1088 Chapter 1088 - The wrong choice
As Goil Hon fled into the distance, Aiden retracted his Black Tortoise phenomenon.
The support of a Martial Master phenomenon requires immense expenditure of spirit energy. Now that the outcome was determined, there was no need for Aiden to maintain his Martial Master phenomenon everywhere he went.
However, the moment he retracted his Black Tortoise phenomenon, he sensed an immense danger that was close by!
Aiden did not have time to check it out.
The person struck at a perfect moment when his defenses were at its weakest – it was also the moment when he was the most relaxed!
There was already no one within a hundred feet of his battle with Goil Hon.
Aiden had not expected anyone to close in to him stealthily and attack without warning! nOVelB1n
The killing intent enveloped him immediately and it was chilling to the bones!
If he had not trained the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness and possessed his unpredictable spirit perception, Aiden would not have been able to react and would have died on the spot!
This could be considered a perfect assassination attempt!
Although he did not turn to look, a figure crossed Aiden's mind. Someone whose attire was indeterminate and had shifting appearances; a woman at times, a child at times, an elderly person at times...
The assassin of Hidden Death Sect!
Only a legacy disciple of Hidden Death Sect could have the insight to launch such a frightening assassination attempt!
Aiden fought against the most prominent successors of Hidden Death Sect twice and each time was equally treacherous.
20 years ago, Aiden only managed to kill the Thousand-faced Assassin beneath the Human Emperor's Palace!
To think that an assassin of Hidden Death Sect would leech onto him in the ancient battlefield again and try to claim his life immediately upon striking!
"Ah!"
A series of exclamations broke out from the crowd.
"Mister...!"
"Bro!"
"Aiden, watch out!"
Little Fox, the spirit tiger, and everyone else did not have time to move and could only shout.
Shen Ton had just taken a half-step forward before he stopped.
It was already too late.
Nobody could save Aiden.
The sword of the assassin was inches away from Aiden!
A wary look flashed through Shen Ton's eyes – this was the true terror of a legacy disciple of Hidden Death Sect!
If he was in Aiden's position, he would be doomed from this assassination as well!
There was nothing much to offend an ordinary martial artist.
However, if one offended an assassin, one would never have a moment of peace in their future unless either one of the parties was truly dead!
Right here, right now!
The assassin was decisive without any hint of panic in his eyes. He abandoned his thin sword and turned to flee, scurrying into the distance without touching the ground.
His movement technique resembled a ghost and he would disappear from one's line of sight if one was careless!
"You're still trying to escape?"
Aiden withdrew the long sword from his body and stuffed it into his storage bag.
A stream of blood spewed out but Aiden ignored it.
His physique was way too strong that an injury like this would not impact him much – he would recover on his own before long.
In a flash, Aiden chased in the direction of the assassin.
"Om... Ma... Ni... Pa... Mi... Hom!"
Aiden released the six Prayer words of the Daring Mantra immediately, bursting like thunder!
A single word was enough to affect the assassin.
Now that all six words of the Daring Mantra were released, a terrifying power was formed in the voids!
A golden, holy light flashed and the energy reverberated endlessly!
"Pfft!"
Against the shock of the Prayer words, the assassin spat out a mouthful of blood and instantly revealed his position.
"You're far weaker compared to the Thousand-faced Assassin!"
Before his sentence was finished, Aiden had already arrived behind the person. He reached out and punched the assassin heavily on the back!
Snap!
A tremendous power almost snapped the assassin, causing a lump to protrude from his chest in a shocking manner!
That single punch severed the life of the assassin!
Thump!
The assassin fell forward stiffly.
Aiden arrived beside him and put away the latter's storage bag. He then reached out and kicked the assassin's corpse to flip it.
The assassin was naturally unable to maintain Hidden Death Sect's secret skill after his death and his appearance was revealed.
He was an ordinary person.
His features could not have been any more ordinary.
He was someone that would not be noticed at all when thrown into a crowd.
Although Aiden had just seen how this person looked, the moment he closed his eyes, he could not even remember the person's face!
Someone like that was a natural-born assassin!
However, it was a pity that he chose the wrong prey!
