After Luo Cheng finished restoring his Qi with the Qi Returning Pills, he removed the heap of stones covering the entrance of the cave and then cautiously observed his surroundings in search of anything or anyone suspicious.
Discovering nothing, he started moving deeper into the Bloodstone Forest. He decided he'd be on the offensive against the assassin this time around, rather than avoiding them.
Suddenly, Luo Cheng stopped moving. He glanced at the surroundings before he nodded lightly. The spot he stood just happened to be a spot that could be utilized to launch a surprise attack.
Because he was surrounded by dense growth of grass, and the grasses were over 3m tall. So, not to mention a single person, even 10 people would be impossible to notice while they hid amongst the tall grasses!
After pondering deeply for a moment on the
spot, Luo Cheng flipped his palm, and brought out three swords from his spatial ring, these were mid Level 3 swords. Although not as powerful individually as the high Level 3 sword he has, when combined together with the Nine Mystic Sword Technique they could unleash the power of a peak Level 3 sword.
With a command in his heart, the 3 swords transformed into rays of light that shot out from his palm and entered amidst the tall grasses.
After a moment of hesitation, Luo Cheng flicked his finger, and then his sword floated in front of him. He also brought out a high grade Dash Talisman from his spatial ring.
With a command in his heart, the sword carried the Talisman along as it flew into the dense leaves above him. After he finished doing all of this, Luo Cheng flashed into the tall dense grass, and then he restrained his aura and fell completely silent!
When facing a peak Houtian Realm assassin from the Bloodkill Pavillion, he didn't dare be careless or underestimate his opponents in the slightest. So, he could be said to have utilized almost all his trump cards for the sake of killing one of these assassins.
After two hours passed by, no one had made an appearance, so Luo Cheng continued maintaining the posture of a statue with his aura completely restrained and his eyes closed slightly. In next to no time, four hours had passed, six hours had passed.... However, not a single person had appeared here....
Just like this, an entire day had gone by. Luo Cheng opened his eyes from amidst the tall dense grass, and he glanced towards the surroundings through the gaps between the grass. He noticed that the surroundings were deathly silent and completely calm.
Luo Cheng frowned but didn't move at all because his intuition told him that the quieter it was, the more irregular the situation was!
Time slowly trickled by, and another day had passed. Luo Cheng was slightly impatient as he resided amongst the tall dense grass however, he still didn't move.
At this moment, he was very puzzled because he hadn't concealed his aura all along the way. Moreover, not only that, he'd even left some traces behind on purpose.
Logically speaking, they should have caught up by now. But why has there been no sign of anyone for two days now? Could it be that the assassin has given up on pursuing me? Or he's already here, waiting for me to show myself just like I'm waiting for them to show themselves?
When he thought up to here, the corners of Luo Cheng's mouth curled up slightly to form a strange smile. With a command in his heart, a sword that was hidden before a rock around 10m, away from Luo Cheng had suddenly moved lightly and severed a few blades of grass.
Right at this moment, an unexpected event occurred. A black shadow suddenly emerged from within an enormous tree, and the black clad figure shot towards the location of the sword with extremely swift speed.
In the shadows, Luo Cheng was delighted when he witnessed this scene, and then a wisp of a ruthless expression flashed in his eyes.
With a command in his heart, the three mid Level 3 swords shot into the air and instantly surrounded the black clad figure, and then they transformed into rays of light that shot explosively towards the black clad figure!
Luo Cheng hadn't held back this time, his sword core slowly rotated as his sword Qi surged out of his body and covered the surroundings as it enveloped down towards the black clad figure.
At the same time, he circulated the Primordial Fiendgod Technique and unleashed his full cultivation as he swiftly stomped his right foot on the ground, and he relied on the counterforce to shoot forward explosively like a cannonball!
Ji Cang's expression changed violently when he witnessed this scene. At this moment, he was naturally aware that he'd fallen into a trap. Of course, this wasn't the reason that his expression had changed, and it was because of the speed and strength possessed by the 3 swords instead.
The speed of the swords was swift to the point he wasn't able to dodge them at all. Moreover, even he had no choice but to fear the terrifying force contained within the swords that were enhanced by Luo Cheng's sword Qi!
When he'd first arrived here, the experience he'd accumulated through many years of serving as an assassin had told him that there was something wrong with this place. Because it was too quiet.
When he recalled the blood red mark on Ji Chuang's neck, he'd decided to be cautious in the end, and he didn't move around to search for Luo Cheng. However, after waiting for so long, even he was slightly impatient, and right when he was about to make a move, he suddenly noticed movement from the grass at the side!
When he witnessed this scene, the first thought in his mind was that Luo Cheng was unable to persist! After all, Luo Cheng wasn't an assassin, so how could Luo Cheng possess the patience that he possessed? Thus, he hadn't hesitated to make a move, and then tragedy fell upon him....
He didn't even have the time to think before he twisted his wrist, and the dagger in his hand emanated a cold glow as it shot towards Luo Cheng who was charging towards him.
On the other hand, he stomped the ground with both his feet and rose into the air. It wasn't that he didn't dare to go head-on with the might contained by those three swords, and it was instead because there was no reason. Fleeing immediately upon failure! An experienced assassin wouldn't go head-on with the target!
A wisp of a cold smile suffused the corners of Luo Cheng's mouth when he saw the black clad figure dodging upwards. With a command in his heart, the sword that was hidden above instantly transformed into a ray of light that shot directly downward.
Moreover, the high-grade Talisman was descending along with the sword! In midair, the Talisman exploded and then it instantly transformed into a crescent shaped blade of wind!
After the blade of wind appeared, the large trees in an area of over 15m in the surroundings had been instantly transformed into innumerable pieces while the blades of the tall grass below were immediately transformed into bits.
Ji Cang's eyes were filled with horror when he saw the blade of wind descend abruptly. Never had he imagined that Luo Cheng actually possessed a high-grade Talisman or that Luo Cheng would utilize it in such a manner. It had caused him to be unable to evade now even if he wanted to!
The blade of wind resided above him while the sword formation that carried terrifying strength had surrounded him. Ji Cang was terrified. Fortunately, he wasn't terrified to the point of losing his mind.
He took a deep breath and then activated his bloodline which added a bit of increase to his overall strength. His bloodline was a mid Silver Level, Spirit Blood Hound.
With the increase in his overall strength, a wisp of resolute expression flashed in his eyes.The Qi energy within his body surged out, and he forcefully stabbed the dagger in his hand at the blade of wind!
Bang!!
The blade of wind collided with dagger, and then the sword pierced through his chest, as he instantly fell swiftly from midair. Luo Cheng was delighted when he witnessed this scene.
Right when he was about to strike the final blow, a dagger suddenly appeared at his chest, and then the hairs on Luo Cheng's entire body instantly stood on end!
