Ling Yun's heart skipped a beat as he felt the thick and endless killing intent enveloping him in an instant. The expression on his handsome face was unprecedentedly serious.
This was not a faint sense of danger, nor was it the kind of aura released by Du Gumo to oppress others. This was pure killing intent!
Only a top expert who was numb to killing people would have such murderous intent when he was determined to kill his enemy!
Ling Yun could feel from the murderous aura that the people who came this time were definitely stronger than Xuan Qi and Xuan Jiu combined!
Ling Yun's mind raced, but his feet did not stop moving. He maintained his original speed as if he had not sensed anything and continued to move forward.
Ling Yun's speed was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, but no matter how he tried, the thick killing intent seemed to have locked onto him. It was impossible to shake it off.
"This person's skills are definitely above mine!" Ling Yun could not figure out the opponent's strength after a series of probing. He could only make a rough estimate.
"I can only defeat him with my wits, not with force!"
The person who was trailing Ling Yun was, of course, an Earth Grade assassin from the Assassins Organization, Deepa, who was close to the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Six!
Actually, Deepa had already been trailing Ling Yun from afar when Ling Yun and Cao Shanshan left the school gates. However, he did not display any of his strength or killing intent because there were ordinary people around Ling Yun.
Furthermore, it was too early, and there were too many people on the streets. If he had acted rashly, even Deepa would have been in deep trouble.
As mentioned before, no matter if it was an orthodox martial artist or an unorthodox martial artist, they were not allowed to display their strength in front of ordinary people unless it was absolutely necessary. This was an unwritten rule among ancient martial artists.
An assassin's profession was to kill people. Naturally, it was an unorthodox martial artist! Therefore, this unwritten rule naturally had the same binding effect on the assassins!
Otherwise, based on Deepa's confidence in his own strength, or rather, Xuan Qi and Xuan Jiu's confidence in their own strength, they could have gone to Qingshui High's Grade 12 Class 6 and killed Ling Yun on the spot.
Therefore, as long as Ling Yun was not alone, Deepa could not attack!
Now that Ling Yun was running alone and it was after midnight, there were few cars and no pedestrians on the streets. It was the best time to kill Ling Yun!
According to Deepa's analysis of Ling Yun's strength, Ling Yun's current realm was definitely not higher than Houtian Realm Level Five. He was close to the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Six, so he could basically kill Ling Yun in a second. Hence, Deepa was not anxious at all. He locked onto Ling Yun and let him run as he pleased.
He was a hundred percent sure that Ling Yun wouldn't be able to find out where he was! In other words, he didn't even know that he was being watched!
Deepa had superb tracking and concealment skills. Coupled with his excellent Qinggong, following Ling Yun's current speed was as easy as taking a stroll in the park.
Seeing that Ling Yun had even stopped to pee in a dark alley, Deepa laughed. It was a contemptuous laugh.
"Kid, the feeling of hugging and hugging is pretty good, right? Unfortunately, tonight will be the day of your death!"
If he killed Ling Yun, he would get forty percent of the fifty million yuan reward, which was twenty million yuan to himself!
Deepa was dressed in black, his face covered with a black cloth. He hid in the dark, his left hand holding a silenced pistol and his right hand holding his usual snake whip. His narrowed eyes shot out a sharp glare as he stared at the leisurely Ling Yun two hundred meters away, sneering in his heart!
Of course, Ling Yun was not really so bored as to pee there. He was only pretending to pee, but in fact, he was checking his weapon.
He first secretly took out the mystical brush and focused his mind on holding the brush. Then, he used the Stellar Condensation Technique to its maximum and lightly drew on his hand.
The mystical brush did not disappoint him. Ling Yun's hand could be said to be invulnerable. He did not even need to deliberately use his Qi to snatch Xuan Jiu's extremely sharp tri-edge bayonet with his bare hands. Wherever the tip of the mystical brush brushed past, his palm was cut open and fresh blood gushed out.
Ling Yun did not seem to feel any pain at all. On the contrary, he smiled faintly and kept the mystical brush. Then, he used his hand to lightly cover the leather needle pouch. Once again, he dashed towards the direction of the Shichiyou herb.
Since he could not test his opponent's strength, Ling Yun did not continue to test him. Maintaining almost the same speed, he quickly arrived at the riverside.
With a stretch of his body, he leaped across the eight meters wide river. He was only a few feet away from the Shichiyou herb!
While his opponent had yet to appear, Ling Yun quickly stood there and absorbed the spiritual energy of the Shichiyou herb!
A few days had passed. Compared to when Ling Yun first discovered it, the Shichiyou herb had grown a lot bigger. Naturally, the spiritual energy it emitted was also much stronger. Under Ling Yun's deliberate absorption, it only took him about seven to eight breaths' time to replenish the spiritual energy in his body.
With this delay, the murderous aura that permeated the air was getting closer and thicker. Ling Yun held his breath and quietly waited for the moment the enemy appeared!
Suddenly, Ling Yun used the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability to its limit. His tall figure moved three meters away from his original position!
There was no sound of a gunshot. A bullet flew past where Ling Yun was originally standing. If Ling Yun had not moved just now, his heart would have been pierced through!
"Good lad, I was indeed discovered by you. No wonder Xuan Qi and Xuan Jiu were defeated by you. You really have some skills!"
Deepa put away his silenced pistol and appeared from his hiding place. With just three leaps, he crossed the hundred meters in an instant and stood in front of Ling Yun!
Ling Yun chuckled. "If I couldn't even discover such a small trick, wouldn't I have been killed many times by the Assassins Organization?"
Deepa saw Ling Yun's confident look. Although he was puzzled as to why Ling Yun did not escape after discovering that he was being chased, he could not help but secretly admire Ling Yun's calmness.
"To be able to dodge bullets, you can be considered to have the strength of a Houtian Realm Level Five. At the age of eighteen, you can be considered a genius among the ancient martial arts practitioners!"
Deepa first praised Ling Yun. Then, he said coldly, "However, your life ends here. Next year, today will be the anniversary of your death!"
Before he finished speaking, Deepa's figure flashed. With a swoosh, his left hand formed into a knife and slashed towards Ling Yun's face at lightning speed!
At the same time, Deepa's right hand shook and the long whip in his hand became straight. Then, the tip of the whip curled back and coiled around Ling Yun's waist!
Deepa had chosen to kill Ling Yun from the front. He did not hold back at all!
Even though it was just a simple hand chop, it contained several follow-up moves. It was powerful, domineering, and incomparably sharp. If Ling Yun couldn't block it head-on, he could only retreat!
However, at this time, if Ling Yun retreated, he would definitely be caught by the long whip!
Of course, Ling Yun would block it head-on. He gathered the Stellar Condensation Technique in his right fist and met Deepa's knife hand!
"Peng!" Ling Yun's right fist went numb from the force of that palm strike. His body was sent flying backwards!
At this time, the long whip was already close to his body. Ling Yun did not have time to think. As he retreated, he used the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability and flew out of the whip shadow like a fish!
Deepa was most confident in his Qinggong and Brute Force. Now that Ling Yun had dared to block his chop with his bare hands, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes as he blurted out, "Brat, I really can't let you live!"
At the same time, his right hand shook again. As he spoke, the long whip once again swept towards Ling Yun like a venomous snake. The whip whistled through the air!
Ling Yun did not have the leisure to chat with Deepa. He was holding his breath and absorbing the spiritual energy of the Shichiyou herb. At the same time, he used the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability to weave through the endless whip shadows. Even so, he was occasionally hit by the whip, leaving a whip mark on his body!
Deepa chased with all his might while Ling Yun dodged frantically. The two of them were locked in battle!
This was a battle that could decide life and death in an instant. Ling Yun was willing to take the risk of the Shichiyou herb being discovered because he knew that Deepa's strength was not something he could fight against at his current level. He could only take advantage of the situation!
He did not even make a move now. He was just dodging!
Unlike the Thousand Miles Godly Steps, the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability consumed a lot of spiritual energy. It could be said that based on Ling Yun's current spiritual energy, he could only use it twenty times!
The reason why Ling Yun dared to do this was because he had the Shichiyou herb! As long as he had the Shichiyou herb, his spiritual energy would be replenished and his body would have an endless supply of spiritual energy!
Ling Yun wanted to exhaust Deepa to death here!
Why did Deepa go all out from the start? It was because he was an assassin. An assassin's killing was not like a normal duel. It was not a matter of who was better. They were all about killing with one blow!
Even if Deepa killed an ordinary person, he would still use the stance of a lion hunting a rabbit to kill the opponent in an instant!
However, this time, he had miscalculated. Deepa and Ling Yun had already exchanged more than a hundred blows. No matter how agile his whip was, it could only graze Ling Yun's skin at most. It was unable to entangle him!
After exchanging more than a hundred blows, sweat began to form on both of their foreheads. Deepa was a little tired, but Ling Yun was still breathing!
Of course, Ling Yun was also in a sorry state. His arms, waist, and legs had all been hit by Deepa's whip a few times. His newly bought clothes were already torn and tattered, hanging on his body like rags.
The two of them fought for another five minutes. In the night sky, their figures crossed each other. After another clash, Ling Yun used the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability and flew out. At the same time, his right hand reached for his waist and pulled out the mystical brush!
"Hehe, I see that you're having a good time whipping me. Now, it's my turn, right?!"
Ling Yun stared at the slightly panting Deepa seven meters away. His right hand held the mystical grey brush as he smiled playfully. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for me at Qidian (). Your support is my greatest motivation.) (To be continued.)
