Five meters, three meters, two meters……
Liu Qing has no idea that Nie Li is already behind him.
Suddenly, Liu Qing felt a murderous intend locked onto himself, a sense of crisis pierced through his heart. He was surprised, suddenly turned himself around and threw a kick out.
However, this kick did not land on anything. There was no one behind him.
“What exactly is going on?” Liu Qing felt an endless chill in his heart. He clearly felt a murderous intent, but when he turned back, he did not find anything.
Just when Liu Qing was relieved, a figure suddenly appeared beside him. ‘Psh’, a cold light flashed in the darkness across Liu Qing’s neck.
Liu Qing’s neck was cut across, a trace of fresh blood gushed out. His mouth was wide open, yet nothing was said. His eyes slowly dimmed. ‘Plop’ and his head fell to the ground.
Liu Qing did not understand even at his death, what exactly attacked him. From the start of his cultivation until now, he experienced thousands if not hundreds of attacks, but he has never experienced this kind of attack before.
However, he no longer had a chance to find out.
After Nie Li’s strike succeeded, he went into void-form again, back into hiding.
He lurked around Liu Qing’s corpse, preparing for the next ambush.
For his first sneak attack, Nie Li wasn’t quite satisfied with it. As before his attack, his murderous intent was actually found out by Liu Qing. Although he eventually succeeded his attack, for Nie Li, it’s still a failure.
A real assassin would kill the enemy without them noticing.
Because Nie Li has just started merging with the Shadow Devil Demon Spirit, his control over the Shadow Devil ability is not that skillful yet. Having a failure is normal. His first time could already do this. If this was anyone else, they would already be extremely satisfied with the results. However, Nie Li has very strict requirements for himself, seeking perfection.
Nie Li quietly hid within the shadows, patiently waiting.
A hint of blood filled the air in the forest.
“What’s going on?” Yun Hua Deacon’s brows slightly frowned. He keenly felt that something was not right, leaped forward and Liu Yan followed behind.
After leaping a few meters forward, they saw the corpse of Liu Qing on the ground.
“There’s someone here!” Yun Hua Deacon gasped and immediately went alert. ‘The opponent killed a 3-star Silver rank Fighter not far from us without any noise. Could it be that the opponent is a Gold rank?’
Liu Yan was terrified when he saw this scene, ‘Liu Qing just ran out a few meters away from us, and he was killed without a sound. How did the opponent do it?’
They slowly retreated, back to back, alertly inspecting the surrounding woods.
In the dark night, only the sounds of birds chirping could be heard in the quiet forest. They couldn’t find anyone in the forest. However, they had the terrifying feeling of being stared at, causing the fine hair on their bodies to stand up.
Seeing no action from Yun Hua Deacon and Liu Yan, Nie Li didn’t make any movements, and was quietly waiting.
Furthermore, dragging the time is favourable to him. Before long, Nie Yu would be able to call an elder from the family over.
Time is running.
After he noticed something was not right, Yun Hua Deacon frowned his brows and said, “Let’s leave!”
He’s a cautious man. Because he encountered an unexpected setback, he’ll go back first. There was no need to take the risk.
Liu Yan also couldn’t wait to leave this place, and immediately nodded his head.
Yun Hua Deacon leaped, ready to leave. Liu Yan beside him was also preparing to follow him.
“You want to leave? That will not be so easy!”
A chill light flashed across Nie Li’s eyes as he reappeared. He lifted his bone sickle and slashed towards Liu Yan.
After entering void-form, Nie Li has been lurking beside Liu Yan for a long time. His distance from Liu Yan is only around five-six meters. He suddenly sped up.
Just when Nie Li appeared, the pupils of Liu Yan and Yun Hua Deacon tightened.
“Who?!”
There was someone that was actually lurking so close to them and they had not realised a thing after so long!
“Kill!” Nie Li’s eyes slightly narrowed, releasing a chilling murderous intent, and slashed towards Liu Yan at lightning speed.
Liu Yan snapped, his body emitted a light. On this body, there are two arm guards He raised the arm guards up to block Nie Li’s attack. And at the same time, send a kick towards Nie Li.
As a Silver rank Fighter, Liu Yan has gone through hundreds of battles, and has plenty combat experiences. Under this close call situation, his reaction is quite fast.
Pity that the one attacking him isn’t an ordinary person, but Nie Li who’s merged with the Shadow Devil Demon Spirit!
Nie Li faced Liu Yan and suddenly straightened his arms. The barb on the sickle instantly moved to the back of Liu Yan’s head. With a gentle hook, “Pssh”, the barb penetrated the back of Liu Yan’s head.
Liu Yan’s eyes dimmed. Even at his death, he still doesn’t understand. Why does this guy in front of him have such long arms? He was actually able to get around to the back of his neck and attack.
In just one moment, Nie Li killed another one.
Based on strength alone, Liu Yan is a little bit stronger than Nie Li. However, Nie Li did not confront Liu Yan face to face. Instead, he launched out sudden attacks. At the same time, the attack was unexpected for Liu Yan. In such a short time, there was no way Liu Yan could have reacted, therefore, allowing Nie Li’s sneak attack to succeed, becoming a one hit kill!
