Chapter 133: Status

Chapter 133: Status

"Be cautious of the shadows beneath your feet." It was the experienced Li Nu who first noticed the signs of danger.

The group of cultivators panicked as they witnessed their companions being inexplicably attacked and killed. Upon hearing Li Nu's warning, they all focused their attention on the shadows beneath their feet.

With their guard up, the effectiveness of the ambush was greatly diminished.

As they concentrated on the shadows, they unintentionally loosened their guard around Meng Zhang. Taking advantage of the situation, Meng Zhang launched another fierce attack, even with Li Nu trying to restrain them, two cultivators still got injured.

In a shadow nearby, Jue Ying revealed her figure.

Jue Ying was a highly skilled assassin, proficient in stealth and assassination techniques. She was a formidable adversary.

Despite it being their first cooperation, she and Meng Zhang displayed remarkable synchronization, acting in perfect harmony.

Jue Ying held a thin dagger-like weapon, about half a foot long, pitch-black from hilt to tip. Though inconspicuous in appearance, its killing power was astonishing.

She casually tossed several talismans into the air, transforming them into massive stones that came crashing down on the crowd.

Taking advantage of the diversion, Jue Ying's figure vanished again.

This time, she didn't use the Shadow Shifting technique; her body didn't appear within the shadows. Instead, she employed Earth Travel, sinking into the ground. She traveled underground for a distance and then suddenly burst out from the earth, appearing behind two cultivators.

Two sprays of blood burst forth, and two more lives were claimed.

Jue Ying's abilities left her comrade Meng Zhang amazed. Her ingenious and skillful assassination techniques, along with the flexible application of various spells and skills, were truly impressive.The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñòv€l-B1n.

Based on Jue Ying's current performance, if confronted head-on, Meng Zhang might not be her match. However, facing her sneak attacks and assassinations from behind, even Meng Zhang would find it challenging to deal with.

Working together, Meng Zhang and Jue Ying became much stronger. Despite being only two people, they systematically slaughtered the enemy, overwhelming their numerically superior opponents.

Although Meng Zhang's Cultivation Base was slightly stronger than Jue Ying's, when it came to efficiency in killing, he fell far behind. Most of the corpses lying on the ground were the result of Jue Ying's actions.

Jue Ying promptly applied pressure points on Li Nu's body, temporarily easing his pain and stopping the bleeding.

"Li Nu, are you truly a disciple of Flying Swan Sect?" Meng Zhang inquired.

"Yes, I am a disciple of Flying Swan Sect," Li Nu replied intermittently.

Meng Zhang didn't believe a word of this cunning fox's words. He had already destroyed Li Nu's Dantian with that palm, crippling his entire Cultivation Base.

Outwardly asking questions, Meng Zhang secretly activated his Mind Reading Divine Ability to probe Li Nu's thoughts. Normally, he wouldn't be able to read the mind of a Refining Qi ninth level cultivator, but Li Nu's Cultivation Base had been utterly ruined, and he was now heavily injured, causing his willpower to crumble.

Although it was challenging, Meng Zhang successfully read Li Nu's thoughts.

"Meng Zhang, as long as you spare me, I can introduce you to Flying Swan Sect..." Unaware that Meng Zhang could read his mind, Li Nu tried to deceive him.

Meng Zhang casually asked some questions to distract Li Nu's attention while covertly focusing all his efforts on using Mind Reading to access Li Nu's thoughts.

Once he had gathered enough information from Li Nu's mind, Meng Zhang didn't bother to continue the conversation and directly beheaded him with a single sword strike.

Looking at Li Nu's expression of disbelief and unavenged death, Meng Zhang sneered. At this point, even if you were the Sect Master of Flying Swan Sect's father, this is the only fate awaiting you.

As expected, Li Nu had been boasting; he did have a connection with Flying Swan Sect but was not an official disciple. He was merely an undercover scout.

Flying Swan Sect had many scouts like Li Nu, who had no apparent connection to the sect. They either acted as loose cultivators or belonged to some minor clans and sects. These scouts were secretly controlled by Flying Swan Sect and scattered throughout the Endless Sea of Sand to gather information for the sect, particularly to monitor Twin Success Valley.

Li Nu's identity was unknown even to his subordinates. Many years ago, he came here incognito and became affiliated with Twin Success Valley.

Appearing like a fence-sitter, he attached himself to the Li family like a clown. However, in secret, he collected various information on behalf of Flying Swan Sect, especially regarding Twin Success Valley's activities.

Initially, Li Nu was merely observing Twin Success Valley as part of his routine duties. However, in recent years, some unusual movements within Twin Success Valley had caught his attention.
