As a skilled assassin, once you make a move, there are countless ways to ensure the target is assassinated.
Especially considering Dark is a legendary assassin known for his expertise, even though Ye Qiu's resistance took him by surprise, he remained calm and rational. With a sudden change in tactics, he dodged Ye Qiu's attack and slashed his dagger toward Ye Qiu's throat, still aiming for the kill, ensuring it would be lethal!!!
Facing such a fierce onslaught from Dark, Ye Qiu found it increasingly troubleso because with just a single careless move, he could very likely end up dead in Dark's hands!!!
Thus, Ye Qiu didn't dare let his guard down, concentrating fully, he faced Dark's assassination attempts, continuously using his hands to deflect Dark's dagger and arms, while trying to punch Dark and eliminate him!
Dark, in turn, continually changed his hand movents in response to Ye Qiu's attacks, his figure shifting and striking at Ye Qiu from various cunning angles!
Neither of them backed down, becoming entwined in battle!
Watching from the side, in the shocked eyes of Cat and the others, all they could see was Ye Qiu and Dark swiftly darting back and forth in the room, leaving afterimages, making it impossible to discern the details of the fight.
They originally wanted to step in and help Ye Qiu against the intruder, but it seed there was no way they could interfere!!!
Furthermore, just watching Ye Qiu and the enemy's battle from the side, Cat and the others felt a tangible threat as if a single movent could drag them into certain death.
Consequently, paralyzed by this inexplicable fear, Cat and others' bodies stiffened, not daring to move!
"Why is this so troubleso!"
Having failed to kill Ye Qiu for so long, an impatient look couldn't help but appear on Dark's face.
He originally thought this assassination should be a relatively easy task.
After all, although the target was the Demon King, from the intelligence Dark had, the Demon King was rely a King Realm expert, without Divine Realm strength, not worth worrying about.
He rely needed one strike to take out Ye Qiu!!!
However, the reality was far beyond Dark's expectations. Not only did he fail to take Ye Qiu down with a single blow, but he was also drawn into a stalemate, unable to subdue Ye Qiu.
As an assassin skilled in assassination, Dark clearly understood that there's usually only one chance for an assassination. If it fails, you must temporarily retreat and wait for the next opportunity.
But as a Divine Realm powerhouse, his assassinations had never failed, and he couldn't accept a failed assassination outco.
So, with a cold glint in his eye, Dark continued to entangle with Ye Qiu!
Furthermore, imdiately afterward, Dark unleashed his Divine Realm power. A terrifying force suppressed Ye Qiu's figure, and the dagger in his hand locked onto Ye Qiu, stabbing towards Ye Qiu's throat with unimaginable speed!
This strike from Dark was incredibly fast, so fast that Ye Qiu only felt a shadow flash before his eyes, unable to clearly see Dark's movents!!!
If hit by this strike from Dark, it would an absolute death!!!
The aura of death hovered over Ye Qiu's heart, causing his expression to beco extrely serious.
Luckily, in preparation for such a situation, just in case, Ye Qiu had already made preparations!!!
So, just as Dark's shadow reached Ye Qiu, and the dagger was just a short distance from Ye Qiu's throat, a burst of terrifying power exploded from Ye Qiu's body, transforming into a repelling force, forcibly blocking Dark and his dagger!!!
"Tricks of little consequence."
Confronted with this repelling force, Dark sneered, showing disdain in his gaze.
This strike of his was infused with Divine Realm power, aning any defense or resistance below the Divine Realm level would be no more than illusory, utterly futile.
But soon, the disdain in Dark's eyes and the sneer on his face froze.
Because when the dagger in his hand collided with the force emanating from Ye Qiu, it was like hitting a steel plate, forcibly halted, unable to advance even a fraction.
Under the repelling force from Ye Qiu's burst of power, the dagger in Dark's grasp seed ready to be shaken free.
This couldn't be possible!!!
Dark's pupils suddenly contracted, his face turning pale.
This blow, using Divine Realm power, was supposed to be a sure-kill strike, no one should be able to withstand it.
Yet Ye Qiu managed to block his strike?!!
It could only an one thing: Ye Qiu's power was equal to his.
In other words, Ye Qiu possessed at least the strength of the Divine Realm!!!
Only Divine Realm level power could withstand his strike!!!
Realizing this, Dark suddenly understood why he hadn't been able to take Ye Qiu down.
A Divine Realm powerhouse, if that easy to kill, wouldn't be a Divine Realm powerhouse!!!
The assassination target having Divine Realm power exceeded Ye Qiu's expectations by far.
Therefore, upon realizing this, Dark was suddenly filled with a desire to retreat!
There was no way; if the target wielded Divine Realm level power, it couldn't be easily dealt with in a short amount of ti.
Besides, while Dark excelled in surprise assassinations and hiding, facing other Divine Realm powerhouses in direct confrontation, he was not necessarily their match!!!
So the most rational choice was to retreat first and then reconsider the long-term plan!
With this thought, Dark made up his mind; after a failed strike, he turned around and leaped towards the window, attempting to escape!!!
"Trying to escape?!!"
Seeing Dark attempt to flee, Ye Qiu let out a cold snort, punched hard, and instantly unleashed the power of the Divine Realm, fiercely striking towards Dark to try to stop him!!!
However, Ye Qiu was ultimately a step too slow. His fist only hit Dark on the shoulder as Dark's figure leaped out the window, disappearing into the night.
Ye Qiu hurriedly followed, reaching the window, and looking outside, saw only darkness, unable to find any trace of Dark.
"Failed to keep him here, huh?"
Having let him escape, Ye Qiu frowned, feeling sowhat exasperated.
He had tried his best to deal with Dark, but Dark's agility made it extrely challenging to even get close, let alone the fact that Dark's strength was nearly on par with his.
As a result, although Ye Qiu seed to have the upper hand against Dark, he couldn't manage to capture Dark, let alone finish him!
