Chapter 219: Dumbfounded



He had been severely wounded and had greatly exhausted his physical strength. He had already consumed an entire bottle of azure jade dipper pills and was constantly refining its medicinal effect to restore his strength.

However, this approach could only solve his pressing need. The wound in his chest was too serious and it was impossible for it to heal in a short time.

But the longer the delay, the more dangerous it was for Lin Xun.

However, his opponent was an extremely experienced top assassin. He had to have patience and strength to kill such a person.

Lin Xun had neither time nor patience to deal with him.

Hu—

Suddenly, Lin Xun drew a deep breath and quietly hunched forward. But that subtle movement made him expose a ripple of power.

Boom!

An arrow shot out from the darkness like a flurry of snow.

A terrifying screech pierced the air, instantly capturing the soul.

Lin Xun’s figure flickered slightly and he instantly spun around and sped away. The eaves where he was originally sat under instantly shattered to powder.

“The northwest corner. It is still 1,900 feet away.”

Lin Xun made an accurate calculation in his mind. He didn’t pause the slightest and continued to flash through the rainstorm and darkness.

The opponent’s battle characteristic was obvious: stable!

Whether it was in stealth, speed or attack strength, it was all extraordinarily stable. His opponent didn’t show a single flaw from the beginning to end.

Undoubtedly, it was dangerous to be targeted by such an enemy. The opponent could grab onto the slightest carelessness and launch a fatal blow.

For example, when Lin Xun made the slight movement, he was certain that his opponent would attack and also maintain a distance of 1,900 feet!

Clearly, the opponent could display tremendous power even from such a distance.

If Lin Xun wasn’t injured, he was confident that he could deal with the opponent and test out who had the more powerful assassination technique. But now, he had to constantly dodge and flee while finding a chance to attack.

It couldn’t be helped. He could only activate the No Nonsense Bow once more with his current strength.

In other words, Lin Xun only had one chance to kill his opponent that night!

If he failed, he would completely lose the power to counterattack!

……

While Lin Xun was evading the attacks, a figure was navigating forward in the darkness. It silently wove through the streets, alleys and eaves like a ghost. It wasn’t particularly fast but it moved at a steady pace.

The figure was Remnant Snow, a top assassin from Rain Listener House and a powerful Heaven Dipper cultivator.

Remnant Snow was crowned the ace assassin of Rain Listener House because he had never failed a single assassination mission!

He had a strange rattan bow strung across his back and had a quiver the thickness of a bowl. Several arrows were stacked neatly inside the quiver.

Each one of the arrows glowed dark green all over its body. The arrow tips had a leaf-like shape and the bodies were adorned with specks of snow-white stars. The arrows seemed extremely bizarre.

The rattan bow was called the Snowy Mud Bow, a top human-grade aeth tool personally made by a rune master. It was an extremely rare and precious treasure that had been passed down for hundreds of years.

It was matched with arrows called Swan Claw Swift Arrows, and each one was engraved with a unique rune pattern and contained terrifying power. Such arrows were worth around five hundred silver coins each!

Given Remnant Snow’s strength and archery skills, he could no doubt display unimaginable power with the bow and arrows!

However, Remnant Snow couldn’t help but wrinkle his brows as he carried out the mission. His opponent was a Human Dipper youngster yet his strength had far exceeded his expectation.

It was his fourth attack that night yet he still hadn’t managed to kill his opponent. He couldn’t help but feel grave.

Remnant Snow came to realize that the youngster called Lin Xun was indeed extraordinary. Even if he had been constantly pursuing Lin Xun and launching attacks, Lin Xun still managed to dodge without exposing any weakness.

However, Remnant Snow was most surprised that Lin Xun managed to escape every time he locked onto him. He couldn’t find a good time to attack.

Unbelievable!

It was the first time that Remnant Snow met such a difficult opponent ever since he began his assassin career. The most terrifying thing was that his opponent was a wounded teenager at the Human Dipper Stage. Even so, his opponent had managed to evade his attacks again and again.

The series of discoveries made Remnant Snow feel a hint of admiration in his heart. He couldn't imagine where the youngster came from or why he knew such remarkable fighting means.

However, this only made Remnant Snow more determined to kill Lin Xun. Although he had no grudge against Lin Xun, he was a top assassin and his job was to complete the mission to kill Lin Xun!

This was the basic conduct that an assassin should have.

Huh?

Suddenly, a cold light flashed across Remnant Snow’s eyes as he noticed that his opponent had gone into hiding once again.

Shua!

With a flash, he went into the best hiding spot, grabbed the Snowy Mud Bow and attached a Swan Claw Swift Arrow on the bowstring.

His series of movements was effortless, smooth and completed in one motion!

Almost at the same time, a wisp of danger made Remnant Snow narrow his eyes. He knew his opponent was trying to capture his presence.

His lips curved in a ruminative smile. Has the little guy finally lost his patience?

Remnant Snow quietly applied force to his fingertips and drew the bowstring back, ready for action. He had absolute confidence that he would be the first to strike before his opponent!

However, Remnant Snow frowned because he found that the opponent had quickly concealed his qi and the wisp of danger had vanished. He must be trying to flee again.

“If you hesitate you could lose your life…” Remnant Snow muttered and was about to give chase when he noticed an almost imperceptible ripple of aura from his opponent’s perfectly concealed body 1,900 feet away.

An opportunity!

With his years of assassination experience, Remnant Snow immediately figured out that an accident had happened on his opponent’s side. It’s very likely he has exhausted his physical strength.

It definitely isn’t a means to lure me over because no one would be stupid enough to expose their aura to lure the enemy since that would be no different to throwing away his life.

Bang!

Remnant Snow quickly made a decision. A Swan Claw Swift Arrow suddenly shot out like a bright rainbow, releasing blinding light as it streaked across the rainy night.

……

Lin Xun indeed had an accident, and the accident caught him off guard.

He was hiding and looking for an opportunity to fight back, but who would have thought that his right hand would suddenly quiver.

Although it was only a slight shake, it could be fatal at such a critical moment. Lin Xun couldn’t help but narrow his eyes and cry out ‘bad’.

He subconsciously was about to move away when another incident happened. A beam of fiery red light burst forth from the palm of his right hand and transformed into a round and soft ball. Flames seemed to be blazing around its surface.

A pair of huge, round eyes popped up on the surface of the sphere, a round nose protruded out and a round mouth and ears appeared.

Jiujiu!

Lin Xun’s eyes widened in astonishment. He had never thought that Jiujiu, who had been sleeping for months, would awaken at such a critical moment!

Lin Xun’s heart violently pounded. An icy-cold feeling enveloped him and all his hair stood on end.

He saw a ray of light growing rapidly.

Heavens!

Lin Xun’s face turned ashen. He instinctively reached out to hold Jiujiu in his arms and shield it with his body.

Jiujiu—

It was at that critical juncture that Jiujiu chirped out loud and leaped up. It opened its mouth wide and swallowed the ray of bright light in one mouthful.

Lin Xun stared dumbfounded at the sight…

Jiujiu actually helped me block the attack?

Lin Xun shuddered inwardly, but before he could react, he saw Jiujiu bounce up and down the ground like a ball. It chirped continuously like it found it very fun.

This…

Lin Xun was dumbfounded.

What amazing power! Jiujiu actually swallowed such a deadly arrow without any effort!

And Jiujiu still looks very happy…

Immediately, Lin Xun snapped out of the shock and drew the No Nonsense Bow. He was aiming at a certain place in the distance.

It was the best time to counterattack!

At a place 1,900 feet away, Remnant Snow was already preparing to leave because he was confident that Lin Xun had no chance of surviving that arrow.

Who would have thought that a ball-like monster would swallow one of his Swan Claw Swift Arrows at the most critical juncture?

It was a weapon worth 500 silver coins. All his essence and qi were instilled into that arrow and it was fired from the Snowy Mud Bow. The arrow was incredibly powerful and could take the lives of Heaven Dipper cultivators, yet a little ball had managed to swallow it in one mouthful!

How is that possible?!

Even if Remnant Snow had a steady rock-like state of mind, his emotions roiled uncontrollably and his eyes went wide like he had just seen a ghost.

It was such a sudden change that he couldn’t help but wonder whether the heavens were playing a joke on him!

While Remnant Snow was dazed, a feeling of fear gripped him. His body stiffened and his expression dramatically changed. He couldn't help but cry out ‘this is bad’!
