" Ling Yi, you betrayed the organization. If you surrender, I might give you a quick death." Shan Rou pointed her short sword at Ling Yi and said coldly.
"Don't speak yet!" Ling Yi looked cautiously at the sky. Xiang Shaolong should be appearing soon.
Shan Rou's face suddenly turned cold. As an assassin, her greatest skill was seizing any opportunity to kill her target.
Although she didn't know why Ling Yi was looking up at the sky, Shan Rou would never let go of such an opportunity that was presented to her.
The two were not far apart to begin with, Shan Rou suddenly accelerated, arriving in front of Ling Yi in the blink of an eye, her dagger aimed straight for Ling Yi's throat.
But at that moment, Ling Yi dodged to the side, and with an extremely tricky angle, he flicked his short sword upwards, striking Shan Rou's throat first despite being behind.
Shan Rou was shocked. Such a move was truly beyond her expectations. She could only change the angle of her short sword halfway through the attack and forcefully change her move to deflect Ling Yi's short sword.
When her first attack failed, Shan Rou Rapid Speed took a few steps back, rubbing her neck with her fingers. A shallow bloodstain had already appeared on it. If she hadn't reacted in time, she would probably have died on the spot.
Looking at the bloodstains on her hands, Shan Rou's expression became extremely solemn.
"The leader is right; there is absolutely no room for luck in a life-or-death battle."
Ling Yi hadn't expected the Passive Counterattack Aura to be so powerful. He was also a little scared. Shan Rou was one of the female leads. It would be such a pity if he killed her like that.
"You are no match for me. This is merely a warning. If you wish to kill me, then let Cao Qiudao come here personally."
"Hmph, your skills are indeed strange and ingenious, but in the end, they are only strange. Besides, your head is worth twenty Silver. I, Shan Rou, am a person who would rather have money than life."
Shan Rou is not one to give up easily.
Since the Sneak Attack failed, let's kill Ling Yi openly and honestly.
Shan Rou wielded her short sword rapidly, making it impossible for Ling Yi to predict her attack trajectory.
No matter how she waved her hand, Ling Yi remained unmoved, as if he were either terrified or had given up resisting.
Shan Rou couldn't figure out what trick Ling Yi was using for a moment. After a while, she suddenly accelerated to Ling Yi's left, and at the same time, she slashed the dagger in her hand toward Ling Yi's throat.
But Ling Yi remained unmoved.
To be honest, Ling Yi was dumbfounded by this scene, and broke out in a cold sweat. If it weren't for his absolute trust in the halo, Ling Yi would probably have turned around and run away right now.
Shan Rou's move was indeed a feint; she suddenly retreated just as she was about to reach Ling Yi's throat. However, this move was one of Shan Rou's ultimate techniques.
The key is to appear real when you are feigning, and feigned when you are real. Her seemingly retreating body suddenly twisted and accelerated with an extremely strange way of exerting force. Her short sword, like Viper, stabbed towards Ling Yi's left rib gap.
If this sword were to strike, it could pierce the heart through the gap in the ribs, killing instantly.
But, at this very moment, Ling Yi.
"Bite!"
With a crisp sound, Shan Rou had no idea when Ling Yi's short sword had appeared in front of hers, just in time to block her thrust.
Ling Yi then turned to the side, using the force of his body rotation to deflect the short sword in Shan Rou's hand to one side, leaving Shan Rou wide open.
Before Shan Rou could react, Ling Yi's short sword tip was already pressed against her throat.
"I've already said it, you're no match for me. Either you leave, or I leave."
As he spoke, Ling Yi had already sheathed his sword, showing no intention of killing Shan Rou.
Shan Rou frowned and asked, "What kind of sword technique is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
"I created this myself, isn't it amazing? Don't even mention you, even if Cao Qiudao came in person, I could kill him with a single sword strike."
"Hmph!" Shan Rou didn't waste any words. Since she knew she was no match for him, she could only retreat for the time being and think of other methods later.
"I, Shan Rou, will remember this sword strike of yours today, and I will surely return it in kind one day."
After Shan Rou finished speaking, she quickly rushed out of the valley and disappeared into a forest in a few flashes.
Just then, a bloodcurdling scream echoed from the sky.
Ling Yi looked up and saw a black dot fall from the sky, instantly crashing into the grass not far from him.
"I hope this guy didn't die from the fall."
Li Ni took a few steps forward and squatted down next to Xiang Shaolong.
At this moment, Xiang Shaolong was face down. Ling Yi turned his body over and carefully checked him over. He seemed to be uninjured, but had simply fainted.
Ling Yi ripped off the Space-Time Jade Pendant from his waist, pulled out the pistol hidden in his waist, and sat cross-legged on the ground, waiting for Xiang Shaolong to wake up.
A dozen minutes later, when Xiang Shaolong opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the muzzle of a gun pointed directly at him.
This startled him, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the way the other person held the gun.
Ling Yi deliberately held the pistol upside down; he didn't want to reveal that he was also a transmigrator.
"Hey bro, could you give me my thing back? This thing is dangerous, you can't just play with it."
"What is this? You're talking about it so seriously, it must be something extraordinary." Although Ling Yi said this, he still threw the pistol to Xiang Shaolong.
At this moment, Xiang Shaolong saw the Space-Time Jade Pendant in Ling Yi's hand and became even Dawei nervous.
"Um..." He pointed to the Space-Time Jade Pendant, "This is very important to me, could you give it back to me too?"
At this moment, Xiang Shaolong had already released the safety of his pistol. The Space-Time Jade Pendant was extremely important to him; if the other party insisted on not giving it to him, he would have no choice but to kill them.
Will Ling Yi give it to him? Of course he will, but he can't just give it away so easily.
He needed to Intimidation Xiang Shaolong. If he couldn't completely subdue this guy, who knew if he would actually think he was an ancient person and try to fool him in all sorts of ways.
Although his current identity is that of an ancient person.
"This item is exquisitely crafted and must be quite valuable. Moreover, you are dressed in State of Qin attire, so your status must be extraordinary. If I kill you and present your head and this jade pendant to the Prince Zhao, I will surely receive a reward."
"Brother, you're going a bit too far. Isn't it a bit much to resort to violence all the time?"
"This is utterly ridiculous. This is State of Zhao territory, yet you're dressed like a State of Qin. Even if I don't make a move, you probably won't get far before being captured and killed by the Zhao people."
"This is the State of Zhao? This is a huge joke! Weren't we supposed to be near Xianyang?"
"Are you kidding me? Is this really the State of Zhao?"
"This is naturally the State of Zhao. About fifty li ahead lies Handan, the Handan of State of Zhao."
"Damn it, that doctor told me this thing can only be activated near Xianyang City."
As he spoke, Xiang Shaolong looked at Ling Yi again, "Brother, the jade pendant in your hand is very important to me, give it back to me..."
"Let me look into it first before I say anything."
"Then I'm sorry!" Xiang Shaolong said, raising his pistol and firing a shot into Ling Yi's arm.
but...
The instant he fired, Ling Yi, as if possessed, conjured up a short sword in the location of the bullet's impact.
"When!"
With a crisp sound, the short sword was broken in two, and Ling Yi used the force to retreat a few steps.
Ling Yi's expression remained calm, as if blocking the bullet was just a trivial matter.
"No way, it can even stop bullets?" Xiang Shaolong was completely dumbfounded.
"Snort!"
Ling Yi snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Xiang Shaolong stood there stunned for a long time before getting up and chasing after them.
"Brother, this jade pendant is really important to me; someone could die from it."
Ling Yi said calmly, "My name is Ling Yi. I'm an assassin. I just betrayed my organization. If you want to die, then continue following me."
"Handan, the Handan of State of Zhao, is just fifty li ahead. If the Zhao people discover you dressed as a Qin person, you'll likely be beheaded and given the reward."
Xiang Shaolong, with a bitter face, said, "Brother, give me back my jade pendant, and I'll leave right away."
Ling Yi pretended not to hear and continued walking forward.
Xiang Shaolong really wanted to shoot Ling Yi again, but he didn't dare to do it easily.
He was a former special forces soldier and knew very well how terrifying a person's reaction speed and Perception of danger must be to be able to stop a bullet.
If he really angers the other party, not only will he be unable to get the Space-Time Jade Pendant back, but he himself may also be completely doomed.
Let's follow along for now and find an opportunity to discuss it further.
Ling Yi rarely spoke during the journey. Xiang Shaolong tried several times to get information out of Ling Yi, but Ling Yi simply Ignore him, which made Xiang Shaolong even more frustrated.
After walking for about five or six miles, the two finally encountered someone's house.
This is an ordinary family living deep in the mountains Old Lin. The family consists of an elderly couple, both around fifty years old.
The elderly couple were very happy to meet strangers. Perhaps due to the long period of not communicating with people, their language systems had deteriorated significantly, and they used more gestures than words when speaking.
The two elderly people mainly ate wild fruits and various wild vegetables from the mountains.
He was wearing rough-made linen clothes that looked stiff and not warm at all. Ling Yi guessed that such clothes were not much more comfortable than wearing a cardboard suit.
It was already half dark, no longer a good time to travel.
Ling Yi remained silent; it was Xiang Shaolong who communicated with the two elderly people from beginning to end.
Xiang Shaolong successfully obtained a set of coarse linen clothes and a cup of bitter tea made from some unknown mixture of tree leaves and grass roots from the old man.
At this rate, who knows what weird stuff we'll end up eating for dinner.
So Ling Yi turned and left without a word, intending to try his luck outside and see if he could get some wild game.
At this moment, Ling Yi's weapon was reduced to a broken sword.
Ling Yi wasn't worried about his safety, since his Passive Counterattack Aura was effective against both people and animals. He was just worried about not encountering any wild animals.
However, the ancient wilderness was basically pristine, and there were many kinds of animals, but most of them would turn around and run away after seeing Ling Yi.
Ling Yi's eyes lit up when he encountered a large creature...
