Chapter Thirty-Nine

Xiao Shisan broke out in a cold sweat in an instant.

He couldn't imagine that in a small place like Qingcheng, someone could sneak into Xiao's house silently and kill them all the way to the backyard of Xiao's house.

The defense system of this mansion is extremely advanced.

Huge sums of money were spent.

Not to mention people, even mosquitoes that want to fly in must go through the screening of the defense AI program before judging whether it is a hazard.

In other words...

The man behind is a master!

It's too late, but it's fast.

The knife that Xiao Shisan flicked with his thumb could barely block the killing intent from the person behind him.

"The power attribute is not high."

In this extremely dangerous confrontation, Xiao Shisan made this judgment instantly.

If the opponent's strength attribute is extremely high, just relying on the strength of his little dagger to bounce off the trend, it is impossible to stop the opponent's killing move at all.

Thinking of this, the corner of Xiao Shisan's mouth twitched into a cruel sneer.

The katana remained in mid-air.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

Xiao Shisan had several thoughts in his mind.

Nian Nian was startled.

It's all killing intent.

For a real master, life and death are only a moment.

Therefore, he always only needs one knife to kill.

As if time stands still...

Moved!

Xiao Shisan stuck out his right hand like lightning, and held the samurai sword in mid-air with incomparable precision.

His agility attribute is as high as 4.1, and he has a shooting speed and reaction far beyond ordinary people.

After holding the samurai sword, Xiao Shisan shook his right wrist, and the samurai sword sank into the scabbard again.

And at this moment, the person behind him also took back the life-threatening dagger.

But... it was slower than Xiao Shisan!

Even if it is just a little mistake or a little hesitation in a master's fight, it is enough to affect the victory or defeat, and decide...

life and death.

"The mysterious killer behind him doesn't have a high agility attribute!"

Xiao Shisan made another judgment.

With just this little attribute value, he was able to infiltrate the Xiao Mansion silently?

Xiao Shisan suddenly turned to the right, reaching out and taking out his right palm, the movements were done in one go.

Out of the knife!

Like lightning!

So fast that it is almost impossible to see the trajectory of the knife!

Draw your sword and chop... Juhe!

"Clang!"

In the dark night, a dazzling white line flashed across in an instant!

That was the trajectory of Kodachi drawing his sword.

This is an ancient martial art that has almost been lost.

In this era, there are very few people who are still obsessed with practicing this boring ancient martial art.

And those who are good at drawing swords to kill people are even rarer.

Legend has it that the "knife drawing technique" has been practiced to the extreme, and it can even accurately split the bullet in two.

Although Xiao Shisan is still unable to step into the ultimate realm, but this kind of knife speed is more than enough to kill a person.

At the moment when the knife was drawn, Xiao Shisan glimpsed the true face of the mysterious man behind him out of the corner of his eyes.

When he saw clearly, a wave of fluctuation flashed in his cold eyes.

He never expected that a mysterious killer who could sneak into Xiao's house silently turned out to be just an ordinary young man on the surface.

Eyes intertwined, Xiao Shisan could even see a touch of astonishment in the other's eyes.

Ah.

Presumably the other party didn't expect that he could block his killing blow.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

In Xiao Shisan's eyes, since he had already struck out the sword, the opponent would definitely become a dead person.

Xiao Shisan's knife, as light as a white horse passing through a gap, slashed across Yi Lin's neck.

The essence of knife-drawing technique begins with speed and ends with accuracy.

As soon as Xiao Shisan's knife brushed against Yi Lin's neck, it was already in its sheath.

"it's over."

Xiao Shisan was expressionless.

In fact, there is a trace of regret in my heart.

This young man has good potential, and the silent knife from behind almost cut Xiao Shisan's throat.

But so what?

This is the cruel rule of the underground world.

It's not that the strong will definitely survive, but the one who can survive in the end... is the stronger.

Xiao Shisan was about to bury another corpse.

But suddenly—

There was a sudden sharp pain in the neck!

From behind him, the same hand, the same dark red short knife, brushed across his neck again without a sound.

The only difference from last time was that last time Xiao Shisan flicked the knife with his thumb to block it, but this time, he didn't block it.

The sharp blade severed his windpipe and severed his carotid artery.

"Why... Gu Gu..."

Xiao Shisan only uttered two words, but he couldn't say anything after that.

How can it be!

He clearly cut off the opponent's neck with a knife drawing technique.

Seeing it with my own eyes, how could it be fake?

Are there actually two people behind him?

When did he get around behind him?

Xiao Shisan fell to the ground in despair.

He raised his head with difficulty, and in an instant, his face was full of astonishment.

In front of him, where is there... people?

...

...

Yi Lin breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the knife-wielding guy was completely dead.

If he could know Xiao Shisan's thoughts before he died, he would secretly admire him.

Yi Lin's agility and strength attributes are not comparable to Xiao Shisan.

Xiao Shisan's agility attribute is probably quite high.

At least a bit taller than Yi Lin.

Moreover, Xiao Shisan has practiced ancient martial arts for a long time, bringing the agility attribute into full play.

But on one point, Xiao Shisan guessed wrong.

With Yi Lin's habit of thinking about everything before acting, how could she not have a plan of "what to do if the first cut is blocked"?

In fact, when approaching behind Xiao Shisan, Yi Lin had already noticed the black scabbard on Xiao Shisan's waist.

In the shortest possible time, Yi Lin drew up 10 plans.

Being blocked by the opponent with a knife, there are 3 follow-up plans...

Being dodged by the opponent, according to different postures and angles, there are 4 ways to make up the knife...

The wound is not deep enough, there are also 3 plans...

If it wasn't for the time constraints, Yi Lin would have to draw up at least 20 plans to be safe enough.

"Is it the sword drawing technique? Powerful."

Yi Lin murmured in a low voice, sincerely admiring her.

He casually picked up Xiao Shisan's weapon and looked at it for a moment.

Although the material is definitely not as good as the "Blood Jasmine" made by Xingchen Steel, it still looks like a good ancient knife.

"Put it away for now, but it's a pity that I don't have time to ask this guy what the origin of this knife is."

Anyway, the storage space is very empty, and it is used as a refill.

Yi Lin recalled the scene just now, and couldn't get enough of it.

The use of derivative skills of [Like a Shadow] can be regarded as a preliminary development.

And it was successfully used for the first time.

Theoretically, when the object is moving fast, the human eye can still retain the image for about 0.1-0.4 seconds after the image seen by the human eye disappears. This phenomenon is called "residual image phenomenon".

Of course, Yi Lin's agility attribute is not enough to leave afterimages.

not far off.

But the derivative skills he developed utilize similar principles.

The moment Xiao Shisan turned around, Yi Lin canceled the [Like a Shadow] skill within 0.5 seconds. In the opponent's field of vision, Yi Lin had the strongest sense of presence at this moment.

Then use the shortest time to re-enter the state of [following like a shadow].

But at this time, Xiao Shisan's full attention has already been attracted by Yi Lin at the "strongest sense of existence".

The more concentrated the human gaze, the greater the blind spot.

The more you see, the harder it is to concentrate.

Therefore, when Xiao Shisan focused on a certain point, there were relatively "blind spots" around him.

So much so that Xiao Shisan didn't even notice that Yi Lin had already circled behind her like a shadow in an instant.

This derived new skill is easy to say, but it is actually extremely difficult, and there are many restrictions.

Judging the opponent's turning direction, dominant hand, angle of attack, blind spot of sight, darkness...all kinds of conditions are indispensable.

"The new skill is called...Shadow leaving marks."

This is not an apostle skill, but an application method derived from the skill, so I can only name it myself.

And...cannot be authenticated.

Yi Lin is quite satisfied with her taste in naming.

Even if the new skill fails, Yi Lin still has enough follow-up plans, such as... mind shock.

So... Yi Lin didn't panic at all.

Yi Lin noticed that there was a pit next to Xiao Shisan.

It was full of dead bodies.

Yi Lin just supervised in a hurry, her expression slightly moved.

Xiao Mo really went crazy.

He even used the 100 million bounty as a bait to attract more people to be buried with Henry Zhang.

Yi Lin sighed, and was noncommittal to Xiao Mo's actions.

He is not a good person himself, but he has his own bottom line after all.

Yi Lin didn't want to think too much, and kicked Xiao Shisan's body into the grave.

"It can be regarded as finding a burial place for you."

Xiao Shisan still had an expression of reluctance on his face, and Gululu rolled into the pit.

At this moment, a faint groan came from the pile of corpses.
