Chapter 1532: Assassination

The moment Xiang Shaoyun attacked, he aimed to kill. Both his main body and his soul clone moved at the same time, with his main body aiming for Xie Gong while his clone was aiming for Chi Duo. He wanted to shorten the time he used to assassinate the two so that he could escape as quickly as possible.

One ought to know that Chi Duo was not the only Devil God around. The moment the other Devil Gods were alerted, it was highly unlikely that Xiang Shaoyun would be able to flee.

The instant Xiang Shaoyun made his move, Chi Duo detected him. Powerful devilish energy surged out of Chi Duo’s body and formed layer upon layer of armor. His armor carried a rebound effect that could bounce Xiang Shaoyun’s attack off his body.

However, Chi Duo was still too slow. Xiang Shaoyun struck him with a powerful fist powered by the profundity of primal chaos, instantly punching through the armor and striking his body.

Xie Gong reacted much slower than Chi Duo. Xiang Shaoyun’s punch struck his head, blasting him deep into the ground. Blood sprayed from the back of Xie Gong’s head.

Xiang Shaoyun wasn’t stupid enough to believe that Xie Gong would die so easily. After all, the diabolic dragons were known for their tough bodies. Even though he had successfully struck his target, he had merely gained the upper hand but hadn’t succeeded in his assassination.

“Die!” Xiang Shaoyun roared as a fiery dragon burst out of his arm. The flaming dragon wrapped around Xie Gong, unleashing a terrifying burning force powered by the profundity of flame.

Xie Gong’s head cracked open from the punch, but as a pseudo-God, he naturally had extraordinary resilience. He immediately transformed into his true form and pushed his body to start healing rapidly. At the same time, he also mustered more strength, attempting to jolt the flame off his body.

But since Xiang Shaoyun was determined to kill him, how would Xie Gong be able to survive?

Saintfire Pillar Technique!

Instantly, nine pillars appeared around Xie Gong, sealing and burning his body. The flame grew more and more terrifying, reaching a point where even a God couldn’t withstand it. Xie Gong pushed his defenses to his limits, causing all his scales to shine as he tried to block the flame. However, the flame was too strong, causing him to wail in pain.

Roar!

His miserable wails alerted the surrounding devils. A large number of devils rushed over, realizing that Xie Gong was under attack.

“Time to end this,” said Xiang Shaoyun as he gathered death energy and the profundity of primal chaos around both his fists. He then punched Xie Gong, whose scales were starting to drop from the burn damage.

The punches’ domineering force intruded upon Xie Gong’s body, spreading destruction in his body and extinguishing his life force, causing his body to rapidly wither away. Despite that, Xiang Shaoyun left nothing to chance and continued punching until he was sure Xie Gong was dead. Blood and flesh littered his surroundings, presenting a shocking sight.

As soon as he placed the corpse into his astral cosmos sea, he sensed a terrifying God Realm energy heading toward him, an attack from a different Devil God. Xiang Shaoyun unleashed the Nether Yin Gate without any hesitation, absorbing the incoming attack into the gate. However, the attack was too powerful and forcefully broke the gate before sending him flying and coughing blood.

Both his arms were nearly crippled from that one attack. One could see how strong the attacker was. Fortunately, Xiang Shaoyun was able to immediately withdraw his presence and retreat. His main body was still not strong enough to face an actual God.

When the Devil God discovered that Xie Gong had disappeared, he knew that Xie Gong had probably perished. He roared in fury, “Damn you, Imperial Nether Clan! You dare kill the prince? Show yourself!”

After seeing the Nether Yin Gate, the Devil God was sure that this was an act of the Imperial Nether Clan. His furious aura rippled out, creating massive destruction around him. He knew about the Invisible Nether well. Since he had no way of seeing his opponent, he had to resort to carpet bombing the area.

Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun was escaping as fast as he could. Fortunately, he had retreated fast enough, or he would have been pulverized by the carpet bombing. As for his soul clone, it had failed to kill Chi Duo.

Chi Duo had sustained serious injuries from the ambush, but he was still a Devil God. He had reacted immediately and distanced himself from Xiang Shaoyun. He had then mustered all his strength and focused on defending. Even with Xiang Shaoyun’s terrifying strength, Xiang Shaoyun had only managed to seriously injure Chi Duo. After all, a God couldn’t be killed so easily.

Ultimately, Chi Duo relied on his ability and nearly managed to reveal Xiang Shaoyun’s soul clone. With other Devil Gods rushing toward them, Xiang Shaoyun had no choice but to withdraw with his clone. Inwardly, he sighed, If I had used the Yin Mother Sword immediately, I might have been able to kill him. What a pity.

Instead of leaving the Devil Domain, Xiang Shaoyun went deeper into the Devil Domain. With the Invisible Nether ability, he had no fear. He selected a quiet place and hid. There, he devoured one devil core after another, pushing his devil cultivation nearer and nearer to sixth-stage Devil Saint Realm.

As for the devils, they had indeed slowed their invasion. Xie Gong’s death had caused massive chaos among them. Many devils believed that the Imperial Nether Clan had acted against them, and many of them also greatly feared the Imperial Nether Clan. They even wondered if a conflict had started between the Imperial Nether Clan and the Diabolic Dragon Clan.

Even the Devil Gods had no choice but to figure out what was happening before they continued invading the dominion. If the Imperial Nether Clan was really stabbing them in their back, things would get troublesome.

As a result, humanity found that the devils had slowed their invasion. The humans even thought that the devils had given up out of fear. However, a large number of devils had successfully entered the Dusk Dynasty’s territory, so they had to deal with them if they didn’t want these walking calamities to continue roaming the dominion.

After about half a month, Xiang Shaoyun left his hiding place. His target was still Chi Duo. He would gladly leave after killing Chi Duo.

But before he could approach Chi Duo, a devil with sharp senses discovered him. It had been hiding under the ground all this while. The moment Xiang Shaoyun approached, it alerted the others of his arrival.

“Whoever you are, die!” roared Chi Duo as he covered his surroundings with thick devilish energy and formed an independent domain, not giving Xiang Shaoyun a chance to retreat. He was determined to kill Xiang Shaoyun then and there.
