Chapter 89: Space Elemen (2/2)
Yun Wu curved her lips into a sneer, ”Only if you can catch up with me can you give me a quick death.”
Grandma Medicine and Little Leaf were still in the cottage, so this was by no means the right place to fight.
The next second she finished the last word, Yun Wu's figure turned into a beam of light and disappeared into the woods in the twinkling of an eye.
Faint sneer flashed across the bottom of their eyes when the two Grand Assassins saw this.
The next moment, on the treetops, two figures vanished and pursued Yun Wu at a weirdly fast speed.
Ever since she acquired seven kinds of element, when Yun Wu mobilized wind elemental power, her speed was so fast that even Cloud Murong, who was at Tier IX, couldn't catch up with her.
However, this time, she could sense that the two figures behind her were approaching her.
'Damn it!'
It seemed that those who broke through into another rank were far more powerful than those at the lower rank.
In fact, on that day in the Magic Beasts Forest, the reason why Yun Wu managed to kill that Grand Kung Fu Master was partly because of the favorable terrain and her powerful ally – Long Qingxie had wounded him before she fought with him.
But now, she was facing two Grand Assassins.
She was good at killing enemies in a forest, but she was uncertain whether she could kill two Grand Assassins who were just as good at killing enemies in a forest as she was.
”It's surprising that you little girl can move so fast with wind elemental power at merely Tier VII,” Eighteen leaped down and blocked Yun Wu's path. There was a ghost of surprise in his cold voice.
Yun Wu stopped, holding her sword tightly. Without saying anything, she soundlessly twitched her hand and shot several poisoned silver needles towards Nineteen who was behind her.
”Watch out!” Eighteen's eyes went cold and he intended to move.
But at this moment, Yun Wu flipped her hands and clasped two flames together. A fire dragon appeared and abruptly pounced on Eighteen.
On another side, Nineteen hurriedly sidestepped those silver needles which then shot into a tree trunk not far away.
Cold light gleamed at the ends of those poisoned needles.
Nineteen's eyes darkened with a murderous look flashing across. He waved his hand and hurled a bolt of potent Qi at her.
Yun Wu leaped up and abruptly shot towards Nineteen at full speed.
Her speed was daunting and her momentum was wild.
The look in Nineteen's icy eyes was somewhat scornful. He produced a sword out of nowhere, mobilized his potent Qi and prepared to fight back at Yun Wu head-on.
”You fledgling little girl. Even I haven't made my move yet. But you dare to come at me–”
Before his voice died away, a cold light flashed past his eyes. A amazed look abruptly crossed the bottom of his eyes and with that he instantly jerked his upper body back and dodged the blow.
The moment she missed, Yun Wu frowned.
But almost at the same time, she seized this opportunity and rapidly swished towards the depths of the forest.
”Shit!” Nineteen angrily cursed, stretched out his hand and stroked his neck. His eyes became even colder when he saw the blood on his finger.
It turned out that Yun Wu pretended to launch a frontal attack on him, but the moment she got close enough, she stabbed the dagger in her other hand at his neck.
That blow was so quick that Nineteen could barely dodge it.
This was the first time that he had dodged a strike in such a flustered manner. Fury instantly consumed him.
”Roar–”
A dragon roar was heard.
At this moment, the fire dragon pouncing on Eighteen was directly cleaved by a single sword slash.
When this task was assigned to them, they had been informed that this teenage girl was capable of condensing fire element into elemental beasts.
However, they were still somewhat surprised when they saw it with their own eyes.
”Is it possible that this girl killed the nine assassins and a warrior sent by Lord Zuo last time?” Nineteen asked in an extremely icy voice, watching in the direction in which Yun Wu had fled.
”No matter she did or not, we've already past the deadline set by master. Don't let her escape. Let's get her head and fulfill the task.”
”Let's go!”
Two figures giving off furious killing aura rapidly shot in the direction that Yun Wu had fled in.
However, soon after the two people left, the space beside a tree suddenly twisted, out of which Yun Wu's figure appeared. It was space element.
She found that using space element was far more strength-consuming than using other kinds of element. And it also didn't last long.
Fortunately, the two assassins were provoked by her and left without checking carefully.
Yun Wu didn't have time to hesitate. She immediately rushed towards the cottage in the valley.
The arrival of the two Grand Assassins suggested that her whereabouts were exposed, which meant the situation would get more dangerous. If Grandma Medicine and Little Leaf stayed with her, they would be in danger as well.
Besides, after the two Grand Assassins failed to find her, they would soon realize that they were tricked.
...
Yun Wu returned to the cottage as soon as she could and happened to see that Li Xuyang was walking in her direction with a pheasant.
Upon seeing Yun Wu, Li Xuyang was stunned but with that his face briefly flushed. He hurriedly moved his face aside, ”Miss Wu, how did you... you get hurt? And your clothes was torn.”
Yun Wu moved her head aside and saw that the shoulder of her clothes was slit open, revealing her snow-white skin and a small cut.
It was caused by the sword light of that assassin.
However, given the circumstances, she ignored it.
”Brother Xuyang, there's something I have to deal with and I have to leave. I want you to do me a favor,” in this village, people preferred to use forms of address like ”brother”, ”sister” and ”uncle”, etc.
On hearing her words, Li Xuyang seemed to have sensed that something unusual had happened. He briefly frowned but after that he still nodded, saying, ”There's no need for you to be so polite, Miss Wu. Just tell me what you need me to do. I promise I'll get it done.”
