The four assassins of the Cave Heaven Realm each had their unique Martial Souls and Cave Realms.
One transford into a raindrop of the night, suddenly approaching;
One rged into the pitch-black curtain of night, becoming one with nature;
One launched silent long-range attacks;
One approached instantly at an incredible speed, as if it could teleport.
The cooperation of these four was truly formidable.
Even Ling Xiao encountered trouble.
With his judgnt, it was impossible to dodge all the attacks this ti.
After careful consideration, he swiftly thrust his sword.
Blood splattered into the rain, staining the earth red.
The assassin who seed to teleport was stabbed to death by Ling Xiao’s sword, as if the assassin deliberately ran into his blade.
Of course, he paid a price, taking a sword to the chest, the poison seeping into his body, causing him to feel paralyzed instantly.
Then, he got slashed across the arm.
Fortunately, his blood, a fusion of human blood and Ancient Golden Dragon Blood, could devour all poison.
Monts later, he returned to normal, dodging the final fatal blow.
Killing one, a severe injury, a minor injury, it was worth it!
Ling Xiao swallowed an Injury Healing Pill.
For him, pills were never a problem.
The remaining three assassins retreated back into the darkness.
The ambush, though successful, cost them one of their own and only injured Ling Xiao, making such a sneak attack truly unworthy.
Ling Xiao stood there expressionlessly, letting the effect of the Injury Healing Pill spread through his body, with the blood from his wounds already stopped.
A smile appeared on his face.
Though injured, he felt as if he was about to break through that peculiar state.
"He’s nearly done, but us three may struggle to win, we must call for reinforcents!"
In the shadows, the three assassins discussed anxiously.
"Agreed!"
"I agree too!"
Five Silver Badge Assassins of the First Cave Heaven Realm had already died two, only heavily injuring Ling Xiao.
This left them without confidence.
The one who hired them had said that if they needed help, they could blow the whistle in their hands, and there would be as much cannon fodder as needed.
There was only one target: to kill Ling Xiao.
The sound of the rain did not obscure the clear whistle.
The whistle sounded like an owl’s call but was sowhat different.
Others couldn’t hear it clearly, but the one who made the whistle could hear it distinctly.
Ling Xiao did not move.
He was healing and also waiting.
He needed stronger stimulation.
The more enemies, the better.
This rainy night might be the best day to kill him for his enemies.
But for him, it was a great opportunity to break through the barriers and stabilize his cultivation level.
It didn’t take long.
Perhaps ten minutes, maybe a quarter-hour.
On the desolate mountain, a swarm of people appeared like ants.
Everyone wore a conical hat.
Raindrops fell on their hats, making a hard sound.
Ling Xiao noticed that each person’s face was tattooed with the word "prisoner".
They were prisoners!
And they were all death row prisoners!
In the Divine Phoenix Imperial City, few had the right to mobilize death row prisoners, only from the Eight Great Clans and the Righteous Qi Alliance.
Now, it’s almost certain that these people attacking him tonight were definitely the doing of those fellows from the Eight Great Clans or the Righteous Qi Alliance.
But how could these fools think that one assassination attempt might not kill Ling Xiao but might instead help him?
Rainy night assassination.
It’s dangerous, but also opportunity!
"Kill!"
In the crowd, soone shouted, and the mob charged forward.
The strength of these death row prisoners varied.
But they were basically all Heavenly Realm Martial Artists.
One could say they ca to die.
Whoever survived this battle might have their death row status revoked, a promise Ling Xiao could guess without thinking.
To live, but to die.
It sounds contradictory, but for these death row prisoners, it was their only chance.
Should they be pitied?
Ling Xiao did not harbor such compassionate thoughts.
Whoever ca to kill him, he would kill them.
The logic was very simple.
But not everyone could accept it.
Nevertheless, Ling Xiao walked this path all along.
The Dark Sword Domain finally revealed its divine power, terrifying sword shadows beca life-taking gods under the protection of the night.
Not far away, the imperial bodyguards of Feng Yingshan watched it all in awe.
The Hidden Mountain Reserve Monarch’s order wasn’t actually to help Feng Yanran rescue Ling Xiao.
After all, they didn’t have that capability.
The Reserve Monarch’s order was simple, just one sentence—"See clearly Ling Xiao’s strength!"
In this world, perhaps only Feng Yingshan saw Ling Xiao as a truly potential opponent and ally.
So Feng Yingshan wanted to know everything about Ling Xiao.
Including his progress, his potential.
Although Feng Yingshan had personally witnessed Ling Xiao’s battles, at that ti Ling Xiao wasn’t in his full state, with no reference value.
On such a dangerous night, Ling Xiao might explode with full strength.
So the imperial bodyguards widened their eyes, not wanting to miss any detail.
Although Ling Xiao’s current performance was enough to shock them.
But perhaps there was even more exciting to be displayed.
"Light Sword Domain!"
While the Dark Sword Domain remained, Ling Xiao simultaneously unleashed another Sword Domain.
One black, one white!
One bright, one dark!
Complenting each other, quite stunning.
But the most astonishing was the power of these two Sword Domains.
In the Light Sword Domain, martial artists were engulfed in fiery flas; each strand of Sword Qi was a high-temperature enhanced Sword Qi.
In the Dark Sword Domain, martial artists couldn’t capture the direction and location of the Sword Qi, nor its trajectory, unable to even block it, they’d be struck.
"Dual Cave Realms? How is this possible?"
Feng Yanran had read so many books and had never heard of anyone who could wield more than one Cave Realm simultaneously.
Even if possessing multiple Cave Realms, they could only manifest one at a ti.
But soone like Ling Xiao, she had truly only seen him do it.
Under the terror of the dual Sword Domains, the swarm of death row prisoners rushed to et their deaths.
They couldn’t even get close to Ling Xiao and had already beco dead souls under his sword, not even knowing how they died.
The three assassins of the First Cave Heaven Realm wore grim expressions.
They were grateful for their wise decision.
If they faced Ling Xiao’s dual Sword Domains, they’d probably be either dead or injured.
Now, after these cannon fodders had dulled Ling Xiao’s sharpness, killing him would be easier.
A hundred ters away, the waiting Cave Heaven Martial Artist had an even grimr face.
He was none other than Fengming Heishan, Ninth Brother of Fengming Yashan.
Upon hearing his younger brother was expelled from the Tianyuan Treasure Pagoda, his rage was indescribable.
So he hadn’t inford anyone of this and secretly lay in wait, preparing to take Ling Xiao’s life.
