who had attacked him.
As one of the people who was closest to the Crossing Calamity Stage, Prince Duanzhong had mastered a little Power of Law. He could absolutely crush this kind of cultivator who had just reached the Great Vehicle Stage.
The reason why he was in such a sorry state just now was because the timing and angle of the assassin's attack were too tricky. Moreover, the assassin had attacked him several times in a row, forcing him to use Blood Escape.
But now that the distance between them had increased, it would be extremely difficult for the assassin to get close to him.
"Die!"
The palm that contained the pressure of laws slammed down from the sky, causing the surrounding space to tremble violently. The terrifying pressure that erupted alarmed everyone who was fighting in the surroundings.
After all, Prince Duanzhong's identity as an assassin was only a part-time job. When he attacked with all his strength, it was difficult for him to be as silent as other assassins. At this moment, he unleashed his most powerful attack in order to kill the assassin who had injured him. Therefore, he did not intend to hide his aura at the Peak of the Great Completion stage.
"Over there … who is fighting?"
"This aura … an expert at the peak of the Great Vehicle Stage has made his move!!!"
"Could it be that the Crown Prince's remains have returned?"
…
The moment they felt this aura, many people looked in that direction at the same time. They saw Prince Duan Zhong attacking in midair.
"Immortal Technique: Dark Corrosion!"
It was also at this moment that a ripple came from the darkness, triggering the wound on Prince Duanzhong's back.
"Ah!!"
Prince Duan Zhong, who was in the middle of casting the technique, screamed directly. The spiritual power and the power of laws in his body were completely disrupted in an instant.
On his back, black blood flowed out of the wound caused by the dagger. Streaks of black lines spread rapidly, constantly devouring Prince Duan Zhong's body.
At this moment, Prince Duan Zhong's strength dropped sharply. The black aura was like a maggot that entered his body, crazily devouring his vitality and spiritual power. In just one or two breaths, half of his back, neck, and left arm had turned pitch-black.
"Taiyi Golden Body!!!"
It was also at this moment that Prince Duan Zhong, who felt the threat of death, did not dare to hide any longer. He did not hesitate to expose his identity and directly activated the golden rune between his eyebrows.
This was the mark left by the Taiyi Clan on the Nakagawa Clan. Although it restricted them most of the time, at this crucial moment, he could use the rune of the Taiyi Daoist Scripture to force back the aura that invaded his body.
Compared to other spiritual powers, the rune of the Taiyi Daoist Scripture was also very effective against darkness spiritual power. The two were incompatible to begin with. At this moment, as long as the rune of the Taiyi Daoist Scripture was present, the Dark Corrosion was very likely to be broken in an instant.
However, Prince Duan Zhong miscalculated!
Not only did he miscalculate, but he also made a grave mistake.
Because the moment he activated the rune of the Taiyi Daoist Scripture, the dark spiritual power that invaded his body had a golden halo. The Taiyi Daoist Scripture's aura was more than a hundred times stronger than the rune between his eyebrows. It was instantly suppressed.
The Taiyi Golden Body dissipated. After losing this defensive method, it was too late for Prince Duan Zhong to use other methods. Moreover, what was more terrifying was that what he did just now had activated the Taiyi Daoist Scripture in the dark spiritual power, causing the dark spiritual power's power to skyrocket. In an instant, the upper half of Prince Duan Zhong's body had turned pitch-black.
"Taiyi Daoist Scripture!!! How is this possible?! You're from the Taiyi Tribe?? "
Prince Duan Zhong's heart turned cold. Only the Taiyi Tribe could use the Taiyi Daoist Scripture. At this moment, he could clearly sense the powerful aura of the Taiyi Daoist Scripture in the dark spiritual power. The Primordial Scripture, which focused on spiritual power, directly amplified the corrosive power of the dark spiritual power by dozens of times. At this moment, Prince Duan Zhong had no way of fighting back.
Of course, if he didn't choose to use the Taiyi Daoist Scripture's rune in the first place, he might not have fallen into such a disadvantageous position so quickly. But now …
The darkness in the sky wriggled slightly, and a gleaming dagger suddenly shot out from the darkness and swept across Prince Duan Zhong's neck in front of everyone's eyes.
Black blood fell, and there was a sizzling sound. Accompanied by the fall of a powerful cultivator at the peak of the Great Vehicle Stage, an even more terrifying aura suddenly appeared in the entire area.
The color of blood spread endlessly, and countless corpses appeared on the ground. A bloody skeletal hand rose from the sea of corpses and started to absorb the surrounding blood and resentment.
Soon, everyone felt a terrifying aura from the bloody skeletal hand. It was the aura of a Celestial Artifact.
