690 Peerless Assassin (1/2)
It was only then that Xiao YanXue understood that Ling Tian was only joking with her when he asked her to aid Ling Jian. It was a complete joke from the beginning to the end! With Xiao YanXue's cultivation, she probably didn't even have the ability to go anywhere near the battle!
Seeing Ling Jian stand in the middle of the hall like a celestial with his sword suppressing the dozens of Above Heavens experts around him without a single person daring to make a move, Xiao YanXue had a sudden sense of pride in her heart!
This is the man who she had eyes for!
In the world today, how many of such men would there be?
But after feeling a sense of pride, she had endless fear in her heart. Regardless of how spectacular Ling Jian's martial arts were, he was only a single person. While he seemed to be suppressing the experts of Above Heavens at the moment, the moment he killed Meng FanYun, there wouldn't be the slightest bit of chance for him to escape!
If Ling Jian didn't kill Meng FanYun and attempted to make a full retreat, the countless Above Heavens experts may be able to keep him from leaving!
However, Ling Jian couldn't leave! Even if he wanted to leave, he had to first kill Meng FanYun before leaving!
Xiao YanXue was extremely fl.u.s.tered in her heart. Just what should she do? Just how could she save this fellow after he completed his a.s.sa.s.sination?
Meng FanYun looked at Ling Jian with his eyes gleaming and suddenly said, ”Sir Pavilion Head, at this moment, both of us are extremely clear that none of us dares to make a move! If my experts make a move first, I will definitely be the first to take a step onto the yellow springs road and this is something that my Above Heavens cannot accept. If Sir makes a move first, even if I die, you will definitely not be able to leave alive! Under the combined attack of fifty to sixty XianTian experts, even if you are Justice, so what?”
He then said with a smile, ”The way I see it, why don't we each take a step back and make friends with each other?” Meng FanYun had misjudged the situation and thought that Ling Jian didn't attack because he was afraid of being trapped in an encirclement. Thus, this Above Heavens Sect Master attempted to negotiate with Ling Jian.
Ling Jian seemed to be in deep thought, pondering over what Meng FanYun had said. Meng FanYun was elated and continued, ”Pavilion Head roams unhindered in the world and there isn't a single person who doesn't admire your name. I have already been severely injured by Pavilion Head and even if Pavilion Head leaves now, it wouldn't leave a stain on Pavilion Head's majestic name! Pavilion Head is an intelligent man and should naturally know how to make your choice.”
Two cold beams shot out from Ling Jian's eyes and he said coldly, ”There are something that you are right about. If your men make a move first, you will die! If I make a move first, you will die! Regardless of which party makes a move first, you will definitely be the first to die!”
Meng FanYun snorted, ”However, the second to die will definitely be you!”
A tinge of laughter could be seen in Ling Jian's eyes.
Meng FanYun thought that he had persuaded Ling Jian and heaved a sigh of relief, only to hear Ling Jian say, ”Not necessarily!”
Meng FanYun flew into a rage and said, ”Not to mention the First Pavilion Head, even if the number one expert in the world, Justice, was standing in your place, he would definitely be dead in the face of the full strength of my Above Heavens!”
”Oh? What big words! Is that really the truth?” Ling Jian said coldly.
At the same time, another voice drifted in from outside the hall, ”Sect Master Meng's words are truly bold. This seat is extremely interested to find out what kind of strength is capable of killing this seat!”
Meng FanYun's face changed! Why would he be here?!
Martial Order Medallion owner Justice! He is here!
The heavens want my death!
Meng FanYun never imagined that his luck would be so terribly bad! In order to persuade the number one a.s.sa.s.sin in front of him, he had mentioned the number one expert in the world as an example. It was only normal for the number one expert in the world to be superior to the number one a.s.sa.s.sin. However, who would have thought that he would have summoned the number one expert in the world with those words of his!
I am truly too unlucky! Meng FanYun almost had the urge to give himself a few tight slaps for spouting such nonsense!
However, it was already too late for Meng FanYun to regret! At this moment, Ling Jian who had heard this voice made his move!
Like a bolt of lightning!
His target was Meng FanYun!
Ling Jian raised his sword and charged forward, das.h.i.+ng through the crowd like a ghostly figure. A series of enraged roars sounded immediately and countless blade lights were slashed down towards Ling Jian!
Countless palm strikes were sent out mercilessly towards the ghostly figure! The entire hall was thrown into chaos!
Ling Jian's face remained calm and was completely indifferent towards the incoming attacks. In his eyes, he could only see a single person, Meng FanYun!
Meng FanYun let out a loud cry and tossed out the sword in his right hand. At the same time, he sent out seventy-nine palm strikes as his figure retreated backward rapidly!
Meng FanYun retreated a hundred feet with a flash and his back was already up against the wall of the hall!
He could not retreat any further!
Despite the entire hall being filled with the blade lights of the Above Heavens experts, such an extravagant attack and luxurious lineup did not give Meng FanYun the slightest bit of security!
