As Ye Yu's words faded, a more intense killing intent enveloped him in an instant. This invisible will felt like a transparent glass dome, trapping Ye Yu firmly within a confined space.
At that moment, Ye Yu felt as if all his limbs and bones had been frozen simultaneously, leaving him powerless even to raise his weapon in resistance. This suffocating sense of helplessness stirred a surge of energy in his mind. He understood that the opponent was using an invisible will to suppress and restrict his movements. Such a situation typically occurs with those who have committed countless murders; their accumulated killing intent becomes so potent that it can influence others.
This assassin had not only amassed a vast amount of killing intent but had also mastered it, directing it precisely to affect Ye Yu's will according to his thoughts. Fortunately, Ye Yu had made progress in his Mental Power training. Just as the opponent's will attempted to control him, Ye Yu's Mental Power suddenly transformed into an invisible blade, clashing violently with the opponent's will!
"Ah—" A piercing pain shot deep into Ye Yu's mind, as if his head were being torn apart in an instant, reaching down to the depths of his soul.
At the same time, Ye Yu could no longer maintain his balance and collapsed to the ground. Although he tried desperately to control his Mental Power to alleviate his discomfort, the spinning sensation felt like massive waves crashing on the shore—one after another—making it impossible for him to regain control over his dizziness.
Suddenly, at that moment, a shadow flashed beside Ye Yu and directly blocked him. A jolt ran through Ye Yu's heart as he instinctively prepared to stab with the Phantom Blade.
In the next instant, he realized that the newcomer was Qin Guan. At that very moment, Qin Guan's legs pushed off the ground forcefully as he swung his fist toward a specific direction. Despite feeling utterly weak, Ye Yu could see a faint shadow where Qin Guan aimed his attack.
All of this transpired in an instant; just as Ye Yu fell, Qin Guan had already reached him and attacked a meter away.
"Swish—" A sound like a blade slicing through fabric echoed in the Command Hall. Ye Yu seemed to see a faint green light flickering in Qin Guan's palm.
Just as quickly as the sound emerged, Qin Guan's hand had already pierced through that faint shadow.
"Did it succeed?" Ye Yu observed that Qin Guan's hand was positioned right where the heart would be located on a human body. Even the strongest warrior would not survive with their heart pierced.
Then an eerie scene unfolded: the shadow that had been pierced through the heart staggered back several steps but showed no signs of dying. Even more terrifying was that the spot where Qin Guan had struck seemed to close up instantly, as if nothing had ever happened at all.
"Not good!" Qin Guan exclaimed, and in an instant, his body shot forward like a stone thrown from a catapult, crashing toward the Command Console.
Ye Yu barely had time to panic, not even enough to cry out. It was only then that he realized there were two enemies. At that moment, the frail figure that had sent Qin Guan flying stood right in front of Ye Yu, emanating a chilling aura that sent shivers down his spine.
In a moment of desperation, Ye Yu's latent potential surged once more. Despite feeling utterly drained, he found an unexpected strength. With a powerful push against the ground, he slid backward like a fish escaping a net. However, his opponent was relentless; just as Ye Yu thought he had evaded their pursuit, they followed him like a shadow.
In the next instant, Ye Yu struck the ground with one hand, using the rebound to spin and regain his footing. At the same time, he focused what little Mental Power he had just regained toward the approaching foe. Without hesitation, his Phantom Blade transformed into a streak of light and shot toward them. Though simple in execution, the speed was blinding.
At this moment, Ye Yu's Mental Power locked onto his target. He believed that no matter what happened now, this strike would surely inflict significant damage!
In what felt like an eternity compressed into a heartbeat, as soon as the thought crossed Ye Yu's mind, the Phantom Blade pierced through his opponent's body. This weapon was crafted by Jin Shan himself; Ye Yu knew just how sharp it was!
"Shh—" Ye Yu heard the sound of the Phantom Blade entering flesh and couldn't help but show a hint of relief on his face. But at that moment, he noticed a faint smile spreading across the expressionless face of the frail figure. It was a smile reminiscent of a fisherman who had just reeled in a boat full of fish—satisfied yet slightly proud.
The next moment, an overwhelming sense of dread washed over Ye Yu. Before he could react, a dark hand resembling a shadow appeared before his chest. Though it seemed weak and powerless, Ye Yu knew it could deliver a fatal blow.
In that critical moment, every muscle in Ye Yu's body tensed up. The muscles below his waist twisted like tightly wound gears and suddenly released tremendous energy, propelling him backward with explosive force!
"Whoosh—" Just as Ye Yu retreated, the shadowy hand closed in on his chest. In the next instant, with a swift motion of his wrist, he spun the Phantom Blade he had drawn and slashed at the shadowy hand.
"Shh—" As expected, Ye Yu's strike cleanly severed the opponent's wrist! However, an eerie scene unfolded; despite having cut off the hand, it continued its relentless assault and struck against Ye Yu's chest with unstoppable force.
Instantly, an overwhelming power surged through Ye Yu's body from his chest to his limbs. In that moment, it felt as if his body was shattering into pieces. Yet at that very instant, a mysterious energy spread throughout him alongside that destructive force, almost repairing his body as it threatened to break apart.
"Bang—" Ye Yu fell to the ground like a rag, his entire body unable to move except for his thoughts. He had completely lost any ability to act. The Shadow Assassin's seemingly gentle strike had left Ye Yu gravely injured and on the brink of death!
At that moment, Long Ruofei, who had remained inactive until now, suddenly showed a hint of concern on his face. Then, a small silver sphere, glowing with a faint silver light and about the size of a thumb, shot toward the center of the arena where the assassin stood.
"Buzz—" A massive wave of energy surged forth in an instant. At that moment, the silver sphere vanished, replaced by a spherical space shimmering with a pale blue light. Inside that space were the thin assassin and a faint shadow!
