Chapter 180 Find Him and Kill Him

Chapter 181 Find him, kill him

In the space in the belly of the mountain, as the golden red scorching sun exploded, Xu Yue's foot did not stomp on the black bird's head. Now was not the time to take action.

A few seconds ago, the black magic sickles on both sides penetrated into Xu Yue's palms inch by inch amid sparks. The silver skin and flesh made the sickle blade's forward speed extremely difficult.

When the tip of the blade was about to penetrate the palm, Xu Yue's right foot had already stepped heavily on the chest and back of the black bird. The scorching sun exploded with a roar, instantly blowing the black true energy on his body and the two magic sickle wings into pieces.

The black bird was forcibly knocked out of the devil form, and the skin on his back was burned into charcoal on the spot. Then the charcoal on his back was crushed by a black combat boot, revealing the pale flesh under the charcoal.

The fine irregular scales on the sole of the boot penetrated deeply into the pale flesh and blood, and the force was like waves, layer by layer, and the sound of bones breaking was continuous. Large pieces of blood spurted out of the black bird's mouth, and were burned into a faint smoke by the spreading pure Yangyan.

In the golden red sun, Xu Yue stepped on the black bird with broken eyes and fell from the sky at a high speed, leaving a long line of fire behind.

When it fell halfway, the black bird's broken eyes instantly solidified, and the fierce wind whistled in his ears. Below was the ground of the mountain belly that was constantly expanding. He could no longer feel any part of his body except his head.

In the previous blow, the vertebrae of the black bird had been completely crushed by Xu Yue. This would be a fatal injury for any normal human, but unfortunately not for the black bird.

He had been completely eroded and transformed by the technique, and now only his head was his absolute weakness. Other parts were not important. As long as he was conscious and his true energy was still there, he would not die. This was the origin of his name "Immortal Black Bird".

The stone platform below was already close at hand. The black bird's dark eyes glowed red, and the two wings on its shoulder blades stretched out again, and then shook vigorously, and a raging hurricane formed under the wings.

In Xu Yue's surprised eyes, the black bird was driven by the wings and shot forward, even if the flesh on its back was torn into pieces by the fine scales unfolded by the swimming scales boots.

Once it really fell to the ground, under the collision of the two forces, he could basically amputate below the neck.

"Boom!!"

As the black bird fled, Xu Yue smashed directly into the stone platform below. Amid the roar, his figure disappeared inside the stone platform, and the golden-red flame pattern spread outward from the pit smashed in the center of the stone platform.

After a few breaths, a large stone platform with a radius of several meters exploded in the golden red firelight, and the broken stones were scattered everywhere with the flames, hitting the adjacent stone platforms with a series of muffled sounds.

When the rising smoke and dust dissipated, the previous stone platform had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a broken stone pillar and the hot silver figure on the stone pillar.

Slowly standing up on the stone pillar, Xu Yue moved his numb right leg and looked at the black bird floating in the air in the distance with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth and his arms hanging down.

Although he didn't plan to kill the black bird directly just now, he still had the intention to destroy it with one blow, but he didn't expect that the opponent would have the spare energy to avoid this blow when his spine was broken and his consciousness was drowsy.

"In terms of vitality alone, you are stronger than the white bird."

After hearing Xu Yue's praise from below, the black bird felt humiliated. Although he was furious, his reason told him that he no longer had the capital to continue fighting with the opponent.

At this time, he was still able to float in the air, relying entirely on the support of his internal Qi. His back was rotten to pieces, and his vertebrae were broken into several pieces. Even with his inhuman constitution, it would take a long time to recover from such injuries.

"Do you want to continue?"

Looking at the silent black bird above, Xu Yue spoke lightly. At the same time, a beam of black light flew from a distance and hovered beside him. It was the Fang Tian Hua Ji that was blown away by the black bird before.

Holding the long halberd in his right hand, Xu Yue danced a halberd flower. The blazing flames rose from his body again, dispelling all the darkness around him. Since the black bird did not take the initiative to stop, it would be a good opportunity to completely destroy it.

In mid-air, Blackbird looked down at the golden-red flames rising from the stone pillars. His eyes jumped fiercely, and the stinging sensation of his skin being burned to charcoal seemed to rise from his back again. He was about to say something with his lips stammering, when something unexpected happened. A tall figure stepped on two green phoenixes and flew quickly from a distance, hovering just between the two of them, and also stopped Xu Yue's renewed fighting spirit.

"The assessment is over, you passed, Xinhuo."

The green phoenix stood on the illusory phoenix, told Xu Yue the results of the assessment, and then turned to the black bird behind him and said.

"Blackbird, there is no point in continuing to fight."

The black bird was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then flapped its wings and flew to the high platform above without saying a word. The green phoenix turned around and looked at Xu Yue below, nodded slightly, and left with him.

On the stone pillar, Xu Yue chuckled, the flames around him dissipated, and the halberd in his hand turned into a solution and merged into his body. Becoming a shadow assassin meant that he was only one step away from becoming the strongest mission target.

Leaping up from the stone pillar, he landed steadily in front of the stairs leading to the power center of the shadow organization and began to climb up.

After more than ten breaths, as the last step was crossed, Xu Yue stepped onto the platform at the top of the entire mountain space. He was greeted by six pairs of cold eyes shooting from the front, and he glanced at them one by one with a calm face.

Six shadow assassins were seen standing in a figure eight formation, with three standing on each side. Combining the corresponding information in his mind, he identified their identities from left to right.

The remnant robe fluttered, floating several inches above the ground, his arms drooped weakly, and the blood stains at the corners of his mouth were not dry. This was the black bird that he had just severely injured. When he saw Xu Yue looking over, he simply closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, so that he would not be bothered by it.

He was tall, with a bamboo hat on his head, and a white gauze curtain hanging from the edge, covering his face. This was the shadow assassin White Fox. His skills had the power to penetrate the bones and marrow and crush everything. Through the gauze curtain, he could vaguely see a pair of slender eyes looking at him up and down with interest.

He had a graceful figure and a charming temperament. He was playing with a blood-red flower stamen hidden weapon in his hand. This was the Manjusaka that brought him here. After noticing his gaze, Manjusaka also quietly cast a wink.

Light green ear-length hair, a scarf covering the mouth and nose, and a lingering smell of blood. This is Chiya. Facing the blood-red eyes, Xu Yue keenly sensed a hint of malice hidden in them.

Long hair, two swords on the waist, and a half-metal mask on the face, covering the right cheek. This is Qingfeng who announced the results of the judgment assessment before. Sensing Xu Yue's sight, he nodded slightly.

A stout body, a full-armor helmet, a wisp of red cherry on the top, and a yellow bird standing on the shoulder. This is Shimen, who can control the stone and escape underground. He is suspected to be a supernatural person. After Xu Yue looked at it, Shimen did not react much, but the bird on the shoulder tilted its head and waved its wings at him.

He quickly scanned the six shadow assassins in front of him, and his sight began to move upward. Above was a small round platform, behind which stood a giant glazed round window with the logo of the Shadow Organization. The cold moonlight poured in from the window, illuminating a skull throne made of various skeletons placed on the round platform.

A man with long white hair and a fierce face leaned on the throne. This man was the leader of the Shadow Organization and the strongest person in the entire organization.

The leader looked down at Xu Yue below, nodded with satisfaction, and said:

"From today on, you are the seventh Shadow Assassin."

"But the token of the seventh was taken away by a traitor and has not been found yet. Your next task is to find him, kill him by any means, and take back the token. Only then will you be the seventh Shadow Assassin in the name of justice."

The ranking of Shadow Assassins from one to seven does not represent the strength, but is determined by the time of becoming a Shadow Assassin. Therefore, Xu Yue does not care about the ranking of the seventh, but he knows where the token of the seventh is.

"This traitor betrayed the organization for a woman two years ago, was surrounded and killed by all assassins, and finally escaped from Xuanwu State. The chief assassin, Qi?"

Hearing the name "Qi", blood flashed in the leader's eyes, and a scroll and a jade pendant were thrown out of his hand, turning into two black shadows and shooting towards Xu Yue below.

"This is his information. Find him, kill him, and you will be the new chief!"

"The jade pendant is a token of trust. The breaking of the jade pendant represents the call for all shadow assassins to assemble."

"Yes, chief!"

Xu Yue clasped his fists in response. He first put the jade pendant in his arms, and then unfolded the scroll in his hand. The scroll showed a young assassin wearing a purple hood, holding a long sword with cracks on the blade.

"Qi, the magic sword Qianren..."
