Chapter 817 Heaven's Assassin!

"traitor……"

Shi Hao repeated the word in a low voice, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He didn't know who those traitors were!

But he knew in his heart that those people would have to pay back their debts one day.

He looked up at the gray, hazy void, took a deep breath, and then let out a long howl.

His long roar was like a thunderclap, causing the surrounding void to tremble slightly.

"I, Shi Hao, hereby swear..."

"One day, I will surely return to this ancient ship and completely eradicate all the eeriness and misfortune!"

"I will make those traitors pay the price, and let those fallen heroes rest in peace..."

Shi Hao's voice echoed in the void, carrying a resolute and unwavering tone.

Then, Shi Hao lowered his head, his gaze falling once again on the immortal gold sword embryo in his hand.

The sword was dusty and unremarkable, its blade unsharpened, resembling a rough, unpolished piece.

But he dared not underestimate this sword embryo.

He raised his longsword and examined it carefully in the air, his gaze sharp as lightning, sweeping over every inch of the blade's texture.

However, the more he looked at the sword blank, the more alarmed he became.

He discovered that the sword had patterns and images of flying immortals on its blade.

The patterns seemed to move across the sword like living things.

Sometimes she transforms into a flying fairy, sometimes into a soaring crane, and sometimes into a misty celestial palace and a dazzling galaxy.

Although the images appeared blurry, they exuded an indescribable Daoist charm, as if the sword contained a world within it.

"this……"

Shi Hao was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Under normal circumstances, this sword blank is not yet fully refined; it is just a rough draft and has not yet been sharpened.

But it already has such patterns.

Shi Hao believed he had seen countless divine weapons, but he had never seen such a strange existence.

This sword is probably even more extraordinary than he imagined.

"Whether it's a good sword or not, you'll know once you try it..."

Shi Hao took a deep breath, gripped the sword hilt, and slowly channeled the divine power within his body into the sword.

"--boom!!!"

The moment the divine power surged in, the dusty gray sword blank suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light, as if a sleeping dragon had been awakened.

The flying immortal patterns on the sword began to swirl wildly, raining down light like a sky full of falling stars, even more intense than the sun.

Shi Hao felt as if the sword in his hand had come to life, creating a strange resonance with him.

The sword trembled slightly, emitting a low hum, as if responding to his call.

Shi Hao gripped the sword hilt, swung the sword blank, and gently slashed forward.

"--laugh!!!"

The void was torn apart, and a golden rift appeared out of thin air.

On the other side of the crack, the outlines of three thousand ancient bluestone paths can be vaguely seen.

"Just as I expected..."

Without hesitation, Shi Hao leaped into the crevice.

The crack closed, and Shi Hao's figure completely disappeared into the void.

When Shi Hao opened his eyes again, he was already standing on that familiar ancient bluestone road.

Three thousand bluestone paths stretched out before him, leading to an unknown distance, giving him a feeling of being in another world.

"Is this the cobblestone road? I'm finally back?"

Shi Hao let out a long breath, feeling his tense nerves finally relax a bit.

Just then, several familiar figures flew over from a distance and landed in front of him one by one.

The newcomers were none other than Cao Yusheng, Lin Dong, Luo Feng, Han Li, Qian Renxue, Qin Hao, Taiyin Jade Rabbit, Qingyi, and Feng Wu.

After waiting for Shi Hao in vain in the void ahead, they decided to come back and take a look.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Shi Hao as soon as he returned.

"Brother Shi Hao...when did you get back?"

Lin Dong was the first to rush over, punching Shi Hao on the shoulder, his eyes full of concern: "Are you alright? What was on that ancient ship?"

His gaze fell on Shi Hao, and seeing that he was covered in injuries, his voice lowered involuntarily, "You're injured?"

Shi Hao shook his head and smiled, "I'm fine, I won't die. I'm sorry to have worried you."

"Brother Shi Hao..."

At this moment, Cao Yusheng also came over.

He looked Shi Hao up and down, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Brother Shi Hao, your aura... seems to have changed quite a bit. What happened to you on that ancient ship?"

Just as Shi Hao was about to answer, Cao Yusheng's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted, "Watch out!"

Everyone turned around and saw that several phantom figures had suddenly appeared in the void not far away.

Those phantoms had no physical form, but were formed from transparent mist. Their shapes were blurry, yet they exuded a terrifying aura that made one's heart tremble.

They attacked simultaneously, their killing intent overwhelming, and pounced straight at Shi Hao.

"What is it?"

Lin Dong's expression changed, and he instinctively stepped in front of Shi Hao.

Luo Feng said in a deep voice, "The aura of these phantoms... is very similar to those strange creatures, but not exactly the same. They are more like a mark, a projection left behind."

Han Li remained silent, as he had already taken out his array flags and quickly set up layers of defense around him.

"Whatever it is, they're up to no good. Everyone be careful!"

Shi Hao looked at the phantoms rushing towards him, but there was no fear in his eyes.

He gripped the celestial gold sword embryo in his hand and said in a low voice, "You all step back, let me handle this."

Although everyone was worried, seeing Shi Hao's confident appearance, they still took a few steps back as instructed.

Shi Hao took a deep breath, raised the sword embryo in his hand, and poured his divine power into it.

The sword embryo once again burst forth with dazzling golden light, with flowing immortal patterns and a shower of light.

Then, he raised his longsword, and a golden sword light slashed out like a bolt of lightning, meeting the several illusory figures.

"--boom!!!"

The sword light collided with the afterimage, instantly unleashing a deafening roar.

The phantoms trembled violently amidst the sword light, emitting mournful cries, before rapidly melting away like scorched ice and snow.

The ancient bluestone road has returned to tranquility.

Shi Hao sheathed his sword and stood there, his gaze sweeping over the places where the afterimages had disappeared, a knowing glint in his eyes.

"These phantoms... are not strange creatures."

Upon hearing this, everyone else was stunned.

These aren't eerie creatures?

What is that thing?

"They're assassins from Heaven..."

Just when everyone was at a loss, Qingyi's voice suddenly came from the crowd.

Everyone looked over at the sound, only to see Qingyi still talking to herself: "I once fought with several people from the Heavenly Kingdom at the Heavenly Immortal Academy, and I know their background well. The one who just ambushed you should be from that force..."

Feng Wu, gritting her teeth, chimed in, "Qingyi is right. Those people from the Heavenly Kingdom are experts in assassination. It seems they've already got their eyes on you!"
