Chapter 1147 - Assassination

“Alright, alright, let’s go back,” said Ling Chuxi as she waved her hands dismissively. She was so disgusted.

“Thank you for not killing us.” Liu Qingfeng, Wu Tianlang and the rest bowed and prepared to leave.

At this moment, a black figure flew out from the crowd like a sharp arrow towards Ling Chuxi. This move was extremely sudden and crafty.

The moment Ling Chuxi and the others finally settled matters in Huifeng Ridge, they had let their guard down. They didn’t expect someone to suddenly make a move at this moment. This person had hidden himself too well and looked too ordinary. He didn’t attract anyone’s attention and his sudden appearance had stunned everyone. This person was neither too tall nor too short; neither fat nor thin; and his looks were extremely ordinary. If he were to be thrown into the crowd, he would have been forgotten immediately.

The person did not miss a step as he moved. In just a few steps, he had arrived in front of Ling Cuxi. The sword in his hand was simple and unadorned, which made it look even more fierce.

Ling Chuxi had once seen such a person in Nan Xia Country. Everything they did was for the sake of killing.

This was an assassin! Without a doubt, this was a professionally trained assassin. He was several times stronger than the one LingChuxi had encountered before.

Although one could see the determination to kill in his cold and ruthless eyes, no one could feel his killing intent. It seemed that he had even managed to restrain his killing intent. Only Ling Chuxi, who was now before him, could feel the coldness in the bottom of her heart.

“Be careful!” Ling Yichen, Lan Xinyu, and the others cried out in unison.

Ling Yichen and Baili Han hurriedly drew their swords, but they were too far and too late.

Lan Xinyu was a little closer, but the moment she pulled out the golden whip, the person had already arrived in front of Ling Chuxi. The golden whip was not suitable for close combat, so it was too late for her to attack. Without thinking, Lan Xinyu instinctively took a few steps forward to defend Ling Chuxi as she stabbed forth with the whip’s handle like a dagger.

The person’s feet shifted, but he slipped past her like a swimming fish and pounced directly on Ling Chuxi. This was a true assassin, one who would never waste a single bit of strength on others.

At the critical moment, Ling Chuxi’s Core of Martial Path moved as well, and the assassin’s movement started to slow down significantly. She finally drew out her Luo Chen Sword.

But then, Ling Chuxi saw the other party’s lips move slightly. Although there was no sound, the Spiritual Qi in the air around them had subtly changed.

The person’s speed suddenly doubled, and even Ling Chuxi’s Core of Martial Path could hardly keep up. A cold light flashed in the person’s eyes, and a thick killing intent finally penetrated from his body. In just an instant, his entire person had undergone an earth-shaking change. Both his True Qi or his aura had both increased by several times.

A strange feeling suddenly welled up in Ling Chuxi’s chest. Such sudden and immense increase in strength seemed vaguely familiar yet distant. However, Ling Chuxi did not have time to think about it for the time being because the opponent’s originally simple and unadorned sword started to flash with a piercing cold light. It slid past the edge of Luo Chen Sword and stabbed towards Ling Chuxi’s heart.

A sharp whistle came through the air as the swords rapidly slid against each other. At the same time, the cries of the surrounding crowd could be heard. Only then did they wake up from their shock, but it was already too late.

The crowd saw the tip of the assassin’s sword touch Ling Chuxi’s clothes and their hearts sank. Su Yizhi, Liu Qingfeng and the others’ hearts sank and turned cold.
