(New book for practice) (No female lead, growth-oriented) A somewhat familiar starry universe, on a long journey of unknown years. The unchanging goal is to find a way to stay in this world forever...
Dao Chengyi was too lazy to think about why he was attacked. Now, looking at the thick fog around him, he only had one thought in his mind.
Heaven is helping me!
In a normal fight, he would be no match for this tunnel-digging assassin, but in this situation, he can turn the tables and kill him!
"Clang!"
A steel claw slashed through the mist, heading towards Dao Chengyi's ankle. Guided by the Crisis Gu, Dao Chengyi thrust his sword straight in, the sound of steel clashing echoing amidst sparks and friction.
The pain in the foot was perceived by the brain. Due to the difference in strength, the attack was not completely defended, but it was only a superficial injury.
Time and time again, if that organization comes to test us again this time, the risk of a counterattack will definitely increase, so we can't use Gu, we can only insist that the martial arts school's guards come over.
Assassins, assassins, are all about speed and accuracy, leaving no trace afterward. Dao Chengyi activated the Blood Thread Gu to repair his wounds, focusing intently on the thick fog.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed through his mind. After another attack from behind, Dao Chengyi blocked it once again with a move similar to Su Qin carrying his sword. Then, he secretly activated the Gu that the toad-man had transformed into, temporarily enhancing his physical abilities once more.
Before the next attack arrived, he started to run away. The opponent had obviously thought of this. Just as Dao Chengyi was about to take a step, the ground beneath his feet suddenly sank, and an iron hook went straight for his foot.
But it was still dodged. Dao Chengyi's foot slid forward, and his whole body fell down instantly. The assassin on the ground also rushed out of the ground and attacked Dao Chengyi, who was unable to get any leverage in mid-air.
The speed at which the soil was being dug truly surprised Dao Chengyi, but faced with such a dangerous moment, Dao Chengyi quickly spat out the silver needle hidden under his tongue at the person.
A glint of cold light mixed with a deadly poison that could kill instantly. The assassin ignored it, simply turning his eyes away from his target, and continued charging towards Dao Chengyi. The sound of metal clashing together indicated that the other was also fully protected.
"Meow!"
A cat rushed out from the corner and blocked the force of the claw. Dao Chengyi was also spared being disemboweled thanks to the barrier. He only had three cuts on his abdomen that exposed flesh.
Dao Cheng retreated to the crumbling room and saw that the assassin was about to throw another bomb. He quickly cut open the window and threw out a piece of wood to collide with the bomb.
The bomb exploded in mid-air, scattering various pieces of metal and fine sand. Dao Chengyi covered his head, and his arms instantly became burning hot, and he also felt many foreign objects entering his body in other parts of his body.
The assassins, however, relied on their full armor to withstand the attack. Several arrows came flying at them, and no matter how much the Crisis Gu warned him, Dao Chengyi could only cut down one, dodge one, and the remaining one passed right through his shoulder.
If the toxins hadn't been absorbed by the insect vessel immediately, Dao Chengyi would be dead by now, and only a minute and a half had passed.
But normally, there is enough time. For martial artists, people should have arrived long ago. Why hasn't anyone come yet?
Or perhaps all those people were called away? Dao Chengyi's left eye shifted and changed, connecting with the perspective of the crows in the sky, showing the situation outside the thick fog.
There was no empty space next to the martial arts school. There were seven relatively young men and women, one slightly older man with graying temples, and three young men and women dressed in fine clothes.
They stood at the very front, exuding the strongest aura, while behind them were more than a dozen followers, two of whom were martial artists left behind by the martial arts school. They stood two paths away from Dao Chengyi, and for some reason, they did not move.
Damn it, where are all those people watching?!
Dao Chengyi nearly vomited blood. If it weren't for his quick thinking, he would have been blown up by the assassin while he was taking a bath, and a group of people would still be watching.
At this moment, Dao Chengyi thought about many things: Had he been exposed, or had the assassin done something to prevent his voice from being heard?
But this nonchalant thinking was overwhelmed by the killer's deadly pressure, and the will to survive made him unable to resist using the Gu poison to kill the guy!
Dao Cheng's eyes were red, and he was in a sorry state. When he saw that the other party seemed to be preparing to take out more bombs, his mind suddenly went blank.
He suddenly fled towards the back of the house, a move that caused the assassin, who was about to throw a bomb, to stop and quickly approach.
However, just after the other party entered the house, Dao Cheng punched the supporting pillar with his fist, and the huge force broke it. At this moment, the entire house began to collapse.
The assassin was clearly surprised by Dao Chengyi's decisiveness, and even more surprised that the other party not only did not run away but also approached.
A sword attacked from multiple directions at this moment, ruthless, fast, and unpredictable, completely unlike the technique a novice should have.
The assassin spread his steel claws to defend himself, but to everyone's surprise, Dao Chengyi threw away his sword hilt and moved closer.
Just as the assassin was about to use the mechanism on his feet to throw knives, Dao Chengyi suddenly opened his tongue, which was spit out like a frog's tongue, sticking clumps of sticky flesh and blood onto the assassin's arm.
With a yank of Dao Cheng's head, the sharp steel claws pierced the falling massive roof beam, and with the force of gravity, the assassin's arm also slammed to the ground.
The knife shot from the foot pierced Dao Chengyi's chest. It hurt a lot, but it was off-center from his heart by an inch, so he didn't die! And just like that, Dao Chengyi pounced on the assassin.
With one foot stepping on the sword blade, amidst a pile of rubble, he used his sword to block the steel claw. Even though the opponent jumped up and tried to kill Dao Chengyi with the mechanism on his foot, Dao Chengyi was still a martial artist thanks to the Toad Gu's enhancement!
