Xiao Shisan broke out in a cold sweat.
He couldn't imagine that in a small place like Qingcheng, someone could sneak into the Xiao family and kill his way to the backyard.
The defense system of this mansion was extremely advanced.
It cost a huge amount of money.
Not to mention a human, even if a mosquito wanted to fly in, it had to be screened by the defense AI program to determine whether it was a dangerous object.
In other words …
The person behind this was an expert!
In the blink of an eye.
Xiao Shisan flicked the katana with his thumb and blocked the killing intent of the person behind him.
"The strength attribute is not high."
In this extremely dangerous confrontation, Xiao Shisan instantly made this judgment.
If the opponent's strength attribute was extremely high, he couldn't block the killer move with the force of his katana.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shisan's mouth curved into a cruel sneer.
The katana was still suspended in mid-air.
At this moment, time seemed to have stopped.
Countless thoughts flashed through Xiao Shisan's mind.
His heart was shocked.
It was full of killing intent.
For a real expert, life and death were only in an instant.
Therefore, he only needed one move to kill.
Time seemed to have stopped …
It moved!
Xiao Shisan's right hand stretched out like lightning and accurately grasped the katana in mid-air.
His agility attribute was as high as 4.1, and he had an extraordinary speed and reaction.
After grasping the katana, Xiao Shisan's right wrist shook and the katana sank back into the scabbard.
Right at this moment, the person behind him also put away the dagger that had taken his life away.
But … he was slower than Xiao Shisan!
In a battle between experts, even a little mistake or hesitation was enough to affect the outcome and decide …
Life and death.
"The mysterious killer behind me didn't have a high agility attribute!"
Xiao Shisan made another judgment.
With such a low attribute, he could sneak into the Xiao family's mansion silently?
Xiao Shisan suddenly turned to the right and reached out with his right palm. The action was smooth.
The katana!
Like lightning!
It was so fast that the trajectory of the katana couldn't be seen clearly!
Katana Chop … Iaido!
"Clang!"
In the dark night, a dazzling white line instantly streaked across!
That was the trajectory of the katana.
This was an ancient martial art that was almost lost.
In this era, there were very few people who could still be obsessed with this kind of ancient martial art.
As for those who were proficient in the Sword Drawing Technique, they were even rarer.
Legend had it that when the Drawing Technique was practiced to the extreme, one could even accurately split a bullet in two.
Although Xiao Shisan had yet to step into the Ultimate Realm, the speed of his blade was more than enough to kill a person.
Xiao Shisan caught a glimpse of the mysterious man's face from the corner of his eyes.
When he saw it clearly, a ripple flashed in his cold eyes.
He would never have thought that a mysterious assassin who could silently infiltrate the Xiao Clan was actually just an ordinary young man on the surface.
As their gazes met, Xiao Shisan could even see faint astonishment in the other party's eyes.
Heh.
Presumably, the other party did not expect that he would be able to block his sure-kill strike.
But that was no longer important.
In Xiao Shisan's eyes, since he had already drawn his blade, his opponent would definitely become a dead man.
Xiao Shisan's saber was as agile as a white steed flitting across a crevice as it slashed across Irin's neck.
The essence of the Sword-Drawing Technique was speed and accuracy.
Xiao Shisan's saber had just brushed past Irin's neck when it returned to its sheath.
"It's over."
Xiao Shisan was expressionless.
There was actually a trace of regret in his heart.
This young man's potential was not bad. That silent slash from behind almost cut Xiao Shisan's throat.
But, so what?
This was the cruel rule of the underground world.
It was not that the strong could survive, but the one who could survive in the end … was the stronger one.
Xiao Shisan was preparing to bury another corpse.
But suddenly —
A sharp pain came from his neck!
From behind him, it was the same hand and the same dark red dagger. Once again, it silently slit his neck.
The only difference was that Xiao Shisan used his thumb to block the dagger, but this time, he did not block it.
The sharp blade cut off his windpipe and his carotid artery.
"How … Gu gu …"
Xiao Shisan could only say two words before he could no longer continue.
How could it be!
He had clearly used the Sword-Drawing Technique to cut off the other party's neck.
How could it be fake when he saw it with his own eyes?
Could it be that there were actually two people behind him?
Just when did he circle around behind me?
Xiao Shisan fell to the ground in despair.
He raised his head with difficulty. In an instant, his face was filled with astonishment.
In front of him, where was there … anyone?
…
…
After Irin confirmed that the guy with the dagger was completely dead, he slowly let out a sigh of relief.
If he could know Xiao Shisan's thoughts before he died, he would definitely admire him secretly.
Irin's agility and strength attributes were not as good as Xiao Shisan's.
Xiao Shisan's agility attribute was probably quite high.
At least, it was higher than Irin's.
Moreover, Xiao Shisan had been practicing ancient martial arts for a long time and had maximized his agility attribute.
But there was one thing that Xiao Shisan guessed wrong.
With Irin's habit of thinking before acting, how could he not have prepared a plan of "what if the first attack was blocked"?
Actually, when Irin approached Xiao Shisan's back, he had already noticed the black scabbard on Xiao Shisan's waist.
In the shortest time possible, Irin came up with ten plans.
If the other party blocked the attack with the dagger, there were three follow-up plans …
If the other party dodged the attack, according to the position and angle, there were four follow-up plans …
If the wound was not deep enough, there were also three backup plans …
If it was not for the fact that time was tight, Irin would have prepared at least 20 backup plans to be safe.
"Sword-Drawing Technique? Impressive. "
Irin murmured in a low voice and was sincerely impressed.
He casually picked up Xiao Shisan's weapon and looked at it for a moment.
Although the material was definitely not as good as the "Blood Jasmine" made from Star Steel, it looked like a decent ancient dagger.
"I'll keep it for now. It's a pity that I don't have time to ask this guy about the origin of this dagger."
Since his storage space was empty, he would just use it to fill up his inventory.
Irin recalled the scene just now and wanted more.
The usage of the derivative skill [Pursuing Shadow] had been preliminarily developed.
And it was the first time he had successfully used it.
In theory, when an object was moving at high speed, when the image seen by the human eye disappeared, the human eye could continue to retain the image for about 0.1 to 0.4 seconds. This phenomenon was known as the "Afterimage Phenomenon".
Of course, Irin's agility attribute was not at the level where he could leave afterimages.
It was still far from it.
However, the derivative skills that he developed used a similar principle.
The moment Xiao Shisan turned around, Irin canceled the [Pursuing Shadow] skill within 0.5 seconds. In the opponent's field of vision, Irin's presence was at its strongest at this moment.
Then, he used the shortest amount of time to re-enter the state of [Pursuing Shadow].
At this moment, all of Xiao Shisan's attention was already attracted by Irin's "strongest presence".
The more focused a human's gaze was, the bigger the blind spot.
The wider the view, the harder it was to focus.
Therefore, when Xiao Shisan's attention was focused on a certain point, the surroundings were all relative blind spots.
So much so that Xiao Shisan did not even notice that Irin had already circled behind him like a shadow.
This derivative skill sounded simple, but it was actually very difficult. There were also many restrictions.
Determining the direction the opponent turned, the dominant hand, the angle of the dagger, the blind spot, the night … all kinds of conditions were indispensable.
"The new skill shall be called … Shadow Traces."
This was not an Apostle skill, but a derivative skill. Therefore, he had to name it himself.
And … it could not be verified.
Irin was quite satisfied with his taste in naming things.
Even if the new skill failed, Irin had enough follow-up plans, such as … Spirit Shock.
Therefore … Irin did not panic at all.
Irin noticed that there was a pit beside Xiao Shisan.
It was filled with corpses.
Irin only took a quick glance, and his expression changed slightly.
Xiao Mo was indeed crazy.
He actually used the 100 million bounty as bait to attract more people to be buried with Xiao Yang.
Yi Lin sighed and didn't comment on Xiao Mo's way of doing things.
He himself was not a good person, but he still had his bottom line.
Irin did not want to think too much and kicked Xiao Shisan's corpse into the pit.
"You can consider it as finding a place to bury your bones."
Xiao Shisan's face still had the expression of not dying in peace as he rolled into the pit.
At this moment, a weak groan came from the pile of corpses.
