Chapter 65: Awesome Nobility (1/2)

Translator: Soldier

Shortly after Yun Wu entered a dense forest, she finally caught sight of some traces of magic beasts.

However, the magic beasts of the highest level that she had encountered on a circular walk was around Tier II. Instead of going further, Yun Wu picked a wild leopard in middle stage of Tier II.

Though her body was out of condition, her movements were quick and clean, and she struck like greased lightning.

She raised her saber, gave a slash and killed it with one blow.

When Yun Wu picked herself up from that wild leopard, she was half full. Her lips were covered in blood and a big part of her coat was also bloodstained, the smell of which disgusted her.

But she felt warmer, and gradually, it seemed as if those seemingly withered meridians were beginning to revive. Those wounds on her body were also becoming itchy.

Yun Wu knew that was her wounds slowly healing.

Seemingly, as long as her body wasn't resurrected, she was really like a walking corpse relying on beast blood to survive.

Out of no specific reason, Yun Wu felt somewhat anxious deep down in her heart.

She disliked this feeling, since it was too passive, and it also led to an unduly intense sense of insecurity.

At this moment, she couldn't help thinking of that man who had jumped off the cliff into the torrent with her, and who had gone missing...

Where was he exactly?

”Rustle...”

The sound of grass rustling in some kind of wind was heard.

Yun Wu squinted. With a sudden move of her body, she flashed into a big tree in the twinkling of an eye.

Right at this moment, the figures of several assassins in black rushed over through the grass in a quick and covert manner.

”What a strong smell of blood!” one of those assassins said in a deep voice.

The other assassins' eyes had already flashed in the direction of the wild leopard's body, ”It died a short while ago.”

”This smell of blood covered all the other odors. We lost the target's direction. What do we do now?”

”We split up. The master ordered us to take the target's head back, whatever the cost.”

The instant the conversation ended, those assassins' figures split up and flashed in several different directions.

On the tree trunk, Yun Wu, who had been keeping his Qi hidden, couldn't help but lift her eyebrows after those assassins left.

Tier VII assassins!

Who were they after?

Of course, this curious thought merely flashed across Yun Wu's mind and soon disappeared. 'Curiosity killed the cat,' she knew this very well.

But at this moment!

”Swish!” the sound of something sharp splitting the air was heard.

A figure leaped down from a tree with dense foliage, pressing the blade of a sword against Yun Wu's neck, while Yun Wu's dagger pointed at the man's heart.

”Who are you?” his deep, magnetic voice was tinged with coldness and solemnity.

He was a handsome young man about twenty years old, dressed in a brocade robe with the pattern of a flying black dragon on it. He was staring squarely at Yun Wu's purple eyes. Like that of a hawk, his eyes were piercingly black, and the look in them was a mixture of condescension and nobility, but it was also extremely icy.

If Long Qingxie was a man like a Yōkai, then this man was a domineering and callous man.

However, Yun Wu found his unduly piercing black eyes somewhat repellent.

”I think my identity doesn't concern you, does it?” Yun Wu slightly curved her lips, but her voice was extremely apathetic.

The man started looking Yun Wu up and down with his piercing eyes. Her hair was tied behind her head in a casual way, revealing her fine features, especially her charming purple eyes.

But what she was wearing was patched gunny clothes, as if she was trying to hide her beauty, but her attire failed to conceal her intrinsic unruliness.

A short while ago, when she killed that Tier II wild leopard, he had flashed into the top of this tree after finding this place by following those special marks.

He hadn't expected that he would witness the scene of her lying on the wild leopard's body drinking its blood.

Of course he was astonished, but he was more curious.

After those assassins who had been pursuing him to kill him left, he had meant to quietly approach her. Unexpectedly, she detected him the moment he made his move, and now he ended up in this situation.

During the past 21 years of his lived life, no woman had ever treated him like this.

”What's your name?” the man's black eyes were still piercing, but he seemed to have an aggressive momentum.

He stared at her with exceptionally deep eyes.

Yun Wu frowned. His gaze gave her goosebumps, which was not a pleasant feeling.

But in the blink of an eye, she slightly curved her lips in a half smile, ”Are you pretty used to put a sword to a girl's throat before asking her name?”

Stunned, the man looked down at Yun Wu whose lips had curved into a smile. He lifted his eyebrows and put away his sword after a couple of seconds' silence.

”Can you tell me now?”

Yun Wu smiled, but the next second, an aggressive look flashed across her eyes and she swung her dagger at him.

The man narrowed his piercing eyes with a frown, gave a leap and dodged aside quickly.

But at this moment, Yun Wu had leaped down the tree and intended to leave.

”You want to leave without answering my question?”

”Swish!” he stabbed the sword at her.

With a sudden move of her body, Yun Wu swiftly dodged aside, but she discovered that the man's speed was extremely fast. There had been several occasions when she nearly got hit by him.

Wind Attribute, middle stage of Tier VII!

This man was merely in his early twenties, but his strength was already in middle stage of Tier VII!

His endowments were far more superior than that of those so-called geniuses.

Among all the people she had met so far, this man was the one with the best talent apart from that Yōkai-like Long Qingxie.

However, that man was just as surprised as Yun Wu was.
