Chapter 1178 - 1146: The Person Behind You
Chapter 1146 The Person Behind You
Flowy’s entire body was covered by a purple robe, even his head was cloaked, with only the tip of his nose exposed. This deep purple, tinged with black, gave off a mystical aura, and this person was no exception, his presence was imbued with a sense of the surreal that made Xiao Lin feel a profound sense of danger. The pure purple sword in Flowy’s hand hung casually, yet it exuded an icy chill, not as a physical sensation, but as an inner trembling, as if the twin eyes of Hell’s Grim Reaper had locked onto him, ready to claim his soul and life at any moment.
Xiao Lin’s eyes remained fixed on the person before him, his fingers unconsciously drawing slow arcs with the pointed spikes in his hands, and his entire aura contracted sharply, contracted, and contracted again... like a beast poised to pounce, or like a bomb on the verge of explosion.
Flowy, who was completely different from before, which one of them was he in truth? That sharp killing intent was something Xiao Lin had never encountered since his debut, and under the immense pressure, it felt as if the flow of blood within his entire body had slowed, this was someone else apart from Mu Rongyun that made him feel fear.
After a few seconds of staring at each other, Flowy’s lips slowly curved into a faint, indiscernible arc, more like a cold smile than a genuine one. A hoarse, icy voice slipped into Xiao Lin’s ears as Flowy’s lips barely parted, "The Xiao Family found quite a successor, but... what a pity, everyone still has to return to their rightful places. Xiao Lin, are you sure this place belongs to you?"
"Who are you!" Xiao Lin asked coldly, not intimidated by the evident danger of this person, instead, his killing intent surged, and his fighting spirit soared. Even his voice had changed, and this person seemed to know a lot about the Xiao Family and his own background, yet his words seemed to imply something.
Flowy opened his mouth as if to laugh silently, then lightly tapped his foot, drifting toward the right side of the cliff.
Xiao Lin’s expression turned icy as his legs tightened, ready to chase after Flowy without hesitation, but just as he took a step forward, he stopped abruptly, eyes locked on the purple figure not far away.
Despite the distance, the sharp killing intent emanating from this person still sent a shiver through Xiao Lin, like countless Silver Needles lightly touching his skin.
Such terrifying killing intent, there’s no way it’s from the Assassin Group, it was a hatred-filled intent, and he definitely didn’t recognize this person!
Flowy... who exactly is he??!! Is he truly called Flowy? Is he really from the Assassin Group?
In Xiao Lin’s moment of doubt, Flowy glanced at him and made a throat-slitting gesture.
Gripping the spikes tightly, the anger in Xiao Lin’s heart grew stronger.
Hmph! After a faint snort, Flowy dove into the forest below the cliff without a sound, like a specter.
Elusive and bizarre! Unbelievable!
Xiao Lin, without any hesitation, followed by jumping off the cliff, pursuing in Flowy’s direction, determined not to let him go, no matter who he was, he had to take him down.
"Lin!" Yale Guards shouted as he saw Xiao Lin jump down, though he didn’t understand what happened with that person, someone who could make Xiao Lin lose his composure like this reminded him of Mu Rongyun.
On the cliff was Yale Guards’ cry, but Xiao Lin ignored it, continuing to chase Flowy, who seemed deliberate, always appearing just as he was about to lose sight of him. Soon, they arrived at a beach, where the seawater had scattered, making it soft and slippery.
Before Xiao Lin could find his footing, Flowy’s long sword danced up, slashing down, left, right, piercing like a torrential assault, with punches and kicks in between, a complete offensive that gave a sense of unbreachable strength.
Xiao Lin flickered left and right, his spikes flying up and down, skillfully yet fiercely intercepting what seemed to be Flowy’s piercing attacks.
Suddenly, Xiao Lin’s right-hand spike parried Flowy’s sword, while his left hand, precise like a dry well searching for the moon, intercepted the right hand aimed at his lower abdomen.
Clang! Boom!
The back-and-forth assault between the two abruptly stopped, halting Flowy’s offense, as Xiao Lin shifted and appeared at his side with a powerful sweep kick viciously striking Flowy’s ankle.
Flowy staggered back unbalanced, and Xiao Lin, having struck, let out a fierce shout, swiftly reappearing before Flowy, with his left arm like a rigid iron rod, fiercely pounding Flowy’s chest.
With a muffled groan, Flowy was immediately swept away by Xiao Lin. Ah... with a shudder of his spikes, Xiao Lin roared like an enraged rhino charging forward, thundering amidst the storm, and charged straight toward Flowy, who had been thrown away.
As soon as he hit the ground, Flowy quickly stood up, his throat loosened, blood gushed out uncontrollably, and a searing pain in his chest made him stagger as if his ribs were broken.
No, this person isn’t the one just now, the aura is completely different, although still murderous, that fear-inducing presence is gone. His dark eyes suspiciously observed Flowy before him, bewildered and unable to comprehend what was happening.
He initially wanted to halt his advance to dodge, yet the looming Flowy, his face somewhat twisted, burst forth with the initial formidable aura as if reborn, leaving Xiao Lin no choice but to face him with all his might.
Life-or-death moment!!! Critical timing!!!
Bang...
Under the collision of great force, Flowy’s previously prominent nose was deeply submerged into his face, with blood gushing out like a fountain at the moment Xiao Lin’s head retreated.
Bam, with another dull thud, Xiao Lin swung a leg and directly kicked Flowy away.
With a blow dizzying his head, his eyes now splattered with blood, even when confused, in pain, he was unlike ordinary men at this life-and-death moment filled with terror and survival urgency, instead he became even calmer; while being thrown away, he estimated in imagination that Xiao Lin must be coming with a killer move, when he felt a fierce wind about to reach, a twist of the waist, his body flung aside, narrowly evading Xiao Lin’s spike aimed at his head.
Poof... the spike pierced into the flesh, separating blood and flesh. Flowy narrowly escaped the threat of beheading, yet Xiao Lin’s spike lodged in his shoulder, the cold spike scraped along his upper arm bones, allowing Flowy, avoiding death narrowly, to fully comprehend what true separation of flesh and bone meant!
Crash... though Flowy reacted swiftly to avoid disaster, the severe pain in his right arm caused his body to tense, his face to turn pale, making even breathing difficult to sustain.
