Fifty feet, forty feet... thirty feet...
Jiang Yi’s body didn’t move an inch; his eyes were concentrated on the battle in front. He was watching how the Mountain-Piercing Mouse was being surrounded by the group mentors, and with the reinforcement of the guards, it was obviously suppressed. One of its hind legs were severed and couldn’t even escape, it could only struggle before its death.
As the assassin approached from the back, he saw that Jiang Yi had no consciousness of the imminent danger, causing his brutal smile to intensify. Along the way, he had already killed three cadets that were all at the sixth stage of the Cast Tripod Realm, and all of them were dead in a single strike. It didn’t matter if this cadet was Jiang Yi or not; he was nothing but a dead man to the assassin.
As an assassin of the top ten killer organizations in the continent, “Death God”, this individual’s motions were of the elite class. He didn’t let out a single sound when he moved, just like a phantom. Moreover, even when he was about to kill, there wasn’t a hint of killing aura from his body. If he was to sneak an attack on a regular martial artist, the victim wouldn’t even be able to let out a miserable scream!
Unfortunately... he met an insane individual like Jiang Yi!
Others might not be able to hear the footsteps of this assassin, but Jiang Yi could hear it clearly. His eyes had nothing but cold intent. He tried to suppress his killing aura by holding his breath, and a black glow flashed within the sleeve of his hidden hand.
Thirty feet, twenty feet, ten feet... he’s here!
Jiang Yi didn’t even need to take a look, and he could already feel a netherworld ghost claw, trying to claw him from his back. He suddenly lifted his head and shouted, “Principal Qi!”
The assassin instinctively lifted his head and saw nothing in the sky; his body had a slight pause. It might only be for a split-second, but it was sufficient for Jiang Yi to turned his body vigorously to attack.
“Swish!”
Jiang Yi’s right fist was abruptly launched, and it turned into three fist shadows in mid-air—all smashing at the assassin’s claw. In the midst of the motion, Jiang Yi’s fist had this sudden sword appearing in the hands, thrusting at the assassin’s wrist.
Green Destiny Sword!
“Hmph!”
The sudden counterattack from Jiang Yi startled the assassin. But this assassin was produced by the Death God organization, and how slow could his reaction time be? His claw didn’t retreat but advance instead, instantly turning into numerous claw shadows—all heading towards Jiang Yi.
This assassin’s strength was obviously above the fifth stage of the Purple Mansion Realm. How was Jiang Yi supposed to dodge from such a speedy attack? He believed that he could easily kill Jiang Yi as well.
“Tsk-Tsk!”
A slight piercing sound echoed. When the assassin’s claw went near to Jiang Yi’s face, it somehow couldn’t attack. His body was instead blasted back all of a sudden, and streaks of blood spurted out from his chest, drenching half of Jiang Yi’s body with blood.
“Moron!”
Jiang Yi let out a cold smile as he kept the black-colored mechanical crossbow. This was an artifact gifted by Qian Wanguan, and it was named God Exterminating Crossbow. This mechanical crossbow was considered an assassination artifact. At such close range, even a peak-stage Purple Mansion Realm expert wouldn’t be able to dodge it—let alone this assassin who was at the fifth stage of the Purple Mansion Realm that wasn’t on guard.
Jiang Yi chased after the assassin like a phantom fox, raining dozens of swords with his Green Destiny Sword. The assassin, who was severely injured, had no choice but to constantly retreat. Concurrently, the God Exterminating Crossbow shone with a black glimmer again in Jiang Yi’s other hand.
“Uh...”
When the assassin’s chest was penetrated by Jiang Yi, he was just like an arrow at the end of its flight. When he saw Jiang Yi preparing to release the God Exterminating Crossbow again, his face let out an expression of despair. He didn’t try to escape anymore; he let out a strange shout instead.
Fool! Don’t you know that you have to reload after using the God Exterminating Crossbow?
Jiang Yi mocked the dying man and suddenly sent his Green Destiny Sword flying. It penetrated right through the enemy’s throat and neck, causing his shouts to end prematurely.
Damn it!
Jiang Yi might have killed this assassin silently and without any commotion, stopping his call for reinforcement, but his weird shouts still alerted two figures in a distance. Jiang Yi quickly withdrew his Green Destiny Sword and proceeded to move onwards. He looked to the front and saw that the battle was extremely intense now. The Mountain-Piercing Mouse seemed to know that it was going to die so it went berserk and began to attack in all directions. Jiang Yi had no openings to run across the battle.
That side!
He saw a giant boulder in front and quickly sneaked over there while reloading the God Exterminating Crossbow at the same time. When he reached the giant boulder, he immediately used the Green Destiny Sword to dig a small pit for him to hide in. He then used the surrounding mud and dirt to cover the hole, burying himself alive.
What Jiang Yi lacked now was time. With the darkness of the night, it would be hard for the assassins to find him without alerting the nearby mentors and guards, right?
Jiang Yi actually had another brilliant method to hide!
If he was able to rush into the group of mentors, those assassins wouldn’t dare to make any reckless moves. But Jiang Yi didn’t dare make such a bet, because those assassins were wearing the guards’ warrior robes. Right now, he didn’t believe anyone. What if someone was to suddenly attack him when he rushed over? He wouldn’t even know how he died—that was why he could only rely on himself!
“Neigh!””He!””Ka-Ka!””Pong-pong!””Wu-wu!””Tsk-tsk!”
Jiang Yi hid underneath the ground. He closed his eyes and stopped his breathing, listening closely to everything nearby. The entire area was still in chaos... with the neighs of the war horses, the weeping of the female cadets, and the sounds of battle between the mentors and the demonic beasts. Even if it was as such, Jiang Yi was still able to discern the footsteps of the two assassins. He did his extreme best to suppress his killing intent, turning his presence well-distributed yet subtle while waiting for the assassins’ arrival.
“Eh? Lao Wu is dead?”
A soft and suspicious voice was caught by Jiang Yi, it was definitely the assassin. Soon enough, the individual lowered his voice and said, “Search this place! Lao Wu’s signal might have been interrupted, but it was obvious that he had found the target.”
The two of them immediately split up. Purple Mansion Realm martial artists had rather good visions. They soon used the method of elimination and quickly found the area where Jiang Yi was hiding.
They are martial artists that are more than the fifth stage of the Purple Mansion Realm!
Jiang Yi’s heart sank to the bottom. Even if he was about to ambush one of them, he would be killed by the other. He could only pray that these two assassins would not be able to find his hiding place.
They are close—so close!
As the two assassins got nearer to his location, Jiang Yi’s heart almost popped out. He might have buried himself underneath the earth, but there were obvious signs of the mud and dirt being dug. If they were to notice this corner, they would definitely be able to see these signs.
“Ka-Ka!”
As they went past the giant boulder and looked around, the roar of the demonic beasts echoed. That sharp screech pierced the ears of Jiang Yi’s eardrum. Soon enough, the shouts from the mentors could be heard, there was the sound of the movements. It was obvious that the demonic beast’s life was at the brink of death, and it prepared to release its demonic arts to fight some more.
“Swish!”
That giant Mountain-Piercing Mouse had these two rays of yellow light in its eyes. The yellow light shot at one of the mentors, instantly turning the mentor’s body into a fine powder. That yellow light continued to fly straight, turning the roofs of two carriages into powder as well. Its firepower was extremely horrifying!
“Lao San, dodge quickly!”
Jiang Yi heard the shouts from one of the assassins; he then heard these frantic footsteps that was heading over his head. The two assassins were afraid of being hit by the demonic arts and actually wanted to hide at the corner where Jiang Yi was at.
“Boom!”
Two rays of yellow light followed the two of them and shot onto the giant boulder, exploding the boulder in an instant. Shards of rocks flew all over the place, and the sounds of the explosion were rumbling in the ears.
An opportunity!
Jiang Yi didn’t know clearly what happened above the surface, but if he didn’t make use of such a good opportunity, he would be as dumb as a pig.
The mechanical crossbow that Jiang Yi held tightly with his hand had a flash of black light. A crossbow bolt flew out, shooting at the assassin who stood directly above Jiang Yi’s head—who was busy using both his arms to block and evade the rock shards.
