Chương 63: Yang Cheng: Your Imperial Arms? They're mine now!

They're mine now!

As one of the "Elite Seven" among the Empire's assassins, this assassin was naturally displeased to be mocked by an outsider.

However, just as he was preparing to exert force with his arms, break free from Yang Cheng's restraints, and completely pierce Yang Cheng's throat.

The assassin was astonished to find that even though he had used all his strength, and the veins in his arms were bulging, the dagger in his hand could not advance an inch.

As the Empire's "Elite Seven," they have undergone extremely rigorous and devilish training. Even without their Imperial Arms, each of them is an elite assassin capable of taking on a hundred men.

After using the Imperial Arm "Superpower Burst: Balzac", his potential was fully developed, and his speed and strength should have reached a terrifying level.

But now, his power was easily suppressed by the man in front of him!

What kind of creature is it? Is it a super dangerous species?

Yang Cheng, who had grabbed the other's wrist, retaliated with an over-the-shoulder throw, slamming him to the ground in front of him.

The assassin who slammed his back into the ground not only created a huge crater, but also spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing his opponent severely injured, Yang Cheng gripped his long sword tighter, preparing to finish him off.

At the same moment, another assassin, who had completed the release of his Imperial Arms and was wearing a dark blue full-body armor, also wielded his long sword and slashed horizontally at Yang Cheng!

"bite------!"

Seeing the dark blue longsword coming towards him in a waist-slashing motion, Yang Cheng had no choice but to temporarily abandon the idea of piercing the heart of the assassin in front of him and switch from offense to defense, holding the longsword upright in front of him to block the opponent's waist-slashing horizontal strike.

As the longswords clashed, sparks flew from the friction. While blocking the opponent's attack, Yang Cheng was also knocked back several meters.

When Yang Cheng looked at the longsword in his hand again, he discovered that a huge notch had been cut into the blade.

It was obvious that the longsword he was using was merely the standard longsword of an Imperial general, and it had already been chipped in many places when he fought Esdeath before.

Later, while hunting dangerous species, the blade became even more dilapidated.

It's normal that this weapon is somewhat overwhelmed by the clash with the opponent's Imperial Arms.

"Brother, your sword and armor are quite good, but they will soon be mine."

"How arrogant!"

Seeing that Yang Cheng's weapon was already overburdened, the assassin stomped on the ground and charged towards Yang Cheng.

At the same moment, the assassin who had been stunned by Yang Cheng's over-the-shoulder throw finally recovered and said to the killer rushing towards Yang Cheng, "Be careful, his strength is quite astonishing."

"Ding—ding—ding—ding!"

The assassin rushed towards Yang Cheng, brandishing his long sword, and quickly engaged Yang Cheng in a continuous hand-to-hand combat.

Seeing the longsword in Yang Cheng's hand, which was increasingly chipped and even cracked, the other party said sarcastically, "With that longsword of yours, how many more of my blows can you withstand?"

"Ding-dong!"

Finally, under the opponent's heavy blow, Yang Cheng's long sword could no longer withstand the pressure and was cleaved in two.

Seeing this scene, the assassin, one of the Empire's "Elite Seven," revealed a triumphant expression on his face beneath his armor.

He gripped the sword with both hands and delivered a powerful slash, aiming straight for Yang Cheng's head!

"Six Styles: Iron Body!"

"bite------!"

When the "Undead Knight's" blade struck Yang Cheng's arm, producing a crisp metallic clang, the assassin's face clearly showed surprise.

However, before he could be surprised for long, as an assassin, he felt an extremely dangerous sense of death taking over him completely.

Sensing danger, he was originally prepared to retreat.

But he soon discovered that Yang Cheng was holding the blade of the "Undead Knight" tightly with his bare hands.

Just as he hesitated, wondering whether to force his way out or abandon his knife and flee, Yang Cheng had already raised his other hand and pointed his fingers into a claw at his heart!

As an armor-type Imperial Arm, "Undead Knight" has significant drawbacks, but its defensive capabilities are also quite outstanding.

Let alone attacking with bare hands, even a regular blade might not be able to break through the defenses of this Imperial Arm.

Confident in the defensive capabilities of the Imperial Arms "Undead Knight," this Imperial assassin ignored his instincts that sensed danger.

When he saw that a strange, evil dark aura was emanating from Yang Cheng's palm, it was already too late for him to react.

"Death Claws—!"

Devimon's special move is far more powerful than "Finger Pistol" from the Six Powers.

In addition to possessing the same power to easily pierce through another's flesh, the dark aura of the Death Claw can also instantly erode the opponent's life, causing the opponent to die instantly from heart failure!

The armor-type Imperial Arms, which were impervious to swords and blades, were as fragile as paper in front of Yang Cheng, who easily pierced through them.

Only when his heart was crushed did the imperial assassin feel a pang of regret.

If I hadn't been careless, I would still have had a chance.

Because the opponent's weapon broke, and because he was overconfident in the defense of his armor, he ended up being killed by the opponent in one blow.

Even if I die, I will drag you down into the abyss with me!

"Abyss Possession: Undead Knight" is not just an ordinary armor-type Imperial Arm; its true power lies in using souls as nourishment and wielding undead fire...!

The Imperial assassin, whose heart had been crushed by Yang Cheng, suddenly put down his long sword at the last moment before his life was about to end, and instead used his arms to tightly hug Yang Cheng's body.

At the same moment, the armor on his body seemed to come alive, letting out a dragon's roar. After bursting out with brilliant light, dark blue flames also erupted directly from the armor, enveloping Yang Cheng and the other person.

Seeing the two figures enveloped in dark blue flames, another Imperial assassin stood up again and slowly walked towards his target, Najenda.

Although the pursuit operation took an unexpected turn, and he was the only one left alive.

But if the mission is completed... then...

"Pfft—!"

Looking at the longsword "Undead Knight" that had pierced his chest, the Imperial Assassin, who had fallen to his knees, turned to look at the figure behind him with an expression of disbelief.

When the latter saw the expression on the Imperial Assassin's face, he waved his hand to dispel the blue flames on his body and said, "I'm very puzzled as to why I was able to survive."

"Because the power your companion used to burn his soul seems to be of the same type as the power I possess."
