Chapter 66: Assassin
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Nie Xiaowei’s hair was a little messy, and her eyes were bloodshot.
She glanced at Yang Yicheng, then slowly walked towards Xu Ning.
The executioner immediately stopped his movements.
He was already informed that today’s execution of Yang Yicheng was just for show.
Even if Nie Xiaowei did not show up just now, he would not have gone forward with the execution.
“He has nothing to do with the Magic Faction. I am a Magic Faction warrior.”
Nie Xiaowei walked to Xu Ning and said calmly.
.
This was the first time Xu Ning had seen Nie Xiaowei behave in such a manner.
Normally, Nie Xiaowei would look away and hide by the walls when walking past Xu Ning.
But right now, she was standing up straight, speaking about the fact that she was a Magic Faction warrior.
Tao Qingping stared at her with a complicated expression.
This was not the same timid little girl he knew.
“Magic Faction warrior?!”
The people in the city who had been watching the execution were all surprised, as they gasped out loud.
Everyone whispered and gossiped about as they glared at Nie Xiaowei.
Although a Magic Faction martial artist was daunting, because Black Armored Guards were nearby, the crowd were not scared of Nie Xiaowei.
“So she is a Magic Faction warrior…”
Nie Xiaowei had personally admitted to her identity, and Xu Ning was not surprised.
“Cuff her and take her back to the guard station.”
Xu Ning said to Song Weiyi behind him.
Song Weiyi received the order, took the cuffs from the city guard, and walked carefully to Nie Xiaowei’s side.
This was the first time Song Weiyi had faced a Magic Faction warrior.
“Wait a moment…”
Nie Xiaowei suddenly took a step back. “Master, I want to talk to him.”
She made a request to Xu Ning.
Seeing this, Song Weiyi stopped and looked at Xu Ning.
“Fine.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXu Ning agreed.
Since Nie Xiaowei had taken the initiative to turn herself in, she would definitely not think about running away again.
This would probably be the last time Nie Xiaowei would see Yang Yicheng.
The Black Armored Guards only gave Magic Faction warriors one punishment: a beheading.
“Thank you, sir.”
Nie Xiaowei bowed to Xu Ning.
She turned around, walked slowly onto the stage, and approached Yang Yicheng.
Yang Yicheng stood up and looked into Nie Xiaowei’s eyes.
She finally came.
Nie Xiaowei stepped forward and gently stroked Yang Yicheng’s cheek with her palm.
Tao Qingping turned his head.
“Run, quick, run.”
Yang Yicheng quickly whispered into Nie Xiaowei’s ear.
Yang Yicheng’s two hands were currently restrained by shackles.
Nie Xiaowei smiled upon hearing Yang Yicheng’s words.
She shook her head. “I’m no longer running.”
“Master Lieutenant! Nie Xiaowei is talking nonsense! I am the real Magic Faction warrior!”
Suddenly, Yang Yicheng screamed towards Xu Ning, as if he was crazy.
He continued, “I practiced the magic technique, this has nothing to do with her! Kill me!”
“Calm down!”
The executioner on the side kicked Yang Yicheng’s leg, causing him to fall to the ground.
“I am the real Magic Faction warrior! Kill me instead!”
Yang Yicheng was emotional.
The executioner wanted to slap Yang Yicheng, but he saw Xu Ning walking over with a knife behind his back.
“Come! Kill me!”
Seeing Xu Ning approaching, Yang Yicheng continued to scream.
He didn’t notice how childish and ridiculous he was.
“Master…”
Nie Xiaowei saw Xu Ning walking over with a knife and subconsciously began to protect Yang Yicheng.
“He’s lying, I am…”
For the first time, Nie Xiaowei began to panic.
But Xu Ning ignored Nie Xiaowei’s words. He quickly walked forward, drew his knife in an instant, and slashed forward like the wind.
Nie Xiaowei reached out her arm and was about to block the attack.
However, Xu Ning suddenly went past Nie Xiaowei.
Immediately afterwards, there were sounds of collision.
Clink!
Xu Ning’s blade blocked two metal throwing knives.
‘Assassins!’
Nie Xiaowei realized that someone was coming to kill her!
“I thought we would only catch Nie Xiaowei…”
Xu Ning smirked, as he stared at the roof not far away. “I didn’t expect…”
“To catch a big fish!”
Xu Ning suddenly leaped off the ground violently, leaving behind dents and cracks in his wake. With the strength of his body alone, he was able to jump onto rooftops easily.
On the rooftops, Xu Ning saw a masked figure facing him.
There was no doubt that this masked assassin had appeared here to kill Nie Xiaowei.
‘Afraid that Nie Xiaowei will fall into the hands of the Black Armored Guards and expose the Magic Faction secrets?’
Xu Ning ran towards the masked assassin on the rooftops faster and faster.
The masked assassin raised his hands, and several knives began to fly towards Xu Ning.
Clink! Clink! Clink!’
None of the flying knives thrown by the masked assassin hit Xu Ning.
‘A qi realm warrior!’
Xu Ning felt a sense of force in the knives.
The masked assassin turned around and fled when he saw that his knives were useless.
Xu Ning continued to chase after him.
‘Although he is in the qi realm, he doesn’t seem very strong…’
Xu Ning, who was chasing the assassin in pursuit, noticed that the assassin was slower than him.
Moreover, Xu Ning felt that the strength behind the flying knives was a bit weak.
The masked assassin also noticed that the distance between the two was getting closer and closer.
So, he kept throwing knives backwards, in hopes of slowing Xu Ning down.
But Xu Ning was extremely agile, causing the flying knives to be useless. The masked assassin was also slowing down due to the constant knife throwing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe distance between the two was getting closer and closer.
“Caught you!”
Xu Ning had a fierce look in his eyes.
In an instant, the skin on his arm and palms began to darken in color.
He activated his hardened skin.
Xu Ning slashed forward.
The masked assassin had to turn around to react.
He had an extra dagger in his hand, blocking Xu Ning’s knife.
But the moment the blades touched, he felt a sharp pain in his forearm.
This was Xu Ning’s force attack.
Xu Ning also felt the force of the masked assassin.
The assassin’s force was weak, allowing it to be blocked by Xu Ning’s hardened skin.
A trace of panic appeared in the eyes of the masked assassin.
Xu Ning noticed this.
Xu Ning’s knife was like a thunderstorm, slashing down at the masked assassin continuously.
The masked assassin gritted his teeth and persisted, resisting Xu Ning’s tide-like blade slashes.
Strong force, strong physical strength, and suffocating blade slashes…
The masked assassin finally couldn’t take it anymore. In the end, the dagger in his hand was flung away, and his forearm was slashed by Xu Ning’s blade.
Xu Ning hit the masked assassin’s forehead with his elbow.
Xu Ning intended to catch the masked assassin alive, otherwise he would have died already.
After being hit hard by Xu Ning in the forehead, the masked assassin became dizzy.
He could only bite his tongue to keep himself awake.
‘Sh*t!’
Xu Ning was startled when he saw the masked assassin moving his mouth.
‘Is he biting open a poison sac in his mouth to kill himself?’
‘I want him alive’
Without any hesitation, Xu Ning pinched the assassin’s lower jaw, completely dislocating his jaw.
The masked assassin whimpered in pain.
Xu Ning tore off his mask, revealing the face of an ordinary middle-aged man.
Xu Ning opened his mouth and checked.
‘I was wrong…’
Xu Ning did not find a poison sac. It seemed that the masked assassin didn’t want to commit suicide after all.
‘It makes sense, as poison in this world is very weak. For martial artists with strong bodies and strong internal qi, it’s easy to resist poison.’
“If someone wanted to make poisons that were effective against high-level warriors, the cost of the raw materials would be astronomical. It would be better to just use the materials for martial arts practice instead.’
