Chapter 217: Killing on the Rainy Night

Translator: Flying Lines

Chang Henshui was shocked and suddenly came back to earth.

Only then did he realize that he had just made a great mistake. Even if there was a relationship between Lin Xun and Master Xun, but how could he, as a follower of the Azure-light Pavilion, show mercy now?

In fact, Chang Henshui knew that the real reason for his hesitation was that he had already given up the idea of dealing with Lin Xun subconsciously.

Otherwise, even if Lin Xun mentioned any other personage with a higher position, let alone Master Xun, he would not be hesitant!

Swish!

Chang Henshui no long hesitated, held his purple spear with a decisive look and rushed to Lin Xun in the distance.

The practitioner in Earth-gang Realm was so powerful! At this moment, Lin Xun felt a chill on his back. He dodged aside quickly and slashed at the spear. By the counter force, he rushed to kill a practitioner at one side.

With a muffled thud, the practitioner was beheaded before he could evade.

At this time, Chang Henshui came to attack Lin Xun. His purple spear was waved like a dancing snake with flickering shadows. What terrible power it was!

“Kill him! Kill him!”

In the distance, Qi Tianxing screamed again and again!

Blood permeated the hall. Originally, there were dozens of representatives from great forces, but now only five or six of them were still alive. If Chang Henshui didn’t come, fewer would be left.

“Are you sure you want to be against me?”

While Lin Xun waved his knife and fight with Chang Henshui, he frowned and asked.

Lin had sounded out Chang’s intention and found that Chang Henshui was unwilling to be his enemy. Therefore, Lin Xun did not immediately use the deadly move when he fought with Chang Henshui.

“I should serve the one paying me salary. Since I am a follower of Azure-light Pavilion, how could I let you kill my employers in front of me?”

Determinedly and relentlessly, Chang Henshui gave full play to his power and put a lot of pressure on Lin Xun.

“In that case, please don’t blame me for not giving you a chance.”

Lin Xun dismissed his hesitation and kept calm, his black eyes like two flashes of black lightning. If failing to kill Chang Henshui quickly, he would only make himself fall into a dangerous situation as time passed.

However, when Lin Xun was about to perform the Reaching for the Stars, his eyelid suddenly twitched. He felt the danger was coming, and then he dodged without hesitation, pouncing on the distance.

Buzz!

Almost at the same time, a sharp whistle arose and the air was torn like cloth. It could be seen clearly that a brilliant arrow rushed in through the window on one side of the hall.

With a bang, Lin Xun found a hole emerged in the ground where he stood originally, and the Tide-observing Pavilion shook and was on the verge of collapse.

Chang Henshui changed his face. What a terrible arrow it was!

Qi Tianxing and other representatives from great forces got startled in a moment. Then the smile brightened their faces as they realized their reinforcements were coming!

However, when they tried to find Lin Xun, he had already disappeared.

“Damn it! He evaded!”

Qi Tianxing got mad and suddenly pointed to Chang Henshui, “Chang Henshui! How dare you connive in Lin’s murderous acts on purpose and let him kill so many people. You wait, and you will pay for it!”

Chang Henshui squinted and was full of sulkiness in his heart. How he wished he could kill this dandy!

Finally, he restrained his anger, giving a snort of contempt coldly, “Childe Qi, thanks to my help, you could be safe now!”

Then, he turned away.

Qi Tianxing trembled with anger and screamed, “You, you are just a flunkey. You not only didn’t admit your fault, but also dare to talk back. There’s no law?!”

“Childe Qi, that friend is right. We are not here to save you. Please listen to my advice and leave here with your people as soon as possible.”

Suddenly, a dull and dry sound came outside the window of the hall.

What?

Qi Tianxing and the remaining representatives of the great forces were all nervous. Was that one taking action not one of their reinforcements?

“Who are you?” Qi Tianxing plucked up the courage to ask.

“Tingyu Tower.”

Outside the window, the dry voice gave a name and disappeared completely.

Tingyu Tower!

They were startled that Tingyu Tower unexpectedly took action too!

…

The rainstorm was still raging. The night was still as dark as the ink. Occasionally, there was lightning tearing the sky, with dazzling luster.

Ghost Moon walked on the street casually. Her slender and graceful figure was exposed to the heavy rain; as if strolling in the rain, she seemed indescribably cozy.

As one of the most dangerous assassins in Tingyu Tower, she had carried out hundreds of missions over the years, and failed for only several times.

Suddenly, she stopped, with her eyes overlooking a faraway house and scarlet lips forming a coquettish smile, “My friend, hiding is useless. Why not come out and fight with me?”

Her voice was as sweet as a songbird’s.

The rainstorm poured down. Except the sound of the rain, no one answered for a long time.

Ghost Moon seemed very patient, standing there, and said, “You cannot escape, for this area has been blocked. Now I can give you a fair chance to fight. But if you do not cherish it, then I can only…”

While she was speaking, a laugh came from that house shrouded in the heavy rain, “You are not eligible to talk about justice with me!”

Ghost Moon pressed her scarlet lips and smiled in a wild way, “Friend, you have exposed yourself.”

Whoosh!

In a moment, there was a residual shadow of her figure in the air. Then she rushed in the direction of her rival at an incredible speed.

But in the middle of the road, with her eyes wide open, she seemed to have seen something horrible and her glamorous face changed suddenly.

Swish!

She twisted her body at an unbelievable angle. Unexpectedly, she jumped in mid-air, then she soared and rushed to the distant sky.

Meanwhile, a vague arrow swept past and pierced her left leg silently.

Puff!

Blood gushed out of the wound. Ghost Moon stumbled in mid-air and fell like a wild goose that got shot.

That made Ghost Moon shocked. What strange archery it was!

By virtue of rich assassination experience, Ghost Moon restored calm instantly. Before falling to the ground, she evaded toward one side with the power of her body like a flickering moving rainbow.

The archery was too strange, silent and impossible to be guarded against, which made Ghost Moon give up attacking Lin frontally.

“Be careful—-”

Before Ghost Moon hid under the eaves on one side of the street, a dry and stiff voice arose.

That was Gray Mink!

Ghost Moon felt a thrill of terror. With more than ten amazing evasive movements, she broke through a wall with her body and rushed in.

“Be careful!”

But when she entered the broken house, the voice of Gray Mink rang in her ear, which made her face change again. He was horrified and wondered what was wrong with it.

She did not know about it, for from beginning to end, she didn’t get any sign of danger. However, that was the most terrible!

Taking a deep breath, she continued to evade. Now she couldn’t care so much, and the imperative thing was to save herself.

At the same time, she realized that the mission this time was more dangerous than she had expected!

It seemed that it was a long time. Actually, all this happened just in a moment, which was quite dangerous. It was common for Ghost Moon and she had adapted to such a dangerous atmosphere by these years’ assassinations.

While, what made her frown was that she didn’t hear the voice of Gray Mink since then.

Gray Mink, her partner, was good at lurking and could sense danger naturally.

For years, they had been carrying out assassinations together, with the great tacit understanding. And with his cover, Ghost Moon had been saved from a lot of deadly crisis.

Like this, Gray Mink had done her a big favor secretly.

Unlike before, however, this time Gray Mink, after reminding her, did not appear immediately, but rather disappear. That made Ghost Moon uneasy.

Suddenly, there was a heartrending cry in the distance.

Ghost Moon’s face turned pale when she found that it was Gray Mink!

Whiz!

Without any hesitation, Ghost Moon ran to him regardless of danger. As Gray Mink had saved her life for more than once, how could she watch helplessly Gray Mink die?

Fortunately, there was no danger on her way. But when Ghost Moon saw Gray Mink, her heart sank.

Gray Mink was lying in the water, dying. His lean, masculine face looked pale. There was a startling hole in his abdomen, with blood running out.

That was the vital point of the Ocean of Qi, and the Pool of Spiritual Power was there. It was the cultivation foundation of a practitioner, but now there was a bloody hole!

There was no doubt that Gray Mink was a useless man now!

Ghost Moon felt that her mind went blank as if it was struck by lightning.

“Moon, take it easy. The guy was also attacked by our leader Residual Snow and seriously injured. Now that our leader has gone to chase him, I believe it will not be long before we complete this task.”

Gray Mink’s voice was hoarse and dry. He comforted Ghost Moon, “But I’m afraid I won’t be able to act with you again.”

Ghost Moon felt sad, crouched down and hugged Gray Mink. She took a deep breath and said, “Tell me the direction in which the guy fled.”

There was a great grudge in her voice.

Gray Mink grabbed her arms and said, “This is the fate of assassins. Defeating means death. It’s lucky that I am still alive. You have been injured, so don’t be impulsive. Our leader Residual Snow can fix it.”

Before Ghost Moon said more, Gray Mink said, “Moon, listen to me this time. Our rival is quite cunning and cruel. If you go, I am worried that you will be a burden to our leader.”

Ghost Moon changed her face, full of anger and hate, and said, “I just want to kill him in person.”

Suddenly, in the distant rainstorm, there was a boorish and lazy voice, “Girl, it’s normal that you want to kill him in person. If you are dead, you will even lose the chance to do it.”

Who was that?

In a moment, both Ghost Moon and Gray Mink changed their faces.
