C3563 Assassination Attack
Jiang Ting muttered to himself. He immediately suppressed his emotions and stood on the deck, focusing on what was in front of him. At least, that seemed to be the case.
Although he didn't want to admit it, in fact, he hadn't found the assassin of the Black Feather Pavilion. Even now, he hadn't noticed his whereabouts.
There was only a trace of fear lingering in his heart, and he couldn't find the source.
As expected of the Black Feather Pavilion. It was fine if they didn't attack, but if they wanted to kill him... even if his Divine Sense was comparable to the late stage Earth Realm, he still couldn't find the assassin.
The sun rose and the moon fell, the moon rose and the moon rose.
Very quickly, three days passed slowly.
In these three days, Jiang Ting traveled around ten thousand miles at a moderate speed.
During this period of time, he had always been in the flying boat.
The feeling of his heart palpitating had never faded. The assassin that he had been keeping a close watch on outside had also not made a move.
He flew for a while more.
Jiang Ting took out a chair from his storage bag and sat down, then faced the sun with a calm expression.
The assassin from the Black Feather Pavilion was too careful. He had been following him for three days, but had never made a move.
The more it was like this, the more he could not be underestimated.
The assassin talked about suddenly making a move when the target of the assassination was relaxed, and then making a move to escape with a single strike.
The more patient one was to follow the hidden person, the more Jiang Ting felt helpless... Only the heavens knew how earth-shattering that assassin's sure-kill strike was.
In this world, there was no lack of geniuses.
He had to think of a way to force that killer out.
Force the assassin out with a large scale attack?
It was a good idea, but in Jiang Ting's opinion, it was not practical.
He was not sure if the assassin was close or far from him.
If he acted rashly, the assassin would be very far away from him... Once he sensed that he was on guard, the assassin would definitely hide even deeper.
It was not a good strategy to alert the enemy.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Ting had a countermeasure in his heart. If the person in the dark did not attack, it was likely that he did not find the flaw that he thought was real and big enough.
Since that was the case, he would give that person a huge flaw!
He waved his hand lightly, and the grand formation of the flying ship was instantly activated. A circular curtain of light that was as thin as a cicada's wing enveloped the flying ship.
After that, Jiang Ting put away the chair that he had just taken out and sat cross-legged on the deck... He fell into a state of cultivation.
The silver dragon's flying speed plummeted by a notch.
In the dark, no one knew when.
A person who was hiding quietly followed Jiang Ting's flying boat, which was about forty meters high. He could clearly see that Jiang Ting was in a state of cultivation.
However, he did not make a rash move. Instead, he continued to follow.
He would not have been so careful. Unfortunately, Jiang Ting's reputation was too great. Furthermore, the Scarlet Flame Sect had suddenly been unable to make sense of the reason why they had sealed off the mountain. He was not sure why, so he would rather follow them for a while longer.
After that, he followed them.
Soon, another three days passed.
During this period of time, the speed of the silver dragon did not change. It didn't deviate from its course, and Jiang Ting remained motionless like a statue. Only the ripples that occasionally appeared seemed to be telling him that Jiang Ting was cultivating.
Although he did not cultivate at a deeper level, if there were any unusual movements, he would be able to withdraw from the state of cultivation in time.
He followed him for a while.
The man sped up slightly. "You dare to cultivate while traveling outside? You won't die unjustly."
Not a single sound came out, it was just a murmur in his heart.
Very quickly, as he increased his speed, he drew close to the flying boat... However, the flying boat's barrier blocked his footsteps.
He knew why Jiang Ting dared to cultivate. It wasn't because the flying boat had a defensive formation. As long as the formation wasn't broken, outsiders couldn't enter the flying boat... With the current formation of the Silver Dragon, even a Golden Core Earth Realm expert wouldn't be able to break it with a single strike.
If it was any other sect, it would be very difficult for them to face the defense of the formation.
Unfortunately, who was he? He was a member of the Black Feather Pavilion, an assassin, an extremely famous assassin.
The assassins were most unafraid of all kinds of defensive techniques and spells... If they did not have the ability to defend, how could they still use assassination?
He turned his wrist and a dagger that was less than half a foot long appeared in his hand. The dagger was silver in color and did not seem to be mystical.
After taking out the dagger, he wasn't in a hurry to make a move. He was still calm and didn't reveal any flaws or aura to follow.
Jiang Ting did not react at all in the flying boat. It was as if he did not know anything.
"Very good..." As no one heard him mumbling, the man didn't hesitate anymore. He waved his palm and attacked.
The dagger turned into a cold light and directly stabbed towards the flying boat's defense.
"With a tearing sound, the flying boat's defense was instantly torn apart. It actually did not manage to buy even the slightest bit of time before it was broken.
The cold light transformed from the dagger approached Jiang Ting at an extremely terrifying speed. The most terrifying thing was that the dagger didn't release any aura even at this moment.
As for the cold light... One should know that Jiang Ting's back was facing that person. Naturally, he couldn't see the cold light.
There was no aura, and he could not see...
"If it wasn't for me being vigilant, I might really have died... Break!" At this critical moment, Jiang Ting suddenly let out a cold snort.
A powerful energy wave spread out in all directions.
"Rumble..." The energy wave swept in all directions.
The silver dagger that was attacking Jiang Ting was also blocked by the magic sword that Jiang Ting used to attack through the air. It was knocked down.
The concealed person's true body was also hidden by the violent Qi waves.
At this moment, Jiang Ting finally saw the person's face clearly and sensed his Qi.
That person wore a black robe that was commonly seen in the Black Feather Pavilion. His face was somewhat pale, and it was a sickly white.
His appearance and clothing were not surprising... The only strange thing was that he carried an umbrella on his back and a black umbrella was tied on his back.
After being forced out of hiding, that person's expression changed slightly. In an instant, he regained his calm and said in a low voice, "It seems that I was careless..."0
As he spoke, the silver dagger that had been shot down returned to his hand.
Jiang Ting tilted his head slightly. "If you don't hit me with your attack, why don't you run millions of miles away?"
His heart became solemn. That person's cultivation base was not weak. On the contrary, his cultivation base was very high.
Earth Realm, Peak!
He had surpassed him by a total of three small realms... There was no way to fight him at all.
The difference in cultivation base was too great. Even if he were to unleash his full strength... forget victory or defeat, he would at most barely be able to maintain his own undefeated state. It was simply impossible for him to fight back.
"Ten million li away..."
After a pause, that person narrowed his eyes. "I do want to leave. Are you willing?"
Indeed, it wasn't that the man didn't want to leave, but Jiang Ting's Divine Sense had locked onto him. He couldn't leave at all.
It was also because he was locked onto by Jiang Ting's divine sense... If not, given some distance and time, he would be able to conceal himself again, to the point where Jiang Ting wouldn't be able to detect him.
Jiang Ting did not answer and instead asked, "Actually, I'm very curious. Fellow Daoist, you are a peak Earth Realm expert, and you will be able to break through to the Heavenly Realm in time. With such a cultivation base, why would you do such an assassination?"
Unexpectedly, that person actually replied, "Assassinating you, Fellow Daoist, who is at the peak of the Earth Realm, isn't considered a loss of face."
