The Shadowless Thief looked at Luo Cheng with a face full of shock and anger, no longer as composed as before.
He had broken through to the Sixth Layer of the Transcendence Realm a month ago!
A Martial Artist of the Transcendence Realm Fifth Layer couldn’t possibly knock him back with a single punch!
He assud Luo Cheng must have used so ans to deliberately hide his cultivation!
Luo Cheng calmly shook his head, "I didn’t hide my cultivation."
Upon hearing this, a look of astonishnt flashed across Yang Zhixuan’s eyes.
Challenging a Sixth Layer Transcendence Realm Martial Artist without falling behind while only at the Fifth Layer!
Such a talent capable of battling above his rank was rarely seen, even among the Three Great Sects.
"Hmph, whether or not you’re hiding your cultivation, you’ll die today, no doubt!"
The Shadowless Thief growled coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Luo Cheng’s strength truly surprised him.
However, he was rely careless just now; besides his cultivation, he hadn’t yet used his stronger cards!
Buzz!
As the Shadowless Thief let out a cold snarl, a green mass of wind gathered behind him, with four stars shimring within.
"So it’s a Wind Attribute Martial Soul."
Seeing the Martial Soul of the Shadowless Thief, Luo Cheng was enlightened.
The attribute of a Martial Artist’s awakened Martial Soul often determined their talent.
For instance, a Martial Artist who awakens a Sword Martial Soul would have increased efficiency in learning swordsmanship.
A Martial Artist with a Fire Attribute Martial Soul usually has much greater attack power than others at the sa level!
A Wind Attribute Martial Soul would make a Martial Artist unrivaled in speed.
As far as Luo Cheng knew, when cultivation reached a certain realm, a Martial Artist could awaken Lifebound Soul Skills through their Martial Soul!
"Boy, go die!"
Upon releasing his Martial Soul, the Shadowless Thief charged forth violently.
This ti, his speed surpassed all expectations, his entire silhouette transforming into a green afterimage, instantly closing in on Luo Cheng.
"Desire Wind Continuous Slash!"
Maximizing his speed, the Shadowless Thief repeatedly swung his dagger at Luo Cheng, striking thirteen tis in an instant!
"Watch out!"
Seeing the ferocity of the Shadowless Thief’s attack, Yang Zhixuan couldn’t help but exclaim.
At this mont, the Shadowless Thief’s assault, in terms of both speed and power, was much stronger than when he fought her; it was as if he had beco a different person!
If the Shadowless Thief hadn’t held back earlier, she might not have lasted even ten moves.
"Competing in speed?"
Luo Cheng had never used Mist Shadow Step in actual combat before, and intrigued, he imdiately applied it.
Swish-swish-swish-swish...
With a light touch at the tip of his toes, Luo Cheng’s feet beca a blur, and his entire body moved like a swimming fish, weaving through the Shadowless Thief’s storm-like attacks.
"Boy, you think you can compete with in speed? You’re still too green!"
The Shadowless Thief had slain several Sixth Layer Transcendence Realm Martial Artists using his movent technique, and he didn’t believe anyone in the Transcendence Realm could be faster than him!
"Desire Wind Shadow Slash!"
With an angry shout, the Shadowless Thief’s attack grew faster, seeming to rge into the wind.
From the side, it appeared as if several Shadowless Thieves were besieging Luo Cheng, the cold gleam of multiple daggers forming a streak of lightning that was overwhelmingly domineering!
Luo Cheng remained expressionless, fully executing Mist Shadow Step, maneuvering through the fierce attacks of the Shadowless Thief effortlessly!
"This... this is the Xuanyuan Sect’s Five-star Body Technique, Mist Shadow Step!"
Yang Zhixuan recognized the movent technique Luo Cheng employed, which greatly surprised her.
No wonder she was so shocked.
Generally speaking, only Martial Artists at the Third Stage of the Tongxuan Realm could train in Body thod Martial Arts.
Luo Cheng, being just the Fifth Layer of the Transcendence Realm, mastering a Five-star Level Mist Shadow Step, was simply breaking the norm!
"Where did this freak co from! To actually keep up with my speed!"
The Shadowless Thief gritted his teeth in frustration.
He had trained in Body thod Martial Arts and possessed a Wind Attribute Martial Soul, allowing him to outpace Martial Artists of the sa level, yet today he stumbled before a re youngster!
At this mont, Luo Cheng spoke.
"Is this your full strength, I wonder?"
The Shadowless Thief’s speed was quick, but there was a notable gap compared to the Mist Shadow Step.
After battling for so ti, Luo Cheng lost interest and prepared to end it, seizing the opportunity in the Shadowless Thief’s attack interval to throw a casual punch.
Bang!
As the punch was thrown, the air was compressed into a transparent shape by a trendous force, with a fierce sonic boom echoing like thunder.
"Not good!"
Feeling the power contained in this punch, the Shadowless Thief’s face changed drastically. Not daring to take it head-on, he pushed his speed to the limit, evading with all his might.
Bang bang bang!
rely grazed by the punch’s shockwave, the Shadowless Thief couldn’t maintain his stance, retreating three steps, with a new bloody cut appearing on his face.
"This guy is formidable! I’m no match for him!"
The Shadowless Thief was horrified. Within a split second of thought, he suddenly lunged toward the Han Family’s lady, Han Qing, intending to capture her as a shield to make his escape!
Everyone was imrsed in the intense battle between Luo Cheng and the Shadowless Thief, never expecting the Shadowless Thief to suddenly target Han Qing, catching them all off guard.
"Ah!"
Han Qing, only at the Body Refining Realm, was weak. She rely saw a blur before her, and the Shadowless Thief had already arrived in front, leaving her petrified.
"Little beauty, co with for a walk!"
The Shadowless Thief sneered coldly, reaching to grab Han Qing’s neck.
The next mont.
Ching!
A dazzling sword light flashed, illuminating the entire courtyard for an instant. The Shadowless Thief’s outstretched hand paused in mid-air.
A blood-stained sword tip protruded from his neck.
"When did you..."
The Shadowless Thief painfully turned his head, only to see Luo Cheng, in a white robe, standing behind him at so point.
Luo Cheng said plainly, "Competing in speed with , you’re still too green."
As he finished speaking, Luo Cheng flicked his wrist, raising the long sword.
Splurt!
A spray of blood erupted, and the Shadowless Thief’s head tumbled to the ground, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief!
Luo Cheng calmly sheathed his sword. In terms of overall strength, the Shadowless Thief was no match even for a Sha Qi; his speed was rely a bit faster.
Luo Cheng estimated the Shadowless Thief’s ultimate speed to be only about seventy to eighty percent of his speed.
Of course, this was rely without using Essence Energy.
If Luo Cheng used Essence Energy to execute Mist Shadow Step, his speed would increase by several tis, leaving the Shadowless Thief far behind!
For Luo Cheng, killing the Shadowless Thief was a matter of a single thought. He didn’t kill the thief imdiately, partly to avoid revealing too much, and partly to gain more real combat experience.
"The Shadowless Thief is dead!"
Only now did the people in the courtyard co to their senses. As they looked at the headless body of the Shadowless Thief, each was stunned and gazed at Luo Cheng in awe.
All they saw was the Shadowless Thief about to strike Han Qing!
Then, with a flash of sword light, the Shadowless Thief was dead!
Without even having a chance to react!
Han Qing, having survived the ordeal, finally collected herself, and looking at Luo Cheng, a gleam of gratitude shone in her eyes. "Thank you, sir, for saving Han Qing’s life," she said.
"It’s really nothing, just a small effort,"
Luo Cheng casually replied, dismissing Han Qing’s gratitude, and walked over to the Shadowless Thief’s body.
As a robber and notorious thief, he carried the lives of dozens, and thus must have substantial wealth on him.
More importantly, Luo Cheng wanted to know how the Shadowless Thief concealed his own aura.
If he could master this technique, he would undoubtedly navigate the martial world with greater ease, significantly enhancing his survival chances!
