Ch 89: The Mentally Broken Assassin
“Heavenly Gang Realm…”
Yun Qing’s face changed.
He never imagined that a Heavenly Gang Realm strong person would come to kill him.
Wasn’t he doomed to die?
The two Profound Connection Realm experts he hired were absolutely no match for a Heavenly Gang Realm strong person.
“Fourth Prince, my apologies.”
The Black-Clothed Swordsman raised his hand and delivered a saber strike.
Straight towards Yun Qing’s head.
The speed was like lightning, so fast that even the two Profound Connection Realm experts couldn’t react.
Swoosh!
Saber Qi raged, cutting a deep trench in the sea surface.
“Hmm?”
Yun Qing thought he was dead.
However, opening his eyes, he couldn’t help but look at his body, touching his neck, finding himself completely unharmed.
He looked at the Black-Clothed Swordsman in surprise.
Black-Clothed Swordsman: “???”
“Unexpectedly, Fourth Highness is also an expert, able to dodge my saber strike.” The Black-Clothed Swordsman said, frowning. However, he found it strange. Yun Qing’s cultivation hadn’t reached Transcendent Realm, so how did he dodge his strike?
Yun Qing: “???”
Did I?
Am I that powerful?
“Your Highness…”
Others, seeing the Fourth Prince was alright, also breathed a sigh of relief. They truly thought the Fourth Prince was going to die just now.
“Your Highness, run!” The two Profound Connection Realm experts now felt their bodies heavy, unable to exert themselves, only urging Yun Qing to flee.
Yun Qing also knew this wasn’t the time to hesitate, turning around and running across the sea surface.
The Water Repelling Pearl allowed him to sink into the seabed without getting wet, and even allowed him to run wildly on the sea surface.
However, seeing the Fourth Prince run, the Black-Clothed Swordsman wasn’t the least bit nervous. In his view, a prey like the Fourth Prince was impossible to escape.
Swoosh!
In almost a breath’s time, the Black-Clothed Swordsman arrived behind Yun Qing, his saber slashing out like a thunderbolt.
This strike was even more terrifying than the previous one, emitting a sonic boom.
Even faster!
After the strike, the sea surface was as if it had been leveled.
“Fourth Highness, your head, I…”
The Black-Clothed Swordsman, upon saying this, was astonished, because he discovered Yun Qing was still unharmed, having dodged his strike again, and continuing to run forward.
Even Yun Qing couldn’t believe how he dodged that strike.
He only felt that when the saber struck, his body automatically dodged it.
Perhaps my Martial Way awakened?
Am I an unparalleled cultivation genius, a son of Heaven’s Mandate?
“Die!”
The Black-Clothed Swordsman refused to believe it. An ant who hadn’t even reached the Transcendent Realm could dodge two of his strikes?
It was a disgrace!
If word got out, that he, a dignified Blood Sacrifice Pavilion Gold Medal Assassin, used more than three strikes to kill an ant who hadn’t reached the Transcendent Realm, wouldn’t people laugh themselves to death?
It would affect his reputation.
“Kill!”
This time, he was serious. His domain was fully opened, Saber Qi bombarded Heaven and Earth, almost every strike making the world dark as night.
The oppressive Qi Wave crushed down, as if to shatter this sea area.
However, no matter how many strikes he delivered, Yun Qing was like an eel, always dodging his blade.
“Come here!”
The Black-Clothed Swordsman decided to stop using his saber, extending his hand, intending to grab Yun Qing and strangle him. But as his hand was about to touch Yun Qing’s body, Yun Qing’s body automatically dodged his hand.
“Impossible!”
He felt that nothing was more absurd than this.
Yun Qing himself felt it was too absurd. This was a Heavenly Gang Realm expert!
Was killing him this strenuous for a Heavenly Gang Realm expert?
His body always managed to avoid his attacks. Why?
“Your Highness, run! Run to North Sea City! North Sea City has the North Sea Great General!” The people behind shouted.
“Right.” Yun Qing only then remembered that the North Sea Great General was stationed in North Sea City. He was a Heavenly Gang Realm expert. This assassin might not be a match for the North Sea Great General.
“Can’t let him return to North Sea City.”
The Black-Clothed Swordsman knew that once Yun Qing returned to North Sea City, he truly wouldn’t have a chance.
The Heavenly Gang Realm expert in North Sea City was very strong, almost reaching the Esteemed Immortal Realm.
“Immortal Binding Rope!”
The Black-Clothed Swordsman directly used a Spirit Treasure.
A rope flew out, intending to bind Yun Qing.
But as his Immortal Binding Rope reached Yun Qing, Yun Qing directly dodged the binding, his body like an eel.
“Thunder Bell!”
The Black-Clothed Swordsman gritted his teeth, taking out a bell covered in Lightning Arcs, and striking it hard. In an instant, dark clouds gathered above the sea, and golden thunderbolts continuously struck down.
Boom boom boom!
Countless fish in the sea died, but Yun Qing still dodged them.
Yun Qing ran and ran, finally reaching the North Sea edge, North Sea City just a short distance away.
The Black-Clothed Swordsman also chased to the sea edge.
After delivering over a hundred strikes and using Spirit Treasures, he was now breathless from exhaustion.
Yet he hadn’t even touched a hair on Yun Qing.
Yun Qing was also panting heavily.
With his cultivation, he shouldn’t be this tired, but rather scared.
Being chased by a Heavenly Gang Realm assassin, and not wetting himself, Yun Qing felt his courage was commendable.
But he also didn’t know why he could dodge all of this person’s attacks.
“How did you do it?” The Black-Clothed Swordsman glared at Yun Qing viciously, feeling his career was ruined.
A dignified Heavenly Gang Realm assassin, failing to kill someone who hadn’t reached the Transcendent Realm, and exhausting himself in the process.
If word got out, where would he find any more work?
“I don’t know.” Yun Qing said helplessly, “Stop chasing. North Sea City is ahead. You can’t kill me.”
The Black-Clothed Swordsman looked at North Sea City behind Yun Qing, knowing he had no chance.
“I, Lin Shishui, will remember this debt. One day, I will kill you!” After saying this, the Black-Clothed Swordsman leaped, disappearing from Yun Qing’s sight.
Seeing him leave, Yun Qing collapsed onto the ground.
“So his name is Lin Shishui, Lin Shishui, Lin…Shishui?”
Suddenly, Yun Qing paused, then took out the red Water Repelling Pearl hanging around his neck, blinking.
“No way?” Yun Qing was speechless.
Li Hanzhou’s words echoed in his ears: “My Water Repelling Pearl, besides repelling water, has other special effects. Just wait for Your Highness to discover them.”
“The Water Repelling Pearl…not only repels water, but also avoids attacks from those with ‘water’ in their name?” Yun Qing was dumbfounded: “Holy crap, is this real?”
If it’s true.
Then this bead is a real treasure!
And this effect, even Li Hanzhou, far away at Tianxuan Academy, didn’t know.
He only knew his Water Repelling Pearl definitely had other uses, but what exactly they were, Li Hanzhou was also clueless.
Even if he now knew the function of his Water Repelling Pearl, Li Hanzhou would curse, “This is too damn unbelievable!”
