Chapter 482: Eight Masters Hunted in a Single Night
Lin Xiaosu said, "I've long known this road can't be pursued! I never intended to follow it! The earlier steps were just groundwork. I only needed one thing!"
"What is that?"
"To cover for the upcoming assassination against key targets using the Wing Blade!" Lin Xiaosu said calmly.
"Key targets?" Saintess Qian Ling was shocked. "You have a list of key targets?"
"Do you know why I destroyed your cabin?"
Saintess Qian Ling's eyes widened...
She had asked him this question before.
His answer was ambiguous: destroy your cabin, and from now on you would only stay at Tashan Lake, never leaving me.
The original words were different, but the ambiguous meaning was the same.
What's that?
Your answer wasn't the truth?
Lin Xiaosu seemed to have seen through her confusion at a glance and smiled, "Destroying your cabin, leaving you to settle down in Daxia, was certainly a beautiful expectation, but it wasn't the only reason. There was another reason: I knew that exposing myself in your cabin would prompt an attack from a batch of top assassins."
"The key targets you mentioned, are they them?"
Lin Xiaosu replied, "Yes. These eight people appeared around the cabin at the first instance. They have already stepped onto Naihe Bridge, and tonight, the Nine Headed Snake will experience a wrenching pain!"
Saintess Qian Ling took a deep breath, "These eight people appeared right under our noses, you didn't make a move then, and now they've dispersed. Do you plan to use the Wing Blade to take them down one by one?"
"Yes! If they were together, we would struggle to kill them, but three days have passed and they must have already separated."
"Using the Wing Blade in cooperation with us, teaming up to kill any one of them wouldn't be difficult. But as you said, three days have passed. Are you confident in finding them?"
Lin Xiaosu laughed, "This is my track!"
On that night!
The Wing Blade soared through the air, with two people on its back!
Lin Xiaosu and Saintess Qian Ling.
The two returned to the Alpine Mountains.
Lin Xiaosu's gaze penetrated ten thousand meters of altitude, through the night sky, using time space reversal to lock onto a person. The Wing Blade dashed through, reaching a southwestern city with incredible speed.
In a hotel, a man was sleeping.
Suddenly, a cracking sound, the window shattered.
The man was exceptionally alert, opened his eyes sharply to see a Wing Blade swooping in, its sharp wings like two Hell Blades.
The man was shocked, his body lifting into the air, and as he rose, a sharp blade appeared in his hand.
That reaction speed was not inferior to Blood Trace's in the slightest.
Clang!
A loud metallic crash, the man was flung backward, crashing through the wall, the entire hotel in chaos. His reaction speed unparalleled, his body suddenly plunged towards a river behind him.
Suddenly, swish!
A silver flash of unmatched sharpness seemed to emerge from thin air, accurately slicing across the man's throat. His head flew off, eyes wide open, completely incredulous.
With a swoosh, two shadows leaped from the ruins, breaking into the sky, the Wing Blade soaring, catching them, then piercing into the firmament, disappearing without a trace.
In the next moment, they returned to the starting point, changing route!
In less than an hour, Lin Xiaosu and Saintess Qian Ling made five round-trips.
Five top experts fell under their hands.
All five, in Lin Xiaosu's sight, were Nirvana!
Nirvana are difficult to kill individually, but under such abrupt assault, in the joint efforts of Lin Xiaosu, Saintess Qian Ling, and the Wing Blade, killing them took only an instant.
In the ancient manor, Fog Heavenly King was awakened from her dreams for the first time.
Upon reaching the council chamber, she received this news.
Once this news arrived, Fog Heavenly King, a First-class Heavenly King renowned in the Nine Headed Snake for her wit, truly lost her color.
"In just an hour, five Nirvana distributed across three countries were all killed?"
"Yes! Subordinates truly cannot imagine how he managed to do this!" The middle-aged gentleman at that moment could no longer maintain a gentlemanly demeanor, his hair disheveled, body trembling.
"Using the Wing Blade can certainly reach these places within an hour, but this also requires precise pre-control that no detective could possibly achieve. No miraculous detective skill could do it! Unless the detective himself wasn't using detective skills at all..." Fog Heavenly King's voice abruptly fell silent, "Who are the five people you mentioned?"
Five images were presented...
Fog Heavenly King's expression changed drastically, "These are all the people who surrounded the mountain cabin that day! He deliberately exposed himself then, it turns out with such sinister intentions! Notify the remaining three immediately, any delay and catastrophe awaits!"
Fog Heavenly King finally understood.
Lin Xiaosu left a tracker on purpose that day not just to mock her; there was also a sinister strategy, that is, to lure experts forward.
On that day, when the experts encircled, he dared not move. But when they dispersed, he could use his miraculous Tracking Technique to settle accounts one by one.
Each piece he placed on his chessboard had a purpose!
Every step was calculated!
And this exceedingly sinister calculation, Fog Heavenly King fell for once again.
The cost was that five top experts were successfully ambushed by him.
These top experts were all Nirvana, cultivated by the Nine Headed Snake at great expense over decades on the seven Nirvana Islands worldwide. The cost of cultivating each of them far exceeded an equivalent amount of gold.
In more than an hour, losing five people, Fog Heavenly King's heart bled.
This must be remedied quickly!
Notify the first person!
No connection...
The middle-aged gentleman's face turned blue. Such a dedicated line should never fail to connect, if received, there's no reason not to answer.
Failure to connect probably only indicates one thing: the person has been "deactivated"!
Just as the second one was connected, before a word could be uttered, there was a sharp, urgent hiss, followed by half a scream...
Fog Heavenly King's complexion completely changed, her breath completely halted.
From the communicator came a voice, very soft, "Fog Heavenly King, is it you?"
Sounding both male and female!
However, Fog Heavenly King knew clearly, this person was Lin Xiaosu!
She was clad entirely in mist.
Lin Xiaosu said, "Have you heard this saying? It's called...'roles in battle switch sides'!"
Fog Heavenly King's heart suddenly tightened.
Roles in battle switch sides!
This is a statement from Daxia Country, representing a switch in roles.
From this moment onward, the hunter and the prey have exchanged places!
He, Lin Xiaosu, will transform into the Hunter, and the important members of Nine Headed Snake are his prey!
Bang!
The communicator shattered.
There's one last person!
This person is extraordinary!
Because he is not a Nirvana, he is a Heavenly King!
Iron Blood Heavenly King!
Fog Heavenly King contacted him, the connection successful…
When Iron Blood Heavenly King heard the message, he slammed the table and stood up: "Good! Very good! I will wait for him!"
Black Sea Shore.
A villa.
In the courtyard, ancient trees towered, and shadows flitted through the yard.
The defense lines were activated simultaneously.
Because confidential information had been received, indicating an extremely dangerous assassin was coming.
At first, the people inside were very happy.
An assassin is coming?
Great, just as we're feeling bored, killing a few oblivious so-called assassins would be fun, wouldn't it?
Dare to intrude the villa of Iron Blood Heavenly King, you ask around globally, who is so ignorant?
However, quickly, the intelligence was supplemented…
The more it's supplemented, the more shocked the people were…
This evening, it was not the visitor's first action, he had acted seven times, killed seven people, all of them were Nirvana!
Upon hearing this, everyone was terrified.
Nirvana, these three characters alone, were enough.
Nirvana, in terms of skills alone, could rival a Heavenly King.
The visitor, in one night, killed seven Nirvana figures, no wonder the Heavenly King was so cautious.
Who exactly is he?
It is a legendary figure from Daxia Country, under his hand, there were already the lives of two Heavenly Kings, the White clothed King and the Shadowy Heaven King.
"Everyone! Every position! Level 1 alert!" The orders from above were issued, extremely solemn.
The night wind blew, in this place close to the north, it was extremely cold.
All the equipment was fully activated.
Everyone was on duty.
All defenses were completely engaged…
On the electronic surveillance screen, there was no abnormality at all.
However, standing by the window, Iron Blood Heavenly King suddenly raised his head, behind a mountain, a tiny black dot!
Upon seeing this black dot, the Iron Blood Heavenly King, who roamed the world without fear, tensed up: "It's here!"
The black dot descended from the sky!
At lightning speed!
It was the Wing Blade!
The Wing Blade was launched, radar was ineffective, visible only to the naked eye, and not all eyes could see it, for most it was just a blink, the Wing Blade had reached the villa.
With a loud boom, countless shadows simultaneously flew up, pouncing toward the position of the Wing Blade.
There were flying devices, Genetic People, and even the latest flying robots, larger than the Wing Blade.
On the Wing Blade, a graceful shadow flickered down, landing on an ancient tree in the courtyard.
With a swish, this ancient tree's branches suddenly started growing wildly.
Hiss hiss hiss…
Countless branches, like a thousand-armed Guanyin, stabbed in all directions.
The first wave of attack officially commenced.
And the Wing Blade in the air shot directly toward where Iron Blood Heavenly King was.
It was so precise, without the slightest error.
Iron Blood Heavenly King raised his hand, and a huge blade appeared out of nowhere, and his body inexplicably doubled in size, over two feet tall.
With a lift of the huge blade, there was a thunderous tremor, and the platform under his feet cracked, and the Wing Blade, traveling at 30 Mach, was forcibly shaken open. He himself was also launched by the fierce impact of the Wing Blade into the castle behind him, and the castle was instantly pierced through with a large hole.
Iron Blood Heavenly King, with just his own strength, had forcibly shaken off the Wing Blade.
This was unprecedented in history.
However, as Iron Blood Heavenly King got up from the ruins, in front of him, a sword suddenly appeared!
This sword was only four feet long.
Nor was it solid.
However, as this sword slashed, Iron Blood Heavenly King suddenly felt a massive mountain toppling over.
He raised his huge blade to block this sword.
Boom!
Iron Blood Heavenly King stepped back three steps, and his huge blade shattered inch by inch.
"Kill!" Iron Blood Heavenly King raised his right fist, punching toward Lin Xiaosu.
This punch, under the starlight, was clearly visible, not like a physical body at all, but like a world-shaking hammer.
Lin Xiaosu raised his Five Elements Sword again, confronting directly.
This time, Iron Blood Heavenly King didn't even step back, only his clothes completely shattered, exposing his steel-like vigorous body, shimmering with metallic gleam.
"Good!" Lin Xiaosu shouted loudly: "Again!"
The sword fell!
Iron Blood Heavenly King took a step forward, concentrating all his strength, using his huge fist to face Lin Xiaosu's heavy sword; this punch was sure to shatter this sword!
However, the earth-shaking collision did not occur.
Lin Xiaosu's sword suddenly disappeared without a trace.
He then instantly teleported, appearing behind Iron Blood Heavenly King, gently touching a finger to the back of Iron Blood Heavenly King's head.
The frontal attack, fiercely strong.
This touch, gentle and graceful.
Theoretically, let alone a finger, even if a bullet truly hit the back of Iron Blood Heavenly King's head, it would hardly cause any substantial damage, yet, this finger touched the back of his head.
Iron Blood Heavenly King's eyes suddenly widened, his gaze filled with confusion…
