Chapter 1258: The Beautiful Assassin
Chapter 1258: The Beautiful Assassin
November 21, 2017
In the Capital Military Camp within Chang'an City, a bizarre assassination attempt continued.
After those dozens of black-clad individuals had fired upon the young man's guards, they all suddenly froze.
The final target was right before their eyes, and they held in their hands an Exquisite-level powerful weapon. Yet, despite being able to take the young man's life with a simple pull of the trigger, not a single one of them dared to act at that moment.
This wasn't due to the fact that the black-clad individuals had mysteriously escaped unscathed during the previous volley of shots. Instead, as they all aimed their crossbow bolts at the young man, a powerful sense of crisis gripped each of them. In that instant, they all clearly felt that if they dared to make a move, they would surely die!
This feeling had no apparent source, yet it held them all in its grip. Large beads of sweat trickled down their faces, and their hands trembled uncontrollably. The situation before them had become so confusing that it was unclear who was ambushing whom.
"What's the matter? Still not making a move? Let me remind you, you don't have much time left!" The young man under siege revealed a sarcastic smile.
Hearing this, the black-clad individuals shuddered involuntarily. Several of them tried to muster the courage to fire, but in the end, none could bring themselves to pull the trigger.
"Since you won't act, I'm leaving!"
The young man's sarcastic smile deepened as he glanced mockingly at the black-clad individuals and then strode away.
Watching the young man's departing figure, each of the black-clad individuals' faces revealed a struggle. On the one hand, their training as death commandos told them that they should take action and shoot down the young man. Yet, the fear in their hearts prevented them from doing so.
This internal struggle continued until the young man had completely left their sight, and only then did these individuals finally feel a sense of relief.
"Let's go. That guy is not someone we can kill!"
The leader of the black-clad group heaved a sigh and prepared to leave. However, as he rose, an intensely cold killing intent enveloped them all, causing him and the dozens of black-clad individuals to freeze in their tracks.
"Leave? Do you think you can still escape?"
With these chilling words, a one-armed warrior appeared before them.
Under the shroud of this intense killing intent, the black-clad individuals' faces paled further as they beheld the figure of the one-armed warrior. They were well aware of his identity and knew that with his arrival, their fate was all but sealed.
Indeed, within a few minutes, all but the leader of the black-clad individuals, each holding an Exquisite-level weapon, were slain!
...
The events of the day seemed to be more eventful than expected. As the black-clad individuals were being cut down, on the other side, the young man...
After leaving the encirclement of the black-clad individuals, he hadn't walked far before his steps halted once more. This time, it wasn't because he had discovered something but because a dagger had appeared in his chest!
Behind the young man, a graceful figure in white had appeared, and the dagger embedded in the young man's chest was held in the figure's delicate hand.
With a successful strike, the graceful figure swiftly withdrew the dagger, and blood gushed forth, confirming that the young man had indeed been hit. After verifying the success of her attack, the graceful figure flickered and prepared to disappear.
"You're just leaving like this?" The young man's sarcastic voice suddenly rang out, causing the graceful figure who was about to depart to pause. She turned around, only to find that the young man who should have been collapsing was now standing there full of life and energy. Her bright, spirited eyes widened in shock.
The white-robed beauty's mental fortitude was evidently much stronger than those of the shadow assassins. After a moment of terror, she quickly regained her composure. With a swift movement, she reappeared behind the young man, raising her dagger for another vicious attack.
This time, the beauty's assault was far more ferocious than before, aiming directly at the young man's temple.
With a 'pfft' sound, the dagger in the beauty's hand slid into the young man's temple as if slicing through butter. After ensuring her success, she repeatedly struck the young man's head, fearing he might still be alive.
It wasn't until the young man's head was riddled with holes, blood and white matter oozing out, that the beauty was convinced he was dead. Only then did she retract her dagger and prepare to leave.
However, just as she was about to depart, a shocking scene unfolded before her. The holes in the young man's head healed completely in an instant.
"How brutal. Despite her stunning looks, her strikes are so ruthless."
The young man touched his temple, which had just been pierced, and smirked at the beauty before him.
The bizarre situation, the young man's sarcastic smile, and his icy gaze caused the beauty to stiffen. At that moment, she realized that this young man was beyond her ability to kill. After a brief moment of terror, she quickly composed herself and left.

"You're leaving already? But your mission isn't complete, is it?"
The beauty assassin ignored him, her figure vanished into the darkness.
As the beauty disappeared, the young man's smirk grew. In truth, if he so desired, the beauty assassin would have had no chance of escape. However, he decided that letting her go was better than capturing her.
Just as the young man's smirk widened, the sound of galloping horses approached. In a moment, Lu Bu, wielding the Heaven-Spanning Halberd, appeared before the young man. Seeing him covered in bloodstains, Lu Bu was startled, "Sir, what happened to you?"
"I just encountered another assassin, a rather peculiar one. Despite being an assassin, she wore a white robe and was a woman. She almost killed me!" The young man replied with narrowed eyes.
"A white-robed female assassin? Could it be her?" Lu Bu's mind flashed with an image of a celestial-like figure.
"Could it be Lu Hai Kong's doing?"
...
At the same time, within Chang'an City, the white-robed beauty assassin was rushing through the streets.
Despite her flight, she showed no signs of panic, moving with the grace and agility of a nocturnal sprite.
Unbeknownst to her, a celestial-like figure in white was silently trailing her, following her all the way to Wang Yun's manor before stopping...
