Chapter 53

Su Ming remained expressionless; after neutralizing the three killing skills, he didn't even catch his breath!

He flicked his hand with a graceful motion.

The Shadow Flow Sword in mid-air spun and flew back, circling his body for protection.

Subsequently, the spirit blade also flew to his side, rotating, circling, and hovering around him.

Liya, standing to the side, watched this scene with wide, stunned eyes.

This human... was actually this powerful.

Even, a little handsome.

According to the aesthetics of the beast-kin, a handsome man must be burly and sturdy, like an ox.

Su Ming was lean and thin; how could he possibly be associated with the word "handsome" by beast-kin standards?

But after seeing Su Ming, she felt that her own aesthetic sense had changed somewhat.

"You... how are you so strong?"

She was extremely shocked, then immediately asked.

"Who are these people, and why are they attacking you!"

She looked at the people around them with a look of astonishment.

"Why are you all fighting each other?"

"Aren't you all of the same race?"

She cautiously ran behind Su Ming to hide, while looking at the group and asking.

Su Ming fell silent and did not answer her.

Fighting each other...

Perhaps, this is just how humans are in their bones.

"You just said... the words 'Young Master'."

"So you were sent by Zhang Tang as assassins?"

Su Ming looked around at the group and said coldly.

As he spoke, he stepped forward and stomped on the face of the Ice Swordsman in front of him.

He pressed his head into the mud.

The man looked pained, yet filled with rage, gritting his teeth as he tried to stand up.

He was a second-turner, after all!

But because he was severely injured, he could not break free.

In the end, he could only be pinned down firmly by Su Ming's foot.

He wanted to take out a potion to drink and treat the wound on his chest.

Slap!

The spirit blade flew out directly, shattering his potion.

He had no way to treat his wounds.

After the Shadow Flow Sword pierced his chest, his mental energy was leaking out constantly, so he couldn't even cast skills now.

The Brutal Warrior also had a wound on his shoulder, caused earlier by Su Ming using the Profound Sharp Sword.

Su Ming, one against three, was unscathed while severely injuring three second-turn assassins!

Judging by his movements, he still seemed to have plenty of energy to spare.

This level of strength left them not only surprised but also terrified.

They couldn't help but look at him with wariness!

"You do have some strength."

"But we were just careless earlier; do you really think you can take on three people?"

The female mage raised her head in a disheveled state, looking at Su Ming with eyes full of killing intent!

She had been severely injured by Su Ming's sword earlier and was nearly at death's door.

Therefore, she had used her most important and precious healing potion, worth 100,000 Arrival Coins.

It could instantly heal most injuries.

If she hadn't drunk that, and had used a regular healing potion instead, she would have died before it could even take effect.

That was why she was so furious!

She had paid a huge price; even if she killed Su Ming, she might not break even.

So, even if just to vent her anger, she had to kill Su Ming today!

She raised her hand and gripped, and a green barrier appeared, enveloping the Ice Swordsman.

As a Barrier Mage, she was most skilled in barrier-type spells.

Protective barriers, defensive barriers, healing barriers, imprisonment barriers.

Whether attacking, protecting teammates, or restricting enemies, she could achieve it all through barriers!

The green barrier immediately separated Su Ming's sole from the swordsman's face.

Then, it began to slowly heal his body.

This swordsman was named Song Buqing, and his attributes were also quite high.

His main stat was Agility, with Strength as a secondary.

It was just a pity that he had been severely wounded by the Shadow Flow Sword and had no strength left, which was why he had to endure the humiliation of being under Su Ming's foot.

Su Ming stared at the barrier, a calm killing intent rising in his eyes.

"I didn't expect Zhang Tang to be so impatient."

"He sent people to kill me right after I finished the novice dungeon."

Su Ming remained expressionless as he delivered a strike with the Shadow Flow Sword.

Pfft!

This sword pierced directly through the healing barrier.

Then, it struck and pierced through the Ice Swordsman's head!

This strike was a clean kill.

Song Buqing died with his eyes wide open.

The female mage and the Brutal Warrior's eyes trembled instantly.

"One strike... and he shattered Wang Yu's barrier!?"

"Damn it, even someone at level 25, nearing the third turn, couldn't do that."

"And it was just one sword!"

The Brutal Warrior's face turned pale; a sense of fear grew in his heart!

At this moment, he was certain that this guy was definitely not a first-turn professional!

He might not even be a newcomer from this year at all!

The assassination mission Young Master Zhang Tang gave them was actually a suicide mission!

Looking at his companion's corpse, he felt a sense of panic!

When a person panics, their combat judgment immediately slows down.

And Su Ming was best at seizing these opportunities.

With a cold expression, he lifted his hand and gripped the sword blade.

Then he took a step forward!

The Lingbo Micro-steps were fully unleashed.

His movements were outrageously fast, almost leaving afterimages.

The rain filling the sky swirled around him, blown into rotation by his body's momentum.

It almost faintly formed a simple rain-based hexagram diagram.

Where his feet touched, light ripples spread out.

Before even a blink of an eye had passed.

Su Ming had already arrived right in front of him.

The Brutal Warrior looked at Su Ming, who was right before him, and felt extreme horror.

"What... what kind of movement technique is this?!"

"How could it be this fast? It's almost equivalent to teleportation!"

"I must quickly activate my Steel Skin skill, otherwise I definitely won't be able to resist this sword!"

In this instant, these three thoughts appeared in his mind.

He raised his hands and activated Steel Skin.

Clack!

Su Ming's sword slashed directly onto his neck.

A metallic sound rang out right beside his ear.

"Thank goodness, I managed to defend in time!"

He let out a sigh of relief; if Su Ming's sword had struck without any defense, he would have died for sure.

Su Ming, however, kept his eyes calm.

[Steel Skin]?

He had anticipated it long ago.

Using the Eye of Insight to see through everyone's skills allowed Su Ming to always maintain control of the battle!

Cutting through steel was not a difficult task for Su Ming!

He flicked his wrist, fully activating the Entangled Thunder Sword Art.

Swish!

Coupled with the special texture of the Shadow Flow Sword, which could bypass physical materials to reach the origin and cause shadow damage,

the Brutal Warrior's Steel Skin didn't have much effect!

This sword slashed directly across his throat.

No blood flowed out.

Instead, a pitch-black liquid oozed out.

When the Steel Skin skill is activated, the entire body's blood also becomes specialized.

The Brutal Warrior stared blankly, unable to believe he had been throat-slit.

His health dropped by 60% instantly.

"No... I can't die!"
