Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 485: Chapter 481: The Mysterious Organization ”Other Shore

”So what if you’re on the Hidden Dragon List? Die!”

Looking at that black shadow, a cruel glee flashed in the eyes of the youth in black. ”I’ve succeeded in so many assassinations in the past, all thanks to this Shadow Transformation Technique. Who would ever think I could use a shadow to kill someone?!”

The Shadow Transformation Technique was the ultimate skill of the Shadow Escape Skill he cultivated.

Once this move was mastered, he could separate his shadow from his body. For the span of three breaths, the shadow could move and act like a person.

Three breaths may be an incredibly short time, but for an assassin, it was more than enough.

An assassin kills in an instant!

And this method of using a shadow to kill was practically impossible to defend against.

After all, who can see a shadow at night?

This youth in black appeared to be fleeing, but in reality, it was a feint. He executed the Shadow Transformation Technique, using his shadow to assassinate Ning Jiang. This was his true goal!

”Before you die, I’ll let you know that my name is—”

”I don’t need to know a dead man’s name.”

Ning Jiang’s cold voice cut the youth short. The assassin’s attack landed on him, but his body didn’t bleed. Instead, it dissolved into a ball of lightning and vanished with a BANG.

Not far away, his figure reappeared.

This was the Nine Tribulations Thunder Illusion Body!

Each stage of the Nine Tribulations Celestial Thunder Body allowed one to master a Martial Art, and this Nine Tribulations Thunder Illusion Body was the Martial Art one gained upon reaching the Perfection stage.

This Martial Art could create a Thunder Clone, which was more than ten times more profound than the black-clad youth’s Shadow Transformation Skill.

This was because the Thunder Clone was indistinguishable from a real person, perfectly capable of fooling anyone.

Ning Jiang threw a backhand punch, directly shattering the youth’s shadow.

”You!”

The black-clad youth’s pupils contracted in disbelief.

”You think you can kill me?”

After destroying the shadow with a single punch, Ning Jiang’s figure flickered. He strode on thunder and instantly appeared before the youth in black.

BOOM!

He threw another tyrannical punch. The terrifying Fist Force enveloped the youth, leaving him no room to escape.

”Damn it! Don’t look down on me! You’re only in the Immortal Realm. On the entire Hidden Dragon List, your Cultivation is the weakest! If I want to leave, not even someone at the Earth Martial Realm Middle Stage could stop me, let alone you!”

The youth in black roared, throwing a punch of his own.

BAM.

Their fists slammed into each other, and a shockwave kicked up the sand beneath their feet, blowing it in all directions.

”How is this possible?”

Horror filled the youth’s eyes. He felt an irresistible Fist Force rush toward him. In an instant, his entire arm dissolved into a bloody mist. He was completely outmatched!

He let out a wail and retreated frantically.

Pushing his Shadow Escape Skill to its absolute limit, he moved like a shadow.

However, Ning Jiang was faster. Those who cultivate Thunder Power have a natural advantage in speed.

SWOOSH!

In just a few steps, Ning Jiang caught up to the youth and threw another vicious punch.

”No!”

The youth roared. As Ning Jiang’s fist descended, his body was caught by a massive Devouring Power, rendering him completely immobile.

This was the Power of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Skill.

The punch landed on the youth’s body without any suspense. His body, as fragile as tofu, exploded into a mist of blood with a BANG.

Only a Primordial Spirit remained!

”AHH!”

A miserable scream.

Before Ning Jiang could do anything to the Primordial Spirit, it burst into eerie green Flame and was reduced to nothing in the blink of an eye.

”Hmph. Just as I thought.”

Ning Jiang snorted coldly. He knew that even if he had spared the man’s Primordial Spirit, it would have been useless. There had to be a powerful figure behind an assassin like this, and they would never allow their secrets to be exposed.

”Brother Ning, are you alright?”

Chu Xiu’Er ran over, her face pale. She had been quite frightened just now.

”I’m fine, but this person certainly ruined the mood tonight.” Ning Jiang shook his head.

BOOM!

Just then, a vast presence descended, and a figure appeared.

It was the Meteor King, Meng Haoran.

He was stationed on Meteor Island, and his Divine Thought would scan the island every so often. He had just discovered the battle here and rushed over.

”As expected, you’ve been targeted.”

Meng Haoran’s expression was grave. ”Let’s go back and talk,” he said.

”Alright.”

Ning Jiang nodded. There were too many eyes and ears here; it was not a good place to talk.

A short while later, the three of them returned to the Meng Family residence.

After Chu Xiu’Er left, Meng Haoran said, ”I didn’t expect them to make a move on you so soon after you got on the Hidden Dragon List.”

”What power do these assassins belong to?” Ning Jiang asked. ’An organization that chooses geniuses from the Hidden Dragon List as its hunting targets must be anything but ordinary,’ he mused.

”The Other Shore!”

Meng Haoran slowly uttered three words.

”Oh? I’d like to hear more.”

”The Other Shore is a highly mysterious organization that has always hidden in the shadows. Its members share one distinguishing feature: their clothes are all marked with the emblem of the Other Shore Flower. No one knows their true identities. They have no names, only code names!”

Meng Haoran’s voice was grave. ”This organization’s members are spread across the Eight Great Seas, carrying out all kinds of assassinations. An unknown number of experts have died at their hands.”

”The Other Shore’s most sensational assassination in the East Sea was that of a Vice Palace Master of the Dragon God Celestial Palace. That Vice Palace Master was the Undying Celestial King’s right-hand man, with strength at the Seven-Stars level. To think he was killed... It’s truly terrifying!”

Meng Haoran’s tone was somber.

There are only a few Seven-Stars Kings in the entire East Sea. With the combat power of a Seven-Stars King, even an Eight-Stars King would find it difficult to kill them.

Because if a Seven-Stars King can’t win, they can just flee.

And the Vice Palace Master of the Dragon God Celestial Palace was a Top Level figure among Seven-Stars Kings, yet he was killed by this organization called ”the Other Shore.”

”With the strength of the Dragon God Celestial Palace’s Vice Palace Master, it would take at least three or four Eight-Stars Kings working together and setting up an Array to even have a chance of killing him. The power of this Other Shore organization is simply awe-inspiring!”

Meng Haoran exclaimed, extremely wary of the Other Shore.

”However, that incident also provoked the fury of the Undying Celestial King. It’s said that the Undying Celestial King took action personally, hunted down several Celestial Martial Realm members of the Other Shore, and killed more than ten Kings in a row, among whom was even an Eight-Stars King who fell!”

”After that, the Other Shore reined itself in and didn’t dare to be so arrogant anymore. But they’ve continued to target and assassinate the geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List. This time you were targeted, and luckily only one person came after you. If one of their Kings had made a move, your chances of survival would have been slim.”

Meng Haoran lamented.

”Hmph. If the Kings of the Other Shore aren’t afraid to die, they’re welcome to try.”

Just then, a voice descended from the sky.
