Chapter 769: Pierced Heart!
Long Chen realized that there were two assassins! One of them used a bow. Based on the strength of the arrow shooting towards the Three Thousand Star Clusters, he determined that the assassin was at the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage. While the assassin running towards him was most likely at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage based on their speed!
“Ninth Earthly Martial Stage …” Suxue detected the person running towards them and chose to stand in front of Long Chen rather than pursuing the bow user. She understood how serious this was when there was someone at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage coming after Long Chen.
Long Chen made a snap decision. “You block the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage one. It’s best if you can figure out who it is. I’m certain that you will know this bastard if he’s in Heavenly Wood City. I will chase after the other one.”
“What? You can’t go! The other person is very strong too …” Based on the power of the arrow, she could also tell that the other person was most definitely at the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage. How could Long Chen defeat someone of that caliber?
But the other assassin had reached them. The assassin saw Suxue and was shocked before he snarled. It was clear that the person recognized her!
“What petty thief dares to infiltrate the Demon clan’s territory and cause trouble here?” Suxue pounced towards the assassin. Because of their disguise, neither Long Chen nor Suxue recognized him.
They also reckoned that the other assassin was going to escape.
Suxue was blocking the first assassin, and Long Chen understood that he couldn’t delay this anymore.
Suxue wanted him to stay quietly beside her, but Long Chen refused. They were in the midst of attacking him, so there was no reason to play it safe. This was different from what Chen Xu had done—this was assassination! If Long Chen allowed the other party to live, he could get killed for real next time!
