Legend of Swordsman - Chapter 1734
Chapter 1734: Coming After Me!
“Retreat!”
The spiritual figure was very determined. He didn’t hit his target and he immediately retreated.
He was a killer hidden in the dark, an assassin. He wasn’t used to fighting head-on.
“Want to run?” There was a billowing murderous intention in Jian Wushuang’s eyes. After the stroke failed to hit, there were immediately two rays of resplendent golden light that burst out.
Hong Jun Golden Swords were like comets. They flew through the void and appeared behind the spiritual figure, then instantly pierced the body of the spiritual figure.
However, it didn’t touch any substantial form when it pierced and the spiritual figure vanished into thin air.
Jian Wushuang looked around him and swept out his soul power but he couldn’t notice anyone.
“Such a brilliant hiding skill and assassination skill!” Jian Wushuang clenched his hand as his face went solemn.
It was obvious that the spiritual figure had been lurking behind him but his soul power didn’t notice him at all. His hiding skill was definitely very impressive.
The assassination skill then really shocked Jian Wushuang.
Ever since his cultivation, he had never seen such a terrifying assassination skill.
Not only did he grasp the perfect timing, but also the dagger… the dagger was too terrifying.
“King of Venomous Worms, luckily you took action in time. Otherwise…” Jian Wushuang had a lingering fear.
He knew clearly that King of Venomous Worms had reminded him just in time and the tentacle that extended behind his back simultaneously was from King of Venomous Worms as well.
If it wasn’t because of the tentacle that delayed for a moment, Jian Wushuang wouldn’t be able to dodge the attack of the dagger in time.
“I just happened to wake up. Luckily, it was in time,” King of Venomous Worms said in Jian Wushuang’s head. He sighed with emotion as he spoke.
The earlier scene had been too dangerous.
If King of Venomous Worms had woken up any later, Jian Wushuang would have died.
“Oh yeah, what was going on earlier? I could tell that he should be an Almighty. Jian Wushuang, since when did you qualify for an Almighty to assassinate you?” King of Venomous Worms asked in surprise.
When King of Venomous Worms had been asleep, Jian Wushuang had broken through and become a Real God in Ancient God Sanctuary.
It wasn’t long since then but when he woke up again, he had seen an Almighty trying to kill Jian Wushuang.
What an honor for an Almighty to assassinate him!
“During the time when you slept, I received some opportunities and my power increased tremendously. Now, I have the fighting power of an Almighty,” Jian Wushuang said.
“Fighting power of an Almighty?” King of Venomous Worms was thrilled in excitement.
“Let’s not talk about this first. My current situation is abnormal,” Jian Wushuang said in a deep voice.
King of Venomous Worms had noticed the surrounding void and the terrifying dark storm. In addition to the ambush by the Almighty earlier, Jian Wushuang was obviously in a bad situation.
“What’s going on?” King of Venomous Worms asked.
“What happened was…” Jian Wushuang briefly told it the ins and outs of the story.
“Previously, I had thought it was only an accident that Lei Chao had gotten trapped in Buddhist Demon Sea. But from what it seems now, I’m afraid that isn’t so,” Jian Wushuang looked solemn.
He wasn’t stupid. On the contrary, he had been through tough experiences and struggled to climb up in the ocean of blood.
When he had found out the news that Lei Chao was trapped in Buddhist Demon Sea, Jian Wushuang had found it strange but he didn’t bother much.
But then, after the assassination, Jian Wushuang finally understood.
He was almost certain that it wasn’t an accident but a strategy, meticulously plotted.
And, the person who framed him definitely wasn’t Lei Chao. He was eighty percent only bait. Their true target was actually… him!
“These people are specially coming after me!” Jian Wushuang clenched his hands.
With such a meticulous plot they could arrange an Almighty for an assassination. On top of that, the Almighty’s assassination skill was so terrifying. It was obvious that he was trying to kill him.
“Jian Wushuang, when I was in a deep sleep, which experts did you offend? The enemy’s stratagy isn’t ordinary,” King of Venomous Worms’ voice grew serious.
“In Eternal Chaotic World, there’s only a great force that crossed paths with me and wanted me dead. It is Soaring Heaven King Palace. However, although Soaring Heaven King Palace is strong, it is impossible for them to be so liberal with their funds, nor is it possible for them to scheme against me in Buddhist Demon Sea. They don’t have the capability,” Jian Wushuang muttered.
Although Soaring Heaven King Palace was strong, they didn’t have that many Almighties. Plus, everyone was aware of the danger in Buddhist Demon Sea. If Soaring Heaven King Palace were to scheme against Jian Wushuang, they wouldn’t opt to within Buddhist Demon Sea.
The risk was too high.
As it wasn’t Soaring Heaven King Palace, the one who had the ability and had the intention to do so would be the hidden force of Eternal Chaotic World.
“Acheron Palace!”
“What happened today is ninety-nine percent likely to be Acheron Palace’s doing.”
Jian Wushuang’s face grew distressed.
Acheron Palace was known for its bad name.
Jian Wushuang harbored scruples about Acheron Palace as well.
Acheron Palace wouldn’t take action hastily. If they did, it would be almost impossible for them to miss the target.
Then, Acheron Palace had launched an attack at him and it had been meticulously planned. They even used Lei Chao as the bait to lure him to Buddhist Demon Sea.
Then, he was already in the trap that Acheron Palace set up. He was in a very bad place.
“King of Venomous Worms, as you completed your transformation and woke up, you should be able to help me, right?” Jian Wushuang asked.
“Of course, a Plenilune’s power is determined by the Ancient God that it lives off. Due to your influence, my change is drastic and my attack power can be put to use as well,” King of Venomous Worms said.
“That’s great,” Jian Wushuang fixed his gaze, “As Acheron Palace took action against me, they definitely did thorough research on me. They definitely know some of my trump cards and they will have prepared accordingly. However, there are some trump cards that I have never shown anyone. These trump cards will be a crucial part of how I can escape this disaster!”
“King of Venomous Worms, you are one of the trump cards I have now too. The two of us should fight against the people from Acheron Palace together.”
“It’s my honor,” King of Venomous Worms replied.
Jian Wushuang took a deep breath and his gaze became sharp.
He knew that he had fallen into the trap that Acheron Palace had plotted against him. As he was already there, it would be impossible for him to return by the same route.
Even if he were to inform Hall Master Yuan and Hall Master Gu Xin about his situation, Hall Master Gu Xin was quite far away from the triangle island that he was on. He couldn’t be there in time to back him up on such short notice.
Hall Master Yuan couldn’t help either.
He had no choice.
He could only fight head-on with the people from Acheron Palace.
He could only rely on himself.
As for if it was life or death, that depended on his capability.
…
“想逃?”剑无双目中涌荡着澎湃的杀意,一剑怒劈不中后,立即有着两道璀璨的金光爆闪而出.
鸿钧金剑犹如彗星般,洞穿虚空,很快便出现在那道幽灵身影之后,且瞬间就将这幽灵身影的身体洞穿.
可洞穿时却并没有触碰到任何的实体,且这道幽灵身影也彻底消失开来.
剑无双目光环顾周围,灵魂之力也疯狂席卷,却已然找不到半点人影.
“好高明的隐匿手段还有暗杀手段!”剑无双紧握着双手,面色却异常凝重.
很明显,刚刚那道幽灵身影老在就潜伏在他身后了,可他的灵魂之力却没有半点察觉,这份隐匿手段已然相当了得.
可接下来那暗杀手段,才是真正令剑无双吓一大跳的.
他修炼至今,还从未见过如此可怕的暗杀手段.
不仅出手时机把握的非常完美,还有那道匕首…那匕首太可怕了.
“蛊王,幸亏有你及时出手,要不然…”剑无双有些心有余悸.
他很清楚,刚刚就是蛊王及时开口提醒了他,同时从他背后冒出的那根触手,也是来自于蛊王.
若非是因为有那触手稍微阻挡了片刻,剑无双根本来不及躲过那匕首的袭杀.
“我也只是刚刚苏醒,还好赶上了.”蛊王的声音在剑无双心头响起,那声音也带着一丝唏嘘.
刚刚那一幕,着实太凶险.
若是蛊王晚苏醒一些,剑无双估计就死了.
“对了,刚刚那人到底怎么回事,我看得出,他应当是一位大能者,剑无双,你什么时候有资格让一位大能者出手暗杀你了?”蛊王惊诧问道.
蛊王当初沉睡时,剑无双还在古神圣地,才刚刚突破真神而已.
到现在过去的时间也不算太久,可他再次苏醒时,看到的却是堂堂一位大能者出手来杀他剑无双.
能够让大能者暗杀,这是何等的荣幸啊?
“你沉睡的这段时间,我得到过一些机缘,实力提升了不少,现在的我,已经有一般大能者战力了.”剑无双说道.
“大能者战力?”蛊王一喜.
“先不说这个了,我现在的处境可非同一般.”剑无双低沉道.
蛊王也察觉到了周围的虚空,那恐怖的黑暗风暴,再加上刚刚那位大能者的偷袭暗杀,剑无双的处境明显很糟糕.
“到底怎么回事?”蛊王沉声问道.
“事情是这样的.”剑无双也将这件事的经过简单叙说了一遍.
“之前我以为就只是因为意外,雷朝才陷入这梵魔海当中的,可现在看来,怕并非如此.”剑无双神色肃然.
他不是傻子,相反他是经过了大风大浪,从血海当中挣扎爬起来的.
之前在得知消息,知道雷朝陷入梵魔海时,剑无双心底就觉得有些奇怪,但也没有过多在意.
可到了现在,遭遇了这次刺杀,剑无双也就明白过来了.
他现在几乎可以断定,这次之事,并非是意外,而是有人精心设计准备的.
且,被设计的人,绝不是雷朝,他八成只是一个诱饵而已,其真正的目的…是他!
“这些人,是专门冲我来的!”剑无双紧握着双手.
如此精心设计,还安排大能者刺杀,且这位大能者的刺杀手段还如此恐怖,明显是要置他于死地.
“剑无双,我沉睡的这段时间,你都招惹了哪些强者?对方这次的算计,可非同一般啊.”蛊王声音也郑重起来.
“在万古混沌世界,与我正面有过碰撞,想要置我于死地的大势力,只有一个,那便是凌霄宝殿,不过凌霄宝殿虽然强,但却也不可能有如此大的手笔,更不可能在梵魔海内算计我,他们还没这个魄力.”剑无双喃喃道.
凌霄宝殿虽然强,可大能者数量也不多,而梵魔海的凶险谁都知道,凌霄宝殿若真要算计剑无双,可不会选择在这梵魔海内.
那样风险实在太大了.
既然不是凌霄宝殿,那有能力,且会这样做的,便只有万古混沌世界的那些阴暗势力了.
“黄泉宫!”
“这次之事,九成九是出自黄泉宫的手笔.”
剑无双面色一沉.
黄泉宫,凶名赫赫.
剑无双对这黄泉宫,也充满着浓浓忌惮.
这黄泉宫,不出手则以,一出手那就几乎没有失手可能的.
而这一次,黄泉宫便对他出手了,且还经过精心设计,特意以雷朝为诱饵,将自己引到这梵魔海来.
现在,他已经完全落入了黄泉宫的陷阱当中,处境可是十分的不妙.
“蛊王,你完成蜕变苏醒过来,现在应当也能帮到我不少吧?”剑无双问道.
“当然,望月的实力是寄生的古神而决定的,受到你的影响,我这次的变化非常之大,且厮杀能力也都可以动用了.”蛊王道.
“那就好.”剑无双目光一凝,”黄泉宫既然对我出手,那势必对我精心研究过,我的一些手段底牌他们肯定都知道,也都会相应的准备,然而有些底牌,我却从来不曾在人面前施展过,这些底牌,便是我能够逃过这一劫的关键!”
“蛊王,你也是我现在拥有的底牌之一,咱们两个就好好跟黄泉宫的人斗上一次.”
“荣幸至极.”蛊王回应道.
剑无双深吸口气,目光已然变得无比锐利起来.
他知道,自己现在已经落入了黄泉宫设计的陷阱当中,已经到了这个份上,想要原路返回离开,那是不可能的.
就算他现在立即将自己的处境传讯告知元殿主还有孤心殿主,可孤心殿主距离他现在的三角形岛屿还颇远,短时间内根本没法赶过来支援他.
元殿主那,那就更帮不上忙了.
没有办法.
他只能跟黄泉宫的人正面碰撞.
一切,只能靠他自己.
至于是生是死,也只能看他自己的能耐.
