Starting Reward – A Three Thousand Assassin Network - Chapter 39

Chapter 39 — Death by Heavenly Scourge

At this moment, within Juetian Cliff, seven shadows lurked in the dense forest.

They moved like ghosts, continuously harvesting the assassins hidden in the woods.

Although the assassins from the Rakshasa Hall were extremely secretive in their concealment, to those in the Transcendent Realm, they appeared like lights in the dark night. With a sweep of their spiritual awareness, they could clearly see everything within hundreds of yards.

Even for some Xiantian realm assassins who integrated themselves into the surrounding environment, the sound of their heartbeat and the flow of their blood, even the slightest movements, couldn’t escape the perception of Yingtian and the others. They died without even knowing how they were killed.

The most significant difference between the Celestial Realm and the Transcendent Realm lies in spiritual awareness. While the Celestial Realm can utilize the power of heaven and earth against enemies, the Transcendent Realm can use spiritual awareness to manipulate the power of heaven and earth, creating a spatial domain to trap enemies. In this domain, everything is under control, and the enemies are like fish on a chopping board, awaiting slaughter.

Currently, Juetian Cliff was eerily quiet.

Even the nocturnal animals that usually moved around at night made no sound.

Yingtian, along with the Six Sword Slaves, moved towards their destination. Soon, they arrived beneath a loft.

In the moonlight, they faintly saw the words “Rakshasa” engraved above.

Yingtian glanced at the Six Sword Slaves beside him and made a hand gesture, signaling them to surround the entire loft.

Seeing this, the Six Sword Slaves immediately dispersed.

Meanwhile, Yingtian produced several small spiders in his hands, placing them on the ground. He controlled them to climb towards the loft at a surprisingly fast speed.

These were not ordinary spiders. After being cultivated by Yingtian, they carried a unique poison called “Thousand Spiders Devouring Dreams.”

This poison could create illusions or enter the dreams of others.

Under Yingtian’s control, these small spiders crawled on the eaves of the loft, leaving a silk thread at each level. The Dream Devouring poison spread through this method.

Soon, the entire loft was enveloped in spider webs.

Inside the loft, the brothers Heavenly Scourge and Earth Scourge seemed to sense something.

They hastily opened the window and found several thin spider threads. A spider was spinning a web in the corner.

Seeing this, the brothers frowned and exchanged glances, understanding the meaning in each other’s eyes.

“We have enemies! Heavenly Network!”

At this moment, a red light descended from the moonlit sky.

Under the cover of this red moonlight, the entire world appeared extremely eerie.

“Playing tricks!”

“Who is it?”

“Come out. .. come out … come …”

Heavenly Scourge shouted loudly, and his voice echoed through Juetian Cliff.

Normally, such a disturbance would attract the attention of other assassins from the Rakshasa Hall, but it was unusually quiet at the moment.

Meanwhile, a figure stood on a tree branch in the dark, holding a long sword.

Behind him, the red moon unexpectedly underwent a lunar eclipse. Simultaneously, the Concealing Sword in Yingtian’s hand emitted a dense red light, saturating the surroundings with a murderous aura, almost materializing.

“Such a strong killing intent! This person must be a Transcendent expert!” Heavenly Scourge spoke again.

Without Heavenly Scourge’s reminder, Earth Scourge also understood. His face looked extremely unpleasant. “Big brother, if he can appear here, I’m afraid all the other assassins in Juetian Cliff have been killed!”

“I’ve thought that one day we would have to confront them, but I never expected it to come so soon!”

“May I ask if the esteemed one is the master of the Heavenly Network? Can you tell me your name?”

Facing Earth Scourge’s question, Yingtian calmly responded, “A dead person doesn’t need to know too much.”

Having said that, Yingtian immediately swung the Concealing Sword in his hand.

“Yin Flourishes, Day Darkens!”

This was Yingtian’s ultimate move. With this move, he created a space that obscured the sun, covering the entire top of Juetian Cliff. With the coordination of Dream Devouring spiders, this illusion became extremely grand.

The red moon in the sky became extraordinarily huge, more than ten times its usual size.

The killing intent in the entire space also became more intense.

“This person is a formidable opponent; don’t hold back!” Heavenly Scourge stared at Yingtian and said casually.

After speaking, both of them simultaneously activated their inner true essence, using the Blood Slaughter Technique. Blood-red light surrounded their bodies, and with a wave of their hands, two long swords were drawn towards them, appearing in their hands!

Just as Heavenly Scourge and Earth Scourge were about to make a move, the Six Sword Slaves, who had been hiding, also revealed themselves.

The six of them stared intently at the two brothers.

“These six people!”

“How is this possible …”

“Could it be that all of them are in the Transcendent Realm?!”

At this moment, the two brothers were extremely shocked. Seven people, a total of seven Transcendent experts.

They initially thought there was only Yingtian, and they still had a chance to fight back. However, with the appearance of the Six Sword Slaves, they couldn’t see any hope.

“Conceal the sun and darken the day!”

Just as Heavenly Scourge and Earth Scourge were shocked, Yingtian took action.

A burst of red sword light erupted at the Concealing Sword, slashing towards the brothers. This attack was not a tangible method but an illusion used to confuse their vision.

Sure enough, Heavenly Scourge and Earth Scourge hastily used their swords to defend, but the red light pierced through the sword bodies and shot directly towards their eyes.

“Not good!”

They both immediately closed their eyes.

At that moment, the Six Sword Slaves also made their move.

The leader, Zhen Gang, surged with true essence throughout his body, unleashing the most powerful strike. With unparalleled force, he attacked Heavenly Scourge.

Feeling the strong gust of wind from above, Heavenly Scourge quickly raised his sword to defend.

Dang!

A tremendous force directly lifted the entire floor of the loft.

Following, Luo Feng and Mie Hun, the two sisters, swiftly moved in. Each holding a sharp sword, they stabbed towards the left and right sides of Heavenly Scourge.

Seeing this, Heavenly Scourge had to dodge hastily.

At the same time, Luan Shen, who had been waiting for an opportunity, attacked from various angles. Facing the combined assault of Luan Shen, Luo Feng, and Mie Hun, Heavenly Scourge was in a difficult situation.

Meanwhile, hiding in the shadows, Wanglei saw that Heavenly Scourge was occupied and took advantage of the situation. He leaped into the air, wielding two swords, and struck down with a single blow.

Facing the fierce attacks of Luan Shen, Luo Feng, Mie Hun, and Wanglei, Heavenly Scourge found it challenging to evade. The powerful strike from Zhen Gang had already disrupted the true essence in his body.

Everything happened in an instant, and on the side, Earth Scourge wanted to step forward and help, but Yingtian blocked his way.

He could only watch as his elder brother was surrounded and attacked. However, he wasn’t in a much better situation, as Yingtian’s attacks were strange and unsettling. Each sword carried illusions, making it difficult for him to cope.

“Elder brother, be careful!” Earth Scourge warned when he saw Wanglei’s attack.

Heavenly Scourge, upon hearing the words, raised his head to see Wanglei wielding two sharp blades coming at him. He was frightened, and his hair stood on end. Quickly, he retreated.

Swish! In the darkness, a sword light suddenly burst forth as a blindfolded swordsman unleashed a deadly strike.

Thud~ A sound echoed, and a long sword directly pierced through Heavenly Scourge’s chest from behind.

“Ugh …” Heavenly Scourge instantly felt a sharp pain in his body, and his strength was rapidly draining away.

He lowered his head to see the long sword stabbed into his chest from behind.

Whoosh! The Broken Water sword was pulled back.

Heavenly Scourge immediately used the sword in his hand to support his body, half kneeling on the ground. He covered his chest with his left hand, and with difficulty, he turned his head to see who had killed him.

Hum~ A sword humming sounded, instantly slashing across his neck. Fresh red blood gushed out.

Heavenly Scourge widened his eyes, covered his neck, and unwillingly fell into a pool of blood.

Even in death, he didn’t reveal his true strength and was killed by the coordinated attacks of the Six Sword Slaves.
