Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 9 Xiao Yun's Assassination, Soul Splitting Divine Technique!
Xiao Yun knew how difficult it was to open the Mind's Eye Aperture, as it required a very high level of talent.

But he couldn't possibly be the only one. However, he never expected that this unknown tenth prince would also have his mind's eye opened.

These thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning.

Xiao Yun was also very decisive. A beam of light shone brightly from between his eyebrows, shooting out directly towards Li Qiye's head.

He exuded a murderous aura and possessed the unparalleled assassination skills of his ten masters.

Even if Li Qiye also opened his Mind-Body Aperture, he was confident he could kill his opponent.

Once you've succeeded, you must flee immediately!
Today is the Ghost Festival, and the streets are full of people.

As long as one blends into the crowd, even if Qin Rentu is a powerful expert at the eighth level of the Void Realm, he will not be able to find him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yun's killing intent intensified.

The soul attack emanating from Xiao Yun's brow arrived in front of Li Qiye in the blink of an eye, heading straight for his forehead.

If they succeed, Li Qiye will surely die!

Xiao Yun used this move to kill countless enemies stronger than himself.

Moreover, although Li Qiye's cultivation level did not match the intelligence, he was ultimately only at around the fifth level of the Divine Treasure Realm.

He had broken through to the Purple Mansion Realm a few days ago, and his realm was still suppressing Li Qiye, so the other party did not provoke him in the slightest.

However, at that moment, Xiao Yun suddenly noticed that Li Qiye's brow was also shining brightly, and a dazzling sword light flew out.

Xiao Yun frowned upon seeing this.

"He also possesses the art of soul attack?!"

"Is he trying to trade his life for mine, forcing me to use my soul attack to defend myself?"

Xiao Yun looked puzzled.

However, as the protagonist of destiny, Xiao Yun has ten demonic masters and is never lacking in ruthlessness and decisiveness.

A thought flashed through his mind, and a hint of madness flickered in his eyes.

He simply refused to believe that his sixth master's signature soul attack technique wouldn't be able to kill a mere tenth prince.

It should be noted that his sixth master was known as the God of Slaughter, and countless powerful figures had fallen in fear at his name.

As long as he kills Li Qiye first, the opponent's soul attack technique will naturally collapse.

However, at this moment, Xiao Yun felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows, as if he had sensed a life-or-death crisis, and his whole body went cold.

He had a premonition that without a divine weapon to protect his soul...

This attack from the opponent will surely kill him!

The intensity of the opponent's soul attack is absolutely no less than that of Master Liu's soul attack technique.

However, if Li Qiye dies first, everything will crumble.

"Then let's see who dies first."

Xiao Yun's expression turned ferocious.

At that moment, he saw his soul attack technique touch Li Qiye's brow.

A slight smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth.

However, his smile froze the moment it appeared.

A buzzing sound rang out, and a beam of light appeared, blocking the divine soul attack.

"The Heavenly Soul Seal?!"

"Impossible, how is this possible?!"

"Didn't he give the Heavenly Soul Seal to Qin Linglong? Why is it still in his possession?"

Xiao Yun was completely bewildered.

He dared to assassinate Li Qiye, so he must have known that Li Qiye had given the Heavenly Soul Seal to Qin Linglong.

Otherwise, why would they risk their lives in such a desperate gamble?
It should be known that any divine weapon that protects the soul is extremely precious.

Li Qiye's Heavenly Soul Seal was also bestowed upon him by His Majesty during his coming-of-age ceremony.

This is one of a kind in the world; you absolutely cannot find another one like it.

At that moment, Xiao Yun felt his soul tremble.

The sword beam pierced his brow at an unimaginable speed, attacking his soul.

"How could this be?"

Xiao Yun turned his head with great difficulty and looked at Qin Linglong not far away.

The girl's face was filled with terror and worry as she rushed towards them. Qin Rentu, standing beside her, had already raised his palm, a powerful aura swirling within it, and a terrifying pressure swept towards them, making the entire void seem to freeze.

"Qin Linglong really cares about me!"

A thought flashed through Xiao Yun's mind.

But he was soon shocked to discover that Qin Linglong's gaze was not on him at all, but on the Tenth Prince, Li Qiye.

Didn't she utterly despise the Tenth Prince, Li Qiye?

His assassination attempt on Li Qiye is exactly what she wanted, isn't it?

But why did the Heavenly Soul Seal reappear in Li Qiye's hands?

Xiao Yun seemed to understand, his face full of bitter smiles, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.

This Qin Linglong is nothing more than someone who curries favor with the powerful and wealthy.

She usually appears pure and innocent, with an extremely simple mind, but she has already become involved with the tenth prince.

Am I really going to die like this?

"No, I won't die..."

His consciousness began to blur, and with his last bit of strength, he activated the powerful secret technique passed down to him by his ten masters—the Soul Splitting Divine Technique!
He forcibly split his soul in two.

As long as one's physical body remains, one can be resurrected.

Xiao Yun believed that his physical body would not be destroyed in a short time.

Because he has too many secrets, which are the inheritances of ten top experts, probably everyone would be interested in this.

A sudden incident occurred on the street, and the crowd scattered in all directions, screams echoing through the air.

Li Qiye remained calm, his gaze deep as he looked at Xiao Yun, who lay on the ground, his breath fading away.

Qin Rentu appeared silently in front of him at this moment, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.

In fact, Xiao Yun had already made his move the moment Li Qiye recognized his identity.

But when he suddenly noticed that Li Qiye seemed confident and even had a hint of mockery in his eyes, he held back from making a move.

However, he did not let his guard down. If he wanted to, even if Li Qiye did not have the Heavenly Soul Seal for protection, Xiao Yun's soul attack technique would not be able to harm Li Qiye in the slightest.

"Not bad, he has actually opened his Mind's Eye Aperture!"

"It also possesses a powerful soul attack technique!"

"This kid has been hiding his true abilities well!"

As a pillar general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Qin Rentu naturally knew about the mind and spirit.

They also knew how difficult it was to unlock this acupoint.

This requires opening one more acupoint on top of opening all nine orifices.

This is at least ten times more difficult than opening all nine orifices at once.

It should be known that geniuses with all nine orifices open are extremely rare in the Great Zhou Dynasty, let alone unparalleled prodigies who have opened their mind and divine orifices.

"Li Qiye, are you alright?"

Qin Linglong rushed over and asked anxiously.

"it's okay no problem."

Li Qiye waved his hand, then looked at Qin Rentu and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you for your help, General."

"Don't flatter me. Even if I weren't here today, you wouldn't be in any danger."

Qin Rentu glared and puffed out his beard.

Li Qiye smiled but didn't say anything.

"Your Highness, it is all due to my incompetence. Please forgive me."

The two guards, who had been somewhat disoriented by the shock to their souls, were now trembling with fear and knelt down on the ground with a thud.

As for the two guards following Xiao Yun, their eyes were glazed over, their expressions dazed, and they collapsed to the ground.

They had no idea what was going on and thought they had been following the Sixth Prince, Li Yunrui.

Unexpectedly, what followed was Xiao Yun, a wanted criminal and remnant of the Demon Sect who had caused a stir in the city these past two days.

But none of that matters anymore.

As a personal guard, not even knowing when the Sixth Prince was switched is absolutely a capital offense!
