Chapter 22 - Assassination

Xu Feng spent three whole days getting familiar with the third level of the Ninefold Thunderblade, integrating his power delivery with his footwork.

After all, the original method of delivering power for the Ninefold Thunderblade could be applied to his legs.

"Three days, it's time to leave."

Xu Feng continued deeper into City 003.

It was midday. Under the early summer sun, Xu Feng carefully walked through the grass beside the road.

Forty meters away from Xu Feng, a shadow was silently lurking in the grass.

"This person's clothes are tattered, and there isn't a single scar on them. There's also no killing intent. It's obvious they're entering City 003 for the first time. They haven't experienced any battles. They've only made it this far because of their strength. Although they have the strength of a Warrior, they're still a rookie."

The shadow in the distance was calculating.

"I have a ninety percent chance of killing this rookie with no combat experience. I can make my move."

Xu Feng's clothes were torn by branches in City 003's thickets. He hadn't bothered to change, which had apparently attracted the attention of someone lurking in the shadows.

"Now's the time!"

The black shadow that had been hidden all this time silently drifted out, moving towards Xu Feng like a phantom.

Xu Feng suddenly felt a chill, and immediately dodged to the side. He turned to look behind him, seeing only a figure in black clothes holding a sharp blade, thrusting it directly at his throat. The cold light emitted from the blade startled Xu Feng. The cold, murderous eyes of the attacker made Xu Feng, who rarely faced such situations, feel a tightening in his chest.

Such speed! Just a mid-level Warrior, and they're this fast. Only slightly slower than me.

Xu Feng dodged to the side, but the black shadow was incredibly fast. The blade, gleaming with a dark light, was already upon him.

"Roar~"

Xu Feng, in his desperation, controlled the flying knife to shoot towards the shadow. The speed was astonishing. At that moment, in Xu Feng's eyes, the speed of the blade in the shadow's hand didn't seem so fast anymore.

"Argh!"

Xu Feng, at an unbelievable angle, shot a knife towards the meridian of the shadow's hand holding the blade. The shadow felt a terrifying force from Xu Feng's flying knife, making his hand feel like it was about to break. He couldn't hold onto the blade any longer, and it fell directly to the ground.

"A Spiritualist, such a powerful Spiritualist! Run!"

Seeing that Xu Feng could control the flying knife to attack, the shadow had only one thought: run. As an experienced veteran in the Wilderness Zone, he naturally knew how terrifying a Spiritualist was. Whether it was their ability to fly or their bizarre attack patterns, they were not something that could be dealt with by those of the same level.

Moreover, Xu Feng's current appearance was terrifying. His cold eyes made even him, a killer with blood on his hands, tremble. The dangerous aura emanating from Xu Feng constantly stimulated his heart.

"I have no grudge with him, yet he still attacked me. If my strength hadn't increased, I would have been killed by him! Damn scumbag, he definitely wouldn't be doing this for the first time, killing people and robbing materials."

Thinking about where the shadow had stabbed, his throat, Xu Feng couldn't help but feel a chill. The throat was the most vulnerable part of a person. If he hadn't concealed his strength as a Spiritualist, he would now be a corpse.

Moreover, the black shadow reminded Xu Feng of the human corpses he saw in the Wilderness Zone last time. He immediately identified the black-clothed man as someone who specifically targeted human warriors to steal monster materials. Now that the assassination had failed and he wanted to escape, it was not going to be that easy.

Xu Feng's flying speed was extremely terrifying. Spiritualists could fly, and in the original story, a peak War God-level Spiritualist could fly even faster than a planet-level warrior. Xu Feng's body seemed to transform into a ray of light, shooting towards where the black shadow was fleeing.

"Hmph, although I'm not your match, I've been in City 003 for many years and have the best survival skills here. It's too easy for me to shake you off."

The black shadow, sensing Xu Feng's pursuit, snorted coldly, his eyes filled with disdain. He admitted that he had underestimated Xu Feng's strength; he was definitely no match for Xu Feng in a direct fight. However, in his opinion, escaping was easy. As an assassin, the environment of City 003 was the most suitable for his escape.

The black shadow kept changing his escape trajectory. Although Xu Feng's speed was a bit faster, he couldn't fully utilize it in City 003. The thick trees became obstacles to his pursuit of the black shadow.

However, Xu Feng, consumed by rage, wouldn't give up the chase. He persistently pursued the black shadow, sticking close behind him. When the black shadow changed direction, Xu Feng followed suit, maintaining the same speed.

"Damn it, what a fool, running around recklessly in City 003. He's asking for death."

The black shadow, who had assassinated Xu Feng, was running desperately through tall grass, occasionally turning his head to glance at Xu Feng, who was hot on his heels. His eyes were filled with deep fear.

The center of City 003 was home to countless monsters, especially in the depths, where a large number of Lord-level Monsters lived, and even legendary monsters. Running around recklessly here was no different from seeking death.

At this moment, a throwing knife from Xu Feng struck the shadow's thigh, and its speed began to slow.

"Damn, my leg is injured. There's no way I can escape now."

The shadow's expression turned grim, revealing a ferocious glare.

"Since you won't let me go, then we'll die together! I remember last year when I was here, I encountered a Two-legged Flying Dragon. It's a Lord-level Monster, and it will definitely be able to kill him."

The Two-legged Flying Dragon, a type of dragon, is good at flying and has powerful attacks. Its dragon scales provide extremely strong defense. It's a very troublesome Lord-level Monster. Even a Warrior-level expert might be killed by it.

And the Two-legged Flying Dragon's territory was very close to here.

Lord-level Monsters all have their own territories. Humans who enter their territory are considered invaders and will be attacked without mercy.

Xu Feng didn't know that he was about to fall into a trap.

"Damn humans, daring to invade my territory! I'll tear you to shreds to vent my hatred!"

The Two-legged Flying Dragon had just settled down to sleep when it sensed the presence of humans approaching its territory. Its eyes flashed with a ferocious light, and it roared menacingly. Monsters naturally harbored a strong hostility towards humans. Spreading its wings, the Two-legged Flying Dragon soared into the air, heading towards the source of the scent.

Xu Feng saw the silhouette of the Two-legged Flying Dragon in the distance, and the sinister smile on his face grew even wider. He exerted all his remaining strength to launch his final attack!

Clang!

The dagger and the throwing knife met, producing a deafening sound!

Unfortunately, the strength of a Warrior-level warrior was on a completely different level compared to a God of War-level expert, especially since the black-clothed man was already injured in the thigh. The outcome had already been decided.

As Xu Feng's throwing knife knocked the black-clothed man's dagger away, another throwing knife pierced the black-clothed man's heart.

The black-clothed man would remain in City 003 forever.

At the same time, the sound of the weapons colliding also attracted the attention of the Two-legged Flying Dragon!

Before long, Xu Feng saw a massive monster flying through the air, heading towards him.

In the distance, a giant bird, fifteen meters tall and covered in steel-like feathers, was flying through the air. This dragon had purple markings all over its body, making it appear quite eerie.

"Not good, a Two-legged Flying Dragon! Damn it, this Two-legged Flying Dragon is at least a low-level Lord-level Monster. I don't think I can kill it now!"
