Assassination System

Annie and her companion stared blankly as Dan fiercely glared at her, "What are you doing? Hurry up and crush that ball!" He commanded and Annie's mind returned to reality as her hands pinched the Formation Core.

Senior Brother One Strike clicked his tongue, the sudden death of his comrade didn't bother him. What bothered him was that Heaven's Oath didn't affect Dan, but it still affected them. In short, Dan could freely attack them but they cannot retaliate or else they would face punishment.

His fellow disciples noticed this and they felt indignance in their hearts. Annie took advantage of this momentary confusion and destroyed the Formation Core inside her palms as numerous cultivation bases along with her own, rotated into life.

Cultivation bases surged and the earth itself trembled as the raging fury of the disciples from the Paradyne Academy soared into life. Wielding their swords, their expressions turned venomous as they viciously laughed, "Finally, finally, we can finally take our revenge!"

Fueled with the pent-up indignance and hatred that they accumulated for the past several days. The attacks of the disciples were vicious and fierce. Even one of the remaining female disciple who was considered as a gentle goddess back at the Paradyne Academy unleashed a torrent of insults and madly attacked in a flurry.

Annie Thompson soared towards the skies along with Senior Brother Kwydin. One Strike lifted his head and glanced at the two before clicking his tongue. The reversal was too sudden and everyone was caught off guard.

Senior Brother One Strike possessed the same cultivation as Senior Brother Kwydin. However, the exhaustion that he had with the previous battle against the Ape Vampire Count made him unfit for a battle between peak experts. Gnashing his teeth, he fiercely glared at Dan before dishing out his instructions.

"Calling for the remaining disciples of the Thousand Swords Sect! Focus all of your attacks on the Ape Vampire Count! We'll hold off these bastards!" As expected of an expert like One Strike. Despite the immense pressure that he faced, he could still calmly hold his ground and instruct his fellow disciples as a proper leader.

In this kind of a situation, target priority could spell their success or doom. One Strike quickly decided, even if they had casualties, as long as they can reap the Ape Vampire Count's body and acquire the materials from it, every sacrifice would be worth it.

However, how could the Ape Vampire Count stand still and let them attack its body? A fierce wind surged and everyone who dared to approach its vicinity was flung aside as they miserably screamed. The winds alone tore their clothes along with their skin.

One Strike clicked his tongue, aside from Dan. He was the only one that could safely approach the Ape Vampire Count and attack it. Darting his gaze at Dan, he found that the latter remained indifferent and calm as if everything was under his control.

This made him feel inferior and weak compared to the latter. Gnashing his teeth, he disregarded everything and focused on attacking the Ape Vampire Count. Intent on taking it down as soon as possible.

Sword beams filled the skies along with lightning arcs which constantly battered the Ape Vampire Count's body. Judging from the health bar in his peripheral vision. Dan could predict that the Ape Vampire Count would go down in five minutes if they continued this pace.

One Strike's fellow disciples tried their best in deflecting the attacks of the disciples of the Paradyne Academy. But still, they couldn't completely negate their crazed attacks as blood spurted from their mouths. Their bodies were riddled with numerous injuries of different sizes.

"Senior Brother! Please end it as soon as possible, we may not make it!" A male disciple from One Strike's side, pleaded as he bit the tip of his tongue and ignited his blood essence. His eyes flashed in the understanding that as long as they succeeded, his sacrifice would be worth it.

Crimson lights decorated the heavens as everyone disregarded their injuries in an effort to take their enemies down as soon as possible. Even Annie who worked hard on maintaining his pristine image acted like a wild dog, sending waves after waves of crazed attacks.

The battlefield was a mess with severed limbs flying through the air and blood decorating the ground crimson as a strong smell of rust wafted out and invoked nausea to those who caught a whiff of it.

Even Dan who experienced a fair share of brutality and gore couldn't help but feel disturbed. Taking a deep breath, he continued his attacks along with One Strike whose eyes started shining in a scarlet light of greed and craziness.

"Fucking hell, everyone's gone nuts!" Dan screamed inside his mind and momentarily glanced at Annie. Witnessing her disheveled appearance and the light within her eyes that wanted nothing but to kill. Dan felt a shiver down his spine.

Both sides turned crazy and attacked each other without regard for their injuries. The negative energies that wafted out from their bodies entered Dan's body without his knowledge.

Unleashing a barrage of fists clad in lightning, Dan understood that once this Ape Vampire Count has died, everyone would definitely return to normal.

Lightning crazily surged along with sword beams that decorated the heavens itself. The Ape Vampire Count miserably shrieked and entered a state of fury as a crimson mist exploded from its body. Dan took advantage of this opening and sent a precise attack on its crucial acupoint.

"Kweaaah!" The Ape Vampire Count miserably shrieked and despite its struggle, its lifeforce drained from its body and it soon lost all signs of life. Everyone in the battlefield temporarily stopped and stared at the gigantic figure of the Ape that fell face down on the ground.

"Y-Y-you did it, Senior Brother One Strike!" A disciple from the Thousand Swords Sect cheered. One Strike's expression looked complicated and his face indicated his exhaustion. He couldn't even keep his arms from trembling as he stood there with unstable feet.

In contrast, Dan looked carefree and as calm as ever as if he didn't engage in battle and observed everything from the sidelines instead. Staring right into his eyes, the previous jubilant atmosphere turned tense.

With the death of the Ape Vampire Count, the temporary truce made with Heaven's Oath was dissipated, but the question was, could they handle Dan in their current state?

A disciple from the Thousand Swords Sect took notice of this as he wryly smiled and said, "Ermm, how about we do this like this since both sides sacrificed something to kill this Ape, we should obtain the materials in a fair share, how about that?"

Hearing his words, Dan couldn't help but chuckle, "Fair share? Bastards like you who are even worse than bandits are asking me for fair distribution? How laughable..."

The disciple who spoke up earlier choked in his own saliva as he lifted his hand and pointed at Dan, "You..."

Dan shook his head in response, "If you want to negotiate, you should first make sure that you're qualified to do so in the first place..."

One Strike's expression flickered, but he maintained his composed and cool look as if everything happening before him didn't matter to him.

"I could've shared everything with you guys in a fair manner, but since you captured my fellow disciples and made their lives harder and even raped some of my fellow disciples, you cannot just expect me to follow the end of my deal, right?" Dan lifted a mysterious smile before taking the authorization token that he possessed and displayed it to the crowd.

Everyone's expression changed, particularly those from the Thousand Swords Sect who thought, "Provoking this demonic god, we're definitely screwed this time..."

Those from the Paradyne Academy stared at the authorization token in shock, but when they felt the unique energy fluctuations from the token. They were convinced that it was authentic. However, there was someone that couldn't accept everything.

It was Annie Thomspon who lifted her finger and pointed at Dan in indignance.

"You...How dare you claim that you're a member of our Academy when you abandoned us earlier!" Remembering the time where Dan took the Thousand Swords Sect's side. Her face flushed in anger.

"Abandon? If I didn't send that bolt of lightning at the right time, earlier. Then you would've been dead! Ungrateful swine!" Dan violently cursed and Annie could only keep her indignance in her heart as she engraved Dan's name in her mind.

"Hahaha," One Strike suddenly laughed, his laughter froze everything around and made him the focal point of everyone. Dan stared at the former with knitted eyebrows and thought, "Is he planning something? With his current state, there should be no way that he could fight back against me and the unsealed disciples of the Academy..."

"Just because you trashes have regained your cultivation bases and you have this so-called strong bastard in your side, doesn't mean that you have already won the war..." Senior Brother One Strike unsheathed his sword and Dan's expression turned solemn. Assuming a stance, he would attack once One Strike moved.

"Innumerable strange techniques exists under the heavens and you cannot say that you won until you saw your enemy's corpse! Even if I am battered, right now, I can still rise up and decimate you all!" He boldly declared before biting the tip of his tongue and vomiting a mouthful of his blood essence.

His eyes flashed in ruthlessness as the negative energies around his body reached the peak. Dan's expression changed, he had an idea about what One Strike was about to do as he shouted, "Shit, everyone get the hell out of here!"

One Strike lifted the ball of blood essence and mumbled, "Too late, no one shall be able to escape..."

"Yin Elemental Art: Blood and Soul Sacrifice!"

The ball of blood essence exploded and latched on the bodies of his fellow disciples who madly shrieked in pain and fear. Dan along with Kwydin and the remaining members of the Paradyne Academy froze in their footsteps when they realized that One Strike only targeted his fellow disciples.

Their faces twisted into utmost anger when they saw One Strike's fellow disciples melting into a pool of blood all the while screaming for mercy and cursing One Strike in their hearts.

"One Strike! I will never let you go even if I'm a ghost!"

"Curse you, curse you and your eighteen generations of ancestors!"

"You will have an ugly death, One Strike!"

One Strike merely glanced at the dying disciples before suffusing a cold and indifferent expression. At this moment, Dan felt a chill in his heart as he realized what a true demonic cultivator was.

Disregarding relationships and feelings. They could discard everything just for the sake of power. Someone like that, someone like One Strike who sacrificed the lives of his fellow disciples could be considered as a true demonic cultivator!

Thinking back at the words that George said to him earlier, a torrent of negative energies surged inside his mind as he felt the urge to slaughter taking over his rationality.

"Such is a true demonic cultivator, eh..."

Dan kept the negative energies in his mind at bay as he tightly clenched his fists and manifested the first stance of his Divine Art. Standing before the crazed One Strike, his eyes flashed without fear and his figure looked stoic amidst the tempest!

A true battle between two demonic cultivators was about to start!
