Chapter 62: Assassin

  Seeing more and more people gathering here, the man in black knew that this task was impossible to complete. Just as he was about to retreat, he suddenly saw Lin Wu rushing over.

  "Didn't expect the target to show up himself, humph, a mid-level swordsman, I'll take care of him easily." The black-clothed man's heart was filled with joy, his aura bursting out fiercely, dodging the Purple Electric Leopard's claws, and rapidly shooting towards Lin Wu.

  Lin Wu also discovered that the black-clad man was charging towards him, quickly drawing his long sword. Lin Wu stared intently at the black-clad man, who was a great swordsman, and he had to be extremely cautious.

  Suddenly, the black-clad man who had been rushing towards Lin Wu made a swift move and vanished into thin air. "Assassination technique!!" Lin Wu's heart skipped a beat as he realized that this was a signature move of a top-notch swordsman-level assassin, which was also the reason why such assassins were so troublesome to deal with.

  "Where is it?" Lin Wu's eyes narrowed as he scanned his surroundings cautiously.

  At this time, the old man also rushed over. He saw that the black-clothed person suddenly disappeared and took out a packet of powder-like substance to sprinkle into the air, shouting "Kid, close your eyes!!"

  Lin Wu heard this and instantly closed his eyes, while at this moment the powdery thing appeared in an instant and exploded into a vast strong light, and a figure emerged from the strong light.

  "Kill him, youngster!!" The old man continued to shout.

  "Revealing Agent!!" The man in black gritted his teeth, staring at the old man. This revealing agent could be said to be the arch-nemesis of assassins, with countless assassins having died from it. Fortunately, this revealing agent was extremely difficult to refine, or else the profession of assassination would have almost disappeared.

  Just as the black-clad man was harboring hatred, Lin Wu opened his eyes and saw the black-clad man with one glance. He immediately stepped out and launched a three-segment slash, heading towards the black-clad man to kill him.

  "Get out!" The black-clad man, who had been repeatedly frustrated, saw that even a mid-level swordsman dared to take advantage of him. With rage burning in his heart, the dark aura on his body surged forth as he charged at Lin Wu's vitals with his dagger.

  Facing the black-clad assassin who was approaching him head-on, Lin Wu took a step back and launched the second slash of his Triple Slash technique, instantly moving to one side to dodge the assassin's attack. Just as the assassin was momentarily stunned, the final slash of the Triple Slash struck out at this moment.

  "Ding!"

  However, the assassin's reaction was also very agile, and he hurriedly used his dagger to block Lin Wu's long sword. Afterwards, the assassin sneered and pulled out a hand crossbow with his other hand.

  "Not good." Lin Wu quickly retreated.

  "Die." The assassin pulled the trigger at Lin Wu, who was fleeing in the distance. A sharp arrow shot towards Lin Wu with a loud noise.

  Unable to dodge, Lin Wu suddenly stopped in his tracks, focusing his spirit as he thrust out with the long sword in his hand.

  Successive thrusts!!

  "Ding!"

  Lin Wu's sword tip and the arrowhead of the crossbow bolt collided with each other, and the crossbow bolt lost its accuracy in an instant, flying diagonally to one side.

  "Good!"

  At this time, several figures appeared around them, and it was indeed Grand Duke Roselle and Wu Bo. Grand Duke Roselle looked at Lin Wu with a face full of praise, the previous move was simply like a stroke of genius.

  The assassin's eyes narrowed sharply at the sight of Duke Roselia, "Swordmaster!!"

  "That's right, you're from the Assassin's Guild. You dare to come to my Rose family and attempt an assassination? Well, today you won't be leaving." The Grand Duke of Rose said coldly.

  "Hmph, think you can stop me? Dream on!" The assassin said, glancing at Lin Wu. He knew that today he absolutely couldn't kill his target, but if he just went back like this, then his 100% completion rate legend would be broken.

  He touched the scroll in his arms, the assassin gritted his teeth and rushed towards Lin Wu, willing to take a risk for the sake of maintaining the legend of never failing a mission.

  "Looking for death." The Grand Duke of Hawthorn saw that the assassin dared to make a move in front of him, and he also got angry. Suddenly, a large red sword appeared in the Grand Duke's hand, and the sword, which was burning with fierce flames, was swung lightly by the Grand Duke. A flame blade shot out with intense momentum.

  The aura is released outside, this is the symbol of a swordsman.

  The assassin felt the scorching aura of the Dou Qi blade behind him, and suddenly crushed the scroll in his arms. A clay wall suddenly appeared behind the assassin.

  As the earth wall appeared, the Dou Qi Blade released by the Great General of the Thorns was blocked by the earth wall. However, the earth wall was a 3rd-level earth magic, and it couldn't completely block the Dou Qi Blade released by a strong swordmaster at all, at most it could only hinder it a bit. But for that assassin, it was already enough, as long as he could get close to his target, he would have an opportunity.

  "Assassinate!!" When the assassin approached Lin Wu to within 10 meters, his speed suddenly surged, and in an instant he was already in front of Lin Wu. The dagger in his hand rapidly slashed towards Lin Wu's neck, and as long as it scratched a tiny bit of skin, the deadly poison on it would take the opponent's life.

  However, the assassin suddenly saw a blue cross appear in front of him, and if he moved even slightly, the blue cross would cut through his body.

  "Unleash your aura!!"

  The assassin stared at Lin Wu in shock, a mid-level swordsman, absolutely no mistake, as an assassin, accurately understanding the target's strength is key to completing the task, and indeed he was a mid-level swordsman, but this was definitely the result of his aura being released.

  In front of him was the Ten-Character Battle Aura, and behind him was the Flame Battle Aura Slash. Under the cover of these two attacks, the assassin couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his sweat instantly soaked through his clothes.

  "Run!!" At this moment, the assassin had only one thought in his mind.

  At the critical moment, the assassin's great swordsmanship also completely burst out, his whole body emitting a dark and fierce aura, the assassin's shadow instantly becoming blurry, then the assassin brought a residual shadow to rush outwards.

  "Think you can escape!" Lin Wu sneered inwardly, the assassin having failed to kill him now wanted to flee. Although Lin Wu's strength was no match for the assassin, this didn't mean that Lin Wu was a soft persimmon.

  "Thunderbolt!" Lin Wu shouted.

  As Lin Wu's voice fell, the purple electric leopard beside him instantly transformed into a bolt of purple lightning and pounced on the assassin. In terms of speed, the assassin was not even a match for the purple electric leopard.

  "Whoa!!" The assassin being chased by the Violet Lightning Leopard had deep gashes clawed into his body, and fresh blood splattered everywhere.

  At this time, however, the assassin did not know that he had used some kind of secret technique to turn himself into a shadow and shoot rapidly towards the distance.

  "Shadow concealment!! It seems this assassin is quite highly ranked in the Assassin's Guild." The Duke of Rose was somewhat surprised to see him turn into a shadow in an instant.

  "But from now on, this person is half-crippled." The old man added.

  "The Grand Master was startled." said Rose Grand Duke hastily.

  "Roar~~" At this moment, the purple electric leopard ran back and returned to its own nest.

  "This time, thanks to the Purple Thunder Leopard's discovery of the assassin, otherwise the consequences would be unthinkable. Wu Bo, from now on, strengthen the family's guard, I don't want this kind of situation to happen again." The Duke of Rose looked at the Purple Thunder Leopard with joy in his heart, he had already learned about its origins from Wu Bo.

  "You must be Lin Wu." said the Duke of Hawthorn as he walked up to Lin Wu.

  "That's right."

  "Not bad, you're quite powerful at such a young age. If you have any questions about cultivation in the future, feel free to ask me." The Grand Duke of Hawthorn patted Lin Wu's shoulder and smiled.
