278 The Super-Misunderstanding! (1/2)
Hit-man Jun's inference was reasonable. But it was slightly inconsistent.
The Yin-Yang Escape was a wonderful evasive technique. So much so that even the Eight Great Masters couldn't find Jun Mo Xie's tracks. But the Yin-Yang Escape didn't use the five key elements for the time being. One could go into hiding, but they'd still be discoverable for they would weren't escaping into the void. The technique merely altered the flow of air to create this anomaly. This technique wasn't much of an anomaly from this perspective. In fact, it was quite ordinary. A person would basically be walking around with some alterations in the flow of air around their body.
The vast majority of people were unable to detect these subtle changes.
However, who was Lei Wu Bei? He wouldn't have been worthy of his name if he couldn't detect these changes.
He could easily notice even the most-minute changes in the flow of air. However, the situation in front of him was too weird. He had never witnessed such a strong killing intention. He could infer that the strength of the individual emanating it was quite profound. Therefore, Lei Wu Bei had released his powerful Qi in order to protect himself.
However, Lei Wu Bei couldn't sense it once Jun Mo Xie entered the Hong Jun Pagoda.
Jun Mo Xie had realized this in time. He felt frustrated, and remained inside the Hong Jun Pagoda with a blank expression on his face. He stayed there for a while, and reckoned that he'd escape once Lei Wu Bei left. He came out to take a peek, and realized that Lei Wu Bei was unexpectedly rooted to the same spot. Moreover, the Young Master Jun had barely come out of the Hong Jun Pagoda… while being invisible… yet Lei Wu Bei's eyes quickly turned to look in his direction…
It seemed as if his eyes were a pair of jack-o'-lanterns.
[Damn! This fart has a lot of free time!] Jun Mo Xie felt very helpless since he had no option but to return inside. He inwardly cursed Lei Wu Bei. [I won't be able to get out of here before break of dawn at this rate. This isn't good…]
A Great Master would never doubt his spiritual sense. Though the Young Master Jun's odor subsided in a flash, but it left a deep impression on Master Lei. And he wouldn't dare to neglect it.
Lei Wu Bei had nothing to concern himself with while he returned from his confrontation with Solitary Eagle. Therefore, he had slowed his speed down. Moreover, he had attempted to look for the mysterious owner of that 'groan' throughout the journey. This had slowed him down even further…
He had barely returned to the vicinity of the Li Mansion. But he suddenly felt that blood-thirsty killing intention so close to his own body. He had no option but to mobilize his Xuan Qi as he prepared to move into action at a second's notice. He had clearly felt that sharp killing intention. [It's terrifying!]
Only the world's top assassin had the ability to emit such an intense killing intention. [Such a ferocious killing intention could even kill a Great Master like me.] Therefore, Lei Wu Bei didn't dare to neglect it. He released his powerful spiritual pressure, and then waited alertly.
Hit-man Jun's killing intention and murderous aura were far beyond that of an ordinary person. And Jun Mo Xie was well aware of it. His strength may not have been very tyrannical. However, that didn't lower his killing intention.
Lei Wu Bei concentrated hard as he remained there silent, calm and unmoving. [That cold killing intention suddenly disappeared, and everything is calm again. In fact, there's no sign of any danger… I can't help but find this strange. Was I imagining it? But why would I imagine something like this?]
He would've let his guard down since he felt that he had been overly suspicious a 'lurking' enemy. But, that murderous aura had momentarily resurfaced just when he was about to do this. Moreover, that murderous aura had appeared very close to his body. However, there was no one present near him…
Lei Wu Bei was about to move into action when that extremely terrible and lofty killing intention suddenly disappeared; it had vanished without a trace.
Lei Wu Bei was terrified! [What kind of a peerless killer would possess such a terrifying skill?!] Lei Wu Bei's entire body was covered in cold sweat. This was because he had suddenly recalled a terrifying person.
This person's Xuan Level might not have been anywhere-near Yun Bei Chen and Li Jue Tian, but Lei Wu Bei's chest had stiffened at the mere thought of him; this person was a very formidable individual. He had been active for dozens of years, and no one had ever escaped him once he had decided to assassinate them.
This man was a legend among the community of assassins. Everyone avoided him like the plague. Even Yun Bei Chen and Li Jue Tian had never dared to take this man lightly.
He was a frightening killer with mythical abilities — universally recognized as the living embodiment of death.
He was the greatest assassin — Chu Qi Hun!
[Who else could emit such a sharp, powerful and fatal killing intention? Who besides Chu Qi Hun is capable of hiding right beside me… without me becoming aware of their presence? Who besides Chu Qi Hun can disappear once I detected their killing intention?]
[There's no one else… not anywhere in the world…!]
[Even Yun Bei Chen and Li Jue Tian wouldn't be able to pull this off! They can defeat me. In fact, they can kill me! However, it's impossible for them to hide right beside me without my knowledge… but Chu Qi Hun has.]
Lei Wu Bei's became more cautious as he became increasingly sure about this. And the more cautious he got… the more intense that feeling of fear became.
Man is always full of doubts and fear when he faces the unknown. And the Great Master was no exception… especially since he was aware that he was facing a formidable enemy he couldn't beat.
