I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

But he was only at the early stage of True King Heavenly Venerable, no match for Xu Yan in a direct confrontation; his only option was to lurk and launch a sneak attack.

"If I can injure Xu Yan and also escape smoothly..."

Shen Kui became more and more excited at the thought.

Since Earth Shadow members are good at sneaking, they naturally excel at stealth attacks and evading pursuit, which gave him some confidence that he could successfully flee after attacking Xu Yan.

"Here he comes!"

Shen Kui felt a bit nervous in his heart.

Even with expert concealment, facing a strong opponent like Xu Yan, he would undoubtedly be discovered once the distance was too close.

He had to judge the distance perfectly, attacking suddenly before being spotted while being close enough for the attack to be instantaneous, leaving no time for the target to react.

Hence, mastering this measure of distance was critical.

This was a skill every Earth Shadow member had to master and was the top priority.

Shen Kui believed that his own experience was also exceptionally cunning.

Beyond the training provided by Earth Shadow, he had also been nurtured by the Wan Family, and had used these tactics when carrying out their missions, hence gaining a wealth of experience.

"Another thirty feet closer, and I'll make my move!"

Shen Kui's heart was racing with excitement and also some nervousness.

"This person from the Wan Family does have some skills, adept at the art of concealment indeed!"

Xu Yan had long since detected Shen Kui's presence.

When it came to stealth and lurking, Xu Yan considered himself second to none, and Shen Kui, a mere early-stage True King Heavenly Venerable martial artist, thought his sophisticated techniques of stealth were invisible to Xu Yan?

Not to mention that Xu Yan had already mastered the Eye of the Minor Heavenly Path, making any form of concealment or hiding futile against his gaze.

Even without the Eye of the Minor Heavenly Path, the lurking techniques of Earth Shadow were nothing to him.

"This will be a good test for the Destiny of the Heavenly Intent and a shock for Wan Tianlin."

Xu Yan was secretly thrilled.

This person must be sent by the Wan Family to assassinate him; so be it, Xu Yan would use the Wan Family's own agent to strike back at them.

"The Wan Family will start suspecting they have a traitor, won't they?"

With a single step, Xu Yan left behind a Divine Origin Avatar to confuse Shen Kui while his true self, silent as a shadow, arrived behind Shen Kui.

"No good!"

In that instant, Shen Kui felt a tingling on his scalp, his martial artist's sense of crisis emerging sharply.

Danger!

He didn't suspect the threat was from Xu Yan but thought another powerful adversary was about to target him!

"Quite vigilant."

Xu Yan was not surprised by this, after all, being a True King Heavenly Venerable, not noticing when someone got behind him and started exerting power would have been too incompetent.

But, even with this realization, it was already too late!

Boom!

Invisible mountains and rivers had already enveloped Shen Kui, binding him instantly.

And a palm, swirling with a faint aura, as grand as the will of heaven, descended upon his head.

Boom!

In that moment, Shen Kui felt his divine soul, consciousness, and spiritual wisdom completely immobilized.

All resistance was futile.

What's more terrifying was the sensation of being faced with the immense will of heaven, as if everything was inevitable!

His consciousness seemed both lucid and hazy, and he was even somewhat confused about his current state.

"Go back, sneak attack and kill the one who ordered you to assassinate me!"

A will descended into his divine soul, like the inescapable destiny decreed by the heavens, impossible to resist.

It was as though a lock of heavenly might firmly secured him.

"Go back, kill the one who ordered you!"

In Shen Kui's mind, there was only this grand, irresistible will.

"Yes, yes!"

Shen Kui nodded his head.

Xu Yan lifted his hand, his face full of anticipation.

This was his first time using the Destiny of the Heavenly Intent divine skill, and to prevent Shen Kui from breaking free, Xu Yan exerted his full power, assisted by the Eye of the Minor Heavenly Path.

"Go."

To prevent any chance of Shen Kui overcoming the divine skill midway, Xu Yan waved his hand and gave the order.

"Use your methods, gain their trust, get close to them, sneak attack, and kill him!"

Xu Yan let out a sly chuckle.

"Yes, I will definitely do it!"

Shen Kui had become respectfully submissive, not even daring to raise his head as if he couldn't look directly at heavenly intent.

His figure shifted and he vanished instantaneously, rushing back in a frenzy.

"Kill Heavenly Slaughter, it was Heavenly Slaughter who ordered me to attack Xu Yan, so I must kill Heavenly Slaughter."

Shen Kui swiftly identified his target.

Even though the Wan Family had also given him orders, as a member of Earth Shadow, the command he truly acknowledged came from the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow Organization.

Since his task was to strike down the one who sent him, his target was naturally Heavenly Slaughter from the Earth Shadow Organization, the one who had given the order.

"Wan Tianlin, this is just the beginning."

As he watched Shen Kui leave, Xu Yan's eyes flashed with a cold smile.

Shen Kui was the first but wouldn't be the last.

"As my master said, a true martial artist is not a brute. How could I, Xu Yan, engage in such brutish actions? These tactics, I am also very adept at, the Wan Family is strong, right? Let's see them witness, the methods of Xu Yan!" Experience more on

Xu Yan continued toward the great city, proceeding with his plans.

And Shen Kui, not daring to delay, raced madly all the way, straight to one of the secret strongholds of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow.

"Have I gone mad? To actually want to kill Heavenly Slaughter?"

Deep in Shen Kui's heart, in the depths of his consciousness, he was somewhat clear-headed, knowing that what he was doing was wrong.

However, he was unable to resist that inscrutable will, painfully watching himself sprint non-stop towards the stronghold.
