Chapter 322 Death of the Assassin

Chapter 322 Death of the Assassin
The picture remained still for five seconds, and Wuming's mood also froze for five seconds. Just when Wuming was so angry that he wanted to smash the computer, the picture suddenly returned to normal.

A huge red damage number suddenly floated up above his head.
-
597 (108 excess damage)!

System prompt: Your one-time magic weapon [Substitute Straw Man] has been triggered, you have lost the Substitute Straw Man, and you have recovered 100 health points.

I grass!

Wuming only felt a chill running down his spine, and at the same time, he felt relieved that he had escaped death.

Without any hesitation, he turned around and ran, using all his physical skills and lightness skills to the maximum, fleeing madly in the opposite direction of Xiao Jie.

While running, he shouted to YY: "Amao, use the relic quickly, let's retreat!"

This substitute straw man is a life-saving magic weapon that he bought for 300 taels of silver. It can only be used once. When the wearer suffers fatal injuries, it will be activated, replacing the user's death and restoring 100 health points for the user.

Wuming has been wearing this thing ever since he bought it, but he has never had the chance to use it. At one point he even thought that he would never have the chance to use it. After all, with his level and cautious nature, he would never go to that step.

It would be better to change it to a magical weapon with added attributes instead of taking up an accessory slot for nothing.

However, just in case, he still kept it on.
But unexpectedly, it came in handy today.

I just walked on the brink of life and death.

But this also made him feel even more frightened. If the screen froze for a few more seconds, wouldn't even the substitute straw man be useless?

What methods did this guy use? A hacker? A cheat? A hacker?
It can even freeze its own screen. Is there any reason for this?

This feeling is not a difference in strength, but a difference in dimension.

Moreover, the substitute straw man has now turned to ashes, and he will not be able to withstand another killing move.

At this moment, Wuming had only one thought in his mind - escape!
Fortunately, the fish that doesn't eat cats apparently received the order. Suddenly, a bell rang in the temple, and the surrounding scene was seen to quickly dissipate, returning to its original gloomy temple appearance.

Xiao Jie looked at Wuming who was fleeing frantically in front of him, and also noticed the changes around him. He looked in the direction of the bell tower. Sure enough, the fish that did not eat cats rang the bell again, and immediately flew out of the temple after ringing it. Daju followed closely behind and pounced after it.

Wuming also did a somersault and leaped out of the courtyard wall, but Xiao Jie wouldn't let him do that as his skill had just cooled down.

Meteor Soul Chaser Dart!
A beam of cold light shot out towards Wuming.
-
53!

The dart hit right on the thigh, but unfortunately the immunity effect of Wuji Jindan had not yet been eliminated. Although the dart hit the target, it did not have the effect of hitting the vital part.

Wuming had 47 drops of blood left and he did a somersault and flew directly out of the wall.

Ye Luo and others not far away also noticed the three people who suddenly appeared and rushed over quickly.

"Brother Feng, what's going on?" I shouted in surprise.

"Those two men are killers, chase them!" Xiao Jie said as he did a somersault and flew out. Qi Yu and a few others hurriedly followed him out.

As soon as Xiao Jie landed, he found that Wuming and the fish that didn't eat cats had run far away, and their speed was quite fast.

But if you want to get rid of yourself, that's too much.

Magic - Eagle Eye Technique!

His eyes flashed, turning into eagle-like pupils as he looked in the direction the two people were fleeing. The scenery in the distance was quickly zoomed in and magnified, as if two high-powered telescopes were installed. Two fast-moving figures in the wilderness in the distance suddenly came into view. Haha, I found you.

With a greeting, Xiao Jie led everyone to chase after them.

at the same time--

"Master, did you succeed?" The Fish that Doesn't Eat Cats asked as he flew side by side with Wuming, performing his Qinggong skills.

"I failed. Stop talking nonsense and run!" Wuming was a little embarrassed, but this was not the time to save face. The most important thing was to escape.

Fortunately, his lightness skill was very advanced, and as a thief, Yu who doesn't eat cats was also incredibly fast. The two of them ran wildly in the wilderness for more than ten minutes, and had already left the scope of the ancient battlefield and ran into a forest, then they stopped.

Wuming looked behind him and made sure that he had shaken off the pursuers, then he felt relieved.

"Huh, I'm finally safe." Looking at the health bar with only a few dozen points of health left, Wuming thought in shock.

He quickly took out a Life-Creating Pill and started eating it.

"Master, what happened?" The fish that doesn't eat cats asked thoughtfully as he looked at Wuming's slowly recovering health bar. Intentionally or unintentionally, he took a step back, as if he was looking for an angle.

Wuming didn't notice these things. He just escaped from the dead body, and he was just thankful. "That bastard is too strong, level 28... I think his strength is more than level 38. I can't kill him."

"So when are we going to do it again?"

"No more fighting. This guy has forced out all my life-saving methods."

"Ah, you didn't even have a single trump card left?"

"If I had another trump card, I wouldn't be in such a mess."

"Ah, in that case, I feel relieved."

Rest assured? A big question mark popped up in Wuming's mind. The next second, a sound of breaking air suddenly came from behind him.

Secret technique - Flying flowers, poisonous rain, and thousands of needles break!

Wuming turned around, his eyes bloodshot in an instant, and the fish that doesn't eat cats fired hundreds of poisonous needles with both hands.

In any case, he did not expect that the other party would suddenly attack at this time.

"wait for me……"

Puff puff puff!
Although he had just taken medicine to restore some of his health, the damage from a full wave of ultimate skills at such a close distance still caused his health bar to drop to the bottom in an instant.

Wuming almost instinctively pressed the shortcut key for the instant body technique, but then he remembered that he had already used that move.

In the blink of an eye, the screen turned blood red.

System prompt: You are dead.

Wuming's fingers were still pressing. There was silence in his ears, with only the sound of his fingers tapping on the keyboard. Finally, he recovered from his shock and anger and stopped tapping.

He grabbed the headphones with shaking hands and turned the volume up to full blast.

"Why?" he asked in a calm voice.

From the other end of YY came the equally calm voice of the fish that doesn't eat cats.

"Of course I do it for money. You've killed so many people. Haven't you ever thought that someone would put a bounty on you? Someone paid to kill you, and it's a large sum of money. So I'm sorry, Master."

"Impossible, we have been together for half a month, why would you want to do that..."

"This is what you taught me. You must have enough patience. As long as the time has not come, you must wait patiently for an hour, a day, a month, a year...

——Although I already know all this, thank you anyway. "

"Are you so sure you can kill me? I'm 12 levels higher than you!"

"This is what you taught me. Players are different from BOSSes. Their conditions will always fluctuate. No matter how powerful a player is, there will always be times when he reveals a flaw, and that is the time to take action - of course, I actually knew all this a long time ago." The other party kept saying that he knew it a long time ago, which was clearly implying that you are just a clown waving a sword in front of Guan Gong.

The implicit sarcasm made Wuming unable to hold back any longer and he started cursing.

"How dare you do that to me? I was so kind to take you on a mission, but you did that to me."

"You taught me this, don't develop any feelings for your target, just treat it as acting. This is the professionalism of an assassin - although I already knew this. Since you are my target, what are you complaining about, hehe."

That last chuckle finally exposed the other party's inner pride and excitement. Wuming felt like he almost vomited blood, and his eyes were almost spitting fire as he looked at the screen.

Fury, regret, unwillingness... or regret again. Wuming has always been a loner. This time, if the other party had not begged him, and he thought he was incomparable in strength and could have brought a newcomer to help and relieve his boredom, he would have teamed up with others.

I didn't expect that this slight slackness would cost me my life.

"who are you?"

"I was a first-level Star Picking Envoy in the Star Picking Tower. But thanks to you, I can finally become a second-level Star Picking Envoy."

Zhaixing Tower, one of the three major assassin organizations, has few members, but each of them is very powerful.

If Moyingtang is a nationwide chain of bathing centers, then Zhaixinglou is a high-end club that only caters to high-end customers.

The two organizations have their own strengths and generally do not have business conflicts, but occasionally, some clashes will occur.

Just like now.

Wuming wanted to say something else, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say. Should he call the other person a bitch?

Then the last bit of your dignity will also be gone.

Curse the other person to die a miserable death?

That's something only losers would do, it's meaningless.

To praise someone for being better than his teacher - I'm not that mean.

Threatening the other party that he would find her and kill her?
Oh...if only it were possible.

Wuming's expression changed from furious to desperate and fearful to defeated and dejected.

He hadn't figured out what to say yet, but the other party became impatient first.

"If everything is alright, then goodbye Wuming, I also - Fuck!" A scream came from the other end of the phone from Fish Who Doesn't Eat Cats. She usually maintained the image of an innocent and cute girl, and this scream of "Fuck" clearly meant that she had encountered something particularly bad.

"You..." Wuming was about to ask what happened, but YY hung up.

He looked at the scene of his own tragic death on the screen and collapsed weakly in the chair.

He has always believed that he controls death. Whenever he takes the life of another person with his own hands, especially those high-end players whose level and strength are not inferior to his, he has the illusion that he controls death in his hands.

As if transformed into a god of death.

But when death came to him, he realized that everyone is equal in the face of death.

What happened to that bitch who doesn’t eat cat fish?

I hope she dies too. Without my protection, I’ll show you how you bitch are going to die!
----

Impossible, how could they catch up?
The fish that doesn't eat cats looked at the three people who suddenly appeared around her with a look of shock.

The three men surrounded her from three sides.

Then I, Yuchengxian, followed. He was the slowest and ended up being the last.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I really missed a good show." Looking at the nameless corpse on the ground, Ye Luo said with a sneer.

Xiao Jie was also stunned. He took a look at the densely packed flying needles and poisonous stingers on the corpse, and then looked at the fish that didn't eat cats - he was indeed a ruthless person.

He even killed his own accomplices.

Is it for exploding equipment?
No, Wuming is a white name. When he dies, at most he will drop a few items from his backpack randomly. If he is lucky, at most he will get one piece of equipment... It shouldn't be a robbery.

"Ah, Brother Suifeng, you are finally here. Thank God I can finally tell the truth. I'm sorry, Brother Suifeng. I was actually forced to do it." The fish that doesn't eat cats suddenly said crying.

Ye Luo sneered, "Let me guess, you framed Sui Feng because you were threatened by this assassin, saying he would kill you if you didn't surrender? No, such a clumsy lie has too many loopholes - or maybe your relatives were captured by the assassin, so you had to do this? And when you saw that he was at low health, you killed him and took back your freedom."

"Yes, yes, that's it! Sister Ye Luo, you really understand me."

"I understand! Suifeng, kill her, she's acting again - chivalrous and righteous, don't think of being a hero saving the damsel in distress."

"Hehehe, I have no objection. I'm a hero, not a big boss. I'll just watch the fun. Brother Suifeng, you have to decide this matter yourself." Xiayi Wushuang just watched the fun from the side.

I wanted to become an immortal but felt a little uneasy and said, "Brother Feng, I don't think she is acting. What if she was really forced to do it?"

Xiao Jie sighed, he was still too young to become an immortal.

"You don't want to eat cats' fish, right? I think you'd better not waste your time. While I still have patience, give me a reason not to kill you."

"Hehe, well, it seems that I can't fool you after all." The voice of the fish that doesn't eat cats suddenly became calm.

"I'm sorry, handsome boy. I just lied to you." These words were obviously directed at me who wanted to become an immortal.

I want to become an immortal...

The fish that doesn’t eat cats continued: “I did accept a bounty mission, but the target is not you, but him.

Wuming killed the son of a big shot three months ago. The other party posted a reward of one thousand and two taels of silver in Zhaixing Tower, so I sneaked into the Ending Hall and acted for two months before I gained his trust.

My real target is him, and meeting you was just a coincidence. I thought it would take some effort, but I didn't expect you to be so strong that you beat him down directly.

I got a good deal.

Now that he is dead, I have helped you get rid of an enemy, so I think I have made up for my mistake. How about we say goodbye now?"

But Xiao Jie didn't buy it.

This person's words are probably half true and half false. He is true to use against Wuming, and he is also true to use against himself. He wants to make a profit of one thousand taels, so are five hundred taels too much?
Now that we have made an enemy, we naturally cannot let it go easily.

"Do you think I will let you go so easily? Since you almost killed me just now, what you said may be true, or it may not be, but it is not a reason not to kill you."

The fish that doesn't eat cats forced a laugh, "I see - how about this, don't you want to know the information about the person who put a bounty on you?"

"you know?"

"I'm from the Star Picking Tower. Our intelligence system is not comparable to that of third-rate organizations like the End Shadow Hall. We have detailed intelligence classifications for each player's guild in the game. In order to deal with Wuming, I specifically studied all the tasks he took, including the people who issued the tasks.

So I happen to know a little bit about the person who offered you a bounty—his name is Qiang Long Fan Shen. "
