The Naughty Senior Sister
Senior Brother Against a Pay Killer
A shadowy figure rushed forward, wearing a black robe with a taper straw hat on top of his head. He moved so fast that his figure seemed to spin and dart like a shadow. Around him, layers of pitch-black aura appeared.
It was all that could be captured by the array of energy sword formations that Yan Xu had left with his shadow when using soul pursuit techniques.
According to Yan Xu's observation, this person was quite powerful.
There was a double scythe hanging on each side of his waist which was probably an earth class weapon. Normally, those who had a pitch-black aura with earth-level weapons were a top-tier assassin.
Yan Xu assumed that the person had already floated many lives with his double scythe, thus making the aura around him a pitch-black color that was extremely disgusting when felt through divine consciousness.
Yan Xu took a deep breath and adjusted his aura. Then, his running speed began to increase.
A while later, the pursuer sped up his pace as well. Moreover, he adjusted every single trajectory that Yan Xu had passed. That way, Yan Xu could be sure that he was the target of the pursuers.
The other party was likely at the seventh stage to the peak of the golden core. However, it could be that he had also hidden his original cultivation base to outwit Yan Xu. After thinking and observing it more deeply, Yan Xu made sure at least that person was at the fifth or sixth stage mystic realm.
This assumption was based on how the other party was moving and how he was expending his qinya energy. At the very least, within the mystic realm there would be a wisp of qi energy on the main part of the dantian that was housing an avatar.
There was a high chance that the person had already formed an avatar that was ready to be manifested in battle.
Yan Xu frowned. He was indeed urged to get involved by the wolf in sheep's clothing.
How should he face this scheme?
Yan Xu's first move was to use a soul pursuit technique. But after playing a chase in the shadows, he realizes that it is likely the pursuer has an artifact to track his whereabouts.
If he could get away this time and the other party could still catch up to him, it was certain that that fellow would not let go of him so easily.
Three kilometers in front of Yan Xu was an open plateau filled with poisonous grass in the absence of forests or places to hide.
Yan Xu clucked in his heart. His right hand summoned several energy swords as thick as three centimeters.
"I should have looked for an opportunity to kill the old man before, it was a pity that there was no gap when together with the other fellow sect members."
A wide variety of landmines Yan Xu had planted using the array of energy sword formations. After he finished, he used the blue wood heart technique then went into the ground. However, before entering the ground, Yan Xu had already cloned himself as a distraction.
The person who was chasing Yan Xu frowned. He pouted and felt an aura that moved swiftly into the ground. Once again, he jumped up and quickened his footsteps, chasing the target as fast as he could.
A moment later, Yan Xu appeared among the poisonous grass. He flicked the poisonous dragon urine at the aura that protected his entire body, making the entire poisonous insect run away at the same time.
Next, he raised his hand and replaced the miasma qi antidote talisman. Soon after, he had to continue running once more to find the right location.
At this moment, he heard the hissing of the weapon beside him.
The rays from the two scythes were faster than his his hissing, pointing right at Yan Xu's neck from two directions at once!
Yan Xu used a soul-chasing technique to move back a few steps with the blink of an eye, leaving behind a shadow that was hit by the slash of the two double scythes.
A wisp of black smoke swiftly went behind Yan Xu. It was a cultivator who wore a pointed bamboo hat on his head with a somewhat disheveled look. Behind the cloth dangling from his pointed bamboo hat, it could be seen clearly that he was smiling.
The moment the double scythe already felt hit the target, he simply tore the black shadow back. Yan Xu was already a few meters in front of him.
With his fluttering white immortal robe, Yan Xu waved his arm and an energy sword appeared in the grasp of his right hand.
Seeing that, the assassin chuckled amusedly and denounced, "Do you think an energy sword can fight an earth level weapon?"
After he finished saying that, the assassin directly advanced forward. The two double scythes charged swiftly and only the light from the weapon could be seen with the naked eye.
Yan Xu took the opening position and muttered softly, "First Lotus Sword Technique ..."
"Death to me!" shouted the excited assassin.
"Bloom."
Ding!
Sparks of fire came out from the violent clash between Yan Xu's qi energy sword and the assassin's double scythe. With his double scythe, the assassin already had the advantage in attacking from both directions but Yan Xu's sword movement was extremely skilled in breaking each trajectory of his scythe attack.
Furthermore, both of his hands felt numb from the violent impact of Yan Xu's energy sword.
'How can an energy sword have this strong concentration?!'
The mercenary felt the air around started to feel cold, his eyes twitching as he looked at the unharmed Yan Xu even still standing firmly and looked at him like a hunter.
The assassin gritted his teeth while saying, "How can your energy sword match the strength as well as the sharpness of an earth-level weapon?"
Yan Xu shook his head and said, "Your weapon is only a semi-earth level, not an actual earth level. What's more, I'm just bad at music, swimming, calligraphy, and line-up."
Listening to Yan Xu's overbearing tone did not make the assassin feel any anger, his frown was right in sight and right as it was.
Yan Xu's sword path technique was just the first move and his arm had already been rendered numb so it was unable to hold the scythe. However, the hitman still refused to give up on completing his mission.
The assassin was pouring all the qi energy on his body and the black aura shot out extremely intensely. His eyes reddened and he loudly shouted, "Avatar!"
A snake-shaped avatar with a ten-foot-tall three-head appeared, actually the snake had nine heads but the other head was still bent down like it had not been activated yet.
The three-headed snake avatar in pitch black roared loudly, causing a powerful shockwave around it to hit Yan Xu.
Yan Xu casually tapped his foot onto the ground and an invisible barrier blocked the shockwave that was about to hit him.
Skillfully, he took out some talismans that read 'seals' and used the blue wood heart technique to sneak them underground. Next, he paid close attention to the avatar form of that assassin.
'Avatar in animal form? So, this person was from a foreign tribe, no wonder he would form such a disgusting avatar. Seeing that there were assassins from foreign tribes, the scale of the rebellion of General Lao and also Mo Li was definitely not something the Emperor could take for granted. After all, they had already dared to join hands with foreign tribe members!'
"Unfortunately, the person who gave this mission to you is extremely unintelligent," Yan Xu shook his head slowly.
"What do you mean?!"
