"What is going on?" The black cloth man felt his physique getting weaker and weaker with every breathes passes. He didn't even hesitate to swallow a pill from his space ring. Even though Fei saw it, he couldn't stop the black cloth man from swallowing the pill.
"Shadow Enhanced- Triple Power" Black cloth man groaned and his body burst majestic aura around him. Due to overflowing power in his body, he successfully made Fei retreat.
"Cough" But this wasn't a normal retreat, due to the backlash of devouring Fei coughed blood from his mouth. His internal organs got damaged a little. This made Fei angry as well as cautious. He never thought the enemy would have such means to increase power.
Seeing Fei injured "I don't know what you were doing? But now I can't underestimate you" Black cloth man swings his sword towards Fei, a sharp red glow flew out of his sword attacking Fei.
"Sword Intent!" Fei exclaimed seeing an aura that was condensed by the sword around the black cloth man. He knows how hard it is to cultivate sword intent; he never thought he would meet someone in a fight. But Fei could only give his best on his fight. Fortunately opponent was Soul Refining sixth layer.
"Dragon Cells Full Awaken + Bronze Body"
"Steel Fist Intent + Fire Fist"
Each dragon cells were activated in each finger of his right hand. Bronze body covered his body with powerful defense, his hands condensed silver black aura around it and fire burst out of his fist.
His burning fist collides with the sword glow, air trembles, and finally canceled each other power. Fei retreats few meters but one could see blood dripping out of his hand.
The black cloth man was also shocked seeing Fei blocking his attack, fortunately it creates small but a wound in his hand. The bronze body wasn't deactivating till now but dragon cells were no longer activated due to huge pressure.
Since dragon cells could no longer be summoned in a short amount of time, he only got two choices to make. He immediately activates "Flame Egg" and "Snow Ground"
He used ice qi in his spiritual roots to influence snow and turned them into ice, now half of his dantian was covered by ice qi and half by fire qi. Fei took out his sword, while he was doing all this. His opponent didn't wait and tried to strike him.
"True Assassination Mode Activate"
Mysterious power flew out of his soul and entered his body, his leg moved and his speed was increased by several times. Due to his speed, he successfully dodged opponents but knowing the time limit of assassination mode. He didn't hesitate to counter.
"Air Dragon Steps" Fei treads on Air dragon steps, increasing the speed he appeared in front of his enemy and swings his sword. Ice and Fire qi flew out of his dantian and entered his sword. He also used the concept of ice and fire to manipulate ice and fire qi.
"Moon Splitting Flame"
Seeing Fei attack, the Black cloth man's eyes contracted but he didn't fear. He erupts sword intent around him. His sword also swings towards Fei, as he murmured "Gust of Single Sword"
His sword intent was like a gust of wind, fast and sharp cutting everything in its path. Fei sword released ice that tried to confine the wind sword but the wind sword broke out, fortunately, ice wasn't a true source of this attack instead it was the fire.
"Crack" "Crack"
"Screech"
Fire erupts and collides with a wind sword. Wind sword attack power was already decreased by ice now colliding with fire, it completely vanished. The fire was still moving towards the black cloth man trying to split him. A black cloth man used his sword and sword intent to forcefully block and nullified the fire.
"Ice Sword" Suddenly, a sword made out of ice appeared at the back of the black cloth man trying to assault him.
"Wind Wings" "Tremor Sword"
A figure which was obviously Fei appeared in front of Ice sword, using the power of tremor around his sword. Fei attacked with his entire strength from his body.
"Crack" "Bang"
The power of tremor was very high, it completely destroyed ice but it also comes with a cost. Bronze's body was deactivated since Fei had to use all of his strength but this wasn't important, because Fei felt his own body was rejecting the power of tremor or more like his body was telling him not to keep this kind of bloodline with him.
Fei was also shocked but soon calmed down, he knew his bloodlines were extremely powerful and now the power of tremor comes from half bloodline. There is no way Fei original bloodline would recognize such a weak bloodline but now Fei didn't continue to think about it.
"Junior brother Fei, why block me?" Sister Su frowns on Fei action, she just now utilized the perfect time to strike the enemy down but Fei meddles. This made Sister Su angry.
"Sister Su please doesn't interfere in my battle," Fei said with a burning desire to fight. He never felt this good before, he could see opponent was just three layers higher than him but he could fight head-on against Fei even though Fei already used Dragon cells, bronze body, and assassination mode.
Seeing Fei eyes which were full of fighting intent, she gave and walked away saying "If you lose don't come crying to me"
Fei made an embarrassed face and retreat to the opposite of black cloth man. The black cloth man was very aware of the previous attack, even if that doesn't kill him. It may injure him badly which means, he could be dead by the opponent but he never expected Fei to block that attack. He hoarsely said, "Why did you save me?"
"Don't misunderstand me, I am not trying to save you but you are a powerful opponent that I always wanted to fight so, we should continue this battle" Fei indifferently said, try to act cool.
"Since you want a fight then fight" Black cloth man also saw Fei fighting intent, he slowly removed his mask. When his face was revealed, both Fei and Sister Su was amazed. His face was extremely handsome on the par to fei. He also had blue eyes and black hair. He looked nothing like an assassin, he looked at Fei and said "My name is Nolan Grace."
"My name is Xia Long Fei." Seeing his opponent introducing himself, Fei also did the same.
"I already know your name. You were on the list of Assassinations. Someone paid ten million low-grade spiritual crystals for your head" Nolan indifferently said making Fei understand his situation.
"oh that's a lot of spiritual crystals" Fei made 'O' shaped mouth but felt nothing, he then once again said "Can you reveal the person who wants to assassinate me"
"Given customer information will kill us but if you can defeat me then I can tell you" Nolan made a straight face, he didn't show any fear when he said to reveal information.
"Oh, are you not afraid of your organization?" Fei was a little startled, not only him but Sister Su was the same. After all, no matter which assassination organization it is, if customer information is revealed then the person who revealed would be endlessly chased by the organization.
But seeing, Nolan faces they could see no fear mention the customer name.
"If I was a normal assassin, then I would have been dead if I reveal this information but I am not only a genius but also the son of Dark Palace Master. So I have no worries" Nolan explained with a proud face while mentioning his background.
Fei was astonish hearing Nolan, he never thought Nolan would be the son of Dark Place Master.
Unlike other great sect or demon sect, the dark palace is rather neutral. It only does assassination, so it is very famous. Dark palace master strength is said to be on the par of other high-level sect masters.
Thinking for sometimes, Fei took out a space ring and throw it at Nolan "This space ring has twenty million low-grade spiritual crystals. How about making a bet? I don't want to kill you and with Sister Su here, you can't kill me. Either you lose or win, this space ring will belong to you but if you lose then how about coming under my group"
"Your group" Nolan was a little shocked on receiving such an amount of spiritual crystals, even if he is the son of Dark Palace Master, this amount is very high but what makes him frown is the other party bet. He was from the Nolan family how could he work under a Long family person.
"You are a Long family person, do you think I will work for you?" Nolan threw that ring back at Fei while saying with an angry face.
"I never said to work under the Long family. I am saying to work under my legion. I've created a legion a few months ago, not powerful but at least have seven protectors to fight against any sect master. I have enough money to pay for anything. But I only recruit hard-working people don't matter if they are genius or not. There are more details in this contract. You just have to sign it and you will become our people. You'll have no restriction except betrayal" Fei slowly explained and took out a golden contract.
"So are you interested to bet?" Fei showed a mature smile looking at Nolan trying to make his bet.
