However, Ling Yan had never expected that Wang Ba would want to get back at him. However, he was not here, and the unknown enemy that had appeared at the foot of the Great South Mountain was actually from the Ouyang Family, the number one super family in South Tong City — Ouyang Chao.

Ouyang Chao was actually vindictive to this extent!

Ling Yan had chosen to sit in an open area not too far away from the forest. There was only a distance of about ten meters between them. This distance was something that could be covered in the blink of an eye for a Mortal Stage Level 3 martial artist.

At this moment, Ling Yan's breathing slowed down. He could feel that the commotion beside him had suddenly disappeared. It was likely that that person had already stopped, hiding not too far away from him and coldly staring at him.

Ling Yan's heart was in his throat for a moment. He could not help but slightly tighten his muscles. Whether the person who came was a friend or foe, he would know soon enough!

Somewhere in the forest, behind a big tree, a figure stood quietly. Through the gaps in the trees, he looked at Ling Yan who was meditating in the clearing with his eyes closed. Seeing that Ling Yan was not aware of the danger, a cruel smile appeared on his face.

He was the weakest of the eight bodyguards under Ouyang Chao. His cultivation was at the third level of the Common Birth Stage, and Ouyang Chao's order was to take Ling Yan's life!

He had carried out several missions, and each time he had killed a person whose cultivation base was lower than his own. However, he was cautious by nature, and paid particular attention to killing the enemy in a one hit kill, so as to not alert the enemy and not make a move in the future.

After all, relatively speaking, only the first time to kill someone was the highest success rate, because the person who was killed was not prepared for it. If the first time to kill failed, then that person would definitely be on guard, and there would be countless of ways to protect his or her life.

The previous few times, he had completed the mission in one go, and this time, against a kid at the first level of the Mortal Realm, it was still as easy as before!

Although he knew that with his cultivation, even if he were to face them head on, Ling Yan would not be able to create any trouble, but he still liked the look of shock and terror on the face of the person who ambushed him and the person who was killed.

After looking at Ling Yan for a while, he slowly took out a wooden bow from behind him. Afterwards, an iron arrow was nocked onto the bow. The bowstring was taut, and the cold arrow was aimed precisely at Ling Yan's head!

As the true essence in his body slightly rose, the metallic arrow suddenly glowed with a silvery light. The guard opened his mouth and let go!

"Swoosh!"

A stream of light rapidly flew across the air, bringing with it a gorgeous silver radiance, and shot towards Ling Yan's head at lightning speed!

The guard wore a smile on his face. In the next moment, he could see a brilliant picture of his brain rupturing and his head bleeding.

Suddenly, the guard's expression changed. He tilted his head to the side, and a fist-sized rock flew past his ear, smashing against a tree behind him with a dull thud.

He immediately regained his senses and discovered that there was a figure rapidly leaving in front of him. Ling Yan, who was originally sitting on the ground, had already disappeared.

"Humph, you want to run? In your dreams!"

The guard's expression turned cold and his body moved. He immediately turned into a gust of wind and swiftly headed in the direction that Ling Yan had fled in. He chased after him!
