Ye Tian's voice was low and sinister as an evil spirit's, devouring souls and seizing spirits like a wicked god of the netherworld.
The Shadowblood Assassin was drenched in sweat. Completely restrained, he could not circulate even a trace of the mana within him; it had been sealed outright. His heart and liver trembled with overwhelming terror.
His pupils contracted into pinpoints. Only now did he understand how terrifying Ye Tian was.
His former self had been utterly laughable, so naive that he had actually believed the rumors were false.
Yet Ye Tian's true strength was enough to crush him to death with a single finger.
Regret was useless now. He could only learn to watch where he stepped in his next life.
Light flickered above Ye Tian's palm, its sharp brilliance fully exposed. In a single instant, the Shadowblood Assassin lost consciousness, his eyes going blank as his soul was utterly destroyed. He fell stiffly to the ground.
"To rank among the finest of the Assassin Dynasty's younger generation at such a young age, with strength that towers over the world... quite impressive indeed."
"Unfortunately, you were blind enough to cross me."
Ye Tian sighed as he spoke, shaking his hand. Looking at the Shadowblood Assassin's corpse on the ground, he reached out and flicked it. Its quality was quite good; it had been nourished with precious medicines and Fierce Beast blood since childhood.
If he could turn it into a puppet under his control, it would be useful for assassination missions in the future.
After all... his Eternal Heavenly Court needed to be well organized, equipped for alchemy, artifact forging, and every other function.
Deathsworn and assassins were naturally indispensable as well.
