Immortal of the Ages

Chapter 333: Number One Assassin in the Nine Hells!

Yun Xiao's statement struck like a bolt from the blue, silencing the previously raucous crowd in the Immortal Asylum.

All the Fate Ocean Realm Sword Cultivators had just declared their surrender. And now, the very Exiled Sword Immortal they most wanted dead was the first to step into battle?

"The rules of the Immortal Asylum didn't say we couldn't swap tokens, so..."

The more than 10,000 participants from the other seven hells exchanged glances, their eyes icy with resolve.

"Just kill him." That was the unspoken consensus.

The crowd's gaze, filled with surging murderous intent, focused on the young man in white at the Radiance Gate. Most of the older powerhouses felt his provocation.

One man, almost challenging the entire elite of the Nine Hells! Who could stand it? The rulers of the other seven hells didn't hesitate, immediately discussing who would fight first.

Their main goal in the Nine Hells Conquest Clash was to kill Yun Xiao, and they needed a strong contender to do it in one go. The choice was critical! It had to be the strongest Fate Ocean Realm combatants from each hell.

In the Sword Ruins, they would probably have chosen Mu Daxiong and Du Zhongyuan.

The strongest Fate Ocean Realm individuals were already renowned in their respective hells. So, many eyes quickly picked Yun Xiao's opponent.

For instance, in the Endless Netherworld, all the Yin Devils instinctively looked towards the Lion Duke.

"You go," the War Princess said indifferently.

"Kill?" the Lion Duke asked, glancing at Yun Xiao and then querying the Netherworld Emperor in a low voice.

The Netherworld Emperor looked to the War Princess.

"Kill your dad!" the War Princess retorted with a roll of her eyes.

"You mustn't disrespect your grandfather like that!" Several of her relatives coughed, including the Netherworld Emperor.

The Lion Duke gazed deeply at the War Princess... his decision whether to kill or not was already made. He quickly swapped his token for one with the number one on it.

The start of the first battle was upon them, and there was no time to lose. So, the other six hells also swiftly completed their swaps!

In the Primeval Demon Hell, Qing Ge was selected for the battle. An old friend of the Lion Duke, she was acknowledged as the strongest land demon in the Fate Ocean Realm.

If either she and the Lion Duke didn't fight, it would have caused controversy!

Apart from those two, five other renowned figures in the Nine Hells were chosen.

Young and mighty, each was a rising star in their respective hells, and possibly the future pillars of their domains.

After the seven strongest Fate Ocean Realm combatants swapped their tokens, they boldly stepped forward, drawing the gaze of thousands!

Three among them captured most of the attention

Calamity Seal Purgatory, Fu Ying.

Rising Sun Inferno, Scorching Marquis.

Undead Depths, Abyssal Shade.

Just one look at these three, and you could tell they posed a greater threat than the Lion Duke or Qing Ge!

"The cruelest ones have indeed stepped up!"

"This battle, they won't rest until Exile Yun is dead"

The Sword Cultivators from the Sword Ruins hadn't expected Yun Xiao to fight. Seeing these seven hells send out their best, even those confident in Yun Xiao felt a twinge of anxiety.

Mu Dalong, worried, hurried over, "Exile Yun, let me brief you on the strengths and tactics of these seven"

"No need." With tese words, Yun Xiao leapt up, transforming into a streak of white light that swiftly descended onto the octagonal stage. He stood firmly on the Radiance section.

"Come and meet your end." Yun Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the seven.

"Utter arrogance!"

"This kid really has no subtlety"

Most present, barring Moon Fairy and the War Princess, were at least a decade older than Yun Xiao. Many elders, eyes blazing with fury, shook their heads in disdain.

"Kill him, and all will be at peace!" Moon Fairy shouted, his voice cold.

His words rippled through the crowd, quickly becoming a roaring wave of thousands, like a torrent of swords bearing down on Yun Xiao.

"This is the will of the people. You, a scourge upon heaven, are doomed!" he sneered.

This provoked another round of jeering.

The War Princess, biting her lip, stood speechless amidst the uproar.

It must be said, Moon Fairy single-handedly stirred up a tempest of vengeance against Yun Xiao. Suddenly, the entire Immortal Asylum echoed with cries for his head, painting him as a scourge against the heavens.

"Kill him!" This chorus thundered, reverberating through the air.

The powerful beings of the Nine Hells, with a gleam in their eyes, seemed to already envision Yun Xiao's gruesome end. They were primed for a bout of euphoria following his demise.

Amidst this swirling maelstrom of murderous intent, the seven strongest Fate Ocean Realm warriors from the seven hells, along with Yun Xiao, occupied their respective positions in the Eight Trigrams arena.

Mo Jianzhi sealed off the arena and declared, "The first battle begins now!" His words tripled the already intense atmosphere in the Immortal Asylum, with all the killing intent focused on Yun Xiao.

Inside the arena, the hostility from the seven opponents was even more chilling.

Yun Xiao glanced at them. Among these seven, he only recognized the Lion Duke and Qing Ge.

On the Force position of the Eight Trigrams stood a woman in a wide robe adorned with inscriptions. With raven black hair, her eyes swirled with runic patterns. An illusory mark was also etched on her forehead.

She was Fu Ying, the younger sister of the Talisman Emperor. Her Life Sigil was likely related to illusions and trickery.

"Fu Ying is the perfect assassin for Yun Xiao, the top killer in the Nine Hells. Her Shadowless Sigil grants her invisibility, making her strikes lethal!"

"No doubt, she was born for assassination!"

Without needing Mu Dalong's introduction, Yun Xiao heard the crowd praising this woman who now vanished into darkness, disappearing before everyone's eyes.

"She's truly gone!"

"Who can sense her presence?"

Thousands were shaken, witnessing the first killer's skill, leaving many in awe.

"With her here, how can this disaster not meet his end?"

At this moment, the expressions of the crowd grew even more sinister.

"As for the Scorching Marquis and Abyssal Shade, one is a domineering lord of the Rising Sun Inferno, and the other the most venomous demon from the ocean depths. Both are stronger than Fu Ying in direct combat!"

"The Lion Duke, Shi Feilan, Qing Ge, and the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon Ao Zui are also quite formidable. Each could give an Overseer a run for their money"

With such a lineup, they were the crme de la creme of the Nine Hells in everyone's eyes. Veterans of countless battles, not mere young talents.

After Fu Ying vanished using her Shadowless Sigil, the remaining six, itching for action, were ready to pounce.

"The one who slays the Exiled Sword Immortal will be sung about for ages, a crowning glory for their clan."

Who wouldn't want that glory?

In this ambush, the seven of them were also rivals!

Once the arena was sealed, someone immediately made a move, even before Fu Ying could. It was Ao Zui, the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon from the Leviathan Ravine!

This middle-aged man, shrouded in dark blue mist, had ferocious eyes and lunged forth, morphing into a dragon-crocodile hybrid, equipped with huge fangs, thick dragon scales with spikes, and a tail like a massive sword.

The most terrifying part? His eight sturdy arms, with claws crashing onto the arena platform, igniting sparks.

A dense blue demonic aura billowed from his body, engulfing half the stage like a tsunami, hurtling towards Yun Xiao.

BOOM! His eight arms pounded the ground, the entire arena's sealing formation trembling.

"He's aiming to strike first!"

"Ao Zui has the right to! In terms of physical strength, he's likely the strongest here!"

"This is the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon's supreme racial talent!"

With his entrance, Ao Zui overshadowed the other six. The more than a thousand sea dragons from the Leviathan Ravine watched, eyes ablaze, roaring for blood.

"Tear him apart!"

Their frenzy wasn't just for Yun Xiao, but against the entire Eternal Sword Prison.

In a flash, Ao Zui was upon Yun Xiao, those massive arms with the force of the sea thundering towards Yun Xiao's head!

BOOM! The sound of the air being torn apart was deafening, stirring the crowd into a frenzy over the dragon's formidable display.

"A sea lizard leading the charge?" Amidst the overwhelming pressure, Yun Xiao suddenly looked up, his icy gaze locking onto the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon.

The crowd was out for blood, and he'd give it to them. It just wouldn't be his!

Apart from some beef with the Calamity Seal Purgatory, Yun Xiao barely had any dealings with the other hells. Yet, each seemed more ruthless than the last, leaving no room for mercy.

Take this Eight-Armed Evil Dragon, for instance, coming at him like he wanted to squash Yun Xiao into pulp. How could he stand for that?

Yun Xiao was seething with anger.

"Begin the slaughter!" With those words, the storm began. He moved! An azure Sword Soul, wrapped in 11,000 layers of Sword Aura and enhanced by seven Hell Demon Sword Rings, suddenly appeared in his hand!

HUM! The Sword Soul instantly transformed into a Flying Sword!

That Flying Sword, wrapped in seven demon magics, enveloped Yun Xiao in a tempest.

Sword energy and demonic energy, two vastly different forces, merged perfectly in this moment.

With a cold smirk, Yun Xiao's Sword Soul lashed out. The seven demonic beings on the Flying Sword seemed to come alive, swirling around the blade, whipping up storms of wind, fire, thunder, illusion, and more.

Silent but deadly, the essence of a Flying Sword technique was speed.

However, Yun Xiao's art added layers upon layers to that speed!

In a flash of azure light, Heaven Burial Sword Soul morphed into 72 swords, forming a light-shadow sword array!

This was one of the techniques from the Ancestral Sword Tombthe Eight-Nine Mystic Sword!

The mysteries of the Eight-Nine Mystic Sword were profound, its intricacies beyond the grasp of most. But Yun Xiao, in his sword learning, did he just stop at mastery? Of course not! His version started off standard, then midway, it transformed!

BUZZ! While retaining the eight-by-nine sword formation, each sword morphed into a strand of Rootless Grass, channeling the power of death! In an instant, it shifted again into the Taiji Flying Fish, unleashing the power of Taiji spatial disruption!

Three great Flying Sword techniques, all fused into one!

And that was just the beginning!

After unleashing all its power, the Flying Sword momentarily vanished into thin air, then reemerged with the spatial ripples of Ling Chen's Vast Sky technique!

In just a blink, it traversed space, suddenly appearing before the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon!

Most couldn't keep track of the transformations of the Flying Sword, not even the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon.

"What's this?" Ao Zui, taken aback, hurriedly covered his vulnerable points like his mouth and eyes, and while continuing its charge at Yun Xiao. He unleashed the demon magic, Octofold Sea Blast!

WHOOOM! His dragon scales burst into blinding light, engulfing Yun Xiao in an instant.

"Die!" He sneered triumphantly. With his vulnerabilities secured, what fear did he have of Yun Xiao's Flying Sword? He opted to take the sword head-on with his sturdy scales, planning to smash the youth with a single swipe!

Just as the sword was about to strike, it suddenly vanished! It slipped back into the void, disappearing from sight!

"Huh?" Ao Zui paused, his expression quickly turning to horror. A sharp pain exploded in his clenched mouth as if seven colossal beasts had rammed into his throat!

SLASH! In the next instant, the sword pierced through his throat, tearing downwards in a rampage.

Flesh and blood flew everywhere!

The Eight-Armed Evil Dragon opened his mouth in a terrible scream, his tongue and mouth reduced to minced meat.

Yun Xiao casually stepped aside, and the dragon hurtled past him.

Black blood burst from Ao Zui's mouth as he tumbled to the ground, convulsing, his body writhing in agony.

POOF! His body shimmered with the light of a thousand swords he seemed to have swallowed. Then with a thunderous explosion, his abdomen burst open, his organs spilling out, drenching half the stage in blood.

"What... happened..." The Eight-Armed Evil Dragon, trembling, looked at the young man in white, his eyes dimming. His mutilated head lolled to one side, never to move again.

The scattered remains of his organs were a shocking sight.

"Ao Zui is dead."

Several fighters on the arena platform suddenly halted, their previously relaxed expressions turning grave.

A deathly silence fell over the entire Immortal Asylum.

Over 10,000 pairs of eyes stared at the dragon's corpse, speechless for a long time.

On the side of the Leviathan Ravine, the sea dragons transformed into human forms were visibly distressed.

Their earlier boasts now felt like slaps to their own faces! Whether it was their pride or their throats, they burned with pain, as if Yun Xiao's Flying Sword had pierced through them.

For the first time, they witnessed the sharpness of this young man in white with their own eyes.

Yun Xiao strolled over to the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon as if he were squashing an ant. With a squelch, he casually thrust his sword into the recently deceased demon's skull. To the horror of the sea dragons, he began to absorb the essence of the dragon's bones right then and there!

"You're courting death!!"

The demons exploded in rage! The sea dragons of the Leviathan Ravine, known for their fury and sorrow, found this act utterly intolerable. To them, such public desecration was an unforgivable affront.

Yun Xiao was already audacious enough to take on seven alone, and now this brutality? His arrogance knew no bounds!

However, what Yun Xiao sought was their utter fear, not mutual respect.

"Kill him!"

The pressure of thousands of furious roars now weighed heavily on the remaining fighters.
