Chapter 206: The Spectacular Show of a Six-star a.s.sa.s.sin
Six-star…
Jiang Feng looked dumbstruck.
Many people had attempted to a.s.sa.s.sinate him, from two-star and three-star in the beginning to four-star later on and gradually developing into the current five-star.
He was already used to it.
However, he had never thought that a six-star killer would actually appear now!
What did six-star peak mean?
He could beat all of Qing Ming City alone!
Even a group of presidents from the a.s.sociations could not beat this guy!
And these guys?
They secretly laid an ambush to a.s.sa.s.sinate him in a low-key manner. As a six-star, he accepted a four-star a.s.sa.s.sination mission, schemed and set such a stage…
Were his brains damaged?!
Jiang Feng could not understand.
It was true.
Six-star!
He would receive more rewards by taking on any other mission than a.s.sa.s.sinating him.
Although he had finished off numerous killers and his mission had been re-activated many times, it was still at the four-star level. It was only gradually extended to five-star recently.
Moreover…
Would anyone watch a movie of a six-star a.s.sa.s.sinating a four-star?
He was very doubtful.
“Sense of formality, sense of formality.”
The bespectacled man smiled faintly. “I have to let the viewers see something… As for the level, hehe, I can photoshop it to four-star during post-production when I’m back. That will do.”
Post-production?
Jiang Feng looked dumbstruck. Would this work?
“I don’t have a choice. I came here for business, not to die.
The saying about having regrets in life if one doesn’t complete their a.s.sa.s.sination mission… That’s too dumb. Don’t you know that transport expenses are high nowadays? And there’s no one that I can seek reimburs.e.m.e.nt from… Therefore… I can only choose guys like you who are weaker.
In the eyes of the viewers. Well…
I am a four-star and I can finish off a difficult person like you whom many five-stars couldn’t deal with. Believe me, this will be very popular…” the bespectacled man said gently.
Jiang Feng was speechless.
“They say that I say a lot of useless c.r.a.p.
But I have no choice. There wouldn’t be that much content sans the c.r.a.ppy talk.”
The bespectacled man was full of pride. “My a.s.sa.s.sination scene is not only art but also a perfect teaching guide. I’m the role model of countless a.s.sa.s.sins.”
“They will die.”
Jiang Feng sighed.
This moron always bullied others on the account that he was one or two star above the other party. During post-production, he photoshopped his aura and fooled a large number of people.
Wasn’t this fooling others into seeking death?
“This will make me look brilliant. Isn’t that so?”
The bespectacled man smiled. “It’s the same tactic but I’m alive and they are dead. This will make me seem peerless! Many people will then pay attention to the videos that I create.”
Jiang Feng was speechless.
This was amazing!
What else could he say?
Wait a minute.
“Those people just now…”
Jiang Feng suddenly thought of something.
“I asked them to come.”
The bespectacled man smiled faintly. “Your ability is somewhat uncanny. That blood-colored card is also very intriguing. I don’t want to fail an easy task. Therefore, I got them to make a trip here…
“Okay.”
He took a closer look at Jiang Feng’s Original Card. “I think you don’t have much energy left now, right?”
Jiang Feng was silent.
This was the first time that he encountered this kind of killer.
Mysterious.
Powerful.
Full of schemes… and idiotic.
Whoosh—
A cold breeze blew past.
The fallen leaves that covered the ground rose to the air, filling the place with rustling sounds…
Wait a minute.
What was the cultivator beside the cameraman doing?
Jiang Feng took a closer look, only to discover that that guy was actually a Wind Elementalist. He was diligently controlling the fallen leaves…
What the f***!
You’re the one who caused these fallen leaves to rise?
“There is wind.”
The bespectacled man said in a deep voice, “We’re going to see blood again…”
Right now…
He glanced at the sky from a forty-five-degree angle. His gaze was profound and charming.
Whoos.h.!.+
Whoos.h.!.+
The Wind Elementalist blew the fallen leaves towards the front of him fervently…
Very well.
The atmosphere was right.
Jiang Feng was speechless.
What kind of moronic team was this?!
And right then.
The bespectacled man made a move.
He waved his hands and a sword appeared in his hands!
d.a.m.n it!
Jiang Feng’s pupils constricted.
This killer was actually a Swordsman!
“This sword… has been with me for a long time.”
The bespectacled man said softly, “I have known only one Swordplay my entire life and have seven swords. I have been looking for a cultivator of my level who can block my seven sword moves…. Because I will only discover my shortcomings when I meet this kind of person… However, I have not met anyone till now.”
“Hehe.”
Jiang Feng sneered coldly. “You’ve always been fighting with cultivators that are two levels below you, how the h.e.l.l would you meet such a person…”
The bespectacled man paused for a moment before turning back and said, “Remember to delete this sentence.”
“Understood,” the shooting team said.
Shus.h.!.+
The fallen leaves flew up again.
The artistic conception was good.
The bespectacled man got up again. “I hope that you’ll make me strike once…”
He sighed.
It made his heart s.h.i.+ver and one could sense the loneliness of a peerless hero…
“Your posture is not too good,” the cameraman corrected, “I’ll swap the lenses and do it again.”
“Sure.”
The bespectacled man repeated.
Jiang Feng watched on expressionlessly.
He discovered that this team was really arrogant.
Shooting scenes!
Hehe.
He could only ask if this was really a six-star.
However…
Just as this moment, endless murderous auras surfaced.
“Come on!”
The bespectacled man sighed softly.
At this moment, he finally made his move. A cold and chilling aura suddenly erupted. Whether this a.s.sa.s.sin or the team were idiots… They were certainly powerful!
Bang!
The six-star aura erupted!
Terrifying thoughts locked onto Jiang Feng.
When he struck… it was a killing move!
Six-star!
Jiang Feng grew solemn.
He had been on the run for his life for too long…
He had not rested for a long time…
His energy was already dwindling for a long time… Each time he recovered a bit of energy, it would be drained… Afterward, it would seem as though his body had been hollowed out…
Actually, it was not that bad in the past.
The latest and recent chase was really too formidable!
However…
He was already used to it.
Anyway, it would happen once in a while…
However…
The enemies this time were too ferocious and strong, especially the one before his eyes!
He really could not hang on any longer?
Or perhaps…
He had to use that?
Jiang Feng was silent.
Shus.h.!.+
The bone-chilling cold landed.
He did not move.
He knew that he did not have a choice.
However…
Was he really going to use that?
At this very moment…
Somewhere.
Lu Ming had been observing all these secretly in the dark.
“Old Jiang is going to die soon!”
Lu Ming was full of fear and trepidation.
He had not expected a six-star to attack Old Jiang this time! This was not the legacy site. Why were there that many six-stars?!
Therefore…
When he saw that the other party was a moronic team, he heaved a sigh of relief.
After all…
They were so idiotic. Perhaps he still had a chance of surviving?
However…
Facts had proven that even if the other party was idiotic, he was still a six-star idiot…
What should he do now?
Lu Ming’s head was aching.
Old Jiang did not die for many years. He should have a trump card and might be able to resist them. But what if he could not withstand the attacks? How was he going to explain what happened to Xiaobai when he go back?
Furthermore…
Old Jiang had not given him the promised chance encounter! He also had not reimbursed him all the books he purchased!
Therefore…
How could he save him?
Lu Ming’s gaze was bright and sharp.
He swept across these figures. Although this idiotic team was very r.e.t.a.r.ded, they were quite powerful. Even those cameramen were five-star cultivators!
This team…
He could not confront them directly!
How about…
Lu Ming took a deep breath.
Bang!
Sword gleams flashed.
That sword turned into a sharp beam and dashed towards Jiang Feng.
Lu Ming’s eyes were locked onto it.
Swordsman…
Sword Embryo…
What if he were to take away this Sword Embryo?
What would happen to the attacking ability?
Would it be taken away too?
Or would the Sea of Consciousness explode directly?!
However, the black cat was in his Sea of Consciousness. It should not be a problem. Even if he were to steal the Sword Embryo and cause an explosion, the black cat should be able to deal with it. In that case, he could give it a try…
He had never cast a four-star Cloud Shuttle Card at a six-star!
Till now, the limit was a five-star beginner! He had not tried it on five-star intermediate or advanced, much less six-star!
Come on!
Lu Ming’s heart trembled.
According to his guess… Even if he could not take away the vocation core of a six-star, he would definitely be able to affect him!
For example—
Slight displacement?
Swoos.h.!.+
Lu Ming stared at the sword gleam shooting towards Jiang Feng.
Just as it was about to hit Jiang Feng, he instantly took a deep breath and cast the four-star Cloud Shuttle Card at that bespectacled man without any hesitation. A beam of dazzling blue light flashed across…
“Ahhh—”
There was a miserable cry!
The Sword Embryo did not seem affected. It perforated Jiang Feng…
Lu Ming widened his eyes.
What the h.e.l.l was this?!
d.a.m.n it!
His Cloud Shuttle Card actually did not work on six-star?!
Wait a minute.
He had a hunch that something is not quite right…
“Uh—”
Jiang Feng snorted sullenly.
He snorted as he had hit the wall on the impact of the sword. He covered the traces of blood on his body and his expression was calm and composed. Obviously, he was long used to this.
Eh?
Lu Ming felt strange. Old Jiang did not scream miserably…
Where did that voice come from then?
Shus.h.!.+
Lu Ming suddenly glanced at the other side.
He then discovered that, unknowingly, that bespectacled man was rooted on the spot, looking ghastly pale and trembling all over. His right hand was actually broken!
The team beside him began to turn vigilant.
“Who is that?!”
“Come out!”
What happened?
Lu Ming looked bewildered.
Why was the plot completely different from his imagination?
However…
When his gaze landed on the right hand on the ground, inexplicably, a familiar feeling came to him. He then came to his senses. This seemed to be the vocation core…
Wait a minute.
Therefore…
This six-star cultivator was not a Swordsman but an Energy Warrior!
He actually tempered his right hand?!
Afterward…
When the four-star Cloud Shuttle Card slightly displaced it…
Click!
His right hand broke.
So, that was what happened!
Eh, if that was the case…
Lu Ming’s heart stirred slightly.
Shus.h.!.+
He put on his cap and looked into the distance, revealing only a shadow.
“All foreign individuals, please leave Qing Ming City,” his hoa.r.s.e and indifferent voice could be heard.
“Who are you?”
The bespectacled man’s face was pale.
He self-proclaimed that no one was his match in the small Qing Ming City. However…
That moment!
He had sensed a life-endangering crisis. When he came to terms with the reality, his right hand was already broken!
This person…
Who exactly was he?!
“They call me ‘Flash’,” Lu Ming said calmly.
“It’s you?!”
The bespectacled man was in a huge shock.
Flas.h.!.+
It was actually him!
He had really heard of this name before.
According to rumors, this ‘Flash’ killed five-star top-notch beasts in seconds? He admitted that even he could not kill five-star top-notch beasts in seconds…
He once suspected that Qing Ming City was faking this. However…
Flash actually appeared!
And he broke his right arm with one move.
His right hand was his lifeline. It had gone through tempering and could utilize any weapon skillfully! Its reaction time was also extremely fast. However, he did not even manage to catch a glimpse of the earlier attack.
Swordsman…
Was a Swordsman that terrifying?
Especially—
Six-star Swordsman!
“Get lost!
Taking into account that you have cultivated hard, I broke your arm as a warning…
If we encounter each other again next time…
You shall be killed without mercy!”
Flash’s hoa.r.s.e voice could be heard.
“Yes!”
The bespectacled man was terrified.
“Q-quickly leave!”
The team hurriedly left with the bespectacled man…
Of course.
That right hand on the ground… It tossed and turned for two rounds on the spot, its five fingers scuttled on the spot before running off to chase the bespectacled man.
Lu Ming was speechless.
This was crazy!
This was a six-star vocation core indeed. It could be even controlled at a distance!
He reckoned that the bespectacled man was afraid that he would refuse to let him bring away his right hand. Therefore, he secretly controlled it so that it would leave in an inconspicuous manner. After all, that was his vocation core…
And right then.
“T-thank you senior for saving my life,”
Jiang Feng’s weak voice could be heard.
Lu Ming took a glance.
Oh.
It would not die.
That bespectacled man was not a Swordsman after all…
The Energy Warrior attacked with a weapon and did as he pleased because he was a six-star. Although that strike had wounded Jiang Feng severely, he would not die from it.
Of course.
It was also possible that the bespectacled man deliberately did that to create in-camera effects…
“Are you alright?” Lu Ming asked.
“I’m okay.”
Jiang Feng shook his head.
As if he had done it many times, he took out healing items and a bundle of needle and thread. He then began to st.i.tch himself up.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Oh.
It seemed that he was alright now.
“Look out for yourself.”
Lu Ming left like a breeze.
There was no choice.
It was too abrupt for him to appear now…
Thankfully…
Jiang Feng was fine and he had saved him successfully. He would leave the rest to Old Jiang. Nevertheless, Lu Ming was stunned by the effect of the Stealing Card.
Sure enough, it could displace a six-star’s vocation core!
Albeit only for a short distance!
However…
This was already very terrifying!
Especially, when the hand belonged to an Energy Warrior…
It was true.
Think about it.
If your opponent is a six-star Energy Warrior and his vocation core tempering is the heart or nether regions…
Click!
The nether regions s.h.i.+fted position!
You’d be frightened to death, right?!
Although the Energy Warriors at such a level could retrieve their vocation cores after they were slightly displaced, it would also cause a huge impact on the body!
For example—
His hands suddenly broke!
Although this guy’s right hand had been severed, he could control his vocation core and make it return to him at any point in time. However, he dared not…
Therefore, he only dared to recall his right hand only after he left.
After all…
If someone can slash you once, he can do it a second time! He has just severed your right hand. If you return, believe it or not, he may severe something else with one slash again?
The terror was unmatched!
“Tsk tsk.”
Lu Ming was thrilled.
In the future…
This card could be specially used to restrain Energy Warriors!
Which Energy Warrior dared to be arrogant?
He would teach him a lesson!
As for other professions…
He was not very sure.
However, from the fact that this Energy Warrior’s right hand had been severed and that he could control it at any point in time, the Cloud Shuttle Card was unlikely to be effective when cast on long-distance vocation core…
At most, it would have a slight impact with a forceful displacement.
That was all.
When he returned to the shop, Lu Ming noted these down seriously.
These were precious testing data…
They were very important.
Old Jiang had been saved.
The killer had fled.
The Cloud Shuttle Card had testing data for six-star.
To Lu Ming, this was considered a perfect outcome.
However…
In certain places, the fame of the mysterious Swordsman ‘Flash’ was spreading. It even appeared on the Internet due to the appearance of a movie.
Two days later.
The mysterious Swordsman ‘Flash’ became a hot trending topic!
Lu Ming was dumbfounded.
The entire Qing Ming City was even more dumbstruck.
Especially—
Those who personally created the nickname of the mysterious Swordsman ‘Flash’…
However…
When they opened the video and saw that fight, they were stunned. It turned out that there was really someone called ‘Flash’?!
