Assassin

Assassin (杀手、刺杀、暗杀、刺客) were the most terrifying professions. Even if their actual combat power was weaker than yours, they still had a thousand ways to kill you.
For example Bloodkill Hall is full of assassins.
== Scheming ==
Huang Junmo was a terrifying assassin. He was the top assassin in the Bloodkill Hall's junior generation. His combat power was high, and his assassination arts were exquisite. To be able to survive his sneak attack when he wasn't on guard was truly worthy of pride.
He uses several tactics classic to the art of assassination:
# distraction, posing
# arriving early before the target
# follow from behind, watch in secret
# keep eyes on the main prize, even if there are other treasures around
# wait until the right moment to strike
# lie to shake the enemy's confidence and act as if everything was in control
An assassin's scheming ability is the greatest. Other than the principle to kill their targets in one shot or flee, even when facing people head-on, they'll use such things to rattle their opponents. He just said those things to make me subconsciously think he was too strong. 
The greatest openings aren't in people's Battle Skills or techniques, but in their hearts. Those are the fatal openings.
As long as you believe you are undefeatable, those kinds of schemes are useless. No matter how you try to shake me, I'll still believe I can kill you in one blow.
"Only a flawless heart can maintain a clear mind, have a solid foundation, and be fearless in the face of death. Otherwise, the slightest opening in your heart can lead to defeat. 
"But if you cultivate that undefeatable will, those mental games will be of no use against you. The only question is whether your opponents will send themselves to their deaths sooner or later. The things that are mine are mine. Whoever takes them will be killed."
== Assassination vs Killing ==
“Dong Mingyu can assassinate a Netherpassage expert, not kill one. There’s still a difference between them,” said Qu Jianying.
Assassination relied on opportunity, while killing relied on power. However, even in that case, managing to sneak attack a Netherpassage expert in control of life and death energy definitely couldn’t be done entirely by luck.
Let alone assassinating a Netherpassage expert, just holding the slightest hostility toward them as you approached would be instantly sensed by them. Assassinating one of them was essentially impossible. However, Dong Mingyu had done it.
