Chapter 044: The Eye of Life and Death
"Deception: Ghost Step! Cunning!" Yang Chen dashed behind a One Star Spirit Fighter, decisively slashing open the opponent's throat with a single stroke. Without caring for anything else, he executed Ghostly Step and leaped towards another Spirit Fighter.
Before Yang Chen could finish his words, Jiang Nan, Xie Yao, Lu Ying, and others moved faster than him. Jiang Nan and Xie Yao engaged two of the opponent's Dou Huang, while Lu Ying and dozens of other Spirit Fighters of seven, eight, and nine stars formed groups of three to entangle the opposing Dou Wang experts. Although they couldn't secure a victory, with the aid of Ghostly Step, they could at least avoid defeat for the time being.
"You!" Huang Bo had yet to make a move when the enemy struck first. In an instant, dozens of his brothers had fallen before they even realized what was happening. Huang Bo felt a surge of frustration.
Despite suffering losses of dozens on his side, they still outnumbered the enemy significantly. However, the odds of winning were uncertain. The Dou Huang experts from both sides were evenly matched, making it difficult to determine a victor in the short term.
The seven Dou Wang from his Yongbing team were all entangled and unable to secure a win. As for the battles at the Spirit Fighter level, everyone in the Ying Sha Yongbing team had mastered a form of movement technique; even if three Spirit Fighters attacked together, they couldn't be killed easily due to their agility. Seeing this, Huang Bo felt a twinge of unease.
In contrast, Yang Chen moved like a ghost with dual daggers in hand. With Deception: Ghost Step still on cooldown, he continuously slaughtered Dou Shi level Yongbing members. Often before anyone could react, their throats were already sliced open by his dark daggers. Yang Chen's figure resembled that of a Ghostly Spirit as he harvested the lives of Yongbing team members. Once Deception: Ghost Step was off cooldown, another early-stage Spirit Fighter fell at Yang Chen's hands.
In just fifteen minutes, five Spirit Fighters and thirty Dou Shi level Yongbing members had perished at Yang Chen's hands.
"Shadow, go kill their team leader; don't get entangled with them," Huang Bo commanded upon seeing Yang Chen continuously slaying members of his Yongbing team. He felt pained inside and directed a Dou Wang expert to take down Yang Chen.
"Boss, it's not that I don't want to go; it's that I can't break free," replied a middle-aged man in a black robe bitterly. He thought about how he was a three-star Dou Wang but was blocked by five late-stage Spirit Fighters and couldn't kill them. He couldn't escape or defeat them; it was incredibly frustrating.
Yang Chen glanced over and instructed, "Tian Yi, let him go; I'll handle him. You help the others and take down their Dou Wang experts first!"
"Yes, leader," Tian Yi and his four companions responded. They then jumped out of the battlefield to assist Lu Ying against a four-star Dou Wang expert. Nine Spirit Fighters against one Dou Wang—who would win? Who would lose? Who knew? The middle-aged man named Shadow broke free from Tian Yi's encirclement and immediately charged at Yang Chen while saying, "Kid, your life is mine."
"What big words! Do you think you're my father?" As he spoke, Yang Chen summoned the Dragon Silk Sword in his right hand while holding the Kiss of the Demon in his left.
"Come on then; let me see your Dou Wang strength."
"Kid, don't be too arrogant! Shadow Slash!" Shadow snarled as he unleashed an almost transparent sword wave from his longsword towards Yang Chen.
Yang Chen stepped on Ghostly Step, sidestepping the sword energy, and said, "Is this your strength? Hmph."
"Kid, don't get too proud." Seeing Yang Chen easily evade his attack, the shadow was slightly taken aback and put away his contempt.
"Sword energy sweeping across." Dozens of semi-transparent sword energies swept through the area where Yang Chen stood. He knew that all his escape routes were blocked, and fighting head-on was clearly not an option; his only choice was to instantly leave the attacked area. Although Ghost Step had already cooled down, Yang Chen did not use it.
"Demon God flashes with wind and thunder!" In the next moment, Yang Chen appeared behind the shadow, aiming to strike at its throat with the Kiss of the Demon, but it was blocked by the long sword in the shadow's hand.
"Teleportation? Unfortunately, you're too slow." The shadow mocked while simultaneously thrusting a sword back at Yang Chen, forcing him to retreat.
"Too slow? Hmph, Body of Death!" Suddenly, Yang Chen's exposed skin turned pale, and a faint gray mist began to swirl beneath it.
"What an evil technique. Who exactly are you?" The shadow said gravely.
"Who am I? The one who will kill you!" Yang Chen replied wickedly.
"I have to admit, you are quite a rarity. A mere Fighter at this level can possess such terrifying speed; some One Star Fighters are not even as fast as you. Therefore, you must die today!" The shadow said fiercely.
"Sword Shadow Across the Sky!"
"Who lives and who dies today is still uncertain." Yang Chen said expressionlessly.
"Cross Tremor Sword Style!" Yang Chen roared. The sky was filled with sword shadows, all of which he struck down, none able to approach him. This was still Yang Chen holding back; otherwise, he could have struck down all those sword shadows in an instant and closed in on the shadow.
"Hmph, I admit you're more troublesome, but that's just comparatively speaking. Take this—Sword Dance of the Azure Sky's Illusion!" Sword shadows surrounded him from all directions Eight Directions, creating a mesmerizing illusion where every move seemed real yet false. It was disorienting and layered.
"Deceptive Ghost Step!" Yang Chen once again teleported behind the shadow, launching another attack with the Kiss of the Demon. "Again with this move? Kid, can't you come up with something new?" The shadow scoffed as it raised its sword to meet the Kiss of the Demon.
A sly smile appeared on Yang Chen's lips as he closed his left eye; his right eye's gray pupil revealed a hint of deadly focus. "What kind of combat skill is this? It can actually invoke fear from within? Hmph, but in the face of absolute power, everything is just a broken illusion!"
The fear effect was triggered, instantly reducing the Shadow's attributes by 50%, but it only lasted for one second. However, for Yang Chen, that was more than enough.
"Death Gaze!" The gray pupil of his right eye suddenly enlarged, filling his entire eye, fixating intensely on the Shadow.
"Why do I feel the breath of death? And why can't I move?" the Shadow said in fear, his tone filled with terror.
"Hmph! Cross Quivering Sword Style!" Yang Chen snorted coldly.
The two were close enough that in an instant, Yang Chen unleashed dozens of attacks, all striking the back of the Shadow's head and converging at one point. Among the eighty or so strikes, more than thirty carried the power of the quivering sword. In that brief moment, the back of the Shadow's head was pierced, and the wound formed a cross from the back of his head to the center of his forehead.
"What kind of combat technique is this? Your sword speed is indeed fast, and it leaves people unable to react," the Shadow struggled to turn his head, his eyes fixed on Yang Chen as he spoke haltingly.
"Cross Quivering Sword Style!" Yang Chen said coldly.
"Shadow!" Huang Bo said angrily.
"Hei Zi."
"Hei Zi." Several voices echoed.
"It's better to think about yourself than to worry about others," Jiang Nan said coldly. After saying that, he slashed Yang Chen's left hand with a sword.
