  “Worthy of a Sword Immortal’s disciple.” A lithe figure also stepped out of the dark. Her voice was extremely flirtatious, almost as if it could melt a person entirely into jelly.

  “You are the first person to catch my Six-bladed Flying Flower barehanded.” There was another girl in red clothes and in her hands, she was holding a Six-bladed Flying Flower. She looked at Xiao Se with great interest.

  The man with the great sword on his back laughed. “We’ve been waiting for the two of you for a while.”


  Xiao Se looked at the three uniquely dressed people in front of him, and lowered his voice. “Hidden River.”


  “They are Hidden River?” Lei Wujie’s back was already drenched with sweat. Of course he had heard of the Hidden River. They were the most famous assassin organisation in the martial world, but their names did not appear on the assassins ranking list. It wasn’t because they weren’t strong enough, but because they were too strong, never leaving behind a trace. That’s why people only knew, in this world, there was a hidden river and if you followed this hidden river to its source, you would find the most famous assassin organisation in the martial world, but you would never meet the most dangerous assassins that never divulged their names.

  “That’s right, we are the Hidden River.” The man with the great sword nodded. “My surname is Su, Su Changli of Su House.”


  Xiao Se snickered and lazily remarked, “I don’t think I’ve heard of this name.”


  Su Changli drew the great sword from his back and held it in his hand. “The reason I’m telling you my name is because you’re about to die.”


  Lei Wujie raised his head and looked at the treetop. “The other two are also Hidden River?”


  Su Changli did not show any fear from being exposed and he continued with a smile, “Yes, the two of them, as well as the lady with the paper butterflies over there, we’re all Hidden River. There are six of us. In the Hidden River, six people grouped together form a web. We call this web——”


  “The Web of Absolute Death.” The lady in white released the last paper butterfly in her hand and completed the sentence.

  Butterfly Transformation.

  All the paper butterflies flew in a frenzy towards Lei Wujie and Xiao Se.

  “Lei Wujie!” Xiao Se shouted.

  In an instant, Lei Wujie released his qi, and his red clothes fluttered without wind.

  Blazing Arts - Fire Source Realm.

  Lei Wujie raised his Murderous Dread sword and sent a sword move. The paper butterflies ignited in midair, and were burnt to ashes in an instant. “Xiao Se, it’s exciting, come to think of it. Last time, we wandered the martial world and the first opponent we met was also an assassin. Back then, we had da-shixiong to look out for us, but this time, we can only rely on ourselves!”


  “Wrong.” Xiao Se shook his head slightly.

  “How so?” Lei Wujie didn’t understand.

  Xiao Se sighed softly. “You can only rely on yourself.” With that, Xiao Se abandoned Lei Wujie, and like an arrow released from a bow, he shot ahead, passed the lady in white, and sped towards the exit of the gorge. He was extremely fast. Even the stoic lady in white had a measure of astonishment in her eyes.

  “This is the Cloud Step?” Su Changli looked on coldly, his voice just as cold. “Xie Hui, Xie Ling. Go after him.”


  The tree top fluttered a little and two shadows flashed passed, heading in Xiao Se’s direction. They were equally fast.

  Lei Wujie sighed and shook his head. “I’m always abandoned at the critical time.”


  Su Changli laughed. “That friend of yours has even and weak breaths. He obviously has no martial arts. But, where could he have learned the world’s number one lightness skill, Cloud Step? Without internal energy, he could master a lightness skill to a top level realm. He purposely drew our allies away to give you a chance. Except, you’re just one person. Can you defeat four of us?”


  Lei Wujie laughed bitterly. “We really can’t fight one on one?”


  Su Changli shook his head. “We’re killers. We’re not here to compare our strengths; we’re here to kill you.”


  Lei Wujie thought about it. “Someone once said those same words to me.”


  “Who?” Su Changli asked.

  “The lunar maiden bids with a smile, the nether duke kills in fury,” Lei Wujie replied.

  Su Changli nodded and spoke slowly. “I’ve heard of them.” The assassin duo who were ranked among the top five in the martial world’s assassins ranking list. Yet in his mouth, they were merely “heard of”.

  The lady in white suddenly spoke up, “Changli, you talk too much.”


  Su Changli shrugged. “It’s so rare to meet such an interesting young fellow, and he’s going to die really soon. Can’t you let me say a few more words? Besides, if I didn’t stall for time by talking, would you have been able to complete your Dream Butterfly Array so quickly?”


  Lei Wujie was taken aback. He suddenly realised the butterflies which had been burnt to ashes were emitting an eerie light, and slowly, started to float again.

  “However, my friend, you are really lucky. You’ve actually encountered an opponent who loves to handle their affairs by themselves. But, you are also very unlucky. You’re about to die without a sound.” Su Changli watched the butterflies, and the corner of his mouth curved in a dubious smile.

  “In the night, Zhuang Zhou dreamt he was a butterfly, it was such a vivid butterfly. He was so happy, he didn’t know himself. When he woke up, he was puzzled and moved. He didn’t know if he was dreaming of being a butterfly, or if the butterfly was dreaming of being him? The butterfly and him, they must be different. Yet in the end, all is one,” the lady in white recited slowly as she turned her body and sent Lei Wujie a look.

  Su Changli withdrew a step, his entire person appeared to blend into the surroundings. As for the two ladies, they also slowly became less visible. Lei Wujie suddenly remembered, he had encountered the same situation at Sangu City. It was as if he’d stepped into a dreamscape, and everything in the dream appeared real, yet also appeared illusory.

  “The Severed Space Array?” Lei Wujie frowned.

  “Little fellow, you’ve quite the experience, to recognise the Severed Space Array. This Dream Butterfly Array was indeed developed from the Severed Space Array, but it has its own marvelous point, which makes it much more powerful than the Severed Space Array.” Once again, Su Changli’s voice appeared out of nowhere.

  The lady in white remained indifferent as she placed a finger against her lips. Softly, she said, “Array, rise.”


  In an instant, the sound of wind, the sound of trees, and even the sound of Su Changli’s voice disappeared. Everything within the Dream Butterfly Array, became isolated from the outside world. In the array, there were only two people left, Lei Wujie and that lady in white with her pale face and cold eyes.

  Lei Wujie pulled his Murderous Dread sword out of its scabbard, held up his Rainfall sword, and walked in big steps towards the lady in white. But, what caused Lei Wujie the greatest surprise was, the lady in white didn’t seem to avoid or dodge him. She simply stood her ground and allowed Lei Wujie’s Rainfall sword to cut her into two.

  However, there was no blood in the wound. The lady in white didn’t immediately fall over either. That face which had been sliced in two faced Lei Wujie who was dumbfounded and returned a gloomy smile.

  Lei Wujie felt a shiver go through his entire body and muttered, “It’s really a ghost.”


  At that point, the lady’s corpse finally dispersed into dust, becoming countless glowing white butterflies. They fluttered as one towards Lei Wujie.
