Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 214: Chapter 214 Invisible Assassin_1

”Leave the Giant Elephant Puppet to me!”

Just as Lin Ze was slowly rising to his feet, preparing to swing his sword and destroy the Giant Elephant Puppet, a figure appeared on the mountain.

This person was clad in blue clothes, carefree and unrestrained, with a strength that seemed to be even greater than Lin Ze’s.

”Brother Qi!”

Upon seeing this person, Lin Ze exclaimed with joy, ”Could it be that you’ve found the Moon Hua Sect?”

The man in blue revealed a bitter smile and said, ”I found them, not only the Moon Hua Sect, but the other Sects have also appeared one after another.”

”What situation? Didn’t you say that these Hidden World Sects are very secretive and difficult to find?”

Lin Ze asked, puzzled.

The man in blue was circulating his True Essence, preparing for a fight with the Giant Elephant Puppet, but speaking was still no problem.

”The Mountain and River Martial Soul has emerged, the revival of the Human Race is in sight, and the Twelve Sects that formed the Sacred Dynasty have also re-emerged. Haven’t you noticed, brother, that there are more and more martial artists awakening Broken Martial Souls? Among the Twelve Sects, there are even those who possess a complete Martial Soul.”

As he spoke, the figure of the man in blue suddenly dashed out, ”Big brother, after we resolve this war, I’ll tell you all the details.”

Lin Ze had many questions.

But he also understood that now was not the time to talk.

So he closed his eyes again, taking the time to recover, so that if danger came again, he could join the fight.

By now, enemies equivalent to a Ninth Stage Martial Artist all had opponents, temporarily unable to cause any harm to Yunkong City.

The war once again entered a stalemate phase.

Ah—!

Suddenly, on Guardian City Mountain, an Eighth Layer Peak Martial Master had his neck swiftly cut off.

He only managed to let out a miserable scream before he breathed his last.

”What’s going on?”

This sudden change made everyone tense and on edge.

An Eighth Layer Peak Martial Master, although not as strong as a Ninth Stage Martial Artist, was still extremely formidable; to have his head bizarrely cut off was indeed a cause for alarm.

Ah!

Ah!

Several more screams followed; three or four Eighth Layer Martial Masters were killed.

”Commander Lin, there’s an invisible assassin!”

Ling Xiao shouted loudly.

In his Soul Entry state, he could see a dark shadow suddenly appearing on Guardian City Mountain.

Indeed, there was just one shadow.

Yet this shadow’s cultivation level was at the initial phase of Martial Pulse Ninth Level.

He wasn’t the strongest, but because he could turn invisible and hide his aura, even Lin Ze hadn’t noticed him.

Invisible assassin!

Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts.

The danger you can’t see is the most terrifying of all.

Ling Xiao noticed that this invisible assassin should be from the Ninja Clan, and bore a resemblance to Ming Tian.

If he wasn’t mistaken, it should be someone like Ming Tian’s father or uncle.

He stopped the battle and went over to report this situation to Lin Ze.

This was a serious matter—one slip-up, and everyone on Guardian City Mountain might be wiped out, except for Lin Ze.

The person was clever, only killing martial artists below the Ninth Stage because even if the Ninth Stage Martial Artists couldn’t see him, their reactions were sharp enough that if he got close, he might get killed in a counterattack.

”A Ninja Clan assassin? As I suspected, have the Ninja Clan and the Green-eyed Clan really joined forces?”

Lin Ze became increasingly anxious in his heart.

”Commander Lin, we must deal with this invisible assassin no matter what; otherwise, we will suffer heavy casualties,” Dai Yuling said with a frown.

”It’s troubling—if he doesn’t come close to me, there’s nothing I can do,” Lin Ze said, rubbing his head.

His strength was formidable, far surpassing that of the invisible assassin; with one stroke of his sword, he could slay him.

The problem was that he couldn’t see the invisible assassin, nor could he sense their presence.

After killing their target, the assassin would quickly flee, not even leaving enough time for an attack.

”Commander Lin, why don’t we have everyone retreat and form a defensive formation? That way, the assassin won’t have an easy time striking,”

someone suggested.

”No, to withdraw our forces from the battlefield because of one invisible assassin would mean that those engaged in battle with the enemy’s Ninth Stage experts would lose support and end up in a predicament,”

Lin Ze shook his head.

”But Commander Lin, this invisible assassin is fast and can conceal both form and aura. Even a Ninth Stage Martial Artist can only sense their presence from a close distance; we can’t track their movements at all,”

a peak Eighth Layer Martial Master said with a wry smile.

The rest bowed their heads, unsure of what to do.

”Ahh...”

Suddenly, several martial artists were inexplicably stabbed in vital spots, dying on the spot without even seeing their enemy.

”Commander Lin, let me hold this guy off while you handle the killing, how about that?”

Seeing this, Ling Xiao could no longer restrain himself.

He knew that he stood no chance against a Martial Pulse Ninth Level early stage martial artist, and even escape would be difficult; he might very well be killed.

Yet, witnessing so many martial artists being killed by this person, he truly couldn’t remain indifferent.

Many of these martial artists were real men who spilled their blood on the battlefield to protect the lives of ordinary people, and now they were being killed in such a pathetic manner.

How could Ling Xiao simply stand by and watch?

The key was that he was the only one who could clearly see the tracks of the invisible assassin, and he could track them very well with his eyes.

”No!”

Lin Ze waved his hand decisively, rejecting Ling Xiao’s offer.

But just then, Ling Xiao suddenly roared, ”Jiu Yue, watch your back!”

In Ling Xiao’s vision, the invisible assassin was sneaking up to attack General Jiu Yue from behind.

Probably, the assassin figured that although General Jiu Yue was strong, he was distracted by battling a pinnacle Ninth Layer fighter from the Green-eyed Clan and therefore was a good target for a sneak attack.

Hearing Ling Xiao’s shout, General Jiu Yue did not dare to delay.

He mustered all his strength to unleash a palm strike, temporarily repelling the enemy on the frontal battlefield, then leapt up, dodging the sneak attack with an extremely strange body movement technique.

Even so, a sleeve was still slashed off.

It was indeed a split-second save.

The invisible assassin did not plan to engage General Jiu Yue head-on; after the failed attempt, he quickly escaped, causing General Jiu Yue’s counterattack to miss its mark.

”Commander Lin, we can’t hesitate any longer. I understand you want to protect me, but I’m not that easy to kill,”

Ling Xiao had a high regard for General Jiu Yue. If General Jiu Yue were killed before his eyes, it would be hard for him to accept.

”Are you sure you’re alright?”

Lin Ze valued Ling Xiao most and really didn’t want him to take this risk.

If Ling Xiao truly died because of this, he would be filled with unbearable regret.

”Commander Lin, don’t you trust me?”

Ling Xiao didn’t explain further; he leapt into action.

If Lin Ze was worried about him, then he would allay his fears.

”I’ll be right back!”

On the battlefield, Ling Xiao completely concealed his aura. If one wasn’t paying close attention, it would seem as if he had vanished from the battlefield altogether.

He was there, but without any aura.

With the battlefield in utter chaos, one truly couldn’t trace him by sight alone.

Whooosh~

Ling Xiao took a deep breath. Even though he exposed no aura, at that moment, he was able to concentrate his True Essence on the Floating Snow Sword in his hand.

This seemingly contradictory act, he somehow managed to accomplish.

Because the concealing of his aura was not due to any martial arts technique but rather due to the template of the Mountain and River Martial Soul.

At that moment, the template he presented outwardly was that of an ordinary person.

No matter how strong the martial skills he used, it was the same.
