521 As Thin as Ice (1/2)
The forest seemed to have become twisted by a power that turned it from day to night.
In the air, the bodies of the Golden Sun family Head and the grass-hat elder struggled.
Shu! Shu!
Two blades silently pierced through their bodies. The Head of the Golden Sun family didn’t have any time to dodge. His life force was destroyed.
“You….”
The Head of the Golden Sun family raised his head and managed to see the figure of Elder Assassination.
Plop!
He fell down in a puddle of blood, his eyes full of fear and unwillingness.
How could anyone want to die like this?
On the other side, the grass-hat elder managed to move to the side by half an inch, but the blade still scraped his heart.
“A Sovereign in the Dao of Assassination…. You’re Sovereign Assassination?”
The grass-hat elder coughed up blood.
The only thing he could do was raise his head and look at the crowned figure.
On the other side, Zhao Feng stood unmoving as he suppressed the shock in his heart, “This is the strength of a Sovereign?”
It wasn’t as if Zhao Feng had never seen a Sovereign before.
He had seen a Sovereign at the Rising Dragon Auction, and the Iron Blood Religion Patriarch was also one.
However, this was the first time he witnessed a Sovereign’s actual strength.
“The Head of the Golden Sun family is definitely comparable to a half-step Origin Core Realm and the grass-hat elder is even stronger. Under normal circumstances, even I would find it difficult to escape from these two.”
Zhao Feng’s heart didn’t calm down for a long time.
He originally thought that he was unparalleled under the Origin Core Realm and should be able to fight a few blows with an expert at the Origin Core Realm.
Now, it seemed his estimation was way off.
“Elder Assassination isn’t a normal Sovereign. He specializes in the Dao of Assassination and has killed many Sovereigns. His most glorious achievement was almost succeeding in assassinating Sword Saint Ye Wuxie.”
The sound of the skeletal Division Leader appeared in his mind.
__
_Dao of Assassination._
Zhao Feng’s heart jumped.
No wonder the Head of the Golden Sun family couldn’t sense Elder Assassination even with his eye-bloodline. The two from the Golden Sun family were unable to dodge as the Sovereign cut them like radishes.
“Elder Assassination, I wouldn’t have thought that you’ve already recovered your strength. You’re pretty efficient in finishing off these two shrimps.”
Zhao Feng said casually and didn’t seem to be surprised at all.
_Two shrimps?_
The black-robed woman’s face twitched when she heard this.
One of those that was attacked was the Head of the strongest eye-bloodline family and the other was an Elder whose strength surpassed normal half-step Origin Core Realms.
However, Zhao Feng said what he did so casually. If it were him facing those two, he would most likely run away faster than a rabbit.
“Division Leader Yougu, if you recovered all your strength and used your mental energy techniques to control people, our strength would be equal.”
Elder Assassination didn’t find Zhao Feng’s words weird.
“Division Leader Yougu, you’re…!”
The grass-hat elder’s heart shook and his face was filled with helplessness, bitterness, and regret. If they had known beforehand that their target was a Division Leader, they wouldn’t have tried to attack him even if they had a hundred guts.
Plop!
The grass-hat elder didn’t manage to last any longer and died.
Although Elder Assassination’s attack didn’t hit the grass-hat elder’s heart directly, it was still easy for a Sovereign to kill a half-step Origin Core Realm in one blow.
In just a few breaths, the Head of the Golden Sun family and the grass-hat elder had both fallen into puddles of blood.
Neither the black-robed woman nor Zhao Feng had seen how Elder Assassination killed them.
Shua!
The dark night faded away, leaving behind only Elder Assassination.
“Division Leader Yougu, how did you offend the Golden Sun family? I heard that you were responsible for part of the Northern Continent.”
Elder Assassination landed next to Zhao Feng, and such a close distance made Zhao Feng’s heart turn cold.
His current situation was like walking on a tightrope. Although Zhao Feng already guessed that the person that had been following him might be a Sovereign, he didn’t expect it to be Elder Assassination, someone who specialized in the Dao of Assassination and someone that Zhao Feng might have no hope against.
Under this situation, Zhao Feng had to act calm or else he would reveal himself.
At the same time, he told the skeletal Division Leader not to make any random movements or he would kill it immediately.
The skeletal Division Leader was obedient. It knew that Zhao Feng could kill it faster than Elder Assassination could kill Zhao Feng.
“The situation in the Northern Continent isn’t very good….”
Zhao Feng sighed bitterly and told some information that the skeletal Division Leader had provided.
“The pressure the Middle Continent faces is even bigger….”
