Chapter 690: Li Hui’s Assassination Weapon

"You even know about the Doomsday Decree?" Li Hui looked at the white-haired man, waves of shock rising in his heart.

"Tsk, tsk, what are you saying? How clueless can you be? From what I know, the head of the three great elders of the Kui Dao Sect, that group priding themselves on Li Hui Li Yingjun, frequently disturbs the time sequence to reverse causality. If anyone else did that, they would have been struck down by the Tribulation of the Heavens a thousand times over. But you hold the position of the Unrivaled Calamity Master, and the heavens delivering the Tribulation is a reward for you."

"Boom…" Six beams of light burst from Li Hui’s back, swirling around his body like sawteeth, slicing through the black-purple beam and relentless frost as he glared at the white-haired man.

"Oh, the treasure cabinet of the Six Paths of Reincarnation!" the white-haired man laughed heartily, "What a nostalgic feeling! You have no idea that for a time, I, Cold Lone Star, was obsessed with treasure cabinets, running wild in the mountains with a heavy box on my back. Hahaha, thank you; if you hadn’t released the treasure cabinet’s extension to the world, someone like me with my constitution could hardly have embarked on the path of cultivation. Die! No matter how many good deeds you have done, they cannot erase the sins you committed against the Gaotian Alliance."

Li Hui’s voice echoed from all directions: "The Gaotian Alliance secretly cooperates with the Blue Demon, almost becoming its henchmen. Your Cold Lone Star’s grandfather and father were no good men, secretly killing countless loyal and righteous individuals. I only regret that I was late in killing them; I should have taken out your grandfather before your father was born."

"Oh?" Cold Lone Star’s eyes flashed with fury as he roared, "And so what? You always seem to know our situation a step ahead. When did you find out? You not only know about the split of the Path of Martyrdom Alliance but also who my grandfather is? Attack! Attack!"

Before the words were fully spoken, five cultivators closed in.

Black mist swirled around Li Hui, with lightning erupting within, coalescing into a terrifying calamity symbol. Unexpectedly, these five cultivators were unaffected by the Doomsday Decree; in an instant, they unleashed a thousand swords.

"Ding ding dang dang, ding ding dang dang…" Sword shadows exploded from the black mist, revealing fierce swordplay.

Li Hui furrowed his brow, inwardly thinking: "Another sword technique specifically designed to counter me? These five cultivators harness the cycles of the Five Elements, using a sword array to make the Non-Return Sword aura rotate back and forth, enhancing their sword energy."

"Hahaha, just like that, yes, exactly like that!" Cold Lone Star laughed hysterically, "For this day, I have waited far too long!"

"You talk too much!" Li Hui flicked his wrist, shooting out hundreds of talismans, demonic energy swelling as those talismans transformed into enormous demon beasts charging toward the enemy.

"Suppress them!" Black-purple beams rained down from the sky, and so many demon beasts comparable to Late-Hongfa Stage disappeared in an instant, leaving only a wisp of ash blowing away.

Li Hui was not surprised; the enemy knew every method he wielded, including the talismans he routinely used. The only option now was…

"Only a hard clash remains; Qianyuan Heavy Slash, slash, slash, slash!"

"Boom, boom, boom, boom…" Amid the thunderous sounds, the Azure Sky Jade Symbol Sword rapidly broadened and thickened, with its blade length surpassing Li Hui’s height, featuring a multitude of interlaced golden squares, each containing the shadow of one or several mountains.

Li Hui swung the heavy sword in a rotation, obliterating the five approaching cultivators into blood mist. Yet, in a moment, those five cultivators reformed, their sword shadows carrying a piercing song of chaos as they charged again.

"Eh?"

Seeing this bizarre situation, Li Hui secretly thought: "This group arrived in this era after refining themselves, turning into an existence similar to a time phantom. The Doomsday Decree naturally does not fear time phantoms, but they do not know where they managed to obtain five mysterious drops of Immortal Blood, akin to those Departed Immortals, only projections are annihilated."

"Bang, bang, bang…" The five were once again obliterated into blood mist, but before a breath’s time passed, they reformed, their long swords becoming increasingly elusive and troublesome as they slowly adapted to the force of the heavy sword.

At this moment, Cold Lone Star ordered his subordinates to ignite five-colored toxic smoke nearby.

Li Hui glanced over, stunned, then self-mockingly thought: "Burning Void Poison? It has sealed this timeframe; even if future generations wish to change history to save me, they won’t be able to enter the door. The historical records will likely say the leader of the Heavenly Talisman Sect mysteriously vanished after extracting all the energy from the Wutu, leaving a stench that could last for ten thousand years!"

Cold Lone Star declared sternly, "Li, I know you have an assassination weapon. I have studied you for three hundred years, clearly understanding that you enjoy keeping backup plans and have many layers of hidden tricks. The Doomsday Decree, Kui Niu Drum, Cloud-Brush Dragon Claw Technique, and Azure Sky Jade Symbol Sword are mere external tools. The various cultivation methods you have comprehended, such as the Ideal Body, the fusion of Time Claws with the Cloud-Brush Dragon Claw Technique, along with the terrifying Heart Talisman tiles and the treasure cabinet of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, are the internal reasons for your reckless actions. I’ve always wondered if you have other hidden assassination weapons because beyond the few Blue Demons and earth-level Reversed Demons, no one has ever forced you to reveal more of your tricks."

"Oh? Want to know my true assassination weapon?" Li Hui, while shattering the five cultivators, cast a faint glance at Cold Lone Star.

"Exactly! Show it! Your true assassination weapon would satisfy my curiosity." The glint of desire appeared in Cold Lone Star’s eyes.

He truly hungered for this knowledge; anyone studying a person for three hundred years and discovering the other seemed like a maze, when unveiling one layer led to discovering another, would be utterly captivated!

Cold Lone Star continuously unraveled secrets, peeling back layer after layer of the maze. Even if he found no maze outside in the end, he would repeatedly ask himself if he truly understood this terrifying enemy completely. If the opponent had more assassination weapons, what kinds could they be?

Li Hui suddenly stood still, and a pair of curved dragon horns sprouted from his forehead.

Then, he took out a water flask and, tilting his head, drank heartily. Due to the haste and ferocity of his drinking, a drop of exquisite and bright red blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, falling to the ground and transforming into a small golden dragon that lifted its head and let out a dragon’s roar.

"You…" Before Cold Lone Star could respond, a voice came from behind him: "He is drinking Golden Immortal Blood, the purest ancient true dragon blood."

Cold Lone Star rubbed his hands together, saying, "Is it about to appear? The hidden assassination weapon of the Kui Dao Sect’s Li Hui, hidden the deepest. Hahaha, killing such a powerful figure is thrilling."

"Say less! If I were you, I would step back." A voice echoed from behind Cold Lone Star.

Li Hui finished a flask of true dragon blood, belching loudly, swaying unsteadily as if he were drunk. The next moment, five long swords attacked from the front, slashing with terrifying sword energy.

"Clang, clang, clang…" The long swords clashed against Li Hui, producing the sound of metal on metal; despite the numerous strikes, not a single sword mark was left!

"You wanted to see my assassination weapon? Watch closely…" Facing Cold Lone Star, Li Hui suddenly struck, his left arm splitting into five, transforming into five arms gripping the throats of the five cultivators.

"Crack, crack," the sound echoed as the five cultivators collapsed to the ground, their heads drooping to one side, bodies twitching, eyes filled with terror, unable to survive or die.

Cold Lone Star, greatly alarmed, asked his followers, "What happened? How did he do it? His aura has completely changed, as if he is not himself…"
