Chapter 136: The Strategy—Fighting Separately!
“Annoying assassin!” Zhang Xifeng exclaimed as Flying Flower struck again. He hurriedly blocked, but in the blink of an eye, Flying Flower vanished once more.
After disappearing, she reappeared repeatedly around Zhang Xifeng, striking over and over.
Their attacks grew faster and faster, to the point where Lin Han, standing nearby, could barely discern their movements.
Is this the battle of supreme realm masters?
Neither the combat experience nor the reaction speed was something he could compare to.
In fact, they were on completely different levels.
Even now, wielding forbidden spells, facing a newly ascended supreme realm warrior was no contest—not just because of sheer strength but because of a deeper understanding of combat.
At this moment, he was immensely grateful that he had hired Senior Flying Flower back then. Without her, with his current abilities, he would have been powerless against these veteran supreme realm warriors.
His third-stage power was simply insufficient!
“You little girl, I’ve slain assassins before. Looks like today I’m about to slay my second!” Zhang Xifeng sneered.
Despite Flying Flower’s relentless assault, he remained calm and composed, showing no hint of pressure on his face.
“Then let’s see if senior has the ability!” Flying Flower vanished again, this time targeting Ma Tianxing, who stood further away.
Even with the Armor-Piercing Blade’s enhancement, dealing with Zhang Xifeng was no simple matter. But Ma Tianxing was another story.
If they could control Ma Tianxing, Zhang Xifeng wouldn’t dare act recklessly.
In that instant, Zhang Xifeng sensed something amiss and immediately moved to stand beside Ma Tianxing, blocking Flying Flower’s attack.
Ma Tianxing was so frightened he collapsed to the ground. If Uncle Zhang hadn’t caught that strike, there was no way he could have dodged it!
Is this the so-called assassin god?
“Little girl, how can you strike others while fighting me?” Zhang Xifeng’s expression turned fierce, and his aura grew terrifying.
He had slipped up...
Flying Flower retreated a few meters and said, “As expected from a supreme realm swordsman, your perception is terrifying. You were able to react and block at such a distance.”
“But from that test just now, I could sense your wound from the previous battle hasn’t healed. Your strength is now close to mine; you may not be able to win.”
“So what?” Zhang Xifeng slowly approached her. “Even if I’m weaker than before, killing you is still an easy task!”
---
“Senior, you really don’t know how to be humble!” Flying Flower sighed. Although Zhang Xifeng’s strength had indeed diminished, he was still a supreme realm warrior. Resolving this fight quickly would not be easy.
But Zhang Xifeng’s attention was fixed on Ma Tianxing. Now that the earlier plan had failed, replicating it was impossible.
So from now on, Flying Flower could only focus entirely on Zhang Xifeng, and chances to find another opening would be slim.
On the other hand, this gave Zhang Xifeng a chance to be distracted.
Zhang Xifeng said in a low voice, “Young master, the item should be in that guy’s hands. His strength is not great—probably only second stage. You can handle him easily.”
“This assassin has strong techniques. I can’t take her down quickly, so to avoid complications, I’ll hold her off while you deal with that guy.”
“Alright.” Ma Tianxing nodded and said, “Uncle Zhang, be careful. I’ll try to finish quickly.”
“Mm.”
Then Ma Tianxing ran toward Lin Han.
“Little boss, the enemy came to us. The other guy is probably around fourth stage, so it shouldn’t be a problem.”
“Zhang Xifeng is tough to deal with. I’ll try to keep him occupied so he can’t interfere.”
Flying Flower said this and took the initiative to strike, and Zhang Xifeng immediately charged at her.
The two supreme realm warriors clashed instantly!
Lin Han didn’t hesitate and ran toward the outskirts. Facing a fourth-stage opponent wouldn’t be too hard, but Zhang Xifeng’s presence could complicate things.
So he had to lure Ma Tianxing far enough that Zhang Xifeng couldn’t intervene.
“Don’t run!” Ma Tianxing chased hard—he had to reclaim what rightfully belonged to him.
“If you can catch me, then try!” Lin Han chuckled and quickened his pace.
After chasing several kilometers, they were far from Flying Flower and the Three-Edged Sword.
Lin Han stopped.
“Why aren’t you running anymore?” Ma Tianxing also halted.
Lin Han smiled. “No need to run now. We’re far from Zhang Xifeng’s position, and your dear uncle can’t help you here.”
“Are you trying to lure me?” Ma Tianxing frowned.
“What else?” Lin Han explained, “If I weren’t luring you, it would be safest for me to stay beside the assassin god. Why bother pulling you over here?”
Ma Tianxing sneered. “You think you can beat me? I’m a level forty platinum knight, just one step away from diamond rank. There aren’t many my age who can challenge me.”
“Is that so?” Lin Han looked helpless. “You must be just over twenty, studying at one of the five great academies?”
Ma Tianxing didn’t understand the implication. “So what if I am?”
“Don’t you recognize the assassin god from earlier?”
“Why would I know her?”
Lin Han smiled. “Think carefully. Isn’t there a world-renowned assassin at Changqi Academy?”
“I’m from Changqi Academy. There’s no such person now!”
Senior Brother?
He hadn’t expected Ma Tianxing to be from Changqi Academy, but it made sense. The Ma family was influential and capable of cultivating strong warriors.
So it wasn’t surprising that Ma Tianxing had been refined by the Ma family and joined Changqi Academy.
“Surname Jiang, you better think carefully.”
“Jiang?”
Ma Tianxing’s expression darkened. “It’s her? That assassin god just now was her!”
“Looks like you remember now.”
Lin Han smiled. “With your talent, and yet you dare claim invincibility among your peers? Aren’t you overestimating yourself a bit?”
“So what?” Ma Tianxing sneered. “Of course I can’t beat that monster, but do you think she can defeat Uncle Zhang?”
“And do you think you can defeat me?”
“I don’t know if Flying Flower can beat the Three-Edged Sword, but you’re no problem,” Lin Han said calmly, not taking Ma Tianxing seriously at all.
Just a mere platinum-ranked knight—he was only a bit troublesome.
