Chapter 217 Rainy Night Massacre

Chang Henshuis heart trembled and he snapped awake.

Only then did he realize that he had made a huge mistake. Even if Lin Xun and Master Xun were somehow connected, as a cultivator of the Jadelight Pavilion, how could he show mercy to the enemy?

In truth, Chang Henshui also knew that the real reason he was hesitant to act was that he had already subconsciously given up on dealing with Lin Xun.

Otherwise, even if Lin Xun reported the name of a figure more powerful than Master Xun, he wouldnt have wavered like he did.

Shua!

Chang Henshui didnt hesitate anymore. With a resolute expression, he swung the violet spear up and charged towards Lin Xun in the distance.

The power and might of an Earth Dipper cultivator was obviously completely different. Lin Xun felt a chill run down his spine. Without the slightest hesitation, he leaned forward and fiercely brought his blade down at the spear. Taking advantage of the rebounding force, he sped towards a cultivator on the other side.

The cultivators head was instantly slashed off with a muffled noise.

At that moment, Chang Henshui launched an attack. His violet spear danced wildly in the air like an angry python. Its shadow flickered with terrifying power.

Kill him! Kill Him! Qi Tianxing repeatedly roared.

The horrible stench of blood pervaded the hall. Only around five major forces representatives were remaining, and the loss would have been greater if Chang Henshui hadnt acted in time.

You decided to be an enemy of mine? Lin Xun swung his blade and fought Chang Henshui while transmitting a voice message.

He could tell that Chang Henshui didnt want to be his enemy from his little test and so he didnt immediately launch a killing move.

Those paid by the king have to serve the king. Since I work for Jadelight Pavilion, how can I watch you act with murderous intent in front of me?

Chang Henshuis face bore a look of determination and his every move was merciless. He displayed the power of the Earth Dipper Stage to its fullest and brought considerable pressure to Lin Xun.

In that case, dont blame me for not giving you a chance.

The last trace of hesitation faded from Lin Xuns heart, and a resolute glint flashed in his dark eyes like lightning. There was no longer a ripple of emotion on his face as he knew that he could fall into a dangerous situation if he didnt quickly get rid of Cang Henshui.

However, just when Lin Xun was about to perform the Star-Gather, his eyelids twitched and a sense of danger rose in his heart. Unhesitatingly, he darted into the distance.

Almost at the same time, an extremely sharp whistle pierced the air like it was a piece of cloth and a magnificent arrow shot through the side window of the main hall like a rainbow.

With a boom, a hole was blasted into the ground where Lin Xun was standing and the entire Tide View Pavilion was violently quaking.

Chang Henshuis expression suddenly changed. What a terrifying arrow!

Qi Tianxing and other major force representatives were stunned for a moment before their faces lit up with joy. Reinforcements are here! Reinforcements are here!

However, when they turned to look at Lin Xun, they found that he had already vanished from the hall. It was unknown where he had gone.

Damn it! He managed to escape!

Qi Tianxing was so furious that his eyes were almost splitting apart. He pointed at Chang Henshui and fumed, Chang Henshui! You dared to perform badly and allowed Lin Xun to act wildly here. Just you wait! You will pay for this!

Chang Henshui narrowed his eyes as murderous rage uncontrollably rushed up his heart. He hated the fact that he couldnt immediately kill Qi Tianxing, the scoundrel young master.

However, he forcibly suppressed his anger and snorted coldly, Young Master Qi, if it wasnt for me, you would be dead already!

Then, he turned away and left.

Qi Tianxing quivered with fury as he roared, You, you, you...you are a lackey. You not only wont apologize but you dare to talk to me in that way. This is outrageous!

Young Master Qi, what that friend said is right. Listen to my advice, take your people and quickly leave. We didnt come here to save you.

Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded outside the window of the main hall.

Huh?

Qi Tianxing and the few remaining representatives frowned. Reinforcements arent here?

Qi Tianxing summoned up the courage to ask, Who are you then?

Rain Listener House.

The hoarse voice sounded again outside the window before it disappeared completely.

Rain Listener House!

Qi Tianxing and the others shuddered inwardly. They actually took action!

On the street, the rainstorm battered the world like a waterfall and the night was as deep and dark as ink. Occasionally, flashes of lightning tore the space apart and released a stunning flash of light.

Ghost Moon walked along the street, exposing her slender and graceful body to the torrential rain. She looked indescribably comfortable like she was strolling in the rain.

She was an assassin of Rain Listener House. She had carried out hundreds of missions over the years and had only failed a handful of times. She was known as the most dangerous assassin in Rain Listener House.

Suddenly, she came to a still on the street and scanned the rows upon rows of buildings in the distance. Then, a coquettish smile curved her scarlet lips. My friend, hiding doesnt solve the problem. Why dont you come out and fight?

The voice was as melodious and pleasant as a birds singing.

The rain pounded the ground, and there was no other noise apart from the torrential rain.

However, Ghost Moon seemed very patient. She continued to stand there with her eyes fixed in the same direction. You cant escape. This area had already been sealed. I can give you a fair fighting chance. If you dont cherish this opportunity, then I can only

Before she finished, a chuckle rang from a house enveloped in torrential rain. Dont talk to me about fair. Do you think youre worthy?

The corners of Ghost Moons scarlet lips curled upwards in the most bewitching and coquettish smile. Friend, you are exposed.

Shua!

In an instant, she flashed towards the other side, leaving countless blurred images behind her.

However, just as she was halfway, her pupils enlarged like she saw something terrifying and her charming face changed dramatically.

Swoosh!

Her figure twisted at an astonishing angle and she somersaulted into mid air. Then, she suddenly soared skywards.

At the same time, a blurry arrow silently brushed past like an illusion and pierced her left leg.

Pu!

Blood spewed everywhere. Ghost Moon staggered and then she plummeted from the sky like a shot goose.

Ghost Moon trembled inwardly. What kind of archery skill was that? Its so abnormal!

But with her years of assassination experience, she quickly regained her composure. Before she plunged to the ground, she gathered all her strength to her body and dodged to one side in a flash.

Her opponents archery skill was too strange. It was too still and quiet that it was impossible to guard against. Therefore, Ghost Moon didnt dare to attack head-on again.

Be careful

A hoarse voice rang in Ghost Moons ears just as she dodged under the eaves.

It was Gray Marten!

Terrified, Ghost Moon somersaulted and twisted through the air. She made a dozen amazing dodging maneuvers in a row, smashed through a wall with her body and rushed in.

Be careful!

But just as she dodged the attack and entered the destroyed house, the voice rang in her ears again. Her face blanched with horror. What is going on?

She didnt know because, from the beginning to the end, she failed to detect a trace of danger. That was what was the most terrifying!

Taking a deep breath, she dodged again. She couldnt care so much anymore. Her priority was to protect herself first.

At the same time, she realized that the assassination mission she received was much more dangerous than she thought!

Everything seemed to happen slowly but it all took place in the blink of an eye. It was incredibly dangerous but she had long adapted to such tense and dangerous atmosphere from all her years of assassinations.

However, she scrunched her brows because she didnt hear Gray Martens voice again!

Gray Marten was her comrade, who was adept in stealth and camouflage techniques and had an innate ability to sense danger.

Over the years, the two had carried out many assassination operations together. They worked very well together and Ghost Moon had also escaped many deadly crises with Gray Martens help.

This time, Gray Marten also helped her massively.

The only difference from the past was that Gray Marten didnt immediately appear after reminding her to be careful. He seemed to have vanished and that made Ghost Moon feel uneasy.

Suddenly

A tragic scream rang in the distance.

Ghost Moons face paled. Its Gray Marten!

Shua!

Without any hesitation, Ghost Moon sped into the distance. She didnt care about any danger as Gray Marten had saved her life several times before and she couldnt just watch him die and do nothing.

Fortunately, she didnt encounter any danger on the way, but when she saw Gray Marten, her heart sank.

Gray Marten was lying still in a puddle of rainwater on the street. His breathing was faint, his thin cheeks were deathly pale, and a ghastly hole had pierced his abdomen. Blood was gushing wildly everywhere.

The wound was in his important sea of qi area, which was where a cultivators aeth power reservoir was gathered. It was the foundation of a cultivators cultivation but a hole had been pierced into it!

Undoubtedly, Gray Martens cultivation base was consequently destroyed!

Ghost Moon only felt her head buzzing like lightning had struck her.

Moon, dont worry. That kid also suffered an attack from Boss Remnant Snow when he struck me. Boss Remnant Snow is pursuing after him now. I believe it wont be long before we can complete this mission.

Gray Marten said in his hoarse voice as if to comfort Ghost Moon. Its just that Im afraidI won't be able to carry out missions with you again.

Sadness clouded Ghost Moons face as she crouched down and held Gray Marten in her arms. She drew a deep breath and said, Tell me, which direction did that kid run in. Her voice was filled with indescribable hatred.

Gray Marten grabbed her arm. This is the fate of an assassin. Defeat means death. Its already good enough to be able to survive. Youre already injured, dont be so impulsive. Just leave everything to Boss Remnant Snow.

Ghost Moon was about to say something when Gray Marten gritted his teeth and said, Moon, listen to me this one time. Our opponent is extremely cunning and ruthless. You will only hinder Boss Remnant Snow if you go there.

Ghost Moons expression changed, her heart filled with hatred and anger. II dont want to accept defeat! she roared in frustration.

Suddenly, there was an echo of a mischievous voice in the heavy rain. Little girl, its normal to not want to accept defeat. But if you die, you wont even have the chance to feel this way.

Who is it!?

Ghost Moon and Gray Marten both turned ashen-faced.
