The dagger instantly severed Xu Hao's neck!
But the next second, Xu Hao's voice echoed from afar, "Is it fun to chop at my afterimage?"
At the same time, the afterimage disappeared.
The owner of the dagger remained silent, and the dagger quickly blended into the air.
Xu Hao sneered, "Being able to make your body and even your weapon invisible in the air, I think I know who you are."
Still no sound was heard.
Xu Hao wasn't surprised, the other party probably knew that experts can locate by sound, and once you speak, no matter how well you disguise it, your direction can be detected.
Yet, Xu Hao still felt some disdain. The opponent's strength was definitely at the Grandmaster Level, overwhelmingly more powerful than his, yet they still did not dare to confront him directly and only dared to assassinate; no wonder Islanders like to play petty tricks.
"Shadow Faction assassins are rare in the Island Country because it is said that you are a group of traitors. No, to be precise, the ancestor of the Shadow Faction was a traitor. It is said that he killed his own master and also made an enemy of a Sword Dao expert, his elder martial brother, because his master was his elder martial brother's father..."
While continuously dodging, Xu Hao kept sharing these lesser-known secrets, all of which he knew from his inherited memories, supposedly from long ago. Xu Hao found them quite intriguing, so he had learned more about them, not expecting to encounter an expert from the Island Country's Shadow Faction today.
Xu Hao hadn't yet activated the special function of his eyes, so he couldn't see the figure of his opponent.
The opponent seemed to also know that his eyes were special and might see through invisibility, so they didn't give him the time to activate this special ability.
"It is said that that person in the past didn't know Shadow Ninjutsu, but he obtained a strange and beautiful box from a temple, and then he learned Shadow Ninjutsu. However, his master exiled him; later, he built his own forces and taught many disciples to learn Shadow Ninjutsu.
But when he returned, although he was initially on good terms with his master, and his master did not blame him but instead blamed himself, later, he threw out his master's head. What puzzles me is, what exactly did they encounter in that temple?
I haven't been to your Island Country, and there are very few of your Shadow Ninjas. It's rare to meet one, so come on, let's talk about your story?"
Xu Hao kept talking, trying to get the other person to speak, and he was indeed quite curious about the mysteries in the story. Why did that person kill his master?
Unfortunately, the other party remained silent.
Xu Hao said indifferently, "If you won't speak, then I have no interest in playing cat and mouse anymore!"
After saying this, he instantly unleashed a myriad of steel needles!
Pear Flower Rainstorm Needles!
A secret technique from the Tang Sect, passed down for thousands of years, yet Xu Hao had learned it in an exceptionally short time.
This type of carpet indiscriminate attack was the best method to deal with these ninjas; they just used some secret techniques to hide themselves, they hadn't really disappeared into space.
Sure enough, in one area, the steel needles did not go through.
Xu Hao immediately rushed over, intending to kill the opponent with one strike.
But to his surprise, the opponent's speed was also extremely fast, and they blended into the air again in an instant.
Xu Hao quickly searched his mind for information about the Shadow Faction ninjas.
Soon, a phrase caught his eye — Shadow, embrace the shadow!
Xu Hao instantly understood that the shadows were the key!
The reason why Shadow Faction ninjas could become invisible in the air was because of the shadows!
As long as there were shadows, they could hide within them. Love this story? Show your support on *.
Now, Xu Hao immediately began to focus on observing those shadows.
Sure enough, he suddenly noticed that at one moment, the shadow of a big tree seemed to tremble.
There was no wind, and no one was hitting the tree, but its shadow slightly moved.
Xu Hao immediately shot out a steel needle.
The steel needle in that area of mid-air seemed to hit a steel plate and instantly broke.
Xu Hao was overjoyed, his eyes scanned all the larger shadows, and his hands kept throwing steel needles. He had only one goal, to force the opponent to show themselves; otherwise, he would be exposed while the opponent hid, which was too passive.
"Clever boy, to possess such keen observation and hand speed!"
A cold hum, and a figure slowly emerged in the air, as if a person's corpse was rising from the water surface.
There was no fluctuation of Qi Force on his body at all, as if he were a corpse.
But Xu Hao knew that this was because of their unique cultivation method; his strength was definitely of genuine Grandmaster quality!
Xu Hao was not afraid at all, pointing the Fengyi Sword at him, he said coldly, "Today, I intend to advance to Grandmaster. Kameda Juuni is too weak; you, with Grandmaster strength, should just barely suffice as my stepping stone!"
The Shadow Faction assassin instantly felt insulted; he was a bona fide Grandmaster Level Expert, a dominant power anywhere, yet today, he was being looked down upon by a junior!
