Chapter 51: Bloodstained White Clothes (1/2)
Translator: Soldier
“Yes!”
The old man in black had just finished his remarks when two assassins in black behind him charged at Long Qingxie with a sudden flash.
Assassination was what assassins were best at, and their swordsmanship was uncanny and unpredictable.
The languid look on Long Qingxie's face disappeared, and he slyly squinted his eyes.
He wielded his black sword backwards and turned into a rapid blur in the blink of an eye, dashing towards the opponents head-on.
'Tier VIII peak stage?'
A flicker of amazement crossed the mind of Jin Long and the others.
They had never expected that this young man would actually be in peak stage of Tier VIII.
But soon they smiled contemptuously.
In a one-versus-two fight, he didn't stand a chance even if he was also in peak stage of Tier VIII just as his opponents were.
Jin Long didn't think so. He turned his head aside and said to the old man in black standing beside him, ”Send your men into the cave and finish that guy.”
That was what they had come here for.
The old man in black nodded, turned his head back and ordered the six men behind him, ”Go. Do it quick and clean.”
“Yes!”
The six men nodded. With a sudden move of their bodies, they rapidly advanced towards the cave.
But at this moment!
”Bang, bang!”
Unexpectedly, with two bangs, the two assassins who had just engaged Long Qingxie were hit and thrown far away.
The next moment, Long Qingxie's figure shot towards the cave like a typhoon and appeared at the entrance of it in the blink of an eye. The black sword went straight into the chest of the assassin who was the closest to the cave.
”Puh ... ”
The assassin's face was full of horror and shock. And then the sword was pulled out of his chest. Blood gushed out and stained Long Qingxie's white clothes.
At the same time, Long Qingxie launched attack on the other five assassins at an unbelievable fast speed.
Startled, the five assassins retreated rapidly and repeatedly.
There was a ruthless, sanguinary look in Long Qingxie's eyes, which were fixed on those assassins, making them terrified.
”Whoever attempts to enter this cave will be dead!” his extremely cold voice was flat yet full of killing aura.
Jin Long and the others were stunned.
'Did my eyes cheat me just now? Wind attribute?'
”Manipulation of wind element? You have a double attribute?”
On the whole Shenzhou continent, people who possessed double attributes were extremely rare. Even if they had double attributes, their improvement in cultivation was surely slower than that of common people -- everything concerning martial arts had advantages and disadvantages.
But this man not only had double attributes but also had reached peak stage of Tier VIII.
A firm killing intent crossed the mind of both Jin Long and that old man in black almost at the same time.
'Anyone like him -- if they're not my men -- must be eliminated, otherwise they'll never stop making trouble in the future.”
”Since you've come here yourself, then die with the other one,” Jin Long’s eyes were full of eeriness.
As soon as those words were spoken, he flipped his hand and a large knife giving off scorching heat instantly appeared in it. Tier IX middle-stage fighting spirit surged out and he immediately shot towards Long Qingxie with a whooshing sound.
It seemed that he intended to kill Long Qingxie with one blow by himself.
The look in Long Qingxie's eyes went cold.
”If you want to kill me, you'll have to work harder on your skills!”
After saying these in a cold and arrogant tone, Long Qingxie leaped forward as weird flames appeared on his black sword. Under the astonished gaze of the others, he gave a slash towards the opponent head-on.
”Clang...”
The two swords covered by flames clashed together, giving off a shower of sparks. An intangible force rippled out.
His opponents were astounded again.
”Triple attribute? You have a triple attribute?” Extremely astonished, Jin Long said in a shrill voice after taking a step backwards.
The old man in black and the others were also shocked, staring squarely at Long Qingxie.
Double attributes were rare enough, but he had a triple attribute.
'Who's this man exactly?'
The impact of the clash forced Long Qingxie into backing three steps, and his hands ached because of the counterforce. Judging by this, there was indeed a strength gap between peak stage of Tier VIII and middle stage of Tier IX.
It seemed that these men sent by the queen this time did have considerable strength.
But at this moment, Jin Long began to take this fight seriously.
”Elder Black, tell your men to go all out. I want this man dead.”
‘If I don’t kill this triple-attributed man today, he will no doubt be a threat to me in the future.’
Hearing this, the old man in black raised his hand, “You heard Lord Jin — this man must die. Kill him!”
“Yes!”
Seven assassins, including the one beside him and the two who had been thrown backwards, flipped their swords which reflected a cold light, killing aura instantly surging out.
In the blink of an eye, seven figures separated and leaped forward, attacking Long Qingxie’s vital parts from seven different directions.
“Seven versus one. You guys really flattered me.” Seeing this seven-versus-one situation, Long Qingxie gave an evil grin.
But the next second, with a flicker of cruelty in his eyes, a purple light surged out of his body. Covering in wind element, he instantly turned into a rapid blur and disappeared from his original position.
Seeing that their target disappeared, the seven assassins who were closing in on him were startled.
But at this moment.
“Puh ...” The sound of a sword violently going in and then out of a body was heard.
Long Qingxie’s lips curved into a bloodthirsty smile. Under the astonished gaze of the other six assassins, with a sudden move of his body, he sank his sword into another assassin’s body at lightning speed.
Fast!
Eerily fast!
Jin Long and the old man in black had been watching the fight on the side. Their faces abruptly went cold. ‘What’s going on?’
