King of Assassins-Chapter 905 - 642: True Colors of a Hero (Part 3)

Shui Yunling took the opportunity to apply for the usage rights of the Phantom Cloak. The Phantom Cloak is a powerful magical artifact of the Shui Family stored in cyberspace, and anyone with usage rights can temporarily wield it.

The black Phantom Cloak settled on Shui Yunling's back, fluttering without wind. Armed with the Phantom Cloak, Shui Yunling became elusive, hard to distinguish between real and illusion.

According to the pre-arranged plan, obtaining the Phantom Cloak meant she could leave the battlefield immediately.

The issue was that Gao Xuan had already fled; leaving now would render her actions pointless.

Having killed a bunch of Paladins, headquarters would surely demand accountability. Though it wouldn't affect her much, it was ultimately embarrassing.

More importantly, Shui Yunling grew intensely interested in the Deep Sea's Divine Crystal.

This Evil God clearly mastered two kinds of special Divine Powers: Water Element and Divine Soul Type. Securing the Divine Crystal of the Evil God could potentially allow her to swallow it whole.

Even if not completely feasible, she could still gain the majority of the Divine Crystal's benefits.

Shui Yunling used her highest privilege to apply for the Profound Nether Sword.

The Profound Nether Sword is a Second-Grade Spiritual Artifact, which at this grade can be considered a Divine Artifact.

Given Shui Yunling's capabilities, even with cyberspace assistance, she could only unleash one strike. But she wanted to try.

A four-foot-long deep blue longsword descended from a pillar of light.

Shui Yunling reached out to grasp the deep blue longsword, feeling as if she had plunged into an Ice Sea, cold permeating her Divine Soul and body.

The Profound Nether Sword was too formidable; merely the fluctuation of its Sword Qi made it hard for her to withstand.

Even across the light pillar, the Evil God Deep Sea sensed the profound and powerful aura of the Profound Nether Sword.

Deep Sea was unsure what it was, but instinctively knew it was dangerous, retracting all its tentacles to wrap itself tightly.

Yuan Ping, Yuan Tiejiang, and other Paladins sighed in relief; without the terrifying tentacles waving in the air, they hurriedly scattered and fled.

They could clearly see Shui Yunling was about to unleash some significant move.

Whether it could kill Deep Sea or not, the aftermath of such powerful forces clashing was enough to kill them. Now, they must run as far as they can.

Shui Yulan looked at Shui Yunling with a worried face; this was not according to the original plan.

At this point, it's too late for any advice. All she can do is hope Shui Yunling truly manages to slay the enemy with one strike.

Shui Yunling adjusted her breath, using her Divine Power Rune Seed to connect with the Profound Nether Sword, establishing a resonance between person and sword.

The momentary communication and resonance allowed Shui Yunling to grasp a fraction of the Profound Nether Sword Intent.

At this moment, she seemed to become the master of the Sea of Source Power, with the boundless Source Power operating according to her will.

The whole world had become extremely simple; most lives seemed meaningless. Like Yuan Ping and Yuan Tiejiang, these Foundation Establishment Warriors appeared as mere fireflies to her — though they flicker, they're weak and insignificant, not worth mentioning.

Only Deep Sea, hidden in the ocean's depths, with its immense, grim Divine Soul flashing a dark green light. Even under the Profound Nether Sword, Deep Sea's Divine Soul seemed somewhat illusory.

At most, it's a Third Grade!

Shui Yunling immediately made her judgment and felt even more confident. No matter how accumulated the Evil God's power is, without much wisdom, it's vulnerable under the Profound Nether Sword.

Unexpectedly, in this state, she actually saw Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan's Divine Soul was also a ball of Spiritual Light, evidently weaker than Yuan Ping and Yuan Tiejiang. Yet, his Divine Soul Spiritual Light was as pure as a mirror, stronger than those like Yuan Ping and Yuan Tiejiang.

Compared to her, Gao Xuan's Divine Soul seemed even purer.

Shui Yunling suddenly realized why Gao Xuan could sense the Evil God's location; it was because his Divine Soul was special. What a talent indeed.

However, this person doesn't know when to advance or retreat, deserves to die.

Shui Yunling, holding the Profound Nether Sword, felt a strong sense of control over everything.

Now to kill Gao Xuan would be just a sword's slash away.

Shui Yunling felt a trace of killing intent but immediately suppressed the impulse. Compared to the Evil God Deep Sea, Gao Xuan was insignificant.

Once Deep Sea is dealt with, she could handle Gao Xuan in any manner.

Shui Yunling focused on Sword Control, raising the Profound Nether Sword high, aiming to strike at the Evil God Deep Sea.

The Sword Light on the Profound Nether Sword surged, transforming into a massive, unmatched deep blue Light Saber that slashed down.

The sea pointed at by the deep blue Light Saber silently split open with a massive fissure, revealing Deep Sea hidden in the ocean's depths.

Deep Sea's true form was that of a giant octopus, with dozens of tentacles stretching tens of thousands of meters long. Its enormous, smooth black head stood taller than a mountain.

When its true form was fully revealed, humans appeared as tiny as dust before it.

Seeing Deep Sea's true form, many Paladins frantically fleeing were utterly shocked.

Such a colossal Evil God was indeed rare in Positive Cosmos Space.

However, the sword transformed by the Profound Nether Sword had an even more impressive presence. The grand Sword Light seemed to pierce the sky, and where the Sword Light pointed, the ocean split open.

Merely witnessing that magnificent Sword Light, everyone felt the Evil God was certainly dead.

Deep Sea also felt something amiss, rolling its many tentacles into layers to cover its head, while simultaneously issuing a desperate cry on a Divine Soul level.

The Divine Soul assault transformed into tens of thousands of dark green long arrows, shooting toward Shui Yunling.

Shui Yunling's lips curled into a cold smile, she felt assured of victory now.

The Evil God's resistance was clumsy and weak, unable to withstand her Profound Nether Sword.

The deep blue Sword Light slashed down, and the ten thousand dark green long arrows instantly vanished. The deep blue Sword Light encountered no resistance, directly striking the Evil God.

The Evil God's tentacles, curled into a shield, shattered upon contact with the deep blue Sword Light. The Sword Light instantly sliced into the deep blue head.

The massive, mountain-like smooth black head silently split apart; its colossal body followed suit, cleanly cutting into two halves.

Deep Sea's Divine Soul was split in two by this single slash; its Divine Soul Power, though abundant, stood no chance against the Profound Nether Sword.

In the final moments of Deep Sea's Divine Soul collapse, it emitted an unwilling roar. The Divine Soul impact transformed into sharp needles, piercing toward Shui Yunling.

Unable to control the Profound Nether Sword anymore, Shui Yunling activated the Phantom Cloak.

The Phantom Cloak could freely transition between illusion and reality; the Evil God's dying strike couldn't harm her.

Her Divine Soul Power shifted, about to activate the Phantom Cloak when an indescribable Sword Intent lightly pricked her Divine Soul.

Where this Sword Intent came from is unknown, its transformation exceedingly mysterious. While its damage wasn't extensive, it greatly impacted Shui Yunling as she was transitioning power.

She slowed down in wielding the Phantom Cloak, and Deep Sea's dying Divine Soul Impact had already arrived.

Shui Yunling hesitated to transform into a black phantom, while the green Divine Soul Needles forcefully penetrated the Jade Water Armor's Black Tiger and struck Shui Yunling's Divine Soul.

Her Divine Soul quickly turned dark green, with the core Divine Power Rune Seed rapidly withering and decaying.

Shui Yunling looked somewhat bewildered toward Shui Yulan nearby, baffled at what had transpired; she clearly held the upper hand, why did she lose…

Who plotted against her, with such insidious, elusive means that she couldn't detect who made the move?

"Could it be the Black Tiger…"

Shui Yunling's only suspect was the Black Tiger, but how could the opponent possess such wondrous Sword Intent?

She had many doubts and many uncertainties. Yet, the Evil God Deep Sea's Divine Soul attack was extraordinarily vicious; even the Jade Water Armor couldn't block it, and her Divine Soul couldn't withstand it.

Without a chance to utter a word, Shui Yunling dissolved into a cluster of green light.

The unpiloted Jade Water Armor fell from the sky, while the Profound Nether Sword and Phantom Cloak, shining with Spiritual Light, returned to cyberspace.

Shui Yulan was stunned; was Shui Yunling really dead already? Things just got complicated…

Amid her shock, the dying Deep Sea uttered another low growl, its split Divine Soul shockingly reuniting.

Even its split vast body writhed to regenerate.

Huge tentacles lashed out like whips as Shui Yulan sensed danger and attempted to avoid them. Her Divine Soul inevitably faced the Deep Sea's Power Impact, slowing her movement.

Then, Shui Yulan exploded into a blood mist under the tentacles' assault.

The dying Deep Sea, its power grew even more violent. Two other Paladins were killed by Deep Sea simultaneously.

Yuan Ping and Yuan Tiejiang and the remaining Paladins felt utter despair; injured Evil God lives, and their demise seemed inevitable!

At this moment, a deep blue bolt of lightning flashed from afar, showering light on Gao Xuan.

Everyone was surprised; Gao Xuan had escaped, why did he return?

The communication channel echoed Gao Xuan's voice: "I'll try to hold it off, you guys go..."

The crowd felt mixed emotions.

It turned out Gao Xuan returned to save them; his bravery and righteousness were moving.

It's in crucial moments that a hero shows their true colors!
