The Last Primal



As Goil Hon fled into the distance, Aiden retracted his Black Tortoise phenomenon.

The support of a Martial Master phenomenon requires immense expenditure of spirit energy. Now that the outcome was determined, there was no need for Aiden to maintain his Martial Master phenomenon everywhere he went.

However, the moment he retracted his Black Tortoise phenomenon, he sensed an immense danger that was close by!

Aiden did not have time to check it out.

The person struck at a perfect moment when his defenses were at its weakest – it was also the moment when he was the most relaxed!

There was already no one within a hundred feet of his battle with Goil Hon.

Aiden had not expected anyone to close in to him stealthily and attack without warning!

The killing intent enveloped him immediately and it was chilling to the bones!

If he had not trained the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness and possessed his unpredictable spirit perception, Aiden would not have been able to react and would have died on the spot!

This could be considered a perfect assassination attempt!

Although he did not turn to look, a figure crossed Aiden's mind. Someone whose attire was indeterminate and had shifting appearances; a woman at times, a child at times, an elderly person at times…

The assassin of Hidden Death Sect!

Only a legacy disciple of Hidden Death Sect could have the insight to launch such a frightening assassination attempt!

Aiden fought against the most prominent successors of Hidden Death Sect twice and each time was equally treacherous.

20 years ago, Aiden only managed to kill the Thousand-faced Assassin beneath the Human Emperor's Palace!

To think that an assassin of Hidden Death Sect would leech onto him in the ancient battlefield again and try to claim his life immediately upon striking!

"Ah!"

A series of exclamations broke out from the crowd.

"Mister…!"

"Bro!"

"Aiden, watch out!"

Little Fox, the spirit tiger, and everyone else did not have time to move and could only shout.

Shen Ton had just taken a half-step forward before he stopped.

It was already too late.

Nobody could save Aiden.

The sword of the assassin was inches away from Aiden!

A wary look flashed through Shen Ton's eyes – this was the true terror of a legacy disciple of Hidden Death Sect!

If he was in Aiden's position, he would be doomed from this assassination as well!

There was nothing much to offend an ordinary martial artist.magic

However, if one offended an assassin, one would never have a moment of peace in their future unless either one of the parties was truly dead!

Nobody could know when an assassin would appear and they would always have to be on guard.

The assassin could be far away or nearby, always biding an opportune moment for a fatal strike like a ghost in the dark!

The mental torture was extremely frightening and most martial artists wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Om!"

In that instant, Aiden shouted with Prayer and released his robust voice as his blood energy surged and reverberated relentlessly like the crack of a thunderbolt!

Sound killing moves had almost instantaneous power bursts.

At that critical moment, only a sound killing move could save Aiden!

The assassin's body shuddered upon hearing the Prayer word.

Even for legacy disciples of Hidden Death Sect, they were not superior in head-on combat. The Prayer was released with haste and might not have had an impact on someone like Goil Hon.

However, the impact was great for the Hidden Death Sect assassin!

The sword in the hands of the assassin paused for a moment!

However, immediately after, the assassin released Hidden Death Sect's secret skill and suppressed the wild blood energy in his body. He straightened the sword and thrust towards Aiden's heart from the back!

The pause lasted for less than a single breath.

Most martial artists wouldn't be able to react to it.

However, Aiden possessed the warning from his spirit perception to begin with. There was no way he could miss this fleeting opportunity!

Splash!

His blood energy rumbled.

Aiden's body expanded massively all of a sudden and his robes were torn, revealing muscles that resembled molten steel!

Although the transformation did not seem like anything much, the expansion of Aiden's body caused the initial position of his heart to deviate!

Buzz! Buzz!

Six spirit patterns shone on the assassin's thin blade – it was a top grade artifact weapon that was extremely sharp!

However, the moment the thin blade entered Aiden's flesh, it was met with great resistance and let out a strange noise.

Half of his thin blade was pushed through but it did not hit any vitals.

Furthermore, when the assassin wanted to withdraw the sword, he discovered that his sword was stuck tightly within Aiden's flesh!

The next moment, a gigantic palm descended from the skies as a dark shadow blanketed the world!

"How dare you!"

Aiden hollered and disregarded his injuries as he counterattacked!

He was truly enraged by the assassination!

Thankfully, he had energy remaining after his fight with Goil Hon.

If he was facing an opponent like Dol J'ol, it would be deadly to have an enemy like this assassin lurking nearby!

He had to strike this person to death with his palm!

Right here, right now!

The assassin was decisive without any hint of panic in his eyes. He abandoned his thin sword and turned to flee, scurrying into the distance without touching the ground.

His movement technique resembled a ghost and he would disappear from one's line of sight if one was careless!

"You're still trying to escape?"

Aiden withdrew the long sword from his body and stuffed it into his storage bag.

A stream of blood spewed out but Aiden ignored it.

His physique was way too strong that an injury like this would not impact him much – he would recover on his own before long.

In a flash, Aiden chased in the direction of the assassin.

"Om… Ma… Ni… Pa… Mi… Hom!"

Aiden released the six Prayer words of the Daring Mantra immediately, bursting like thunder!

A single word was enough to affect the assassin.

Now that all six words of the Daring Mantra were released, a terrifying power was formed in the voids!

A golden, holy light flashed and the energy reverberated endlessly!

"Pfft!"

Against the shock of the Prayer words, the assassin spat out a mouthful of blood and instantly revealed his position.

"You're far weaker compared to the Thousand-faced Assassin!"

Before his sentence was finished, Aiden had already arrived behind the person. He reached out and punched the assassin heavily on the back!

Snap!

A tremendous power almost snapped the assassin, causing a lump to protrude from his chest in a shocking manner!

That single punch severed the life of the assassin!

Thump!

The assassin fell forward stiffly.

Aiden arrived beside him and put away the latter's storage bag. He then reached out and kicked the assassin's corpse to flip it.

The assassin was naturally unable to maintain Hidden Death Sect's secret skill after his death and his appearance was revealed.

He was an ordinary person.

His features could not have been any more ordinary.

He was someone that would not be noticed at all when thrown into a crowd.

Although Aiden had just seen how this person looked, the moment he closed his eyes, he could not even remember the person's face!

Someone like that was a natural-born assassin!

However, it was a pity that he chose the wrong prey!
