Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Mysterious Woman Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Mysterious Woman “Sky Wings!”

Upon realizing that the person entering the Splendid Pill Tower was a Dark Night Assassin, Jing Yan’s first reaction was to activate “Sky Wings” and flee.

Now was definitely not the time to be overly ambitious and competitive.

If the opponent’s strength was comparable to his, or even slightly stronger, Jing Yan could still have fought and considered it a form of training for himself.

But the opponent was a Dao Spirit Realm assassin, how could he fight?

Facing such a powerful foe and still rushing forward to fight, wouldn’t that be acting recklessly and asking for death?

“Hmm?”

“Trying to escape?” The Dark Night Falcon had, of course, noticed Jing Yan.

He had already seen Jing Yan’s portrait, so he knew that the person trying to flee was his assassination target.

Having spotted the target, he naturally could not let him escape.

“Shi!” As a Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse and Dark Night assassin, fueled by Primordial Energy, he chased after Jing Yan with terrifying speed.

“Quick, quick, quick!” Feeling the terrifying intent to kill coming from behind, Jing Yan pushed his speed to the limit.

“You can’t escape!” the Falcon sneered.

He, as a Dark Night Gold Medal Killer and Dao Spirit Realm assassin, was now facing a target who was not even twenty years old and was merely at the Innate Realm.

If he couldn’t manage to prevent such a prey from escaping, he might as well end himself.

“Whoosh whoosh!”

Jing Yan reached the first floor of the Pill Tower in an instant from the fourth floor.

On the first floor of the Pill Tower, there were on-duty waitresses, but all they saw was a blur as if someone had passed by.

However, when they looked intently, they saw no one and thought it was just their eyes playing tricks on them, not truly believing that two people had just rushed out.

In an instant, Jing Yan had escaped to the streets outside.

“What do I do?”

“Now go and ask for help from the City Lord?

Definitely not feasible, I fear I’d be killed by the assassin before I even left the South District Market.

Asking for the City Lord’s help would definitely be too late.” As Jing Yan sprinted at high speed, he also thought of strategies.

“Die!” Falcon, with a low shout, unleashed a terrifying black Sword Light that streaked toward Jing Yan.

As an assassin, it was naturally better to keep a low profile when assassinating a target, ideally killing the quarry without them even noticing his presence.

But now, having already exposed himself to Jing Yan, he didn’t need to concern too much.

As long as he could kill Jing Yan and then leave swiftly, even if the Donglin City Lord wanted to find him, he would not be able to locate him.

“Moon Cutting Sword Technique!” Jing Yan turned around and from his red Skyfire Sword, a red light similarly surged forth.

“Pu!”

The Red Sword Light was instantly shattered upon contact with the Black Sword Light.

Jing Yan’s strength was far too inferior compared to a Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse.

He stood no chance against a Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse.

Even if he exerted all his strength, he could not withstand a single strike from a Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse.

“Boy, dying by the hands of this Gold Medal Assassin is an honor for you!” Falcon let out a sinister laugh, standing in place and watching as Jing Yan was about to die under his strike.

“Damn it!” Jing Yan was incredibly anxious.

“Boom!”

A loud boom resonated, and wild Primordial Energy swept through an area of hundred meters.

“Huh, not dead?” Jing Yan thought this would be his end, but just as the black Sword Light was about to reach him, another terrifying Qi Fluctuation surged from the side, shattering the black Sword Light.

Upon collision, the massive dispersing forces made Jing Yan retreat several meters, yet he indeed did not die or even sustain any injuries.

“Who is that…”

A figure in a white long dress stood not far to the side.

“Hmm?” The Dark Night Falcon had clearly not expected a martial artist to suddenly appear and disrupt his attack at a critical moment.

His eyes dark and frosty, he gazed toward the woman in the white dress.

“Who are you?” Falcon stared at her, his voice harsh and somber.

The woman in the white dress, her face covered with a veil, was unidentifiable.

However, her transcendent and otherworldly demeanor was enough to command respect.

Inside, Falcon felt a sense of apprehension, as until now, he had not noticed when the woman in the white dress appeared.

It was not until his attack on Jing Yan was thwarted by her that he finally noticed her standing not far away.

He was a Dark Night Gold Medal Killer, a Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse, yet he had failed to notice when the woman in the white dress had arrived nearby.

She was clearly not someone to be taken lightly.

Moreover, anyone who could so easily defeat his own strike must at least be a Dao Spirit Realm expert.

Before coming to Donglin City, Falcon had already learned about the Dao Spirit Realm experts of Donglin City.

In Donglin City, there were only four Dao Spirit Realm experts, namely City Lord Huo Chunyang, the president of the Extreme Combat Association, Family Head Zhao of the Zhao Family, and Grandma San Ying, who was associated with the Wen Family of Lanqu County City.

So who exactly was this woman in the white dress?

The four known Dao Spirit Realm experts he knew of clearly did not match the woman in white in front of him.

“Scram!” the woman in the white dress did not respond to Falcon’s question; she just spat out a word.

“Haha, do you know who I am?

You foiled my plan; have you ever thought about the terrifying retaliation you’d face?” As a Dark Night Gold Medal Assassin, Falcon was naturally not going to give up his mission easily, especially since he had not yet ascertained the identity of the woman in the white dress.

If he was scared off just like that, he would definitely become a laughingstock.

“Don’t scram, die!” the woman in the white dress seemed to cherish her words like gold.

Her voice was very pleasant to the ear, and based solely on her voice, she should be rather young, definitely not over thirty.

Of course, the age of female warriors in this world was hard to determine even from their appearances, let alone just from their voices.

Not only was Falcon puzzled by the identity of the woman in the white dress, but Jing Yan was also completely baffled.

He thought he was certainly doomed this time, only to have a woman in a white dress appear suddenly and rescue him from the hands of the Dark Night Assassin.

He scrutinized the woman in white, but ultimately, he still could not recognize who she was.

The only person Jing Yan could think of was Bai Xue, the City Lord of Duyang City, but the woman before him was clearly not the Bai Xue City Lord.

Even if she were wearing a veil, Jing Yan would definitely be able to recognize her.

Moreover, Bai Xue was the City Lord of Duyang City, so she couldn’t have come to Donglin City silently.

That meant the woman in white was someone Jing Yan had never met before.

But then, why would she rescue him if they did not know each other?

Hearing the words of the woman in the white dress, Falcon responded with anger yet laughed.

“Who do you think you are?

Don’t scram, die?

Haha, I want to see just how capable you are!” Although Falcon was cautious, he was not scared off by a mere sentence.

Even if she was a Dao Spirit Realm expert, it would not be easy for her to kill him.

“Shi!”

This time, the woman in white did not say anything more; she simply took action.

A white silk ribbon flew out from in front of her, and upon closer inspection, Jing Yan realized it was indeed a silk ribbon.

Seeing this scene left him somewhat dumbfounded.

He had seen many types of weapons, but he had never seen anyone use a silk ribbon as their weapon.

What power could a silk ribbon have?

Seeing the woman in white take action, Falcon naturally would not sit idly by; he also charged aggressively towards the woman in white, his black short sword thrusting fiercely.

Falcon was deeply cunning; even now, he had not given up on the idea of killing Jing Yan.

Ostensibly, he was charging at the woman in white, and his weapon was indeed swinging towards her, but unbeknownst to others, another black short sword had appeared in his other hand at some point.

This short sword thrust directly towards Jing Yan.

It had to be said, Falcon’s thoughts were profoundly sinister.

Outwardly, he was battling the woman in white, but in secret, he was launching a sneak attack on Jing Yan.

A Dao Spirit Realm expert attacking an Innate Realm martial artist under normal circumstances would certainly be despised, but as an assassin, completing his mission was their core objective.

Falcon sneered.

In his view, he had already closed within a few meters beside Jing Yan.

At such a distance, Jing Yan had no chance of dodging his attack.

On the other hand, if he could just block the woman in white’s attack for even the span of a breath, he would be successful and could kill Jing Yan.

Once he succeeded in killing Jing Yan, he would retreat immediately.

Even if the woman in white was stronger than him, it would be unlikely she could catch up to him.

His specialty was assassination, and the key to a successful assassination was speed.

Without sufficient speed, he, Falcon, wouldn’t know how many times he would have died.

Falcon was extremely confident in his own speed.

“What?”

But Falcon’s smile didn’t last even a breath’s time.

His Sword Light was directly blasted into pieces by the white silk ribbon.

Even his attack on Jing Yan was completely shattered.

In an instant, the white silk ribbon had completely enveloped his body.

“Puchi!” Falcon only managed to cry out “What” before his life force dissipated.

When the white silk ribbon was retracted from his body’s position, Falcon’s body had been reduced to nothingness.

In the air, only a strong scent of blood spread.

Jing Yan stared blankly at the scene before him.

A Dao Spirit Realm expert was killed outright like this?

Not even a corpse was left behind?

Let alone a corpse, it seemed even a bit of residue was hard to find.

Just what was the cultivation of this woman in white?

Even for Jing Yan, who had quite some experience now, he couldn’t help but be incredibly shocked.

The strength of the woman in white seemed a bit too terrifying!

“Where is she?”

When Jing Yan came back to his senses and went to look for the woman in white, he was shocked to discover that on that spot to the side, there was no trace of her at all.

The woman in white had left silently, without a trace.
