Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 360 - 361: Snowstorm Everywhere

The moment the wall that divided the two regions disappeared, Mu Can and his companion realized in shock that there was not a single person on the opposite side.

"It’s not right, there’s something fishy." Mu Can instantly felt a chill, always feeling the gaze of a pair of eyes watching himself, seeking to find his own flaw for a fatal strike. However, the enemy’s concealment abilities seemed quite formidable, as even Mu Can’s Martial Saint Level perception failed to detect the presence of the other party.

"As expected, there isn’t a single weak one who has made it this far." The earlier Mu Muhe Ada had already given Mu Can a substantial surprise; dealing with him was quite a challenge, and now it looks like the current two opponents will put significant pressure on Mu Can.

"I hate assassins." Mu Can grumbled, his fighting style was actually quite similar to Ada’s; he most enjoyed the feeling of close combat brawling, the punch-to-flesh sensation. But now, facing an enemy who hides their head and shows their tail, there’s simply no way to start an attack.

"Brother Can, use area attacks." Xu Liang had just spoken when a streak of light flashed by and a dagger suddenly appeared in front of Xu Liang, fiercely stabbing towards him.

The first target of the attacker turned out to be the weaker Xu Liang; Mu Can had no time to rescue him and discovered that a glow appeared under Xu Liang’s feet. In the next moment, Xu Liang was teleported to a stone platform above the Duel Arena, laying there, completely immobilized.

It was a single exchange, and without even seeing the opponents, Xu Liang was taken down with a strike. However, judging by the situation, the reason why Xu Liang was not teleported out was indeed because of Mu Can’s presence.

"You guys are quite something." Mu Can uncharacteristically felt furious, this was the first time during the three battles that he felt anger.

This was simply a humiliation; not even seeing how the opponent looked like, his side already suffered a casualty. This proved that Mu Can, the Captain, was not up to the mark.

Moreover, the opponent seemed to understand Mu Can’s strength; having succeeded with one hit, they immediately concealed themselves again, completely eluding perception, and now both were hidden.

"Stay calm." Mu Can forcibly calmed himself down at this time.

The two people could be said to be the most troublesome Mu Can had encountered in Tongshen Mountain, two assassins that could conceal themselves. However, this didn’t mean Mu Can had no way to deal with them.

"Blizzard Tornado." A smile appeared on Mu Can’s face, do they really think that by hiding they have outsmarted me? The Duel Arena is only so big; I refuse to believe that you can hide within a layer of spacetime. If that’s the case, I’m willing to admit defeat.

A slender whirlwind began to rotate around Mu Can, followed by the slow fall of translucent snowflakes—one, then another, and then a third. The swirling snow slowly grew heavier, enveloping the entire Duel Arena and forming a Blizzard Tornado the size of the dueling ground itselfin the middle of the arena.

"Try hiding in there." Mu Can smiled confidently, reiterating his point—if they truly are of the Void Level, capable of hiding inside the folds of spacetime, then he, Mu Can, would willingly concede, turn around, and leave. Otherwise, they would face an enraged Mu Can.

The blizzard grew fiercer, and before long, the Duel Arena was covered in snow up to one’s knees. However, the two concealed figures remained motionless, as if they really had vanished within the arena.

At this time, Mu Can closed his eyes; he was sensing. All the snowflakes were transformed from his Spiritual Power, so he was attuned to every change in the arena. Every snowflake, at this moment, was like an extension of Mu Can’s body. Should any snowflake undergo a change, that’s exactly where the person would be hidden.

"I’ve found you." Mu Can suddenly opened his eyes; these two Cultivators were indeed skilled at hiding, suspended in mid-air without moving a muscle. However, the falling trajectory of the snowflakes was affected by their presence, and upon realizing Mu Can’s gaze upon them, they knew their position had been exposed and immediately manifested themselves, scrambling to run in opposite directions.

This is a classic assassin’s mode of combat. These cultivator assassins, when facing an unguarded target, are akin to the Grim Reaper, but when up against someone like Mu Can who is prepared, they still feel like there’s no way to strike. The two had just started to flee when the locations they had been occupying exploded with a loud bang, and a towering pillar of fire appeared in their place. They shuddered with cold sweat, knowing that if they hadn’t run at that moment, that single attack could have directly eliminated them from the round.

"Damn it, this person is too difficult to deal with." The two, dressed entirely in black with even their faces hidden under black veils, looked like brothers from the same sect.

"Spread out and use your ultimate moves." After exchanging a glance, there was no other option but to fight desperately.

With a flash, the two simultaneously appeared on either side of Mu Can - their speed was so fast that he could only catch a glimpse of their afterimages.

"Sword Blade Storm." The two shouted at the same time, spinning rapidly around Mu Can from left to right, while numerous small, icily gleaming daggers spun out from their rapidly rotating bodies, stabbing fiercely at Mu Can. Seeing those daggers glowing with a sinister green light, clearly coated with poison, Mu Can had no intention of testing their might against his body.

"Good timing." Actually, Mu Can was also well-prepared, guarding against the two assassins’ surprise attack, as Xu Liang was wounded under the two people’s supersonic speed.

Concealing Technique, extremely fast speed, very high offensive methods, but assassins generally have a very well-known weakness, which is fragility.

Hiding in the shadows is their best defense, but once someone breaks their Concealment Technique and forces them into the sunlight, what they face will inevitably be a hurricane-like onslaught.

"Ice Seal." Seeing two blossoms of Sword Blade Storm unfolding beside him, Mu Can gently pinched his palm, and two huge Ice Walls suddenly appeared on either side of him. The defensive power of the Ice Shield had been proven against Ada, able to withstand Ada’s Invincible Wind Fire Wheel, the defensive ability of the Ice Shield was self-evident.

However, the purpose of Mu Can invoking the Ice Walls was not just for defense; the next moment, three Ice Walls also appeared surrounding the other three sides of the Sword Blade Storms, and two more formed above and below.

With the support of the blizzard, creating a few Ice Walls like that for Mu Can was simply too easy. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

If the ubiquitous snowstorm was the first killing move that forced them to appear, then these Ice Walls shaped by the snowstorm were Mu Can’s second killing move.
