129: The top assassin broke down, crying out for his ancestors.
Only the Capybara remained calm, still munching on sunflower seeds, and even commented with great interest:
"Oh? Playing dirty?"
"All show and no substance."
In the center of the arena, Su Jue stood in the heart of the darkness, his little face showing not a trace of panic.
He even curiously reached out his little hand and grabbed at the air, but caught nothing.
"Hey," he called out in his milky voice, "Are we playing hide-and-seek?"
"..." In the darkness, that voice fell silent for a moment, seemingly choked up by Su Jue's unconventional reaction.
Immediately, a cold killing intent locked onto Su Jue!
"Since you are in such a rush to die, I will grant your wish."
Swish! A faint sound of something breaking through the air rang out from behind Su Jue!
A flash of a dark blue dagger fiercely stabbed toward Su Jue's back!
Fast! Too fast!
This strike was perfect in timing, angle, and speed!
It was enough to make any Divine Ability Realm expert meet their end on the spot!
In the audience, countless people held their breath, eyes wide, trying to see the fatal strike in the darkness.
However, just as the dagger was about to touch the animal pajamas on Su Jue's body...
"Ding!" A crisp sound like metal colliding rang out.
The [Shadow Fang], capable of piercing the armor of an interstellar warship, actually... stopped.
A chubby little finger had appeared at the tip of the dagger, blocking this fatal strike.
"Holy sh*t!!!"
From the darkness came an irrepressible exclamation of shock.
Appearing behind Su Jue was a lean man wearing black tights and a half-mask.
He was the "Ghost Shadow" Sarriel!
Second level of the Divine Ability Realm! The champion of the Ten Thousand Beast Arena Heaven-Grade tournament for three consecutive years!
At this moment, his eyes, sharp as a hawk's, were filled with disbelief.
He had actually... missed? And it was blocked by an Infant using a single finger against his full-force strike?
How is this possible!
"Too slow." Su Jue didn't even turn his head, merely saying it calmly.
"And the power is too weak. Didn't you eat breakfast?"
"You!"
Sarriel felt unprecedented humiliation!
He roared, flicked his wrist, and the dagger instantly turned into thousands of phantoms, enveloping Su Jue's entire body like a violent storm!
[Divine Ability: Thousand Blade Phantom Dance!]
Each phantom contained a sharp Qi capable of tearing through space!
However, Su Jue remained standing in place, too lazy to even move. He allowed the thousands of dagger phantoms to slash and hack at his body.
"Clang, clang, dong, dong, clang, clang! Clang, clang, ding, ding, clang, clang!" A dense series of sounds rang out. Sparks flew everywhere!
The more Sarriel fought, the more alarmed he became! He felt that what he was hacking at was not a human body at all!
But an ancient divine mountain forged from the hardest metal in the Universe!
His [Shadow Fang] couldn't even scratch the opponent's skin! Not even that silly-looking animal pajama had the slightest damage!
"What... what kind of monster is this?!" Sarriel's mentality began to collapse.
Since he started his career, he had never encountered such an outrageous opponent! Physical attacks were completely ineffective!
"Are you tickling me?" Su Jue couldn't help but urge, "Use more force."
"Ahhh!" Sarriel was completely enraged. He let out a sharp cry, his figure becoming illusory and blending into the darkness.
The next second, hundreds of identical Sarriels emerged from the darkness simultaneously, attacking Su Jue from all directions, 360 degrees without blind spots!
"Die! Just die!" This was his other trump card, [Phantom Tracking]! Combined with the [Eternal Night Domain], it was impossible to distinguish true from false, reality from illusion!
However, facing this overwhelming attack, Su Jue simply closed his eyes. Not to give up resistance, but to... feel.
[Heart Canon... Activate!] [Heart Power, expand!]
A power transcending matter and energy quietly rippled out, centered on his Divine Soul.
In an instant, the entire dark [Eternal Night Domain] became crystal clear within his "Heart" vision.
Those so-called phantoms, those energy nodes hidden in the darkness, the movement trajectories of those Laws... everything had nowhere to hide.
"Found you." Su Jue curled his lips slightly.
He suddenly opened his eyes, completely ignoring the phantoms rushing toward him. Instead, he reached out his little hand and grabbed at an empty, dark corner to his front left!
"Come here!"
"!!!" The darkness in that corner twisted! A black shadow was forcibly dragged out of the darkness by an invisible force! It was Sarriel's true body!
His face was filled with shock and bewilderment! How... how did he find me? This is impossible!
My [Phantom Tracking], even for a King Realm Expert, cannot be seen through in such a short time! How could he...
Before he could figure it out, Su Jue's little hand had already clamped onto his neck, lifting his body into the air like a chick.
As Sarriel's true body was captured, the sky full of phantoms dissipated rapidly like bubbles. The entire [Eternal Night Domain] collapsed along with it.
The arena lights turned back on. Everyone saw that unbelievable scene.
"Ghost Shadow" Sarriel, the phantom assassin who struck fear into everyone's hearts in the darkness, was now being held by the neck with one hand by that Infant, dangled in mid-air.
His legs were kicking wildly in the air, his expression twisted, his face filled with fear and despair.
Shock! Petrified! Stiff! Holy f*ck! The air was suffocatingly oppressive!
The entire arena fell into a deathly silence once again!
"You..." Su Jue looked at Sarriel in his hand, thought for a moment, and asked, "Will you also kneel down and call me Ancestor?"
Sarriel: "..." He wanted to speak, but his neck was being gripped, and he couldn't say a word. He didn't want to call out. He was an assassin with dignity!
But... he looked into Su Jue's golden eyes, which held no killing intent, no anger, only the indifference of someone looking at a toy.
His mental defenses completely collapsed. He remembered Barton, who had knelt and begged for mercy just a moment ago. So... that wasn't humiliation. That was the only way to survive.
Sarriel cried. A Divine Ability Realm expert, a top-tier assassin famous for a long time, cried in front of one hundred thousand spectators, wailing loudly!
"Wuu... waa...!" As he cried, he used all his strength to squeeze a few blurry syllables from his throat. "An... cestor..." "Mo... mmy..." "I... I want... to go home..."
"Tsk, you're such a grown man, crying like that. Can't you be as steady as me?"
"Thud." Su Jue threw him aside casually, tossing the sobbing, snot-nosed, and completely mentally broken Sarriel onto the ground like trash.
