The Human Emperor (1-200)

C133: Take Down!

“Not good!”

Shen Hai’s heart fell into the cold abyss. After neutralizing the female assassin’s attack, Wang Chong didn’t come to group up with them. Instead, he escaped swiftly into the depths of the forest.

Even the group of them weren’t a match for the female assassin. Wasn’t facing her alone no different from suicide?

“The young master is in danger! Stop her! ——”

Upon seeing that Wang Chong was in danger, everyone disregarded their lives and charged straight at the Eastern Islands female assassin. However, they weren’t speed-based martial artists and their cultivation was inferior to her as well, so how could they possibly catch up with the other party?

“Hmph!”

Sneering coldly, the Eastern Islands female assassin didn’t pay them any heed. It would take a miracle for these guards could catch up to her.

In her eyes, only one person mattered—Wang Chong.

However, to her dismay, the swordsmanship the lad had learned was extremely peculiar, and it granted him bizarre and unreadable movements. The concept behind it was completely different from any other techniques she knew. He was able to change his directions freely, and to her astonishment, it wasn’t inferior to the Spectre Steps at all.

Despite her capability and the advantageous terrain, she found herself being unable to catch up with the other party at the moment!

“Let’s see where you can escape to!”

The Eastern Islands female assassin gritted her teeth furiously. That ridiculously strong gray-robed middle-aged man had been lured away by her, so she was safe at the moment. However, it wouldn’t be long before he returns, and before that happens, she had to take down this young lad. Once she did so, the other party wouldn’t be able to make a move on her.

Peng!

The right leg of the Eastern Islands female assassin pushed against the bucket-thick tree trunk in an attempt spring straight toward Wang Chong, as though an arrow on a drawn bowstring, when a dull thud suddenly sounded. Before many people’s astonished eyes, the Eastern Islands female assassin fell uncontrollably from the tree and smashed heavily onto the floor.

Sss!

At the same time, a black slithering bizarre snake with a triangle-like head which was previously camouflaged with the tree trunk fell from the tree, and it swiftly darted straight for the depths of the forest and disappeared.

“Be careful, it’s a Dark Mamba!”

From the back, a farmer shouted in alarm as he pointed at the escaping snake. Fear clearly shone through his face. The other guards of the Wang Family Residence might be unaware of its identity, but he happened to be familiar with it.

This snake possessed incredibly lethal poison, and as long as it draws blood, it won’t be long before the other party breathes his last.

“It’s a poisonous snake! It’s a poisonous snake!”

Shen Hai and Meng Long immediately reacted as well. When they were entering the mountains, the young master had told them that there were a lot of poisonous snakes here, and they had to be careful.

To think that the poisonous snakes would end up doing them a huge favor, biting that female assassin instead of them. This female assassin possessed incredible skills, and utilizing her supreme speed-based secret arts, she was able to maneuver around the forest freely, ‘flying’ here and there. No one could have thought that she would actually lose to a mere poisonous snake on her home ground.
