The instant the second figure was sent flying backward.
Still giving no one any time to react.
Ling Zhan's figure vanished completely from where he stood, like a ghost.
"Where did he go!?"
The three powerhouses who had witnessed Dragon Fist Xier and Fire Sword Los being knocked away almost instinctively assumed defensive stances!
But once they had readied themselves, they discovered that the Freelancer they had looked down upon had completely vanished!
Not even his aura or a trace of him remained, as though he had never been here at all!
"Doro, behind you!"
Someone across from Shadow Blade Doro suddenly bellowed.
That single warning.
Made the hairs all over the body of this powerhouse, also a second-job assassin, stand on end instantly!
A terrifying sensation of death descending immediately flooded his mind!
He knew he had no time to turn around and look behind him!
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately leaned forward and took a step, hoping to use that brief displacement to evade the attack from behind!
But...
Would that work!?
"Ah!!"
A piercing scream suddenly exploded across the silent city wall!
Everyone watched in utter horror as the figure who had vanished earlier somehow appeared behind Doro!
And the exquisitely sharp black dagger in his hand had already pierced straight through Doro's neck!
Splash!!
After he pulled out the dagger, crimson blood erupted from the back of Doro's neck like a fountain!
Bright red blood splattered across the city wall, and the pungent, fishy stench unique to blood began to spread!
Thud!
Doro's tall, burly body went limp as though all its bones had been pulled out, then collapsed to the ground.
His eyes were wide, filled with terror, his face frozen in shock and despair.
Only the death throes of his muscles and joints
