Chapter 216: Chapter 216 Shadow Martial Spirit_1

Chop!

Crack!

There was no astonishing momentum.

Because Lin Ze concentrated all his rage and True Essence into the edge of the blade.

With this swing, the invisible assassin barely had time to shift his body before his right arm, torso, and legs were slashed off by a full one-third.

The saber technique Lin Ze used seemed ordinary, but it was, in fact, a genuine Transcendent Saber Technique, and his cultivation level was far stronger than that of the invisible assassin.

If the blade had struck a vital point, the invisible assassin would have undoubtedly died.

However, because he couldn’t see his target, he could only attack guided by the Divine Dragon True Essence, and his strike was still slightly off.

Even so, the invisible assassin was barely clinging to life, fleeing frantically towards the battlefield’s fortifications.

"Think you can kill someone and just leave? Wishful thinking!"

If the assassin had been an early-stage Martial Master of Ninth Layer Martial Pulse in his prime, Ling Xiao certainly would not have been a match.

But now, the assassin was hanging on to half a life left, let alone Ling Xiao, even an ordinary 7th level Martial Artist could kill the scoundrel.

After all, Lin Ze’s attack was no joke; it wasn’t only the superficial damage, but his True Essence was also rampaging wildly inside the opponent’s body.

Every strand of Lin Ze’s True Essence was like a steel needle, rendering the invisible assassin extremely weak.

So weak that most Martial Artists would have the capacity to kill him.

The problem was still that the scoundrel could become invisible, hence no one else could make a move.

I’ll send you on your way!

Blood Saber Shadow King Kill!

Ling Xiao’s Cloud Dragon Divine Movement was incredibly fast, instantly catching up to the panicked fleeing invisible assassin, and then flicked his longsword.

He stabbed at the assassin’s most vulnerable spot from an incredibly tricky angle.

Thrust!

Once again, the invisible assassin was stabbed by Ling Xiao.

This time, the result was naturally different from before.

Previously, the invisible assassin was unharmed and did not have to fight against Lin Ze’s fearsome True Essence.

But now, the assassin’s strength was probably less than that of a Martial Artist at the peak of the Martial Vein Seventh Layer.

When Ling Xiao stabbed out, the crazy Snow Lotus True Essence poured into the Floating Snow Sword, merging into the invisible assassin’s body along the blade.

The already split wound became even more terrifying.

Crack, crack, crack!

The body of the invisible assassin gradually froze and then appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Ling Xiao gently kicked it, and the crystalline body shattered to the ground, turning into a pile of ice chunks.

Although there was no grand display of power.

No horrific destruction.

Yet this scene profoundly shocked all the Martial Artists who witnessed it.

"The invisible assassin has been killed!"

"The biggest trouble has been dealt with!"

"What’s that young man’s name?"

"You don’t know? He’s Lin Shuai’s true disciple, Ling Xiao!"

"No wonder! So it’s him, no surprise he could kill the invisible assassin!"

The battlefield was buzzing!

The morale of the defending troops of Guardian City Mountain soared again, and the situation on the battlefield rapidly tilted in favor of Yunkong City.

Even among the duels of the Ninth Layer experts, Yunkong City’s side began to gain the advantage.

"Good lad, well done!"

Lin Ze stood there with the massive saber slung over his shoulder, the wound on his shoulder torn open from his recent swing of the blade, bleeding.

But he didn’t mind it; all he felt now were excitement and pride.

That was his disciple, his true disciple!

"Lin Shuai, who gets the credit for this deed?" Ling Xiao asked with a smile.

"Naturally, you!"

Lin Ze smiled and said, "If it wasn’t for you, the number of people killed by the invisible assassins would have continued to rise, and even warriors of the Nine Layers might have fallen because of this. With you here, everything changed. I was merely assisting. It would be downright embarrassing for me to vie for credit with you."

Anyone with clear eyes could see that the battle to kill the invisible assassin was initiated by Ling Xiao, planned by Ling Xiao, and ultimately resolved by Ling Xiao.

Without Lin Ze, other experts could have also completed the task.

But without Ling Xiao, no one would have prevailed.

With the invisible assassin dead, the Ninja Clan suddenly became disorganized and utterly lost their will to fight.

Without the help of the Ninja Clan, the Green-eyed Clan alone couldn’t achieve anything and gradually found themselves at a disadvantage.

One could say that if there were no other surprises, this war should be deemed over at this point.

In the recent battle, Ling Xiao had depleted a great deal of energy, so he withdrew to the rear to restore his True Essence.

"Father—!"

Within the battle formation of the Green-eyed Clan was a person wrapped in black clothing.

He was none other than Ming Tian.

Seeing his father killed and beheaded by Ling Xiao, he desperately wanted to rush forward and avenge him.

However, he was quickly stopped by a high-level Ninja Clan expert.

"Going now would mean certain death! Don’t ever forget, the hidden Twelve Sects of the Human Race have reemerged! We must be even more cautious, or if we provoke someone from the Twelve Sects, we won’t even know how we died!"

"Are the hidden Twelve Sects really that terrifying?"

Ming Tian was somewhat unconvinced.

"Hmph, what if I told you that your Master Baiyun is merely an Outer Disciple of one of the Twelve Sects, the Moon Hua Sect, what would you think then?"

"What!"

Ming Tian’s eyes widened in disbelief.

"Don’t be so shocked. According to rumors, only when the Mountain and River Martial Soul appears will the Twelve Hidden Sects reemerge in the world. And in these Twelve Sects, even the Outer Disciples are Transcendent Warriors."

The Ninja Clan expert continued, "The Twelve Sects established the Human Sacred Dynasty. Once you advance to the Transcendent Realm, try to find a way to enter one of them. If you can’t join the Twelve Sects, it’s virtually impossible to conquering the Human Sacred Dynasty."

Ming Tian clenched his teeth and said, "I understand, I will remember the vendetta for my father."

Having said this, he turned and left the battlefield.

At the command of the Ninja Clan expert, all the Ninja Warriors actually retreated completely from the battlefield.

"Damnable Ninja Clan, treacherous and unfaithful!"

When one of the Green-eyed Clan’s Pinnacle Ninth-level powerhouses noticed this, he was so angry he nearly spat blood.

This war was originated in consultation with the Ninja Clan; they were to attack overtly while the Ninja Clan struck from the shadows. In the end, they were effectively sold out.

"General, we can’t hold on, the Humans are counterattacking."

"General, what should we do? Do we retreat?"

"The Giant Elephant Puppet has been subdued, we have no more tricks left."

The Green-eyed Clan descended into panic.

Meanwhile, Yunkong City finally switched from defense to offense and began a strategic counterattack.

Ling Xiao sat serenely at the rear, crossing his legs.

With the Human Race currently in an advantageous position on the battlefield, there was no need for him to rush.

He had just obtained a complete Ninja Spirit—the Shadow Nin Spirit—from the Ninja Assassin.

This was a very formidable Ninja Spirit.

Although it had little effect on enhancing attack or defense, it could completely render a Martial Artist invisible, erasing not just the body’s visibility but also its very presence.

Unless one’s cultivation level was significantly higher than that of the Ninja Spirit’s owner by a large realm or had special abilities, detection was impossible.

Those who were stronger could perhaps sense a little within ten meters.

The aforementioned large realm refers to the leap from a Martial Master of Ninth Layer Martial Pulse to the Transcendent Realm.

So it can be said that below the Transcendent Level, this Shadow Nin Spirit is almost invincible.

Had today’s Ninja Assassin not encountered Ling Xiao, an anomaly, he might very well have completely changed the tide of the battlefield.

"This complete Shadow Nin Spirit will turn into a Shadow Martial Spirit once I assimilate it. The effect is similar to the Blood Saber Martial Spirit, but it’s far more powerful. I wonder if these two Martial Spirits could possibly be merged?"
