The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 92: Chapter 92 Assassination Chapter 92: Chapter 92 Assassination On this day, under the cover of nightfall, Jing Yan left the Jing Family Mansion.

The reason he departed at night was to avoid drawing too much attention.

In less than an hour’s time, Jing Yan had exited Donglin City and began rushing across the wilderness.

“Hmm?”

“Something’s not right!

Could someone be following me?” Jing Yan’s heart shuddered slightly.

He had a kind of indescribable perception.

If it were an average Martial Artist, even those in the Early Innate or even Innate Middle Stage, they likely wouldn’t have noticed.

But Jing Yan, who cultivated the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill, had senses so acute it was terrifying.

Although the person tracking him was far away, he still had a kind of intuition, a feeling of danger.

Out on the wilderness, Jing Yan occasionally sped up, then slowed down.

However, that strange sensation persisted, and what’s more, Jing Yan was unable to determine the exact position of his tracker.

“What a frightening fellow, this is definitely not an ordinary Martial Artist!” Jing Yan’s thoughts stirred.

Because, even Martial Artists in the Innate Middle Stage or even Late Innate Realm would not be able to remain undetected under Jing Yan’s deliberate attention to such perfection.

“I really want to see who this mysterious bastard is!” Jing Yan’s mouth curled into a sinister smile.

Jing Yan’s confidence was not unfounded.

Even if the opponent was an Innate Strong Person much stronger than Jing Tianlong, Jing Yan wasn’t too worried.

This was because he possessed the Sky Wings Martial Art; in the event that he couldn’t defeat his opponent, he could still manage to escape, and he surmised that his pursuer would not be able to catch up with him.

Although still unclear about who the pursuer was, Jing Yan felt that the person wouldn’t be too fearsome of a power.

Because if the person was a Dao Spirit Realm power and bore him ill intent, they wouldn’t need to skulk in the shadows but would appear openly and could kill him in an instant.

As long as it wasn’t a Dao Spirit Realm power, Jing Yan had the power to protect himself!

Jing Yan gradually maintained a steady pace.

In the darkness of the night, a Night Owl clad in a black robe and wearing a black mask followed Jing Yan.

He was seeking an opportunity for a one-hit kill.

Since he took on this task, two days had passed, and he had been near the Jing Family Mansion for that period.

He needed to first understand the layout of the Jing Family Mansion, which areas housed the powerful Innate Martial Artists—he had to figure all this out.

Otherwise, even if he successfully infiltrated the Jing Family Mansion and killed Jing Yan, it would be hard to leave safely.

As an assassin with rich experience, Night Owl was not hasty.

His plan was actually to enter the Jing Family Mansion tonight and assassinate Jing Yan.

However, what he did not expect was that Jing Yan would leave the Jing Family Mansion.

This was clearly a better opportunity, so he followed Jing Yan all the way out of Donglin City.

Night Owl didn’t care about Jing Yan’s strength; he didn’t believe that a Half-step Innate Realm Martial Artist could compare to an Early Innate Realm Martial Artist.

Night Owl had seen many Martial Artists, like the stars in the sky, and within the entire Lanqu County, he had never seen a Half-step Innate comparable to an Innate.

Of course, even if Jing Yan truly had the strength of an Early Innate Realm, Night Owl didn’t care.

He had killed not ten Early Innate Realm Martial Artists, then at least seven or eight.

Moreover, he had successfully assassinated Innate Middle Stage Martial Artists.

Although he himself was only in the Early Innate Stage.

An excellent assassin, even when facing a prey within easy reach, needs enough patience.

So, Night Owl was not in a hurry.

After killing Jing Yan tonight, he could return to the Zhao Family to collect the remaining reward of fifty thousand Spirit Stones.

“Hmm?”

“The opportunity has come!” Night Owl’s pupils contracted as he drew a black Short Sword with lightning speed.

Primordial Energy accelerated its circulation.

Night Owl stimulated Primordial Energy using a special Magic Method, which could keep its fluctuations to a minimum.

In this way, it helped avoid alarming the prey with a sense of danger.

This was also the Magic Method that any qualified Assassin within the Dark Night Organization must master.

Then, his figure pounced towards the prey like a nimble cat.

“Die!” Night Owl silently mouthed the word in his heart.

He felt the black Short Sword in his hand had already touched the prey’s robes.

The next moment should be the splatter of fresh blood.

Night Owl had no fluctuation in his emotions; he had killed too many people.

For him, killing a person was like an ordinary person stepping on an ant.

“He’s finally made a move!” Jing Yan’s eyes flickered slightly.

“What quick movements!”

“Swoosh!” Suddenly, Primordial Energy burst forth from Jing Yan’s body, his feet changing positions rapidly.
Jing Yan felt a chill encroaching upon his chest.

This pursuer clearly had ample experience in killing, with movements devoid of any hesitation—each attack aimed to send Jing Yan to his death.

The piercing kill intent enveloped Jing Yan entirely.

The black Sword Light skirted by the front of Jing Yan’s chest.

It could be said that if Jing Yan’s evasive move had been a fraction slower, he would already be dead.

“Such a terrifying attack!” Jing Yan’s heart also chilled; he felt that even an Early Innate Martial Artist would likely have difficulty avoiding this lethal strike.

“Hmm?” Night Owl clearly hadn’t anticipated his strike would miss.

Even with his strong mental fortitude, he couldn’t help but become slightly distracted.

How could a strike he was sure would hit miss?

How could this Half-step Innate Realm Martial Artist dodge his fatal blow?

“Who are you?” After Jing Yan dodged the strike, he bellowed, his Flowing Light Sword moving as fast as thunder, wielding the power of the Moon Cutting Sword Technique, and swept towards the now-exposed Black-clothed Martial Artist.

“Boom!” Night Owl was indeed a fearsome opponent.

Even though he hadn’t expected Jing Yan to avoid the strike, he was able to adjust in the shortest time and spurred his Primordial Energy to strike back at Jing Yan.

The Martial Arts of the two collided, producing a dull sound.

“Such powerful Primordial Energy!”

“It really can be compared to an Early Innate Martial Artist!” Night Owl was once again shocked as he stared astonished at Jing Yan.

He could feel that Jing Yan’s realm was indeed not Innate.

However, the robustness of his Primordial Energy was unquestionably not any weaker than those in the Early Innate Realm.

“Sky Wings!” Jing Yan didn’t hesitate and activated the Sky Wings Martial Art.

After one direct confrontation, Jing Yan knew that this Martial Artist he was facing possessed Early Innate strength.

Moreover, this person’s combat experience was extremely rich.

Jing Yan’s best option was to exert his strength to the utmost, to kill the opponent in a short time.

Otherwise, he himself would face an even more dangerous crisis.

When Jing Yan exerted the Sky Wings Martial Art, his speed was astonishingly fast.
