Chapter 219 (1/2)
It seemed that Lin Xun in hiding had no breath like a rock, but actually, the “Nature Insight & Spirit-Devour Scripture” was operating slowly in his body.
He was seriously injured and his strength was wasted a lot. Before, he had swallowed a whole bottle of Sapphire Gang-refining Pills. Now, with the operation of his power, the enormous strength of the pills was continuously refined to supplement energy for Lin.
But this approach could only solve the urgent needs. The key was that the bloody hole in the chest, which could not be cured for a moment, was such a serious wound.
So now, the longer he waited, the more dangerous it was for Lin.
However, this time his rival was an extremely experienced and vicious assassin. If he wanted to kill this person, he had to be patient and powerful.
While, Lin had no time to deal with his rival patiently.
Hoo~
Suddenly, Lin took a deep breath, with his body lightly arched. But this subtle movement exposed a wave of strength of him.
Boom!
Almost at the same time, a snow-like arrow was suddenly shot out of the distant darkness and flew towards the position where Lin stayed.
The horrible whistle was breathtaking.
Lin suddenly dodged aside and rushed to the distance. While, the eaves where he stayed had been shattered in a boom.
“He must stay in the northwest corner, which is still 6,300 meters away from me.”
An exact judgement emerged in Lin’s mind. Without any pause, he moved forward in the rainstorm night.
This rival had an obvious trait about fighting— stability!
No matter lurk or the speed and strength of attacks, he always maintained extraordinary stability and never revealed a single flaw from beginning to the end.
There was no doubt that it was the most terrible thing to be targeted by such an enemy. If Lin was not careful, the enemy would seize the chance to give him the fatal blow.
Just like what he had suffered, Lin was sure that the rival would attack him when he exposed himself and of course would keep a distance of 6,300 meters!
Clearly, within the range, the rival could exploit the power to the full.
If not being injured, Lin was confident to deal with him for a while and found out who was better at assassination. But now he had to keep evading and tried to look for the best opportunity to attack the rival.
He had no choice now. By virtue of his power at present, he could only use the Insignificance Longbow once again. It would also be the last time.
In other words, there was only one chance for Lin to kill this rival tonight!
If he failed, he would lose the power to fight back.
…
At the same time, a figure also moved forward at night. With his figure like a wisp of smoke, he constantly shuttled between the streets and eaves, as quiet as a ghost. Though not fast, his speed was always steady.
This person was Residual Snow, a top assassin in Heaven-gang Realm from Tingyu Tower.
Residual Snow was known as an ace assassin in “Tingyu Tower”, for he had never failed in assassination missions carried out by him!
At this time, he had a strange rattan bow over his shoulder and an arrow holder as wide as a bowl full of well-organized arrows at the girdle.
These arrows were dark green, with the arrowhead in the shape of a leaf. The bodies were shining with snow-white radiance, as if they were mounted with tiny stars. How special they were!
The rattan bow, known as “Snow Mud Spiritual Bow”, a top spiritual tool of Human-rank, was hand-made by a spiritual tattoo master. It was a rare treasure and had a history of hundreds of years.
The arrow matched with it was called “Big Claw Spiritual Arrow”. Each arrow was inscribed with a unique spiritual tattoo, full of terrible power. The value of such an arrow was about 500 imperial silver coins!
Residual Snow could bring his strength and archery into full play with the bow and arrows.
But tonight when carrying out the mission, Residual Snow could not help but frown. He wondered that as a young man in Human-gang Realm, how could the rival have such an unexpectedly strong power!
Tonight he had launched four attacks, but he still didn’t kill the young man, which made him lost in thought.
In the process of fighting with him, Residual Snow had clearly realized that this young man named Lin Xun was indeed very unusual. When chasing Lin, Residual Snow found that Lin seemed to flee in panic, but he did not leave a flaw from the beginning to the end.
What surprised Residual Snow most was that although he could capture the breath of Lin, as long as he locked onto his target, Lin would avoid it. So it was difficult for him to find the best time to attack the young man.
It was incredible!
It was the first time since Residual Snow carried out missions that he encountered such a troublesome rival. The most frightening thing was that this rival was only a young man in Human-gang Realm, who still could avoid the locking and attacks again and again under the circumstance he was seriously injured!
All these discoveries made Residual Snow admire this young man. It was hard to imagine where the young man came from and why he knew such a great means of fighting!
However, due to these discoveries, Residual Snow determined to kill Lin. Although he had no hatred for Lin, he must remember he was an assassin and his responsibility was to kill Lin and complete the mission!
This was the basic code of conduct that an assassin must follow.
What?
Suddenly, as a chill light crossed his eyes, Residual Snow sensed that the rival lurked once again.
Swish!
