Chapter 630 Stairs (7)

The person in the different coloured cloak could see the clear hesitation that this person was feeling, but he didn't say anything about it.

Instead, he released a tiny bit of his aura that he pressed down on this person before saying, "Are you thinking about disobeying my orders?"

That person immediately felt like it was hard to breathe and almost fell down onto the ground. In fact, he would have fallen if there wasn't a force that was holding him up against the pressure, not allowing him to fall.

This would have been good, but with this force holding him in place, it was like there were two different pressures fighting against each other, crushing his innards.

If he was kept like this for any longer, it was clear that he would be flattened.

At this thought, that person couldn't help feeling a chill run down their spine.

That person quickly shook their head as they said, "No, no, my lord, I would never dare!"

The person in the different coloured cloak clearly didn't believe this, but he just gave a snort. Then he raised a hand and with a wave, there was a cube that suddenly appeared in his palm. With another wave of his hand, the cube landed right in the hand of the person being suppressed.

The person being suppressed saw this and was confused at first, but then when he felt that aura that came from it, he immediately understood what was happening.

It was at this time that the pressure on him disappeared, so he fell to one knee and said, "I will not fail you, my lord."

The person in the different coloured cloak didn't even look at this person as he waved his hand to send him off.

That person didn't dare delay once the lord had given his order, so he immediately headed off in the direction of the gate that Lin Fan had entered. Of course, he did it in a stealthy manner that only people of the Assassins Association could have done, so no one saw him.

After reaching the gate, he went inside without any hesitation.

After all, he had the item from the lord, there was no chance that he would fail this mission.

…

After entering the gate, the surroundings around Lin Fan changed immediately. The area around him was covered in light before it suddenly faded and he appeared inside of a forest.

It was a completely different forest than the one that he had been in before, the trees here were all a strange purple colour instead of the normal green colour that trees should have been.

In the air, Lin Fan could even feel a bit of a chill, almost as if this place was haunted.

There was nothing around him telling him what he should be doing, but there was a clear path that led through the forest in front of him.

It made it quite clear what the person who designed this trial wanted him to do, but the way that the path looked from afar really seemed suspicious. It was almost as if the person who designed this wanted him to go into the haunted forest to be lost forever among those trees.

Still, there was nothing else for Lin Fan to do since the trees all around him were densely sticking to each other, not giving him any space to move through at all.

Unless he forcefully knocked down the trees, it was impossible for him to go through them.

But he was also certain that if he were to do that, he would definitely be punished by whatever force was residing inside of this forest for going against the purpose of the trial. There was no need for him to do this since he knew that this was a safe trial and he would be able to leave even if he were to fail it.

So without any other thoughts, Lin Fan started heading down the path that cut into the forest.

As he walked down the path, he suddenly felt something from behind him.

It wasn't hard for him to tell that this was another person that had come into the trial and he wasn't surprised by this. After all, this was one of the few trials that had been unlocked, so it was natural that there would be others that came in.

But he had also left one of Brainy's scouts behind just in case the people that entered after him had different ideas.

It was also because of this scout that Lin Fan knew that the person who came in after him was from the Assassins Association, so it could be said that the purpose of leaving the scout had been accomplished.

Lin Fan didn't mind this as he continued forward along the path.

The person from the Assassins Association naturally had his own method of tracking Lin Fan since this was one of the skills that was needed to be an assassin, the ability to track down your target.

But then again, it wouldn't be that hard for him to track Lin Fan down since there was only a single path in this place.

The person from the Assassins Association quickly covered himself in his own laws to stealth himself before quickly moving down the path.

Lin Fan was leisurely making his way down, as if he didn't have a care in the world, so the assassin who was rushing forward was able to quickly catch up to him. Seeing Lin Fan going at his own pace, the assassin couldn't help revealing a smile.

It seemed like this was going to be an easier job than he imagined, maybe he wouldn't even need to use the item that his lord had given him.

While Lin Fan was making his way down the path, the assassin actually passed by him and set up in front of him, preparing to ambush him.

As Lin Fan came closer and closer, the assassin gripped his dagger and prepared to strike. Then when Lin Fan came right in his range, he suddenly felt something wrapping around him.

Before the assassin could react, there was a vine that suddenly threw him right to the ground in front of Lin Fan.

The force of the throw was so strong that it knocked the wind out of him and the stealth around him disappeared, revealing him to Lin Fan.

The assassin looked around himself, but by this time, the vines that had wrapped around him were already gone. He couldn't understand what had just happened, but his surprise didn't last long.

As a trained assassin, he naturally knew how to deal with unexpected situations like this.

Without any hesitation at all, the assassin jumped to his feet while also moving back, landing several meters away from Lin Fan. As he landed, he raised the dagger in his right hand while also pulling out the cube that the lord had given him in his left hand.

Lin Fan was about to say something, but then the cube suddenly flew out at him.

Lin Fan did have fast reactions and immediately started moving out of the trajectory of the cube, but that didn't matter at all as the cube suddenly expanded. It grew in size until it formed a giant net that completely covered Lin Fan.

This net didn't just cover him, but rather it also covered the space around him, not giving him any chance to escape being trapped by this net.

Using the trees around, the four corners of the net wrapped around the trees to form a cage around Lin Fan, trapping him where he had been standing previously.

When Lin Fan saw this cage appear around him, he just calmly came up to the cage to feel the material of the cage trapping him. However, the moment that his hand made contact with the cage, there was a sharp shock that suddenly ran down his hand.

This show started out weak, but it got stronger and stronger until he had no choice but to let go or let his hand be burned by the shock.

Seeing this, the assassin revealed a triumphant look as he started to approach the trapped Lin Fan, raising his dagger in a menacing manner.

Lin Fan could see that there was no need to say anything since it was clear that this person wasn't in the mood to talk, so he raised his hand and pulled out the white dagger. However, when he was about to use his laws, he found that he wasn't able to release them at all.

Rather, it was almost as if all the energy in the space around him had been frozen by some strange power, so he couldn't draw on the natural life energy around him to form his laws.

Even when he released his spiritual sense, as soon as it left his body, it seemed to freeze in the space around him just like the life energy.

The assassin was naturally able to sense the slight changes in Lin Fan's aura showing that he was trying to fight back, but seeing nothing happen at all, he couldn't help finding this funny.

After all, someone like this kid wanted to go against their lord?

Come back in a thousand years!

Still there was no need for him to show any mercy even though he was clearly at an advantage now.

After all, his job was to kill Lin Fan and not just capture him.

As he came closer, Lin Fan could clearly see what his intentions were, but he didn't panic at all.

Rather he revealed a smile when he saw him approaching.
