SHIINK!
The void rippled.
A dark blade appeared at an impossibly cunning angle, thrusting toward Su Ye!
The timing of this strike was perfect, chosen for the exact moment after Su Ye's all-out attack—a moment when his old power was spent, but before new power could be gathered!
Even though the Spiritual Mechanism Immortal Dao didn't rely on an Inner Strength Qi Mechanism like mortal martial arts, Su Ye's last attack had carried the force of a blizzard, channeling all his killing intent to its absolute peak. With that unstoppable power, he had obliterated Lie Lin in a single blow!
After such an exhilarating strike, even with his level of cultivation, he would inevitably need a few moments to recover and regulate his breathing.
At the same time, after slaying a great enemy, no matter how disciplined one's mind, a momentary lapse in vigilance was unavoidable.
And that created the perfect opportunity for an assassination.
SHHNK!
