Chapter 29 Assassination
Li Shiming maintained a stable breathing pattern, just as he did while sleeping.
Perhaps others trying to simulate sleeping breaths might reveal some flaws, but with the assistance of the IBM z15 mainframe server, his breathing was indistinguishable from his sleeping breaths.
The night walker, experienced as he was, did not notice that Li Shiming was feigning sleep.
With a few light steps, the night walker reached the bedside, and his short dagger, gleaming with a cold light, thrust toward Li Shiming's chest.
Li Shiming moved as well, a Lower Grade Long Sword Magic Artifact suddenly appearing in his hand.
Charged with spiritual energy, the Lower Grade Long Sword Magic Artifact shone with a strange spiritual power light.
The Lower Grade Long Sword Magic Artifact swung out from beneath the blanket, first slicing it open, and by the time the night walker realized it, it was too late.
For a Qi Refinement Second Level cultivator, engaging in close combat with a martial arts master wasn't wise, but who said that Li Shiming at the Qi Refinement Second Level was just for show.
Even with the Lower Grade Magical Artifact in hand, he only knew how to infuse it with spiritual energy, not how to unleash its true power.
If it hadn't been accidental preparedness versus intentional readiness, he would have already taken out a talisman.
However, he wasn't entirely without confidence, as the night walker struck, Li Shiming had already donned a Low Grade Magic Robe, which meant even a direct stab wouldn't harm him.
At such close range, technique was irrelevant. Li Shiming's Qi Refinement Second Level physical condition could be fully utilized.
