Rabbit-Flower Moment
"Lin Yan, right?"
The man in the lead spoke in a deep voice, "Very good... We will remember you."
As his voice fell, densely packed Domains opened simultaneously. The terrifying Oppressive Aura directly turned the entire area into purgatory. Under this superimposed oppressive feeling, Jian Changsheng only felt his legs become extremely heavy...
He gritted his teeth, just planning to fight to the death to break out of the encirclement, when a large character suddenly surfaced from the earth:
—— Earth.
The appearance of this character was extremely obscure, as if it was already carved between the crevices of the soil. The crowd whose great battle was about to erupt fundamentally didn't detect the appearance of this character!
Jian Changsheng just as he was about to take a step out, was like stepping into quicksand. His whole person abruptly sank into the ground, disappearing in the blink of an eye!
The Dragon-Strangling Warriors waiting to strike were suddenly startled.
"Escape art... Hmph, and still saying he's not an Assassin?"
"What should we do? Still continue to chase?"
"Forget it. Making such a big commotion, the guys from Tianshu Domain will probably come looking... Before coming out, that person instructed not to cause trouble outside, to give Tianshu Domain face."
"That kid doesn't look old, he should also be here to compete for the [Heaven-Reaching Star Position]... If that's the case, there will always be a time we meet again."
"Lin Yan, I've remembered this name."
"Disperse."
"..."
...
Comet Restaurant.
"Actually not dead even like this?" The Assassin looked at the Young Sect Leader who still had a sword stuck in his neck, his red eyes staring at him, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter,
"Not only that, this Aura..."
Bang—!!
The Men in Black surrounding the Young Sect Leader charged in the direction of The Assassin at the same time. All the tables and chairs in their path shattered completely, fluttering wood chips dancing wildly in the air!
The Assassin's sword was still stuck in the Young Sect Leader's neck. With empty hands, he coldly snorted. Two Short Blades slipped down from his sleeves. The next moment his fingertips danced lightly, those two Short Blades seeming to tear open the gaps of time!
A Domain opened simultaneously!
The fluttering and falling wood chips almost hovered in mid-air, floating down at a speed of one millimeter per second. As The Assassin took a step forward, they were all as if brushed by blade light, shaved into tiny and exquisite wood flowers... In the time gap, thousands of wood flowers bloomed silently amidst the blade light!
The Assassin moved;
He wove through the slowly falling wood flowers like an agile black fish. The sharp blade light easily flashed past the heads of the nearest two Men in Black. The black hoods silently split open bit by bit in the slowly flowing time gap...
The Assassin didn't turn his head. He just brushed past the sky full of wood flowers like the wind. The blades didn't seem to appear between his palms, but the flickering blade light filled every corner of the restaurant.
In 0.5 seconds, the blade light flashed seventy-two times.
When The Assassin's figure came before the Young Sect Leader again, those black-clothed figures who used to surround the Young Sect Leader like stars holding the moon had all been slashed several times on average... The black clothes embroidered with silver clouds gradually shattered in mid-air, like chopped black petals, interweaving with the slowly falling wood flowers, hovering in mid-air.
And at this time, the Young Sect Leader whose neck was pierced through, still stared at the position where The Assassin stood just now with red eyes, motionless like a sculpture.
"This time, I'll see how you can still dodge?"
The Assassin spoke in a cold voice.
Just as his blade light was about to slash towards the Young Sect Leader, that pair of bloodshot pupils suddenly rolled bizarrely!
The Young Sect Leader's gaze seemed to catch up with The Assassin's footsteps in an instant, meeting eyes with The Assassin... Through those bloodshot eyes, The Assassin could see his own reflection behind him, an inexplicable chill surging into his heart!
The Assassin fiercely turned his head to look, only to see that in the sky full of dancing wood flowers and black cloth fragments, not a single trace of blood appeared...
Under the black clothes, there was never anyone to begin with.
"... No one?!" The Assassin's pupils abruptly contracted. "How is this possible?!"
He clearly saw those Men in Black crowding around the Young Sect Leader, caring for him like elders, able to serve soup, pick up food, and even make various different sounds... How could there be no one??
That pair of bloodshot pupils gradually trembled, sometimes gentle, sometimes angry, sometimes brutal, as if dozens of personalities were crowded in the same mind. An extreme ice-coldness shrouded The Assassin's body!
"I said... my brother, is not a traitor!"
At the instant the Young Sect Leader's chilling voice sounded, a sense of life-and-death crisis surged into The Assassin's heart. Without hesitation, he twisted his body and retreated in the time gap, several invisible cold winds whistling past him!
Boom—!!!
In an instant, several slashes almost brushed past The Assassin's body, chopping onto the wall behind, directly blasting the front wall into fragments. A burst of explosive sound sounded from the second floor of the Comet Restaurant again!
The exclamations of the residents on the street rose and fell, billowing dust sweeping at the shattered wall... A figure stood there somewhat wretchedly, scarlet blood flowing down his fingertips to the ground.
"Those just now, were all 'puppets' huh." The Assassin looked at the wound on his arm, as if guessing something. "Invisible 'puppets', this is my first time encountering them... What are those things?"
The Young Sect Leader didn't answer. He was still in The Assassin's Domain, his movements extremely sluggish... but that pair of bloodshot eyes always locked onto The Assassin's figure, and those invisible "puppets" seemingly weren't affected by this Domain.
A fatal crisis constantly lingered in The Assassin's heart!
"Interesting..."
As if he hadn't experienced a life-and-death crisis for too long, in The Assassin's slightly narrowed pupils, there was actually a bit of excitement instead. He licked his lips,
"Even if your 'puppets' can ignore my [Rabbit-Flower Moment], your body is still deeply trapped within it... Unless my Spiritual Power is exhausted, otherwise it's almost impossible for you to break free from the inside.
Then let's see, whether your 'puppets' kill me first... or I cut off your head first?"
The Young Sect Leader's bloody pupils stared fixedly at The Assassin, not knowing what he was thinking.
Just as the two were at daggers drawn,
Behind the broken wall with flying dust, a pitch-black muzzle aimed at this second floor of the restaurant that was at daggers drawn!
"[Tribunal]."
Following a voice faintly sounding, the bullet that Deconstructs all things whistled and tore through the void, crashing onto this Domain of time gaps, actually forcefully tearing open a corner of it!
In that corner, the wood flowers originally still sluggish in the air suddenly seemed to be knocked back to their original time flow rate, turning back into falling wood chips, rapidly falling back to the ground. A gust of wild wind dispersed the billowing dust, gradually revealing the scene behind.
The Assassin's brows furrowed. Turning his head to look, he only saw a figure wearing a black windbreaker, holding a gun single-handedly, silently standing tall in the void outside the restaurant.
