The Return Of The God Level Assassin

THE Dark Saint looked around his surrounding that was now burning into flames. His gaze was very apathetic. As if he didn’t care if this place was burnt to the ground. This kind of indifferent reaction truly disappointed Luo Yan.

This was not satisfying at all! He wanted to see at least a bit of dissatisfaction. You know, a bit of devastation from knowing that the island he owned full of his believers would soon now be swallowed by fire. But no, instead he got this underwhelming reaction. Was this NPC bugged or something?

Then, the Dark Saint returned his gaze to them. Looking first at Shen Ji Yun before resting his gaze at him.

"Is this the man you said who ’hired’ you? I must say, the two of you look pretty close considering the things you told me earlier. Although I already expected that you’re lying and that you’re scheming something, I didn’t think that your plan involved doing this to my island. Or was it the plan of the qilin next to you? No," he raised his head and looked at the black dragon flying over the sky. "Maybe it was him."

"What does it matter whether you know the truth or not?" Luo Yan scoffed before smiling sweetly. "Either way, you will still end up dying."

The Dark Saint stared at Luo Yan before that crazy smile and fanatical glint in his eyes returned. "Is this your true self? I must say that I very much prefer you this way. Breaking you would be much more... fun."

Shen Ji Yun’s brows furrowed when he heard that. "Is this how this NPC had been talking to you?"

Luo Yan could instantly hear the displeasure on the other’s voice. He turned to Shen Ji Yun and as expected, he was frowning and the word ’dislike’ was written all over his face.

He could act like a victim here and turn Shen Ji Yun’s dislike into hate. But if he did that, he was certain that the other would surely go straight for the kill, no questions asked. Luo Yan didn’t want that. Because he also wanted to fight that bastard. So, he simply said;

"Yes, annoying right? That’s why I wanted to teach him a lesson."

The hidden meaning was; ’I also wanted to beat this bastard into a pulp, so, don’t just kill him yourself, okay?’. With the level of tacit understanding between them, Shen Ji Yun quickly understood what Luo Yan wanted to say.

So, his plan to rush forward and directly slash the Dark Saint’s neck had to be put on hold. "Then, let’s do it together."

Luo Yan grinned. "My thoughts exactly."

The two of them didn’t wait for the Dark Saint to react to their conversation and just rushed forward to attack the other. Luo Yan took out his daggers while Shen Ji Yun unsheathed his sword.

They used their skills to attack from the left and right side of the Dark Saint, forming a pincer attack. The Dark Saint deftly dodge the incoming sword slash with a hint of powerful purple lightning from the left. The he flicked his hand and used that invisible force of his to throw Shen Ji Yun away. At the same time, he raised his other hand and stopped Luo Yan in mid-air before he could even do his attack.

Luo Yan had already expected this. So, before he was stopped by the Dark Saint, he dropped both his daggers into the shadow below. The other didn’t notice it because he was busy making sure that Shen Ji Yun would stay put from where he was. As evidence of the black, tentacle-like things that appeared on the ground and tied him.

Luo Yan cursed this bastard inwardly for his bad taste. Then, he took that opportunity to do a surprise attack. One of his daggers rushed upward from the shadow in a vertical manner. It was about to stab the Dark Saint’s chin. But the other seemed to have felt it because he quickly moved his head backwards, avoiding the dagger that went passed him.

He looked at Luo Yan full of interest. "You really are quite—"

The Dark Saint wasn’t able to finish what he was saying because another dagger lunged from behind and lodged itself on his shoulder. It was unexpected and took the Dark Saint by surprise. Just like what Luo Yan wanted.

He knew that the other would be able to dodge the first dagger. He would be complacent and let his guard down right after. Because he wouldn’t think that another attack would happen right after. That’s why Luo Yan immediately followed the dagger up with another dagger.

Look, wasn’t it effective?

He felt the invisible constraints holding him disappearing. He landed on the ground with no problem. His two daggers both returned to his hands. He looked at the Dark Saint.

The effect of Eternal Lotus would only last for three seconds. But that was enough. He didn’t worry that his attack would be for nothing. Because right at this moment, Shen Ji Yun suddenly appeared behind the Dark Saint.

The other raised his sword that was glowing with purple lightning and slashed it down at the Dark Saint’s back. For a good measure, Luo Yan stabbed the other on his chest.

Because the Eternal Lotus was still in effect, it wouldn’t magically extend the time that the Dark Saint was frozen. That’s not exactly how his daggers worked. If it was indeed like that, then, his daggers would simply be too OP. The Eternal Lotus core in his daggers would only take effect again once the pervious effect was gone.

Black blood flowed from the chest wound, the Dark Saint even spewed a mouthful of blood. Luo Yan scrunched up his brows in disgust.

He was planning to stab the other again once the three seconds were up. But before he could do so, the body of the Dark suddenly glowed. A powerful energy was released from the other’s body, causing him and Shen Ji Yun to be violently thrown-off.

Luo Yan regained his footing and landed safely. He raised his head and his mouth almost fell off when he saw what was happening.
