164: Chapter 194 Assassination
After Zhao Kailai repelled Narayan, he did not stop; wielding the Overlord Saber, he charged into the enemy ranks like a war god possessed.
Wherever the Overlord Saber passed, the wind howled, and even the dark clouds in the sky were sliced apart. Saber Qi surged horizontally and vertically, and some mountain peaks were directly crushed to pieces.
Li Yifeng's swordplay became increasingly sharp, with layers of sword shadows enveloping Mahoti.
For a moment, Sword Qi filled all directions, layer upon layer; some Sword Qi fell to the ground, creating deep chasms!
The battle between Wang Meng and Vishnu also reached a fever pitch. Wang Meng's eyes widened, and with a roar, he swung both hammers at Vishnu.
Vishnu's fists struck out continuously, shattering pieces of the Void Realm.
Lin Yu's flute music became more hurried; Surya's mind was disturbed by the sound, and the offensive of his flaming whip became disorganized.
From a distance, Jiang Ling watched with a racing heart, completely mesmerized!
A battle at the Martial Saint level was truly spectacular; every strike was earth-shattering and could destroy heaven and earth!
Having experienced the Immortal's preaching, Jiang Ling had a deeper understanding of the path of the Martial Dao.
Seeing these Martial Saints fight now, he could better understand the meaning contained in every move and style!
This was of immense benefit to his growth!
This great battle lasted for a full ten-plus hours.
After more than ten hours, the four Martial Saints from Great Xia clearly held the advantage, while the Martial Saints from White Elephant Country found it increasingly difficult to hold on!
Suddenly, Zhao Kailai's Overlord Saber unleashed a fierce blade light that sliced through a section of the Void Realm. Narayan couldn't withstand it and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The other three Martial Saints from White Elephant Country were also more or less injured; if they continued fighting, they might even end up perishing here!
Out of necessity, the four White Elephant Country Martial Saints cast resentful glances before turning to leave.
This great battle ended in a major victory for the Great Xia Nation.
The Great Xia soldiers watching from afar immediately let out a sky-shaking roar, celebrating this massive victory.
With this victory, the entire Kunlun Void Secret Realm now belonged to the Great Xia Nation.
Jiang Ling looked at the place where the eight Martial Saints had fought and found that the original terrain had become unrecognizable.
Mountain peaks were sliced off, and huge lakes or deep trenches appeared in the ground.
The terrain for hundreds of miles around had become jagged and terrifying.
Such was the power of a Martial Saint!
With Great Xia's victory, there was no longer a rush to develop the Kunlun Void Secret Realm.
Jiang Ling and the others were all summoned back, and the official authorities would slowly mine the Kunlun Void Secret Realm.
The Heaven And Earth Treasures within would become resources for the Great Xia Nation, used to enhance the nation's overall strength.
Jiang Ling also gained immense rewards from the Kunlun Void Secret Realm this time!
He and Medusa had consumed so many Heaven And Earth Treasures, and with a divine object like the blood bodhi, their strength had improved tremendously.
Furthermore, the Immortal's preaching at the summit of Kunlun had completely transformed Jiang Ling, bringing his understanding of the Martial Dao to another level!
The next task Jiang Ling and the others received was to rest!
During this period, they had been competing for resources in the Kunlun Void and were quite exhausted.
They would recuperate for a while before doing anything else!
Jiang Ling took this time to relax his mind and body!
Life couldn't just be about constant Cultivation!
Jiang Ling didn't forget to call Lu Shengnan to nurture their relationship.
He was a man with a girlfriend now!
Just after finishing his conversation with Lu Shengnan, Jiang Ling received a call from Huo Lingyun.
"When are you coming out for a spar?"
Huo Lingyun asked.
"I just finished a mission and am resting here!"
"I'll look for you when I have time after I get back!"
Jiang Ling replied casually.
Jiang Ling knew in his heart that his current strength far exceeded Huo Lingyun's.
If they really sparred, it would just be him providing one-sided guidance; Huo Lingyun was no longer qualified to spar with him.
But he still had to be polite.
"Alright!"
"Then I'll be waiting for you!"
Huo Lingyun said before hanging up.
At that moment, Jiang Ling suddenly felt a surge of killing intent lock onto him.
"Hmm?"
Jiang Ling couldn't help but be startled; someone wanted to kill him?
He deliberately walked towards the edge of the military camp to give the other party an opportunity.
After walking about a dozen miles away from the army, Jiang Ling stopped.
"Who is it? Come out."
"Your alertness is quite strong."
A figure appeared behind Jiang Ling!
It was an assassin completely wrapped in black night-traveling clothes.
Masked, only two eyes like those of a venomous snake were visible.
"A Sixth-Tier Assassin?"
Jiang Ling turned around and sized up the opponent.
"Who sent you?"
Jiang Ling asked.
"You don't need to know that."
The assassin chuckled, "In your next life, remember to be more well-behaved."
After saying that, the assassin suddenly disappeared from the spot and appeared behind Jiang Ling in the next instant, thrusting a dagger fiercely toward him.
Boom!
Jiang Ling struck with a bolt of Divine Thunder, and the assassin was directly sent flying hundreds of meters away.
"You?"
"How is that possible?"
The assassin lay on the ground, feeling his injuries, his eyes wide with shock.
The assassin knew Jiang Ling's Supernatural Ability was the World-Ending Divine Thunder and knew Jiang Ling was very strong.
But Jiang Ling was only a Fourth-Rank Martial Artist, while he was already a Sixth-Rank Martial Artist.
The gap between the fourth and sixth ranks was like night and day.
For him, a Sixth-Tier Assassin, to assassinate a fourth-rank kid like Jiang Ling should have been an easy task.
Yet he was sent flying by a single bolt of Jiang Ling's Divine Thunder and was even seriously injured?
This was truly unbelievable.
"Speak, who sent you?"
Jiang Ling instantly arrived in front of the Sixth-Tier Assassin and asked indifferently.
"What kind of monster are you?"
The Sixth-Tier Assassin stared at Jiang Ling.
"It seems you don't quite understand my words!"
Jiang Ling shook his head and struck with another bolt of Divine Thunder.
Crack!
The Sixth-Tier Assassin was knocked to the ground again.
Originally, the Sixth-Tier Assassin had wanted to escape just now, but he was still easily handled by Jiang Ling.
Sixth-Tier Assassins have very strong stealth abilities and can assassinate others or retreat silently.
But Jiang Ling had the Li Huo Golden Pupils.
The Li Huo Golden Pupils allowed him to see through all illusions; the Sixth-Tier Assassin's stealth was completely exposed before Jiang Ling.
"You..."
The Sixth-Tier Assassin's eyes were full of disbelief.
Was Jiang Ling really fourth-rank?
Why could he see through his invisibility so easily?
Was the power of the World-Ending Divine Thunder actually this great?
"I don't have much patience,"
Jiang Ling said calmly.
"If you don't want to experience more pain, then honestly tell me, who sent you?"
"You are indeed a monster."
The assassin's eyes were cold.
"It seems they all underestimated you."
"But in the end, you still have to die."
At that moment, a golden light suddenly erupted from the assassin's body, forming a shield that enveloped him.
In the next instant, the assassin vanished.
