As soon as Ye Jiao saw that, she dashed to Wei Cheng"s direction as fast as she could. Her dagger was aimed to the man"s stomach, hoping that it would reach him before he could finish his preparation.Peng!
The sound of the metal hitting his flesh resulted in a loud sound. Ye Jiao"s heart sank when she saw the dagger only reached a few centimeters deep into his flesh.
This….
Wei Cheng swung his sword to Ye Jiao, which she evaded quickly.
Slas.h.!.+
The edge of the blade hit her arm, creating a long line of wound. Blood seeped out of the line while Ye Jiao"s expression was solemn. The man"s strength has increased by several folds that it would be impossible for her to defeat him in normal condition anymore.
One wrong move and her head would be the price.
Wei Cheng"s face was full of smiles. From the last clash, he could sense that Ye Jiao was only at around the same rank with him. With this secret technique that he got from helping out the Barbarian Kingdom, he would be able to defeat this a.s.sa.s.sin.
"Come over here, you d.a.m.ned a.s.sa.s.sin!"
Ye Jiao"s eyes were cold. Her hand gripped her dagger tighter as she calmed herself down. This would not be the first time she faced someone stronger than her. Even though they might not have this much absolute advantage in strength, she would surely find a way to defeat him.
Yes, he has become much more powerful, but if he couldn"t touch her, it would be for naught.
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
With that in mind, Ye Jiao focused her Eon Energy to her legs and propelled herself to move even faster. Her mind was set. She was determined to make sure that he wouldn"t be able to catch up with her.
Slas.h.!.+ Clang! Swis.h.!.+
Her dagger continuously hit the man"s flesh. They were not deep, but soon numerous wounds were formed all around Wei Cheng"s body. From the way Wei Cheng moved, Ye Jiao could see that he was not used with wielding this much power.
This gave her an advantage.
Her mind recalled her mother"s battle with Su Lian back in the past. At that time, her mother also used speed to match up against that woman. Using her agility to the fullest, Su Lian was unable to touch her mother even once.
The ape like power that Su Lian had was for naught as she couldn"t" even reach her mother.
This time, it was the same.
Wei Cheng was unable to touch her. As his sword continuously swung in several directions and made deep engraves on the ground, not a single one of them hit her. They all hit the ground or other objects around them.
Slas.h.!.+ Clang!
"Stop running away!" Wei Cheng roared angrily.
Slas.h.!.+
Ye Jiao twisted her body and attacked the young man"s back. Her gaze was cold as she immediately moved away because Wei Cheng directed his sword to her direction.
Swis.h.!.+ Slas.h.!.+
The blade bypa.s.sed her and hit the ground instead. The power that Wei Cheng used caused deep cracks to appear on the ground, creating another long line because of his sword.
"You-!" Wei Cheng"s breathing has turned rough. As he was using his power to the fullest to match Ye Jiao"s speed with his newfound power, his Eon Energy consumption was large.
Granted, Blood Berserk Enhancement didn"t use Eon Energy too much, but his movements still required it. After all, he didn"t have the same body as those barbarians who trained their muscles to the fullest because of their lack of talent.
"You won"t last for long."
Slas.h.!.+
As Ye Jiao"s dagger hit the young man"s shoulder, her eyes lit up. She could feel that her blade had reached even deeper into the young man"s body. The effect of the Blood Berserk Enhancement should be dismissed by now.
Her lips curled up into a smile as she moved even faster to attack Wei Cheng. She had heard that this secret technique would allow the user to become 300% stronger than usual, but it would only last for a short moment. After the effect was nullified, they would instead feel weakened.
This would be the biggest weakness of this technique.
Last for a short moment and there was a side effect afterwards.
Sensing her coming, Wei Cheng quickly raised his blade and stopped the trajectory of Ye Jiao"s attack.
Clang!
The two metals clashed with one another. This time, Wei Cheng could sense that his power has started to decrease. His heart sank. If he still couldn"t defeat this a.s.sa.s.sin within the short amount of time that the Blood Berserk Enhancement gave him, it would mean that he would die.
No!
This couldn"t be happening.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Slas.h.!.+
Ye Jiao"s dagger once again hit him. This time, it was his arm. As blood stained his arm, Wei Cheng pushed Ye Jiao back using the last bit of strength he had with him. Blood continued to flow, reaching his hand and sword.
The two of them stopped moving for one moment. Wei Cheng has lost too much blood that he would die if he didn"t treat himself soon. On the other hand, Ye Jiao also has started to feel the fatigue after fighting with a lot of people.
All of a sudden, Ye Jiao sensed danger and leaped out of her location.
Bam!
A large piece of rock fell on the location where she stood just now. Looking at the side, she could see Su Lian storming in with rage on her eyes.
"d.a.m.n a.s.sa.s.sin! I"m your opponent now!"
The moment Su Lian appeared, Wei Cheng retreated to the back as fast as possible. Su Lian looked surprised to see his son"s appearance with red lines of blood around his face, but she didn"t care for it right now. She had to take care of this a.s.sa.s.sin as fast as possible before she lost her son.
She might not be as powerful as before, but she was still Eon Energy Master rank 3. With her advantage in strength, she quickly stormed to Ye Jiao"s direction with her fist ready to smash her.
Ye Jiao"s eyes flashed with coldness. If only Su Lian appeared a bit later, she would have finished Wei Cheng. Now, she was already fatigued because of the continuous battle and Su Lian has much more strength compared with Wei Cheng in his berserk state.
Bam!
Swis.h.!.+
Kicking on the ground, Ye Jiao evaded the attack. Seeing the crate on the ground, her expression turned grim.
This would not be easy.
