blankly, then turned pale in fright. However, Hong Xu simply watch coldly that blade approaching nearer to him, and did not look at how the a.s.sa.s.sin moves. By the time the Imperial Guards recovered from the state of shock, they only witness the a.s.sa.s.sin who was like a bird that broke its wing, weakly flying backwards, then heavily cras.h.i.+ng on the ground.

The a.s.sa.s.sin braces his stomach and lifted his head with difficulty. His eyes were filled with indeterminate confusion as he looks up on Hong Xu that was standing tall. His movement was sluggish, and his shrouded face seemed like it was damp from top to bottom of his jaw. As it turns out, he coughs out blood!

Such frightening agility! I am considered as one of the top master of martial arts in this continent. And yet, how can he effortlessly avoid my fatal strike, as well as not being deterred by the situation and enforcing his strength to cause heavy damage to me? 

The a.s.sa.s.sin weakly stood in four limbs and slowly backs off while staring at Hong Xu. Hong Xu’s face was expressionless as he walked besides the a.s.sa.s.sin, his eyes gleaming sharply and coldly, making the a.s.sa.s.sin who made contact with his eyes unconsciously trembling in cold.

“Just kill me!”

Hong Xu was looking down at the man disapprovingly like he’s an insect. He said: “Kill you? So how do you want to die?”

“Agh!” The man grunted in pain as he weakly lifted his hand, wanting to push away that foot that was ruthlessly crus.h.i.+ng and grinding his ribs.

“A suffering n.o.body like you, won’t live a good life, and can’t even die in peace as well.”

Zi Li who was leaning on the side of the doorway, secretly watches the situation outside. And each time that foot grinds downwards, Zi Li’s heart trembled in fear along with it.

This man, not only he is ruthlessly violent, he also acts like a mad person. Even if other people wanted to a.s.sa.s.sinate you, but since he’s already incapacitated, there’s no need to cripple him halfway through.  

Everyone attention was focused on that a.s.sa.s.sin, so Zi Li took advantage of the opportunity and slowly tip-toed towards the palace hall gates with his back sticking to the wall.”

“Haaah………” Once he managed to escape, Zi Li can’t help but release a long relaxed sigh.

But he had not yet rejoices enough, when a hand extended behind him and covered his mouth, then drags him backwards——
