It seemed that Lin Xun in hiding had no breath like a rock, but actually, the “Nature Insight & Spirit-Devour Scripture” was operating slowly in his body.

He was seriously injured and his strength was wasted a lot. Before, he had swallowed a whole bottle of Sapphire Gang-refining Pills. Now, with the operation of his power, the enormous strength of the pills was continuously refined to supplement energy for Lin.

But this approach could only solve the urgent needs. The key was that the bloody hole in the chest, which could not be cured for a moment, was such a serious wound.

So now, the longer he waited, the more dangerous it was for Lin.

However, this time his rival was an extremely experienced and vicious assassin. If he wanted to kill this person, he had to be patient and powerful.

While, Lin had no time to deal with his rival patiently.

Hoo~

Suddenly, Lin took a deep breath, with his body lightly arched. But this subtle movement exposed a wave of strength of him.

Boom!

Almost at the same time, a snow-like arrow was suddenly shot out of the distant darkness and flew towards the position where Lin stayed.

The horrible whistle was breathtaking.

Lin suddenly dodged aside and rushed to the distance. While, the eaves where he stayed had been shattered in a boom.

"He must stay in the northwest corner, which is still 6,300 meters away from me."

An exact judgement emerged in Lin’s mind. Without any pause, he moved forward in the rainstorm night.

This rival had an obvious trait about fighting--- stability!

No matter lurk or the speed and strength of attacks, he always maintained extraordinary stability and never revealed a single flaw from beginning to the end.

There was no doubt that it was the most terrible thing to be targeted by such an enemy. If Lin was not careful, the enemy would seize the chance to give him the fatal blow.

Just like what he had suffered, Lin was sure that the rival would attack him when he exposed himself and of course would keep a distance of 6,300 meters!

Clearly, within the range, the rival could exploit the power to the full.

If not being injured, Lin was confident to deal with him for a while and found out who was better at assassination. But now he had to keep evading and tried to look for the best opportunity to attack the rival.

He had no choice now. By virtue of his power at present, he could only use the Insignificance Longbow once again. It would also be the last time.

In other words, there was only one chance for Lin to kill this rival tonight!

If he failed, he would lose the power to fight back.

...

At the same time, a figure also moved forward at night. With his figure like a wisp of smoke, he constantly shuttled between the streets and eaves, as quiet as a ghost. Though not fast, his speed was always steady.

This person was Residual Snow, a top assassin in Heaven-gang Realm from Tingyu Tower.

Residual Snow was known as an ace assassin in “Tingyu Tower”, for he had never failed in assassination missions carried out by him!

At this time, he had a strange rattan bow over his shoulder and an arrow holder as wide as a bowl full of well-organized arrows at the girdle.

These arrows were dark green, with the arrowhead in the shape of a leaf. The bodies were shining with snow-white radiance, as if they were mounted with tiny stars. How special they were!

The rattan bow, known as “Snow Mud Spiritual Bow”, a top spiritual tool of Human-rank, was hand-made by a spiritual tattoo master. It was a rare treasure and had a history of hundreds of years.

The arrow matched with it was called "Big Claw Spiritual Arrow". Each arrow was inscribed with a unique spiritual tattoo, full of terrible power. The value of such an arrow was about 500 imperial silver coins!

Residual Snow could bring his strength and archery into full play with the bow and arrows.

But tonight when carrying out the mission, Residual Snow could not help but frown. He wondered that as a young man in Human-gang Realm, how could the rival have such an unexpectedly strong power!

Tonight he had launched four attacks, but he still didn’t kill the young man, which made him lost in thought.

In the process of fighting with him, Residual Snow had clearly realized that this young man named Lin Xun was indeed very unusual. When chasing Lin, Residual Snow found that Lin seemed to flee in panic, but he did not leave a flaw from the beginning to the end.

What surprised Residual Snow most was that although he could capture the breath of Lin, as long as he locked onto his target, Lin would avoid it. So it was difficult for him to find the best time to attack the young man.

It was incredible!

It was the first time since Residual Snow carried out missions that he encountered such a troublesome rival. The most frightening thing was that this rival was only a young man in Human-gang Realm, who still could avoid the locking and attacks again and again under the circumstance he was seriously injured!

All these discoveries made Residual Snow admire this young man. It was hard to imagine where the young man came from and why he knew such a great means of fighting!

However, due to these discoveries, Residual Snow determined to kill Lin. Although he had no hatred for Lin, he must remember he was an assassin and his responsibility was to kill Lin and complete the mission!

This was the basic code of conduct that an assassin must follow.

What?

Suddenly, as a chill light crossed his eyes, Residual Snow sensed that the rival lurked once again.

Swish!

After finding a perfect position and lurking, he held the “Snow Mud Spiritual Bow”, and put a “Big Claw Spiritual Arrow” on the bow.

The whole movement was smooth!

Almost at the same time, a dangerous breath, like a sharp blade, was so strong that it made Residual Snow squint. He knew that the rival was catching his own breath.

That made him smile wickedly. Had the guy lost patience finally?

Residual Snow pulled the bowstring fully with his fingertips quietly and was ready for the right time. He had absolute self-confidence that he could kill the guy before he was locked upon!

What made Residual Snow frown was that soon the young man hid his breath. The dangerous breath disappeared, as if he wanted to escape again.

"The attitude of hesitation would make you lose your life."

Residual Snow murmured and was ready to stand up and track the rival as before.

Only at this moment, he suddenly sensed that 6,300 meters away, the rival good at hiding suddenly leaked a wisp of subtle breath.

The opportunity came!

By virtue of his assassination experience of many years, Residual Snow could be sure that now the rival must have an accident, and it was most likely that this guy almost used up physical strength!

This was by no means an attempt to seduce the enemy, for no one was stupid enough to expose his breath to the enemy, which was equivalent to killing himself.

Bang!

In a blink of an eye, Residual Snow had made a decision. A "Big Claw Spiritual Arrow" suddenly was fired out like a bright rainbow, rushing through the rain with a dazzling light.

...

Indeed, Lin had an accident, which caught him off guard.

Originally, he was hiding and waiting for a chance to fight back. But before he had done this, he felt his right palm trembled and shook suddenly.

Although it was such a subtle action, it was simply the most fatal flaw in such a dangerous circumstance. Lin Xun squinted and felt terrible.

Subconsciously, Lin was about to evade. But then there was another accident that a flaming light burst out from his right palm suddenly and turned into a soft sphere, on the surface of which seemed to be burning flame.

Immediately, on the surface emerged a pair of round eyes, a round nose, a round mouth and a pair of round ears.

It was Chirps!

Lin opened his eyes widely. He never thought that Chirps, which had slept for months, would wake up unexpectedly at this critical time!

Immediately, Lin’s heart jolted, and a cold feeling of extreme danger, like a sharp blade, welled up inside him. Due to this kind of feeling, all Lin’s pores opened.

He saw that a bright light was approaching!

Damn it!

Lin's face got ghostly pale. Instinctively, he tried to hold Chirps and kept it away from the strike with his own body.

Chirp~

But at such an urgent moment, Chirps suddenly cheered. It jumped up and opened its mouth. Then the bright light was swallowed by it.

Lin was struck dumb with astonishment...

At this time, it was Chirps that protected him!

Lin was shocked. But before he could react, Chirps jumped to the ground like a ball. It kept jumping and chirping, as if it was quite fun.

This little…

Lin was confused.

It was an arrow powerful enough to kill others. But it had been eaten by Chirps!

And it seemed that Chirps was quite happy!

Immediately, Lin Xun came back to earth. Before he could figure it out, he suddenly pulled the Insignificance Longbow and locked upon the enemy in the distance.

This was the best time to fight back!

In the distance of about 6,300 meters away, Residual Snow had planned to pack his things and left. After all, he was confident that Lin would never have a chance to survive at all.

But he had never thought that at the critical moment, one of his "Big Claw Spiritual Arrows" was swallowed by a little monster like a ball!

It was a powerful bow worth 500 silver coins, shot through the "Snow Mud Spiritual Bow" with all his spiritual power. It was powerful enough to kill a practitioner in Heaven-gang Realm. But it was swallowed by a little ball-like monster now!

How was it possible?!

Even though his mind was as hard as a stone, now Residual Snow could not help but be astonished, and his pupils dilated as if he saw a ghost.

It happened so quickly that he wondered if God was kidding himself!

As Residual Snow was in a daze, a breath of extreme danger suddenly covered him. He froze, changed his face, and said, “Something is wrong!”
