When the sun rose from the horizon, all the soldiers stationed on guard breathed a sigh of relief. It was a peaceful night.
"Everyone, get up. It's time to hurry up. We'll have a rest when we get to Shanheyi."
Everyone recovered the transparent stones that had not exhausted their power, put away their tents, and prepared to continue setting off. Cheng Lu walked out of the camp and lazily looked at the rising sun.
"The air is really fresh." Zhan Yue followed and walked out. He didn't dare to sleep too much that night. After all, they were camping in the wild.
The moment he stepped into the camp, the Sun Stone in his hand sent out a wave of scalding heat.
"What's going on?" Zhan Yue lowered his head and looked at the red gem in his palm, only to see a red light passing from the top of his head, grazing his scalp. The blow was originally aimed at Zhan Yue's eyebrows, but because His sudden move narrowly missed him.
Before Zhan Yue could react, Cheng Lu on the side suddenly pushed him to the ground, "Get down!" The red light turned around and came at him again, but unfortunately this time Cheng Lu reacted first.
"Enemy attack!" With the order, everyone immediately became alert and prepared.
The assassin hiding in the distance looked at the dagger back in his hand, his eyes full of anger.
"Why can't you die? I, a dignified Yuexuan realm, have been following you for many days and ambushed here all night just to kill with one strike. This is the aesthetics of an assassin. If you don't die, won't it make me look like a clown? I really don't do everything right. Good luck!" The assassin gave up his disguise. Now that he has been discovered, let's fight head-on.
"The leader taught us that we are assassins and should behave in an assassin's way. However, after this mission, I will fly far away. Who will listen to the old guy's noise." The black-clothed assassin looked at the forty soldiers in front of him with pity. "There was no need for additional deaths, so who told that guy not to die? If you want to hate him, just hate him."
Naturally, he has the strength to kill everyone head-on at the Moon Profound Realm. He only chose the safest method due to his professional habits as an assassin. However, the assassination failed. At this moment, he was a little angry and wanted to go on a killing spree!
"Be careful! This person is a mysterious person!" Cheng Lu looked at the black-clothed assassin approaching and his face darkened. He could feel the suppression in his realm.
The soldiers took out their bows and shot, and arrows rained down, but the assassin in black walked among the rain of arrows like a leisurely walk. The bloody dagger in his hand was shrouded in blood energy and turned into a long bloody knife. This was his way of fighting head-on.
Cheng Lu took out a jade communication talisman and crushed it. "Shanheyi is guarded by the generals. They are extraordinary. We just have to hold on until they come to help!" Unfortunately, this place is still far away from Shanheyi. Cheng Lu felt There is no bottom either.
"Come back, don't fight with force!" Cheng Lu shouted. The gap between the enemy and us was too big, and he couldn't bear to see his brothers sacrifice their lives.
However, the black-clothed assassin was extremely fast. He walked into the military formation and slashed one at a time, killing several of his brothers in an instant.
Zhan Yue was heartbroken when he saw these brothers whom he had only known for a short time lying in a pool of blood. He clearly felt that the assassin's eyes had been locked on him.
"He came to kill me? That's right. The initial attack was also aimed at me." Zhan Yue quickly confirmed this, "We can't let their sacrifice be in vain. This person's strength is too terrifying. They stopped him." I can’t help it. Since he is coming for me..."
Zhan Yue found a horse nearby, got on it, and ran straight to the forest in the distance. He broke away from the team at such a fast speed that the people around him were confused and thought he was scared out of his wits.
Zhan Yue was indeed on the run, but it was to avoid casualties. The assassin looked at the galloping Zhan Yue and showed a disdainful smile, "You are really smart. You knew you were the target and escaped decisively. But can you escape?"
The assassin in black jumped up from the ground, stepped on the heads of the soldiers and chased in the direction of Zhan Yue. His first goal was to kill Zhan Yue, not to play with these soldiers. He crossed the military formation in an instant and rushed towards Zhan Yue. His speed was no slower than the horses.
"Sure enough, they are here for Zhan Yue." Cheng Lu looked at the figure from behind and then told the soldiers: "You guys watch the goods. Reinforcements will arrive soon. I will go rescue people."
Cheng Lufei got on his horse and chased after him.
"Captain! This person's strength is terrifying, we can't chase him!" Someone shouted from behind. The assassin's strength was obviously far superior to the captain's.
While Cheng Lu was riding her horse, she replied: "I promised to keep him safe, how could I break my promise and refuse to save him until he is dead?"
Just like that, Zhan Yue escaped at the front, and the killer chased behind. Zhan Yue's goal was the mountain forest not far away. As long as he walked deeper into the mountain, it would not be so easy to be discovered.
The assassin naturally saw what Zhan Yue was thinking, "It's really hard to let you escape into the mountains." He felt funny when he saw Zhan Yue clinging to the horse, seemingly guarding against his attack. "You know how to defend yourself, how should you defend your horse?"
The dagger in his hand turned into a line of blood again, and one of the legs of the running horse was suddenly cut off and it fell directly. Zhan Yue on the horse was naturally thrown away.
"Damn it, did you catch up so soon?" Zhan Yue rolled a few times and continued running towards the mountain forest, contacting the Goddess Tongming while running. Unfortunately, their communication was one-way, and only the Goddess Tongming could take the initiative. He contacted him, but he couldn't contact the goddess of transparency.
"My Lady Goddess, if you don't reply to me, we will be finished together!"
Zhan Yue didn't know how he provoked an evil god, but now was not the time to think about these issues.
The red line of death shot towards Zhan Yue's back again, but at this moment, a flash of fire stopped the dagger midway. Cheng Lu rushed over on horseback, and the horse suddenly hit the assassin in black.
The assassin dodged away, then grabbed the horse's leg in the air and threw Cheng Lu down with a strong swing. The horse was also thrown far away. The mysterious man's brute force was already terrifying.
"How dare a junior who is at the ninth level of the Yuling Realm and has not yet entered the Mysterious Realm stop me?" the black-clothed assassin said speechlessly. Someone really came to kill him.
"Captain..." Zhan Yue looked at Cheng Lu with some worry. The strength of the man in black was too terrifying, and Cheng Lu had no chance of winning.
"Come on, I'll drag him for a while and run into the mountains and forests. He may not have the skills to sense it." Cheng Lu said to Zhan Yue. Zhan Yue knew that her stay would be useless except to hold him back, so he could only run with all his strength.
"It's really touching, but how long can you stop me?" The assassin in black smiled disdainfully.
"Haha, how long can I stop him? Let's see how he moves!" Knowing the difference in strength, Cheng Lu used his unique skill to start his attack, hoping that the black-clothed assassin would relax his guard.
"Fire fangs!" The fire crystal dagger in Cheng Lu's hand turned into the teeth of a ferocious beast and headed towards the neck of the man in black.
"Win!" Cheng Lu saw that the black-clothed assassin was not guarding his neck. However, the red crystal armor suddenly covered the black-clothed man's neck, and this fierce knife was like cutting on a steel plate. The man in black kicked Cheng Lu several meters away.
"Is this your full blow, right? Now you know the gap between you and me?" The black-clothed assassin felt that he had talked a bit too much today, but this was his last mission, and he always had different ideas.
"So strong, I'm afraid it's not the Star Profound Realm? Could it be that he is a master of the Moon Profound Realm? Who did that boy Zhan Yue offend? How could he send such a powerful killer to kill him?" Cheng looked ashen, and it seemed that he would not survive today. .
"Your Excellency is so bold to kill our Dongguo soldiers in our Dongguo territory! This place is not far from Shanheyi, and there are experts coming to help. I advise you to stop as soon as possible." Cheng Lu said, hoping to delay it a little longer. time.
"You reminded me, I have to do it as soon as possible." The bloody dagger in the black-clothed assassin's hand turned into a big knife, and he fought with Cheng Lu. After several encounters, Cheng Lu was covered in blood, with several more wounds, and fell to the ground.
"You are a soldier who has awakened the elemental power. It is a pity to die here." The black-clothed assassin stepped on Cheng Lu's body, but was grabbed by a hand around his ankle.
