Chapter 32

The broken sword reflected a blinding silver light, splattering a shower of blood!

It was too fast.

Not to mention that the assassin's head had been hit by the door, which would naturally slow her reaction. Even if her reaction hadn't been slowed, she still couldn't keep up with Tang Zheng's movements!

Because his movements were without the slightest hesitation, completely the most ruthless killing technique.

Moreover, he could always turn the tide of battle in his favor at any time...

The assassin only now realized that the truly astonishing thing was not that Tang Zheng had reached the first star, but that his combat reaction far exceeded that of a first-star martial artist!

Facing a first-star martial artist, she felt as if she had collided with a top-tier assassin who had experienced countless life-and-death battles!

Before Tang Zheng even hit her...

He pushed his palm, turning the half-broken sword!

Not wasting words before killing, and not forgetting to finish the job afterward—this was the cultivation of a top-tier assassin!

However, the physical strength of a peak first-star martial artist truly amazed him!

Almost half of her heart had been turned into a bloody pulp, yet she had not died immediately.

In the midst of the blood rain, she reached out to grab the half-broken sword...

Her eyes no longer held the surprise of missing her strike from the roof, nor the panic of seeing Tang Zheng at the initial first star.

Because death was already close enough!

"Trouble," Tang Zheng's senses immediately sounded the alarm.

The instability of the stars in her constellation reminded him of the scene when Tian Meng faced the Viper in Fengmen Village, where the stars shook violently...

Star Burst!

Tang Zheng didn't know the effect of her Star Burst, but he quickly dodged, retreating two or three steps.

However, after gathering star power with the broken sword, she pointed it downward...

The wind surged!

A shower of blood instantly enveloped her body. Just as Tang Zheng was confused, her speed suddenly increased, and the blood rain, shimmering with starlight, carried her through the gate and into the air!

"Not a Star Burst?" Tang Zheng immediately understood, "Then it's... a martial technique!"

A martial technique that could save her from a desperate situation!

He had suppressed her throughout the entire battle, but just as he was about to finish her off, she used a martial technique!

Moreover, this martial technique seemed to require a significant amount of blood loss and a great cost to release...

However, no matter the cost, at least she could still survive, which was better than a Star Burst!

Without a word, Tang Zheng chased after her!

"Damn, I'm an idiot," Tang Zheng gathered all his star power in his feet, leaping through the forest and over walls, chasing her frantically.

Just a few days ago, he had known that a "thief" had visited, yet he hadn't even prepared a dagger.

So when the battle started, all he had was a chopstick.

A chopstick was only suitable for eating instant noodles!

Tang Zheng thought that if he had a fine dagger in the first round of the battle, it definitely wouldn't have been cut in half, and the entire battle would have ended much earlier, avoiding the current mess.

He had been in this world for almost a month.

But now, he realized that his mindset as a top-tier assassin in the game had not been completely changed. If he continued like this, he would definitely suffer a great loss!

The blood rain scattered in the air...

The assassin fled, and the blood rain gradually stretched out in the wind.

Under the bright stars, that bright red mass, like a meteor with a strange and beautiful tail, streaked across the sky.

Tang Zheng's steps were like a ghost, chasing relentlessly.

But the strange red meteor in his pupils was getting smaller and smaller...

"Can't catch up?" Tang Zheng assessed the speed difference and found that even with his steps, he couldn't catch up with the assassin using a martial technique!

Since he came to this world, it was the first time he encountered a situation where his speed couldn't keep up with the opponent!

Just because the opponent was using a martial technique.

Although he had activated his star power, it was just scattered star power, not following the rules of a martial technique!

"Can't do it, if I jump over this wall, I'll be out of the Tang Family Manor..." Tang Zheng's eyes were fixed on the assassin, who was like a meteor with a blood-red tail in the air, but his steps didn't falter, dodging trees and leaping over walls.

But the distance between them was still increasing!

There was already a speed difference, and Tang Zheng had been chasing because his eyes told him that the assassin's body was gradually moving more erratically in the air—she couldn't last much longer!

But he was at the initial first star, while the opponent was at the peak first star, with more star power in her body. He was already exhausted, but the assassin could still continue to flee.

Tang Zheng, of course, knew that if he let the assassin escape, it would bring endless trouble...

"If she escapes, how will I explain why the roof, which was just fixed, has another hole?" Tang Zheng rubbed his forehead, "Wait, that's not the point..."

The point was, if this assassin returned alive, she would describe Tang Zheng's combat ability in great detail!

Initial first star, one palace, two stars, footwork, combat experience...

Everything about Tang Zheng would be clearly exposed to the enemy!

At that moment, a heavy black light flashed in the dark night sky...

The sword light came fiercely, as if it had appeared out of nowhere, cleanly and sharply cutting toward the figure about to fly out of the Tang Family Manor.

The person had not arrived, but the sword had!

Instantly, the blood rain scattered...

Tang Zheng looked at the delicate figure in the air, as if he were seeing the chicken he had seen in Tang Xiaotang's kitchen a few days ago...

The force of the sword, carrying a ruthless killing intent, was like a meteor falling from the sky!

The assassin, who had fought Tang Zheng to the point of exhaustion, had no strength to defend, and she, along with her constellation of a spotted leopard, was split into two halves!

"This is... a martial technique!" Tang Zheng couldn't say a word for a long time.

Meng Fenghua's strike was the same move she had demonstrated to Tang Zheng during the day, but the impact of a demonstration and actual combat on Tang Zheng was completely different!

The bright red blood instantly covered the entire sky.

Even the moon in the sky seemed to be covered with a blood-red veil.

Thud, thud, the two halves of the body fell to the ground.

Meng Fenghua quietly walked out of the courtyard, and with a slight raise of her hand, the heavy sword, not stained with a single drop of blood, returned to her back.

"Fenghua, you... stole the kill!" was all Tang Zheng could say.

"Want half?" Meng Fenghua's face was cold.

"No, no, no need." Tang Zheng quickly ran to where the body had fallen.

...

The assassin was indeed a woman, not as beautiful as Tang Xiaotang and Meng Fenghua, but still somewhat attractive.

When Tang Zheng lifted her mask, he saw a young face, no more than seven or eight years old.

Fear and shock were the last expressions on her face.

Tang Zheng didn't have the habit of sympathizing with enemies, but he noticed that the assassin's palm seemed to be tightly gripping something...

A recently deceased person's hand was still easy to move.

Tang Zheng opened her fingers and saw a small black dagger-shaped token in her palm, with a small star on it.

Tang Zheng had seen a box at the Treasure Pavilion, where he had seen many fake bases for badges and tokens, but he had never seen this one!

"What is this?" Tang Zheng held up the small token and looked at Meng Fenghua, who had walked behind him.

"I don't know, I've never seen it," Meng Fenghua shook her head.

Tang Zheng temporarily put the token aside and reached in to feel around.

Meng Fenghua frowned.

The way a game addict touched a corpse was definitely a way that would lead to a lonely life. After searching for a while, Tang Zheng finally pulled out a book before Meng Fenghua lost her patience.

"Who says the education in Wulong Town is bad, everyone carries a book..." Tang Zheng didn't mind the blood on the book and opened it to read.

The book was called "Blood Shadow Escape Technique"!

Meng Fenghua squatted down next to Tang Zheng, "Is this... an unrestricted martial technique?"

"Unrestricted martial technique?"

"Yes, a very rare and precious martial technique that is not limited to any weapon!"

"..." Tang Zheng flipped a few more pages and realized that this was the martial technique that allowed the assassin to escape in a desperate situation!

It turned out that the "Blood Shadow Escape Technique" was not about extending star power to a weapon, but to one's own blood!

The assassin had practiced such a precious martial technique, almost guaranteeing that she could save herself in any situation...

Unfortunately, she had gone too deep into the Tang Family Manor!

Before she died, she seemed to want to do something with the black dagger-shaped token in her hand, but she didn't succeed.

In the distance, footsteps were approaching.

A blood-red meteor had streaked across the Tang Family Manor, and the commotion here would certainly attract attention...

Tang Zheng was already carefully examining the shoes.

From the beginning, he had determined that the assassin's footwork was actually average, and the reason she could move freely in the Tang Family Manor was because she had a good pair of shoes.

But even with the moonlight, he couldn't see any significant difference between these shoes and the ones he or Meng Fenghua or anyone else was wearing...

They looked like ordinary black light boots.

Just as he was examining them seriously, a murmur of whispers completely disrupted his thoughts.

"Look, look, the teacher is staring at the corpse's small feet!"

"Hehe, it turns out our teacher has a thing for that, but the woman is already dead..."

"A bunch of brats! Come and see, do you recognize this person?" Tang Zheng stood up, holding the token and the martial technique book.

A peak first-star martial artist in Wulong Town would definitely be well-known.

So these brats might recognize her.

After the Tang Family Manor's disciples came to take a look, they collectively gave him a uniform answer: "Hehe."
