Chapter 12

“Young Master Li, you were hard to find!”

Three men in black surrounded Li Yao from different directions.

A Poison Mage, an archer, and a knight carrying a sword and shield.

Li Yao frowned tightly.

As expected, Appraisal couldn't see their levels.

To be able to ignore monsters and calmly track him, their levels were at least 20.

Li Yao pondered secretly.

Except for Goddess Jiang Goddess Jiang Ningyu, he hadn't offended anyone.

Goddess Jiang Goddess Jiang Ningyu’s background didn't have enough power to find these three to kill him.

“Whoosh!”

An arrow shot from the darkness; Li Yao didn't dodge or evade, and the arrow stopped just two centimeters in front of him.

“Oh?”

The black-clad archer, seeing his attack avoided by Li Yao using some unknown method,

sighed with interest.

“As expected of a genius who dares to go to the border alone to level up.”

The next second,

the arrow hanging in front of him exploded with a ‘bang.’

It actually turned into a stream of light and landed on Li Yao.

A huge symbol suddenly appeared above Li Yao’s head, shining brightly in the dark night.

“A mark?”

Li Yao thought of a level 25 general skill for archers.

It could mark a target, track the target’s location, and prevent them from entering stealth.

Once marked by an archer, without corresponding means, it would be very difficult to escape again.

Things having reached this point, Li Yao didn't care.

Or rather, he hadn't thought about escaping at all!

“Don’t worry, I won't run.”

Li Yao smiled faintly, while secretly giving an order to the Void Mantis.

“If it’s convenient, could you tell me why you’re looking for me?”

“You don’t want to run, you can’t run, right?”

The black-clad Poison Mage snorted coldly.

The three of them were all level 25, well-trained, and had hunted together for years; working together, let alone level 5—

Hmm?

The black-clad Poison Mage’s pupils suddenly shook.

“This kid is level 9?!”

“What level 9?”

The black-clad knight was suspicious.

The Poison Mage didn't answer, his face gloomy and terrifying.

Reaching level 9 on the first day of changing classes—what kind of outrageous leveling speed was this?

Such a person could be called a heaven-sent prodigy.

If he wasn't killed today—

“Don’t talk nonsense with him, just do it!”

As he spoke, the black-clad Poison Mage raised his staff, and a brilliant light shot out from it; a huge ball of light rose into the sky, illuminating the surroundings like broad daylight.

Illumination!

They weren't stupid.

Li Yao was a Summoner, but his summon wasn't visible.

He must possess stealth means.

However,

the effect of Illumination triggered, and the three still didn't see Li Yao’s summon.

The other two also realized something was wrong.

The archer jumped onto the building behind him, drawing his bow fully, ready to shoot at any time.

The Poison Mage charged up in place, and the black-clad knight charged directly at Li Yao using a skill.

Seeing this, Li Yao’s expression didn't change in the slightest.

Since they couldn't detect the Void Mantis’s existence, he, with the Chess Player talent,

was in an invincible position!

Seeing Li Yao unmoved,

“Courting death!” The Poison Mage snorted coldly. “Great Fireball!”

A huge fireball with a diameter of one meter, carrying raging flames, flew toward Li Yao.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

At the same time, three arrows mixed with the sound of breaking air, fast as lightning!

The black-clad knight appeared in front of Li Yao, his giant sword held high.

“Boom!”

The three energies merged together and slammed into Li Yao, splashing up a large amount of smoke and dust.

Seeing this,

the Poison Mage put away his staff and sneered with disdain.

He had thought it was some incredible genius, but it turned out to be a useless piece of trash.

However,

a clear voice came from the smoke and dust.

“If you don’t want to say, why don’t I take a guess?”

Li Yao was unscathed, stepping slowly out of the smoke and dust.

“How is that possible!?”

The three men in black saw this scene and couldn't believe it.

They could be certain that their attacks had definitely hit the other party squarely.

To withstand such damage—even if they couldn't one-shot him, how could he not have taken a single point of damage?

Li Yao didn't care about their shock.

He said to himself,

“Calling me ‘Young Master Li,’ you must know I’m the son of the Silver Wolf Guild leader.”

“So you know the consequences of killing me; naturally, you wouldn't take the risk for a Silver treasure chest.”

“And since I haven't offended anyone, it must be that—”

“the talent I revealed touched someone’s interests.”

“And in Jiangzhou, there are only three forces qualified to challenge the Silver Wolf Guild.”

“The City Lord’s Mansion, the Classmate Yuwen family, the Qin family.”

Hearing this, the three pupils constricted sharply.

Li Yao saw it in their eyes, and a curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He seemed to be smiling, but his eyes were ice-cold.

“Kill one!”

As the words fell, the long-hidden Void Mantis suddenly appeared behind the archer.

Its claws crossed and slashed down straight.

[-5943]

The archer professional didn't even have time to scream before he was cut into four pieces by the two claws.

Seeing this scene, the remaining two black-clad men felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

Their brains completely lost the ability to think.

“Alright, can you talk now?”

Li Yao walked toward them slowly, every step feeling like it was stepping on their hearts.

“Which of the three forces is it?”

“No... I can’t say, they’ll kill me!”

The black-clad knight was the first to be unable to withstand Li Yao’s pressure.

He dropped his long sword and collapsed to the ground.

The black-clad Poison Mage stood by, trembling uncontrollably, his thoughts in chaos, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Yao had already seen that this black-clad man holding the staff had much better mental fortitude than the one with the sword and shield.

Since that was the case,

“Void Mantis.”

“Swish!”

Blood splattered.

The scalding blood dyed half of the black-clad knight’s face red.

Witnessing the Poison Mage being killed before his eyes, his pupils were dazed, and he temporarily lost the ability to speak.

“Last time asking, which side?”

Li Yao said coldly.

For those who wanted to kill him, whether they were ordered by others or for whatever reason,

he would definitely leave none alive!

The knight could no longer bear it; he stood up and used his charge skill again and again, running toward the distance.

However,

in just a moment,

a deep purple body appeared in front of him, blocking him in place.

The Void Mantis raised its right claw expressionlessly and slashed slowly toward the black-clad knight.

Seeing the cold claws right in front of him, the knight professional gave up and knelt directly on the ground.

“I’ll say! I’ll say!”

“It’s the head of the Classmate Yuwen family!”

“He learned you were heading to the border alone and gave us a large sum of money to kill you!”

“And then find a way to send us to another city.”
