"Thank you for telling me!"
Du Feng thanked the uncle, accepted the mission, and left. He really did not want to take a boat with others, because it was possible that he would be plotted against on the boat. Some people probably didn't do the island mission to fight for points, but to kill people and rob them of their wealth.
Du Feng had his own mechanical dragon, so there was no need for him to take someone else's boat. His mechanical dragon was not only fast, but it could also move underwater. Its hardness alone could kill many water monsters. It was better to sneak onto the island and investigate the situation first.
He did not take a boat from the dock, but went to the beach by the river alone. When there was no one around, he dived into the water, and at the same time, he used the Water Avoidance Art to swim deeper into the river. After swimming for a distance, he felt that the river was deep enough, so he planned to take out the mechanical dragon.
The island in the mission was a certain distance away from here, and he had to pass by the habitat of a level-17 water monster. If he swam there without the mechanical dragon, it would take a long time, and he would easily encounter danger along the way.
"Who is it!"
Just as Du Feng was about to take out the mechanical dragon, he suddenly felt a chill coming from below, causing the soles of his feet to twitch. The tendon behind his knees could not help but tremble. This situation meant that there was an attack below.
With Du Feng's ability, he immediately determined that the attack did not come from the water monsters, because this place was not far from the riverbank, and there were basically no water monsters. Even if there were water monsters, they would be low-level fish like pufferfish, and definitely would not have such a sharp attack.
As he said this, he patted the gourd on his waist, and 25 red discs twisted out like a giant red dragon. It was not that Du Feng was overly cautious, but the other party was in the dark, and he had to be on guard. Secondly, the attack power of four Blood Breaking Flying Swords and a Blood Splitting Sword was really not to be trifled with.
He heard a few cracking sounds, and the sneak attack of the other party's weapon was broken into several pieces. Before he could react, his arm was twisted off. Be it the Blood Breaking Flying Swords or the Blood Splitting Sword, they could deepen the wound and prevent it from healing.
The sneak attacker was really a ruthless person. His weapon had been broken, and his right arm had been crippled, but he still did not give up. He let out a long roar, and his body was like a flood dragon emerging from the sea. He turned around and used his legs to attack Du Feng. His leg technique was really special, turning like a propeller in the water. At the same time, it was also able to increase its speed. In the blink of an eye, it had already reached Du Feng.
"Insignificant skill!"
Du Feng snorted coldly. He did not even try to dodge. He did not even take out his Dragon Riding Sword. That was because the Blood-Splitting Sword that had flown out had turned back and quickly caught up to the attacker, cleaving his head. It went in from the top of his head and came out from his groin.
Just a moment ago, he was still alive and kicking, but now he had become a corpse in half. His body was split into two halves, and no matter how sharp his leg technique was, it was useless. This was also why, in the later stages of cultivation, martial artists would practice the saber or the sword. At the very least, they needed to have a weapon that they were good at.
Because if they only relied on their fists and legs, they would be at a disadvantage in a fight with the same Cultivation. Du Feng really felt that the attacker's leg technique was not bad, but it was nothing compared to the red gourd. Something like the red gourd was not a problem for an idiot to use, let alone Du Feng. Because it only needed to give an order, and the Blood-Splitting Flying Sword would automatically fly out to kill the enemy.
Uh … looking at the opponent's body that had been split in half, Du Feng's mood did not improve. Because he realized that he had been relying more and more on the red gourd. Now that his Cultivation had broken through to the Golden Immortal Stage, the sword technique and body technique that he had mastered were still from the Heaven Immortal Stage.
In a place like the North Shore Immortal City, it was quite difficult for him to buy a good Golden Immortal Stage technique. But it was not very realistic to return to the Celestial Secret Pavilion of the Yu Immortal Sect to exchange for it. For now, he could only rely on the advantage of the red gourd. After leaving the North Shore Immortal City, he would find a chance to get a good sword technique.
Speaking of sword techniques, Du Feng could not help but think of the grey-haired man who was locked in the seventh level of the sword pagoda. If he talked to that uncle, he might be able to get one or two good techniques, even better than the most expensive ones in the Celestial Secret Pavilion.
Tsk, tsk, tsk … It seemed like he was daydreaming.
Du Feng looked at the two halves of the body, but he did not find anything except an empty storage ring. If he guessed correctly, he should be a professional assassin. The money that he collected was not on him, and he did not have any treasures.
This was the profession of an assassin. Either he completed the mission and returned to receive the reward, or he would just die and be done with it. Therefore, he did not carry any worldly possessions.
Who hired this assassin to be able to ambush him in the river? This person's water skills were quite good, and he did not even use the Water Dispelling Art. If he had used the Water Dispelling Art, Du Feng would have sensed it a long time ago. It was because he was hiding in the mud at the bottom of the river and did not use the Water Dispelling Art that he was able to launch a sudden attack.
Who hired this assassin? This person would definitely not assassinate him for no reason.
Du Feng first took out the mechanical dragon and entered it. Then, he began to think about this problem. He had to be careful in the next mission. He was afraid that there would be more than one professional assassin after him. Since he was lying in ambush here, he most likely knew that he had accepted the mission in advance.
Since he knew that Du Feng had accepted the mission, then someone must have leaked the news to him. Of course, it was also possible that someone had followed him and immediately sent someone to ambush him in the river. Even if Du Feng entered the river from somewhere else, he was afraid that he would encounter other assassins.
After thinking about it, Du Feng was afraid that the only person in the North Shore Immortal City who could get the news and be willing to spend money to hire such a powerful assassin was the Huo Family. Because of Ximen Ziling and Ximen Baiyi, he had offended the Huo Family. The hatred of Young Master Huo's severed hands was probably also on him.
The mechanical dragon was worthy of being the work of a senior expert. It carried Du Feng forward quickly. Along the way, some level-17 water monsters saw it and ran away in fear. Du Feng could see from the driver's seat that he was feeling pretty good. Based on the current speed, they should be able to reach their destination island soon.
