Chapter 124 Dark Night (Please Collect)

Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Dark Night (Please Collect)"Shen Yufeng?" Ling Chen instantly recognized the person who blocked his path. This man was the mid-grade Divine Thought Master wanted by the True Martial Academy. He had once attacked Ling Chen in the Divine Thought Hall’s Alchemy Pavilion, only to be taught a lesson by him. "Indeed, it’s me!" Shen Yufeng gradually approached. Ling Chen glanced at Shen Yufeng and chuckled: "What? Was the lesson I gave you last time not enough? You still dare to show up before me? Don’t you know you’re wanted by the True Martial Academy?" "Heh heh!" Shen Yufeng looked at Ling Chen with disdain and said, "Wanted is just wanted. What’s it to me?" Ling Chen nodded, "Indeed, being wanted means nothing. You’re living just fine right now. However, you’re not that lucky because you’ve encountered me." "Naive!" Shen Yufeng snorted coldly, "Boy, I understand what you mean. But, do you really think that I would show myself before you without any support?" "Come out!" As Shen Yufeng’s words fell, a figure dressed in black nightwear emerged from behind him. "Spirit Sea Realm, Ninth Layer late-stage?" Ling Chen’s pupils constricted. This person was entirely wrapped in black clothes, leaving only their eyes exposed. If one didn’t look closely, they’d be quite difficult to spot in the night. "Have you joined the Dark Night?" Ling Chen spoke. Although the Great Xia Dynasty was under the rule of King You, King Xia Jiuyou, there were still many forces that opposed him. The most famous was an assassin organization called Dark Night. It is said that the founder of Dark Night was also a mighty figure at the Palace Mansion Realm level! "Sorry, I’ve always been a member of Dark Night!" Shen Yufeng smirked, "Me joining the True Martial Academy was merely to gather intelligence for the Dark Night!" "I see." Ling Chen nodded. "By the way, Ling Chen, I’ll tell you, the formula you have, Dark Night has already refined it. That elixir, it was for Shen Hongtu, wasn’t it? Sorry, Shen Hongtu has also become one of us in Dark Night." Shen Yufeng laughed. "Shen Hongtu?" Only now did Ling Chen remember he still had the Blood-Merging Return Primordial Pill in his possession. He thought since Shen Hongtu had not looked for him, he must have already refined it. He didn’t expect it to be used by people from Dark Night to win over others instead. However, Ling Chen didn’t care about Shen Hongtu’s choice. Who says Dark Night must be evil? How good can the Great Xia Royal Family be? His father, wasn’t he captured and imprisoned by King Xia Jiuyou? "Enough, Ling Chen, you know plenty now. You can die peacefully! Tsk tsk, such a talented genius like you is going to die at my hands, the very thought of it is thrilling!" Shen Yufeng licked his lips. Ling Chen was still a youth, yet his Divine Soul cultivation was not weaker than his. How could he not be excited at the prospect of eradicating a talent of such level?

The person in black next to him stepped forward. "Will you surrender without a fight, or shall I make a move?" The black-clothed assassin spoke indifferently. Ling Chen stared at the black-clothed assassin, his expression involuntarily becoming tenser. This person was a powerhouse at the late-stage of the Ninth Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm! After all, he was only in the late-stage of the Fifth Layer of Spirit Sea Realm, his Spiritual Power merely on par with the early-stage of the Seventh Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, which was really quite a gap compared to the late-stage of the Ninth Layer. Even if he had cultivated the Heavenly Spirit Technique, he did not have a sure chance of winning! "It seems you don’t wish to surrender without a fight!" The black-clothed person’s tone was still as indifferent as ever, seeming to have no emotional fluctuations through Ling Chen’s response. The black-clothed person’s right hand opened loosely, and a black Spiritual Weapon Short Sword materialized out of thin air. Black Spiritual Power poured into it, instantly bursting forth with dark light. However, in the dark night, it was almost impossible to see clearly. "Dark Moon Slash!" The person in black clothes let out a low shout inwardly, and his short sword swung out, sending a stream of Sword Qi slashing toward Ling Chen’s abdomen. This Sword Qi was incredibly fast, almost appearing instantaneously in front of Ling Chen. Since this person was an assassin, everything from Spiritual Power to Spiritual Weapons and Spirit Arts were all inclined toward the art of assassination. As the Spiritual Weapon of the assassin in black manifested, Ling Chen also drew out his Spiritual Weapon. "Heavenly Slash!" Ling Chen channeled black Spiritual Power into the Spiritual Weapon, likewise unleashing a wave of Sword Qi. At the same time, Ling Chen explosively retreated, sending out six waves of Divine Soul Telekinesis to guard in front of him. "Bang!" The two sword energies collided with a thunderous impact, but the assassin in black’s Sword Qi was slightly superior, shattering Ling Chen’s Heavenly Slash. However, it then continued slashing toward Ling Chen. Nevertheless, hindered by Ling Chen’s six waves of Divine Soul Telekinesis, the Sword Qi was finally neutralized. "Heavenly Spirit Technique?" The black-clothed man exclaimed in shock, his mind greatly perturbed. He had not expected that this youngster in front of him was actually capable of wielding the Heavenly Spirit Technique! Moreover, this youngster only had a cultivation around the seventh layer of the Spirit Sea Realm. "How is that possible?" Shen Yufeng was equally astonished. Although his Spiritual Power Cultivation was only at the Condensing Qi Realm, he had heard of the Heavenly Spirit Technique. It was said that among those in the Spirit Sea Realm, only a handful of superb talents who reached the ninth layer could successfully cultivate the Heavenly Spirit Technique. But Ling Chen certainly wasn’t one of them! Otherwise, with the cultivation of the ninth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm and wielding the Heavenly Spirit Technique, this ninth-layer assassin would definitely be unable to block it! This meant that Ling Chen’s talent was even more terrifying! Was Ling Chen’s Divine Soul as powerful as his own, which alone was enough to shock him, and now his Spiritual Power Cultivation had reached such a horrifying extent? "Bronze Twenty-Nine, kill him!" Shen Yufeng commanded once more. In the darkness of night, assassins had no names, only code names. The level of an assassin was divided into Bronze Killer, Silver Assassin, and Golden Killer according to their strength. Bronze Twenty-Nine was the code name of this assassin. Meaning this person was ranked as a Bronze Killer, and Twenty-Nine was his code number. No matter what, such a talent must not be left to the Great Xia Dynasty. If both Spirit Power and Divine Soul are cultivated to such an extent, in the future, he might become another powerful sovereign of the Palace Mansion Realm or even a King Grade Divine Thought Master! A single Xia Jiuyou caused them, the assassins, to be in an embarrassing plight. With another King-level powerhouse, would they, the assassins, even have a chance of survival? "Yes!" Bronze Twenty-Nine immediately nodded. Although Shen Yufeng had a lower cultivation level than him, as a Divine Thought Master, his status in the dark night was far higher than his. He simply had to obey. "Star Stepping Movement!" Bronze Twenty-Nine made his move again, this time using a high-grade Mystical Spirit movement technique, appearing like a ghost in front of Ling Chen. For an assassin, speed of movement was extremely critical, and sometimes even more important than attacking. A good movement technique was vital, whether for sneak attacks or for controlling the battlefield. As Bronze Twenty-Nine moved, Ling Chen’s Divine Soul Telekinesis instantly enveloped the former, analyzing the latter’s movement to anticipate his attacks. "Dark Moon Slash!" Bronze Twenty-Nine, wielding his short sword, made a slashing attack at Ling Chen. "Heavenly Slash!" This time, Ling Chen fully unleashed his power, directly applying the Spiritual Technique True Intent to the Spiritual Weapon. "Die!" Bronze Twenty-Nine let out a cold shout. In their previous exchange, Ling Chen’s attack was no match for his own, and with this strike, he was confident that he could slash Ling Chen beneath his sword. "You’re the one who will die!" Ling Chen’s mouth curled into a smile.
