Chapter 3065: The Death of the Assassin from the Blood Skull Gang

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the desolate canyon, fire and wind raged. It looked as though the end of the world had arrived.

“I got it!” Duan Ling Tian exclaimed as he held the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword while being engulfed in flames. Then, a sword ray shot out, cutting the silk thread in the tornado. The sword ray continued on its trajectory, unimpeded by the wind blades in the tornado, as it made its way toward the glabella of the assassin who was standing in the eyes of the tornado.

‘He’s rather strong to be able to draw so close to me…’ The assassin from the Blood Skull Gang was rather taken aback when he saw Duan Ling Tian advancing despite his torn purple robes and his body being riddled with wounds from the wind blades in the tornado.

‘Well, it doesn’t matter. It’s coming to end now.’ The assassin’s mouth curved into a cruel smile. Then, he opened his arms before he brought them together again. At the same time, the thread in his hand shot toward Duan Ling Tian with the might of a troop of an army. As soon as the thread left his hand, the wind blades followed its lead and shot toward Duan Ling Tian as well.

The assassin was expressionless when he made his killing blow. Clearly, he was confident. To him, Duan Ling Tian was already a dead man.

At the same moment the assassin attacked, the Profound Divine Metal’s voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. “Boy, now!”

“Die!” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed coldly as soon as he heard the Profound Divine Metal’s words. At the same time, his sword burst with dazzling seven-color lights.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword that looked ordinary earlier fully showed its brilliance at this moment. Seven sword rays of different colors shot out and swirled around the sword. Each different color sword rays had its own distinct auras. After a brief moment, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword seemed to be boosted when the sword rays shone even more brilliantly than before. At this moment, the sword looked incredibly formidable and domineering as a terrifying aura filled the air.

“This…” The Blood Skull Gang’s assassin who had just made his killing move could tell how extraordinary the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword was at this moment. If he could not tell how extraordinary it was at this moment, he would have lived all his years in vain.

In the next moment, a golden thread appeared in the midst of the seven color lights near the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword. Upon closer inspection, one would see it was actually a golden energy that seemed to flow like liquid gold.

The silk thread left the hands of the Blood Skull Gang’s assassin and shot toward Duan Ling Tian with the numerous wind blades in tow. It seemed as though they were capable of ripping Duan Ling Tian into a million pieces.

Faced with the assassin’s attack, Duan Ling Tian seemed fearless as he held onto his sword that had sword rays swirling around it.

Whoosh!

The sword seemed so sharp that it was as though it could slice through air itself. As it forged on, it repelled the assassin’s golden silk thread and wind blades.

Naturally, it was inevitable that some of the wind blades had landed on Duan Ling Tian. He could not have defended against every single one of them even with the protection from the Chaos Divine Earth and the purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon nurtured by a Celestial Lord. In just a blink of an eye, Duan Ling Tian’s purple robe was torn beyond recognition and more wounds appeared on his body that was already riddled with injuries.

“An Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon!” The Blood Skull Gang’s assassin cried out when he finally had a good look at the sword in Duan Ling Tian’s hand.

At this moment, the Seven Orifices Sword that contained the Profound Divine Metal’s strength was already close to the assassin’s head. Due to Duan Ling Tian’s speed and close proximity, he had no time to react or dodge.

When the Profound Divine Metal lent his strength to the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, Duan Ling Tian felt as though the sword was as heavy as lead.

In just a brief moment, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword in Duan Ling Tian’s hand cleanly pierce through the assassin’s glabella like a hot knife passing through butter. Blood dripped out from the wound immediately.

The power from the Profound Divine Metal surged into the assassin’s sea of consciousness and completely destroyed his soul!

Just like that, the assassin died with unwillingness and resentment. Before his death, he had sent all the remaining energy in his body into his King Grade Celestial Weapon that had been nurtured by a Celestial Lord. However, his opponent easily pierced through his defenses. It was as though the seven-color sword was merely piercing a paper-thin wall instead of a King Grade Celestial Weapon. Before his death, there was only one thought in his mind: how did Duan Ling Tian manage to cast the law of metal’s Piercing Profundity when Duan Ling Tian clearly comprehended the law of fire?

The assassin was, naturally, unaware that it was all the Profound Divine Metal’s doing. When it sent its energy into the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, the effect was similar to the law of metal’s Piercing Profundity.

The law of wind had the Slicing Profundity that was somewhat similar to the law of metal’s Piercing Profundity.

Back when the assassin had studied the law of metal’s Slicing Profundity, he had seen a Floating Image Pearl of a powerhouse using the law of metal’s Piercing Profundity. Therefore, he was aware of the similarities between the law of wind’s Slicing Profundity and the law of metal’s Piercing Profundity.

It was a surprise that Duan Ling Tian managed to comprehend the law of fire and the law of metal, but it was not completely out of the realm of possibility. However, how did Duan Ling Tian cast both the law of metal and the law of fire at the same time? This was impossible! How could the assassin not be shocked and confused before his death? This went against his entire understanding of the laws.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After the assassin’s death, the tornado died down quickly and dispersed into a violent wind that blew in all directions.

Rumble!

The impact of the fight made the entire canyon quake.

While the energy dispersed, Duan Ling Tian was panting heavily. He struggled to put his sword away as he felt like collapsing. The pain crashed back into him like a flood now that the adrenaline had slowly died down. He felt as though he was going to pass out at any moment. He swayed on his feet as he hastily retrieved a Duke Grade medicinal pill from his Spatial Ring to relieve the pain.

When the pain was manageable, Duan Ling Tian prepared to collect his rewards for killing the assassin from the Blood Skull Gang.

At the same time, the Chaos Divine Earth’s childish voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. “Boy, the Chaos Divine Flame and the Profound Divine Metal have fallen into a deep slumber because of this… I’ll be falling into a deep slumber soon as well…”

In the past, the Chaos Divine Earth had always sounded strong and energetic when it spoke. However, at this moment, his voice sounded weak and soft.

“Focus on your cultivation and improve your strength as fast as you can… Although the Chaos Divine Flame is hibernating, you can still use him to refine celestial pills. When you use the Chaos Divine Flame, try to gain a better understanding of its characteristics and observe it. It’ll help with your comprehension of the law of fire. With that, you won’t be fumbling in the dark cluelessly. Certainly, it would be ideal if you have the help of the Chaos Divine Flame, but you’ll have to wait until he’s awake for that…” The Chaos Divine Earth’s voice got softer and softer before it finally trailed off into silence.

‘I guess I’m on my own for now,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

“Duan Ling Tian!” An anxious voice rang from the periphery of the valley just when Duan Ling Tian was about to collect his bounty from killing the assassin from the Blood Skull Gang.

“Sect leader?” Duan Ling Tian was taken aback by this. When he regained his senses and finally identified the owner of the voice, he saw a lean middle-aged man dressed in a long robe.

The middle-aged man was none other than Sun Liang Peng, the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect.

“Duan Ling Tian, you’re badly injured…” Sun Liang Peng’s expression changed slightly when he saw the injuries Duan Ling Tian sustained. Then, he asked, “Where’s the Blood Skull Gang’s assassin?”

“There.” Duan Ling Tian looked at the place where the Blood Skull Gang’s assassin had landed on and turned into a pulpy mess of flesh and blood. At the same time, he bit back his pain and flew toward the corpse that was nothing more than mush now.

Sun Liang Peng was stunned speechless for a moment when he saw the sight. ‘That… That’s the Blood Skull Gang’s assassin? D-did Duan Ling Tian kill him?’

When Sun Liang Peng regained his senses, Duan Ling Tian had already put the assassin’s Spatial Ring and defensive Celestial Weapons away.

‘I’ve never seen a weapon like this… Although this is just a King Grade Celestial Weapon, it could be extremely terrifying if wielded by someone who has comprehended the law of metal and the law of wind,’ Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself as he looked at the silk thread he had gained from killing the assassin. Earlier, he had seen how deadly the silk thread was. It was as though it could cut the void open.

Whoosh!

At this moment, Sun Liang Peng finally arrived next to Duan Ling Tian. He looked at Duan Ling Tian and curiously asked, “Duan Ling Tian, what’s the cultivation base of the assassin?”

“He was a Six Combos Celestial King,” Duan Ling Tian replied tonelessly.
