Chapter 53

Tang Zheng took two quick steps forward, his dagger swinging, aiming straight for the vital points!

The excellent flexibility of the dagger allowed his star power to flow as if it were an extension of his arm...

Dagger Technique, starting stance!

With a sharp and fierce edge, it pierced through the front of the chest and exited from the back.

The line of blood that spurted from the assassin's back splattered Tang Xuan's face.

However, Tang Xuan didn't even blink, and with a swing of her long saber, she seized the moment of the assassin's injury and slashed horizontally at his waist.

"Aah..." The assassin, seeing death approaching, felt the stars behind him tremble, and in this life-or-death moment, he also burst forth with a formidable fighting strength!

He bent his waist and let out a loud cry.

A clanging sound echoed, and he actually relied on his flesh and blood to repel Tang Xuan's long saber!

Then, the heavy axe in his hand suddenly turned towards Tang Xuan.

"Xuan Xuan, be careful." Tang Zheng roared in anger.

His Dagger Technique starting stance quickly rose, and with the martial technique and the dagger, he directly pierced into the assassin's abdomen!

He reached out and pulled!

"Ahhh!!!" The assassin's body immediately arched.

No matter how formidable his star power, it couldn't stop the severe injury of his intestines being pierced and his stomach torn!

However, Tang Zheng wasn't doing well either.

As the assassin swung his axe to attack Tang Xuan, he also condensed his star power and rammed his head into Tang Zheng's nose.

How hard is a forehead condensed with star power? How fragile is a human's nasal bridge?

Just as Tang Zheng's dagger pierced in, two streams of blood flowed from his nose.

"Master!" Tang Xuan had just ducked to avoid the heavy axe and, upon raising her head, saw Tang Zheng's face covered in blood!

"It's... it's nothing..." Tang Zheng tried to speak, but the cartilage in his nasal bridge was soft, and his injury wasn't as severe as it looked; he just couldn't open his eyes...

However, Tang Xuan's eyes immediately flared up, and she charged at the assassin with her saber: "I'll take your life!"

She was well aware that the assassin was very strong and practiced a very special martial technique.

She also knew that as a high-rank one-star martial artist, engaging in a direct confrontation with a peak one-star martial artist might not be a wise choice.

But what she was even more clear about was that if anything happened to Tang Zheng right in front of her tonight, she would have no face to look at her "future" buried in the box ten years later!

They studied to rise for the Tang Family Castle, they worked hard for their own future...

But Tang Zheng had always been working hard for them, and they weren't blind; how could they not see it?

A thunderous sound echoed as the assassin, panting, turned and swung his axe, colliding fiercely with Tang Xuan's saber!

Martial Technique!

Martial Technique!

Neither of them simply collided; a vast wave of star power surged from both the axe and the saber!

Under normal circumstances, Tang Xuan would definitely not be able to engage in a direct martial technique battle with a peak one-star martial artist, but the assassin's protective martial technique had been broken several times by Tang Zheng, and he was now left with only half a breath...

So, with all her strength, Tang Xuan knocked him to the ground.

Tang Zheng followed up, ready to deliver the final blow, but suddenly, the assassin's eyes flickered, his star constellation abruptly retracted, and his body glowed with a yellow earth color.

Tang Xuan's next strike hit only a wisp of smoke...

"Does every assassin have a survival skill?" Tang Zheng recalled the female assassin from last time, who had also accelerated in a desperate situation, but this one was clearly stronger, directly escaping underground.

However, just as he thought this, his face twitched.

Because when he turned his head, he saw that the assassin, using the underground escape skill, had only moved less than twenty steps...

And when he landed, he seemed to be confused about his direction, looking left and right for two seconds.

But he had good luck.

This clearly random underground escape skill had sent him to the entrance of Tang Zheng's courtyard!

He immediately showed a hint of joy, quickly glanced back at Tang Zheng and the others, and fled outside.

"Chase!" Tang Zixie, leaning against a tree, struggled to throw a series of flying knives with his less skilled right hand...

"Don't let him escape." Tang Xuan quickly followed.

Tang Zheng was still thinking about the fate of the last assassin who had escaped from his courtyard...

He seemed to have been split in half...

Just as he recalled Meng Fenghua's sword from last time, he saw the familiar Nine Heavens Mystic Star Constellation shining not far away!

But the next second...

His steps, which had never been disordered, suddenly became chaotic.

His eyes were suddenly covered with a sharp bloodlight!

The person who rushed in from outside the courtyard, holding a small sword, indeed had the Nine Heavens Mystic Star Constellation, but it wasn't Meng Fenghua; it was Little Lingdang!

...

The distance, neither too close nor too far.

But for a peak one-star martial artist, twenty steps were enough to use two martial techniques!

Bang!

A loud noise echoed, and starlight surged.

The assassin didn't hesitate and directly used a martial technique.

Actually, when he first saw Little Lingdang, his first reaction was to kidnap her.

As long as he kidnapped a child, his chances of escaping would increase significantly...

But he was well aware that this was a mission that had already failed once, and he had insisted on taking it, so every nerve in his body was taut. Unlike the previous assassin, he didn't panic and run blindly but paid attention to every detail.

His clear vision allowed him to see the star on Little Lingdang's star constellation!

A one-star martial artist!

Judging by the brightness of the star, mid-rank or high-rank!

He quickly abandoned the idea of kidnapping and directly used a martial technique, aiming to kill in one strike, not letting this suddenly appearing little girl block his escape route!

"Little Lingdang, get out of the way!" Tang Zheng, of course, also saw the assassin's determination to kill Little Lingdang in this life-or-death moment!

His eyes were already filled with red bloodshot.

Not fast enough!

Without practicing footwork martial techniques, his speed was completely insufficient.

The most laughable, yet not funny, thing was that Little Lingdang still had one hand holding the big dog.

"Ha ha ha, die!" The assassin's axe fell, and the force of the martial technique was about to take Little Lingdang's life.

But Little Lingdang suddenly raised the small sword in her hand and struck the axe with a clang!

Metal fragments and starlight scattered...

The assassin's hand sank, and he felt a tingling sensation in his palm.

Little Lingdang, covering her chest, coughed twice, a surge of anger clouding her eyes. The star power cleansed by the Greedy Wolf Star rapidly surged, and she charged at the assassin with her sword: "How dare you kill my big brother!"

The sword light scattered!

The assassin was about to go mad.

A seven or eight-year-old little girl not only blocked him but also tried to kill him!

He quickly swung his axe again, putting all his strength into it!

He must kill her!

If this strike didn't kill Little Lingdang, he would die!

Swish, swish, swish...

Tang Zixie's flying knives, which couldn't be released with his left hand, were completely inaccurate, leaving him in a helpless rage.

Ding, ding, ding...

The bells around Little Lingdang's neck, which hadn't made a sound during her intense run, suddenly rang.

The continuous ringing almost pierced through the clouds!

"Little Lingdang!" Tang Zheng's star power surged wildly, but his mind was as calm as water.

Ten years of gaming experience had cultivated his good combat habits; the more he faced a desperate situation, the clearer his thinking became!

Dagger Technique!

Still the starting stance!

But this time, Tang Zheng pressed out all the star power in his body, both high and low!

Whoosh...

His star constellation couldn't be controlled, and the Sun and Moon stars kept rotating. The star power extended into the dagger, and with the operation of the martial technique, it surged forward!

Tang Zheng's Dagger Technique starting stance had never been as fine as a hair, as fast as lightning, or as far as a bullet!

A thin silver light, almost invisible, cut through the night sky...

The assassin felt a fatal danger and instinctively abandoned Little Lingdang, raising his axe to block!

But the silver light passed through his axe without any delay and struck his right eye behind the axe!

"Aah..." He let out a scream, about to swing his axe wildly, but felt his hand become light...

His axe was already just a handle!

All the parts of the axe had been shattered by the immense force of the silver light that had passed through it.

"Master..." Tang Zixie's eyes widened.

"How is this possible?" Tang Xuan opened her mouth wide, "This is... a martial technique?"

What kind of powerful star power control could make a martial technique so precise and so fast...

Thud!

Tang Zheng's full-strength attack left him with no strength to spare, and he immediately fell to the ground.

"Big brother!" Little Lingdang quickly rushed over.

"How did you get here so fast?" Tang Zheng lifted her and spun her around twice, only putting her down when he saw she was unharmed.

"I was at Brother Azhi's place..." Little Lingdang pointed; Azhi's courtyard was just a wall away from Tang Zheng's.

"Then, where is Azhi?"

"I heard there was a bad person at big brother's place, so I came over. I asked him to tidy up my toys..." Little Lingdang smiled.

"..." Tang Zheng, panting heavily, poked her nose, "No more playing with Azhi. You're just showing off!"

"Sniff, but there was a bad person trying to kill big brother..." Little Lingdang pouted, looking委屈.

Upon hearing this, Tang Xuan went over and slashed a few times, directly disabling the assassin's hands and feet.

The assassin let out another scream, clutching his bleeding eye but still not giving up on survival: "I... I was just taking money to do the job, I have no deep grudge against you. If I fail the mission, I accept it, but please let me live. In the future, I can be a friend..."

"Master, what should we do?" Tang Xuan asked Tang Zheng.

"Maybe we can keep him alive..." another member of the Tang Family Castle suggested.

"Chop him up!" Tang Zheng, breathing heavily, picked up Little Lingdang and stood up, said.
