In the Enter Soul State, the Landscape Martial Soul’s analysis ability sped up, so Ling Xiao could observe that invisible Ren Race assassin’s every movement, including the instantaneous changes of his muscles and the flow of his true essence.
Even the direction of his next attack was within his grasp.
He kept approaching the invisible assassin but didn’t initiate an attack, waiting for the moment the other party launched an attack.
That moment was when the other party would be at his strongest point but also reveal his biggest flaw.
“Commander Lin, your disciple is truly not simple!”
Anyone with good judgement could see that Ling Xiao was an oriole, and the invisible assassin was a mantis.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
Although Ling Xiao didn’t reveal any aura while standing there, he was like an ordinary but sharp sword. Once it came out of its sheath, it would see blood.
Swish!
The invisible assassin finally found his next target.
Although the attack on General Ninth Month was a failure, it had caused a big effect since General Ninth Month, who originally had had an advantage, fell into a disadvantageous position.
Therefore, he was still targeting Rank Nine powerhouses.
General First Month?
Ling Xiao noticed that the invisible assassin was rushing towards General First Month. If this attack were successful, even if General First Month didn’t die, he would be seriously injured.
One could well imagine that if General First Month fighting against a peak rank nine demonic beast suffered a sudden attack, the result would be very miserable.
Swish——
At that moment, Ling Xiao turned into an afterimage and rushed out.
Lin Ze and the others immediately tensed.
They didn’t dare to utter a sound in fear that the invisible assassin would notice Ling Xiao’s existence.
This scene made many martial artists very nervous.
Their opponents weren’t very powerful, so they could still pay attention to Ling Xiao’s situation.
“Puff——!”
“Ah——!”
Floating Snow Sword stabbed the invisible assassin’s head, spraying blood all around.
That invisible assassin screamed and hastily retreated.
“Blood?”
“A scream?”
“He actually succeeded, so amazing!”
Even Peak Rank Eight Martial Masters couldn’t understand how Ling Xiao was able to stab that invisible assassin.
Even if Ling Xiao could completely restrain his aura, the other party was moving at a high speed and had paused only for a moment during the attack.
This chance was very fleeting.
None of them could have grasped it, so how had Ling Xiao, a Rank Seven Martial Vein Martial Master, done it?
“It’s a pity!”
Ling Xiao immediately retreated, his figure quickly disappearing.
The other party didn’t even realize who had attacked him.
Ling Xiao was not satisfied with this attack.
The other party truly deserved to be an Initial Rank Nine Martial Vein Martial Master. Even though he was an assassin, his defensive power was incomparable to ordinary martial artists.
Although he hadn’t used any powerful technique, he had still only barely pierced the skin.
One should know that his Floating Snow Sword was an excellent-grade treasure artifact.
However, since his target had been injured, it proved that he might find success along this path.
Since one sword was not enough, he would use thirteen!
A cold smile appeared on Ling Xiao’s face.
He knew that he wouldn’t be able to kill this invisible assassin, but he didn’t need to kill him; he just needed to provoke the other party into focusing on him, Ling Xiao.
“Commander Lin, did that reassure you?”
Ling Xiao returned to Lin Ze’s side and asked with a smile.
“You boy! Never mind, just be careful. I’ll lie in ambush nearby. Lead that fellow over, and I’ll kill him!”
Lin Ze didn’t know why, but he had always felt that Ling Xiao was reassuring, even more reassuring than the Twelve Tiger Guards.
“Commander Lin, although your plan is good and fine for dealing with demonic and mechanical beasts, it is not good enough to deal with a Ren Race Martial Master.”
Ling Xiao added with a smile: “I have a better plan.”
“Is it really possible?”
Lin Ze frowned upon hearing his plan.
“Rest assured. It will definitely be possible!”
Ling Xiao nodded enthusiastically.
“Fine, we’ll do as you said.”
Lin Ze considered it a bit. If he lay in ambush, that would definitely arouse the other party’s suspicion. After all, if a Peak Rank Nine Martial Vein Martial Master suddenly disappeared, anyone would become cautious.
Going out into the field, Ling Xiao repeated the same trick.
When the invisible assassin launched a sneak attack, Ling Xiao attacked with his sword again.
However, this time, the other party was prepared.
“Little bastard, it turned out to be you!”
The Ren Race’s invisible assassin noticed Ling Xiao’s existence and was so angry that he almost breathed out fire.
He had actually been injured by a Rank Seven Martial Vein Martial Master. If this was spread out, wouldn’t he be ashamed to death?
He carefully looked at Lin Ze’s position and discovered that Lin Ze was still sitting cross-legged while recovering.
Thus, he was at ease.
This couldn’t be a trap. After his first successful sneak attack, this boy must have become complacent.
Well, since you like to sneak attack others, I will let you die to a sneak attack.
Ren Race’s invisible assassin sneered.
He easily blocked Ling Xiao’s attack and prepared a counterattack.
However, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong.
This Rank Seven Martial Master was far stronger than he had thought, even he had to be a bit careful.
Moreover, at the end of Ling Xiao’s first sword move, another sword move was linked.
What was even more terrifying was that the attacks seemed to accumulate strength, and the attack power had increased by several times.
“Stinking boy, courting death!”
Thirteen swords in total!
A trifling Rank Seven Martial Master actually prevented him from counterattacking for a while. This was truly shameful.
Although he was not injured, he was furious.
He suddenly thrust his dagger, attempting to kill this complacent boy on the spot.
Bang!
The young martial artist’s body exploded into blue smoke and disappeared.
A clone?
Moreover, a martial clone?
Was this boy a disciple of the hidden twelve sects?
The invisible assassin was startled.
However, Ling Xiao seized this moment to display his strongest move.
Flying Snow——!
Moreover, it was an enhanced Flying Snow!
This was even stronger than the one he had used against Ming Tian.
Puff!
This time, the invisible assassin was not lightly injured.
His leg was stabbed deeply enough that his bone could be seen.
Aren’t you fast?
Then, I will stab your leg!
“Commander Lin, it’s up to you now!”
Cloud Dragon Divine Walk!
After stunning the invisible assassin, Ling Xiao used a Transcendent Movement Technique to slip away without any hesitation.
The invisible assassin had yet to understand what was going on when a big blade suddenly appeared in front of him.
Lin Ze was a Peak Rank Nine powerhouse, so he could cover even a distance of several hundred meters in an instant.
He definitely had the ability to defeat the invisible assassin. Merely, he couldn’t see this fellow.
But now, Ling Xiao had injected his heavenly dragon true essence into the invisible assassin’s body via the Floating Snow Sword.
Even when invisible, that trace of heavenly dragon true essence would reveal his position.
Naturally, the invisible assassin didn’t know this point.
He didn’t even understand why Ling Xiao had attacked him while knowing that he couldn’t successfully kill him.
But now, he only felt the chilly embrace of death.
