The hand of iSeikai

Chapter 23: Assassination

Upon hearing a sudden voice in the heavens and earth, all the black-clad men, including Li Bigu, had their expressions change. Especially when they heard the words "Mr. Li Butt," an icy aura immediately erupted from Li Bigu's body.

Looking at the seven people below, Dawson Lin quickly realized that, besides Li Bigu, the remaining six were actually advanced fighters. Dawson Lin knew very well that with his current strength, it would be impossible to take on these seven powerful experts head-on. His only option was to strike first and eliminate them one by one.

"Young Master Lin, I admit, I've underestimated you. It's hard to imagine that the young master who was once a wastrel in Sunset City is now capable of escaping from a Battle King. You've really opened my eyes."

Li Bigu, staring at the empty forest, felt frustrated. Since childhood, the young master of the Li family had always looked down on them. Just a month ago, he had almost been killed by one of his own schemes. But ever since that incident, Dawson Lin seemed to have completely changed, even managing to escape from a Battle King.

Li Bigu understood well what a Battle King represented. Not to mention Dawson Lin, even the strongest fighter in Sunset City, City Lord Liu Nantian, an advanced battle master, would struggle to avoid the blow of a Battle King. Yet, despite the terrifying power of a Battle King, this same Battle King had failed twice to kill Dawson Lin. This was almost unbelievable to him.

"Mr. Li Butt, there's one thing I don't understand. Who exactly are the black-clad men, and what is their connection to the Lin family?" At this moment, Dawson Lin was determined to figure out one thing: the true origin of these black-clad men and why they were targeting the Lin family.

"Hahaha, so Young Master Lin wants to know the identity of my master? Fine. If Young Master Lin is willing to come out, I'll tell you the truth. How about it?"

Before Li Bigu could finish speaking, a scream that seemed to shake the heavens and earth suddenly echoed from behind him. He quickly turned his head, his face filled with shock at the scene unfolding before him.

Holding a black greatsword, Dawson Lin showed no mercy as he cleaved it into the shoulder of one of the black-clad men. The strike was so powerful that it cleaved the man in two. Blood splattered everywhere, and the other black-clad men, except for Li Bigu, immediately began vomiting in horror at the sight.

Before Li Bigu could react, Dawson Lin's figure disappeared again. With his Five Elements Escape technique, Dawson Lin was confident that even a Battle King wouldn't be able to find him.

Dawson Lin had already decided: although his strength was still insufficient to confront the group head-on, with his Five Elements Escape, he was confident that he could defeat them one by one. Having just slain one black-clad man, he used his Five Elements Escape again to disappear into the forest.

Seizing the opportunity, Dawson Lin reappeared, his black greatsword striking again without mercy. With no surprise, another black-clad man was cleaved in two. The power of the greatsword, combined with the strength of an advanced fighter, was nearly unstoppable. Even Dawson Lin hadn't anticipated how powerful the black greatsword would be.

Watching as two of his subordinates were killed, Li Bigu completely lost his composure. Ever since his cultivation had been forcibly advanced to the Battle Master realm by his master, Li Bigu had thought himself to be unrivaled among the younger generation of Sunset City. That's why he had come today, intending to deal with this wastrel from the Lin family.

But things had gone completely the other way. Not only did Dawson Lin possess such miraculous abilities, but he could also disappear from sight and had just slain two advanced fighters. How could Li Bigu tolerate this?
