"Is that so?"
The next second, Chen Jie directly took out the bronze sword from his storage ring.
"Big treasure sword?" Shadow looked at the sword and said subconsciously.
"Do you recognize this sword?" Chen Jie's gaze sharpened.
From within the sword, Fang Shaohua's voice transmitted, "I sense the aura of a member of the Shadow Sect!"
His voice could only be heard by Chen Jie.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Shadow, "Are you from the Shadow Sect?"
"No! I'm not you, you guessed wrong!" Shadow immediately denied.
But the next second, Fang Shaohua exclaimed, "What? Shadow Sect, they even sent a Shadow Killer?"
Shadow Killer?
Chen Jie gave Shadow a deep look, "So you are a Shadow Killer from the Shadow Sect. Your abilities are indeed very suitable for being an assassin."
Shadow's expression changed slightly, "How did you know it was me?"
He had been carrying out missions for the Shadow Sect for many years and had never exposed his identity.
This was because almost everyone who had seen him was dead.
Within the Shadow Sect, only a handful of people knew of his existence.
It was clearly impossible for Chen Jie to know of his existence, let alone recognize him at a glance.
Chen Jie did not answer him, because Fang Shaohua had given him another very important piece of information.
"Kid, this Shadow Killer is a high-ranking member of the Shadow Sect. He must know information about more important figures in the Shadow Sect. If you capture him, you can wipe out the entire Shadow Sect."
"Now I'll teach you how to counter his abilities!"
"To the left, at the nine o'clock direction, five meters, slash!"
Hearing this, Chen Jie unhesitatingly slashed towards the nine o'clock direction.
*Puff...*
A scream sounded, and a trail of blood appeared out of thin air.
Then Shadow disappeared and reappeared in the direction Chen Jie had slashed.
"What's going on? How did you see my position!"
The trail of blood was actually Shadow spitting blood, but there was no sword wound on his body.
"Slash again!" Fang Shaohua commanded.
Chen Jie swung his long sword again.
*Puff...*
Another light sound, Shadow spat out another mouthful of blood, but his body dissipated into thin air.
"At four o'clock direction, slash!"
*Puff...*
"At twelve o'clock direction, slash!"
"At ten o'clock direction, slash!"
"Overhead, slash!"
*Puff puff puff...*
After a few slashes, Shadow's figure became extremely weak. He looked at Chen Jie in terror.
"You, how exactly did you do it?"
"How I did it is not important. What's important is that you can't escape today!"
Shadow was inwardly anxious. He was indeed starting to consider retreating.
But now that Chen Jie could see through his form, even if he wanted to run, it was useless.
"Final slash! Directly in front, slash!"
Chen Jie swung his sword again.
With a piercing scream, Shadow's body, as if converging from all directions, appeared before Chen Jie.
"Ah!"
"My Shadow Clones! Shadow Clones..."
Shadow frantically realized that his technique had been broken and he could no longer use his Shadow Clones.
In fact, he was originally a very formidable master, but by using Shadow Clones, his overwhelmingly strong abilities were dispersed again and again. This was very helpful for his assassinations, but his overall power was greatly reduced.
"Damn it! If I had known you could break my Shadow Clones, I would never have used this move. Otherwise, you would definitely not be my match!" Shadow said angrily.
"There's no turning back in this world! However, if you hadn't used this move, you would have died even faster!"
Chen Jie's expression turned cold, and he attacked again.
This time, Shadow had no power to resist and was firmly controlled by Chen Jie.
"Good! You trash kid, how dare you have ideas about us! Go to hell!"
Tang Yun, furious, attacked, delivering a barrage of over a dozen slaps that rang out loudly.
An ordinary person would have been bruised and swollen, but as a master, being slapped by an ordinary person like this wouldn't swell his face, even if Tang Yun's hand was sore.
In fact, it felt quite comfortable.
However, comfort aside, the humiliation brought by Tang Yun was something he could not accept.
"You, you stupid woman, how dare you lay a hand on me, you damn old birthday star eating poison, looking for death!"
Shadow roared.
"Looking for death? I, I..."
Tang Yun was extremely angry. Looking around, she quickly found an iron bowl and then smashed it onto his face.
Before long, the iron bowl was flattened, but it did not cause any substantial damage to Shadow.
"His physical body is too strong, this is useless. Let me do it."
Chen Jie walked forward with a smile, then grabbed Shadow's shoulder and with a *crack*, directly shattered his arm.
Shadow let out a scream.
Chen Jie's hands didn't stop, and he shattered the other arm as well.
"That's enough, stop it!" Shadow roared.
"Now, can you state your purpose?" Chen Jie asked.
Shadow was enraged.
Half of his skills were in his legs, used for escaping at critical moments.
His arms were used for killing enemies.
But now Chen Jie had crippled both of his arms, which was equivalent to crippling half of his abilities.
All that remained was his escape ability.
For a moment, he was beyond anger.
"Heh heh, you're not an idiot, do I still need to say it? Do you really need to ask me? That's right, my purpose is to kill you! We knew about your relationship with Lin Shuang long ago, so I came to impersonate her fiancé and take the opportunity to kill you!"
"If I had known this earlier, I should have made a move when you were sick. You definitely wouldn't have had a chance to react then, would you? Damn it! I was too arrogant! I didn't take you seriously!"
Shadow was full of regret.
He had indeed been arrogant, thinking that Chen Jie had not paid attention to him earlier.
If he had launched a killing blow on Chen Jie without attracting his attention, wouldn't Chen Jie be finished?
At that time, Lin Shuang and Tang Yun in the room would have been at his mercy.
Why would he have ended up in this situation?
Unfortunately, he hadn't originally thought that way.
He was too confident in his abilities and thought that even if the mission failed, his abilities were foolproof.
He could have taken Lin Shuang away, thoroughly humiliated and tortured her, and then let Chen Jie come looking for her, setting up an ambush.
At the very least, even if the mission failed, he could still escape with his abilities.
However, what he didn't expect was that Chen Jie could actually break his Shadow Clones.
If he had known this earlier, how could he have been so conceited?
However, the thought was beautiful, and the actual outcome would not have changed much.
Because Chen Jie possessed divine sense, any sneak attack would be useless against him.
On the contrary, if Shadow used a killing blow, he would completely expose his body.
At that time, Chen Jie could have crippled him with a counter-slash.
Even if Shadow wanted to escape, Chen Jie could still break his Shadow Clones by taking out the bronze sword.
"Shadow Sect, I remember now! It's a very powerful organization! Chen Jie, how did you offend such a force?" Lin Li seemed to have recalled something and said to Chen Jie with concern.
