37 Murder and Plunder (1/2)
The Heavens want me to die! A bitter feeling rose in the hearts of the six thieves.
Absolute despair!
All they could see was the six brilliant yellow lights, completely ignoring the person before them. They had not noticed that the person before did not even have the overwhelming aura of a true Earth Xuan expert!
The overwhelming feeling of despair caused a momentary lapse of judgement from these six men. However, it was also this small moment, which sealed their fate!
This was the reason why Jun Mo Xie shot out those coin shaped darts filled with the unique colour of radiance. He had predicted the occurrence of such a moment! For one to be a great assassin, he must have an insight on how the opponent would think. According to Jun Mo Xie’s calculations, should these six men encounter an expert they could not defeat, they would act as if had been caught in a quicksand! This moment was what Jun Mo Xie was waiting for!
When a Silver Xuan expert who was just injured suddenly met a peak Earth Xuan expert, he would face an unthinkable fear and horror! This feeling was like waiting for an inevitable death! Furthermore, these men were in the midst of being hunted, it was a matter of fact that these feelings would rise up exponentially.
This one small moment was what Jun Mo Xie was looking for!
If he had directly attacked without any tricks, then three of these six men would be able to dodge his attack. Rather than the strength of a well-aimed dart, he had split the strength between six darts, which will far lesser! Even if only one of them survived, Jun Mo Xie would be in for a world of hurt! They may all be injured, but any one of them was more than a match for Jun Mo Xie.
The reason why none of ‘Xiaoli Feidao’s Flying Daggers’ was issued in vain was because only one was issued each time!
Jun Mo Xie’s focus was naturally on the Silver Xuan expert. Even though he was seriously injured, he was still the one with the highest amount of pressure! He was also keen enough to notice Jun Mo Xie’s presence!
After the six dazzling coin shaped darts appeared, twelve dark grey lights secretly flew out. However, the six pieces of darts had already attracted their undivided attention. In addition, the heavy downpour hid the dark grey lights away. All six of them had all panicked as they dodged the six incoming darts. None of them dared to block the darts with their weapons, fearing the internal damage that might result from the strength of an ‘Earth Xuan expert’!
In truth, were those projectile weapons really sent out by an ‘Earth Xuan expert’, none a single one of them would even have the opportunity to take a glimpse of the yellow radiance before being killed off. Not even the strongest one, the Silver Xuan expert was exempted! Unfortunately, in their state of shock, none of them thought of this fact!
Even after moving to dodge the incoming projectiles, two miserable screams echoed out. They were unable to avoid the coin-shaped dart in time and it pierced the area above their collarbone, their blood sprayed out as they fell to the ground. Those who had fallen to the ground even believed themselves to be already dead. Having taken a blow from an Earth Xuan expert, what can they who were only at the Ninth level do but await obediently for their deaths? Not to mention, those darts had already pierced their throats… they did not notice that the darts had only penetrated the area above their collarbone and did not even cut off their windpipes!
Following the second wave of projectiles, four more screams echoed out into the night. Twelve flying daggers struck either their throats or their foreheads. Those four men who had just dodged the coin shaped darts had their bodies struck by at least two daggers each, every one of them piercing their vital parts! Their faces expressed a look of disbelief as they tightly gripped onto the hilt of the dagger on their throats; their bodies remained upright as they fell face first onto the ground.
As for the Silver Xuan expert which received Jun Mo Xie’s utmost ”care”, his situation was far more miserable in comparison for he had already been grievously injured to begin with. His head and body were pierced with up to four daggers! All of them penetrated so deep that not even the handle of the daggers could be seen!
Even upon their death, they were unable to understand why. Didn’t they already avoid that first fatal strike? Why did they suddenly suffer from another mortal wound from these flying daggers? As an Earth Xuan expert, facing off against them whose existence was akin to ants, once his first strike had failed, then considering his status, should have stopped attacking. Why did he attack again? Why?
He actually utilized sneak attacks against people who were two whole levels below him. Moreover, after the first attack failed, he actually sent in a second one… Could it be that the current group of Earth Xuan experts were all shameless bastards without any bearings? In this world, Earth Xuan experts were all individuals who placed utmost importance on their reputations. Since when did they become so shameless?
