I Was Forced to Marry the Empire’s Valkyrie and Lay Low Until I Became Unbeatable - Chapter 6:

Chapter 6: The Power of the Shadow Ghost!

“Uh… is the enemy just too weak, or am I too strong?” Ning Chen stared blankly at the short assassin he had just punched to death.

But in the next instant, he understood—it wasn’t that the short assassin was too weak. It was that his own strength was too overwhelming. After all, he possessed the Supreme Divine Body, and on top of that, he had just unleashed an unrivaled martial art. Let alone a 7th stage Martial King Realm assassin—even a Martial Emperor Realm cultivator would’ve had a hard time surviving that.

“Master, that wasn’t the only intruder!” At that moment, the Shadow Ghost beside him spoke. Ning Chen frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, “Use your divine ability. Scan the entire area!”

“Yes!”

The Shadow Ghost nodded.

The next second, the shadow beneath Ning Chen’s feet spread outward like ink, rapidly expanding to cover the entire An Residence!

Everywhere it passed, clear images began to appear within Ning Chen’s vision.

It felt like activating a god’s perspective. Moments later, the entire layout and situation within the An Residence were clearly revealed to Ning Chen.

As expected, there were indeed many intruders inside the estate.

Most of them were Martial King or Martial Emperor Realm cultivators. A dozen were even at the Martial Monarch Realm. And there was one silver-haired elder whose terrifying aura had clearly reached the Martial Saint Realm!

“Hm?”

At that moment, the silver-haired elder suddenly stopped, his senses razor sharp.

The thieves beside him immediately halted in shock. “Lord Tiansha, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing. Must’ve been my imagination.” Lord Tiansha had clearly sensed the fleeting trace of the Shadow Ghost’s divine ability. But after trying to sense it again, he found no trace and simply shook his head before giving the order.

“I’ll take care of the old Martial Saint from the An Family. You go kill An Nanjing’s twin sister, An Beixue. Leave no survivors!”

With that command, the intruders immediately scattered and launched their assault…

“A Martial Saint, a dozen Martial Monarchs, and more than thirty Martial King and Martial Emperor Realm intruders… So many have infiltrated the An Residence tonight!” Ning Chen’s brows furrowed. “And judging by their language, they’re remnants of the Tianluo Kingdom!”

What made Ning Chen even more furious was that the Tianluo people bore a disturbing resemblance to those from his previous life’s enemy nation.

His killing intent surged. “Shadow Ghost, can you handle it?”

“Master, rest assured. They’re nothing but ants. Leave them to me!”

The Shadow Ghost responded with full confidence. In the next instant, it vanished into the shadows!

Not far away, the thieves blowing Bewitching Incense into rooms suddenly saw the shadows beneath their feet stir. In a blink, they twisted into black serpentine shapes that shot up and snapped their necks!

One by one, thuds echoed through the compound as corpses fell limp to the ground.

Then the same scene began spreading rapidly throughout the estate!

Wherever the Shadow Ghost passed, whether Martial King or Martial Emperor Realm, they all collapsed, lifeless. In the blink of an eye, the Tianluo remnants lay in heaps of corpses across the estate!

“Hmph!” Even Ning Chen couldn’t help but let out a sound of admiration.

The Shadow Ghost, a peak Martial Saint Realm ghost creature just a step below the Martial God Realm, was truly invincible in the dark!

“Ah! Who’s there?!”

“Hehehe, the one killing everyone in the An Residence!”

Just as the Shadow Ghost was sweeping through the intruders, a powerful shout erupted from somewhere else in the estate. Two surging Martial Saint Realm auras clashed violently.

Clearly, Lord Tiansha had engaged the old steward of the An Family!

The clash between two Martial Saints was monumental. The brilliant flashes of energy illuminated the entire estate in an instant!

The shockwaves were so intense that they even alarmed half the capital city of Great Chu!

“Ah!”

“Assassins!”

“Protect the Second Young Miss!”

But only a few disjointed shouts rang out from within the An Residence. Most of the guards and servants had clearly been knocked unconscious by the Bewitching Incense!

Now that the Tianluo remnants had been exposed, they no longer held back. Their eyes gleamed savagely as they kicked down doors, ready to begin a massacre!

Buzz~

However, by this time, the Shadow Ghost’s divine ability had already spread across most of the An Residence!

With a low shout, the shadows beneath the Tianluo assassins suddenly came alive, transforming into grim reapers in the night!

In the midst of those strange sounds, the Shadow Ghost reaped the lives of countless thieves.

The entire estate echoed with the synchronized thuds of bodies hitting the ground!

But just then, Ning Chen saw through the Shadow Ghost’s vision—over a dozen intruders had already charged into An Beixue’s courtyard!

“Shadow Ghost, save Beixue first!” Ning Chen said urgently.

Swish!

The Shadow Ghost obeyed instantly and raced toward An Beixue’s courtyard!

Bang!

At that moment, startled by the commotion, An Beixue had just rushed out of her room.

As soon as she stepped outside, she saw more than a dozen black-clad assassins leaping into her courtyard!

They ranged from the Martial Emperor Realm to the Martial Monarch Realm, their killing intent blazing.

“Bastards!” An Beixue was startled but forced herself to remain composed, shouting, “Who dares trespass into the Empire-Defending An Residence?! Do you all want to die?”

“Is that An Nanjing?”

“No, she’s An Beixue!”

“That woman’s twin sister! Killing her is just as good as killing that woman once. It’s revenge for the Heavenly Emperor!”

The Tianluo remnants shouted in succession, instantly weighing heavy on An Beixue’s heart. “No… they’re from the Tianluo Kingdom… This is bad!”

If it had been ordinary thieves, they might still have feared the name of An Nanjing and the might of the Martial God Realm. But not the Tianluo people!

They were exiles from a fallen kingdom—people who had already cast aside the value of their lives!

“Kill her!”

The assassins exchanged glances, wicked grins spreading across their faces. In the next moment, they struck in unison!

Martial Emperor and Martial Monarch Realm auras erupted, accompanied by various martial techniques.

“Uncle Fu, help me!” An Beixue, only at the Martial King Realm, was no match for the enemies. Her first instinct was to cry out for the old steward, An Fu!

But almost immediately, an aged, furious shout came from above the An Residence.

“Second Miss!!”

Swish!

Upon realizing An Fu was being held back by another enemy, An Beixue’s face turned pale.

She looked at the overwhelming forces rushing toward her—each one stronger than the last. Deep down, she knew there was no way she could escape.

She was going to die!

“Haah…” she sighed. “So be it… It’s just a pity that I’ve now dragged down… Brother-in-law…”

At that moment, An Beixue closed her eyes in despair, preparing to face death.

Buzz!

Little did she know, in that very instant, the Shadow Ghost arrived!

The shadows beneath the feet of those assassins—and all the darkness in the courtyard—suddenly came to life like thousands of giant pythons, wrapping around their bodies!

“Ahhh!”

“Bakana!” (Impossible!)

“What the hell is this thing?!”

The Tianluo assassins screamed in panic. They tried to resist with everything they had.

But the twisted shadows crawling over them were like countless vicious serpents—impossible to break free from!

Boom!

Then it was as if a giant invisible hand clenched them all at once. The shadows tightened around them in an instant. One after another, the bones in their bodies shattered. Even their internal organs burst on the spot!

A series of ear-splitting, bloodcurdling screams rang out.

In the blink of an eye, the entire group of Tianluo assassins was reduced to a pile of corpses, all dead beyond recovery!!
