Kiss him?
As expected, after hearing Yang Ling say this, the female assassin Gulania clenched her teeth in fury. She charged forward and gave him a sharp kick before scolding loudly,
Dmn pervert, bloody gangster, you do not know how to repent even though you are on death’s door!
She had encountered many perverts in her life, but she has never seen one who was this indecent!
Gulania was shaking in anger. She had never expected Yang Ling to be this despicable even when he was about to be killed. Thinking back to the awkward incident in the past, she wanted badly to sever his tongue. Yang Ling’s naked lower body, his arousal… She could not get the image out of her mind. She felt ashamed and angry every time she remembered that scene.
Being interrupted by Gulania, the veiled assassin paused, giving Yang Ling valuable time. Miraculously, after Gulania had kicked him hard near his dantian, Yang Ling discovered that the Wizard Power in his body was beginning to slowly circulate. He slowly regained feeling in his fingers.
Not good, Gulania, move away!
Seeing the cold glint in Yang Ling’s eyes, the experienced veiled assassin knew that something bad was about to happen. He pushed the furious Gulania to the side and whipped his sharp dagger toward Yang Ling’s neck.
The veiled assassin acted fast, but he was still a step too slow. Gulania exclaimed in shock as a ten meter tall Withered Tree Warrior appeared in front of her out of thin air.
After Yang Ling narrowly avoided the killing blow of the veiled assassin, the Withered Tree Warrior hoisted Yang Ling’s body into the air and sprinted for Wissen Castle. It was incredibly fast, every stride covering tens of meters and jetting up streams of dust and debris.
The Withered Tree Warrior had great speed, but it was unable to free them from the terrifying heaven-ranked assassin. Soon, the other party had caught up to them. Without saying a word, the assassin stabbed his sharp dagger into the Withered Tree Warrior’s foot.
After letting out a pathetic cry, the Withered Tree Warrior smashed down with his club. But the experienced assassin was prepared, dodging the attack like the wind. After that, he pounced forward, fast as lightning, inflicting a deep wound on the Withered Tree Warrior’s other foot.
With a rumble, the Withered Tree Warrior lost its balance and fell to the ground, both its feet bleeding heavily. Fortunately, Yang Ling had fast reactions. He somersaulted through the air, not only preventing himself from being smashed flat by the Withered Tree Warrior, but also coincidentally avoiding another killing blow by the veiled assassin.
After quickly recalling the heavily injured Withered Tree Warrior, Yang Ling summoned a Horned Bee Beast to do battle before clenching his teeth and escaping toward the forest nearby. Since he was facing such a terrifying assassin, escaping back to Wissen Town would only result in death. He might find a slim chance of survival if he managed to escape into the vast Terras Forest.
The attacks of the Horned Bee Beast bought Yang Ling precious time. He managed to enter the vast Terras Forest before the veiled assassin caught up to him. Yang Ling summoned Horned Bee Beasts to cover the path behind him as he continued moving in the other direction. At the same time, he continuously consumed Blood Orbs of Magical Beasts and tried his best to circulate the Wizard Power within his body, in hopes of recovering as soon as possible.
Against the speedy veiled assassin, Yang Ling knew that the slow Evil Eyes and Withered Tree Warriors would not be able to accomplish anything. Under normal circumstances, the fast Unicorn which was adept in both offense and defense would be Yang Ling’s best weapon against the veiled assassin. Unfortunately, he had only recovered a small portion of his Wizard Power, not enough to summon the Unicorn. Out of desperation, he had no choice but to summon his Horned Bee Beasts as cannon fodder.
An average person would not be able to defend himself against the poisonous stingers of the Horned Bee Beasts. But to someone as experienced as the veiled assassin, a lone Horned Bee Beast was no cause for concern. After easily avoiding the poisonous stingers of the Horned Bee Beast, he only had to gently flick the sharp dagger in his hands to slice the Horned Bee Beast in two.
Yang Ling was alarmed after losing a dozen of his Horned Bee Beasts. He clenched his teeth and charged forward. In order to protect himself from again falling for the assassin’s strange spell, Yang Ling changed his course from time to time. He made use of obstacles such as trees and rocks to narrowly avoid the attacks of the veiled assassin time and time again. Yang Ling was lucky that he could continuously summon Horned Bee Beasts for cover and buy some time at critical moments. Otherwise, he would have long been dead.
Even though the Horned Bee Beasts he summoned were all killed in one blow, Yang Ling had no better idea. He could tame more Horned Bee Beasts in the forest if he ran out of them, but he would definitely die horribly if he were caught in a direct battle with the heaven-ranked assassin. The only thing comforting Yang Ling now was that the Wizard Power in his body was increasing and circulating more smoothly. If he could summon the powerful Unicorn, he would at least be able to free himself from the assassin who was in close pursuit of him, if not completely turn the situation around.
Yang Ling was afraid, clenching his teeth as he charged forward frantically, but the veiled assassin was even more shocked. He was a heaven-ranked assassin, and he had never once made a mistake over all these years. He had not expected Yang Ling to be able to escape him while he was distracted for a moment. Also, the numbing spell that he had cast was of the highest level. He had never imagined that Yang Ling would regain movement so quickly.
What frustrated the veiled assassin even more was that Yang Ling was continuously changing his course, his path of escape even more slippery than that of a fish. Every time he locked onto Yang Ling and was about to use his numbing spell, Yang Ling would dodge to the side, causing him to miss. Furthermore, every time he accelerated and charged forward, his path would be blocked by a Horned Bee Beast that appeared out of thin air. Even though he was not afraid of the Horned Bee Beast’s sharp fangs, he had to be on guard against their poisonous stingers. They allowed Yang Ling to avoid his sudden attacks by mere millimeters time and time again.
Slowly, the amount of Wizard Power in Yang Ling’s body grew, and his speed increased as well. Yang Ling jumped from tree to tree like a large bird, while the assassin chasing behind him clenched his teeth in frustration.
Seeing Yang Ling pick up speed, the veiled assassin clenched his teeth and drew a pitch black bow from his back. He nocked his last magic arrow. He released the arrow after taking aim at Yang Ling. He had paid a high price in order to kill the despicable Yang Ling; that last magic arrow had been obtained with much effort.
Whoosh…
Yang Ling was shocked when he heard the strange sounds made by the magic arrow. He dodged through the narrow crack between two trees. Unexpectedly, the weird magic arrow followed suit, swiveling through the air to continue its pursuit.
A guided missile?
Turning his head back to look at the strange magic arrow, Yang Ling was almost shocked out of his wits. He darted between the trees of the forest with all his stamina without thinking about anything else. Suddenly, he stumbled upon a strange valley.
The valley was covered in weird trees that were blood red in color. Some of the trees had lush leaves, taller than ten story buildings. Others were barren, and only their trunks remained, standing as straight as electric poles. Blood-like sap seeped out of the trunks, painting an eerie scene. Within the valley, one could occasionally spot fist-sized red spiders, as well as sheets of spider webs larger than a mosquito net.
Some of the webs caught bulldozer-sized rhinoceroses, while some had layers of bugs entangled within them. It was obvious that the webs were very strong. Using his recovered Wizard Power, Yang Ling nimbly darted sideways. He did not dare charge recklessly into the strange spider webs. He might have to wait for death if he got entangled by the web.
After carefully avoiding the webs, Yang Ling had an idea. He made his way toward the area with the densest collection of spider webs. As expected, with the strong spider webs getting denser and denser, the guided missile-like magic arrow behind him slowed down more and more, giving him a glimmer of hope for survival.
At the same time, seeing Yang Ling fleeing into the strange valley and the dense cluster of spider webs, the veiled assassin stopped in his tracks.
Let him go, we need not chase after him any longer!
Just as the veiled assassin was about to continue his pursuit, ripples appeared in the air. A black-robed elder appeared out of thin air, with Gulania by his side.
He entered the Spider Valley, there is no way he will survive. There’s no need to continue chasing after him!
Sir, in order to ensure that the mission is complete, shouldn’t I continue after him?
The veiled assassin touched his chest with his right arm and bowed to the black-robed elder, his attitude respectful.
Hmph, you have missed the best opportunity. If he could really escape the Tarantula Valley, then that is his luck!
Looking at the female assassin Gulania who had repeatedly missed her opportunity, the black-robed elder let out a cold grunt,
We have a more pressing mission ahead of us. There’s no need to waste too much of our energy on this young man.
After muttering an incantation, a Six Pointed Star Teleportation Formation appeared beside the veiled elder. Before he left, he said coldly to the female assassin kneeling on the ground,
Gulania, as punishment for failing this many times, you are to receive training in Black Feather City from tomorrow onward!
Hearing the veiled elder say this, even the veiled assassin shuddered in fear, much less the female assassin Gulania. But meeting the elder’s cold gaze, neither of them dared to oppose his instructions.
