Chapter 57 Need to kill her?
"Haah!" She exhaled and opened her pink eyes *gasp* but her eyes dilated in shock as she saw a sharp knife crackling with green energy hurling towards her at high speed, aiming right at her face woosh
*swoosh* Reacting swiftly, yellow energy radiated from Zhao Ying's body as she raised her arm, a shining yellow sword materializing in her palm *sleesh* she quickly slashed the knife in a horizontal slash. *clank* The knife got cut into two pieces and fell to the ground.
A small smile appeared on Zhao Tian's lips as he glanced at the Light sword in her hand "Nice reaction! Seems like Shenyi's training is fruitful!"
Zhao Ying squinted her eyes and used her astral sense "We are surrounded by three people. 1st level of True Astral Stage" Zhao Tian shook his head "No, four!"
*trreekkkk* The earth beneath their feet unexpectedly started to shake violently. Filled with a mix of fear and anticipation, Zhao Ying instinctively took a step back, only to be startled by a sudden whooshing sound that echoed through the air.
*woosshhh* At this time, a man fully clad in black appeared right in front of Zhao Ying with a dagger in his hand, the tip of it piercing toward Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying deftly swirled the sword in her hand blocking the dagger and the man, taken aback by her speed and precision, took a couple of steps back and furrowed his brow in puzzlement.
'I can't sense astral energy from her… but she is using a technique and it seems like the affinity is Light. They wanted to kill her… because of the rare affinity?.'
*swish* The man again dashed at her slashing his dagger at her once more and Zhao Ying again intercepted the attack with the sword *clank* creating a loud clash as the two weapons collided.
Zhao Ying blinked her eyes and the man in front of her disappeared. *woosh* She felt a green energy in the corner of her eyes and she narrowed her gaze.
'He is using a movement technique along with the wind element giving him such speed. He is four levels lower than me, yet I can't defeat him…'
'Urghhh! My lack of battle experience is obvious.'
As Zhao Tian leaned against the sturdy trunk of the tree, his eyes casually observed the intense battle unfolding before him between Zhao Ying and the assassin. The ground was littered with the lifeless bodies of two men who were also wearing the same black clothes.
"Her first battle, I shouldn't interfere too much, don't you think?" Zhao Tian asked, turning his eyes to the bulky man who was walking towards him with cold eyes. The bulky man's eyes glimpsed at the lifeless bodies of the other two comrades and his steps got heavier, a surge of brown energy emanated from within him, coursing through his veins. As he moved forward, the earth beneath him quivered slightly in response to his immense weight and presence. "I can't sense any astral energy from you… How did you kill my disciples?" Hearing the rough voice, Zhao Tian shrugged his shoulders "They were too weak after all."
*thud* *thud* The bulky man charged towards Zhao Tian, his every step causing tremors shaking the land. As he drew closer to Zhao Tian, his hand reached up and gripped the gigantic hammer strapped to his back.
With a mighty swing, he brought the hammer hurtling towards Zhao Tian, creating a whooshing sound as it cleaved through the air. *fwish*
*clankk* Zhao Tian blocked the gigantic hammer with his left forearm, a smile playing on his lips. *crisk* Suddenly large spikes made of earth appeared from the ground trying to pierce Zhao Tian.
*thrsih* But as they neared Zhao Tian they all broke into pieces and fell down. *swiiishhhh* Following that, a massive dome composed of Earth quickly began to form around Zhao Tian
But Zhao Tian used his cultivation pressure to coerce the sand on the ground and not let it rise to the air to cover him.
Huh? The bulky man was taken aback seeing this and narrowed his gaze "W-What Stage are you?"
*cricck* Zhao Tian clenched his fist and directly punched the gut of the man. "ARGHHHH!" An agonizing cry escaped the man's lips, his stomach convulsing from the sheer impact of Zhao Tian's powerful blow.
"Urghhhh!" The man let out a guttural groan of agony as his entire body convulsed in excruciating pain, caused by the sheer force of a single punch. With sheer determination, he attempted to gather his strength and rise to his feet *swish* But Zhao Tian appeared beside him and exerted his cultivation pressure, pinning him onto the ground.
With a deafening sound of *woossh* followed by a powerful *boommm*, the man was violently thrust through the air, crashing into the trees with such force that they splintered and shattered upon his impact. In his wake, a path of destruction was left behind, marking the sheer devastation.
"Urghhhh!" The man let out a guttural groan of agony as his entire body convulsed in excruciating pain, caused by the sheer force of a single punch. With sheer determination, he attempted to gather his strength and rise to his feet *swish* But Zhao Tian appeared beside him and exerted his cultivation pressure, pinning him onto the ground.
With a firm grip on his resolve, the man clenched his fist tightly, desperately attempting to rise to his feet resisting the force and he felt like his skin tearing up but all of it was useless as he couldn't even move an inch.
Zhao Ying's sharp eyes scanned her surroundings, keeping a watchful eye on the assassin's every move. 'From left!' Anticipating an attack from the left, she deftly swung her sword in that direction blocking the incoming attack. *clank*
"Tsk!" The man clicked his tongue in displeasure and he swiftly vanished from her sight once more. 'His strength is his speed, well he is an assassin after all. And what I have to do is... *huff*' She took a deep breath.
'Now in the front!' The man again darted at her and aimed the sharp edge of the dagger right at her neck. But as he inched closer, he saw her crouching down and was not trying to attack or defend this time.
Hm? Regardless, without hesitation he slashed near her neck. But suddenly, a protective yellow barrier materialized, covering her body from the dagger *clank*. At the same time, Zhao Ying, who had just been crouching, swiftly swung her sword and sliced through the assassin's legs. Her blade effortlessly sliced through the flesh, leaving a trail of crimson stains on her weapon.
"ARGHHHH!" The assassin let out a guttural cry of frustration as his body collapsed onto the ground, writhing in excruciating pain. 'Light shield...' She muttered under her breath. She only used Light's sword from the beginning making the assassin think that she has no other tricks.
She lured him in by showing a feint and protected her with the Light shield while slashing with the Light sword. Seeing the bloody body of the assassin squirming on the ground Zhao Ying was horrified.
She looked away in disgust but she shook her head 'No, No, I am a cultivator...' she again glanced at his severed legs and steeled her resolve. She took a deep breath calming her nerves and the sword in her hand disappeared.
"Good job, Ying'er!" Zhao Tian walked towards her and a smile blomed on Zhao Ying's face seeing him. "Tian'er..."
Hugging her body, Zhao Tian spoke "Ying'er, you go back inside the artifact and rest... I will clear things here."
Zhao Ying gave a nod and she disappeared. Zhao Tian then turned toward the assassin who was squirming on the ground "Don't worry, I'll kill you now." He took his own dagger and sliced at his neck killing him.
He then walked towards the bulky man who was still coerced on the floor under pressure. "So, who ordered you to kill me?"
The bulky man didn't say anything and glared at Zhao Tian. "Well, I know you assassins won't tell anything easily." Zhao Tian spoke and tried to search for anything in the assassin's clothes.
He just found some hidden weapons and blades... but in the midst, he found the photo. On the back, it was written 'Target' "Hm?" He turned the photo and saw Zhao Ying's picture on it. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Someone has sneaked a picture of Zhao Tian while she was in the University Classroom. "Huh?" Zhao Tian narrowed his eyes and glanced at the bulky man "Now I want to know who the fuck dared to kill my sister?" a cold voice left his lips.
The man was taken aback by the intensity of Zhao Tia's anger, as he could sense it through the tone of his voice 'Ah Shit!"
