CHAPTER 927: CHAPTER 927: THE INVISIBLE ASSASSIN

"Am I being attacked?" Fang Jie was momentarily stunned; he never expected to be attacked.

The most crucial thing is that he couldn’t sense the opponent’s position at all, and he didn’t discover anything.

Even though he was attacked now, Fang Jie still couldn’t detect the slightest trace of the opponent. This made Fang Jie vigilant. Such a terrifying assassin, if lurking by his side, wouldn’t be discovered until they struck.

If not for his powerful automatic defense skills, he would have been hit by the opponent just now.

Even if one attack isn’t fatal, what about two or three? The injuries would continuously accumulate.

Fang Jie stayed in the void, unaware if the opponent had left or was still in the area. When Fang Jie’s vigilance decreased, the opponent suddenly appeared again.

Prepared this time, Fang Jie clearly saw a blade tip seemingly emerging from the void, stabbing straight at him.

The angle was extremely tricky; he almost didn’t notice it.

Gods don’t have vital points, but in reality, any body has certain special nodes.

If these nodes are severed, the impact on a God would be greater than a typical injury. This blade cleverly targeted one of his nodes, very insidious.

If this point is severed, most divine arts that rely on physical outbursts would become ineffective.

Of course, for spell-type divine arts, this method of body attack is much less effective.

However, the opponent’s attack was still blocked by a lotus flower.

Their attack power isn’t strong, but the threat is immense. Fang Jie felt the greatest danger from that blade; it’s exceptionally unique and could easily hurt him.

"This can’t go on so passively. If I can’t find them, I’ll have to keep enduring their attacks."

The most critical issue is that Fang Jie himself doesn’t even know who the enemy is. If he knew who they were, it would be easier to deal with, but without knowing, he must endure the constant assaults.

Even leaving here, it’s uncertain whether they would continue targeting him.

Surely, there aren’t many who can withstand an assassin’s attack like this.

If the opponent belongs to an opposing camp or divine race, the likelihood of them targeting him is even higher. After all, eliminating a powerful enemy would be a huge gain for their side.

He isn’t afraid, but what about his Divine Country and the people within it?

Behind Fang Jie, white lotuses bloomed, and life ripples spread.

Fang Jie instantly felt himself being empowered, and although the enemy remained hidden, they should be affected.

Soon, another cross-slash attack came from the opponent.

"Are they trying to weaken my defenses through attacks, then attack me?" Fang Jie nearly muttered, knowing the opponent could hear it, but he didn’t care at all.

Such attack strength is not even as fast as the recovery of his White Lotus Protection.

Even if he stood there letting the opponent attack till the end of time, he wouldn’t suffer anything. Conversely, if the opponent exhausts themselves too much, they won’t be able to maintain it then.

And this unknown hidden means must also consume quite a bit, right?

Yet even though they attacked, Fang Jie still hadn’t discovered the slightest trace of the opponent. But after this attack, the opponent left a tiny mark.

This mark might be undetectable to others, but within Fang Jie’s perception, it was very clear.

Fang Jie remained calm, continuing to act as if he hadn’t noticed the opponent, continuing to stay in the area.

Not long after, indeed, the opponent attacked again, with each attack increasing in frequency. Clearly, the opponent had targeted him, unwilling to give up without achieving their goal.

"Impressive character, keep that up, let me see your limits."

In his heart, Fang Jie silently thought, continuously maintaining life ripples to absorb the opponent’s strength.

He could tell the life ripples were definitely taking effect on the enemy, though he couldn’t see the opponent.

Yet with each attack, the traces the opponent left behind continued to strengthen. The opponent’s perception didn’t seem as strong as his, failing to notice the marks he left.

This was Fang Jie’s opportunity; otherwise, he would have ignored them and continued searching for a chance.

Gradually, Fang Jie didn’t remain stationary but used a wide range of attacks, occasionally striking around. It was evident the opponent didn’t recognize him and didn’t understand his methods.

So Fang Jie used a single death law, attacking extensively, not even utilizing divine arts.

This approach immediately eased the opponent, who had dealt with other gods using similar methods before. They hoped to expose their position through such large-scale attacks.

However, they had unique ways to evade all these attacks.

As long as the opponent overextends themselves, he could easily eliminate them.

He’d faced similar targets before, possessing overwhelming defenses that frustrated him, but with persistence comes victory. In this draining battle, the opponent would definitely expend more than he would.

He’d been here alone for a while now.

No matter if others were dead or separated, he believed Fang Jie’s consumption was substantial. Perhaps even the divine power crystals in him were depleted, as there’s no place to replenish them here.

After three days, Fang Jie’s attack frequency began to drop; the opponent sensed their chance had come.

Simultaneously, Fang Jie felt the opportunity was at hand. The opponent’s marks had reached a certain extent, whether due to their depletion or other reasons. This allowed Fang Jie to seize their tail.

If he could grab onto the opponent’s traces, he could keep them here forever.

The opponent found Fang Jie incredibly dangerous, just as Fang Jie found the opponent extremely perilous.

"Now’s the time." As Fang Jie attacked again, the opponent’s eyes lit up. During the previous attacks, the lotus flowers around Fang Jie grew fewer and dimmer, leaving only one remaining.

Moreover, that single lotus was now as dim as it could be. He believed this time’s attack could definitely break the opponent’s defense. Little did he know, Fang Jie had orchestrated this facade.

It was relatively easy to make the lotus appear dimmer on the surface.

But the opponent’s perception was clearly lacking, failing to recognize Fang Jie’s methods. After all, anyone faced with such a predicament wouldn’t consider these subtleties.
