NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 449: Hidden Blades 2
Michael calmly walked towards the center of the Snow field, moving his gaze around the place.
Whoosh!
She shot out from the ground, right behind him, and swung her sword... In a second, Michael turned around, and sent a straight kick, which accurately collided on her chest... Throwing her meters backwards.
"Do you think you can sneak up on me?"
Before she could stand up, Michael appeared in front of her, gripped her throat, and raised her into the air.
"You're a good assassin... Especially in your field of skill, but that skill won't work on me."

The lady just stared at him, not saying anything... Michael raised an eyebrow, and raised his left hand, and slowly removed the mask... instantly she turned into snow.
"Fake? I'm surprised... I don't easily get deceived, but you achieved that." He looked over his shoulder, at the real 9th blade.
"**Thanks for the compliment, Ruler...**" She said, and disappeared again.
"Hmm..."
Michael held his jaw, lost in thought... "Hidden blades... Hmm... "Hidden blades" Yeah! So you guys always attack from the shadows, killing without being notice, that make your names, and why you're always disappearing."
Whoosh!!
"**The leader is right!!**"
She appeared above him, and shot down with her sword behind her.
Whoosh!
Michael took some steps backwards, she landed with her palm, and with a twirl, she moved towards him.
"Nice technique, well... It's normal for the ninth blade to be better than the tenth."
He said, still moving backward from the spinning blade.
"Wrong, Each blade has their advantage, and disadvantage... No one is perfect!"
Michael nodded, and with a move of his hand, he slapped her spinning sword away from her hand.
"And I got yours!"
"Huh?"
He moved, and delivered a straight punch to her face, throwing her miles away... She smashed into a tree, and vomited a mouthful of blood, her mask falling on the ground... Revealing her beautiful face, and green eyes.
"Erika?"
Michael was stunned, seeing the face.
"**I'm known as Neun, Ruler.**"
She picked up the mask, which repaired itself... And put it back on.
"**Our only duty is to serve the Ruler, any way needed... In battles, desire, or anything... We don't have a particular expression... We took the appearance of anything the Ruler has in mind... As of now, you have the Queen in your mind, that's why you saw her face in mine.**"
Michael blinked: "What do you mean by serve the Ruler's desire?" He asked, not getting her meaning.
"**Sex, Money, Food, Pleasure, and anything related to emotion.**"
She answered flatly, walking towards him, her sword flying towards her.
"Oh... That's good." Michael said in surprised.
Whooosh!!
"**Defeat me first!**"
She moved, grabbing her sword.
"Still fighting, you're impressive."
Michael smiled, and moved.
"**Huh?**"
He appeared in front of Neun, placed his palm on her face.
"Not fast enough."
BOOOOOM!!
He smashed her into the ground.
"**AUGH?!**"
Michael picked up her sword, and plunged it in her face... Neun instantly closed her eyes.
BAM!!
After some seconds, she opened her eyes, and turned her head to the side, seeing her sword embedded an inch from her head.
"**He?**"
She sat up, staring at Michael, who was staring straight at her.
"I thought you won't open your eyes... I discovered something, you guys have emotions, and fear."
"**Our fear is only towards our Ruler.**"
Michael watched as she got on her knees, and bowed her head:
"I surrender."
She turned into white light, and flew towards Michael, entering his body.
{The Ninth blade; Neun have been obtained.}
{Hidden blades: 2/10.}
Whizzzd!!
"Neun is good, even a Transcendent won't be able to defeat her... I wonder how strong the number one blade is." He thought.
Michael walked towards the gate, and entered, moving to the third.
_________
Whizzzd!!
Michael walked out from the gateway, and moved his gaze on the ancient Chinese's town.
"Huh?"
He was confused.
"**Welcome to Xi An city, Ruler... Your Territory.**"
Michael turned his head to the side, seeing a young Korean guy, in a cultivator's robe, drinking black tea...
...The young man raised his head to Michael, and smiled: "**A tea?**"
Michael raised an eyebrow... The man seems weird, others are in the same outfits, difference in color... But his, is a whole lot different.
Whoosh!!
Michael turned to the side, seeing the same Korean guy, still drinking tea.
"Hmm..."
He looked at his left, seeing the third Korean guy, still drinking tea.
"Illusion?"
In less than a second, the Korean guy covered the whole sky and city.
Whoosh!!
Michael tilted his head to the side, as a small dagger moved past his ear from behind... He looked over his shoulder, seeing only the Korean guys.
"Using this to distract me, while you attack in the shadow... You're one strange blade."
Shoosh!!
He caught the dagger moving towards him from behind, and slowly turned around.
"Hmm... A Mystical-class dagger." He said, observing the weapon.
Whooosh!
Whooosh!
Whoosh!!
Whoosh!!
Michael looked around him, seeing countless daggers flying towards him.
"How cute."
He snapped his fingers, instantly, the whole daggers shattered into fragments... Falling to the ground.
"Not showing yourself? That's fine by me."
He opened his palm, and a ball of spinning wind formed.
"Let's see if you can withstand this."
He infused Void bloodline in it, and with a thought, the ball of blue and dark wind ascended into the air, and exploded, sending a powerful wind wave in all direction.
POOF!!
The whole illusions instantly shattered into dust; moment next:
BOOM!!
A figure fell from the sky, and fall heavily on the ground.
Michael stared at the male figure in black outfit, and a skull mask, and nodded:
"So you're the one... Come on, what's your name?"
"**Greetings Ruler.**"
He stood up from the ground, and summoned his throwing daggers.
"**I'm known as Acht, the eighth blade.**"
With that said, he shot towards Michael, his daggers tearing the winds behind him.
"Isn't this guy in a rush?" Michael asked, tucking his hands in his overcoat pockets.
"Well... I'll have to teach him some manners." He added.
