Eternal Sacred King

2460 Escaping Unscathed?

“This is bad!”

Mo Qing’s heart sank.

Over the years, she had browsed through much information about the cultivation world and had naturally heard of the capabilities of the Shadowless Sword!

Jue Wuying was the most famous assassin in the current era and had once killed many powerful Perfected Immortals above his level. He was quite famous in the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain and even the entire Heavenly World.

His combat strength might not be top-tier among the Perfected Immortals, but even the experts on the Perfected Immortal Ranking were extremely wary of him.

She and Yang Ruoxu were the only Perfected Immortals among those of the academy present.

Mo Qing believed that Jue Wuying would not dare to kill her.

In that case, Jue Wuying only had a single target left.

Yang Ruoxu!

This was a Paradise Void Perfected Immortal trying to assassinate a Convergence Perfected Immortal—there was no doubt that Yang Ruoxu would die!

In a flash, those thoughts flashed through Mo Qing’s mind.

Without hesitation, she took out an ancient painting right away and threw it in the direction of Yang Ruoxu.

This was a treasure she had obtained in Avici—the Divine Ghost Immortal Fiend Diagram!

Jue Wuying’s assassination attempt was silent and without a trace.

If she were to make a move after sensing it, it would definitely be too late.

Mo Qing could only predict beforehand and make a decision!

The Divine Ghost Immortal Fiend Diagram spread instantly and surrounded Yang Ruoxu. There were four figures on the painting and three of them were dim with blurry lines that could not be seen clearly.

However, one of them had golden hair, blue eyes and shone with a blinding golden light from head to toe. His blood qi surged and his gaze was burning with life!

Although it was only a figure on the painting, it exuded an endless might!

“God race!”

Many Perfected Immortal experts exclaimed when they saw that figure.

The characteristics of the God race were extremely obvious and could be recognized at a glance.

Many Perfected Immortals even suspected that if anyone approached and threatened Yang Ruoxu, the God figure on the painting would run out and kill all threats!

Back in Avici, a Bone Fiend of White Bones Sect merely exchanged glances with the God figure on the Divine Ghost Immortal Fiend Diagram and was blinded on the spot.

It was clear how strong the God figure was!

All these years, even when Mo Qing comprehended the Divine Ghost Immortal Fiend Diagram, she had only comprehended the God figure. There were also the ghost, immortal and fiend figures that she had yet to comprehend.

“Fufu…”

Suddenly, a scoff filled with mockery sounded from midair.

That was Jue Wuying’s laughter.

Furthermore, he had already vanished from the spot!

The most terrifying assassin of the Heavenly World had already attacked!

However, there was no reaction from the Divine Ghost Immortal Fiend Diagram that surrounded Yang Ruoxu. The God figure on it did not retaliate either.

Suddenly, Mo Qing thought of a possibility and her heart sank as blood drained from her face!

Jue Wuying’s target might not be Yang Ruoxu, but…

Su Zimo!

“I heard that this lad is irreconcilable with Prince Yuan Zuo and even offended Princess Meng Yao. I’ll kill him today as a gift for her!”

Jue Wuying’s voice sounded and his assassination had already descended on Su Zimo!

Nobody expected Jue Wuying to attack Su Zimo.

Firstly, Su Zimo was only a Heaven Immortal.

For a renowned expert like Jue Wuying, assassinating a Heaven Immortal was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut—there was no need for that.

Secondly, Mo Qing killed a Perfected Immortal expert of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.

Therefore, when Jue Wuying said that he wanted Heaven and Earth Academy to pay with a life, everyone would instinctively think that Jue Wuying would also assassinate a Perfected Immortal of the academy.

That way, both parties would be equal.

However, the actions of assassins could not be judged with common sense to begin with. The Dao of assassination required the element of surprise.

The more unexpected it was, the higher the success rate of the assassination!

“Zimo, watch out!”

The first to react was Perfected Immortal Burial Night.

Although they were both assassins, Jue Wuying’s assassination technique was imparted to him by Perfected Immortal Burial Night. Naturally, he could sense what was on Jue Wuying’s mind.

However, he was severely injured and was at the end of his road. Even his reaction was much slower, let alone help.

In fact, it was even slower than Su Zimo’s reaction!

That was because just as Jue Wuying was about to attack, Su Zimo’s spirit perception warned him wildly.

He sensed a strong sense of danger. The aura of death was so strong that it almost suffocated him!

This might be the greatest danger he had encountered since he ascended to the upper world!

An assassination attempt from a top-tier Perfected Immortal expert!

It was too fast!

Su Zimo could not see Jue Wuying’s figure, let alone the direction and trajectory of his attack.

However, he knew that Jue Wuying had already attacked.

More importantly, although Yang Ruoxu and Senior Sister Mo Qing were present, no one could help him.

By the time the two of them reacted, he would have been reduced to a corpse!

Teleportation?

His figure and aura were completely locked onto by Jue Wuying and he could not teleport at all against the might of a Perfected Immortal expert.

As for the True Dragon Nine Flashes, its release speed was slightly slower than teleportation—he could not use it as well!

Even the True Dragon Nine Flashes could not do it, let alone the Ethereal Wings, Roc Wings, Boundless Golden Light and other divine powers.

Before he could release all those divine powers, Jue Wuying would have already killed him!

Even if he wanted to abandon this Green Lotus True Body and his Essence Spirit left his body, it would not be able to match Jue Wuying’s sword!

At the end of the day, the difference in strength between the two of them was immense and his many trump cards were almost useless in the face of absolute strength.

Furthermore, for a top-tier assassin like Jue Wuying, he would definitely give it his all the moment he attacked!

He would not underestimate his opponents just because they were weak.

Therefore, the moment Jue Wuying attacked, he severed all of Su Zimo’s escape routes!

He wanted to kill with a single strike!

Poof!

Right in front of everyone, Su Zimo’s glabella was pierced by a sword!

Suddenly, Jue Wuying’s figure appeared.

“It’s over!”

Yang Ruoxu was shocked and clenched his fists with a pained expression.

It was too fast!

Although the entire process sounded slow upon narration, it happened in an instant. With a single thought from everyone, Jue Wuying’s sword had already pierced Su Zimo’s head!

Mo Qing’s eyes dimmed.

There were no miracles in this world.

Since Jue Wuying made a move, he would definitely kill all of Su Zimo’s chances of survival.

If he wanted to survive, he had to first sense Jue Wuying’s killing intent, determine the direction of the sword and have the ability to escape from its pursuit…

Even Perfected Immortals would not be able to do all of that, let alone a Heaven Immortal.

The Shadowless Sword was silent and unfathomable.

Even she could only barely catch a faint trace of it.

In other words, she could not guarantee that she would be able to escape unscathed if Jue Wuying attacked her!

However, the moment those thoughts flashed through Mo Qing’s mind, she frowned slightly and noticed something amiss.

There was no blood at all after the sword pierced Su Zimo’s head?

Something unexpected seemed to have happened on the battlefield!

Bang!

Su Zimo’s body exploded without any flesh. His body transformed into rays of green light and dissipated into the world.

Immediately after, Su Zimo’s figure suddenly appeared beside Mo Qing!

Although his face was pale as though he was scared out of his wits, his lifeforce was strong and intact!

Su Zimo was not dead?

He managed to escape from Jue Wuying’s sword?

Everyone’s eyes widened in shock!
