Chapter 1621 The Number One Killer Is Also in the Flower Core Formation Realm?!
“How did he block it?”
In the distance, a man in white was utterly integrated with the dazzling snow on all sides. He was lying on his stomach under a pile of snow. A stone nearly covered by the snow was a cover for his sneak attack. His face suddenly changed when he saw John Doe blocking the arrows with his arm.
It was hard to believe that a bare hand could block his arrows.
In his opinion, this was simply impossible.
It was the first time for him to kill an expert at the SS level, but he could easily slay an S-plus expert with only one arrow, not to mention his arrow strikes were getting increasingly stronger.
He had sent his three most powerful arrow attacks to hit John Doe.
The first arrow could kill an S-plus expert. Then, how could John Doe intercept the third arrow with his arm?
In an instant…
The a.s.sa.s.sin couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ver all over.
He was clear that…
He couldn’t complete this mission.
He shot out three arrows in a row but failed to finish off the target. All possible means and ways had been tried.
“Swoosh.”
Without the slightest hesitation…
As an idea came to his mind, the man immediately jumped up from the snow and fled quickly into the distance.
For him…
He had received half of the reward.
With 2.5 billion dollars, he could live comfortably for a few lifetimes. As long as he could escape from John Doe today, he could find a place to hide his ident.i.ty and live as a normal person again!
Here…
“Clack!”
Fang Qiu grabbed the arrow that had pierced his right arm with his left hand. Abruptly, he pulled the arrow that was stuck between two bones. Then he immediately moved his internal Qi and completely wrapped the wound with it. By doing so, he intended to stop the bleeding and nourish his injury.
“d.a.m.ned.”
The moment Fang Qiu pulled out the arrow, his face became extremely gloomy, and he cursed loudly. Instantly, he leaped up and chased after the fleeing figure furiously.
Before him…
The killer, who had been flying away, looked back and saw John Doe chasing after him quickly. His face immediately changed dramatically.
He did well in lying in ambush and attacking instead of confronting the enemy head-on.
Not to mention that…
He fought with his bow and arrow. If John Doe caught up with him, he would be no match for him at all.
Here…
“Lingyin!”
Staring at the figure fleeing wildly before him, Fang Qiu bellowed, “You can’t escape!”
Before him…
The attacker narrowed his eyes, revealing a complicated expression.
They could do nothing about it.
His weapon was too easy to identify.
Fang Qiu had never seen him before. But after killing Thomas ranked second in the world, Fang Qiu secretly paid attention to the situation on the World Killer List. From many other aspects, he learned many things about Lingyin, the world’s top killer.
It was because Lingyin’s a.s.sa.s.sination methods were rather unique. He was the only killer in the world who used bows and arrows.
In this era of high technology, Lingyin made a name for himself with his bow and arrow and became the world-recognized king of killers.
He used bows and arrows because he was a Huaxianese.
Fang Qiu once thought that…
Ruan s.h.i.+ben, the general in Southern Yue, had sent someone to a.s.sa.s.sinate Fang Qiu. In his mind, Lingyin rejected his invitation, so Ruan s.h.i.+ben asked Thomas to do it. But this situation was like a smack in Fang Qiu’s face.
He had thought Huaxia people were united and were glad to help each other. In the face of foreign and external forces, they should work in unison and stand on the same side.
But he didn’t expect that…
Murica and Huaxia were competing against each other and striving for a decisive victory. So, Fang Qiu thought this Huaxianese was trustworthy. How could he a.s.sa.s.sinate him at this most critical moment?
“Why?”
Fang Qiu was furious.
“They were all Huaxianese. Why would Lingyin turn against him?”
Fang Qiu had a clear mind.
Lingyin was the best killer in the world, so he would never reveal any information even if Fang Qiu caught up with him and interrogated him. But Fang Qiu had already guessed it.
It was Murica.
It could only be Murica.
Why would Lingyin accept Murica’s employment?
No matter what the answer was, Fang Qiu was filled with righteous indignation!
“Swoos.h.!.+”
Full of anger, Fang Qiu lunged forward in an instant.
In less than a minute…
Fang Qiu caught up with Lingyin.
“My mission has failed. Why must you catch up with me?”
Knowing he couldn’t run away, Lingyin stopped running at a relatively flat place. He turned to stare at Fang Qiu and said, “My purpose is to kill you, but I can’t. My task is completed. If you let me go, I will never reappear in the world from today on.”
“Who sent you here?”
Fang Qiu asked.
“You have already known the answer, so why bother asking?”
Lingyin shook his head.
“Why would you work for them?”
Fang Qiu questioned angrily.
“You’re too young to understand it.”
Lingyin couldn’t help but smile. Shaking his head, he asked, “Why couldn’t I take the job from them?”
Fang Qiu’s face fell.
Lingyin was a Huaxianese. He didn’t expect him to say something like that.
But…
Pondering on it, he realized he had thought too highly of him. After all, Lingyin from Huaxia was not an ordinary person but a killer.
“Make your move.”
Fang Qiu said in a cold voice, “You are a Huaxianese. I’ll give you a chance to die with dignity!”
“Ridiculous.”
Lingyin shook his head with a sneer and said, “One of your arms is useless now. How could you fight with me?”
“Even with one hand, I can kill you with ease.”
Fang Qiu announced.
“Is that so?”
Lingyin took a deep breath, shook his head, and said, “I wanted to stop after this deal. Since you repeatedly force me to take action, don’t blame me!”
As he spoke…
“Boom!”
A burst of powerful energy Qi suddenly surged out of his body, spreading fast in all directions.
“Humph!”
Fang Qiu snorted and rushed straight up.
There…
Lingyin waved his right hand.
As he turned his wrist, the rosewood longbow in his hand triggered a hidden gear. It quickly rotated a few times and turned into a weapon similar to a stick.
This weapon was wrapped by close and fine bowstrings. Taking them as blades, he waved his hand and smashed them against Fang Qiu fiercely.
Fang Qiu’s hand grabbed in the air.
When he rushed and approached the man, the divine sword instantly materialized in his hand.
“Whiz!”
The sound of the sword rang out.
As Fang Qiu wielded his arm, the long sword cut down with extremely sharp energy Qi and violently collided with the weapon turned by the longbow in his hand.
“Clank!”
With a sudden vibrating sound…
Surprisingly, the divine sword in the hand of Fang Qiu was knocked back.
Crashed against the divine sword, the weapon Lingyin held remained intact. Even these close bowstrings were not cut off.
No wonder Lingyin would use this bow as a weapon…
The divine sword was knocked back, but the huge force Fang Qiu placed on the divine sword burst out and instantly sent Lingyin flying.
At this moment…
“Swoos.h.!.+”
As Lingyin was pushed back, he suddenly turned around and fled quickly into the distance without hesitation.
Without hesitating, Fang Qiu chased after him.
In an instant, he narrowed the distance between him and Lingyin.
“Don’t push me!”
Lingyin growled out a warning.
“You can’t escape!”
Fang Qiu said with a gloomy face.
When Lingyin heard it…
He abruptly turned around.
“You’re courting death!”
After a roar furious to the extreme, Lingyin aggressively let off a scary flow of Qi power much more robust than before.
From his Qi power…
Fang Qiu was surprised that Lingyin’s strength had reached the SS level!
“Flower Core Formation Realm?”
Fang Qiu’s face darkened.
Against all his expectations…
Lingyin turned out to be an expert in the Flower Core Formation Realm!
“You’ve been hiding your strength this entire time?”
Fang Qiu asked, raising his eyebrows.
“Don’t pressure me.”
Lingyin seemed to have become a changed person. His face full of anger, he stared at Fang Qiu and said, “You forced me to do this. Everyone knowing my real strength must die!”
With this…
With indomitable Qi power, he suddenly darted toward Fang Qiu. The strange weapon in his hand erupted a stream of domineering force, vehemently smas.h.i.+ng against Fang Qiu’s right hand.
It seemed that…
He was going to rain blows on Fang Qiu’s wound!
Opposite him…
“Just right.”
Fang Qiu took a deep breath and immediately waved his sword to resist.
“Clank, clank, clank…”
The sounds of violent collisions rang out.
Fang Qiu was accustomed to using his right hand but was also very familiar with his left hand. In fact, he was very proficient in utilizing his left hand.
After all, he used his left hand often.
In the fierce collision, the two of them exchanged hundreds of moves in less than three minutes!
But…
When they collided with each other…
Fang Qiu was surprised to find that Lingyin’s strength and speed had only increased to the early stage of the Flower Core Formation Realm. Seemingly, it was because he had just broken through to this state.
There…
Lingyin also noticed this.
Just as Fang Qiu had thought…
Indeed, he had just reached the Flower Core Formation Realm a year ago. In the past two years, he had not taken any job. That was why countless people waiting for him to solve problems couldn’t find him.
After the successful breakthrough, he spent over a year stabilizing his strength. During this period, he was utterly cut off from the outside world.
Now, because he had stabilized his power, he reappeared in the world, ready to retire after accomplis.h.i.+ng a big order.
But surprisingly…
He got a big order soon.
At first, he didn’t want to take the job because he didn’t want to attack any Huaxianese during this sensitive period. Therefore, he asked for a huge 5 billion-dollar reward from Murica. It was a prohibitive price for him, not to mention other killers in the killer circle. In his opinion, such a deal at the cost of 5 billion dollars was unacceptable for all.
To his great surprise, Murica accepted it.
More than that, they promptly agreed.
Even more surprising, they transferred 2.5 billion dollars to his bank card within 15 minutes after the call ended.
Since he had taken their money…
He had to do it. Otherwise, his reputation would be ruined entirely.
Helplessly…
He had no choice but to attack John Doe.
When he failed to shoot John Doe to death, he planned to leave. However, he didn’t expect John Doe to catch up with him.
He kept the strength of the Flower Core Formation Realm to save his life at critical moments.
But…
In the collision with John Doe, he found that John Doe was no weaker than him, even if he had lost one hand. Whether in terms of strength or speed, John Doe was better than him.
The more he fought, the more fl.u.s.tered he became.
He didn’t want to die. He had even prepared a way out: he bought a tract of land in the countryside and was building a house there.
He didn’t want to die. Never would he die here!
