Before the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, the battle continued.
Just as the Killing Path King prepared to repeat his old trick for the third time, forcefully attacking Shen Ye to compel Crow King to come to his rescue, he discovered that Crow King had suddenly shifted away at high speed when he reached his side.
Has he finally given up on that unrealistic idea of saving him? the Killing Path King thought. He was about to seize the chance to reap Shen Ye's life when he suddenly noticed that Azure Flood Dragon King and the young girl beside Shen Ye had vanished, seemingly taken into a magical artifact.
At the sight, an inexplicable unease surged through his heart!
At this moment, he was only thirty-odd meters away from Shen Ye.
For a Dao Severing King, that distance could be crossed in an instant.
Yet he still made his decision at once—retreat!
From a minor assassin to an Assassin King, this instinct had saved him many times. Even though the person before him was merely a tiny Dao Palace cultivator, he retreated without the slightest hesitation!
A qualified assassin would never be bound by so-called dignity, honor, or disgrace!
However, he had been moving too fast!
In the instant he made his decision, inertia had already carried him into the area within thirty meters of Shen Ye!
Then, before his horrified eyes, his longsword, right hand, and even half his body were instantly obliterated!
Before he had time to think about what had happened, a streak of light rushed out from within the Killing Path King. It was a substitute puppet body refined from a Dao Palace deity.
The Dao Palace deity was annihilated the instant it appeared!
Though it died incredibly fast, it had ultimately bought him a chance to escape!
