The Dark Mantle's Earth rank assassin had appeared and exploded with terrifying strength.
Two stars were embroidered on the assassin's black robes. He was a Two Star Earth rank assassin. His strength must be very tyrannical.
The Dark Mantle was a huge organization. The assassins within it were divided into four ranks: Heavenly Assassins and Earthly Terminators. An Earth rank assassin was definitely an expert in the Out of Aperture realm.
With a ripping sound, the Earth rank assassin unsheathed the black sword in his hand and released a terrifying sword aura. In the next moment, it swept towards the Seventh Prince's neck!
The Seventh Prince had already been hit by the sword and was seriously injured. Facing the Earth rank assassin's powerful means, he simply couldn't resist.
At this moment of life and death, Ye Qing's figure moved and arrived in front of the Seventh Prince.
No matter what, Ye Qing was considered to be on the same boat as the Seventh Prince. He couldn't watch the Seventh Prince fall without doing anything.
"Riiip!"
In an instant, sword aura violently surged. Ye Qing held the Immortal Execution Sword and attacked. A layer of Sword Domain enveloped the Earth rank assassin's body.
The Dominator's Sword Domain had unimaginable power in Ye Qing's hands.
A layer of Sword Domain enveloped the assassin. It was filled with the domineering aura of a king, as if it could dominate the world and move unhindered through the nine heavens!
Under the influence of the Dominator's Sword Domain, the Dark Mantle Earth rank assassin's movements became sluggish. The black sword in his hand was unable to slash towards the Seventh Prince's neck!
"Courting death!"
The Earth rank assassin was exposed. His original target was only the Seventh Prince. If Ye Qing hadn't interfered, he would have succeeded.
"Ye Qing, do you know the consequences of offending the Dark Mantle?
Our target this time is the Seventh Prince. Next time, it may be you! "
The Earth rank assassin's voice was incomparably cold and contained a terrifying killing intent.
He actually knew Ye Qing's name. Moreover, he didn't call him Sun Wukong, but Ye Qing's real name.
It was obvious that this two star earth rank assassin of the Dark Mantle knew Ye Qing's background and had seen reports related to Ye Qing.
Ye Qing wasn't too surprised to hear the assassin say his real name. Last time, he'd killed a nine star assassin from the Dark Mantle. At that time, he'd known that he'd been targeted by the Dark Mantle.
"Ye Qing?"
"Young Master Sun, what is going on?"
The Seventh Prince and the Third Princess were both stunned. Their faces were filled with question marks.
"There's no time to explain!"
Ye Qing sneered as he waved the Immortal Slaying Sword in his hand. A terrifying Sword Qi swept out, causing cracks to appear in the void.
At the same time, Heavenly Saber Xia Mu, who was not far away, launched an attack. The large saber in his hand slashed at the Two-Star Earth assassin's head.
Heavenly Blade Xia Mu was, after all, a fierce general recruited by the seventh prince. He had received a lot of benefits from the seventh prince. When the seventh prince was in danger, he chose to stand up instead of retreating.
Buzz!
The snow-white large saber slashed down like a heavenly saber descending.
The Two-Star Earth assassin's face became even colder. The black sword in his hand swept across the void. In an instant, the Heavenly Saber let out a violent buzzing sound.
Heavenly Blade Xia Mu let out a blood-curdling scream. His body was bathed in blood as he retreated rapidly. He'd only exchanged blows with the Two-Star Earth assassin for a short while and he'd already been severely injured!
Of course, Heavenly Blade Xia Mu's strength wasn't that weak. It was just that he'd been injured all this while and couldn't exert his full strength.
Heavenly Blade Xia Mu had been severely injured in the battle with Ye Qing. He'd been on the verge of death and hadn't fully recovered until now.
"I'll kill whoever dares to stop me!"
The Two-Star Earth assassin was incomparably arrogant. His face was filled with confidence.
According to the Dark Mantle assassins' style, they'd usually consider retreating after their first attack failed.
This was because the first attack of an assassin was usually a fatal one. If it didn't succeed, it meant that the enemy's strength was strong enough to threaten the assassin's life.
However, this Two-Star Earth assassin didn't retreat. Instead, he was arrogant. In his opinion, whether it was the Seventh Prince of the Purple Sea Empire or Ye Qing of the Azure Cloud Empire, they were all insignificant existences.
"Seventh Brother, be careful!"
Zi Yanran cried out in alarm. Her face was incomparably pale. Her delicate body had been pierced by the black sword and her injuries were very serious. It was already a miracle that she'd been able to hold on until now.
However, the current her couldn't help the Seventh Prince. Seeing the Two-Star Earth assassin's attack descend, her eyes revealed a look of despair.
"A mere assassin, what's there to be arrogant about?"
Ye Qing's mouth curved into a cold smile. He first had Ah Kun bring Huangfu Lan and Cai Xiaofang to retreat.
A Two-Star Earth assassin was extraordinary and powerful. Ye Qing didn't want the aftermath of the battle to affect Huangfu Lan and Cai Xiaofang.
At the same time, Ye Qing took out a lot of Six-Star healing pills from the system space and gave them to Zi Yanran.
Ye Qing was a moving treasure trove. There were all kinds of treasures in the system space. He even had a lot of Six-Star healing pills.
After eating the pills, Zi Yanran's complexion was obviously much better.
Ye Qing came through the void and took over the battlefield. He had Zi Yanran and the Seventh Prince retreat to a distance to heal their injuries.
Now, in front of the Two-Star Earth assassin, only Ye Qing was left.
"Kid, if you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish!
After all, you're one of the must-kill targets of our Dark Mantle Division! "
The Two-Star Earth assassin laughed sinisterly. He waved the black sword in his hand, releasing a cold killing intent.
The Two-Star Earth assassin violently attacked. The strength he displayed was indeed very terrifying. His cultivation had reached the sixth stage of the Out of Aperture realm.
Even Heavenly Blade Xia Mu in his peak condition wouldn't be a match for the Two-Star Earth assassin.
Even the Seventh Prince, who had a high cultivation base, would not be able to survive against an Earth level Two Star assassin.
The main thing was that the Two-Star Earth assassin's method of concealing his aura was too strong. He caught the Seventh Prince and the Third Princess off guard and injured them at the beginning.
Under such circumstances, the Seventh Prince and the Third Princess could only watch from the sidelines. They couldn't help Ye Qing fight.
"I wonder if Young Master Sun can win."
"No, he should be called Young Master Ye. The Two-Star Earth assassin's strength is indeed very strong. In my opinion, Young Master Ye may not be able to win. At the crucial moment, even if we're seriously injured, we still have to make a move!"
While the Seventh Prince and the Third Princess were talking, Heavenly Blade Xia Mu, who was not far away, had already fainted. He was completely useless.
"Buzz!"
In the sky, a shocking sword aura shot towards the clouds.
Under the attack of that violent sword aura, Ye Qing maintained his calm. He didn't panic at all.
"You're still too inexperienced to compete with me in the sword!"
Ye Qing's face revealed a trace of indifference. He held the Celestial Slayer Sword and took the initiative to fight with the Two-Star Earth assassin.
For a moment, the sky was filled with sword radiance. Ye Qing's Dominating Sword Territory was an invincible existence. In comparison, the Two-Star Earth assassin's sword skills were much inferior.
After just three moves, the Two-Star Earth assassin's face changed. He didn't expect Ye Qing's sword skills to be so terrifying. It actually suppressed him in all aspects.
"How can this be?
My Assassin's Dominating Sword Territory is actually at a disadvantage! "
The Two-Star Earth assassin panicked. His eyes were filled with fear. He had a bad premonition. He knew that if he didn't leave now, he would probably die here.
The power of Ye Qing's sword skills had already exceeded the Two-Star Earth assassin's expectations. A deep sense of fear spread in his heart!
