The shadow was carefully moving towards his target in slow motion, even though he can't be noticed by anyone. He still has to be careful or else, it will be big trouble when he is caught.
The shadow was moving like darkness, shifting and moving without removing his gaze that was focused on Lu Shang who was still munching on the food and wines on the large table. It moved with feline grace, its step silent as if he was moving on air.
Soon, the figure arrived beside Lu Shang. A strand of invisible energies started to seep out of the body of the dark figure.
Lu Shang, who was savoring the food there, felt drowsy all of a sudden. Lu Shang couldn't help but be confused and a worried expression appeared on his face. 'What's happening to me? Why am I suddenly feeling sleepy?' The thought started to run through his head but he couldn't find any answer relating to his questions with confusion all over him.
Lu Shang resisted the urge to fall asleep, he could feel that strange energy was trying to invade his body but he didn't know how to resist this energy from intruding into him.
The dark figure that was before Lu Shang, was shocked when he found out Lu Shang was able to resist the energies that were seeping out of his body. He had assassinated a lot of people and this was his first time seeing someone who was able to resist the energy.
Within Lu Shang's body, his martial core was spinning violently, supplying his body with the energy to resist the strange energy.
Despite this strange phenomenon within the body of Lu Shang, the dark figure wasn't aware of what was happening within Lu Shang's body even when his eyes were focused on his prey's body, wanting to see through him but couldn't, which made the figure to be more stunned.
Lu Shang raised his head, he gazed around him but he couldn't find anything suspicious. He had this feeling that something wasn't right.
'My intent can't be wrong, why do I feel that someone is around me? And what's up with the strange energy trying to seep into my body?' Lu Shang's sensory ability was powerful, so he can't be wrong with his judgment.
The current Lu Shang naturally was still weak and had no way to discover the presence of the cold bloody dark figure that was close to him, waiting for the right time to strike.
Abruptly, Lu Shang felt his body go cold. A sudden sense of danger arose in his heart and was extremely strong.
Feeling the danger signal in his heart, Instantly Lu Shang tried to quickly get out of that place but he experienced the unexpected…..
He discovered that he was stuck in the position where he is and couldn't move an inch away from there. For some reason, his heart pounded with uneasiness.
Seeing that the worst was happening, he tried to shout out for help but how can his enemy be underestimated? His voice was also blocked out and nobody was paying attention to him even his grandfather and great-grandfather were discussing, it seemed like the dark shadow had picked the right timing to act.
"Who are you?" Lu Shang demanded, gritting his teeth as he felt an intense pressure pressing down on his body. There was no response, but the sense of danger became even stronger, and Lu Shang's frown deepened.
Suddenly, a surge of immense pressure and killing intent erupted from the dark figure and blasted toward Lu Shang, sending cold energy running down his body to destroy his inner organs. As the energy crashed into his body.
"Am your death bringer. Your life is mine to take," A cold and emotionless voice ranged out near Lu Shang's ear. The voice is as cold as a winter's night.
As the figure came into view, Lu Shang's mind raced. He tried to move, but his body wouldn't respond. The pressure around him was so intense, it felt like he was trapped in a cage of iron. He struggled to take a breath, the air around him became thick and heavy. It was as if the very life was being squeezed out of him.
The figure was clad in a black robe that covered him from head to toe. It was impossible to see the face, as the robe's hood shrouded their features in shadow. But even without being able to see his face, Lu Shang could feel the killing intent radiating from the figure. It was like a dark cloud, heavy and suffocating.
'I just only need a few seconds to claim this cripple life..' the dark figure thought in his heart.
Lu Shang felt panic rise within him. He couldn't move, he couldn't speak, he couldn't even scream for help. All he could do was watch as the figure prepared to strike.
The figure stuck out with his hand cloaked by dark energy.
Lu Shang was frozen in place, his heart pounding and his breath coming in shallow gasps. His eyes were fixed on the figure before him. A surge of dread and terror washed over him as he realized he was powerless to defend himself. The figure's hand, shrouded in dark energy, moved towards him, and time seemed to slow to a crawl.
As the figure's hand got closer, Lu Shang could feel a chill run down his spine. The air around him grew cold, and he could almost feel the darkness closing in on him.
The figure's hand blasted into Lu Shang, sending him flying backward.
Thud!
Lu Shang heavily landed on the floor, causing him to relentlessly vomit blood.
The dark energy rushed into Lu Shang's body, making his face pale in fright.
The crowd turned towards the sound of Lu Shang's impact, their eyes widening in shock as they saw him lying on the floor, blood pooling around him. They were shocked to find out that someone had the gut to assassinate Lu Shang within the ground of the Lu Clan.
Many tried to see through the figure but find out that they couldn't.
Lu Shang tried to speak, but his words were slurred and unintelligible. The only thing that could be heard was a single word: "Help..."
The dark figure stepped forwards as his killing intent rose to the limits, furiously sending out terrifying palm strikes in the direction of Lu Shang.
The figure wasn't expecting that he would be discovered so soon causing him to be stunned for a moment. But that was all, a mere moment. He had to kill Lu Shang in the shortest time possible or he would lose his chance.
"INSOLENT!" Lu Mang's figure flickered out of sight, dashing towards Lu Shang with startling speed. Lu Shang's life was in danger, and Lu Mang wasn't willing to see anything happens to Lu Shang.
