37: Chapter 37 Little Black Makes a Difference

Just as Wang Chen was about to be driven into a dead end, Mo Yufei communicated with Xiao Hei, asking him to perceive the locations of those few assassins.

Xiao Hei lowered its body, its pitch-black beast eyes narrowed, and the fine black fur all over its body stood on end.

Its unique sensory ability erupted completely, and invisible ripples silently spread out from it as the center, piercing through the turbulent spiritual energy in the forest and precisely locking onto every hidden enemy.

The reason these assassins were able to suppress Wang Chen so thoroughly was entirely due to their strange movement techniques and abilities.

Invisibility, illusions, and short-range teleportation were used in combination; their figures flickered in and out of existence, leaving afterimages everywhere, making it impossible to distinguish where their true bodies were.

The laser and technological attacks from the floating spheres controlled by Wang Chen all hit empty illusions. Even with full firepower, he could not harm the enemies in the slightest. He could only defend passively, his energy depleting rapidly, which led him step by step into an absolute disadvantage.

But under Xiao Hei's Soul Perception, all false illusions had nowhere to hide.

The assassins' true locations, the trajectory of every teleportation, the soul fluctuations while invisible, and even the ruthlessness and anxiety deep in their hearts, all turned into clear information, relayed without reservation to Mo Yufei through their Soul Contract connection.

Mo Yufei felt a massive amount of precise information flood into his mind instantly. The situation of the entire battlefield became clear at a glance, and the movements of every assassin were imprinted clearly in his consciousness.

He dared not delay. Suppressing his state of mind, he concentrated all his willpower and condensed a wisp of divine sense, more refined than ever before, reaching out toward Wang Chen who was struggling in the field, attempting to use divine sense transmission to connect with him.

Once, twice... Finally, on the third attempt, that wisp of divine sense steadily latched onto Wang Chen's sea of consciousness!

"Wang Chen, listen! It's me!"

A clear transmission suddenly rang out in Wang Chen's mind, carrying an unquestionable certainty.

Wang Chen, who was struggling to hold on, shuddered, and the lasers from his floating spheres paused for an instant. Extreme astonishment and disbelief surged in his eyes.

Through the floating eye beside him, he snuck a glance at Mo Yufei in the shadows, his heart filled with shock.

He had clearly told Mo Yufei to retreat immediately and entrusted him to go out and seek help, yet this person had not only failed to leave the secret realm but had actually turned back and followed him into this dangerous place!

Amidst his surprise, Wang Chen's movements slowed by a fraction, and he was nearly struck by an assassin's shadow blade. Thanks to the defensive floating sphere blocking it in time, he narrowly avoided a fatal blow.

Suppressing the astonishment surging in his heart, Wang Chen forced himself to steady his mind, controlling the two remaining floating spheres to raise a defensive shield, barely blocking the shadow blade slashing toward him.

Wang Chen's breathing was rapid, yet he still focused his mind to listen to the transmission in his sea of consciousness. He knew that Mo Yufei returning at this moment must mean he had a way to break the deadlock.

Otherwise, as a stranger, there was nothing about him worth risking his life to save.

"Don't get distracted, do as I say!"

Mo Yufei's voice rang out again, extraordinarily calm. Xiao Hei's continuous stream of Soul Perception information gave him a thorough grasp of the battlefield.

"Three meters to the rear left, the true body is invisible!"

Almost the instant the transmission ended, Wang Chen did not hesitate at all. He rapidly controlled the floating eye, instantly shifting the direction of the two solid blue lasers and firing precisely toward the rear left!

The assassin, who had been hidden in the void with no aura fluctuations, was caught off guard. His invisibility technique was directly broken, and his figure suddenly revealed itself. His pupils were filled with terror, never having expected to be precisely locked onto!

"Pfft!"

The laser pierced his shoulder, bringing out a spray of blood. The assassin let out a miserable shriek and staggered backward, his invisibility technique completely failing.

This scene caused an uproar among the remaining assassins, their faces filled with disbelief.

Their reliance for victory—the invisibility and illusion techniques—had always been invincible and had never been broken so easily. For a moment, they were thrown into disarray.

"Five zhang to the right, teleportation trajectory, the landing point in the next second!"

"Directly in front, two illusions, the true body is in the middle!"

"Behind you, someone is teleporting for a sneak attack!"

Mo Yufei's transmissions did not stop for a moment. Xiao Hei's Soul Perception foresaw every movement and every use of secret techniques by the assassins. Extremely precise positional information was continuously transmitted into Wang Chen's sea of consciousness.

A bright light surged in Wang Chen's eyes, and he completely escaped the awkward situation of being passively beaten. Under his control, the floating spheres were like an extension of his arms. The laser beams were no longer fired blindly; every strike was aimed directly at the enemy's true body, with every move being lethal.

The assassins, who had previously been elusive, were now completely exposed to view. Teleportation, invisibility, and illusions all became useless. Every attack was predicted in advance, and one after another, they were hit by lasers, collapsing to the ground with screams.

Wang Chen watched the reversed battle situation before him, glancing out of the corner of his eye at Mo Yufei in the tree shadows. The astonishment in his heart deepened, and at the same time, a strong sense of surprise surged up.

He could never have imagined that this seemingly ordinary youth would possess such heaven-defying sensory means, directly breaking the advantage of the Seven Kill assassins!

Seeing this, the assassin leader trembled with rage and roared sharply: "Impossible! How can you see through our secret techniques?! Attack! All of you, go together, end this quickly!"

The remaining assassins rushed forward together, but even with their full efforts, under Xiao Hei's Soul Perception and Mo Yufei's precise guidance, all their movements had nowhere to hide. Wang Chen's counterattacks became increasingly fierce, and the battle situation was completely reversed!

Having lost personnel one after another, and with the invisibility and teleportation abilities they relied on for victory completely countered, the ghost-masked leader of the Blood Killing Hall felt a strong sense of crisis rising in his heart.

Watching his side retreat steadily under Wang Chen's precise counterattacks, with casualties constantly mounting, he knew that continuing to fight would only lead to them being completely wiped out. He could no longer care about surrounding and killing Wang Chen.

A violent aura surged around him, and he let out a sharp and ferocious low shout that came through his ghost mask, hoarse and grating: "The situation is bad, retreat! Retreat separately, rendezvous at Secret Realm Stronghold Number Three!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and threw several pitch-black smoke bombs. The black mist exploded instantly, carrying pungent poisonous gas that spread out, obscuring the entire battlefield.

The two remaining Blood Killing assassins dared not delay at all. Completely ignoring their injured companions, they immediately turned around and retreated violently in two completely different directions, following the pre-arranged routes. Their figures flashed rapidly under the cover of the poisonous mist, wanting to use the terrain and their remaining teleportation techniques to completely shake off the pursuit.

They knew very well that now that the opponent had a means of precise perception, they no longer had any advantage. Only by fleeing separately could they have a glimmer of hope; if they retreated together, they would only be intercepted and wiped out.

The leader stayed behind to cover their retreat, throwing out several shadow attacks to block Wang Chen's pursuit, and then turned and sped off in a third direction, disappearing into the depths of the dense forest in a few leaps.

Wang Chen was blocked for a moment, and by the time he wanted to pursue them, the three had already scattered and fled, leaving no trace.
