His expression was one of uncertainty and suspicion; Jiang Chen's performance just now had truly given him a fright. To think that Jiang Chen could actually sense his presence!
It was only because Jiang Chen couldn't pinpoint his exact location that he had left in confusion.
Perhaps this is the ability of that Zombie martial soul, the youth thought to himself, following in the direction Jiang Chen had departed.
The target had appeared; it was time for him to make his move.
A six-year-old boy drowning in a river—this was the most normal occurrence imaginable. He believed no one would ever suspect it was a murder.
At this moment, Jiang Chen had stripped down completely and was submerged at the bottom of the river. The water was deep and teeming with fish, making it easy for him to catch them.
Just then, he faintly heard the sound of approaching footsteps, accompanied by the scent of a living person.
This presence was much more distinct than before. Jiang Chen knew someone was walking toward the riverbank.
The teenage assassin walked to the edge of the water, stopped beside the clothes Jiang Chen had left behind, and scanned his surroundings.
Jiang Chen looked up at the figure standing motionless on the surface, feeling a bit puzzled, and immediately poked his head out of the water.
He looked at the youth in confusion, only to find the other party staring at him with a strange gaze.
"Are you Jiang Chen?" The youth's voice was cold.
The youth looked down from above, expressionless, his cold voice sounding like an interrogation.
Jiang Chen frowned, displeased by the stranger's attitude. "I am Jiang Chen. Who are you?"
The youth's killing intent began to leak out as he stared at Jiang Chen. "I am the one who will send you to hell!"
Before Jiang Chen could react, the youth leaped, diving straight into the river and swimming rapidly toward him.
"What the hell, you lunatic!" Jiang Chen cursed loudly and turned to flee.
The icy killing intent radiating from the youth made it clear that this was no joke; he would be a fool not to run.
He felt completely bewildered. What kind of madness had seized this youth to make him want to kill a six-year-old child?
Though he had questions, in his panic, he had no time to dwell on them.
While he was a fast swimmer, the youth was faster. Propelled by the thick soul power within his body, the assassin caught up to Jiang Chen in the blink of an eye.
Being hunted for the first time, Jiang Chen couldn't help but panic. He could sense that the youth was extraordinary; beneath that killing intent lay formidable strength.
Suddenly, the youth caught up to Jiang Chen, locked his hands around Jiang Chen's body, and shoved him downward with force.
But the youth had clearly underestimated Jiang Chen's strength, and such carelessness would inevitably come at a price.
Struggling, Jiang Chen choked on a few mouthfuls of water, but he also realized that the youth's strength was actually inferior to his own.
He had to remember that his physical strength alone was nearly a thousand catties, and if he utilized his soul power, he could increase it by several hundred more.
In an instant, a brilliant light flared in Jiang Chen's eyes. His immense strength erupted, instantly breaking the youth's grip and pinning him down instead.
The teenage assassin was stunned, his mind filled with shock and confusion. He was held firmly against the riverbed by Jiang Chen, unable to break free!
The immense force pressing down from above filled him with endless horror. This kid was truly, damnably born with divine strength!
