Chapter 87 87:Date[III]
On his chest, a large-caliber bullet was stuck, digging into his skin. It was large enough to create a gaping hole in his chest. However, due to his draconic body, it wasn\'t able to dig deep into his bones.
"Did I just have the taste of my own medicine?" Leon smacked his lips in annoyance, pulling out the bullet.
His skin and bones were tough, but he needed to use Qi to activate the real deal. Even without activating it, it was still hard enough to resist; otherwise, he might have died for real now.
Leon turned around, running in a circle. His eyes spotted the location of the sniper aiming at him.
"Caught you!"
[Nimbus step]
Swish!
Leon\'s figure accelerated, leaving behind an afterimage. Due to the open space, unrestrained by anything, Leon\'s body burst forth with terrifying speed. In just a span of a few moments, Leon covered a distance of around 100 meters.
Leon lunged into the air and glided, making him look as if he was flying.
The sniper who fired at Leon was shocked to see him come alive and screamed, "Why is his body so strong, as if it\'s made up of steel? Even the body-cultivator bodies aren\'t that outrageous."
He was about to fire again when the image of the target blurred, making it difficult to lock him down. It was so fast that the target almost disappeared before him abruptly.
As he searched around looking for the target, the vision of the scope suddenly became dark.
"Huh!"
The man, on moving back his eyes, froze, seeing a menacing smiley face right before his face. A monumental pressure suddenly bore down on him, and his grip on the rifle loosened.
"Are you looking for someone?" Leon asked with a sweet yet bone-chilling smile.
"He is here..." The man shouted in terror to signal his fellow mate while shifting his hand onto the waist to pull out a gun to shoot. But before he could do that, Leon\'s hands moved swiftly as fast as lightning.
Leon raised his sword and slashed down with terrifying pressure.
BOOM!
A trail of golden light cut through the place, extending far beyond the place, and the man\'s decapitated head shot up in the sky and rotated like blades of a motor before falling.
The Red Falcons, alerted, came there to help. Sadly, the sniper was already done for by the time they arrived.
Leon, without looking back, activated his Dragon Eyes.
SWOOSH!
An intense aura of mighty pressure descended upon everyone. A dark, gloomy atmosphere prevailed, and as their eyes darted into the darkness and fell on the figure, their hearts started hammering into their chests.
The remaining Red Falcons froze in their place, unable to draw their weapons. All of them felt as if they were in the presence of a superior being who had passed them a decree to stay as a statute.
Even a simple movement of breathing was quite vexing for them.
A thick puddle of murderous intent dyed the air in red. It was oddly suffocating and choked them, as if a pair of hands pressed on their neck.
"Since I know who is the one who ordered you to do this, there isn\'t any need to waste time on you anymore, right?" A maddening smile of bloodlust echoed, reflected in everyone\'s sight.
BOOOOOOOM!
The air before them exploded, and the ground pulverized as Leon unleashed Dragon Claw in all its glory. Destruction and chaos ensued as a huge three-claw mark cut through the air and everything before it, leaving behind a symbol of the terror that had spread around.
A trail of destruction blew away the remaining as Leon hit them with his killing blows.
Staring at the lifeless corpse of Grandmaster lying around in the open, Leon assessed that he could now fight against Martial Lord. Still, he might be a step below the villains.
\'I wonder what level they might have reached. Who knows if any of them managed to reach Martial Emperor at the age of 20 or have already reached that at a young age?\'
As Leon let drops of rain splatter on him, a large cry of a bird shook the place. As Leon turned around, he noticed a marvelous scene of a huge Phoenix emitting majestic rays of light, holding a snake-like thing.
"KAWWWWWWW!"
A soft, warm breeze rustled the winds, carrying whispers of an ancient legend. At the heart of the clearing, a radiant burst of golden light erupted, captivating the surroundings.
From within this luminous glow, fiery hues danced, weaving together like molten ribbons.
Sparks of crimson, gold, and amber intertwined, spiraling upwards in a mesmerizing ballet. The atmosphere crackled with energy, echoing the birth of a celestial spectacle.
Feathers of crimson and gold unfurled, each plume ablaze with an otherworldly luminescence. With a majestic sweep of wings, the phoenix emerged, its radiant presence casting a warm, celestial glow across the forest.
Leon felt mesmerized by the figure of the Phoenix, and his heart stirred with the thought of having the creature as a pet.
The Phoenix appeared for a brief moment and disappeared into the darkness. A few moments after, Sophia landed behind him, holding two figures.
Seeing Leon\'s eyes filled with awe, she asked with a smirk, "How was it?"
"Nothing like I have ever seen. It was beautiful, majestic, and it made one\'s heart flutter with warmth," Leon gave his honest opinion.
"You can see it anytime you want," Sophia spoke with a teasing and tantalizing smile.
Her wet dress attached to her body highlighted her curves, and her soft, silky hair drafting over her shoulder highlighted her charm.
"I am already satisfied seeing you like this. You are as beautiful as the celestial Phoenix," Leon spoke, walking towards Sophia.
Sophia, for a moment, was taken aback by the rare compliment and even wondered if this guy had taken the wrong medicine.
BEEP! BEEP!
Sophia paused and then pulled out her phone. As she scrolled, she burst out into laughter.
"Read a funny joke?" Leon tilted his head, seeing her laughing like this.
Sophia laughed aloud and showed him the phone screen, "I just saw your name on the bounty list and even received your assassin quest."
