Chapter 48: The awareness a subordinate should have!

This octogenarian is an eighth-rank, level-five assassin in an imperial demon-hunting group.

Because of this competition, the Temple Alliance didn’t know whether Bai Chen would have any conspiracy, so naturally they didn’t dare to bring out all the core strength of the younger generation.

Moreover, Bai Chen’s rules only mentioned that the winner would be eligible to enter the fantasy paradise, but did not say that the qualification could not be transferred to other people.

After the decision of the Temple Alliance, twenty people were selected from the veteran king-level and emperor-level demon hunting groups to participate in this competition based on the strength of the demon representatives on Bai Chen’s side.

After hearing Lightning’s bragging, the eighth-rank assassin snorted coldly. He just looked old, but that didn’t mean he was no longer strong.

In an instant, a terrifying murderous intent burst out from the old man, and that murderous intent condensed into substance almost in an instant.

The fact that he was able to condense murderous intent into substance shows how many life-and-death battles this assassin had experienced.

Only by killing enough people can the murderous intent accumulate and eventually condense into substantial murderous intent.

Lightning felt the murderous intent coming towards him, but he just stared at the old man coldly, as if waiting for something, without any sign of making a move.

Just because Lightning doesn’t take action doesn’t mean that the old man, as an assassin, won’t take action.

The moment the murderous intent completely enveloped the lightning, the old man’s figure disappeared out of thin air.

This is an essential skill for high-level assassins, which can completely hide their body.

Without a doubt, this is the most common way of attack for assassins, which is to hide their bodies and then attack unexpectedly in order to achieve the highest benefits.

However, at this moment, lightning also moved, and terrifying thunder and lightning came from the clouds and fell heavily on him.

In an instant, his body was like an electromagnetic field, and the lightning swept across the entire battlefield with his body as the center.

“not good!”

The assassin who was hiding in secret saw this situation and realized that Lightning was trying to lock his position by covering the entire competition venue with thunder and lightning.

Not only that, when the thunder and lightning were about to reach him, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

Because he discovered that the power of those lightnings had reached the eighth level or even higher.

Not only him, but the top leaders of the Temple Alliance judged Lightning’s strength the moment they saw him take action, which was the peak of the eighth level!
When reaching the eighth and ninth levels, the gap between each level is very huge, and the difference in spiritual power between each level is not a little bit.

Those demons who were familiar with lightning all showed surprise.

Lightning is only the heir of the tenth demon god Pal. When he entered the Dream Paradise, his strength was relatively behind among the other heirs.

But in just over a year, Lightning’s strength has actually surpassed that of some of them.

Back to the battlefield.

When thunder and lightning filled the entire place, Lightning looked into the void with a sneer on his face.

“Got you!”

“Oh no! We’ve been discovered!” Sheng Yue had been observing the situation on the competition field. As a ninth-level knight, he saw more than others.

The moment Lightning sensed the old man’s figure, Shengyue sensed it.

The disparity in strength has already determined the outcome of this game.

Therefore, before this competition began, the top leaders of the Temple Alliance emphasized this to the twenty representatives several times.

During the game, if you can win, fight to the death, and if you can fight, fight as hard as you can. But if there is a huge disparity in strength, don’t have any concerns and admit defeat at the first opportunity.

Winning the game is secondary, life is the most important!
“Wait…I admit…”

However, just as the old man was about to admit defeat, Lightning suddenly burst out at an extreme speed, transformed into a bolt of lightning and instantly appeared in front of the old man. He raised his hand and grabbed the old man’s neck, causing his words to get stuck in his throat before he could finish speaking.

“Stop, he’s already given up!” Sheng Yue roared angrily, and turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the competition field.

The terrifying pressure of the ninth-level assassin suddenly rushed towards Lightning, and Lightning was instantly terrified.

There is still a big gap between the eighth level and the ninth level, but Lightning showed no signs of retreating and still tightly pinched the old man’s neck. At the same time, the terrifying power of thunder and lightning swept through the old man’s body.

“presumptuous.”

At the moment when Shengyue made his move, a cold voice rang out.

At the same time, Bai Chen swung out with a sword, and the terrifying sword intent went straight to Shengyue.

As soon as Sheng Yue flew out of the Zhennan Pass city wall, he was forced to defend himself by the powerful sword.

boom–

The dagger in Shengyue’s hand hit the sword energy hard.

It was originally thought that Sheng Yue, a ninth-rank warrior, would be able to block Bai Chen’s sword. However, what the top leaders of the Temple Alliance did not expect was that the terrifying sword intent actually swept across the entire Zhennan Pass.

Seeing this, the shadow of the Divine Throne appeared behind Yang Haohan. A golden light shot up into the sky and landed outside Zhennan Pass, forming a barrier that blocked the aftermath of Bai Chen’s sword.

Sheng Yue himself was cut back by the sword.

The lightning seemed to have received some kind of signal. Almost at the moment when Holy Moon was cut back, countless lightning bolts pierced through the old man’s body.

Only a cracking sound was heard echoing in the competition venue, and the old man’s neck was broken by lightning.

Bai Chen sat up straight, looking down at the powerful humans on Zhennan Pass, and said coldly:

“Do you need me to reiterate the rules?”

“If you continue to violate the rules of the competition, it won’t be as simple as one sword…”

The top leaders of the Temple Alliance all showed anger, but they were in the wrong and no one refuted Bai Chen.

Because the rules are very clear, all you have to do is admit defeat, but you don’t even have the time to admit defeat, so you can only blame your own lack of strength, and you’re dead if you die.

Yang Haohan took a deep breath, looked at Sheng Yue whose eyes were full of murderous intent, and said helplessly:
“It’s a matter of urgency. Before the seniors send back the news, we must keep Bai Chen stable.”

Shengyue tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. He just didn’t understand why it was always the Assassin’s Templar who got hurt?
Lightning looked at the human warriors at Zhennan Pass who dared to be angry but not to speak out, and he admired Bai Chen even more.

In fact, the assassin had the chance to admit defeat, but Lightning still tried his best to shut him up as quickly as possible.

That useless heir almost made Bai Chen lose face.

Then Bai Chen asked him to take action, so he naturally had to save face for Bai Chen.

This is a manifestation of Bai Chen’s trust in him!
Although Bai Chen didn’t say anything from beginning to end, when Sheng Yue attacked, if Bai Chen didn’t stop him, Lightning would most likely not be able to withstand Sheng Yue’s attack due to the huge consumption.

But he still chose to leave his fate to Bai Chen, completely ignoring Sheng Yue, and trying his best to suppress the assassin and prevent him from finishing his unfinished words.

The moment Bai Chen swung out the sword, he broke the assassin’s neck without any hesitation.

This is the awareness that a subordinate should have!
