Chapter 956: Chapter 956: Divine Fire Devours, Black Crystal Sands
"Boom!"
In an instant, the aftershocks of Immortal Essence scattered in all directions.
Zhu Fei’s Great Five Elements Sword Energy gradually collapsed and disappeared under the impact of the black light ring.
Meanwhile, the black light ring was forced to return in the direction it came from due to the residual intense cutting and spinning force of the Great Five Elements Sword Energy.
"Who on earth are you?"
Zhu Fei’s gaze was fixed on the direction where the black light ring had just appeared, a hint of seriousness gradually rising in his eyes.
From the brief exchange earlier, it seemed the opponent’s strength was almost equal to his own.
Moreover, what made Zhu Fei slightly apprehensive was that the opponent had been tailing him all along, yet even with all his efforts, he couldn’t truly detect their presence.
This indicated that among the opponent’s many techniques, there must be an exceedingly profound and secretive Cultivation Technique.
Otherwise, with Zhu Fei’s current Divine Sense, it would have been impossible not to detect the opponent’s true whereabouts.
"Ha ha, it truly is unexpected. You’re merely at the Heavenly Immortal cultivation level, yet you can withstand a strike from my Peak of Profound Immortal, and from your earlier demeanor, you seemed to have long noticed my presence."
A slightly hoarse voice suddenly manifested out of nowhere from behind Zhu Fei.
This person, clad in black, with a hooked nose and sharp eyes, exuded a unique and chilling aura characteristic of an Assassin.
As he moved, faint ripples of darkness flickered around him.
"Earlier, I suspected that Luo Shanhe might have died at your hands, and now it seems my suspicion is finally confirmed. Luo Shanhe indeed died at your hands!"
"Buzz!"
As soon as the black-clad man finished speaking, an invisible yet tangible black light abruptly shot out from his black light ring.
Zhu Fei didn’t even have time to react before being hit by this black light, sending him flying backwards in an instant.
Yet while still airborne, an intense sense of danger surged within him.
Without taking the time to ponder what had just happened, Zhu Fei immediately flickered out of sight.
With a faint spatial ripple, Zhu Fei’s figure suddenly vanished into the void!
Simultaneously, a massive black blade aura barely missed Zhu Fei’s previous position, leaving marks in the void.
A flash of light, and Zhu Fei’s figure appeared a hundred meters away.
He looked in the direction of the void where he previously stood, his pupils involuntarily contracting.
"Assassination Divine Skill! Are you the one behind Luo Shanhe?"
"Huh?"
The black-clad man tilted his head slightly, his gaze returning to Zhu Fei, a cruel smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
"Good insight, but there’s no reward for that; you still have to die!"
"Whoosh!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the black-clad man’s figure suddenly vanished from where he stood.
When he reappeared, he was already directly above Zhu Fei!
A blade filled with intense killing intent slashed down, causing Zhu Fei’s scalp to explode with shock. Unable to dodge in time, he instinctively lifted his hand to block.
"Buzz!"
Zhu Fei unleashed a Low Grade Defensive Immortal Artifact, which collided instantly with the killing intent blade!
With a "boom", the Low Grade Defensive Immortal Artifact was sent flying by the killing intent blade, and Zhu Fei seized this opportunity to flash continuously.
On the way, the Star Dream Moon Sword was already in his grasp, and he slashed fiercely at the incoming blade filled with killing intent!
"Buzz", a sword energy radiating five-colored brilliance shot from Zhu Fei’s hand, swiftly transforming in the air, and in the blink of an eye, formed a black and white intertwined energy mass.
When it collided with the killing intent blade, the powerful crushing and shock forces instantly shattered the blade into pieces!
Only then did the situation that had been suppressing Zhu Fei finally show a slight sign of alleviation.
The black-clad man’s eyes were fixed on the Star Dream Moon Sword in Zhu Fei’s hand, a look of endless greed appearing in his gaze.
"What a fine sword. Such a treasure is wasted in your hands; let me keep it safe instead!"
"Whoosh!"
A layer of ink-like black mist suddenly emanated from the black-clad man, enveloping the area for several miles in the blink of an eye.
Zhu Fei could clearly feel that under the shroud of this black mist, his perception and Divine Sense were becoming somewhat blurred.
Even the flow of Immortal Essence within him had become slightly sluggish and unresponsive.
This domain?
Doubt flickered in Zhu Fei’s eyes, but at this moment, the Star Dream Moon Sword in his hand radiated an incomparably brilliant glow.
At the same time, Zhu Fei unleashed his own Immortal Domain, instantly mitigating some of the effects the black mist was having on him.
The black-clad man was visibly surprised as he watched this unfold, his deep eyes reflecting his shock.
But soon enough, the surprise in his eyes transformed into intense killing intent.
"Dark Prison!"
As the black-clad man spoke, countless pillars of black smoke suddenly rose within the black mist.
These pillars quickly solidified, gradually transforming into thick black chains, which began to wrap directly around Zhu Fei’s body!
"Divine Skill, Detonate!"
At this critical moment, Zhu Fei suddenly turned around, and as if he could pierce through the darkness, cast a cold smile in the direction of the black-clad man.
Seeing Zhu Fei’s cold smile, the black-clad man was momentarily stunned before realizing the imminent danger.
Before he could react, an explosive cluster of blue flames suddenly rose within the entire space of black mist.
The fire blazed intensely; wherever it passed, explosions of various intensities erupted in the air.
When it met the black chains, they trembled violently, and soon blauwe bluish sparks began to ignite on their surfaces.
The sparks grew larger, and in no time had transformed into thick flames, twisting and writhing continuously in the dark space.
"This... This is the Divine Blue Netherworld Fire!"
The black-clad man suddenly exclaimed in shock.
At this moment, his prior composure was completely gone, replaced instead by a hint of frantic desperation.
"Flames, devour!"
Yet before he could act, the Divine Blue Netherworld Fire, as if encountering an exceptionally delectable treat, began devouring madly.
In just a moment, the once overwhelmingly dense black mist was half swallowed by the Divine Blue Netherworld Fire.
Witnessing this scene, the black-clad man nearly spat blood in anger.
He knew full well that the black mist he had conjured was no ordinary substance but originated from the black crystal sands of heaven and earth.
He had expended unknown efforts to crush those black crystal sands and incorporate them into his domain.
But now...
Thinking of the black mist that had just been swallowed by the Divine Blue Netherworld Fire, the black-clad man’s eyes turned vicious in an instant.
Glaring at Zhu Fei, he declared word by word, "I will kill you! I will definitely kill you!"
