Chapter 230: An Intense Battle

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

He was able to feel the thick murderous intent washing over him in no time. Ling Yun trembled in fear. The look on his face had never been as heavy as this.

This feeling of danger was unlike any other. It was different from what Du Gumo used to oppress people as well. It was the smell of pure danger!

There is only one murderous master who is so ruthless. Only when he is about to kill can this smell of danger be noticed!

Ling Yun could already feel the danger filling up the air. This killer was definitely way stronger than Xuan Qi and Xuan Jiu combined!

Ling Yun thought about turning back, but his legs did not stop as though there was nothing wrong at all.

Ling Yun changed his pace a few times to lose his pursuer. But no matter how he tried to rid of it, the aura was completely locked down on him and surrounded him totally.

“This man’s skills are definitely way above mine!” Ling Yun concluded after testing out a while.

“I have to outwit him!”

The person tailing Ling Yun was from the International Assassins Group. He had almost reached the pinnacle of Houtian Level Six. He was Deepa!

In fact, Deepa had long been tailing Ling Yun ever since he and Cao Shanshan had left school. But he did not expose his strength nor his aura before because there was someone else other than Ling Yun.

The night was still young, and there were too many people on the streets. If he were to make his move then, he would have caused an endless amount of trouble.

As always, regardless of which path was taken, exposing powers in front of secular people was forbidden. This was the unspoken rule of any practitioner of Traditional Arts.

Assassin was a profession that specialised in killing others. Naturally, they followed the evil spirits, which was why they adhered to the same unspoken rule as well!

Otherwise, based on Deepa’s confidence or even on Xuan Qi and Xuan Jiu’s confidence in their own skills, they could have simply stepped into Qingshui High and killed Ling Yun in his own classroom.

So, if Ling Yun did not slow down, Deepa would not be able to take action!

Ling Yun was now galloping alone. It was after midnight. The streets were scarce and there were no pedestrians. It was the best time to take Ling Yun’s life!

From wherever Deepa had sourced his information from, he analysed Ling Yun’s strengths. He concluded that Ling Yun’s current skill level had not yet reached Houtian Strength Level Five, while he himself was near the pinnacle of Houtian Strength Level Six. He concluded that he could deal with him easily. Thus, he was in no rush to kill him, like a cat playing with its food.

He had a one hundred percent chance of killing him. Ling Yun did not even know where he was! Or rather, Ling Yun did not even know he was being tailed!

Deepa had an ultimate skill of stealth tracing. Coupled with his Qinggong techniques, tailing Ling Yun was simply a stroll in the park.

He laughed when he noticed Ling Yun stopping by at a small alley to urinate.

Little Kid, it sure does feel good having so many girls beside you, doesn’t it? Sadly, today’s your death day!

Killing Ling Yun would reward him forty percent of the fifty million bounty. Twenty million RMB!

Deepa was dressed completely in black with a black mask to top it off to better blend into the darkness. He was holding a handgun equipped with a silencer in his left hand and his favourite long snake whip in his right. His eyes sharpened as he locked onto Ling Yun, who was two hundred metres away. He sneered.

Ling Yun was definitely not urinating there so foolishly. He was merely pretending to do so while actually checking the weapon he was carrying.

Ling Yun stealthily took out his Magic Brush and shook it hard. Then, he buffed his Dayan Great Stars Technique to the max and made a few strokes on his hand with the Magic Brush.

The Magic Brush did not disappoint. Ling Yun’s hand was now invulnerable. It was now the same as when he had plundered Xuan Jiu’s Thorn Trident using his bare hands with no effort all. The tip of the Magic Brush crossed his palm, and blood rushed out.

But, Ling Yun did not feel any pain at all. Instead, he smiled. He pocketed his Magic Brush and gently rubbed the leather bag with his hand. He revealed himself, then ran off in the direction of Shichiyou Herb.

Since he was not able to test out the strength of the other party, Ling Yun decided to give up and pretended as if nothing had happened. He soon arrived at the river.

He leaped across the eight-meter wide river and ended up just a few feet away from Shichiyou Herb.

Ling Yun took advantage of the fact that his opponent had yet to appear and hurried to the Shichiyou Herb.

In the past few days, the Shichiyou Herb had grown much larger than when Ling Yun had first seen it. Its spiritual energy was much richer and more powerful as well. Ling Yun deliberately inhaled and exhaled around seven or eight times. It filled up his inner spiritual energy and maximized his condition.

Meanwhile, the thickening air of danger was closing in on him. Ling Yun breathlessly waited for the moment the enemy would appear.

Suddenly, Ling Yun maxed out his Phantom Ichthyosaur Step technique to the limit, and a figure appeared, standing three metres tall!

Without any gunshot sound, a bullet shot past where Ling Yun was standing initially. If he had not moved, his heart would have been pierced!

“Lad, you actually spotted me. No wonder Xuan Qi and Xuan Jiu died to your hands. You sure have some tricks up your sleeves!”

Deepa held onto his silencer and appeared from the shadows. He took just three leaps and covered a hundred metres. He landed in front of Ling Yun.

“Heh.” Ling Yun smirked. “If I couldn’t even pull off this trick, wouldn’t it be a pity for the victims of the Godly Slayers Organization?”

Ling Yun was full of confidence. Deepa was a little puzzled why Ling Yun was not escaping despite being hunted down. He admired Ling Yun’s calm composure.

“At the age of eighteen, you dodged my shot and are at Houtian Strength Level Five. You’re pretty gifted amongst practitioners of Traditional Arts!”

Deepa praised Ling Yun. But he quickly changed his tone. “But, your life ends here. Next year today will be your death anniversary!”

Before he had even finished, Deepa burst forward with a dagger in his left hand. He aimed at Ling Yun and struck like lightning.

At the same time, Deepa brandished the long whip in his right hand. It whipped in an uncontrollable manner and headed towards Ling Yun’s waist!

Deepa had already decided from the very beginning to confront and slay him without holding back one bit!

Although it was just a simple dagger, it had several other uses as well. It was ruthlessly sharp and difficult to block. Ling Yun could not go head to head with it. He could only step back!

But at that moment, if Ling Yun stepped back, he would definitely get hit by the long whip!

Ling Yun clashed head to head, his right fist throwing out the Dayan Great Stars Technique punch. It was met with Deepa’s dagger!

Ling Yun fell backwards with the impact.

This time, the Long Whip was closing in on him. Ling Yun had no time to think! He pranced away, then took a Phantom Ichthyosaur Step. He dodged it like a fish in water!

Deepa was very confident in his Yinggong and Qinggong, but Ling Yun had actually avoided his moves, stealing away his bragging rights with his dodging. “Little one, I will not give you any more chances!”

He shook his right hand as he spoke. The Long Whip charged towards Ling Yun. Loud whipping sounds could be heard!

Ling Yun could not be bothered to reply to Deepa. Deeply focused, he was rapidly breathing in the spiritual energy from the Shichiyou Herb while making Phantom Ichthyosaur Steps to avoid the long whip. However, he still was occasionally struck by the whip, leaving scars on his body.

Deepa was going all out to kill. Ling Yun was crazily dodging everything!

This was a decisive battle that could change any moment. Ling Yun decided to risk revealing the Shichiyou Herb and fight on because he knew that Deepa’s skills were definitely out of his league.

He was dodging all the while. He had yet to make his move!

It was different from the Thousand Miles Godly Steps. The Phantom Ichthyosaur Step expended spiritual energy. Ling Yun could only make twenty of those steps with the amount of spiritual energy in his body in this state!

The reason why Ling Yun could last so long was because of the Shichiyou Herb! With it, his spiritual energy would constantly be replenished as though he had an infinite amount!

Ling Yun wanted to tire Deepa to death!

And why did Deepa decided to go all out? Because he was an assassin! Assassins did not battle each other for fun or to determine who was better. They had a mission: a mission to kill!

Even if Deepa were to kill an ordinary person, he would still have do his best and immediately eliminate them!

But this time, he definitely miscalculated. They had already exchanged over a hundred moves between the both of them. No matter how threatening the whip was, it never managed to tie him down. It only scraped the surface of Ling Yun’s skin.

The fight gradually began to turn in Ling Yun’s favor. As they continued exchanging moves, Deepa was getting a little exhausted, but Ling Yun was still well alive and jumping around!

Well, Ling Yun was definitely bruised as well. His arms, waist, and thighs were hit by Deepa’s whip a couple of times, and his new shirt was decorated with many holes like a dirty old rag.

The two fought on for five minutes under the night sky. Then, Ling Yun drew out his Magic Brush.

“Heh, seems like it’s my turn now!”

Ling Yun stared at Deepa who was bending over seven metres away, breathing heavily. He wrote something with the Magic Brush and smirked.
