Chapter 1077: Chapter 665: Counteraction! (4K)_2

However, the Chaos Clock was repelled, and the assassin, like a specter, clung onto him, a dagger appearing in his hand.

The dagger emitted a dark purple glow, clearly coated with a deadly poison.

A Yama-level assassin; even the dagger used is a Dao Artifact, and the poison on the dagger can seal the throat upon seeing blood.

Ji Xuan fought back with the Immortal Sword, desperately avoiding the dagger.

“Your strength is commendable, but unfortunately, I am eight realms higher than you; you are destined to perish.”

The right sleeve of the assassin suddenly aimed at Ji Xuan, and silver needles shot out one by one.

“Storm Pear Flower Needles?”

Ji Xuan quickly dodged and deflected the silver needles with her Longsword in the process.

Storm Pear Flower Needles, a Fourth Grade Dao Artifact-level concealed weapon!

Moreover, the Storm Pear Flower Needles might be poisoned!

Ji Xuan tried her best to dodge, barely avoiding all the Storm Pear Flower Needles, and the dagger of the assassin came forth again.

The Storm Pear Flower Needles were merely forcing Ji Xuan into the intended position, but the assassin’s dagger was the real killing move!

The opponent is a peerless assassin who dares to assassinate even the Son of the Demon God, experienced and seasoned, besides having deep cultivation power and rich combat experience; Ji Xuan’s movements had been predicted.

The dagger thrust in, and Ji Xuan had no way to evade.

Swish.

The dagger pierced flesh, a figure blocked the dagger for Ji Xuan.

“Master!”

Ji Xuan’s eyes widened as her master, Lu Changsheng, arrived just in time to block the fatal stab for her.

Lu Changsheng’s gaze was sharp, and at the moment the assassin stabbed him, his sleeve aimed at the assassin: “You’re not the only one with Storm Pear Flower Needles.”

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

The Storm Pear Flower Needles from Lu Changsheng’s sleeve fired at full force, hitting the assassin!

The power of the assassin was not equal to the original, and hit by more than twenty silver needles, he was forced to retreat.

Pfft.

Lu Changsheng repelled the assassin, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.

The mouthful of black blood reeked of foul smell, clearly a sign of poisoning.

“Master, are you alright? This is a Detoxification Pill from our Heavenly Fox Clan, please take it quickly.”

Ji Xuan hurriedly took out various detoxification pills.

If not for her master blocking the dagger for her, she might have been killed.

“The dagger is coated with Black Marsh Venom, if he doesn’t have the corresponding detoxification pill, he will certainly die.”

Two assassins arrived, one of them summoned back the assassin, who merged with the body.

He coldly glared at Lu Changsheng, surprised at how easily the target was achieved.

“Master, don’t die, I will save you…”

Ji Xuan was frantic, wanting to personally feed Lu Changsheng the detoxification pill.

Lu Changsheng firmly grabbed her wrist, steadying his excited disciple: “I’ve already taken the White Lotus Saint Elixir, which can counteract this poison. That mouthful of black blood, I’ve already forced the poison out.”

Lu Changsheng’s disciple, Xiao Fan, was sent to train under the Pill Saint Sect of Lianshan Holy Land, mastering all kinds of elixirs, detoxification pills being a major category, and Lu Changsheng learned quite a bit about detoxification pill effects from Xiao Fan.

The Nineteenth Grade detoxification pill “White Lotus Saint Elixir,” is exactly capable of counteracting Black Marsh Venom.

“That’s great…”

Ji Xuan’s heart eased, wiping the tears from her eyes.

“You little brat, didn’t expect you to possess the White Lotus Saint Elixir and recognize Black Marsh Venom immediately; meticulous mind. No wonder someone offered a sky-high price to have you killed.”

The two assassins saw how Lu Changsheng solved the poison immediately and felt he isn’t so simple, equal to Prince Wang whom they were ordered to assassinate.

“Your concern now shouldn’t be killing me but yourself.”

Lu Changsheng wiped the blood off his mouth, a smile forming at the corner.

He not only detoxified immediately but also countered the opponent.

“What?” The assassin who regained his external appearance listened to Lu Changsheng’s words, finally realizing and checking his body, his face suddenly changed, “Your Storm Pear Flower Needles are coated with Devouring Heaven Demon Poison!”

He immediately sealed the meridians near the poisoned area to prevent the spread of Devouring Heaven Demon Poison.

“Devouring Heaven Demon Poison?! How does he have such a lost strange poison?”

Another assassin was also shocked.

As a Yama-level assassin, he was also a master of poisons, familiar with every strange poison.

According to the Strange Poison List of Lianshan Holy Land, the Devouring Heaven Demon Poison produced by the Great Accomplished Devouring Demon Worm, ranks sixth.

Even Great Powers could perish from the Devouring Heaven Demon Poison.

The Devouring Heaven Demon Poison used by Lu Changsheng wasn’t from the Great Accomplished Devouring Demon Worm, but the two assassins weren’t Great Powers, rather Greatly Accomplished God-Kings.

The assassin hit by the Devouring Heaven Demon Poison sealed his heart veins and took various detoxification pills, barely saving his life.

However, this caused one assassin to be severely poisoned and lost most of his combat power.

“You little brat, you’re indeed troublesome.”

Unknowingly, the two assassins felt a tingling fear of Lu Changsheng.

They joined hands to kill the Demon Realm’s Divine Child but were trapped by the second insignificant target.

The opponent’s cultivation level seemed weak, but he had multiple life-saving methods threatening them, and his decisive action, ensuring their downfall if careless.

“You must leave now.”

Though Lu Changsheng detoxified from Black Marsh Venom, relying on the Invincible Gang Qi and Eternal Indestructible Art’s tyrannical physique, he forcibly took a stab from the opponent but it was not pleasant.

Only if Ji Xuan fled quickly and brought reinforcements would they truly escape.

Even a single assassin on the Divine King Ranking was beyond their handling.

Only because of the opponent’s carelessness, one assassin was lost; the other’s skills and Divine skills should not be weaker.

“She can’t be allowed to escape, otherwise the Demon Foxes of Tu Mountain will be alerted, and we would be captured alive; the Demon God won’t spare us!”

The poisoned assassin saw through Lu Changsheng’s plan with his disciples, urging the other assassin to act quickly.

They had entered the Demon Realm to assassinate the Demon Race’s Divine Son, the Demon God’s fury mustn’t land them in his hands.

It wouldn’t be as simple as being killed; the Demon God would ensure their desperate struggle between life and death.

“This, I understand better than you. All-Heavens Sword Qi, heed my command! Unity of Person and Sword, return to dust!”

The other assassin formed a sword technique with his right hand, boundless sword qi soared to the sky, a million sword qi shredded the firmament, and thousands of mountain ranges crumbled.

This is a world of swords.

And this Divine King-level assassin, was akin to the master of this world.

“You’re the peerless expert ranked seventy-fourth on the Divine King Ranking, Xie Dongjun!”

Lu Changsheng forced the opponent to use his famous ultimate skill, immediately guessing his identity.

The opponent indeed a renowned master on the Divine King Ranking.

Xie Dongjun, originally a genius of the Yunlou Palace, one out of Heavenly Court’s ten thousand Divine Palaces; fifty million years ago, Xie Dongjun violated heaven’s rules, exiled by the Heavenly Court, later leaving Yunlou Palace and becoming an assassin, wanted by the Heavenly Court.

No wonder the Demon God found Heavenly Court’s control methods within Prince Wang’s servant’s body.

Xie Dongjun originally a Heavenly General, naturally versed in Heavenly Court’s various Divine Skills.

This clarifies it.

The sole mystery is who ordered Xie Dongjun to assassinate the Demon Realm’s Divine Child.

“Even knowing my identity, it’s too late; you two are doomed to die, taking this secret to dust together!”

Xie Dongjun’s sword qi was terrifying, like layers of dense clouds.

This is the Yunlou Palace’s Sect-defining Ultimate Art!

Though Yunlou Palace doesn’t rank among the Eight Divine Palaces, it is one of the top of the ten thousand Divine Palaces, and its ultimate study is exceedingly domineering.

Moreover, Xie Dongjun was one of Heavenly Court’s peerless talents back then, hence after being exiled, he ranked on the Divine King Ranking, very likely entering the Longevity Immortal Realm within his lifetime.

“I live and die with my master.”

The surrounding space had been sealed by Xie Dongjun’s sword qi, Ji Xuan defiantly spat a mouthful of blood essence, fully activating the Chaos Clock, its purple glow intensified.

Ji Xuan chose to fight alongside her master.

“With things like this, we have no choice but to fight.”

Lu Changsheng summoned the Human Sovereign Cauldron.

This Ancient Cauldron emerged, radiating ten-thousand rays of golden light, echoing the Chaos Clock’s purple glow.

He managed to use Devouring Heaven Demon Poison to deal with one assassin, creating an opportunity, now with Ji Xuan, they might have a chance against the remaining opponent.

“What sort of being are you?”

Xie Dongjun found the one he was ordered to kill overly troublesome.

He had no absolute confidence left.
