The assassin nicknamed Blood Thorn, Soul Blood Hall, was currently lying low in a pile of withered grass. His body was emitting an aura that was extremely similar to the withered grass, as though he was one and hid it extremely well.
This was a must for a qualified assassin. He needed to make full use of the surrounding environment to conceal himself.
Ever since he had found Lin Hao yesterday, he had been staring at his from a distance.
Anyone who was alone in the mountains would be on their guard.
Therefore, he did not choose to make a move immediately.
He had been waiting for the right moment.
He had spent the night in peace with his guard up. Now that the darkness had disappeared and the sun was rising, he would be able to relax.
It was also the best time for him to make a move.
Even if his cultivation was at the eighth level of Elemental Core Stage, far surpassing the target of this assassination attempt, he was an assassin and his method of fighting was to take advantage of his unprepared body and succeed in an assassination attempt, not in a direct confrontation.
From this point, he fit the identity of the killer better than the man who dealt with Lin Hao and was killed by him.
He found Lin Hao and started to move again. It was just like yesterday, as if he was looking for something.
This time, Freezing Sky Sect Fang Yihai entrusted Soul Blood Hall with the assassination attempt on Lin Hao and did not tell them the purpose of this trip to Lin Hao. As a result, the people from Soul Blood Hall also did not know what Lin Hao was planning to do.
However, no matter what Lin Hao's goal was, it was not important to the Soul Blood Hall or the assassin blood thorn.
In their opinion, there was only one important thing, and that was to kill the target!
And now, the Blood Stinger felt that he would soon succeed.
Lin Hao was getting closer and closer to his position.
Even at this moment, the assassin's heart was still calm. His aura did not fluctuate at all.
He had already made his preparations, as long as Lin Hao got any closer, he would immediately make his move!
However.
At this moment, a cool breeze blew past.
A very normal wind.
There was nothing special about him at all.
But just as the breeze blew past, Lin Hao who was staring closely at the blood thorn suddenly disappeared!
He was startled and immediately looked in another direction.
"Are you looking for me?"
A calm voice came out from behind the blood thorn. The blood thorn was startled and immediately jumped up from the grass, turning around, he realized that the Lin Hao it was looking for was looking for him with a calm expression.
At this moment, the Blood Thorn's heart was in turmoil.
He was good at concealment and speed, but not only was he discovered right now, he was also extremely certain that Lin Hao's speed had far surpassed his earlier own. An ominous premonition arose in his heart.
Even if his cultivation was higher than Lin Hao's, at this time, the blood thorns would not dare to take the risk to fight him.
As an assassin who specialized in assassinations, after being discovered by his target, he had already lost his greatest advantage and stood on the edge of failure. Thus, his figure flashed, and he was about to leave this place with a unique Soul Blood Hall movement technique.
Lin Hao knew that the movement skill of his Soul Blood Hall was strange, if not, he would not have used disguise to make the assassin turn careless after discovering the aura of the blood thorn long ago, and used it to get closer.
At this distance, no matter how powerful Soul Blood Hall was, they could forget about escaping from Lin Hao's sword.
When the blood thorns retreated, Lin Hao had already taken out his sword.
The sword energy was like a rainbow.
A whistling sound of a sharp sword piercing through the sky resounded between the heavens and the earth.
The blood thorns realized that they were completely locked on by Lin Hao's sword, and immediately held a dagger in each hand, crossing them in front of their bodies.
"Clang!"
Lin Hao's sword stabbed right at the center of the cross blade.
In that moment, the powerful Sword Element s erupted from the tip of her sword. The Wind Sword Intent s unleashed them, and with a clang, two of her daggers cut them off, and then, the Heavenly Marks Sword s took the chance and went forward, reaching the neck area of the blood thorns.
At the most critical moment, the blood spear tilted its head and dodged Lin Hao's sharp sword.
Lin Hao's wrist shook, the sword force suddenly changed, and swept across.
The reaction of the Blood Thorn was indeed outstanding amongst all the opponents Lin Hao had met. However, he still managed to react and shrank back a little.
However, even though he had a way to deal with it, he still could not change the outcome. With a "Chi" sound, the Heavenly Marks Sword's sword tip swept past.
When Lin Hao's sword returned into the sword sheath.
The blood thorn remained motionless on the spot.
Upon a closer look, a long, thin line of blood was seeping out of his neck.
Gradually, the blood that was seeping out began to spurt out. The bloody thorn's head slowly slid down from its neck, and with a bang, it crashed onto the ground.
After killing this person, Lin Hao immediately went towards the Freezing Sky Holy Land entrance that he found last night. Using the Three Colds Genuine Arts as a guide, he opened the entrance, and saw that the deep pit that was originally created by the giant boulder seemed to have turned into a mirror. Through this' mirror ', he could see another snow-white world.
Lin Hao's figure flashed, he transformed into a flowing light, and rushed into the 'mirror', and in a blink of an eye, the 'mirror' disappeared, turning back into the pit.
— —
The place where the Soul Lamp s were stored in Soul Blood Hall.
Following the death of the blood thorn, another corresponding Soul Lamp was extinguished.
Although the guard of the Soul Lamp was wearing a blood-colored mask and his appearance could not be seen, from his mouth, one could tell how angry he was.
Originally, he thought that it would be an easy task for a thousand Superior Grade Source Stone to assassinate a brat with Fifth Level of Elemental Core Stage. He never thought that he would lose two assassins in a row, especially the guy who died a while ago called Blood Thorn. To this Hall of Souls And Blood Branch, it was equivalent to the importance of many core disciples with Sect.
It was not easy to nurture an assassin, especially one with potential!
Therefore, the person guarding the Soul Lamp left this dark room and went to report to the Hall Master in the Hall of Souls And Blood Branch.
This structure of the Hall of Souls And Blood Branch gave off a deathly still feeling. The wood materials were all dyed red with blood, and the fake mountains that were piled up, were all formed from countless white bones.
Moreover, no matter where he went, he could feel the Yin wind blowing. Inside the Yin wind, there were miserable screams as if someone was suffering from this endless torment.
He rushed to the Hall Master and reported the matter of the Blood Thorn carrying out its mission to Hall Master.
After hearing the report, the position of the eyes on the blood-colored mask that the Hall Master was wearing, released two beams of blood-colored light. With an extremely dark and gloomy voice, he said, "Fighting against a fellow with Fifth Level of Elemental Core Stage, he has failed consecutively, and is simply a group of trash. You have to immediately arrange for a Blood Slaughter Group to send a person to kill this brat called Lin Hao!"
"Yes sir!" The guard of the Soul Lamp was clearly trembling as he hastily replied.
Just at this time, a figure flashed and appeared in front of the Hall Master. This person was young, and wore a black cape, his appearance was feminine. He took out a black order badge in his hand, and on it was carved the word 'Shadow'.
When the Hall Master of Soul Blood Hall saw the command medallion, his entire body shivered, and immediately bowed his head, saying: "This subordinate pays his respects to the Holy Son."
This person was precisely Wei Ying, who had come to carry out a mission under the orders of the Soul Blood Hall's Main Hall Master a few days ago!
