Nine Realms Sword Emperor

The two assassins in front of him may not be more troublesome than the Blood Snake Emperor, but the battle with the Blood Snake Emperor has already consumed most of Chu Fengmian's trump cards.

Especially the power of the Soaring Snake Transformation, which can at most sustain two more hits. Without its support, Chu Fengmian's power would be at an absolute disadvantage when contending with a Quasi-Emperor.

Chu Fengmian's Realm is still far from being able to rival a Quasi-Emperor. His battles against them rely on the power of the Soaring Snake Transformation.

It can be said the Soaring Snake Transformation is Chu Fengmian's capital to fight the Quasi-Emperor, yet in the battle against the Blood Snake Emperor, its power has been mostly depleted.

He originally intended to conserve some power, but it seemed Liang Sha was not planning to give Chu Fengmian such an opportunity.

This blade storm, even a Quasi-Emperor has difficulty resisting without using full strength.

"Sword Break!"

A myriad of sword shadows surged into the sky around Chu Fengmian, clashing constantly with the blade storm, causing both sword edges and blade edges to endlessly shatter and vanish.

"They're actually at a stalemate?"

Seeing the stalemate, a flicker of surprise passed through Liang Sha's eyes. This move had used his full strength, yet Chu Fengmian could actually resist it.

It seems that the rumors are true. Chu Fengmian indeed has the power to contend with a Quasi-Emperor. He had been skeptical, but now it appears to be correct.

Liang Sha's gaze fixed on Chu Fengmian, scrutinizing him, suddenly bursting into laughter.

"Ah, so that's how it is. It seems the Soaring Snake bloodline of the Fire Clan's Young Master has fallen into your hands. I didn't expect you to truly master the power of this Soaring Snake bloodline. This is indeed its power."

"However, within a short period, you shouldn't be able to use it many times. Very well, if I kill you, the Soaring Snake bloodline will be mine. No matter your illustrious background, today you must die!"

Liang Sha looked at Chu Fengmian, overwhelmingly excited.

Chu Fengmian, being merely in the Realm of Heavenly Fate, can already rival a Quasi-Emperor using the Soaring Snake bloodline. If he obtains this bloodline, using his power as a Quasi-Emperor, he could reach the strength of an Emperor.

Having thought of this, Liang Sha could no longer hold back, attacking again without hesitation, as a pitch-black silhouette enveloped him from behind.

This pitch-black silhouette was shrouded in a dark robe all over, someone Chu Fengmian recognized as the creator of the Dark Assassination Technique, the Assassin Deity, whose figure is exceedingly mysterious, with his appearance unknown to all.

As the pitch-black silhouette enveloped Liang Sha, his aura reached its ultimate peak.

"Break!"

Accompanied by his angry shout.

Boom!

The sky of sword shadows burst into fragments, and Liang Sha charged directly towards Chu Fengmian, stabbing the dagger fiercely at his chest.

Chu Fengmian hurriedly placed both Spirit Swords in front, but with just a single stab from the dagger, Chu Fengmian felt a horrifying power striking him, hurling his body away.

His internal organs trembled as he flew for dozens of miles before gradually recovering, violently spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn it, if not for the power of the Soaring Snake Transformation being depleted, I might still possess the strength to fight back. But now, only one strike remains, finding the right moment for a killing blow is crucial!"

Chu Fengmian cursed inwardly, feeling robbed by these two assassins.

If Chu Fengmian had fought with all his strength, even if unable to defeat Liang Sha, he could at least engage him in a bloody battle and force him to retreat easily, yet now he was forced into such a dire situation.

"Opportunities, weaknesses, everyone has a flaw."

Chu Fengmian contemplated internally as Liang Sha's figure closed in.

"Oh, your body is quite tough, seems unscathed?"

Liang Sha sneered coldly at Chu Fengmian.

"Seems you indeed cannot use the Soaring Snake bloodline anymore. Without its power, you are merely an ant to me. Next strike, I shall take your life!"

Liang Sha's blade edge slowly gathered strength, ready to unleash a thunderous blow.

"Wait, King of Assassins, dare you kill me, are you not afraid of those behind me?"

Chu Fengmian suddenly spoke, his gaze becoming profound.

"People from the Lei Clan and Fire Clan dare not kill me, only send your Hidden Assassination Guild. Do you not fear annihilation should you kill me?"

"Hmph, whoever you are, our Hidden Assassination Guild cares not about identities, especially when you possess the Soaring Snake bloodline. Even if the Lei and Fire Clans spare you, I, Liang Sha, will kill you!"

Liang Sha replied disdainfully, having killed many, including members from powerful forces, unmoved by any concerns.

"Begging now is too late. Since your bloodline has merged with your own, the only way to sever it is to kill you."

"Is it? Then see this!"

Chu Fengmian argued no further, suddenly channeling Spiritual Power to transform into the War Dragon's Claw, with its thousand arrays fully activated, forming into the shape of the Ancestor Heavenly Dragon.

"What is this?"

Seeing the manifestation of the War Dragon's Claw, Liang Sha's expression drastically changed.

"Dragon Clan secret technique, the supreme secret of the Dragon Clan, impossible! Are you the next Dragon Emperor of the Divine Dragon Empire? No, you're not. Then who are you? Not even a prince of the Divine Dragon Empire could practice such a technique, could you be from that place? Someone from there has re-emerged?"

In an instant, this thought crossed Liang Sha's mind.

"It can't be!"

In the moment of Liang Sha's distraction, Chu Fengmian struck, the power of the Soaring Snake infused into two Sword Edges, incorporating the power of the War Dragon's Claw—swept across viciously.

"Crack!"

The sweep from the War Dragon's Claw hit the pitch-black shadow behind Liang Sha, smashing it completely, while the two Sword Edges slashed directly at Liang Sha.

"Damn it, brat, you dare sneak attack!"

Liang Sha instantly understood the situation, both shocked and furious, gathering his strength to its peak, forming a torrent before him.

As if dividing two worlds on either side of the torrent, eternally separated, no power can cross it.

"Heavenly Dragon Transformation!"

Suddenly, Chu Fengmian withdrew his Spiritual Power, behind him appeared a vortex, into which his body stepped instantly, vanishing.

"Damn it!"

Liang Sha realized he'd been tricked, but Chu Fengmian's presence had already disappeared. Observing briefly, he turned and flew towards the Blood Snake Emperor's direction to assist Wang Sha.
