Chapter 125: Skill: Puppet Strike
Squinting, Ye Yu saw a beardless and pale scholarly-looking man dressed in a long blue robe. He looked refined and was carrying a black sack into the house. The man in blue did not light a fire. He dumped the thing in the sack onto the bed. It was a twelve-year-old girl.
She was chubby. Her skin was white and tender, and she wore a pink coat that was short and lined. She carried a small golden lock with her and was likely a Young Miss from a wealthy family.
“Hmph, you stupid commoners, do you really think that a post on the Imperial News Board will stop my practice? How ridiculous,” the Sorcerer sneered.
His white, refined face twisted under the moonlight, and his pupils reflected a pale red light. Coarsely, he pulled apart the young girl’s clothes and lowered his head to bite her neck. Just then, a cold light filled with a murderous intent attacked him from behind. The Sorcerer was immediately startled. Instinctively, he mobilized his Spiritual Power to protect his body. However, he was a little too slow.
The sharp and fierce attack pierced the Sorcerer’s back before his Spiritual Light of Protection could be activated, causing blood to spurt out. The Sorcerer turned around suddenly. A red light glowed in his palm, ready to strike at the attacker, but nobody was there.
“A Shadow Assassin.”
The Sorcerer’s expression darkened. There was a layer of red light across his eyes as he scanned the house carefully. However, he could not see anything. How can that be? His Ghost Eye is sensitive to Spiritual Power, so why can’t he find the Shadow Assassin? The Sorcerer recognized that the matter was tricky. He turned around at once and grabbed the young lady.
With an evil grin, he said, “Come out now, or I will kill this little girl.”
Still, there was no movement in the empty room. The Sorcerer clutched the small girl’s slender neck tightly. His eyes were glued to the corners of the house, so he failed to notice that the little girl’s shadow was changing strangely.
