Chapter 2472 Assassination and Charity
Frost?!
The first thing popping up in Lin Xun's mind was the legendary assassin of Empty Hidden World who had never once appeared. However, he quickly dismissed it.
Because in this split second, an illusory figure suddenly flew straight toward the blue-robed woman next to him, thrusting a sword at her! The sword qi shooting out from it was incomparably fast, silently piercing through the heavy fabric of space.
The strangest thing was, as it approached, the outside world seemed to be cut off. Everyone else in the area appeared unaware of it like they were in a different plane. Only Lin Xun, who was closest to the blue-robed woman, was alerted right away, and was astounded by the attack.
The assassin was definitely a top expert that was even more terrifying than Crane. This surprise sword strike seemed to be the masterpiece that had been perfected through one’s whole life, concentrating every bit of energy at a point while locking up this small area like an invisible cage. Anyone who was confined to this space would find it impossible to avoid the attack!
This assassination art was simply on par with Creation on how marvelous it was. Imbued with the essence of the killing dao, the sword strike was bizarre and merciless to an unimaginable degree. Its target had absolutely zero chance of survival.
In this dangerous moment, that blue-robed woman finally seemed to notice it. She quickly raised her jade fan to block. However, her reaction had been a little too slow. The matchless sword qi shattered the fan with a bang, reducing it to powder. Meanwhile, the sword qi’s momentum remained the same as it kept going!
Bang bang bang!
The protective energy layers on the blue-robed woman burst in succession. As her face paled, the various defensive treasures on her also exploded at once, unable to endure the sharpness of the sword strike.
The series of movements happened in an instant! The attacker displayed a ferocity that most cultivators had never seen in their lives, one that far surpassed Empty Hidden World’s Crane. Even Lin Xun got caught up in the sword's momentum. It was as if it wanted to grate away this whole area along with the blue-robed woman!
BOOM!
This sword finally broke through the last of her defensive layer, about to stab into her flesh. At this critical juncture, in a swift, magical flash, a finger appeared atop the sword qi and flicked out.
