Chen Yang was now locked in battle with Xing Yun, the two of them soaring into the clouds, their fight dazzling to behold. Those present were no novices; they could see the clash of power clearly from a distance.
Although Xing Yun's character left much to be desired, his position as the captain of the Golden Execution Squad indicated he possessed some level of skill.
After a failed ambush, Xing Yun quickly concealed himself. As an assassin, he was on a different level than Chen Yang in terms of realm, his aura perfectly retracted. Chen Yang lost sight of his target but remained calm, knowing that those from the Dark Realm rarely achieved victory in direct confrontations; however, they excelled in stealth.
Similarly, he began to hide his presence, though his movements were slow and clumsy, like a tree stump being forced underwater. He lacked the natural grace that Xing Yun exhibited.
Watching Chen Yang's actions from the shadows, Xing Yun couldn't help but scoff inwardly. A Yellow Rank assassin was still a Yellow Rank; his method of concealment was far too awkward, with flaws glaringly obvious, like a beacon in the darkness guiding his blade.
However, he soon realized that the apparent flaws surrounding Chen Yang seemed to transform into countless gaping maws. The moment he made a move to attack, he would be devoured. He could ascertain that Chen Yang was not employing any of the commonly used cultivation methods from the Dark Realm.
Xing Kong and the others also noticed this; Chen Yang resembled a monstrous beast slowly showcasing its immense power.
Only Zuo Dao and Chen Yang himself understood that this was due to Chen Yang's lack of proficiency with his cultivation method. Zuo Dao chuckled inwardly at the expressions of those around him.
Chen Yang also found himself silently laughing at the situation. Although he had grasped the Blood Moon Current cultivation method to some extent, executing it still felt somewhat awkward. However, he reassured himself that once this phase passed, Xing Yun wouldn't attack without complete confidence. He decided to treat it as practice.
Though time was tight, Zuo Dao waited until Chen Yang fully melded into the void before issuing him a command for swift resolution.
Xing Yun watched as Chen Yang gradually disappeared into the emptiness but hesitated to strike. Despite Chen Yang's previous status as merely a Yellow-Level Assassin, his current demeanor did not resemble that of an ordinary king-level killer. Even when facing Xian Lan, Xing Yun had never felt this way.
Instinctively glancing down at Zuo Dao, he wondered if this was all due to that individual.
In an instant, the consequences of his distraction were beyond his imagination. Two short swords appeared before him as if they had transcended both space and time.
Chen Yang, wielding Dual Swords, launched an attack like a ghost. The sudden appearance of the Dual Swords took Xing Yun by surprise. As a killer, his instincts kicked in before his mind could react, and his body responded instinctively.
With a swift twist of his long sword, he barely managed to block the opponent's Dual Swords, yet he could already feel the sharpness of the Sword Edge on the back of his neck.
Xing Kong and the others watched in shock as their pupils dilated. They had not even noticed how Chen Yang moved; in an instant, he was right in front of Xing Yun, attacking.
When the first strike missed, Chen Yang retreated a thousand miles away. By the time Xing Yun regained his senses and attempted to counterattack, the figure had vanished.
Extending his Divine Sense, he enveloped a hundred-mile radius within his perception but found no trace of his opponent.
No assassin can achieve perfect invisibility; there are always clues to be found. This is a fundamental lesson for anyone in the business. Yet no matter how hard he searched, he could not sense Chen Yang at all. It was as if his opponent had melted into thin air.
The Blood Moon Current Cultivation Method revealed its wonders to the world for the first time in Chen Yang's hands. As a renowned assassination Cultivation Method from ancient times, Blood Moon Current allowed one to transform into any object they desired, albeit temporarily—a true reversal of nature.
At that moment, Chen Yang had temporarily transformed into a cloud in the void, drifting toward Xing Yun.
“Heart Cloud.” The warning from Xian Lan had just sounded when Chen Yang launched another attack. His Dual Swords surged forward like a Blood Moon Dark Current aimed at Xing Yun.
“Have you never heard the saying about a true gentleman watching chess in silence? My apologies; I forgot you are assassins,” Zuo Dao said with a hint of sarcasm. However, Xian Lan and the others paid him no mind; they were captivated by Chen Yang's techniques.
What a perfect method of transformation! If it weren't for Xian Lan noticing that the cloud was drifting in the wrong direction, they might not have realized its intricacies. After Chen Yang's attack, they were even more certain that he was employing a Cultivation Method better suited for them.
The sword momentum flowed like water, trapping Xing Yun within it. In the midst of a Blood River, only the sound of clashing weapons echoed; even when extending their senses, they could not discern what lay within the Blood River.
At that moment, Xing Yun found himself at a disadvantage for the first time against such an unusual attack and could only defend passively. This was something that had never happened since he became the Squad leader.
Chen Yang knew that his attacks could not last long, so he put forth all his strength with every strike.
The sword moved like a blood moon, and the momentum was like a dark current. In Xing Yun's eyes, he could only see beautiful arcs of blood-red crescents radiating a cold moonlight. He realized he was injured, and anger surged within him. He never imagined he would be wounded by the sword of a Yellow-Level Assassin; this was something he could not accept.
"Dark Soul Explosion."
Xing Yun's roar echoed suddenly from the Blood River, startling Xing Kong and the others. They did not expect that in just a few moments, Chen Yang would force Xing Yun to unleash the unique killing move of the Dark Realm Gold Execution Captain.
A powerful aura erupted as a dark current surged forth from the Blood River. Countless souls roared within the dark current; they were all Vengeful Spirits who had perished at Xing Yun's hands, cruelly imprisoned within his body.
At that moment, the atmosphere darkened significantly with the sudden eruption, but as the dark current emerged, the Blood River grew even stronger.
Zuo Dao couldn't help but mutter two words through clenched teeth: "Fool."
The Blood Moon Current was inherently somewhat sinister, but after Zuo Dao passed it on to Chen Yang, he made modifications. It was well-known that for the Blood Moon Current to reach its full potential, an enormous amount of blood was required to unleash its maximum power.
After Zuo Dao's alterations, he did not want Chen Yang to become a bloodthirsty being; thus, the power of the Cultivation Method was correspondingly reduced. However, the existence of "darkness" triggered another characteristic of the Blood Moon Current: darkness itself.
At this moment, when Xing Yun unleashed Dark Soul Explosion, it was not an act of self-preservation but rather a way to supplement Chen Yang. The instant Dark Soul Explosion erupted, Chen Yang felt powerful forces surging into his body. Yet this power was chilling and piercing.
Zuo Dao was somewhat worried; he feared that Chen Yang might not be able to resist the temptation of such power and would instead embrace the darkness.
As the power flowed into him, Chen Yang's eyes revealed a mix of surprise and desire. He continuously operated the Blood Moon Dark Current, voraciously devouring the Dark Soul unleashed by Xing Yun.
However, after a brief moment, he sensed something amiss; there was a slight rejection occurring within his body. Although this feeling was faint, he still noticed it.
Although Zuo Dao made some modifications to the Cultivation Method, its essence remained unchanged. The Blood Moon Dark Current was still a cultivation method of evil power.
Zuo Dao had never cared about the righteousness or wickedness of the Cultivation Method; in his view, the morality of the method depended entirely on the user. At this moment, Chen Yang was undergoing the most severe test of his life.
One choice was to embrace the darkness and become a powerful figure; the other was to remain true to himself and fully harness this power for his own use. The distinction between these two choices lay in the fact that while the former could grant him immense strength in a short time, it would ultimately lead to his demise at Zuo Dao's hands. Zuo Dao would never allow such a situation to arise.
As the two began their fierce battle, it seemed like a long time had passed, but in reality, it was barely half a tea's worth of time. The events that unfolded in such a short span left the leaders of the Golden Punishment squad feeling bewildered.
Chen Yang's sudden surge in strength took them by surprise, making them even more wary of Zuo Dao.
Xing Kong and Xian Lan exchanged glances secretly, and together with Xing E, they suddenly launched an attack on Zuo Dao and his companions. Although Yan Sui Fa was observing the battle, most of his mind was focused on the assassins across from him. The moment Xing Kong and the others initiated their attack, he moved as well.
However, this time he threw out the Formation that Zuo Dao had previously given him. He didn't know why he did this, but his subconscious told him that it was absolutely the right thing to do.
The Formation flew out to meet the incoming attackers but proved utterly ineffective; a single burst of energy struck it, causing it to shatter into countless fragments.
A ripple of spatial disturbance spread out as the Formation broke apart. A powerful sense of unease washed over several squad leaders. Just as this feeling arose, they found their attacks sinking into what felt like quicksand—heavy and burdensome.
Abandoning the Pawn to Slaughter the Weak Water was the name of this Formation.
Visible strands of faint light spread around them, quickly forming a massive net that enveloped them.
Powerful beams of light shot out from the mesh, catching the Golden Execution Squad off guard and resulting in immediate casualties.
Xing Kong and several other leaders quickly set up defenses around themselves. The power of the light was not great, but its density was overwhelming. As more and more mesh openings formed, more beams appeared, intertwining in groups of two or three.
The Sacrificial Piece is a Formation designed for sacrifice, while the Slaughter represents bloody carnage, and Weak Water signifies encirclement.
Abandoning the Pawn to Slaughter the Weak Water is a brand new formation developed by Zuo Dao himself. Its power may not be the strongest, but the more opponents there are, the more the Formation's might is revealed.
This is the principle of quantity enhancing quality.
As the light increased, its diameter grew larger and larger, eventually forming a colossal pillar between the earth and sky, trapping a group of people within it.
The battle between Chen Yang and Xing Yun also underwent a transformation. The Dark Soul was devoured, leaving Xing Yun in despair; he never expected that his offensive tactics would become a supplement to enhance his opponent's strength.
It took him a considerable amount of time to collect those Dark Souls, yet they were consumed by Chen Yang in an instant.
In Chen Yang's eyes, a bloodthirsty gleam emerged. The overwhelming power caused him to lose himself.
Kill; his mind was filled with the word "kill" in a crimson haze.
Blood; all he could see was the presence of fresh blood.
