Now that Johanson decided to strike, he wouldn't limit himself to only using the soul attack.
Once an assassin made a move, he would go for the kill!
Of course, if his opponent had been somebody else, Johanson might have shown him mercy, or say, not caused a fatal injury to his opponent.
Now that Johanson had regarded Zen as a man he must kill, he would not reserve his strength!
Just as Johanson launched the soul attack, a beam of bright light shot out from his hand.
The light warped into the shape of a short sword—a snake-shaped short sword!
The short sword was Johanson's family heirloom. It was a fairy weapon that had been passed down within their family for several hundred years! When the Jiang family was undermined by the Burning Sky Empire 300 years ago, most of its treasures and fortunes were kept in one of the secret realms of their Shadow Group. Thus the snake-shaped short sword was preserved within the family, and eventually, it was handed down to Johanson.
He preferred to first, befuddle his opponent's mind with the soul attack, and then, cut the opponent's throat with the snake-shaped short sword. Although this assassinating method was quite simple, it was almost impossible to guard against it!
In most cases, as long as the opponent's soul was not strong enough to resist his soul attack, in no way could he escape from Johanson's snake-shaped short sword!
Even though Zen's flesh was incredibly strong, he could not be able to fend off the snake-shaped short sword!
Therefore, as per Johanson, by implementing his two-step attacking method, there was no doubt that Zen would die!
"Go to hell!"
'I'm destined to be a world-famous assassin while you are doomed to be reduced to a pile of bones.
As to the little locusts that mocked me from the audience, they are bound to admire me, and to listen to legends about me!'
However, at the precise moment that Johanson's soul attack targeted Zen's mind, an unexpected event happened!
The soul attack, to put it simply, was a confrontation on a spiritual level.
Since Johanson had been consuming the soul-nurturing herb since he was a child, his soul was much stronger than those of ordinary people.
The soul-nurturing herb was a precious plant, but its effect on enhancing a person's soul was quite limited.
That was something no one could change. Even Cloud Sect had no books on soul cultivation method other than a few manuals on the use of soul attack!
It was just too difficult to cultivate one's spirit. Accordingly, to nurture one's spirit with the soul-nurturing herb was a very difficult and expensive project in the first place.
But Zen's spirit had been refined by the giant mysterious smelting furnace.
