As [Tribunal] tore open a corner of the [Rabbit-Flower Moment] from the outside, cracks began to spread in the void. This Domain was like a piece of ice whose corner was forcefully smashed by an awl, and the destruction point began to spread from the edge to the center.
A crack slowly spread to the Young Sect Leader's side. That figure who was sluggish as if sealed in ice suddenly seemed to recover a trace of vitality, beginning to tremble constantly to break free from the Domain's control.
As that pair of bloodshot pupils abruptly contracted, Spiritual Power like a vast ocean directly shattered the Domain around him, allowing him to break free from the time confinement and steadily land back on the ground!
The Young Sect Leader let out a long sigh of relief.
Seeing this scene, The Assassin's expression was incredibly gloomy!
Faint blue smoke drifted from the muzzle of the gun, an empty sleeve dancing in the wind... Chen Ling stepped on the air step by step, finally walking back amidst the ruins of the restaurant's second floor.
"... It's you?" Seeing Chen Ling's face, The Assassin's eyes narrowed slightly.
"You are here to save him?"
The Assassin guessed Chen Ling's intentions, and a wisp of killing intent locked onto Chen Ling as well.
At the same time, the Young Sect Leader who took the opportunity to regain his mobility also turned his head to look over here... His gaze towards Chen Ling was somewhat puzzled, because he fundamentally didn't know the other party. Why did he suddenly make a move and pull him out from The Assassin's Domain?
Originally a life-and-death struggle between two people, due to the intervention of a third party, the balance was completely broken and became more uncontrollable!
The entire second floor of the restaurant fell into a dead silence.
"No intention to disturb." Chen Ling pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth to say, "... I just wanted to come back and retrieve something."
Chen Ling's original intention was just to tear open a corner of this Domain that seemed to be able to affect time, to make it convenient for himself to retrieve his Envelope, while avoiding being dragged into the battlefield... He also didn't expect that just firing a shot from the outside would indirectly affect the inside of the Domain, allowing the Young Sect Leader to take the opportunity to break out of his predicament.
"Retrieve something?"
Hearing this sentence, The Assassin slightly froze, his expression somewhat subtle.
He carefully sized up Chen Ling up and down for a few glances, and said faintly, "Fine then, you go get it."
Chen Ling's gaze swept across his surroundings, and soon locked onto the Envelope pressed under a pile of rubble. Fortunately, this letter was not damaged in the battle between the two, only stained with some dust on the surface.
Under the gazes of the two, Chen Ling walked straight to the Envelope, bent down, and picked it up...
The next moment,
A cold gleam abruptly stabbed down at the back of Chen Ling's neck!
"Stop!" Seeing this, the Young Sect Leader raised his hand without hesitation!
But The Assassin's movements were truly too fast. The palms gripping the dual blades seemed to have parted the time gap once again. The sharp cold gleam from top to bottom was about to pierce through the back of Chen Ling's neck, but exploded into pieces the moment it touched Chen Ling's skin!
Bang!
Before anyone knew when, the blade in his hand had already turned into a ball of fragile wood chips.
The Assassin was stunned. Immediately after, an invisible force choked his throat, directly lifting him into mid-air, smashing him into another wall like a cannonball, the dull loud noise like thunder!
The Young Sect Leader's strike was only a trace slower, but its power was absolutely not small... In his view, he broke out of his predicament because of Chen Ling. Now that Chen Ling was in danger, it was absolutely impossible for him to sit idly by.
The Assassin's internal organs were injured by the terrifying shockwave power. His body embedded in the wall fiercely spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Before he could make any further movements, a one-armed figure had already come before him like a ghost!
A touch of apricot-red surfaced at the corners of those eyes, demonic and mysterious. Expressionlessly, Chen Ling pressed the gun muzzle against The Assassin's glabella.
[Tribunal] activated once again!
A terrifying Aura capable of Deconstructing everything brewed within the gun muzzle. Chen Ling looked at him coldly, his tone chilling as if from the netherworld:
"What... seeing that I am Fourth Order, you really take me for a Pushover?"
Scarlet blood slid down the corner of The Assassin's mouth. He narrowed his eyes and looked straight into Chen Ling's gaze... For some unknown reason, he always felt that in those eyes dyed with apricot-red corners, there seemed to be something hidden... Some kind of extremely crazy, extremely terrifying thing.
As an [Assassin], instinct was his strong suit, and the sense of crisis brought by instinct when facing Chen Ling was actually even more terrifying than when facing the Young Sect Leader!
This Fourth Order Path of the Soldier user before his eyes was definitely not as simple as seen on the surface.
"This is the Tianshu Domain Patrol!! Stop fighting immediately!!"
"Repeat! Stop fighting immediately!!"
"First offense is a warning. If you ignore the warning and continue fighting, the qualifications of all of you to compete for the [Heaven-Reaching Star Position] will be canceled!!"
Sharp alarm sounds transmitted from the chaotic street below. The continuous battle here had already attracted the order maintainers of Tianshu Domain. They should have already investigated the backgrounds of the fighting parties, opening their mouths to directly threaten with qualifications.
The red and blue warning lights flashed in the dust. Chen Ling's fingertip rested on the trigger, his pupils staring into The Assassin's eyes... Seemingly without any intention of stopping.
"... You, still want to kill me?" Sensing Chen Ling's killing intent, The Assassin spoke in surprise. "Do you not want the [Heaven-Reaching Star Position] anymore?"
Killing intent could not be faked. The Assassin could feel that even facing the warning from Tianshu Domain, this person before his eyes didn't waver in the slightest. He really wanted to kill him right now!
Chen Ling didn't answer. He still looked at The Assassin expressionlessly, his eyes as deep as an abyss.
After a long time, he still slowly released the gun.
"... Scram."
As his voice fell, Chen Ling turned around and walked into the dust alone.
Chen Ling actually didn't have that big of a desire for the [Heaven-Reaching Star Position], and he cared even less about the warning from Tianshu Domain... He always repaid any grudge. This Assassin dared to take the opportunity to sneak attack him, so he naturally wanted to kill the other party on the spot.
But the problem was, even in this kind of situation, Chen Ling was not one hundred percent sure he could kill a Fifth-Tier. Moreover, if he really killed someone in public, in case he was investigated and hunted down, and his Dusk Society identity was exposed, he was afraid it would affect the other Dusk Society members preparing to participate in the competition for the [Heaven-Reaching Star Position].
The Young Sect Leader watched Chen Ling leave without looking back. He opened his mouth, wanting to speak but stopping on second thought.
The Assassin came down from the wall somewhat wretchedly. He glanced at the Young Sect Leader, and then at the back of Chen Ling leaving. "I take back that sentence just now... It seems that among the people who came to compete for the [Heaven-Reaching Star Position] this time, there are still some formidable Roles."
He paused for a moment and spoke again:
"But waiting until the trial begins, is when the real determining of superiority and inferiority, life and death happens... Hopefully, next time you will still have the opportunity to point a gun at my head."
"Oh." Chen Ling didn't turn his head back.
"You don't look like someone from the official channels of the other great Domains... Are you also from the civilian side? What is your name?"
Chen Ling's footsteps slightly paused. After being silent for a moment, he turned his head and spoke calmly:
"Me? My name is Jian Wubing."
