"Dark Night Mansion?"

Chu Ming's eyes revealed a hint of surprise. Throughout the continent, people from the Dark Night Mansion were not particularly welcomed because they were well-versed in the art of assassination. When they fought, they often caught their opponents off guard, defeating them in a single move. For instance, Emperor Shadow, one of the original six giants, was also a prodigy from the Dark Night Mansion.

However, Emperor Shadow's talent was evidently far superior to that of Black Soul. If Emperor Shadow were Black Soul's age, he could totally annihilate Black Soul in seconds.

Slash!

Just as Black Soul and the other two were about to close in, Chu Ming's Blood Dome Sword lightly trembled, instantly bursting into countless sword flowers, enveloping the three of them. The fierce energy pressure instantly weighed down on them.

"Chu Ming, surrender now. You cannot possibly be a match for the three of us!"

A flash of malice crossed Black Soul's eyes. Though he had no personal grudge against Chu Ming, he had lost a Bright Stone because of him and felt deeply humiliated in front of Zhuge Ming.

He was ranked within the top twenty on the Transcendence List, dazzling among the younger generation. The two people with him were also no less noteworthy; the fat one, named Xu Xiu, was ranked fifty-second on the Transcendence List, and the thin one, named Liu Zhong, were both celebrated talents of the Dark Night Mansion!

"Want to defeat me? Let's see if you have the skill!"

Chu Ming's face remained calm, showing no emotion, his sword momentum like a storm lying dormant, slowly revealing its radiant glory.

Outside, the powerful figures in the square were all staring intently at the mirror in the sky, afraid to miss any exciting scene.

"Quick, look, Chu Ming has encountered Black Soul!"

An Elder of the Blood Cloud Palace quickly looked at a certain part of the mirror and exclaimed.

With his exclamation, the others immediately noticed the edge of the mirror. The mirror, like a space projection, reflected everything happening in the Celestial Extreme Illusion Realm onto the sky.

"Not just Black Soul, there's also Xu Xiu from the Dark Night Mansion and… Liu Zhong from the Dark Night Mansion?"

When a Martial Artist saw the true faces of the three black shadows, he was instantly shocked. The three black-clad men, including Black Soul, were all ranked within the top hundred on the Transcendence List and were adept at the art of assassination. Their combined strength could rival the top ten on the Transcendence List.

"Chu Ming is in danger now!"

An Inner Sect Elder from the Great Freedom Palace frowned and sighed. The assassination techniques of the Dark Night Mansion were exceedingly strange and hard to defend against. They also had a combined attack array that could double their power. He believed that even Chu Ming would have to be cautious when encountering such an array.

"Master, Junior Brother seems to be in danger!"

The Celestial Travel Sect Leader Yan Nanxing whispered to the Qingxuan King beside him. Although he had reached the sixth layer of the Realm of Transcendence, he still felt a pang of fear when he laid eyes on Black Soul, Xu Xiu, and Liu Zhong.

"Just keep watching!"

A trace of worry flashed in Qingxuan King's eyes, but he continued to observe the mirror with a calm expression.

"Hmph, Chu Ming thinks he can be invincible just because he ranks fifth on the Transcendence List. Little does he know he is merely a frog in a well!"

In the direction of the Blood Cloud Palace, an old man dressed in blood clothes, with white hair and beard, sat in the center of the seats, a sinister glint in his eyes.

Because of Chu Ming, the Blood Cloud Palace had suffered greatly. Not only was their Young Palace Master Bei Yun killed, but their top-tier King, Seven Array King Bei Mo, was also missing. Just recently, the Blood Moon Emperor was angered and injured by the Emperor of Creation, losing face completely. It could be said that among all the powers present, the Blood Cloud Palace harbored the deepest hatred for Chu Ming.

Within the Celestial Extreme Illusion Realm!

Chu Ming quietly stared at Black Soul and the other two, his eyes resembling sword lights traversing the cosmos.

"Arrogant, today you'll taste the might of our Dark Night Mansion's combined attack array!"

Black Soul's eyes grew fiercer, and the forked sword in his hand turned into countless phantom images, disappearing into space. When it reappeared, it had transformed into a blood beam, its sharp aura bursting forth, aiming straight for Chu Ming's neck, the chilling air tearing through the void.

Xu Xiu and Liu Zhong also moved, flanking left and right, holding forked swords and stabbing towards Chu Ming's arms. The fierce winds roared in the air, carving noticeable arcs!

The three stood in a triangle, an invisible force connecting their momentum, linking them as one. Suddenly, their combined power surged.

"Three Swords Nether Array!"

Boom!

On the left, Black Soul suddenly thrust his sword, heavy sword shadows under the combined attack array accelerated sharply, reaching Chu Ming in an instant.

Swoosh!

"Immortal Undying Sword!"

Chu Ming's soul power surged, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and his Blood Dome Sword sliced through the air, creating an indelible mark. A pale golden sword aura burst forth.

Cling!

Blood Dome Sword's tip collided with Black Soul's forked sword, sparks erupted like a fiery rain.

A tremendous force traveled from the forked sword's tip, causing Chu Ming's eyebrows to furrow. His body trembled lightly, instantly dissipating the force from the forked sword. The Blood Dome Sword's blade suddenly turned, slashing towards Black Soul!

Cling cling cling...

At the same moment, heavy sword lights pierced from both directions. The cold sword light made Chu Ming's heart chill, the Blood Dome Sword transformed into an invisible web around him.

At this moment, the three within the Three Swords Nether Array launched continuous attacks, blending into one, transforming into a gray stream rapidly swirling around Chu Ming.

"Dark Light and Shadow Kill!"

Black Soul's forked sword transformed into countless layers of light and shadow, seeming unreal, containing Secrets of Slaughter and Secrets of Darkness, reaching Chu Ming in an instant.

Chu Ming's gaze turned cold, and when Black Soul's attack entered a three-meter radius, his left arm suddenly bent, wild Fire Essence condensed on his left fist, resembling a slowly falling sun.

"Flame of Destruction!"

Boom!

Pu pu pu...

Countless sword lights formed by the Dark Light and Shadow Kill were reduced to ashes under Chu Ming's punch, leaving countless sword scars on the ground.

"Flame of Destruction!"

No sooner had Black Soul caught his breath, Chu Ming's left hand clenched again, his Desolate Power erupted, forming a terrifying red light film, instantly surrounding Black Soul.

Pu!

One strike, Black Soul fell!
