Wu Shattered Star River
#40 - Chapter 40 Assassin
The person appeared from the bushes about twenty feet to the left. Jiang Han had just emerged from the burrow, and it was too late to return.
If he used the Earth Burrowing Art to rush into the ground, his back would be completely exposed to the masked man, and a casual blow from the masked man could take his life.
So he could only charge towards this person.
He didn't know what realm this person was in, but he felt a sense of danger.
His purpose was not to fight this person to the death, but to escape.
To escape, he had to create a good opportunity, which was why he took the initiative to attack.
The masked man paused in place, his back slightly arched, holding a black sword in his hand, staring at Jiang Han with eyes like a wild beast.
A master!
When Jiang Han saw this person's eyes and posture, he knew that this was a master who had experienced countless bloody battles.
Although he didn't make any movements, his long sword could strike a fatal blow at any time.
Twenty feet, ten feet!
Jiang Han's legs leaped high, his body soaring into the air, the long saber moving from back to front, carrying immense force, slashing heavily towards the masked man with a whistling sound that pierced the air.
The masked man still didn't move, his eyes fixed on Jiang Han, who was getting closer and closer.
Just as the saber was about to strike his head, his body rolled on the spot, and the long sword then slashed fiercely behind him.
Jiang Han's figure had just materialized behind him when he saw a flash of snow-white sword light.
He was shocked. Did this person actually predict the trajectory of his true body?
Was this person familiar with his Shadow Shift Divine Power? Or was his reaction speed heaven-defying?
Jiang Han didn't know, he could only retreat in haste. His reaction was still too slow, or rather, the person's attack speed was too fast.
The sword light flashed before him, and he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. The long sword had cut through his abdomen, leaving a narrow bloodstain.
"Buzz ~"
He released the Shadow Shift Divine Power at the first moment, and his true body appeared twenty feet away.
He covered his abdomen with one hand, but blood kept gushing out, and his face became extremely ugly.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly just now, and after the Shadow Shift, he chose to retreat instead of attacking.
Otherwise, this sword could have cut his intestines, and then this mountain would be his burial place.
"咻!"
The masked man hardly paused, and instantly swept over with lightning speed. The long sword twisted like a poisonous snake, stabbing straight at his face.
"Mystic Origin Realm, Second Level!"
Jiang Han roughly sensed it. This masked man should be a strong person in the Second Level of the Mystic Origin Realm.
Realm wasn't important, the most important thing was that this person's combat ability was extremely strong, and his reaction was too quick.
"Buzz ~"
He could only grit his teeth and forcibly release the Shadow Shift again. Continuously releasing this divine power at a high frequency would quickly consume his mental energy.
If he released it more than ten times in a row, he would feel dizzy, and even faint. But he had no choice at this moment, he would die if he didn't release the divine power.
"咻!"
He had just appeared dozens of feet to the left when a whistling sound rang out, and a snow-white sword light rapidly magnified in his eyes.
Jiang Han secretly cried out in pain. Was this person's reaction speed too perverted? Could he capture the trajectory of his teleportation?
Just like that, Jiang Han continuously used Shadow Shift. Each time his true body had just materialized, the masked man's sword would stab over.
Jiang Han didn't even have time to breathe. He had to continuously use the divine power, otherwise he would be stabbed to death.
More and more blood flowed from his abdomen. He had healing medicine in his arms, but he didn't have time to swallow it.
His face turned pale, and his heart became anxious. If this continued, he would be killed by the masked man sooner or later.
"There's a cave ahead!"
After teleporting another thirty feet, Jiang Han suddenly discovered a dark cave dozens of feet to his left front. It should be the nest of a demon beast.
He was overjoyed, and used the Shadow Shift Divine Power twice again. His body appeared in the cave.
Without any hesitation, he immediately used the Earth Burrowing Art, dug a passage, and rushed into the mountain.
"Hmm?"
The masked man flew over. When he arrived outside the tunnel dug by Jiang Han, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
He paused for a few breaths, then, carrying his sword, chased after him along the tunnel.
After the masked man chased into the tunnel, three people emerged from the nearby bushes. The leader was Jiang Peng, and the other two were the Gan brothers.
"Jiang Han is really strong, he's not dead yet?"
Gan Yu clicked his tongue secretly, and said with emotion: "This assassin is a Bronze-level assassin. He injured him with one move, but he still escaped."
"Two thousand Xuan stones weren't spent in vain!"
Jiang Peng said coldly: "My decision was right, wasn't it? Instead of hiring two Iron-level assassins, it's better to hire one Bronze-level assassin."
"Jiang Han is doomed this time. His speed is only so fast. Even if he can burrow into the ground, where can he escape to? It's estimated that his body will be brought back soon. Let's wait here."
"Wait here?"
Gan Mao was a little worried and said: "Why don't we go back to the pavilion first? Anyway, after the assassin completes the task, he will bring Jiang Han's head back to Dark City. There's no need for us to waste time here. If we're discovered, it won't be good."
"What are you afraid of?"
Jiang Peng snorted coldly and said: "We didn't do anything. We were just passing by here. What does it have to do with us?"
"Besides, the captain has arranged for people to keep an eye on Zuo Yiyi and the others. Once they go down the mountain, they will notify us. I'm waiting here today. When Jiang Han's body is brought back later, I'm going to cut him into a thousand pieces to avenge my father's murder."
"Alright!"
Gan Mao and Gan Yu joined the pavilion later. Jiang Peng reached the ninth level of the Purple Mansion earlier than them, and his status in the team was higher than theirs.
Since Jiang Peng said so, the two of them couldn't say anything more.
The three of them drilled back into the bushes and waited quietly for the assassin to bring back Jiang Han's body.
… …
"Boom!"
Dozens of feet underground, Jiang Han punched the top of the tunnel behind him. His strength was terrifying. With one punch, a large area of the soil on the top of the tunnel was collapsed by him, and the tunnel behind him was blocked off.
After collapsing a section of the tunnel, he immediately continued to dig the tunnel forward.
His realm was only the ninth level of the Purple Mansion, so his speed was naturally not as fast as the masked man behind him.
He still needed to dig a tunnel, which would always delay some time. He didn't want to be caught up by the masked man, so he could only collapse the tunnel behind him.
"Boom!"
A burst of explosion came from behind. The tunnel he collapsed was easily blasted open by the masked man, but the masked man's speed was inevitably affected.
"Damn it, he's haunting me!"
Jiang Han took out a healing pill and swallowed it. Feeling the movement behind him, he gritted his teeth and continued to dig the tunnel forward.
It seemed that this masked man would never give up until he killed him today, and kept chasing after him.
"You're not afraid of death, are you? Then keep chasing!"
A hint of ruthlessness appeared in Jiang Han's eyes. After blasting out two punches to collapse the tunnel behind him, he began to dig the tunnel diagonally downwards.
The deeper the tunnel went, the thinner the air would become, and the more difficult it would be to breathe. If he dug one or two thousand feet down, I'm afraid both of them would suffocate and die.
Jiang Han had no choice. The Earth Burrowing Art could not be used all the time. If he used it for too long, his physical strength would be greatly consumed, and he would not even have the strength to walk.
Since he couldn't get rid of the masked man in a short time, he could only take a risk, and at worst, die together.
In the tunnel five or six feet behind Jiang Han, the masked man had just blasted open the tunnel and discovered that the tunnel was constantly going downwards, and a look of hesitation appeared in his eyes.
The deeper he went, the more difficult it would be to breathe, the greater the invisible pressure would be, and the situation would become uncontrollable.
The problem was that if he didn't chase, Jiang Han would be able to escape easily, and his mission would fail.
"Chase!"
A hint of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes.
As assassins, they would basically know a kind of Mystic Skill, the Turtle Breathing Technique.
The Turtle Breathing Technique he mastered was still very advanced. He wouldn't die even if he didn't breathe for two or three incense sticks.
He didn't believe that Jiang Han could last longer than him?
