Chapter 526

“Who are you?”

Long Chen was startled . His residence was private, and there had never been anyone to disturb him . Why would a female disciple appear here suddenly?”

“I am Xiao Cui . Could it be that you’ve forgotten? A few days ago, Elder Tu Fang had me deliver a message to you,” she laughed .

“Oh, I remember now . Later, I asked you how old you are, but you refused to tell me . ” Long Chen also laughed .

“A girl’s age is a secret!” Xiao Cui blushed .

A blood-red saber silently stabbed through Xiao Cui’s chest .

Xiao Cui looked at Long Chen with terror . “Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen…”

“Sorry, but I never asked Xiao Cui her age . ” Long Chen shook his head apologetically .

When he had seen her, he really hadn’t realized she was Xiao Cui . Only once she told him did he recall that they had had such an interaction .

Although he had only interacted with Xiao Cui ever so slightly, he now felt something was off about her, but at the same time, he was unable to say what it was .

That was why he had tested her just now, and Xiao Cui had ended up exposing herself .

“Now I know what’s wrong . The fragrance coming from you is strong, but you don’t have any of a girl’s body odor . For a man to dress himself up like a girl, it really must have been hard on you . ” Long Chen shook his head .

“You…”

“It’d be best for you to not make any sudden movements . My saber contains my spiritual qi . If you move, it will immediately cause your body to explode . If I haven’t guessed wrongly, you must be an a.s.sa.s.sin from the Bloodkill Hall, correct?” asked Long Chen .

“Hahahaha… To die to someone like you is acceptable . ” Xiao Cui’s voice suddenly became that of a man’s . But it didn’t contain the slightest bit of fear .

“Long Chen, being targeted by my Bloodkill Hall is equivalent to having a Yama King stuck to you . Death will be your final end, haha… pfft!”

Unexpectedly, the a.s.sa.s.sin self-destructed, filling the sky with blood .

“What? Even his blood contains poison . What viciousness . ” Long Chen suddenly felt the world spinning around him .

Just at this moment, another figure popped out of nowhere and stabbed a dagger towards Long Chen’s back .

He was another a.s.sa.s.sin who had been patiently waiting this entire time, not releasing the slightest aura or hostility . Even when his companion had been stabbed, he hadn’t released the slightest fluctuation . He only revealed himself when his companion had self-destructed and poisoned Long Chen, flas.h.i.+ng into action to kill him with a single blow .

But a blood-red saber seemed to inadvertently and yet also intentionally spin through the air, just happening to slash apart that a.s.sa.s.sin’s waist, cutting him in two .

The saber clanged onto the ground . At the same time, Long Chen also fell to the ground .

A black arrow suddenly shot out of the room at his heart .

Just as the arrow was about to reach him, Long Chen raised a hand covered in violet light and smashed apart the arrow . At the same time, he also pointed a finger .

“Lightning Finger . ”

A bolt of lightning shot out of his finger and instantly pierced into the room . The sound of a body exploding rang out .

Only then did Long Chen crawl up from the ground and pat off the dust on his body . Picking up his saber, he looked at the corpses, his expression a bit odd .

“Looks like I’ve been feeling too secure recently . I actually forgot to activate my divine sense immediately,” he muttered to himself .

Divine sense was something specific to Long Chen . He had once asked Meng Qi about it, but Meng Qi didn’t know anything about divine sense .

She could only use her Spiritual Strength to scan for spiritual fluctuations . But the divine sense Long Chen used had the ability to see everything with Spiritual Strength .

The former could only sense the fluctuations of life and find out their positions, but Long Chen could actually see them .

These a.s.sa.s.sins had been extremely skillful, especially the last two . They had completely hidden their spiritual fluctuations so that no one would be able to sense them .

Even Spiritual Strength wouldn’t be able to sense them . Ordinary experts would definitely have died . That was the most terrifying aspect of a.s.sa.s.sins .

But although they could conceal themselves from spiritual perception, they were unable to escape Long Chen’s divine sense . Under the observation of his divine sense, they had nowhere to hide .

However, he had been afraid of them getting away, so he had put on an act of almost dying . a.s.sa.s.sins were only specialized in a.s.sa.s.sinations and fleeing . He had no a.s.surance in being able to chase one of them down .

Only once all three were dead and there was no one else around did he get back up .
