Chapter 14284: Almost Killed
Chapter 14284: Almost Killed
A wave of excruciating pain swept over him instantly. Ling Xiao felt as if an invisible giant mountain was crushing his back. The pain spread rapidly throughout his body along his nerves, causing him to groan involuntarily. His heart trembled with horror!
This speed is beyond imagination!
It happened so fast that his naked eye couldn't catch any trace of it, and his mind couldn't keep up with the sudden change.
Moreover, without any warning, it was as if the attack appeared out of thin air from another dimension and descended directly upon him.
The opponent's concealment technique was simply terrifying, like a ghost hidden in the deepest part of the darkness, silent and without a trace.
The timing, angle, and speed of the strikes were ruthless and cunning to the extreme!
The timing was perfect; the attack was launched the instant he was relaxed and unprepared.
The angle was even more cunning and bizarre, directly aiming at his back, a fatal wound.
Its speed was as fast as lightning, leaving no time for anyone to make any effective reaction.
If Lei Ling hadn't issued a timely warning, the urgent voice would have resounded in his heart like thunder, pulling him back from the brink of danger.
If he hadn't possessed an extraordinary sensitivity to soul fluctuations, allowing him to detect that faint but present danger, this attack would have been fatal, instantly killing him!
Without the slightest hesitation, the moment the dagger pierced through his body, Ling Xiao endured the excruciating pain, which felt like countless steel needles piercing his body at the same time, almost causing him to faint.
But with his indomitable will, he persevered.
Using the momentum of his stillness, he suddenly exerted force in his waist, the power like a volcanic eruption, instantly transmitted to his arm.
He swung his sword backhand and slashed fiercely towards the enemy's location.
This sword strike embodied all his strength and anger, carrying an indomitable momentum.
scoff!
The sharp sword light, like an angry dragon, tore through space, emitting a piercing howl.
Wherever the sword light passed, a void rift a hundred feet long was cleaved in the air, the rift resembling a giant mouth, exuding a terrifying aura.
A violent force surged wildly within, as if it wanted to devour everything around it.
However, he struck empty air!
Before the crack, there was nothing, as if the attack had been an illusion.
The attacker vanished completely as if he had never existed, leaving not a trace, like a drop of water merging into the ocean, disappearing without a trace.
Ling Xiao's pupils suddenly contracted, turning into the most dangerous needle-like shapes, his eyes revealing a hint of solemnity and vigilance.
He tightly covered the wound that ran from front to back with his left hand, and blood kept seeping out from between his fingers, staining his clothes red.
But he couldn't care less about that. The healing energy of the Azure Dragon Soul was rapidly circulating, and that healing energy was like warm sunlight shining on the wound.
The muscle fibers at the wound site were visibly wriggling and healing, as if time were flowing backward, and the horrific wound was gradually recovering.
The eerie black dagger had vanished quietly after he got his hands on it, as if it were just an illusion. But the lingering pain and the sense of impending death were incredibly real, haunting his mind like a nightmare.
That was incredibly dangerous!
The opponent was clearly a top-tier assassin; that strike was determined to succeed, like an experienced hunter who had meticulously set a trap, waiting for his prey to take the bait.
If it weren't for his special physique, possessing powerful recovery abilities and unwavering will;
If he hadn't reacted so quickly and made the right decision at the critical moment, he would have perished by now and become a cold corpse in this vast void!
"Humph."
Lei Ling's deep, solemn voice resounded in Ling Xiao's heart like muffled thunder, "The 'Silent Escape Technique' of the Shadow Killing Pavilion of the Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary..."
"This is one of the Shadow Assassin Pavilion's signature techniques. It seems their core assassins have been deployed."
"This concealment technique is extremely strange. It can perfectly integrate one's aura, energy fluctuations, and even presence into the void. Even I have to expend some effort and concentrate all my perception to barely catch a trace of it."
You must be extremely careful!
"Now that this core assassin has made his move, he will not give up easily. Subsequent attacks will only be more dangerous and ruthless."
Ling Xiao didn't say anything, but just nodded silently, a resolute look flashing in his eyes.
His soul power was released instantly like a surging tide, spreading in all directions like an invisible net, attempting to capture the enemy's elusive location, as if it were a ghost.
His soul power carefully swept across every inch of space, not missing any subtle fluctuations, even the most inconspicuous energy ripples, which could conceal the enemy's traces.
While tracking the enemy's location, he still did not stop the void warship.
The void warship continued to speed through the vast void, its engines emitting a deep and steady roar, like a tireless warrior resolutely moving towards its destination.
Ling Xiao knew that in this perilous void, stopping the warship would give the enemy more opportunities to attack. Only by keeping moving could he increase the difficulty of the enemy's attack and create more space for his own survival.
About fifteen minutes later, just as he was passing through an extremely dense "dust" that greatly hindered his divine sense, this "dust" was like a huge gray ocean, enveloping everything around him, blurring his vision, and greatly interfering with his divine sense.
A strong sense of unease suddenly welled up in Ling Xiao's heart. It was a kind of vigilance from the depths of his soul, as if an invisible pair of eyes were watching him closely in the darkness.
Just then, without warning, he suddenly stopped again!
The void warship, like a wild horse suddenly pulled back on its reins, emitted a sharp scraping sound and left a long trail in the void.
Om-!
The slowly flowing mist around them trembled violently, as if a huge stone had been thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating a clear ripple.
The ripples spread rapidly in all directions, like waves on water.
When the ripples spread to a certain point on the right front, they paused slightly, creating a very subtle distortion, like a small whirlpool suddenly appearing on the surface of calm water.
It's now!
A fierce glint flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes, his gaze as cold and sharp as lightning in the night.
Without hesitation, he drew his Bloodthirsty Blade. The moment the blade was drawn, a crimson light shot into the sky, as if to dye the dark void red.
He slashed diagonally down at the twisted spot with all his might. This slash was imbued with all his strength and anger, and its power was as overwhelming as Mount Tai pressing down.
The flashing blades were like a prison, enveloping everything around them, as if to completely devour the enemy hidden in the darkness.
