Before his shocked eyes, Xiao Huhai moved swiftly and was already in front of him, his long sword whistling as it slashed down, carrying a surge of sword intent as it fell towards Ye Hun.
Just then, the old man in the Taoist robe's eyes darkened, and black energy surged wildly around him.
He slammed his cane into the ground and roared, "Tear him apart!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an array appeared beside Xiao Huhai, with ancient characters rotating, containing supreme Dao essence.
But that power was extremely sinister, filled with a chilling aura, as if it came from hell.
The old man in the Taoist robe was clearly a heretical cultivator.
The next instant, a sharp claw extended from the formation, its ghastly white bones emanating endless yin energy, its aura chilling.
Sensing the terrifying killing intent, Xiao Huhai quickly retreated, thus avoiding the whistling, stabbing claws.
His gaze darkened, and he once again lunged towards Ye Hun, his longsword crashing down with a deafening roar.
Upon seeing this, the old man in the Taoist robe's eyes darkened, and he roared, "Mountain of Corpses!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an array appeared in front of Night Soul, with countless skeletons piled up to form a mountain, blocking Night Soul's way.
However, at that moment, Xiao Huhai flashed and instantly appeared in front of the Taoist elder. His long sword slashed down with a whooshing sound, and the violent sword intent pressed down on the Taoist elder like a mountain.
This feint came very suddenly, and Xiao Huhai's sword strike was extremely fast. The old man in the Taoist robe had no time to react and could only watch the cold light flash by.
"Zzz—"
The old man in the Taoist robe frowned, a gash appeared on his chest, and he staggered backward. The formation he had cast instantly collapsed.
As the claws disappeared, the wall built by the skeleton vanished instantly.
Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Huhai flashed forward and reappeared in front of Ye Hun, his longsword whistling down, piercing Ye Hun's heart.
He was hunched over, his eyes wide with shock. "How...is this possible?"
Xiao Huhai drew his longsword, and blood instantly splattered out. He turned around and looked at the old man in the Taoist robe.
The old man in the Taoist robe frowned, realizing that the situation was not good.
He didn't cultivate his physical body, so his physical strength was naturally incomparable to that of a body cultivator. With just one sword strike, he was seriously injured.
Even the Yin energy around him was overflowing wildly, and his power was rapidly declining.
The Lord of Shadows watched this scene with cold eyes, making no move, seemingly lost in thought.
Just as the old man in the Taoist robe was pondering a countermeasure, Xiao Huhai moved instantly, appearing in front of the old man in the Taoist robe in a flash, raising his long sword high and slashing down.
This sword strike was fierce, with a surge of energy on the blade, and it crashed down on the old man in the Taoist robe.
The old man in the Taoist robe's eyes darkened, and his aura surged. He gently raised his black cane and planted it on the ground, and an array appeared in front of him.
A wall of countless skulls blocked his way, standing between him and Xiao Huhai, like an insurmountable fortress.
Xiao Huhai's eyes were cold and deep. He slashed at the wall with his sword. The collision of the two forces stirred up howling winds, causing the void to tremble slightly.
Sensing the powerful sword intent, beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the old man in the Taoist robe, and his aura surged towards the formation as he tried to resist it.
Xiao Huhai's eyes darkened, and with a roar, the aura around him surged, all flowing towards the sword blade.
The violent force pressed down, instantly shattering the wall, and the skeleton vanished in an instant.
As the longsword descended, the old man in the Taoist robe trembled all over and could only look in the direction of the Shadow Lord, crying out, "Save me!"
The Lord of Shadows propped his head up with one hand, his gaze calm as he watched the longsword fall.
A gash appeared on his neck, and the old man in the Taoist robe collapsed to the ground with a thud, lifeless.
Upon seeing this, the Lord of Shadows finally stood up from his seat and then surprisingly began to applaud.
Xiao Huhai looked quite puzzled by his strange behavior.
He walked down the stairs and looked at Xiao Huhai. "Do you know that they are the third and fifth ranked assassins in the Shadow Order?"
Little Hu Hai looked at him calmly, "Next, it's your turn."
The Lord of Shadows wasn't annoyed. He let out a strange laugh and then said, "A few months ago, you were still a child who couldn't use a sword, weren't you?"
After Xueyuan died, he saw the portrait and information of Xiao Huhai and clearly remembered the contents.
The only one who knows some martial arts is Gongzi Gao, but he is no match for Xue Yuan at all; he can be easily killed.
The other two dolls, on the other hand, are two useless pieces of trash.
The kind that can be completely ignored.
But unexpectedly, only a few months later, the useless little kid from back then returned with weapons, and his strength had grown to such an extent.
Such a rate of growth is undoubtedly monstrous!
If they can recruit him, that shadow will become much stronger.
But if that's not possible, then such a monster must not be allowed to grow; it should be nipped in the bud.
Xiao Huhai was too lazy to waste words on this issue.
His expression turned cold, and he swept away in a flash, instantly arriving in front of the Shadow Lord, his longsword crashing down with a thunderous roar.
But the next moment, Xiao Huhai was stunned.
The Shadow Lord simply raised one hand and caught the falling sword with his bare hands.
That powerful force instantly shattered the terrifying sword intent.
Xiao Huhai frowned. "Body cultivation?"
He had heard Gai Nie say that when one cultivates one's body to a certain level, one's physical body will become incredibly strong.
If the blade is not strong enough, it is impossible to break through.
The Lord of Shadows did not answer, but looked at him and said, "Now, you have a chance to survive: join the Shadows."
Xiao Huhai frowned. "I just killed your men, and you want me to join you?"
He hadn't expected the Shadow Lord to be so magnanimous, watching his subordinates being killed and still making such a request.
The Shadow Lord's eyes were icy cold. "They are nothing but tools. Now that better ones have appeared, they should be replaced."
