It was Yin Qi, a disciple of the Si Clan of the Feng State. He wore a tight black suit and exuded a cold aura. He walked silently as if his body was weightless.
As a disciple of the Saint of Killers, Yin Qi's methods were extremely dangerous and could kill people without leaving a trace.
Xu Que's Rules of Shadow were somewhat similar to the cultivation methods of the people of the Si Clan.
"Please," Yin Qi said. Yin Qi said. Xu Que put away his lazy posture and stared at his opponent. Yin Qi gave him a very dangerous feeling. There was a gloomy and cold aura all over his body. His hands must have been stained with the blood of many people. Moreover, in the previous battle, Xu Que had naturally paid attention to Yin Qi's means. This person was good at the Rules of Shadow and could turn into a shadow silently.
"Please." Xu Que responded. As soon as his voice fell, the Life Spirit appeared behind Yin Qi. It was a shadow. His body merged into the shadow, and his whole body seemed to be integrated into it, turning him into a shadow.
Not only that, but the shadow directly elongated. Soon, shadows split from it and moved silently, surrounding Xu Que's body in the middle. None of the shadows had any aura, as if they were just pure shadows.
These shadows continued to elongate and continued to move toward Xu Que's body. Soon, the shadows descended under Xu Que's feet and locked onto him. At this moment, Xu Que only felt an extremely cold aura descend on his body.
"Shadow Bind."
The eyes of the people of the Feng State flashed. Xu Que probably didn't understand the methods of the people of the Si Clan. This was an extremely famous rule spell of the Si Clan, Shadow Bind.
Xu Que felt the shadows entwining up and seemed to be able to restrict his movements. His body flashed and shot up into the sky like lightning. However, almost at the same time, the shadows were directly elongated by Xu Que's body, moving with his body and not breaking.
"Buzz." An elongated shadow shot out like lightning and landed in front of Xu Que. An extremely dangerous aura descended. Seeing the shadow coming in front of him, he turned his finger into a sword, the Sword of Slaughter, and pointed it forward. In an instant, the Sword of Slaughter erupted and shattered the shadow.
At the same time, shadows burst forth at the same time, all heading towards Xu Que's body in the void. Xu Que's expression was extremely cold when he saw this. He released his Massacring Sword Life Spirit, and when he held the sword in his hand, the Massacring Aura swept through the space.
He held the sword with both hands and stabbed it under his feet. In an instant, a terrifying slaughter Sword Qi erupted, severing the power of the shadow binding. At the same time, his body spun and turned into a shadow. Numerous afterimages appeared in the air, destroying all the shadows that were rushing towards him.
However, the moment he descended, he discovered that densely packed shadows had appeared around him. All of them were projecting towards him.
"Shadow Incarnation." The powerhouses of the Feng State looked at the battlefield. This Xu Que is going to have a headache. The successor of Si Ming, the Saint of Killers, is not someone to be trifled with.
A violent aura bloomed, and the Rules of Shadow flowed between heaven and earth. In an instant, a shadow storm descended, and the entire area of the battlefield seemed to turn into a dark space. Xu Que's entire person was immersed in the darkness.
However, he discovered that the shadows had followed him into the darkness, hiding within his Shadow Rule Power and blending into the darkness.
Darkness seemed to be more suitable for these shadows to live in.
Xu Que had a bad feeling about this. The shadows were silent, and he could not find his opponent's true self.
The power of the shadow binding moved forward in the darkness, seemingly spreading to every corner of the darkness. Soon, Xu Que felt his body being locked on again. The moment the power of the shadow binding descended upon him, Xu Que felt countless shadows coming towards him. They were still as silent as before, like ghosts.
The Rules of Shadow were useless against them.
Xu Que's expression was solemn. In an instant, he made up his mind.
He was from the Tingxue House, and his specialty was assassination. That was why he was able to comprehend abilities like the Rules of Shadow. He naturally knew what the most effective way to deal with people with similar abilities was.
"Still not admitting defeat?" A ghostly voice came out from the darkness. Many people in the grandstand were confused. Was Xu Que at a disadvantage in the darkness?
"I don't mind if you admit defeat." Xu Que's lazy voice came out, still sounding unrestrained. The voice did not come out again, but in the darkness, an even colder will descended.
A shadow crawled out of the darkness and appeared in front of Xu Que. A cold, dark dagger stabbed at Xu Que's throat. However, Xu Que stood there without moving. A terrifying Slaughter Storm surrounded his body. When the shadow stabbed at him, it was directly torn apart by the Slaughter Storm.
Xu Que's body stood there motionlessly. He closed his eyes, like a hunter.
The shadows stabbed at him one after another, collapsing and dissipating. Xu Que still did not move.
The two of them seemed to be competing in patience.
The highest state of an assassin was naturally to not move, but to kill.
At this moment, a sense of extreme danger descended, causing Xu Que's body to tense up. In the darkness, a shadow appeared behind him. The dark spear of destruction was about to pierce his throat, stabbing out from behind. Xu Que's body tilted slightly, like a bolt of lightning, but the opponent's attack still pierced through the Slaughter Sword Will and hit his shoulder. The terrifying power of destruction penetrated into his body, and blood appeared.
However, the opponent disappeared after one attack, turning back into a shadow.
Xu Que ignored it and continued to stand there, ignoring the blood that flowed out.
After that, different killing moves were used continuously. It seemed like a long time had passed, but the battle was still going on. In the darkness, Xu Que's clothes were stained with blood, and he was seriously injured.
"These two guys are really patient," said an important figure from the Nine States.
In the direction of Feng State, the people of the Si clan looked through the darkness with sharp eyes. Xu Que had mastered the essence of the Way of Assassination. His endurance was terrifying.
Ye Futian and the others also stared at the dark space of the battlefield. They used the Freedom Meditation and looked through the darkness. Of course, they saw that Xu Que was constantly being attacked, but he had no intention of admitting defeat. Ye Futian did not disturb him. This battle was different from the one with Yuan Zhan. This was a battle between two assassins.
Xu Que was usually lazy and casual, but he was very assertive and would naturally make his own decisions.
At this moment, a monstrous killing will suddenly broke out in the darkness. Ye Futian's eyes became extremely sharp as he looked into it. Yin Qi finally lost his patience and burst out with the power of the killing attack. The Spear of the Underworld pierced through the defense of the Way of Sword of Slaughter and stabbed into Xu Que's body. Almost at the same moment, Xu Que's body directly hid in the darkness, as if he had integrated with the rules of darkness.
The Spear of the Underworld pierced through the darkness, but Yin Qi felt an extremely dangerous breath. Suddenly, endless killing currents burst out in the darkness, and a figure flashed and disappeared. Yin Qi's attack had sunk deep into the darkness, and it was too late to retreat.
Boom! Many shadows exploded, and the dark space roared wildly. Soon, two figures appeared in the void. They had their backs to each other, and blood kept flowing down. Xu Que's body was covered with blood, while Yin Qi's body was pierced by sword light. Then, his body fell from the sky and lay on the ground, coughing up blood. His breath was so weak that he could not even get up.
Xu Que's figure also landed. Although his steps were a little unstable, he still stood there.
Obviously, he was the winner.
The number one of the Si clan of Feng State was defeated and eliminated. From then on, no one from the Si clan of Feng State remained on the forum stage. They were all eliminated. This was the second holy land after Zhisheng Cliffs to be completely eliminated.
Moreover, this round of battles had just begun. Next, there would be situations where all the people from the holy lands were eliminated.
This was the horror of the Nine State Forum. With all the holy lands of the Nine States gathered, there were bound to be many holy lands that could not make it to the end.
But no one thought that the person who eliminated the Si clan would be Xu Que of the Barren State. He was not the number one in the Barren State, but he eliminated the number one of the Si clan.
"Xu Que won. The people of the Si clan, take him away," the hosting elder said. Suddenly, the cultivators of the Si clan took Yin Qi away. In the direction of the Si clan, an old man in a black robe stared at Xu Que.
Of course, he knew where Yin Qi had lost. Assassins, when they moved, they would kill. He did not do it, but Xu Que did. He had endured for a long time, and before he was sure, he would rather endure the pain of being constantly injured. He had not made a move until the best opportunity to launch a killing blow.
Obviously, Xu Que was a more qualified assassin than Yin Qi. At the same level, victory or defeat was the best proof, no matter how strong or weak they were.
If this was a real battle of life and death, Yin Qi would already be a dead man.
Dragging his tired body, Xu Que walked step by step back to the Barren State. Yu Sheng, Hua Jieyu, and Ye Wuchen looked at him. Xu Que shrugged and said, "I'm fine."
"Why did you do this?" Ye Futian looked down and said.
Xu Que looked up at Ye Futian on the grandstand and said with a smile, "At least I didn't lose, didn't I?"
Ye Futian looked at Xu Que and smiled, as if he understood what Xu Que meant. In front of someone who was good at the same ability, he certainly could not lose, not only because of the Barren State, but also because of the pride of the Tingxue House.
"Give up the following battles," Ye Futian said. Xu Que was no longer suitable to stay on the battlefield. In the case of serious injuries, even if he fought again, could he beat the strongest cultivators of the other holy lands of the Nine States?
"Okay." Xu Que nodded. There was indeed not much meaning in staying to fight, but at least he had done his best in the Nine State Forum.
"Xu Que of the Barren State requests to withdraw." Ye Futian looked in the direction of the Eastern State.
"Granted." The old man nodded. Even if he withdrew, Xu Que was considered to be in the top 25, and he could leave with his head held high.
After this battle, the Barren State would only have the last three people left!
