Chapter 204 - Silver Mask a.s.sa.s.sin"Who is it? After following me for so long, it should be time for you to show yourself, right?"
Not long after he left the Heavy Sword Sect"s spirit stone vein, Ling Dao sensed that someone was following him. Fortunately, his spiritual sense was strong enough. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn"t have noticed. After all, he only had a feeling that he didn"t even know where the people following him were."Could he really discover me?" How could a Rushing the Sky Stage pract.i.tioner do this? "
The one following Ling Dao was none other than the killer of the Killing House. There were already a.s.sa.s.sins that could buy information about Ling Dao from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, so other a.s.sa.s.sins could naturally do the same. The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets was known for being omniscient and omniscient. They all knew of Ling Dao"s news very clearly.Right now, this black-clothed a.s.sa.s.sin was much smarter than the other two. Not only did he buy Ling Dao"s location in the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, he also bought an introduction to Ling Dao"s cultivation realm and battle power. Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, he naturally understood the general knowledge of victory in a hundred battles.
"If it wasn"t for your bounty getting higher, who would be willing to come so far to kill you?"
On this killer"s face was a silver mask. Anyone who knew the Killing House would know how terrifying this silver mask killer was. Only by killing the Origin Stage Warrior would he be qualified to wear the silver mask.
The silver masked killer who was chasing Ling Dao was not Origin Stage Warrior. Like Hong Tairan, he was just half a step away from Origin Stage. However, his strength was definitely a lot stronger than Hong Tairan"s. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have killed Origin Stage Warrior before.
The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets was well-informed. If this silver mask killer had only bought this today,"s cultivation and battle power introduction would probably be completely different from the one he had bought previously. The information he received was that Ling Dao was at the late stage of the Rushing the Sky Stage, and could fight against Late stage Imperial Sky Realm martial artist.
"What is it? Killing House"s killer, are you still not willing to come out? "
Ling Dao frowned, even with his power, he was unable to determine who was following him. In any case, one thing was certain, the people who had come were not kind. They had been following him for so long, so they were probably going to take his life.
If it was a Heavy Sword Sect Ranker, he would have already stood out to deal with them. Furthermore, the Heavy Sword Sect warriors did not have such high tracking abilities. Even if Hong Tairan wanted to follow Ling Dao, he would definitely be discovered by him.He could easily determine that the one following him was the killer of Killing House, and the target of that killer was obviously him. The entire King Carefree Palace had been annihilated except for him, the His Highness the Crown Prince, who was still alive and well.
"Then continue following me. I need to eat something first!"
He immediately found a big rock and used the Heavenly Thunder Sword to flatten the surface of the rock. He ignored the killers following him and started to eat and drink to his heart"s content. The strong aroma of the wine quickly wafted into the black-clothed a.s.sa.s.sin"s nose.
"This stinking brat, is he courting death?"
The reason why the silver-masked a.s.sa.s.sin did not make a move was because he had received news from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. Ling Dao had once engaged in a great battle with Origin Stage Warrior"s Zhong Luohai, and had even injured Zhong Luohai.What he wanted to do was to find the best opportunity to kill Ling Dao in one strike. Ling Dao was only at the Rushing the Sky Stage, so he definitely had some sort of trump card to be able to injure Zhong Luohai. If it was not for the critical moment, Ling Dao would definitely not use his trump card.
Unfortunately, what made the silver masked killer go crazy was that in the past few days, Ling Dao had not revealed any loopholes. Even if he was sleeping, Ling Dao"s senses were extremely sensitive. As long as he made any movement, Ling Dao would be able to detect it.He was only a Peak Imperial Sky Realm martial artist and still needed to sleep. Following Ling Dao around during this period was a type of torture for him. If Ling Dao"s bounty wasn"t that high, he would have left long ago.
Now, Ling Dao was even more despicable, actually eating and drinking to his heart"s content in front of him. Perhaps, Ling Dao would only be able to use his trump card against Zhong Luohai once.
"Are you finally willing to make a move?"
Ling Dao, who was currently drinking, had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He was not afraid of the hidden killer"s sword. He was only afraid that the a.s.sa.s.sin would not attack. It was naturally very difficult to always be on guard against an unknown enemy. Even he had a headache.In the next moment, all the hair on Ling Dao"s body stood up, and a huge sense of danger enveloped his heart. The strength of the silver masked a.s.sa.s.sin was just too tyrannical. Even Ling Dao would never have thought that the Killing House would send such a killer to deal with him.
The silver sword was now less than three inches away from his chest. At the critical moment, he immediately took out her Heavenly Thunder Sword and activated the Rushing Thunder Shadowless Sword. The Heavenly Thunder Sword transformed into a bolt of lightning, and finally blocked the silver masked a.s.sa.s.sin"s sword attack.Sparks flew as Ling Dao"s expression became serious. The strength of the silver mask killer had already far surpa.s.sed Hong Tairan"s. Furthermore, the silver-masked a.s.sa.s.sin had no intention of fighting him head on. If he failed with a single sword attack, he would disappear right in front of him.
"Up there!"
Fortunately, Ling Dao had reacted fast enough, the silver masked killer had descended from the sky and raised his sword to attack. This strike was sharper than the previous one. The true energy within the silver masked a.s.sa.s.sin"s body had turned into a hurricane as it swirled forward.
The Heavenly Thunder Sword did not show any weakness as it rushed forward, and the two sword tips collided. Ling Dao"s face sank as a majestic power flowed out from the Heavenly Thunder Sword and landed on his body. His feet stepped on the ground and sunk into the soil.
Ling Dao was sure that the silver masked a.s.sa.s.sin"s power was stronger than his. At least nine young dragons. In other words, if the silver masked killer could wield a force of 900,000 jins with a single hand, he could easily destroy mountains.
Actually, the silver masked a.s.sa.s.sin was not in a good situation either. A strange force came from his sword, causing his senses to become sluggish. Ling Dao had already grasped a bit of the power of the thunder origin, and had used it just now.
"Eight Steps of Star Chasing!"
Ling Dao"s feet suddenly stomped on the ground, causing the ground to split into pieces. His entire body charged towards the sky, and within eight steps of the Eight Steps of Star Chasing, he would be able to step onto the stars. With every step he took, the silver masked killer would take a step back.
The originally silver masked killer had fallen, but now he was pushed up into the air by Ling Dao. Just as he was about to use his killing move, a black iron sword appeared in Ling Dao"s left hand.
Ling Dao"s body was tyrannical, now holding onto the black iron sword in his left hand, he ferociously smashed it towards the silver masked killer. He held the Heavenly Thunder Sword in his right hand and continued to fight with the silver masked a.s.sa.s.sin, while his left hand held the black iron sword, making it impossible for the silver masked a.s.sa.s.sin to defend against him.
If you had to blame something, you could only blame the silver masked a.s.sa.s.sin for killing you. It was impossible to avoid the black iron sword at this time. The black iron sword slapped onto him and sent him flying.Ling Dao steadily landed on the ground, the silver-masked a.s.sa.s.sin also coughed out a large mouthful of blood, and a few bones in his body were shattered by the black iron sword. The silver-masked a.s.sa.s.sin"s eyes were filled with shock. How could this Rushing the Sky Stage kid be so strong?
"Nightfall!"After being injured by Ling Dao, the silver masked killer had also been angered. If this matter were to spread, he would most likely be laughed to death by other a.s.sa.s.sins. The Innate Qi in his body suddenly shrouded the area where Ling Dao was, blocking out all the light.
Ling Dao who was inside could no longer see anything. It was not surprising that the silver masked killer had such a method. Ling Dao had already experienced something similar. Right now, Ling Dao was not nervous at all. Relying on his hearing, he was not afraid of the silver masked a.s.sa.s.sin, since the silver masked a.s.sa.s.sin was injured and could not unleash 100% of his power.
"Kill!"
From the beginning to the end, the silver-masked a.s.sa.s.sin did not say anything. What he wanted to do was to kill Ling Dao and receive a generous bounty. At this time, his sword was already filled with boundless killing intent.
When the sword thrust out, a sharp sword beam attacked towards Ling Dao at an extremely fast speed. In the eyes of the silver-masked a.s.sa.s.sin, the already invisible Ling Dao, it was already not possible for his to block his sword attack.
He was a trained a.s.sa.s.sin, so long as he could pierce through Ling Dao"s body with his sword, he would be able to pierce through Ling Dao"s heart. If he didn"t even have this much accuracy, then his a.s.sa.s.sination attempt would have been in vain.
It was just as the silver masked killer had thought, Ling Dao had not been on guard and his body had been pierced through. However, the silver masked a.s.sa.s.sin wasn"t happy at all. On the contrary, he was covered in cold sweat.Because, after the sword had pierced Ling Dao"s body, there was nothing obstructing it at all, and Ling Dao"s body also did not bleed at all. This sword did not seem like it had stabbed into a person"s body, but rather into the air.
"It"s an afterimage?!"
The silver masked a.s.sa.s.sin"s face fell, but it was too late. With the Carefree Sword in hand, Ling Dao slashed towards him. At this critical moment, Ling Dao had already switched her Heavenly Thunder Sword to Carefree Sword, all for the sake of killing the silver masked a.s.sa.s.sin.Such a tyrannical hitman would definitely brandish his sword to block this kind of attack at such a crucial moment. Just as Ling Dao had expected, the silver masked a.s.sa.s.sin was still able to wave the sword in his hand in panic, chopping down towards Ling Dao.
If Ling Dao used the Heavenly Thunder Sword, he would at most be able to push the silver masked killer back. Killing the silver masked killer was simply an impossible task. However, Ling Dao was currently using an extremely sharp Carefree Sword, so naturally, these Heavenly Thunder Sword could not be compared to him.
The two swords clashed, causing the silver masked a.s.sa.s.sin"s pupils to constrict. The sword in his hand was cut in half. As for the Carefree Sword in Ling Dao"s hand, it slashed towards the silver mask killer with its fastest speed.
No matter how fast the silver masked a.s.sa.s.sin retreated, it was all useless. Ling Dao had already activated her Eight Steps of Star Chasing and chased after him with his fastest speed. In a short distance, the speed of the silver masked killer could not even compare to Ling Dao"s Eight Steps of Star Chasing.
The Carefree Sword stabbed towards the silver masked a.s.sa.s.sin"s chest, seeing that there was no hope of survival, the silver masked a.s.sa.s.sin swung his sword and stabbed towards Ling Dao, wanting to exchange his life for Ling Dao"s. If Ling Dao had to retreat, that would be for the best.
Puff.
Unfortunately, the silver masked killer had forgotten, his sword was already broken. When the Carefree Sword pierced his chest, his sword had not touched Ling Dao. As strong as the silver masked killer, an existence that had once killed Origin Stage Warrior, died under Ling Dao"s sword just like that!
