His emotionless voice echoed within the valley as he shouted. His voice was so loud that everyone within a hundred miles could hear him clearly.
The thousand assassins in the valley also shouted in a low voice after Wuqing let out a low shout. The voices sounded at the same time, forming a huge aura. low cultivation, or cultivators who had not experienced this kind of situation before, might lose their minds on the spot, or even be at a loss as to what to do.
The voice was actually used to intimidate, but the emotionless way of thinking was simple. If he wanted to use this voice to intimidate Han Yan, he would have to use his killing move.
No matter how Wuqing thought about it, he never expected that his deterrence would not have the slightest effect. Han Yan acted as if he didn't hear it, and the expression in his eyes didn't change in the slightest. When Heartless saw Han Yan's expression, he suddenly had a premonition that he didn't look right. But he didn't think much about it, and let out another low shout. The moment the voice sounded, his body turned into a streak of light, and shot straight towards Han Yan with shocking speed.
This speed was astonishingly fast, and it was very difficult for ordinary Infant-Changing Stage cultivators to reach such a speed. It could be seen that Wuqing had trained very hard in terms of speed. In a flash of light, Wuqing arrived in front of Han Yan. Originally, there was nothing in his hands, but now there was a dagger, the dagger was only an inch long and was extremely sharp.
This kind of dagger was not unusual. Every killer in hunting sect had one in their hand. The Merciless Dagger was different. He could sense a faint spiritual sense undulation from it, which meant that the dagger had been refined with his blood essence and had become his Intrinsic Magic Weapon.
One must know, if there were no coincidences, a cultivator could only have one Intrinsic Magic Weapon in his entire life. For such a quota to be used on an insignificant dagger, it was still very difficult for ordinary cultivators to accomplish. It was exactly like this, the cultivators of hunting sect only used daggers as an attack tool, there was almost no one who refined him into a Intrinsic Magic Weapon.
However, there was one thing that had to be said. Intrinsic Magic Weapon s were different from normal treasures, no matter what kind of treasure it was, once it was refined into a Intrinsic Magic Weapon, because of the connection between their minds and blood vessels, it would be easier to use. Right now, the dagger in Wuqing's hand was releasing a huge killing intent. If this attack really landed on Han Yan's Dantian, it would very likely destroy Han Yan's body.
In a flash, he arrived in front of Han Yan. At this moment, all the cultivators would choose to attack Han Yan's chest or attack his dantian. However, Wuqing did not do that. What was unexpected was that he suddenly kneeled on the ground, so since that was the case, his hands would be at Han Yan's chest, making it easier for him to attack.
Sure enough, after kneeling down, Wuqing raised his right hand and stabbed the sharp dagger towards Han Yan's dantian. This strike was powerful and contained a huge killing intent. With a flash of cold light, it landed on Han Yan's lower abdomen like a lightning bolt. This scene seemed to take a long time, but in fact, from the moment he ruthlessly attacked to the moment he stabbed at Han Yan's lower abdomen, he only needed half a breath.
What kind of concept was half a breath? It couldn't be any shorter, and without a lot of combat experience, extreme agility, and cultivation level, it would be almost impossible to dodge this strike. This was because there wasn't much time to think in half a breath, and everything required a cultivator to adapt.
A line between life and death. At such an important moment, people actually saw Han Yan standing in place in a daze, as if he didn't react at all.
valley mouth, Wu Nian who was meditating beside Leng Xue sighed, then closed his eyes and muttered in a low voice: "Ah, another one …" At this moment, he was certain that Han Yan was dead for sure. He had already known that Han Yan was going to die, but he didn't think that he would die so quickly. The moment he closed his eyes, he didn't hear the sound of a dagger stabbing into his body. In his confusion, he opened his eyes.
The scene that appeared in his pupils was the scene when the dagger pierced Han Yan's Dantian. But why did he not hear any sound and did not see the blood dripping onto the dagger? Wu Nian creased his eyebrows, his eyes filled with confusion. It was not that he had not thought of it before, it was that Han Yan had dodged the attack, but Han Yan only had mid infant-changing stage, and was one level lower than Wuqing. No matter how fast he was, he would not be able to escape from under Wuqing's gaze.
Wu Ming could not think of a reason, and immediately looked towards Leng Xue, only to see him looking calm, with not a single trace of worry on his face. His mouth moved a few times, and he couldn't help but ask, "How did he get out of the way?"
Leng Xue smiled slightly, and said: "Now do you believe that my husband has the ability to defeat him?"
Even so, Thoughtless could not believe it. However, Han Yan's method at least proved that he had the ability to contend with Heartless. Wu Nian didn't answer Leng Xue's question but asked instead, "I really want to know what kind of spell your husband cultivated in to be able to speed it up to this extent." At this moment, he saw Han Yan's figure gradually becoming blurry, and he transformed into a ray of remnant image, disappearing from his sight.
Leng Xue smiled but did not say a word. He looked at the center of the valley without blinking and said: "When the battle is over, I will tell you."
Although Thoughtless wanted to know, he wanted to see this battle more clearly. He instantly felt that this battle was definitely one of the most spectacular he had ever seen in his life.
Although Wuqing's attack did not kill Han Yan, it also caused the thousands of assassins watching to be greatly different. Amongst the crowd, most of them believed that Wuqing would definitely be able to kill Han Yan with a single strike. Even if he didn't die, he would at least heavily injure Han Yan. But the result? Wuqing did not even manage to touch Han Yan's shadow. No, accurately speaking, he had only touched Han Yan's remnant image.
Other than Leng Xue, the rest of them could not accept this fact, much less the heartless man who had the confidence to kill Han Yan.
The moment the heartless dagger went deep into Han Yan's abdomen, he sensed that Han Yan's original body had already dodged, leaving only his afterimage. That's right, he thought they were afterimages because afterimages were very easy to cultivate. As long as one's speed was fast to a certain degree, they would be able to leave behind afterimages in the air. But remnant image was different. Not only was it fast, it also left a trace of life in the afterimage and imaged it. Just like that, the remnant image was harder to cultivate, but it made people feel that it was real. If their cultivations were similar, then it would be difficult to determine whether it was real or fake in the blink of an eye.
Although the remnant image was very difficult to cultivate, there were still many cultivators that could do it in the hunting sect, and Heartless was one of them. What was shocked about was not that, but the fact that Han Yan had activated the remnant image, and in the instant that the original body left, he did not feel the slightest bit of spirit energy undulations, as if Han Yan had disappeared into thin air. There were only two possible explanations for this. Firstly, the opponent had cultivated the cryptography to an extremely high level, and secondly, his spiritual sense was abnormally strong, so the opponent would not be able to sense it.
Of course, it was impossible for the latter to be true. If it was the former, what spells did they cultivate to allow the cryptography to reach such a state? Not only did Wuyi want to know, Wuqing also wanted to know. Of course, Wuqing was certain that this was not a technique from the hunting sect. Since it was not, then as a disciple of the hunting sect, how could he have mastered such a technique?
Wuqing really didn't understand Han Yan's back figure. If he knew about Han Yan's past, he probably wouldn't be so suspicious.
Three hundred meters away, Han Yan's figure flashed, and he said: "Continue!"
Heartless' reaction was fast, and he immediately stood up. He did not immediately make a move, but said: "You are stronger than I expected, just a bit stronger than what I expected. However, you are still not my opponent." Then he continued, "All the brothers here know that those who are fighting with me will die after at most three attacks. It was the first time just now, and the next two times, each time is stronger than the last. Once you die, your body will be smashed into pieces."
"All these years, countless people have been fighting with me. You're the first one to be completely unharmed by the first strike." The heartless tone had the tone of cherishing a hero. He said in a deep voice, "I have a principle, if you are not injured once, I will give you a chance to leave." If you leave now, the fight will be over. If you don't leave now … "You know …"
Han Yan's expression was calm, without a trace of sadness or joy, and said: "What if you can't kill me after three hits?"
When those words came out, Wuqing couldn't help but be taken aback. He then coldly said, "What arrogant words. You successfully dodged my first attack. Do you think I can't kill you?"
"I'm not arrogant. I'm confident." Han Yan's voice was not loud, but it was sonorous and forceful, "I think, you won't be able to do it..."2
What he said sounded normal, but to Wuqing, it was not only a provocation, it was also an insult.
Wuqing coldly snorted, and his killing intent instantly increased by several times. He spoke word by word, "Good, good! You have confidence. I want to see if you really have that ability or if you only know how to boast." With that, a large amount of killing intent was emitted from his body. In just half a breath, it had covered the entire valley.
Under such a huge killing intent, the speed at which the spiritual energy was being released and its movement speed would be slowed down by several folds.
Wuqing made a hand sign and his figure flashed again. With a speed that was several times faster than before, he charged straight towards Han Yan.
The speed this time was indeed shockingly fast. If not for the help of the Xiao Hui, it would have been difficult for Han Yan to increase his speed to this extent. It could be seen that Wuqing paid an unimaginable price in terms of training speed. It was very possible that he trained a simple and monotonous assassination move for ten, hundred, or even a thousand years.
The light in the valley flashed, Wuqing suddenly appeared in front of Han Yan, but when he was still 10 meters away from Han Yan, he suddenly stopped. Then, with a flash of light, five clones appeared at the same time. One on each side, one on the top left, one on the top right, and one on the top right. The five clones were extremely real, and both their aura and expression were exactly the same.
The five clones also held daggers in their hands. In a flash, they actually stabbed towards Han Yan's surroundings at a very good angle, completely sealing off any possible spots that Han Yan could dodge. This was because a cultivator was trying his best to dodge at an extremely high speed. His current position couldn't be above, only a few locations around him. If he were to block off all directions, even if he dodged, he would still be pierced.
It was not because he didn't want to attack the top, but because he could only use five clones in an instant. He couldn't block off all of them before letting one of them attack the top. Of course, the afterimage only appeared for half a breath. If the battle couldn't be resolved within half a breath, then the avatar would disappear.
In order to slow down Han Yan's speed and release his five clones, he had to seal off Han Yan's path of escape. Actually, Wuqing was also betting. Although he betted on Han Yan's speed, it was only a little bit faster than him. But in the next moment, the five clones plus the original body did not have any targets in their attacks, which made Wuqing realize that he was completely wrong before. Han Yan's speed was way faster than his.
Outside the valley, Thoughtless' eyes widened as he cried out involuntarily, "How is this possible? I actually didn't hit it …"
