Chapter 207: Special Soul Slasher!

He was a Commander Shadow Assassin who didn’t have a name.

He was an expert at the peak of Extraordinary Rank-6 even though he had been weakened by the Battlefield of Providence!

Although he wasn’t Extraordinary Rank-7 yet, he had already successfully assassinated experts in that level as the top assassin under the command of Yuan’s East King.

Even Ji Ye failed to react in time, and he was “beheaded” immediately.

“This isn’t right!”

However, after killing Ji Ye with one slash, the eyes of the shadow in the darkness quickly changed even though his expression was obscure!

That was because no blood sprang out of the beheaded body at all, and the feedback of the cut was extremely weird.

Pa!

Also, the body that had lost its head didn’t die. Instead, it quickly raised its arms and grabbed the weapon.

“Fall back!”

As a top assassin, the Shadow Assassin leader reacted decisively.

He simply abandoned his saber and turned into a shadow, melting into the shadows far behind.

But it was already too late!

“I was waiting for you!”

After a yellow glow, Ji Ye, who looked identical to the beheaded body but was absolutely unscathed, emerged behind the Shadow Assassin leader!

Crack, crack…

Then, Ji Ye struck the man’s back with hands as quick as lightning.

This time, what he launched was not a Dragon Aura punch, but the Nine Yang True Qi that raised the air temperature by dozens of degrees, as well as the magnificent power of the Flood Dragon Blood!

Hum!

The Shadow Assassin leader was easily blown out of the shadow state.

He vomited blood that was steaming, and he was slapped more than ten meters away like a sandbag into the lobby where many people were gathered.

“Chi! Chi! Chi!”

While he was still flying, Reverend Yideng had already pointed at three main acupoints on the Shadow Assassin with One-finger Death Touch!

“Young Master…”

Seeing that Ji Ye, who had returned to the lobby after a yellow glow, was not wounded, Nie Xiaoqian, who had stopped playing the guqin, was finally relieved.

“Huh? What’s that weapon?”

An Quan, on the other hand, noticed that Ji Ye was holding a weapon that was similar to a Tang sword in his hand other than the Yellow Mallet and the Jade Dragon Sword.

[Soul Slasher]

[Level: Special]

[Rarity: Superior]

[Description: This is a long saber that the Shadow Assassin leader acquired not long ago. It’s extremely sharp, and it contains extraordinary power that can execute a creature’s body and soul. However, there may be greater powers hidden in it!]

It was another special item that involved “soul”.

Based on the description, it was definitely a powerful weapon. If Ji Ye had been cut just now, he might have not been able to resist the attack even with his self-healing ability, because the weapon could destroy both his body and soul.

It meant that his second safety measure, or his ability to let his soul survive outside of his body after his soul power reached Rank-5, was no longer effective.

But unfortunately, same as the soul virus released by the short black-robed player with the Viral Staff, the weapon had only beheaded Ji Ye’s Dragon Aura clone, which didn’t really have a soul and a physical body.

Naturally, the extraordinary power in the weapon didn’t work at all!

Also, Ji Ye sensed that he had heard the name of “Soul Slasher” somewhere before.

Judging from the weapon’s description, it was likely spoils of war from a certain battle participant who was killed by that Shadow Assassin in Xiangyang City earlier!

After all, those who entered the Battlefield of Providence were all heroes and top players of each settlement.

While there weren’t a lot of items that contained Transcendent features, each settlement was bound to have some.

“Master Ji!”

At this moment, Yang Guo, Zhou Botong, and Qiu Qianren had all returned to the lobby.

Nobody was really hurt.

After all, although the enemy inferred that there were top experts in Ji Ye’s team, they couldn’t have foreseen that there would be so many Extraordinary Rank-7 experts in this place.

On the other side, while the other assassins might be Extraordinary Rank-6 too, they definitely couldn’t have had a weapon as special as the Soul Slasher.

Therefore, they were all taken down by the top experts on Ji Ye’s side!

“It’s still a shame that some of them escaped. We failed to kill all of them.”

Through the mist array, Han Meimei detected that a few Shadow Assassins managed to break through the mist and flee from the inn.

After all, due to its low level, the array could only isolate the inn but couldn’t really trap the enemy.

Fearing that the enemy might be luring them away so that their backups could attack the inn, Yang Guo and other experts didn’t chase on.

What made Han Meimei regretful was that they didn’t have a chance to obtain “offerings” from the Shadow Assassins anymore.

“It doesn’t matter. We have a captive here. I have ways to learn the gathering locations of the Shadow Assassins from him!”

Ji Ye, however, shook his head and looked at the Shadow Assassin leader who had been frozen by Reverend Yideng.

However, after hearing that, the Shadow Assassin leader showed a hint of mockery in his eyes!

“Not good! He’s taken poison!”

As the worldly Swordsman Condor, Yang Guo sensed something and quickly dislocated the Shadow Assassin leader’s jaw.

But the blood that gushed out of his throat already became stinky and purple.

“Acupoint pointing” wasn’t as miraculous as it sounded. It could not freeze every body part completely.

Those Shadow Assassins had clearly planted poisons in themselves earlier. They could trigger such poisons in a certain way in case of danger.

Those poisons could kill them faster than the poisons that were hidden in fake teeth.

“Poisons?”

Ji Ye looked at the Shadow Assassin leader who was mocking without any panic on his face. Then, he put on a similarly mocking smile.

He stroked the man’s back again, except that his hand evinced a healing glow this time.

Hum!

At the same time, a mask that was completely transparent covered the face of this Shadow Assassin leader!

…

Whoosh!

At the edge of the inn, which was completely wreathed in a white fog that couldn’t be infiltrated, a shadow that was holding a saber quickly jumped out and dashed to a certain direction!

The saber-holding man didn’t stop running until he reached the woods several minutes later.

“Wa!”

He vomited a mouthful of blood, trembled, and seemed to be falling.

He didn’t collapse only thanks to the support of his saber.

“Boss is still alive!”

Several shadows emerged at the dark corners of the wood and quickly gave a hand to the falling shadow.

“Quickly… Quickly… report to His Majesty. I’ve acquired urgent information… There are Song people in this inn…”

The shadow who was supporting himself with his saber spoke, but he apparently couldn’t sustain much longer because of his “grave wounds”.

Therefore, his voice became lower and lower, until he sounded like a mosquito.

“What is it?”

All the other shadows stuck their heads closer to their boss earnestly.

“There is… a mosquito…”

In the next moment, a devastating flash of saber glowed in the woods!

“You…”

Those Shadow Assassins were great assassins, but they didn’t expect their own boss to kill them all of a sudden.

Also, because their boss was dying, they were eager to obtain the intelligence and report it back themselves for a promotion…

Therefore, they all leaned their heads close.

The Soul Slasher, which contained Transcendent power, was much sharper than regular weapons.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

After only one spin of the weapon, the heads of the few Shadow Assassins who had just narrowly escaped soared to the sky, and their Shadow Totems and other personal items emitted the light of spoils of war that only the battle participants could see!
