Chapter 2009 Assassins (1/2)

Austin rendered himself invisible instantly, and also silenced his breath so that the five cultivators at the Major-perfection Realm couldn't sense his presence at all.

He himself, however, could clearly perceive them.

'How dare these losers try to take me on? The very idea is ridiculous!'

Austin thought with a sneer.

He hadn't attacked instantly since he wanted to find out who these assassins were.

Something seemed to be telling him that they hadn't been sent by the powerful sects of the Middle Pilgrim Land. Those sects could have spared more powerful cultivators for the job.

”Fuck this! What's going on?

Did that brat somehow find out we were coming and escaped? Loser!”

”That is a possibility at the least. But I can sense that he was here only moments ago; he can't have gotten far, can he?

Let's go catch him!”

The five men split up and dashed out of the room.

That was their second mistake. The first was coming after Austin.

While they were searching for their target in different places across town, Austin had also left the room and at the moment, with the Infernal Sword in his hand, he was gaining on one of assassins.

It had been several years since he had started to cultivate the Infernal Scripture. Time and practice had allowed him to master all the skills one would need to assassinate someone.

Under the cold moonlight, as the man looked around, a long, white sword suddenly popped out of thin air.

It swiped at the man's head.

And the cultivator fell down immediately, blood gushing out of his neck.

Fear was written all over his face, even in death.

”Something is going on over there!”

The other four assassins immediately sensed the precarious situation of their companion and rushed towards his location immediately.

They were all at the age of around twenty-five.

”Dammit! Must be the guy we are looking for!”

”There he... Hell no! Eugene is dead!”

The four men reached Austin's location immediately and surrounded him.
