Chapter 420: Chapter 90: Reunion with Xuan Yue_1
Ah Dai was continuously regulating his True Qi within his body. Under such a powerful attack, the protection offered by the Giant Spirit Snake Armor was minimal. Although the power of the nine assailants had been significantly diminished, it was still formidable, continuously ravaging his body. He dared not reveal a painful expression and could only slowly neutralize the nine sharp energy impacts. The nine individuals looked somewhat familiar; Ah Dai thought it over and remembered. Weren’t these the people who had pursued Uncle Owen to this place! Unable to suppress his feelings of excitement, a surging hatred welled up from within Ah Dai’s heart. They had delivered themselves right to his doorstep before he even started seeking them out. No longer caring whether he could handle such formidable assassins, he took a step forward, his whole body brimming with murderous intent, his eyes narrow. His sacred aura fighting spirit constantly exuded, forming a stark contrast against the evil Sword of Hades Qi. Ah Dai stared coldly at the nine assassins before him, his voice eerily lifeless, "Were you the ones who pursued Uncle Owen?"
As Ah Dai’s momentum suddenly intensified, the assassins retreated one step, cautiously regarding him. One of them replied coldly, "Indeed, we were following orders from the Guild to pursue Hades. No one can defy these orders. Surprisingly, your power surpasses even Hades. But no matter how strong you are, you cannot escape our grasp. Today, this will be your burial ground." While the presence of the Sword of Hades increased the threat level, it also invigorated their fighting spirits. After seven years of rigorous training, they firmly believed in their own strength. Even a Sword Saint might not be able to overcome them.
Ah Dai’s gaze was frosty as he stared at Owen’s killers, his resentment soaring. "Who will die today is still uncertain," he said coldly. "Back then, in the Illusive Forest, Uncle Owen managed to kill three of you. Today, the rest of you beasts will also die under the Sword of Hades. Uncle Owen, if you’re watching, watch Ah Dai avenge you." Ah Dai’s heart suddenly became extremely calm. Everything around him seemed to be under his control. Each slight energy fluctuation emitted by the nine men was clearly resonating in his heart. Under his command, Ah Dai, showing no regard for the sharp battling spirits still inside him, executed his first instant transmission. In the assassins’ shock, his body vanished into thin air, bringing with it the deadly field of the Sword of Hades.
The assassins fell into deep fear; they could distinctly feel the death-filled energy field enveloping their entire bodies.
A clear but murder-filled voice echoed in their ears, and the Evil Aura surged to an unprecedented peak, "Hades Slash——Rise——Seal!" A dark blue light transformed into a giant blade of death, slicing towards the assassins’ waists. The overwhelming Evil Power slowed their actions. Ah Dai was no longer the naive boy who used the Hades Sword Technique move by move. To better eliminate his enemies, he decisively chose his most potent attack that his injured body could endure—the Nether Slash. His intention was to severely injure these evil assassins. As he faced the assassins who had pursued Owen, Ah Dai’s innate kindness was entirely replaced by murderous intent, he held nothing back.
The assassins would not be so easily defeated. Over the years, they had used Hades as a hypothetical enemy to train constantly, devising countless ways to counter the Hades Sword Technique. However, when confronted with the Ultimate Evil Power of the Sword of Hades, they realized how feeble their countermeasures were.
The lead assassin reacted instantly. He roared, "Nine Changes of Destruction!" Nine black figures emerged and danced amidst the dark blue light produced by the Hades Sword Technique—the figures seemed to merge together, their black battle spirits forming a protective barrier around their bodies. Like leaves in a storm, they fluttered continuously, always staying just outside the Nether Slash attack range. However, was the Nether Slash—an attack from the Hades Sword Technique—so easy to deal with? Under Ah Dai’s control, the overwhelming Evil Power erupted, the blue light flickered and vanished. As their collective defense was shattered, amidst the howls, one black figure disappeared, the remaining eight figures, reeling from the shockwave of the tremendous Evil Power, shot upwards, landing tens of meters away.
The Sword of Hades returned to its sheath as Ah Dai continued to gasp for breath. The energy contained within his Silver Body had already been fully activated. Although the sharp battling spirits were dispersed, an even more terrifying Evil Power continued to backlash against Ah Dai’s body. Waves of cold and powerful energy continuously seeped into Ah Dai’s body. With a groan, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The Divine Dragon’s Blood in his chest glowed faintly. Using the Holy Power contained within the Divine Dragon’s Blood, Ah Dai barely managed to force the Evil Aura out of his body, although this consumed much of his capabilities. Looking at the remaining eight black figures in the distance, Ah Dai’s heart filled with surprise. He hadn’t expected his Nether Slash, possessing such formidable power, to kill only one opponent. He did not dare to use the same move again now, yet there were still eight opponents.
