Chapter 17 17. Assassination
"How is it?"
At the end of the Great Wall, there were two men wearing crimson windbreakers standing on top of the wall, one fat and one thin, gazing at the forest in the distance.
The tall, thin man said in a cold voice, "There's been no news from the killer, so he probably hasn't succeeded yet."
"What kind of killer did you hire?" The short and fat man looked unhappy. "Why does it take so long to kill a first-level guy?"
"Tsk, Panda, don't worry. To prevent any mistakes, I hired that bald guy at a high price. He's a second-level cultivator and has even assassinated a third-level spiritualist. It's like using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken to deal with a young boy this time."
The tall, thin man's eyes were gloomy, and he continued calmly, "What's more, it's difficult for the kid surnamed Xia to survive Qi Xiao's hands. We may not even need to take action."
"That's best!" Although Panda was a bit short and fat, the thick glasses gave him a scholarly air. He pushed his glasses up and said, "You hid it from us this time and acted on your own. If the Lord knew about the assassination attempt on Xia Feng, neither you nor I would be in a good situation!"
As he spoke, he glanced coldly at the tall and thin man, "So, Knight Yan, you'd better pray that Xia Feng really dies in the Evil Dragon Forest!"
Seeing that Panda was still questioning him with a condescending attitude, Yan Xujia felt unhappy and sneered, "Fatty Pan, you can rest assured. There's no way that Xia kid will walk out of the Evil Dragon Forest alive!"
While the two were talking, they were completely unaware that there was a woman in a black dress standing on the wall higher up behind them.
Mu Qingtong, dressed in an elegant black dress, stood tall with her hands behind her back, a translucent black lace veil draped over her face. Her beautiful eyes narrowed as she gazed down at the two figures from behind. "Look at the half-moon emblem on the windbreaker. Are you from the Black Moon Church?"
Why did the people from the Church attack Xia Feng? Mu Qingtong raised his head and gazed into the depths of the forest, his brows slightly furrowed.
A second-level assassin who has killed a third-level spiritualist by crossing levels must have extremely rich combat experience, which is difficult for even her to deal with.
But there is a solution.
One of the methods is to start a tug-of-war. As long as she can hide her body and escape in the forest for two days, she is sure to kill the opponent.
As for Xia Feng
"Mr. Xia, if you die like this, it only means that you are not worthy of being my opponent."
The woman in the black dress had her beautiful pale golden eyes flashing as she stood on the wall, gazing at the blood moon in the sky. The concentration of evil energy in this place made her feel a little uncomfortable.
If Xia Feng could get rid of the pursuers, it would take at least two days, and the Evil Dragon Forest was open for five days a year. Thinking of this place, she was too lazy to stay any longer and turned around to go down the city wall.
"Come back the day after tomorrow, Xia Feng. I hope you won't let me down."

“This taste is so familiar.”
Xia Feng looked at the wisdom fruit in his hand, feeling speechless and disappointed.
After returning to the Light Evil Zone from the Black Hole, he walked back leisurely while counting the spoils.
The shell of the wisdom fruit is rough and dark red in color. After peeling it, the flesh inside is translucent white, and it looks no different from a lychee.
When you eat it, it tastes just like lychee.
Wow! The fruit of wisdom in this world is lychee?
But after eating one, he did feel a little more rational.
But at the same time, he clearly felt that his ability to absorb evil energy began to decline rapidly, and he even developed a feeling of irritation and dislike for evil energy.
"Hiss—" Xia Feng's eyes widened, and he subconsciously dropped the bag full of wisdom fruit to the ground. "Damn it, it's actually a poisonous fruit!"
According to what we learned in the textbooks, the wisdom fruit has the function of clearing and resisting the erosion of evil forces. Obviously, this is his natural enemy!
To him, it was the Queen’s poisoned apple!
But he had just taken a few steps, thought for a moment, turned back, picked up the bag on the ground, and blew away the dust.
Although it is a very vicious fruit, the current market price of a wisdom fruit is 10,000 imperial coins.
And there are still twelve left in the bag, which means a huge sum of 120,000 yuan!
Previously, in order to collect materials to activate the evil demon's heart, he had spent all his savings and was extremely poor.
Especially since this month's rent has not been paid yet, now having such a huge sum of money has solved the urgent problem.
Xia Feng shook the fruit bag and grinned: "Since it's useless to me, I'll use you to blast away the gold coins!"
After putting the bag away, he took out the life fruit. Although it was called the life fruit, it did not have the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life.
However, it can prolong life after taking it. This longevity is not empty talk, but it can actually increase lifespan by 1 day to 1 year.
The market price of this thing starts at 100,000, and only rich people can afford it.
That is why there are so many bigwigs in this world who live to be over a hundred years old.
Of course, the life fruit is useless to him. After all, he relies on the evil demon heart to maintain his life. The higher the activity of the evil demon heart, the longer his life will be.
[Activity remaining: 7 days, 4 hours, 39 minutes]
It seems that he still has about a week to collect the summoning materials for the "Gate to the World"
"Huh?!" Xia Feng paused as he was thinking. His hair stood on end and a layer of golden light appeared on his body. He swung his long tail behind his vertebrae to block the sneak attack. Bang -
He took advantage of the momentum to leap forward onto a treetop, then turned around and looked down.
The bald man in a mink coat took two steps back, coming to his senses from his shock. "Damn it, there's only one? Such a huge information error, is that black-robed guy going to eat shit?"
Cursing, the big man turned the delicate knife in his hand, raised his head and grinned,
"But boy, although it's a little unexpected, I like hidden geniuses like you. Do you want to know why?"
As he spoke, he licked the delicate knife in his hand with his tongue in ecstasy, and the corners of his mouth widened. "Because, killing like this makes it more satisfying!"
Xia Feng: “.”
Xia Feng's gaze lingered on the bald man's knife. So, someone actually licked a knife? Well, at least we could deduce a little bit of information about the battle; the knife wasn't poisonous.
Oh no, now is not the time to think about these things. He looked at the strong man, a little confused: "Who sent you? I don't think I have offended anyone recently?"
The bald man smiled and said, "Who sent me? Of course - whoosh!!"
Just as Xia Feng's pupils dilated slightly, wanting to listen to who it was, the big man took a step forward and rushed towards Xia Feng as fast as a meteor, grinning and his eyes filled with excitement and murderous intent.
Damn, it’s Lao Liu! Xia Feng hurriedly swung his sword and launched three waves, attacking instead of defending.
Swish—but the next moment, the figure of the strong man who jumped into the air disappeared in a flash.
"Idiot, I'm behind you." A low laugh came from the big man behind him, and at the same time, a palm strike with terrifying spiritual pressure came over. Xia Feng's black eyes condensed.
The tail tip released a high-pressure impact point on the big man's palm, bang!!!
Xia Feng's face turned pale and he vomited blood. His body flew into the air. He quickly turned around and stepped on the branches for leverage, then fled into the distance. A tactical retreat!
"Want to run! Can you escape?" The bald man sneered, and his figure swept past the woods like a meteor at an extremely fast speed.
