Shen Han quietly remained in the Dimensional Space, watching the scattered assassin group.
The two leaders were overflowing with Killing Intent, both Peak Martial Artists, clearly the core of this team, and the strength of the other assassins was not to be underestimated, with the lowest cultivation also above the third stage of Martial Spirit.
Shen Han knew that confronting these people head-on was unrealistic; he could only outsmart them.
He silently emerged from the Dimensional Space, his figure like a shadow blending into the darkness of the forest. With the help of his Dark Element Special Ability, his Aura was suppressed to the extreme, and he quickly circled to the flank of the assassin group, waiting for the right moment.
Just as an assassin was patrolling alone under a tree, Shen Han suddenly struck, a Netherworld Pierce silently blasting towards the back of the opponent's heart.
The man fell unconscious before he could even make a sound. Shen Han quickly reined in his Aura, once again concealing himself in the Dimensional Space.
Through this method, Shen Han eliminated three assassins.
Finally, the assassin leader realized something was wrong; the Aura of his companions was diminishing, and a faint smell of blood was drifting over.
"Gather!" By the time all the assassins had converged, they found that only 7 people remained, and their target had still not been discovered.
"What exactly is going on? Is there a fierce beast?" The assassin leader did not point the finger of suspicion at Shen Han; after all, Shen Han was only a Middle Stage Martial Artist, and they did not take him seriously.
"Stay alert!"
Shen Han hid in the shadows of the forest, his expression still grim. He activated his Sniff skill, continuing to monitor the assassins' every move.
"They've already noticed something is off, let's observe for a bit!"
Suddenly, within his sensory range, the target of this mission—a Shadow Leopard—appeared. The assassin group's Mental Energy coverage was clearly not as abnormal as Shen Han's, and they remained completely unaware.
"Good opportunity! Let these assassins help me complete this mission."
Shen Han gradually released his Mental Energy Aura, which only fierce beasts could detect, step by step, guiding the Shadow Leopard towards the assassin group. At this moment, the assassin group was still completely oblivious.
Suddenly, the Shadow Leopard discovered the assassin group invading its territory and furiously launched an attack.
The members of the assassin group, upon discovering the sudden attack of the Shadow Leopard, immediately fell into disarray. Several assassins with lower cultivation didn't even have time to react before they were swiftly torn apart and killed by the Shadow Leopard. Accompanied by painful screams, a crimson splash of blood splattered on the trees and ground, and the air was filled with a strong scent of blood.
Seeing this, the leading commander gritted his teeth and roared, "Damn it! What are you standing there for? All of you, attack! Kill it!" As he spoke, he swiftly struck, a golden light condensing into substance in his palm, heavily striking the Shadow Leopard.
The attack brought a fierce gust of wind, but the Shadow Leopard's figure was as swift as the wind, easily dodging the attack with a single leap.
"Find an opportunity, and attack it together!" Another assassin quickly commanded, attempting to form a pincer attack. However, the Shadow Leopard's agility far exceeded their imagination; each attack was as swift as a ghost, almost impossible to grasp. The assassins' flashing blades and swords flickered in the dark night but always hit nothing, instead, the Shadow Leopard repeatedly found their weaknesses, and screams rose and fell.
Just then, Shen Han silently used Space Teleportation from the shadows to appear behind one of the leaders. He condensed a Netherworld Pierce, his gaze as sharp as a knife, and swiftly struck directly at the back of the opponent's heart.
The leader sensed a slight anomaly, sharply turned around, and dodged the vital point, but the Netherworld Pierce still left a deep gash on his chest, blood gushing out. The leader grunted, his gaze suddenly turning sinister, filled with rage. He countered with a punch, his fist wind like thunder, striking towards Shen Han.
Shen Han dodged while contemplating a countermeasure. Among the assassin group, the remaining assassins had suffered heavy casualties, with only the two leaders barely holding on.
At this moment, the Shadow Leopard's Aura was even stronger, its dark pupils revealing a sharp Killing Intent, like a keen blade, pressing directly towards the two.
"Roar—!" The Shadow Leopard roared and pounced on one of the leaders.
That leader forcibly gathered his Qi and struck a punch, forcing the Shadow Leopard back half a step.
Just then, Shen Han seized the opportunity to flash forward, Lightning Element light condensing in his palm, striking directly at the opponent's chest. The leader's face changed drastically; he dodged in a hurry but was still shaken by the Lightning Element power, his body retreating slightly.
"You brat, you're looking for death!" The leader roared, suddenly gathering his Qi, erupting with a strong golden light, and the surrounding air seemed to be torn apart. His punch, carrying the force of thunder, struck towards Shen Han.
However, at this very moment, the Shadow Leopard used Space Teleportation to appear beside the leader and pounced again, its fangs piercing the leader's shoulder, violently flinging him aside.
The leader roared in anger, gritted his teeth, and swung his blade at the Shadow Leopard, the long blade cutting out a sharp blade light, carrying a compelling Killing Intent.
The Shadow Leopard was enraged, let out a low growl, teleported behind the leader, and its sharp claws fiercely swiped down, tearing a long bloody gash across his back.
"Damn beast!" The leader endured the intense pain, once again gathering all his strength to fight the Shadow Leopard. He swung his long blade in defense while trying to retreat and create distance. However, the Shadow Leopard's speed did not diminish at all, its fierce claw attacks came one after another, and the leader finally could not sustain himself and fell to the ground.
The Shadow Leopard was also at the end of its rope, covered in blood. The leader's long blade had also pierced the Shadow Leopard's neck.
Shen Han glanced at the fallen leader, his eyes cold, and a Netherworld Pierce directly ended his life.
However, just as he caught his breath, he found that the other leader was still alive, struggling to stand up, his eyes fixed on him, full of venom.
"Shen Han, don't think you can escape!" The leader, dragging his wounded body, staggered to his feet, his eyes flashing with a crazy light.
Shen Han's gaze was solemn, knowing that this battle was unavoidable. He adjusted his breathing, slowly raised his palm, Lightning Element light condensed again, and every nerve in his body was stretched to the limit.
The Aura on the leader's body became incredibly violent as it burned, carrying a disregard for life and death, rushing straight towards Shen Han.
The distance between the two rapidly shortened, and electricity and Killing Intent intertwined in the air.
Shen Han gritted his teeth, simultaneously pushing the powers of Lightning Element and Dark Element to their limits, slamming his palms together, and thrusting them forward with a roar. The electric light suddenly exploded, forming a huge shockwave that met the opponent's attack.
"Boom—!" The violent collision produced a powerful shockwave; trees were torn apart, the ground trembled, and dust rose everywhere.
Shen Han and the leader were both shaken back several steps, their Qi and blood churning within them. Shen Han endured the pain in his body, clenched his fists, and stood firm with difficulty, while the leader was knocked to the ground by this force, blood continuously gushing from his mouth, his eyes gradually dimming.
Shen Han gasped for breath, staring intently at the fallen leader until he confirmed that the opponent had completely lost his life, only then did he let out a sigh of relief.
