886 A Terrifying Sword! (1/2)
The three people arrived at the place of the incident at lightning speed. Outside the room, the experts of the three Holy Lands had all gathered here, all their faces filled with grief and indignation!
These people were all the top experts of the world, and their reactions were extremely fast. Plus the fact that they were all staying together; they had all gathered the moment the cry began.
”What's the matter?” Hai Wu Ya asked.
”It's Xia Dong Ting… Xia Dong Ting is done for…” A middle aged man donned in purple robes in the crowd said softly, his face deathly pale.
”Move aside!” Hai Wu Ya strode forward, and everyone quickly parted ways, opening a path that led straight to the entrance.
Hai Wu Ya's entire body jerked and he froze like a statue when he reached the door. He stood there in a stupefied manner, a look of disbelief in his eyes.
Xia Dong Ting was on the floor right before the door inside the room, laying on the side of his face. An odd expression was on his face; both his eyes were wide open, despair and anger in his pupils. Both his hands were in a weird position: his left reaching forward, in the shape of a claw; the right was bent at an angle, reaching for his shoulder.
His sword was still sitting silently in its sheath on his shoulder; it had not even been unsheathed yet! His body was contorted weirdly, his mouth wide open. Fresh blood started to drop from its inside now… falling to the ground, drip by drip…
Hai Wu Ya jolted violently, slowly lifting his head and closing his eyes. After a while, he slowly asked, ”Who was the first to arrive? Come out to answer me!”
A purple robed man slowly walked out from the crowd, with an extremely mournful expression.
”What was the situation when you arrived?” Hai Wu Ya's voice was full of restraint, seeming like he was withholding all of his anger. ”What did you discover?” Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
”This was a perfect assassination!” That person said in fear. ”Lord Hai, Brother Xia and I were only separated by a wall in our lodging, but in the process of this sudden assassination, I didn't hear a single thing or notice anything unusual! The only noise was that cry Brother Xia had made; by the time I reached this place, it was less than half a breath from the time it happened, but Brother Xia was already like this.”
The corners of the mouth of purple robed man couldn't helped but twitch, frightened by his own words!
And it wasn't just him; in fact, all the people who heard him couldn't help but shiver. His words seemed normal, but there was a deep meaning in there which was enough to scare all the Saints present to their very core, worrying for their own safety!
Successfully assassinating a Saint expert, and the other Saint who was separated by only a wall did not hear a single thing and had not even noticed anything… Didn't this mean that if this person wanted, he could kill any Saint he wanted to? And with no chance of missing his hand at it? What sort of terrifying power did that assassin have?!
Shocking? Not yet!
Because what the purple robed man said afterwards was even more shocking and unbelievable.
”Just now, or to be more exact, a minute earlier, I was still having a long talk in Brother Xia's room. Brother Xia once aside that the current situation was like an impending storm; the strength of our enemy is still a profound mystery. Although we are still stronger, but we may not necessarily be capable of suppressing the enemy until they have no strength and can't fight back. So every single one of us must always be on our guard and carry our weapon with us, putting it in a position that allows us to reach for it quickly so we can take on the fight at anytime. Precisely because we are strong, the opponent will definitely use small tricks to exhaust our energy, so we must be absolutely careful! But now…”
Everyone sucked in their breaths, looking at Xia Dong Ting's body on the floor and that long sword on his back that had yet to been touched. A look of utter disbelief was in all their eyes!
Xia Dong Ting said this, so he would have definitely done the same for himself, But even in such a state of high-alert, his carefulness had no use or effect when faced with the attack from that assassin!
If someone this careful could not escape this fate, what about everyone else?!
Killing in one strike, a Saint of his generation did not even have the chance to unsheathe his sword! This was a Saint! The sword, being carried on his shoulder, was the most handy position, a position that allowed him to pull his sword out to attack any moment he wanted to!
But this sword had lost the chance to come out of its sheath!
Then how fast was the speed of that assassin?!
”I came rushing over the moment I heard the cry. Brother Xia still had one last breath, but he was unable to say a single thing!” The purple robed man took in a deep breath and said, ”The most unbelievable thing is… the wound was… his chest! A single sword that struck straight at the heart!”
