Qin Shi: I went astray in the Heavenly Sect

Chapter 33 The Shocking Salamander, Clash

"Kill the people from Luo Wang, and then ask whether it was right or wrong?"

"Don't you find what you're saying ridiculous?"

A figure emerged from one side of the gate. The newcomer wore a snake-scale bodysuit that accentuated his impressive curves. His tight-fitting armor gleamed with a cold light, and his long legs were encased in signature black stockings, with heeled combat boots on his feet.

At the very top was a metal mask, revealing only the lines of the jawline, exquisitely sculpted as if by a knife. The only eye visible through the mask, however, resembled a poisoned ice blade, captivating and mesmerizing.

In her hand was a very peculiar sword, its scabbard, adorned with scale patterns, reflecting a chilling blue light.

"Lord Frightened Salamander!!"

As if they had seen a savior, the three people in the lobby spoke with unprecedented joy.

After carefully examining the newcomer, Chen Xiuyuan subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

Jing Ni, a top assassin in the Luo Wang organization, ranks first among the "Heavenly" class.

Although they had anticipated that they might meet, they didn't expect it to happen so soon.

"You dare to daydream in front of me??"

A dark shadow flashed by, and before the words were even finished, a sword blade pierced straight into Chen Xiuyuan's chest with incredible speed.

However, the next moment, Jing Ni was sent flying backward at an even faster speed. Chen Xiuyuan raised his hand and made a grasping motion in the air, as if he had grasped the heart of the three bandit leaders. The three men's eyes bulged, speechless. They finally knew how their men had died, but even if they knew, what use was it? In the end, they still couldn't escape their fate.

Jing Ni looked at the three people lying motionless on the ground, and a trace of fear appeared in her icy eyes, for the other party's methods were too strange.

"I admit that it is indeed remarkable to have such skills at such a young age, but you may not know what you are going to face?"

Jing Ni didn't seem to have any intention of giving up. She turned back again, her longsword already drawn.

"If I were you, I would turn around and walk away, instead of standing in front of my opponent and spouting nonsense like this."

Chen Xiuyuan looked at Jing Ni in front of him, the woman who wielded one of the Eight Swords of Yue, and his eyes were somewhat cold. She truly lived up to her reputation as the most mad sword in the Luo Wang.

Its previous sword master, in order to complete the mission, even volunteered to become the woman targeted, but in the end, she plunged the sword into the chest of the child's father.

"Do you think I should run away in front of you and this little girl who has no cultivation?"

Jingni's voice came over, her tone unchanged, and she didn't seem worried at all.

Xiaomeng's face darkened. She wasn't stupid; on the contrary, she was very clever. She could easily tell that the other party was planning to use her to threaten Chen Xiuyuan.

This was the first time she had ever hated a woman so much.

"Are you threatening me?"

What Xiaomeng could hear, Chen Xiuyuan could naturally hear as well.

"No, I'm just stating a fact."

Jingni's gaze swept over the last three people from Flying Tiger Village, and a chilling glint began to flash in her eyes.

"fact?"

Chen Xiuyuan looked at the unusually confident assassin in front of him and chuckled softly.

"Although I don't know how the Sword Master of Jingni was chosen, I'm very curious why it's a woman. If I remember correctly, the previous Sword Master of Jingni was also a woman."

The newcomer paused. Within the Net, the Sword Master's choices were all internal secrets. How did the other party obtain such information?
"Who are you??" Looking at the boy in front of her, Jing Ni's heart was unusually moved.

"We're both women, and both equally clueless. Did your previous smooth sailing make you lose your way and unable to distinguish the strength of the opposing forces?"

Jing Ni stood still, tightening her grip on the long sword in her hand. She seemed to be mocked by the young man before her, who was mocking her own overestimation of her abilities.

"What's the meaning??"

For assassins, the only measure of success is the success rate of their missions. To achieve their goals, they will stop at nothing and abandon everything.

With this sword in her hand, she has killed people stronger than herself. Those people eventually became her victims. Therefore, she never measures the success of something by the level of one's cultivation.

Chen Xiuyuan raised his eyes, his gaze becoming incredibly profound.

"After your surprise attack was repelled by me, you should have known that you had no chance."

As he spoke, a surge of internal energy filled the space before them.

A powerful aura suddenly appeared, like a raging sea, sweeping away everything in its path.

"Grandmaster Realm!!"

"How can this be!!"

Feeling that pressure, Jingni couldn't hide her surprise. She never imagined that this child, who looked only eleven or twelve years old, would have such an outrageous level of skill.

"This is a sign that heaven and earth have lost their color; you belong to the Taoist Heavenly Sect."

Xiaomeng stood to one side. When she heard Jingni mention the Grandmaster realm, her eyes flickered slightly. She had never been exposed to the division of realms in the martial arts world before, nor how the strength and level of a person were determined.

But now, she noticed that the woman opposite her seemed very surprised by Chen Xiuyuan's level of skill, as if Chen Xiuyuan possessed terrifying combat power that shouldn't belong to someone his age.

The sound abruptly stopped, and Jingni, who was standing still, was deprived of the ability to move, with only her eyes still able to move.

Watching the boy approach step by step, Jing Ni began to frantically urge her internal energy at all costs, even resorting to secret techniques in the end. However, faced with the Heavenly Sect's ultimate skill, all her efforts were in vain.

Then a terrifying thought surfaced in her mind: the opponent was not a Grandmaster, but someone above the Grandmaster level.

She has now reached the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm, and is only one step away from the Grandmaster Realm. The current leader of the Net is a Grandmaster. She has fought against him before, and she has never felt such despairing pressure from him.

At this thought, her eyes began to flash wildly. To have achieved so much at such a young age, her future was absolutely limitless. Even the legendary level of being able to fight against an entire country was no longer just empty talk.

The assassins of Luo Wang are subject to Luo Wang's control, but that doesn't mean they want to stay with Luo Wang for life.

Just like Hei Bai Xuan Jian and the previous Jing Ni, they are the most vivid and distinct representatives. People who walk in the darkness do not want to stay in the darkness forever. What they hope for most is to one day embrace the light.

"Indeed, beauty is a weapon for assassins."

As she felt the mask being removed from her face, Jingni suddenly felt a sense of panic. Her identity was a secret and could not be revealed to outsiders, otherwise her beauty would become a weapon.

Beneath the mask was a delicate, pretty face, with dark eyebrows like distant mountains shrouded in mist, fine beads of sweat on the tip of her nose, and slightly upturned lips, the color of which was even more alluring, like a half-ripe cherry soaked in plum wine.

It was a face that didn't exude any threat, and the panic in its eyes only made it more pitiful.

Xiaomeng, who was standing to the side, was also stunned when she saw Jingni's true face. She pouted and said sarcastically, "It's such a pity that this sister is an assassin. I think she would be better off as a courtesan."
