19 Profound Skills

"Hisss!!!"

Sucking in a cold breath from seeing one of his own still in a defending posture despite his head no longer being on top of his neck, Mo Fang quickly ordered the rest of them to move back because he himself had failed to follow Li Feng's movements properly.

"Those who sent you here have greatly underestimated me."

Thinking the same thing which Li Feng had said out loud, Mo Fan began cursing Zhi Yin's eighteen generations.

What the fuck happened to being in the Muscle Forming stage? Li Feng had obviously passed it!

"What happened today was an accident, little brother… And you've already killed one of us…. So how about letting the rest of us go?"

Feeling his skin turn red from embarrassment even as he spoke, Mo Fan couldn't think of anything else he could do to live through the night.

Even though there were nineteen of them, Mo Fan wasn't the optimistic kind who thought they could win due to having an advantage in number.

Not to mention they were assassins who needed to get the job done swiftly.

Even if they managed to wear Li Feng down and finally kill him, what good would that do them with the Royal Family's guard surrounding them on all sides?

Therefore, instead of picking a certain death, Mo Fan wanted to leave as quickly as possible.

Surprised and unable to speak for a few seconds, Li Feng burst out in a loud laughter as if he had just heard the biggest joke ever.

"Mistake? Leave? Have you lost your mind from seeing one of you dead?"

Waving his sword and causing the blade on the blade to fly off of it, Li Feng put on a grin which more than made up for his lacking bloodthirst and killing intent.

Not saying anything else since Mo Fan never expected to be allowed to leave anyway and just tried since you never know what could happen, the group leader nodded towards the rest of them and began signalling them with his hands.

Seeing this, Li Feng didn't wait for Mo Fan to be done and once again slammed his foot on the ground and pounced on the assassin who was the closest to him.

"Shit!"

Cursing under his breath, Mo Fan could only hope that his men understood what he wanted to let them know as Li Feng slashed the sword in his hand once again.

With the moonlight reflecting off of the blade, Yu Yan who was watching everything from the side had to admit that the ending her young master was giving to the assassins was both beautiful and deadly at the same time.

Smiling proudly as another head flew off, Li Feng who had been taking advantage of his raw power found his smile stiffening as his hand which wasn't holding the sword moved on its own.

Pulling the jade fan from where he always placed it by instinct, the fan was spread open and placed in front of his face.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

Hand trembling a little, Li Feng's eyes no longer had any playfulness in them because he would be dead by now if his natural instincts weren't good.

Looking towards the sharp pieces of blades which had been thrown towards him, Li Feng snapped the fan shut and looked towards the remaining eighteen assassins with more seriousness than before.

"You've all successfully angered me."

Moving as he said those words, Li Feng approached his next target and swung his sword with a great power yet clumsily at the same time.

TING!

Boom!

Against all expectations of Li Feng, despite having witnessed what he did, his chosen target didn't retreat and instead met his attack with his Qi covered dagger.

Doing this didn't change the final result though. Even though the sword in Li Feng's hand was not as special as the Soul Replenishing Jade Fan, it was a weapon created in another world due to which it cleanly cut through the small dagger and cut the man diagonally from his shoulder to his waist and killed him.

Still, the man died with a slight smile on his face while feeling that he finally repaid the boss for everything he did for him.

After all, with Li Feng's momentum being shaken off and his centre of balance being shaken due to the impact, his mates were definitely going to take advantage and kill their target, saving all of their families at the same time.

And take advantage they did.

Using all of their strength and not holding back at all, all of the assassins used their Profound Skills.

"The Demon Beheading Dagger!"

"Bone Crushing Punch!"

"Heart Devouring Strike!"

Shouting out the names of their technique one after the other, the remaining eighteen assassins surprisingly showed great harmony by launching all of their attacks on different parts of Li Feng's body with not even two of them attacking the same part causing none of them to get in the way of the others.

Profound Skills, as the name implied, were special techniques which when used by cultivators would let them show off more strength by focussing their power on a single or few aspects.

Be it on attack, defence, movement, or any of the various mystical and unbelievable ways they could be used, using a Profound Skill was always better than not using one.

Starting from the weakest to the strongest, the Profound Skills were of Mortal Grade, Earth Grade and Sky Grade,

The higher grade the Profound Skill was, the more strength the cultivator could use with even going as far as using a few times higher strength than what their raw power could conjure up.

The skills being used on Li Feng though, were all of Mortal Grade.

But, this didn't mean that he could relax in the slightest. With a total of eighteen skills being used on him at the same time, that too when he was off balance, Li Feng for the first time showed signs of panicking and felt the presence of death inching close to him.

In fact, Li Feng could even swear that he could feel death breathing down on his neck as various parts of his body began screaming due to the approaching sensation of cold metal which wanted to slice through them.
