Chapter 55: Killing Enemies in a Fores (1/2)

Translator: Soldier

Yun Wu was soundlessly rushing in the forest, hotly pursuing her target like a leopard.

The assassin sensed the danger behind him and instantly hid himself into a big tree with dense foliage. He was definitely a master of camouflage and he did it without making any sounds. Common people could never detect him.

Yun Wu, who had been locating the target with spiritual power, sensed that he had stopped. The corner of her lips curved up into a cold smile. With a sudden move of her body, she disappeared into the top of the tree and slowly closed in on the target.

”Are you waiting for me?” as if uttered by a phantom, her voice was heard from behind him.

Before that assassin could react, Yun Wu's blade slid through his neck with a whooshing sound. The cut was very deep. Eyes dilated, the assassin's body fell down soundlessly.

After giving a cold glance at that assassin, Yun Wu enwrapped herself with wind element and instantly disappeared into the forest in another direction.

A night breeze passed by.

Somewhere in the dark forest. After a cold gleam of the sword, with dilated eyes, another assassin watched Yun Wu, who had just cut his neck, his eyes full of horror.

'She... when did she find my position?'

In the same way, like a ghost, Yun Wu had soundlessly closed in on the targets and killed them, each kill taking only one slash.

Four down!

There was one left – that old man in black robe, who was in early stage of Tier IX.

Yun Wu smiled coldly. With a whooshing sound, her figure shot towards the periphery of the forest and instantly disappeared.

On the periphery of the Magic Beasts Forest.

There were more low-level magic beasts as well as more humans here, which caused disturbance to her spiritual detection.

Even with so much disturbance, she would still distinguish the old man's Qi which was unique to an assassin.

It seemed that this old man in a black robe was not a fool. He knew he should flee to the periphery where there were more people.

But his attempt to escape was doomed to failure.

On the sight of that purple figure that flashed in front of him, the old man in a black robe was somewhat horrified, the hair on his back standing on end.

'How – How's this possible?'

He had never revealed his Qi on his way. How came she still found his whereabouts?

When his eyes met her purple ones, a surge of horror rose in him and before he could yelp, his soul seemed to have been immobilized. A sharp sword was laterally swung at him and cut into his throat.

At this moment, both his yell and his horror were blocked in his throat.

The old man in a black rob widened his eyes, staring squarely at the two eerie purple eyes. Yun Wu curved the corner of her lips into a cruel smile, coquettish and icy.

She whipped out the sword, blood splattering.

Blood gushed out of the wound in his neck. His eyes full of horror, his body unconsciously fell backwards...

Maybe, they shouldn't have underestimated their enemies from the very beginning. They should have rushed into the cave and killed her the moment the fight started. But it was too late.

Yun Wu coldly glanced at the body on the ground, her eyes full of apathy. Then she turned around and walked in Long Qingxie's direction.

She had barely walked a couple of steps forward, however, when a female voice yelled from behind.

”Hey, who are you? Stop.”

Upon the yell, someone covered in fighting spirit rushed over. And then a female dressed in elegant clothes appeared in front of Yun Wu.

Behind her, a couple of figures with powerful Qi also rushed over. They were holding Legendary Luminous Pearls in their hands, lighting up the darkness around.

Yun Wu stopped. She slightly raised her eyes to the female getting in her way. She was about twenty, peak-stage of Tier III.

The three men behind her were all warriors in late stage of Tier VIII, and they were clearly lackeys!

It seemed that this female was from a noble background.

”Was it you who killed that old man?” after peering at Yun Wu for a while, the female pointed at the body of the black-robed old man and asked.

Yun Wu didn't answer but raised her eyebrows and glanced at her.

Seeing that Yun Wu remained silent, that female couldn't help frowning, ”Are you dumb? I'm asking you a question!”

Coldness glinted at the bottom of Yun Wu's eyes. Judging by her arrogant manner, the female must be a spoiled lady of some rich family.

However, Yun Wu was not interested in playing with a lady like this. She indifferently turned around, planning to get past her and leave.

Seeing this, the female was somewhat annoyed. With a sudden of her body, she blocked Yun Wu's path, ”You little girl, don't be so arrogant. Do you know who I am?”

Coldly looking at her, Yun Wu asked rhetorically in a flat manner, ”Does your identity have anything to do with me?”

”So you're not dumb. Then why didn't you answer my question just now?” the female said coldly with a frown.

Yun Wu raised her eyebrows and said idly, ”Why should I answer you? Wouldn't I have lost face if I answered your question?”

”Humph. You should feel greatly honored to be able to talk to me. I forgot to tell you – I'm Snow Murong, the only daughter of the Lord of Luoyang City. You're lucky to get to know me, so don't be ungrateful... ”

However, Yun Wu was totally uninterested in her words. She went past her and slowly walked away.

Snow Murong was angry and she blocked Yun Wu's path again, ”Were you listening to me?”

This time, Yun Wu also went impatient, ”Stop testing my patience and get out of my way!”

”You... You dare to talk to me like this? Do you believe that I can make sure you never make it out of this Magic Beasts Forest?” the female's face went cold, and a ferocious, icy look appeared in her eyes.

As far as she could remember, nobody had ever dared talk to her like that.

Originally, she had planned to go into the depths of Magic Beasts Forest to collect some medicine. She happened to pass by this area and a heavy smell of blood caught her attention, so she walked here out of curiosity.

When she saw the body of the old man dressed in assassin suit as well as Yun Wu who had just left, she became curious.
