Divine-level Base

Chapter 306 - 305: Suppressing Xingchen

The Steel Beast’s left hand twisted, transforming into a Golden Heavy Shield that it slammed directly toward the three beams of starlight.

The three beams of starlight suddenly warped, dodging the Steel Beast and hurtling toward Shu Feng like bolts of lightning.

Curved Shooting! This was the most terrifying Spirit Spear Technique mastered by Assassin Xingchen. It allowed bullets to curve and hit enemies behind all kinds of cover.

It was with this uncanny, top-level Divine Spear Technique that Assassin Xingchen had assassinated countless powerhouses.

Shu Feng’s figure flickered slightly, and he vanished from his spot.

Two of the starlight beams hit nothing but air, but the third seemed to have predicted Shu Feng’s dodge and slammed directly into the right side of his abdomen.

Inside the Base Space, a Dragon Hunting Dog’s abdomen burst open. It struggled to crawl toward the Warrior Synthesis Nest.

’What an incredible Spear Technique! So this is a top-level Spirit Spear Master of the Spirit Venerable Realm! He really is terrifyingly strong! One-on-one, I’m no match for him at all.’

’Too bad for him, I never fight alone!’

Shu Feng glanced in Assassin Xingchen’s direction, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and instantly summoned four hundred Hundred-Colored Dragon Eagles.

The four hundred Hundred-Colored Dragon Eagles and the six hundred Dragon Hunting Dogs on the ground formed an integrated air-and-land assault, creating a terrifying Summoned Beast Corps that charged madly toward Assassin Xingchen.

’So this is Shu Feng’s Summoned Beast Corps! It’s horrifying! There’s no chance!’

Seeing the Summoned Beasts swarming him from the sky and ground, Assassin Xingchen felt his scalp tingle. His expression changed slightly as he retreated explosively, transforming into a streak of light and fleeing frantically into the distance.

Assassin Xingchen was the top solo assassin from the Assassin’s House. The reason he had survived for so long was that his perception of danger far surpassed that of an ordinary person.

A terrifying Summoned Beast Corps of six hundred Dragon Hunting Dogs plus four hundred Hundred-Colored Dragon Eagles could definitely kill Assassin Xingchen.

The Steel Beast, in its third form, stood eight meters tall. With a single stride, it could cover six meters, its speed far surpassing Xingchen’s as it madly closed in on him.

"Concealing Breath Technique, Invisibility Technique!"

Ripples shimmered across Xingchen’s body, and in an instant, he vanished. At the same time, his aura began to recede until his Spiritual Pressure disappeared completely.

The Concealing Breath Technique and the Invisibility Technique were the two top-level Skills that Assassin Xingchen had mastered. He had only implanted these two Skill Seeds, as evolving them had consumed a massive amount of his resources.

The Concealing Breath Technique and the Invisibility Technique were also the main reasons Assassin Xingchen had been able to sneak up on Shu Feng undetected.

Within a few breaths, the Steel Beast appeared where Assassin Xingchen had vanished. A vicious glint flashed in its eyes as it fired countless steel pellets in every direction like bullets.

The innumerable steel pellets rained down over a thousand-meter radius, but they all hit nothing.

This was what was most terrifying about Assassin Xingchen. He had achieved Mastery of the Concealing Breath Technique and the Invisibility Technique, and his assassination arts were also at the level of Mastery, making him as elusive as a ghost. Unless one was a Spirit Saint Realm powerhouse or possessed a top-level Secret Treasure that could break through invisibility, there was simply no way to deal with him.

’Invisibility Technique? Too bad for you, you’ve met your nemesis!’

Watching Assassin Xingchen disappear, the corners of Shu Feng’s mouth lifted slightly into a smirk.

It was true that the Steel Beast had no way of dealing with the invisible Assassin Xingchen, but the Dragon Hunting Dogs were different. Their original forms already possessed powerful tracking abilities.

They were monsters bred by the Divine-level Powerhouse known as the Hunting King, specifically for tracking. When Shu Feng had strengthened them, he had enhanced their tracking Ability even further.

Not even Zhu Yeying, the prodigy of the Shadow Demon Race, had been able to escape the Dragon Hunting Dogs’ senses and search. How could Assassin Xingchen’s Invisibility Technique possibly allow him to evade their pursuit?

Only a powerful invisibility Secret Treasure on the level of the [Lord of the Dark Night’s Magic Ring] could possibly hide from the Dragon Hunting Dogs’ search.

The six hundred Dragon Hunting Dogs quickly arrived at the spot where Assassin Xingchen had disappeared. They sniffed the air, then rapidly fanned out to begin their search.

’Those monsters... don’t tell me they’ve found me?’

As Assassin Xingchen watched the Dragon Hunting Dogs charge toward his position one after another, an ominous premonition welled up inside him.

After using Secret Techniques like the Concealing Breath Technique and the Invisibility Technique, assassins would disappear from sight, but their movement speed would become extremely slow.

Only legendary Divine Techniques like Gale Step, Void Shuttling, or Shadow Jump allowed for high-speed movement while invisible or in a similar state.

’My Invisibility Technique can’t even be seen through by the Intermediate Magic, Eye of True Sight. These monsters are just a bit stronger and faster than normal; they don’t have any special traits. It’s impossible for them to have discovered me. If I let myself be scared out of hiding, I’d be a complete fool.’

Assassin Xingchen glanced at the eight-meter-tall Steel Beast, a flicker of apprehension in his eyes. His Spiritual Sense was very powerful, and he could feel a deadly danger emanating from the Steel Beast. That terrifying monster absolutely possessed the strength to kill him.

The Dragon Hunting Dogs seemed not to have noticed Assassin Xingchen, passing through his area one by one, which put his mind at ease for a moment.

Suddenly, eight of the Dragon Hunting Dogs leaped up, pouncing directly at Assassin Xingchen, who was standing on the branch of a large tree.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Assassin Xingchen’s expression changed slightly. Beams of starlight shot out like meteors, striking the heads of the eight Dragon Hunting Dogs and blowing them apart one by one.

The ground trembled slightly!

The eight-meter-tall Steel Beast erupted into motion, generating a sonic boom as it slashed madly at Assassin Xingchen.

"Let’s see who dies first!"

A crazed look flashed in Assassin Xingchen’s eyes. Wielding his Famous Gun, [Xingchen], he used Spirit-Attaching Strike, firing a dazzling pillar of starlight that shot toward the Steel Beast’s head like a meteor.

Dazzling golden light flared from the Steel Beast’s body as it condensed a Golden Heavy Shield in front of its head and simultaneously deployed a golden Spiritual Membrane.

The pillar of starlight slammed into the golden Spiritual Membrane, shattering it in an instant. It continued onward to strike the Golden Heavy Shield, piercing through it and blasting into the Steel Beast’s head, leaving a fist-sized hole.

But in the next moment, the Steel Beast appeared in front of Assassin Xingchen and slashed down. Two terrifying blade flashes shone out, severing both of Assassin Xingchen’s arms.

An incomparably sharp steel spear erupted from the Steel Beast’s body and stabbed into Assassin Xingchen’s abdomen, running him through.

Bursts of terrifying Spiritual Ghost Thunder erupted, blasting into Assassin Xingchen’s body and shattering his Spiritual Power.

Before long, the Steel Beast appeared before Shu Feng, holding the nearly dead Assassin Xingchen and his two severed arms.
