With a flash, Anderson relied on the extreme speed of his Shadow Leap to dodge the sand arrows. He even appeared behind the old man in an instant, grabbing toward the sleeping Lilia.
It was a pity that the old man's reaction was even faster. Almost at the same moment when Andre disappeared, a myriad of yellow sand gushed out from the surface of the old man's body, encompassing Lilia within it. Andre grabbed out, but other than a handful of yellow sand, he did not manage to grab anything.
At the next moment, the yellow sand gushed toward him, and with a flash, Anderson disappeared once again.
Within a few seconds, he had darted between the old man and the lady several tens of times. His shadow blades slashed past their bodies time and time again, but other than sending up a myriad of yellow sand, there were no other effects.
On the contrary, there were a few times when Anderson came into contact with them for a brief moment. He felt the blood in his entire body seething and his skin drying up, as if all the water in his body had been sucked dry.
He discovered that the water vapor within a one-meter radius of the two of them was being absorbed incessantly, turning the ground into a desert. He was unable to get close at all.
Ordinary physical attacks were ineffective, and he could not even get close to them.
Anderson's brows furrowed tightly. Most of the Sand Country's abilities and battle methods were related to sand. Some of their techniques were even more amazing and unfathomable than the Empire's Killing techniques. This was the first time he was fighting against such an opponent, and he could not figure out what they were up to.
If it was not because of the extreme speed and Shadow Leap ability bestowed upon him by the Shadow of Death, allowing him to jump and teleport freely among the shadows, he would have been defeated long ago.
However, he did not know that he was even more fearful of Anderson's ability to teleport among the shadows.
'To have such an ability, Anderson's survival and infiltration abilities are too strong. If he were to continue to develop like this, how powerful would he be?
'Even if I can't snatch back the Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor, I must kill this Anderson first.'
Thinking of this, the killing intent in the lady from the Sand Country surged. She also truly displayed her terrifying second transition level 27 abilities, no longer caring about the various experts in the Great Western City.
She spread out her five fingers, and the sand under her feet soared up into the sky, turning into a tornado. Countless grains of sand soared into the sky and then scattered down like a sandstorm.
Many grains of sand scattered in the air, sweeping through the entire city at a speed of several hundred meters per second, including Anderson's body.
With a flash, Andre disappeared.
The woman did not mind. She spread her hands, and her whole body slowly floated up with the support of the sandstorm.
The entire Great Western City was almost encompassed by the sand castle. She focused all her attention on controlling the sand and dust in the air, attacking Anderson continuously.
The sand flew back and forth like bullets. Almost every time Andre flashed out, he would be hit by thousands of gravel. He flashed ten times in a row and finally broke through the sandstorm, arriving outside the city.
As soon as he came out, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His internal organs felt as if they were about to shatter.
The female assassin from the Sand Country let out a cold laugh and commanded the sandstorm to move out of the city.
However, just then, a series of explosions rang out in the sky. Two silhouettes cut across the sky, passing by the Great Western City and flying toward the horizon.
Reading the light waves left behind by the figure passing through the sky in that short instant, the female assassin from the Sand Country frowned. "Fang Xingjian?"
The old man next to her shouted, "Sir, it's Fang Xingjian. Someone is chasing after him. Let's head over quickly!"
Just then, another fiery meteor flashed past. It was Yaris, who had been in pursuit of Sasa.
The female assassin was stunned for a moment. She wanted to kill Anderson first, but she realized that while she was stunned, Anderson had once again teleported away despite his serious injuries.
"Damn it!"
The fury in her turned into killing intent, and the female assassin let out a furious bellow. She swept up the sand and dust in the air, turning into a sand dragon that cut across the horizon and gave chase in the direction in which Fang Xingjian had disappeared.
...
Elsewhere, in the alley behind the restaurant.
Diana walked out from the restaurant's back door and headed for the house near her. With two level 19 guards following beside her, she felt a little uneasy.
She smiled and said, "The two of you, there's no need for you to follow me so closely. I can go back on my own. It's very close."
The two Knights shook their heads and said, "Miss Diana, Mister Zhou wants us to protect you the entire time. It's better for us to send you back."
Diana smiled helplessly and did not insist. Instead, she asked, "How are the dishes today?"
The Knights smiled and said, "Miss Diana, your culinary skills are getting better and better. Right now, all the aristocrats in the Great Western City are talking about your restaurant. It probably won't be long before it becomes popular throughout the entire Great Western City."
"Popular? I don't really care if it becomes popular or not. As long as more people are able to eat the dishes I cook and like them, it'll be fine, "Diana said with a smile.
Just then, a cold and gloomy voice rang out from the alley at the side. "What an interesting idea. Miss Diana, can I hire you to be my full-time chef?"
"Who is it?!" The two Knights instantly stood in front of Diana, one on the left and one on the right. They looked warily at the feminine-looking young man who was slowly walking out from the shadows.
The young man smiled and ignored the two Knights. His eyes were fixed on Diana as he asked, "How is it? Miss Diana, are you willing? "
Diana frowned and said, "I'm sorry. I'm doing quite well right now and don't wish to change. I appreciate your kind intentions."
The feminine-looking young man sighed, shook his head, and said, "It's a pity, a pity. To think that you don't know how to cherish the great riches and honor that have fallen from the sky. You're really foolish."
"Lad, where did you come from? Do you know who you're talking to? "
The feminine-looking young man threw a glance at the Knight who had spoken. Then with a sudden dash, his entire palm sunk into the Knight's body. The Knight's body instantly aged and weakened, and within a few seconds, he had turned into a mummified corpse.
The Knight let out an enraged bellow and pounced forward like a tiger. His claws brought along a strong gust of wind, as if he wanted to tear the feminine-looking young man into countless pieces.
However, the feminine-looking young man's other hand reached out at lightning speed and grabbed his neck. His limbs also started to turn weak, and his skin started to wrinkle. He started to age rapidly at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye.
Casually tossing aside the two Knights who had turned into old men, a hint of excitement flashed on the feminine-looking young man's face. He turned to look at Diana, and the latter revealed a terrified expression.
A level 19 Knight was already an existence that completely surpassed that of ordinary humans. Any one of them would be able to kill hundreds or even thousands of ordinary humans. However, they had been easily dealt with by the feminine-looking young man.
Diana immediately turned to flee. She opened her mouth, wanting to shout out when she felt a small, fair hand pressing down on her mouth. She was then unable to unleash any strength in her body.
The feminine-looking young man smiled. "The Dark Knight single-handedly held back those three old men. The heavens are really on my side. Now, that Fang Xingjian should be coming out, right?"
