The Magician of Cultivation

Xiao Ying slowly retreated and disappeared into the dark space.

"Humph, now that you're here, just stay."

Simingshuo snorted coldly, flipped his hand, and a crystal clear crystal ball appeared in his palm.

He raised his hand and threw the crystal ball into the air, embedding it on the top of the hall.

The crystal ball was obviously an alchemical treasure of the confinement type. It emitted a circle of milky white light that completely isolated the aura of the hall.

He did this not only to prevent Xiao Ying, who had escaped into the dark space, from leaking information, but also to prevent the atmosphere of the fighting here from spreading and causing unnecessary trouble.

After doing all this, Simingshuo leisurely waved the staff in his hand, and a blazing fireball shot out.

slap~

The dark space was broken, but Xiao Ying had already moved away one step ahead.

"Interesting," Si Mingshuo's eyes lit up and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

Seeing that Prince Mingxin was about to attack, he quickly said with a smile: "He is just a little thief, there is no need for you to take action, Your Majesty, I will deal with him."

Siming Shuo waved the staff in his hand, continuously casting fireballs to shatter the dark spaces.

Xiao Ying's eyes were cold as he kept jumping in the dark space. He was very proficient in using the first-level fighting skill of 'Stealth'.

However, Xiao Ying also understood that under the great magician's mental scan, it would be extremely difficult for him to escape silently.

"Since I can't get away, I can only kill you first."

Xiao Ying's fighting spirit surged, and he said in a low voice: "Secret Technique: Shadow Step."

shuh~

He instantly appeared behind Simingshuo, and two daggers shining with cold light stabbed straight into the back of his neck.

'Shadow Step' is not a secret skill created by Xiao Ying alone. In fact, any assassin who has reached the level of Grand Martial Master can perform it.

It is a combination of the second-level fighting skill 'Shadow Dagger Dance' and the fourth-level fighting skill 'Dash', and can instantly appear behind the target and launch a dagger attack.

However, Siming Shuo's reaction was extremely quick, as if he had eyes on his back. He drifted forward several feet, and at the same time, he swung his staff backhand and shot a musket at Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying tapped the side of the fireball with his dagger, easily breaking it into sparks all over the sky. Then he flashed and disappeared into the darkness again.

Simingshuo quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something, and the air around him quickly became hot.

"Firestorm!"

Following Simingshuo's low shout, a huge hexagram formation appeared on the ground of the hall.

The ground cracked rapidly, as if magma was flowing slowly, and the scorching heat caused the air to distort slightly.

Except for the fire element, all other attribute elements in the hall were quickly expelled, and the dark space was shattered.

"See how you can hide." Si Mingshuo showed a smug look on his face.

Xiao Ying was in a desperate situation but he was not panicked at all. He knew very well that the way of an assassin lies in staying calm.

Just as the flames were about to engulf the last piece of dark space where he was, he gritted his teeth and forced his fighting spirit to break through his own limits.

In an instant, a layer of dark light appeared on his body, which actually stabilized the dark space that was about to dissipate.

Siming Shuo frowned slightly when he saw this. He didn't expect that the other party had such a method.

Xiao Ying took this opportunity to take out a black rune from his arms. This was a life-saving item he obtained by chance.

He just pressed the rune under his feet, and the rune instantly released a powerful force, creating a tiny space crack on the ground.

Xiao Ying entered the crack without hesitation.

Siming Shuo found something wrong and hurriedly used magic to attack the crack, but it was too late, Xiao Ying had disappeared without a trace.

Siming Shuo stamped his feet in anger, secretly regretting his carelessness.

Xiao Ying came to a remote place through the temporary passage. He was breathing heavily, knowing that although he had escaped by luck this time, he must work harder to improve his strength in the future, otherwise he would not be so lucky next time when facing Si Mingshuo.
