Volume 8, Chapter 14 – Unsheathing Slash

Although demons were all a group of cunning and treacherous existences, in reality, the relationships between demons were not very friendly.

Under the leadership of the Abyssal Lord, the demons were indeed “united” together. However, an army that was forced into unity through “deterrence” was in fact extremely easy to fracture from within.

And according to Tianyin’s plan, stirring up internal strife among the demons next would not be too difficult.

The first step was to quietly create chaos without anyone noticing. And the way to create chaos was to trigger conflicts.

Naturally, if Tianyin killed one or two Legendary-tier demons, and then “passively” left behind the aura of other Demon Lords, then the contradictions between the Demon Lords would deepen.

Of course, if the plan stopped there, it would be far too simplistic.

In reality, merely assassinating a few Demon Lords was only one part of the plan. After all, infighting between Demon Lords would not completely erupt just because of a few already dead Demon Lord corpses.

The Demon Lords that Tianyin assassinated were only meant to lay the groundwork for the plans that followed.

Since she had decided to carry out a scheme, the plan absolutely had to be meticulous and foolproof. Something overly simple could easily fail due to all kinds of unexpected accidents.

Precisely because Tianyin understood this, at this critical moment, her plan was also adjusted as much as possible toward success.

“Then, let’s first kill a few Demon Lords.”

After carefully sorting through everything she needed to do next in her mind, Tianyin shifted her gaze back to the demon camp in front of her.

This demon camp was exactly where the Legendary Demon Lords of this demon army were gathered. Therefore, here, Tianyin could easily sense the auras of dozens of Demon Lords.

“I have to say, there really are so many Legendaries in Inferno…”

Although she had long known that Inferno’s strength could completely overwhelm other factions, after sensing the auras of dozens of Legendary demons in this camp, Tianyin could not help but sigh.

Of course, sighing aside, Tianyin did not stop the movements of her hands.

With Breath Concealment and a series of stealth skills in effect, Tianyin’s figure simply did not exist in the eyes of the demon soldiers patrolling the camp.

To be precise, she could not be perceived.

And based on this inability for the demons to sense her, Tianyin openly walked toward the nearest tent.

Because Tianyin’s body was small enough, and because the demons’ tents were built according to the height demons should have, for petite Tianyin, entering a demon tent could be described as completely soundless.

She gently pulled open the tent flap, then walked straight into the tent.

After entering the tent, Tianyin finally saw a strange demon with pitch black wings growing from its back, flames constantly rising from its entire body, sitting in its seat with a contemplative expression.

Of course, Tianyin was not particularly interested in what the demon was pondering. Her only goal now was to make a move against the Demon Lords.

“Wuu… silently assassinating a Legendary-tier demon… even though I’m also a Throne-tier, this kind of action still has some difficulty.”

Standing openly in front of the demon that was deep in thought, Tianyin was not worried at all about being discovered.

However, although she was very confident in her disguise, at the moment of making a move, Tianyin hesitated.

It was not a matter of failing to kill in one strike. Rather, Tianyin possessed far too many skills that could instantly kill the Demon Lord in front of her.

The number of complex skills Tianyin had used in previous competitions was as vast as grains of sand in the sea. Not to mention the stealth related skills she had just used like Breath Concealment. Even among high power skills alone, Tianyin had many of different types.

There was the hidden job of the melee warrior class, the swordsman’s Unsheathing Slash.

Or the hidden job among mages, the Destruction Warlock’s Finger of Death.

Or the strongest offensive skill of the normal warrior class, Desperate Strike.

It could be said that instant killing would be difficult for others, but for Tianyin, it was extremely easy.

What troubled Tianyin was that she did not know which skill to use to “instantly kill” the Demon Lord in front of her.

“Well, forget it… let’s use the swordsman’s Unsheathing Slash first. I can just switch to another skill afterward, right?”

In the end, Tianyin finally made her decision.

And in Tianyin’s eyes, that Demon Lord who was still deep in thought, not knowing what it was thinking about, had no idea that it had already been regarded by Tianyin as “prey”.

Although Legendaries would produce a “warning” reaction when facing danger, in the face of bug-like Tianyin, this reaction was offset by Tianyin using special skills.

“Unsheathing Slash…”

As she activated the Unsheathing Slash skill, the essentials of Unsheathing Slash naturally appeared in Tianyin’s mind.

It was as if in an instant, Tianyin became proficient in and mastered the essence of Unsheathing Slash.

The knight sword named Victory Golden Sword had already been taken out by Tianyin, and her fair little hand rested on the sword hilt.

Her eyes were tightly locked onto the Demon Lord in front of her, and within her body, surging and raging power poured into the sword in her hand.

In that instant, the air inside the entire tent seemed to solidify.

“Who is it!”

Although Tianyin’s stealth was something even Throne-tier had difficulty detecting, at the moment she attempted to execute Unsheathing Slash, the Demon Lord who had been deep in thought was finally awakened by the aura Tianyin unintentionally leaked.

However, reacting at this moment was already too late.

“Unsheathing Slash——”

Clang—

A light sword chime rang out. In Tianyin’s hand, the sword that had accompanied her for a long time, the Victory Golden Sword, was drawn at this moment.

The speed of the draw was fast, but the speed of returning the sword to its sheath was even faster.

And if one were to look with the naked eye, aside from the sword chime, it would seem as if Tianyin’s sword had never been drawn at all.

However, on the other side, the Legendary-tier Demon Lord who had just sensed something amiss now had a straight bloodline appear from its head down through its body.

“Kuh… kuh…”

Even demons bled. And at the instant it was struck by Unsheathing Slash, this Demon Lord’s HP bar was instantly emptied by Tianyin.

“Who… who was it?”

From beginning to end, the Demon Lord did not know who had killed it, even at the moment of death.

However, at the instant this Demon Lord breathed its last, Tianyin also canceled her Sneak state.

“Ahh… are demons this alert now? Good thing its reaction was a bit slow in the end…”

Looking at the Demon Lord that had already collapsed in a pool of blood, Tianyin knew that her plan had taken its first step forward.
