The blossom library is place which contains all of the sects' manuals and information, moreover its where the sect's strategist and librarian Hiram resides.
It's because of him that the Eternal blossom sect is able to deal with the blood weaving sect smoothly.
In the past week or so, in the time Agastya has sect in the sect, he saw several squads and forces of the sect return from battle, but he could rarely see any injured personal.
This is all thanks to Sir Hiram and his ingenious tactics that the sect is able to achieve a clear victory every time.
A strong commander can win the battle, but a brilliant strategist can win the war. This was the saying acknowledged by most in jianghu.
Killing him instead of Gojo Ruijin would indeed be more beneficial for the Blood weaving sect.
The library Is surrounded by the sects nine main forces. That is the level of importance placed on it. But who would have imagined that the assassin would choose to pass through the Red blossom squads pavilion, the strongest force.
"Calm down Agastya" Agastya thought to himself.
"Considering the stealth skills and confidence the assassin possess he is definitely a veteran top expert. Putting my image in his eyes is definitely suicide."
"Alerting the sect would be futile. Who would believe that I was able to sense someone the sects sword cant detect. Even if the stars are in my favour, he would just retreat and try again on a different night."
As it is said in the Unholy Worlds Secrets, every unexpected variable brings an opportunity, hidden deep within the endless sea of clouds. May it be Crisis or famine the one with ability may overcome it. But the one with clear eyes would reap benefits.
So, he can't just let go of the situation.
Calculations ran wild within his head and luckily, he found a thread.
Agastya channeled all of his internal energy into his arm and with extreme focus tried to make a dagger out of pure energy.
Even though he had break through to pseudo void zone. This was beyond his abilities to use external arts of this level. He was pushing himself and only made it possible because he was not in battle and was able to concentrate with time at hand.
Agastya would call his state pseudo void zone because even though he has qualifications he lacked combat. He is solely focused on the wisdom path. The path of a scholar.
The dagger made was out of shape and barely pass as one. Still this was enough.
With all his stamina and concentration, Agastya threw the dagger in the direction of the assassin as he could sense him clearly.
Half was through the assassin detected the incoming attack and was stunned for a moment.
"What's happening, was someone able to detect my presence." The assassin wondered.
His pride was hurt that his stealth has been seen through by someone. But nonetheless he remained calm. Considering the lack of movement and surroundings, it was only an individual that had noticed him and if he could deal with him calmly before any more people notice, he could still continue with his mission.
The attack moving toward him was slow and feeble, it was losing energy even as it is inching near. This would be nothing to deal with.
Standing on top of the library the assassin moved both of his arms in circular motion creating a qi barrier Infront of him. The barrier had several semi-circular layers as to suppress the attack without any noise.
He couldn't just avoid it as the incoming attack would cause an explosion the sound would alert martial artists of the sect.
But to his surprise before reaching him it took a detour in the shape of a parabola and moved towards the red blossom squad pavilion. More precisely it was aiming at the squad leader Gojo Ruijin.
"Curses" the assassin murmured as he realized the true intention of the attack.
Gojo Ruijin woke up from the impact and directed his gaze directly towards the assassin. This was because the attacks trajectory made it seem like it came from the assassin.
Moreover, the shape of the qi was in the form of a dagger.
As the gaze of the strongest sword in the sect locked at him, it was futile to turn his back and make an escape. Even in front of danger, he could not help but admire the person who made it this way.
Agastya was experiencing an extreme level of fatigue as the feat he just pulled of required an extreme amount of concentration and frankly speaking the blessing of the goddess of luck.
As he could only sense the assassin thanks to his chants rador but he could only guess where the squad leader Gojo Ruijin was resting.
"With this shabby skills of yours, I can't believe you came for my throat" Said Ruijin with the deformed dagger in his hands.
The assassin was embarrassed and wanted to say that the dagger was not made by himself. But he soon composed himself as that was not the priority right now.
He must focus on getting away before others wake up and form a net to catch him.
Gojo Ruijin directly pounced on the assassin. The hundreds of meters of gap between them that too in mid-air was closed instantly.
The assassin somehow managed to block the first palm attack directed toward him with the enhanced edge of his dagger but his insides shook dealing serious damage.
"If he had grabbed his sword while coming for me, I would be dead by now. I can't believe this is the fist arts of a swordsmen" the assassin thought to himself.
Assassins are not good at direct combat. If he gives his opponent a chance to unleash another attack. He would suffer badly.
But not all hope is abandoned.
Gojo Ruijin who was about to deal his second attack stopped moving as he felt something strange happening around him.
With strange movements of his hands and qi on the assassin's part an array formation has been activated 'The zero-sense array'.
The array used by assassins to isolate his target from the surroundings and also increase the abilities of the assassins by many folds.
"Interesting" Ruijin said out.
