"It's the Ice Flame Hedgehog Spines!"
The assassin, at the Early-Stage Sixth Rank, was clearly well aware of the consequences of being stabbed.
He had no time to continue the call, and dared not be distracted for even a moment. He knew that even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit, so he quickly used all his skills to dodge away.
Jiang Fan was not surprised that the Early-Stage Sixth Rank assassin could dodge the attack, and continued to control the Ice Flame Hedgehog Spines to attack the opponent.
Actually, his purpose was not to attack. He was not the kind of arrogant person who thought he could kill Early-Stage Sixth Rank Martial Artist with his current strength.
His purpose in doing this was to control the other party's actions and not let them leave, because the other party knew about his status Advanced Psychic, and if he let them go unchecked, it would definitely leave behind future troubles.
That's why he returned earlier and blocked the other party's call.
In a newly built residential building, the fat man leaned against the wall, staring wide-eyed at Jiang Fan, who was using his Psychic Power to control the Ice Flame Hedgehog Spines.
It took me a long time to find my voice again.
But before speaking, he subconsciously swallowed.
This wasn't because he lacked mental fortitude or was shocked by the fact that Jiang Fan was Advanced Psychic; rather, it was because he had thought of something else.
The Advanced Psychic within the Zhou Family Secret Realm was regarded by the ancestor as the Holy Lord of the Church of Justice.
It wasn't just his imagination; he remembered the mouth under the mask—the pale lips, the lip lines, and the chin—it really looked like it!
" Brother Fan, you--"
"Don't speak yet, I don't have time to be distracted."
Jiang Fan's entire focus is now on dealing with the Early-Stage Sixth Rank assassin.
It'll be soon, very soon!
Within his Psychic Power range, Wei San was leading more than a dozen Divine Wind Guard toward him.
If we could just delay for another minute, we could catch up with the reinforcements.
He absolutely could not let the person go before that.
The Early-Stage Sixth Rank assassin initially couldn't understand why Jiang Fan and his group would return to their deaths when they had already escaped.
But he quickly realized that reinforcements must be arriving soon, which was why Jiang Fan had been controlling the Ice Flame Hedgehog Spines to prevent him from leaving.
Thinking of this, the Early-Stage Sixth Rank Martial Artist's blood and qi erupted to the extreme. He swung his sword and cut down the dozen or so Ice Flame Hedgehog Spines blocking his way, then ran forward for his life.
Jiang Fan intensified his manipulation of the Ice Flame Hedgehog Spines in an attempt to block the assassin's path, but these Ice Flame Hedgehog Spines were only taken from a Four Star Ice Flame Hedgehog, and their toughness and strength were still quite insufficient to deal with Early-Stage Sixth Rank Martial Artist.
No! He's about to escape!
We absolutely cannot let him leave!
The situation was urgent, and Jiang Fan couldn't worry about anything else.
With a flick of his wrist, the Spirit Weapon suddenly appeared in his hand.
"This is... this is the Spirit Weapon from the Zhou Family Secret Realm!"
The fat man was so shocked he almost bit his tongue.
Previously it was just speculation, but now he can be a thousand times certain that Jiang Fan is indeed the Advanced Psychic who appeared in the Zhou Family Secret Realm.
She was also the one that our ancestors would hold onto and never let go of!
"Hiss--"
The fat man's breath was so sharp it almost sucked the air out of the room.
He scrutinized Jiang Fan with an indescribable, complex, and strange look, wondering if Brother Fan could really be that person.
They don't look alike at all. Or is it that Brother Fan is the reincarnation of that person?
If that were the case, wouldn't Brother Fan be promoted to a super seniority, going from a brother to an ancestor?!
The more he thought about it, the more indescribable the expression on the fat man's face became.
Seeing that the Early-Stage Sixth Rank assassin was about to escape, Jiang Fan did not hesitate for a moment and jumped out of the window.
Releasing vital energy and activating the Spirit Weapon, a purple light flashed, runes flickered, and wisps of electricity coiled around the sword.
Without saying a word, he slashed at the Early-Stage Sixth Rank assassin.
" Spirit Weapon!"
The Early-Stage Sixth Rank assassin, taken aback, raised his weapon to block in front of him.
How does this kid possess Spirit Weapon? Just who is he...?
"Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing was particularly jarring.
The Early-Stage Sixth Rank assassin took two or three steps back, while Jiang Fan took more than ten steps back. Blood churned in his chest, but that was all; he was not seriously injured.
"Click click click--"
The Early-Stage Sixth Rank assassin, still reeling from the shock, heard the sound of his weapon about to shatter.
Looking down, he saw several obvious cracks suddenly appear on his alloy broadsword.
For this mission, the family specially provided him with a Class C alloy weapon.
He also said that if he could successfully kill the Crown Prince of the Pill Pavilion, he would reward him with this C-grade alloy weapon.
He was extremely excited about this.
It had only been used a few times when it was cleaved in two by the opponent's blade.
"Damn it!"
The Early-Stage Sixth Rank assassin gritted his teeth and glared at Jiang Fan. When he saw the Spirit Weapon in Jiang Fan's hand, a greedy look appeared in his eyes.
" Spirit Weapon! Haha! I'm going to have Spirit Weapon too!"
Jiang Fan's Spirit Weapon, the Early-Stage Sixth Rank killing technique, was determined to obtain it.
Knowing that reinforcements were about to arrive, the Early-Stage Sixth Rank assassin's face revealed a resolute and ruthless expression.
He forcibly broke off the fingers of his left hand, and suddenly let out a pig-like scream.
"Ahhh--"
This scene shocked Jiang Fan.
Before he could react, he saw the assassin rapidly form a hand seal with his right hand.
"It's the Heart-Shattering Seal!"
The fat man leaned out the window and shouted down, " Brother Fan, run! This is a forbidden technique of our Pill Pavilion, the Heart-Shattering Seal. He who shatters the heart first shatters himself!"
The saying goes, "The ten fingers are connected to the heart; to break someone's heart, you must first break your own."
"If this move hits, even Martial Artist one level higher than him will be severely injured and on the verge of death!"
Jiang Fan hadn't been careless to begin with, and with the fat man's reminder, he dared not hold back in the slightest.
The World-Shaking Meteoric Metal Body was suddenly unleashed, with golden patterns covering Jiang Fan's entire body.
" Jin Yi! Isn't that the World-Shaking Meteoric Metal Body that Jin Yi used before? How come Brother Fan knows it too?"
The fat man felt that he was being surprised one after another today, and there was no way to stop.
"Die! I'll keep the Spirit Weapon safe for you!"
After completing the hand seals, the Early-Stage Sixth Rank assassin curled his fingers and lunged at Jiang Fan's left chest.
The two were already close, so Jiang Fan wouldn't be foolish enough to dodge and give the other party an opportunity.
As he activated the World-Shaking Meteoric Metal Body, he maximized the power of his Spirit Weapon and simultaneously released all his Psychic Power to envelop Spirit Weapon.
He knew that doing this alone might not be enough, but he figured the time was about right.
"Hiss hiss hiss--"
The electric currents carried by the Spirit Weapon surged continuously across the assassin's claws, while his Psychic Power, forming a protective barrier, also assaulted every inch of the assassin's skin and every drop of blood.
In just a few breaths, the assassin's arm was covered with a dense network of blood-red cracks, and more and more of them appeared.
Compared to the assassin, Jiang Fan's situation was actually worse.
At this moment, his face was deathly pale, his throat tasted metallic, his internal organs were trembling, and he was gradually showing signs of weakness and decay.
If this continues, he'll definitely be the first one to give out!
