Assassin Seven, starting in Shennong Kingdom!

Chapter 162 The Hand of Shadows

The Hand of Shadows, a special entity within the Shadow Organization.

They were specifically trained to become candidates for Shadow Assassins for the Shadow Organization.

He was also the one who nurtured Qi.

The middle-aged man sighed, looking at the scene before him, but there was no surprise in his eyes as he said, "Jiu has lost. He is not as good as Qi."

"……cough!"

Wu Liuqi's knife pierced Jiu's chest, while the Demon Blade was blocked by scissors in front of him.

Jiu's sword is inherently longer, while the Demon Sword is a short blade.

Jiu was too eager for quick success and instant benefits, believing that as long as he obtained the Demon Blade, he could defeat Qi. However, he overlooked the fact that even when Qi obtained the Demon Blade, it took him nearly a year to fully utilize it.

Even without complete mastery, the Demon Blade still has significant drawbacks.

In that short span of time, it was actually Jiu's energy that was quietly devoured by the demonic blade!

His speed... slowed down.

Too many unfavorable conditions pushed Jiu into an abyss of no return.

"Uh ah ah!"

Jiu struggled, forcibly mobilizing the internal energy within her body, attempting to wield the demonic blade.

hum!

However, the demonic sword only slightly trembled the eye-shaped gem on its hilt, absorbing all of his true energy.

"Why!?"

His eyes widened in disbelief, and he collapsed to his knees, utterly powerless.

Wu Liuqi walked up to him and explained calmly, "This knife isn't as good as you think. It's an evil spirit's blade. If you don't use it properly, it won't just fail to help you, it will kill you."

"Then how are you able to control it..."

Jiu's gradually dimming eyes were filled with resentment. Even though he could feel the demonic blade still frantically devouring his true energy, he still gripped the hilt tightly and refused to let go.

Wu Liuqi shook his head. "I haven't fully mastered it. Even the me of the past only cooperated with it to kill people."

The injuries were too severe, and the backlash from the demonic blade fully erupted.

Jiu's body visibly began to become emaciated, and her internal energy was gradually drained!

"Hey! Let go of me!"

Wu Liuqi was startled. Was the other person courting death?

"Hehehe..."

At that moment, Jiu suddenly sprang up and swung her sword!

The demonic blade flashed with a ghostly light and instantly shattered into countless fragments. Wu Liuqi was startled and dodged it.

boom!

This stab triggered an explosion.

Wu Liuqi retreated to a distance and looked at him solemnly.

However, Jiu remained standing still, still holding the demonic sword in her hand.

"..."

"Seven".

Just then, the Shadow Hand walked over, looked at Wu Liuqi and said, "Come back, regain control of the Demon Blade, and you will still be the world's most powerful Shadow Assassin!"

"...Master."

Frowning at the other person, Wu Liuqi did not sheath his Demon Blade Thousand Blades, but said solemnly, "The me who only helped you kill people is already dead."

After a moment of silence, Shadow Hand slowly raised his head. "Is that so?"

His black hair was loose, and his chin was covered with needle-like whiskers.

Its eyes were bloodshot, and its body shimmered with a metallic golden luster, making it extremely terrifying.

"Since that's the case, then I'll kill you with my own hands!"

call!

Without using any extra martial arts moves, he charged straight at Wu Liuqi.

His speed was extremely fast, and with his movements, a powerful fist aura that was almost visible to the naked eye appeared!

Danger! Don't try to take this attack head-on!

Whether it was instinct or vague memories, they were all reminding him that he couldn't take the opponent's attack head-on!

Therefore, Wu Liuqi instinctively chose to dodge.

However, almost at the same moment he dodged, his feet suddenly sank, and his body felt heavy.

"?!"

In that instant of hesitation, the opponent's fist was already upon them!

Can't hide!

He raised his long sword to parry.

when!

Can't stop!

As the force was transmitted to his body, Wu Liuqi had already mobilized all his muscles to dissipate the force.

Boom! Boom!

The ground beneath my feet collapsed, revealing a dense network of spiderweb-like cracks, and a clearly visible footprint appeared.

"Oh?"

The Hand of Shadows was somewhat surprised. "It seems you have indeed learned a lot in the past two years, but all your skills were taught to you by me! No one knows you better than me. You have no chance of winning!"

Ka!

A sudden burst of internal force caused Qi to feel as if his body had been squeezed by a hydraulic press, and his bones groaned in agony from the unbearable pressure!

He dodged back, and when he reappeared, his face was several shades paler.

next moment……

"puff!"

His eyes turned bloodshot, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Wu Liuqi collapsed to his knees, exhausted.

"Ah Qi!"

Watching this scene, the Shadow Hand walked step by step towards Wu Liuqi and continued, "Qi, come back. I can teach you more martial arts. You are a more suitable leader than Ghost! Let's work together to make the Shadow Organization even stronger!"

"do not come!"

Suddenly, Wu Liuqi spoke in a hoarse voice, stopping Mei Hua Thirteen and Ji Da Bao, who were about to make a move.

As the Shadow Hand approached, his gaze became extremely solemn, but he still pretended to be relaxed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm no longer an assassin, and I've found that I prefer cutting hair to being an assassin."

"...?"

Unaware of the reason, Shadow Hand still sensed that he no longer wanted to be an assassin.

He shook his head and raised one hand.

Wu Liuqi tried to stall for time, but suddenly realized that the Demon Blade had fallen into the opponent's hands, and was immediately shocked!

It wasn't because the other party was holding the demonic blade, but because the other party directly shattered the demonic blade into countless fragments.

Thousand Blades Break!

Whoosh whoosh!

Countless fragments spun wildly, surrounding Wu Liuqi.

How could this be?!

Without much time to think, Wu Liuqi swallowed a pill to barely stabilize his injuries and began to fight back against his opponent.

"Ok?"

The Hand of Shadows continued to strike, each move ruthless and employing a wide variety of methods!

Swordsmanship, fist techniques, body movements...

He can even control objects with his qi and wield the Demon Blade Thousand Blades!

These various tactics once made Wu Liuqi feel desperate, as he could only defend himself but had no power to fight back.

"I may not be the strongest, but I have mastered nearly a hundred martial arts techniques. It is impossible for anyone in the entire Xuanwu Kingdom to have mastered more martial arts techniques than me."

The Shadow Hand continued to put pressure on Wu Liuqi, "Qi, your talent is indeed outstanding, but your foundation is far inferior to mine. You have no chance of winning."

As he spoke, he actually grabbed Wu Liuqi's knife with his bare hands!

His body shone with a metallic luster, and Wu Liuqi was actually flung into the air by the knife!

Indestructible?!

The feeling was indeed very similar, but Wu Liuqi didn't have much time to think. With nowhere to gain leverage in mid-air, he grabbed the hilt of his knife and, as he spun around, stepped on the fist of the Shadow Hand to dodge the opponent's attack.

hum!

While suspended in mid-air, he raised his hand and summoned his scissors, which transformed into a disc and slashed at the back of the Shadow Hand.

The result was a shower of sparks!

He casually tossed the original Nine's sword to the ground, his brow furrowing slightly, before sticking the Demon Blade Thousand Blades aside.

Even though he had a way to control the demonic blade, the speed at which the demonic blade absorbed true energy still exceeded his expectations.

Qi's tenacity was also beyond his expectations.

We can't keep dragging this out any longer.

His arms suddenly sank, and then the metallic luster on his body became more and more obvious, turning directly into silver-white. He raised his hand and grabbed the scissors that Wu Liuqi had gathered true energy for.

Zheng!

"Um!?"

Wu Liuqi was shocked. His current skill and Qi control level were not on the same level as before. Qin Ming had personally instructed him, and even for a master of the Shadow Assassin level, it was not something that could be easily countered.

Thinking of what the other party had said earlier, Wu Liuqi's expression turned serious.

Hundreds of martial arts techniques!

They may not all reach mastery, but they are still quite formidable.
