Chapter 17 17 Assassination
Chapter 17 17. Assassination
"How's it going?"
At the end of the Great Wall, there were two men wearing crimson trench coats standing on top of the city wall, one fat and one thin, looking at the forest in the distance.
The tall and thin man said coldly: "There is no summons from the killer, so it seems that he has not succeeded yet."
"What kind of killer did you hire?" The short, fat man looked unhappy. "It takes so long to kill a first-level kid?"
"Tsk, Panda, don't worry. In order to prevent mistakes, I paid a lot of money to hire that bald man. He is a second-level man, and he once assassinated a third-level spiritual master. This time he has to deal with a hairy man. This guy is just trying to kill a chicken with a knife."
The tall and thin man's eyes were gloomy and he continued calmly, "What's more, it would be difficult for the boy named Xia to survive Qi Xiao's hands. We may not even need to take action."
"It's best!" Although Panda was a little short and chubby, his thick glasses gave him a bookish look. He pushed up the frame, "This time you concealed our actions and acted without permission. If the assassination of Xia Feng was revealed, If the Lord knows about it, it won’t be easy for me!”
As he said that, he gave the tall and thin man a cold look, "So, Knight Yan, you'd better pray that Xia Feng can really die in the Evil Dragon Forest!"
Seeing that Pan Da was still questioning him and looking condescending, Yan Xuga was displeased and sneered: "Fat Pan, just be more careful. There is no way that boy named Xia can walk out of the Evil Dragon Forest alive!"
While the two were talking, they didn't realize that there was a woman in a black dress standing higher on the wall behind them.
Mu Qingtong stood tall in an elegant black dress with her hands behind her hands, a semi-transparent black lace veil hanging on her face, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she looked down at the two people's backs, "Look at the half-moon emblem on the windbreaker, it's from the Black Moon Holy See." ?”
Why did the people from the Holy See take action against Xia Feng? Mu Qingtong raised his head and looked into the depths of the forest, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
A second-level assassin who has surpassed the level and killed a third-level spiritual master must have rich combat experience, which even she would find difficult to deal with.
But it's not impossible.
One of the ways is to start a tug-of-war. As long as she hides her figure and escapes in the forest for two days, she is sure to kill the opponent.
As for Xia Feng
"Mr. Xia, if you die like this, it only means that you are not worthy of being my opponent."
The woman in the black dress had beautiful pale golden eyes, standing on the wall and looking at the blood moon in the sky. The concentration of evil force here made her a little uncomfortable.
If Xia Feng could deal with the pursuer, it would probably take at least two days, and the Evil Dragon Forest was open for five days every year. Thinking about this place, she was too lazy to stay any longer and turned around to go down the city wall.
"Let's see again the day after tomorrow, Xia Feng, I hope you won't disappoint me."

"This smell is so familiar"
Xia Feng looked at the wisdom fruit in his hand, feeling speechless and disappointed.
After returning to Qinghe District from the black hole, he walked back leisurely while counting the loot.
The outer shell of the wisdom fruit is rough and dark red in color. After peeling off, the flesh inside appears translucent white, and looks just like a lychee.
After eating it, it tastes just like lychee.
Good guy! The fruit of wisdom in this world is lychee?
But after eating one, he did feel a little more rational.
But at the same time, he clearly felt that his ability to absorb the evil force began to decline rapidly, and he even felt a sense of irritation that he hated the evil force.
"Hiss—" Xia Feng's eyes widened, and he subconsciously slammed the bag full of wisdom fruit onto the ground, "Damn it, it's actually a poisonous fruit!"
According to the textbook, the wisdom fruit has the function of clearing and resisting the erosion of evil forces. Obviously, this is his natural enemy!
To him it was the Queen's poisonous apple!
But he had just taken a few steps, and after thinking for a moment, he turned back to pick up the bag on the ground and blew away the ashes.
Although it is a very vicious fruit, the current market price of a wisdom fruit is 10,000 imperial coins.
There are still twelve pieces left in the bag, which is a huge sum of 120,000 yuan!
Previously, in order to raise the materials to activate the evil spirit's heart, he spent all his savings, which can be said to be extremely poor.
Especially since this month's rent hasn't been paid yet, having such a huge sum of money now solves an urgent need.
Xia Feng shook the fruit bag and grinned: "Since it's useless to me, then I'll use you to blast the gold coins!"
After putting the bag away, he took out the Life Fruit. Although this thing was called the Life Fruit, it did not have the heaven-defying effect of bringing the dead back to life.
However, after taking it, you can prolong your life. This prolongation of life is not false, but actually increases your life span by 1 day to 1 year.
The market price of this thing starts at 100,000, and really only rich people can afford it.
Because of this, there are many great people in this world who live to be over a hundred years old.
Of course, the Life Fruit is useless to him. After all, he relies on the evil heart to maintain his life. The higher the activity of the evil heart, the longer he can live.
[Activity remaining: 7 days, 4 hours and 39 minutes]
From this point of view, he still has about a week to collect the summoning materials for the "Gateway to the World"
"Huh?!" While he was thinking, Xia Feng's steps stagnated. His cold hairs stood on end, and at the same time, a layer of golden light appeared on his body. He flicked his long tail behind his tailbone to block the sneak attack, and bang——
He took advantage of the momentum to leap forward and jumped onto a treetop, turning around to look down.
The bald man in mink clothes took two steps back and recovered from his shock, "Damn it, you actually know how to do it? With such a huge intelligence error, what do you think the man in black robe will eat!"
Cursing in his mouth, the big man turned the delicate knife in his hand, raised his head and grinned,
"But kid, although it's a little unexpected, I like you, a little genius who is hidden. Do you want to know why?"
As he said that, he licked the delicate knife in his hand with his tongue, and his mouth opened wider, "Because, it's more fulfilling to kill like this!"
Xia Feng: "."
Xia Feng's eyes stayed on the bald man's knife. It turns out that there are really people who lick knives? Well, at least we can infer some combat information. The knife is not poisonous.
Oh no, now is not the time to think about these things. He looked at the strong man and was a little confused: "Who sent you? I don't seem to have offended anyone recently, right?"
The bald man smiled: "Who sent me? Of course-whoosh!!"
Just when Xia Feng's pupils dilated slightly and wanted to listen to who it was, the big man stepped on the foot, and the whole person rushed towards Xia Feng like a meteor, grinning with excitement and murderous intent in his eyes.
Damn, it's Lao Liu! Xia Feng hurriedly swung his knife horizontally and swung out three waves, attacking instead of defending.
Snap - but the next moment, the figure of the strong man who jumped into the air disappeared in a flash.
"Idiot, I'm behind you." The big man laughed from behind, and at the same time, he slapped with a palm strike with terrifying spiritual pressure, and Xia Feng's black eyes condensed.
The tail tip released a high-pressure impact point on the palm of the big man, bang! ! !
Xia Feng's face turned pale and vomited blood. His body flew into the air. He quickly turned around and stepped on the branches to gain leverage, and fled far away. Tactical retreat!
"Want to run! Can you run away!" The bald man sneered, and his figure passed over the woods like a meteor, at an extremely fast speed.
