Chapter 999: Chapter 1000: The Perfect Assassination! (Part 2)

“Clan Leader, as long as we employ our usual methods, it’s not just two hundred thousand, even two million won’t return once they come.”

An elder of the Black Flood Dragon Clan sneered, “Those humans can never find our lair, no matter how many come, it’s all in vain.”

“Ordinary armies are not worth worrying about, but the Black Armored Cavalry Army is one of the few elite troops of the Sky White Empire, even if by a surprise attack, it may be difficult to kill the opposing commander and create chaos.”

The Black Jiao Demon King indeed had some wisdom. In fact, the reason they could rely on less than forty thousand demon warriors to repeatedly fend off human armies numbering tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands was because they successfully assassinated the opposing commander and high-ranking officers before each battle.

Thus, with the human army’s morale thrown into chaos, naturally, they would break apart.

“Then… should we just let the humans reclaim the Black Water Plain? The Silver Wolf Demon Emperor has given a death order to hold the Black Water Plain and progressively nibble away at the humans’ territory!”

The Black Flood Dragon Clan elder said hatefully.

“Do humans know how to call for reinforcements? Do you think I do not?”

The Black Jiao Demon King snorted lightly, “A few days ago, I had already requested reinforcements from the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor. Calculating the days, roughly in these few days, the reinforcements from the Scaled Demon Clan should be arriving soon.”

“Scaled Demon Clan?”

Upon hearing this, the elders of the Black Flood Dragon Clan’s eyes suddenly sparkled brilliantly.

“Hehe, I’ve heard that the Scaled Demon Clan are all beauties!”

“If our clan members could mate with the Scaled Demon Clan, they might produce even better offspring!”

“Haha, I like these reinforcements very much!”

The Black Jiao Demon King glared, staring at the elders below, and stated coldly, “A bunch of useless guys, when the reinforcements from the Scaled Demon Clan arrive, you all better restrain yourselves. The Scaled Demon Clan isn’t so easy to provoke! If you anger the Scaled Demon Clan, our Black Flood Dragon Clan’s day of extinction won’t be far off!”

“Clan Leader, isn’t it just the Scaled Demon Clan? How great can they be, they’re not even King Beasts!”

“You know nothing! The new queen of the Scaled Demon Clan has already awakened the King Beast bloodline; the Scaled Demon Clan has re-entered the ranks of King Beast clans!”

The Black Jiao Demon King glared at the demons in the hall and spoke coldly, “Remember this, all of you. Though Scaled Demonesses are beautiful and alluring, if you dare to act recklessly, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

“The new Scaled Demon Queen?” A Black Flood Dragon Clan elder frowned slightly and asked seriously, “Who is it?”

The Black Jiao Demon King slowly spoke, “It’s the previous clan leader’s daughter, Hai Lingxiang!”

Originally, when Ling Feng helped Hai Lingxiang obtain the bloodline inheritance of a Frost Snow Silver Fox, Hai Lingxiang’s talent naturally overshadowed a hundred times. (PS: See “Chapter 566: The Most Aggrieved Demon Emperor in History!”)

Not long after coming out of the Demon Emperor Mausoleum, Hai Lingxiang was promoted to the Half-step Demon King level, relying on the Frost Snow Silver Fox’s bloodline inheritance, she even wielded the power to contend against ordinary Demon Kings.

Later, her mother passed the position of clan leader to her, hoping she could lead the clan towards prosperity and growth.

Unfortunately, the Qiongqi Demon Emperor suddenly died, and the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor quickly took over Qiongqi Demon Emperor’s territory. The Scaled Demon Clan could only submit beneath the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor.

Although the Scaled Demon Clan did not advocate waging war against humans, it was the Demon Emperor’s order, they had no choice but to go to the battlefield and joined the war.

“The reinforcements from the Scaled Demon Clan will arrive soon. With the help of the Scaled Demon Clan, the combined strength of both clans will make it absolutely impossible for those humans to reclaim the Black Water Plain, no matter how aggressive they are.”

The Black Jiao Demon King’s eyes sparkled, and after a long while, finally, he slowly said, “Shui Yecha, go select a few of your best subordinates skilled in stealth attacks, and tonight launch an overnight assault on the human barracks. Even if you can’t succeed, create some disturbance to unsettle them before they reach the battlefield!”

“As you command!”

Shui Yecha nodded repeatedly, smiling as he stepped out of the grand hall.

…

Grey Wolf Ridge.

As night deepens, the howling winds among the mountains resemble mournful screams, sending shivers down one’s spine.

Inside the main camp, Ling Feng had already delegated various tasks before returning to his own camp to meditate and rest.

The “Supreme Mysterious Heaven Technique” slowly spun, as the abundant elemental power circulated within his body, this King-level cultivation technique indeed had its exceptional traits.

Suddenly, Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Under his Unlimited Vision, he suddenly discovered three figures steadily approaching the camp where the military commanders were.

The presence of these three figures was exceptionally well concealed. Even under Unlimited Vision, only hazy figures could be seen, continuously darting around in his views.

“They’ve come as expected!”

A subtle smile curved at the corner of Ling Feng’s mouth. This was indeed the routine style of the water-element Demon Clan from Black Water Plain. Every time humans sent out new reinforcements, they would employ all sorts of methods to assassinate the human commanders.

This time, even with the Black Armored Cavalry Army accompanying the troops, these demons still arrived as anticipated.

“Since they’ve come, they don’t need to leave.”

Ling Feng closed his eyes again, neither announcing nor alerting, simply waiting quietly for the assassins to walk into the trap.

For the ordinary people, it might be genuinely difficult to detect these night assassins; unfortunately, they happened to encounter Ling Feng.

Under Unlimited Vision, their movements were completely exposed in his field of view.

The three assassins were evidently targeting him, avoiding assassinating other generals before the successful assassination of the commander to avoid increasing the risk of exposure.

Closer!

Even closer!

Ling Feng could distinctly “see” the three assassins repeatedly avoiding the patroling troops within the camp, breaking through one line of blockade after another silently as they reached outside his camp.

And his guards were surprisingly unaware of it.

This level of stealth was almost on par with the assassins from the Shadow Organization.

Then, Ling Feng “saw” an incredibly astonishing scene; the three assassins directly transformed into a liquid, quietly infiltrating his tent through the seams.

They then, slowly, at an extremely slow pace, approached Ling Feng from three different angles.

The terror of assassins lies in their ability to kill with a single strike.

As long as the prey enters the assassination range, they can erupt with sudden aggression and instantly slay the prey.

Five zhang!

Three zhang!

Two zhang!

One zhang!

The moment all three assassins closed in within one zhang of Ling Feng’s range, they instantly revealed themselves. In a flash, three daggers flickering with ghostly light stabbed ferociously towards Ling Feng’s three vital points from three extremely tricky angles.

It was evident that the daggers were heavily laced with toxins, enough to claim Ling Feng’s life instantly, even if the daggers themselves couldn’t kill him.

You could say it was a perfect assassination technique, but unfortunately, they chose the wrong target.
