Down the cliff

Since he felt that Xifeng and Meirong were at a disadvantage, Jian Shen who didn't plan to get in close combat fight with the assassins who surrounded him, he three the two swords in his hands towards the two women.

Having learnt that the two swords could protect anyone only when they were near them, Jian Shen despite knowing that Qingyu and Juewang wouldn't like what he did hoped that they could keep the women safe and help them win while he took care of the assassins.

What he failed to notice however was the smirk on He Xing's face as soon as he did so.

Summoning the Ten Elemental Sword Domain to surround everyone on the cliff including Meirong, Xifeng, the blonde-haired woman and He Xing along with the assassins here to kill him, Jian Shen quickly got to work.

Since he wasn't fighting against a single person but a group of near hundred assassins that were all in the Soul Splitting Realm, Jian Shen instead of going on the offence directly chose to surround himself with the element of metal to defend against the attacks.

After all, even if he was confident in killing 90% of the assassins within a second, which he wasn't, Jian Shen couldn't be sure that the other 10% would just stand around and not take the chance in attacking him while he was distracted.

Grunting slightly as one of the assassins that was sent to test the waters slashed at the liquid metal surrounding him, Jian Shen did his best to hide the fact that doing so was causing damage to his soul.

And to do this, Jian Shen quickly summoned a sword made from the element of Space and split the assassin into two pieces before he could run away and reveal the details to anyone else.

At the same time, he involuntarily made the remaining assassins take a step back due to seeing what would happen if they chose to attack him one by one.

Taking a rough estimate of how many assassins there were in total, Jian Shen didn't feel bothered to find out about each of the assassins races as he started to go on the offence.

Instead of starting with a less number of swords, Jian Shen in a single move created a total of fifty swords.

Each of them was made out of a combination of Fire, Wind and Lightning which Jian Shen found to be the most ideal combination out of all the ten elements.

As for why he only made fifty of them and not enough to try and kill every single one of the assassins, it was because controlling more than fifty swords was really difficult and trying to do so in such a situation would be more disadvantageous to Jian Shen.

After all, if he ended up losing control over the swords which he was using to attack because his mind was occupied with the intention to control the other swords, he'd just end up wasting his reserves of Qi which were quickly being exhausted from being used to sustain the Ten Elemental Sword Domain.

Not forgetting about his trademark move even in such a situation, Jian Shen snapped his fingers the same way he did during his fight with Xu Long.

Making the fifty already created swords move as soon as he snapped his fingers, Jian Shen used all of his concentration to attack the fifty of the assassins that were the closest to him.

Boom!

"Aaaaaaa....!"

"Runnnn!"

Quickly turning the entire place a huge mess due to the sounds of various explosions along with the mournful and painful screams of the assassins who weren't killed by the attacks, Jian Shen soon started feeling confident in taking care of all the assassins by himself.

Creating fifty more swords out of the same combination, Jian Shen found himself once again surprised at how much Qi he was using to do all of this.

Still, he didn't hold back and let his Qi be used however needed because he wanted to finish his fight against the assassins as soon as possible and then go to help Xifeng and Meirong.

"He can only use fifty of those swords at once! As long as all of us attack at the same time, we'll definitely manage to kill him!"

Not taking too long to figure it out, the assassins who compared to the beginning only had less than half of them still alive decided to be bold.

Even if it meant a lot of them would die, it was all fine as long as at least a few of them managed to survive and killed Jian Shen to avenge the deaths of the others.

Smirking from how stupid they were to think that a suicide attack would work against him, Jian Shen this time created more than fifty swords without holding back to attack all of the assassins that were running towards him.

Since he didn't need to control each and every one of them to accurately find the assassins to attack them, Jian Shen after creating the swords had all of them fly straight ahead where there was at least one assassin waiting to receive the sword with a shocked but given up expression as they were all ready to die since the moment they decided to go all out.

After all, all of them were thinking that at least a few of them would survive and take Jian Shen down by finally entering the range of close combat with him.

Unfortunately, none of them at the moment knew that every single one of them was behaving the same way as they were and dying.

"Humph! You should have made better preparations if you wanted to kill me, He Xing. Now it's... "

"It's time for you to die."

Appearing in front of Jian Shen out of nowhere, He Xing put his superior cultivation to the best use by evading the sword less Jian Shen's senses.

Once he appeared there, He Xing didn't waste a moment and punched Jian Shen's straight in the stomach using all of his cultivation to kill him instantly.
