Chapter 668: Cai’er’s Domain of Purification (I)

Being the chief elder of the Assassin Temple, how could the experienced Xue Zhisheng not be able to tell out the changes on the others? Just as Cai’er had said, strength was the greatest factor of authority. Moreover, she wielded the symbolic Saint Dagger of Samsara, giving her an extreme importance inside the Assassin Temple. Adding Sheng Yue’s support of her to that, if this went on, his control over the elders would surely suffer a huge blow.

The reason why Xue Zhisheng had such backing in the Assassin Temple naturally had its basis, stemming first of all from the consideration behind his decision for the Assassin Temple.

At the same time, he had his own selfish motives. The head of the Mage Temple Li Zhengzhi had given him the promise that if he managed to get the Assassin Temple to remain neutral, after the new Alliance gets established, he’d be given a high position in this new Alliance. Don’t think that because of his old age, his thirst for authority would have lightened. Perhaps he was even more thirsty for the unobtainable.

Right now, it looked that Sheng Yue and Cai’er were about to regain control of the situation, so he naturally wouldn’t leave the matter at that. Snorting coldly, he suddenly let a huge blast of imposing manner burst out from him, catching the attention of everyone present here.

“Very well. Then let this man try out, to see whether you are qualified to undertake the heavy responsabilities of the Saint Daughter of Samsara. If you win, I will unconditionally support all your future decisions, as well as be in favor of you replacing Sheng Yue. But if you lose, stay secluded in our Temple for a few more years, and you can take duty in some high position after you gain sufficient strength.”

No matter what one may say, Xue Zhengzhi was a higher-up from the Assassin Temple. After a short time of fury, he gained some knowledge of Cai’er from Sheng Yue’s explanation. Of course, he understood that Cai’er’s presence would very possibly make a new glorious future arise for the Asssassin Temple, so, right now, his speech was a lot lighter. Of course, he did not believe that the current Cai’er had enough capability, after all, she was still so young. His current hope was to gain control over the current Assassin Temple and gain a better standing in the new Alliance. As for the future, it should be left to the youngsters of Cai’er’s generation.

That is why Zhisheng decided to accept Cai’er’s challenge and prove himself with strength, in order to maintain his support among these fickle assassins.

Sheng Yue did not evenq take Xue Zhisheng in his eye, a light smile coming in to view on his severe face. That’s because he knew that at the time Cai’er brought the Assassin Temple’s higher-ups there, Xue Zhisheng had already lost. He didn’t lose in cultivation, but in age and future. Even if he didn’t take part anymore, Cai’er’s supporters would only keep growing more and more. As for this battle, no matter whether it ends as a win or a loss, Cai’er had already made a real impact on the people, making her control over the Assassin Temple only a matter of time.

Xue Zhisheng’s figure sparkled slightly, then his figure disappeared, and the next instant he appeared at a distance of twenty meters from Cai’er. His awe-inspiring look was directed at her like a viper eyeing its prey, his hands placed behind his back and showing a unwavering face.

“Make your move then.” As a powerhouse of higher generation, Xue Zhisheng was four generations ahead of Cai’er, so attacking the first was not something he could do.

Cai’er responded with a light smile, “Then you better take care.”

The Sickle of the Goddess of Light lightly paused on the ground, and the pure white light of purification spread to all directions, giving off a feeling of electricity hovering through the whole sky. Cai’er’s Sickle of the Goddess of Light strucked under these circumstances.

Right at the same time as Cai’er made her move, Xue Zhisheng’s body disappeared, leaving only light silver remnants behind.

That was the highest powerhouse of the Assassin Temple, an assassin wielding space attribute, not someone who speaks casually, but one with real great strength.

When Cai’er’s blow landed and gave off the feeling that she was in a disadvantageous position, a miraculous change took place.

The Sickle of the God of Death rapidly traced a shifting arc, and at the same time, Cai’er’s whole body turned into a white color, and the Sickle of the God of Death had a huge blade extension attached

First of the seven arts of the God of Death, Death in Childhood.

Dang. A figure was pushed away in midair.

At the same time that huge white blade swept past the empty space, Xue Zhisheng fortunately appeared at its weakest spot.

Having just crossed space through instant shift to face such a terrible blow, Xue Zhisheng was really pressured greatly as one may well imagine.

The killing intent originally swarming out from Cai’er seemed to have disappeared, but the immense Sickle of the God of Death in her hand felt about to slice Xue Zhisheng

A pair of silvery white daggers with an orange tint came to block off that white glow, as he took on a soul shock, dispersing rapidly his spatial spiritual energy, as his spiritual highland unexpectedly got dispersed upon contact with that white blade.

Attribute suppression.

That was the absolute suppression of the purification attribute in front of spatial attribute.

Xue Zhisheng clearly felt that Cai’er’s spiritual energy was below his to some extent, but under the attack of that huge white blade, he saw with shock the bluish and purplish sickle follow him tightly while being sent flying, striking his pair of daggers fiercely.

Relying on his pair of daggers of epic tier, Xue Zhicheng could parry the attack of the light of purification, but the instant they clashed against the opponent’s weapon, Xue Zhicheng felt his body shiver like he’d been electrocuted, finding out with shock that cracks were appearing lightning fast on his daggers. Although this attack was not enough to destroy the daggers of epic tier, what about the next one?

His figure flashing past, Xue Zhicheng disappeared once again, but Cai’er didn’t pursue the attack, standing calmly on the same spot. A drizzling fog spread outwards, growing alongside lotus flowers petals. In the midst of these petals, she simply looked like a fairy.

Everywhere those petals passed, a thin white fog was produced in the air, not dense enough to obstruct the field of vision, and not even acting on the senses, but this white fog gave off a feeling of terror hard to describe.

The petals stopped after spreading out to a diameter of thirty meters, and didn’t envelop the rest of the assassins.

A domain! That was clearly a domain; the twenty or so years old Cai’er actually really managed to wield a domain of her own, and that was a domain with uses that no one was able to recognize.

Domains were of different types, with no completely identical ones. Common knowledge would generally want assassin domains to be expert in single targeted attacks, as assassins would usually be the strongest on a small scale. Cai’er’s domain was also of rather small scale among assassins’ domains. But the smaller the scale, the greater the burst power coming along.

The unknown was the most terrifying. Precisely because no one understood the effects of Cai’er’s domain, it gave off a feeling of reverence.

Both Cai’er’s currently displayed domain and the attack that sent off Xue Zhicheng were sufficient for her to prove her own strength to the higher-ups from the Assassin Temple more than enough. No matter how this fight would end, her backers would in no way be few.

Sheng Yue’s smile became even more accentuated. After being away for over four years, not only did Cai’er’s strength grow to a shocking level, but even her temperament made enormous progress. She did not simply fight to win against Xue Zhicheng, but most all to make a show for further the higher-ups assassins’ approval of her.

Right at this time, twelve brilliant silver gates appeared suddenly in the domain surrounding Cai’er, including even herself inside.

This Twelve Spaces Domain was the domain of the Assassin Temple’s elders’ chief Xue Zhicheng, another domain fitting individual battles the most, a powerful domain of spatial attribute.

While raised up, these twelve silver colored spatial gates immediately blocked off the view of the other assassins. By chance, this place was tall enough for them to liberate spiritual wings of their own, rising high in the battlefield.

Facing the Twelve Spaces Domain, Cai’er was still standing quietly in the middle and making no movements. These petals kept spreading outwards and releasing a white halo, as she seemed to be just calmly waiting.

Suddenly, a silver ray instantly burst forth from the spatial gate, travelling too fast to be followed with one’s eyes. As it flashed, the opposite silver colored gate of light disappeared at once.

The Twelve Spaces Domain’s greatest trait was its encirclement. Someone who gets caught inside this domain couldn’t possibly escape without beating or getting beaten by Xue Zhisheng.

It was called Twelve Spaces domain because of the twelve superpositioned spatial gates giving rise to this domain: twelve spaces overlapping each other should in normal times not be achievable by any means, but this domain’s spatial effects made this possible. In there, escaping through spatial abilities or even passing through space would not be possible either, It looked that these spaces had no floor, but actually, Cai’er was absolutely incapable of flight at the very moment.

At the same time, Xue Zhisheng’s attacks would be greatly amplified by the effects of the domain’s overlaps. Their speed as well as destructive power would reach terrifying levels.

Ten years ago, Xue Zhisheng relied on the Twelve Spaces Domain to vanquish a demon god ranked in the top forty, giving a great boost to his reputation as well as making him known as the number one of the Assassin Temple.

Right now, Cai’er and her domain with ineffable effects were all surrounded by the Twelve Spaces Domain, giving rise to a far from good situation.
