Seeing him thrusting towards him, Zu An was shocked. Fortunately, he had been on high alert and, seeing the other party's tendency to rush towards him, he did not dare to hesitate for a moment. He immediately summoned a strong wind and teleported dozens of feet away.
Ding Run: "???"
He never expected that he, a top-tier assassin, would miss his target when he tried to stab someone whose cultivation was sealed and who was equivalent to an ordinary person.
"The seal on your body has been lifted?" He was still puzzled. Something was wrong. Even if the seal on the other party was lifted, the intelligence showed that he was only at the fourth or fifth level of cultivation. Killing a cultivator of that level would be as easy as slaughtering a chicken for him. How could he possibly dodge his sword?
This also puzzled others around him, who couldn't understand why he could move freely and at such a high speed.
Sang Qian was even more frustrated. He knew his own limitations. If the other party had intended to stab him, he might not have been able to dodge it even in his prime, let alone now.
He was surprised to find that he was not as good as Zuan, whom he had always looked down on. He was filled with mixed feelings.
"Guess?" Looking at the small tree behind him that had been shattered by his sword energy, Zu An swallowed hard. If he had been just a moment later, he probably would have been the one to be destroyed.
Fortunately, skills like the strong wind were not affected by the restriction, for reasons unknown.
Ding Run was furious, and snorted coldly: "No need to guess, just kill them."
After saying that, he flashed forward and stabbed at him again. This time, he learned from his previous lesson and blocked his way back. Even if the opponent dodged like before, he would be cut in two by the blade energy he had laid out in advance.
Who knew that Zuan seemed to have anticipated his plan, and this time when he summoned the wind, he did not flee backward, but instead moved sideways for more than ten feet.
Ding Run missed again with his stab, and stood there questioning his existence.
Zuan was also in a bad situation. Although he had adjusted the distance of the Great Wind Teleport to be closer so that he could use it more often, he could not use it indefinitely. If the opponent stabbed him a few more times, he would not be able to withstand it.
Ding Run turned around and looked at him, saying in a deep voice, "To be honest, you really surprised me. To be able to dodge two of my attacks in a row, you are definitely a genius among the younger generation. Given time, your achievements may even surpass mine. Unfortunately, you are destined to die here today."
After saying that, he stopped rushing forward and instead raised the knife and flicked it lightly.
Having just witnessed his "Singing with a Sword," which had even exhausted Sang Hong, he dared not hesitate any longer and teleported to the side, narrowly avoiding the danger.
However, Ding Run did not stop and flicked the knife again with his finger.
This time, Zaun did not summon the wind, after all, he had just used it three times in a row, and he had to save these precious opportunities for the most crucial moment.
So he directly used the "Sunflower Illusion" footwork. Although he had no energy and could not conjure three confusing figures, the footwork was still there, and it was very effective in dodging attacks.
"Huh?" Ding Run's eyes grew increasingly surprised. Zheng Dan, who was beside him, was alright, having witnessed Zu An's abilities before. Sang Hong and Sang Qian, however, stared wide-eyed.
"This guy is truly a talent." Sang Hong exclaimed in admiration, thinking it was a pity that if his relationship with his son weren't so irreconcilable, he would have definitely recruited this talent.
Sang Qian's eyes were filled with jealousy. It was a really unpleasant feeling to see someone who was once far inferior to him surpass him.
Ding Run snorted, and the speed at which he flicked the blade with his fingers increased, the frequency of his blade energy attacks increased, and the angles became more and more unpredictable.
After all, there was a difference in cultivation levels between the two sides. Zu An's cultivation was still sealed, and even though he had mastered the art of copying, he still couldn't completely avoid it.
A moment's delay caused him to dodge, and then an invisible blade of energy slashed open his thigh.
The resulting chain reaction affected his body, and he was then struck in the chest by a blade of energy, followed by another blade of energy striking his back, causing a cloud of blood mist to instantly bloom in the air.
"Ah!" Zheng Dan exclaimed in surprise, her face drained of color, but unfortunately, she was bound by a restriction and could not go forward to help.
Seeing his fiancée showing such concern for other men, Sang Qian was furious.
Anger from Sang Qian +999!
However, he quickly realized that once Zuan died, it would be his turn, and he couldn't be angry anymore.
"Huh?" Only Ding Run noticed something was wrong. With his sword energy, if he hit a fourth or fifth-grade cultivator, he should have cut him into several pieces long ago. How come this guy only has a few deep wounds on his body?
"I was going to play dead to fool you, but judging from your appearance, I probably won't be able to fool you." Sensing the other party's caution, Zu An slowly stood up from the pool of blood, secretly lamenting that the assassin was too cautious. He had originally planned to take advantage of the other party's inspection to suddenly use the "poisoned dagger" to ambush him.
Seeing him stand up again, Zheng Dan hurriedly covered her mouth, her moist eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.
Even Sang Qian was impressed. Was this guy even human? He was still alive after suffering such serious injuries? His body was incredibly tough.
Ding Run looked at Zu An and said in a deep voice, "Your physical strength far exceeds my expectations. Many high-level cultivators are far inferior to you."
As an assassin, he knew very well the limits of physical strength of people at each cultivation level, only then could he know how much force was needed to sever a person's life.
Zuan sighed: "I don't know whether to be happy or sad to hear your praise."
Ding Run grinned, revealing his menacing white teeth: "Of course you should be sad, because I won't hold back from now on..."
