The shield only lasted for a second before it shattered under yang Shaowen's attack, revealing the assassin in black. Before Lin Yi could even stand still, the assassin dodged yang Shaowen and attacked Lin Yi again.
"You're looking for death!" Yang Shaowen was furious. He was an expert of the consummate level of earth-splitting realm, but this guy dared to ignore him?
The moisture in the air condensed instantly, forming a dense number of fine needles around yang Shaowen. They surrounded the masked man in Black like a large school of swimming fish, launching a continuous attack.
The masked man's speed was extremely fast, and yang Shaowen's normal attacks couldn't catch up to him, but these water-element needles covered a large area. Unless one had the speed of Lin Yi's lightning escape technique, there was no way to escape.
"Who are you? You actually chased me out of the palace to assassinate me!" Lin Yi shouted as he threw out a wild fire Bagua Palm. It was quite loud, but he knew that it wouldn't have much effect on the assassin.
Although he did not know who had sent the assassin in black, it was obvious that the Vermilion Bird and The White Tiger were the only two forces in the entire spirit beast clan that had the ability to send such an expert.
What was wrong with those people? they actually sent assassins to deal with him and even chased him out of the palace.
The masked Assassin's strength was not inferior to yang Shaowen 's, and his sneak attack power was much stronger than yang Shaowen' s. However, it was not easy for him to break through yang Shaowen's defense in an instant.
As for Lin Yi, the assassin didn't treat him as a normal practitioner-he'd already demonstrated his strength in the palace, and that was enough to threaten the assassin. One mistake and he'd be killed.
Yang Shaowen and Lin Yi joining hands to fight, the assassin immediately knew that he couldn't do it. He'd only get himself into trouble if he continued to delay, so he turned around and left the battle after a feint.
If he missed, he would flee a thousand miles away! This was the basic Code of Conduct for every top-notch assassin. The black-clothed masked assassin was an expert. If he wanted to leave, yang Shaowen, who was at the same level as him, would not be able to stop him.
With a slight sway of his body, the masked assassin immediately created three doppelgangers. Together with his original body, he fled in four directions at the same time. It was unknown if there were any restrictions on his concealment technique, but this time, he did not use it again.
Yang Shaowen was slightly stunned. The four original bodies and doppelgangers of the masked assassin in black could pass off as the real one. Even their auras were exactly the same. He could not tell the real one from the fake.
It would be difficult for yang Shaowen to intercept even one of them, let alone four at the same time. It would be an impossible task.
"Playing with clones? I'm not afraid of you!" Lin Yi shouted, secretly happy. He was looking for an opportunity, but now he could execute his plan.
Wood forest thousand transformation! Hundreds of Lin Yi's clones appeared at the same time, surrounding the area in an instant. The Man in Black was much faster than yang Shaowen, but he was still far behind Lin Yi.
Lin Yi's doppelgangers weren't as strong as his real body, but they weren't that much weaker in terms of lightning movement. With each tiny lightning arc, at least twenty to thirty Lin Yi's appeared next to each assassin and attacked them at the same time.
"Amazing!" Yang Shaowen couldn't help but exclaim. He didn't expect Lin Yi to be this strong.
However, yang Shaowen immediately realized that these clones were very weak. Lin Yi was no match for the assassin in black to begin with, let alone his clones. Even if the assassin didn't put up any defense and let Lin Yi's clones attack him, they might not be able to break his defense.
The only good thing was that the Assassin's doppelgangers were all illusions, completely different from the thousand forest changes. So under the attack of Lin Yi's doppelgangers, three of them disappeared instantly, leaving only the real body. After easily wiping out a dozen of Lin Yi's doppelgangers, he continued to speed up and escape.
"Elder Lin, stop him. I'll help!" Yang Shaowen didn't dare to delay and immediately followed after Lin Yi. As long as the assassin was stopped for a breath or two, he was confident that he could hold him back. With Lin Yi's help, it wasn't impossible to kill this assassin.
"Forget it, don't chase after a desperate enemy!" Lin Yi waved his hand, calling yang Shaowen back.
It wasn't that Lin Yi didn't want to deal with the assassin, but his opponent's attack power was too strong. Lin Yi's clones would disappear immediately when they touched the aftershock. They couldn't block the attack at all.
Lin Yi's speed was fast, but he couldn't stop the killer. It was useless no matter how fast he was. Plus, Lin Yi had already achieved his goal, so he didn't want yang Shaowen to continue the meaningless pursuit.
Mulin's thousand transformations clones disappeared one by one, leaving only the strongest one behind. Lin Yi's real body had already used red dust manifestation as a disguise and left the scene in the chaos.
"Elder Lin, why did you let that guy go? if we let him escape so easily, it will only be more troublesome when he comes back next time!" Yang Shaowen was very upset that he couldn't stop the assassin in black immediately, but he had to listen to Lin Yi's orders because of Xiao Yan.
"My clone can't stop him at all, and your speed isn't enough to catch up to him. It's just a waste of time if you continue. If he splits us up because of this, wouldn't it be even more dangerous?" Lin Yi's clone smiled faintly and came up with an excuse.
Yang Shaowen was so focused on the assassin that he didn't notice Lin Yi's tricks and didn't know who Lin Yi was.
"Elder Lin is right. Let's let him off for now!" Yang Shaowen shook his head helplessly. He then frowned and said,""This Man in Black is very strong, and his martial arts techniques are very unique. It shouldn't be hard to find out his background. Should we put this clue as a priority?"
"You're right. An assassin with such strength can't be a nobody in the spirit beast clan. It should be easy to find out who he is. If we find him, we'll find the mastermind behind this!" Lin Yi nodded. Unfortunately, he had limited connections in the spirit beast clan and didn't know when the big fire Lion would return.
This damn thing, the previous Azure Dragon, was really incompetent. He didn't know anything when asked. He had probably put all his heart into cultivation and researching the array Dao. He didn't even care about this kind of ordinary spirit beast in his eyes.
