Chapter 1 Shark Hunting Blade, the number one assassin in the Star Luo Empire!
Boom!
There was an extremely dull rumble in the sky covered with dark clouds, the cold wind rolled up the fallen leaves and wreaked havoc on everything around it, and the continuous rain added a bit of depression to the city.
Wuhun City, the mountain behind the Pope's Palace.
Lightning was like a shining blade, cutting through the dark silence, reflecting on the girl's porcelain doll-like angelic face.
The girl grasped the corners of her clothes with both hands and kept retreating. Her face was covered in panic, and her petite body was shaking uncontrollably.
"You...who are you?"
Qian Renxue looked at the stern-looking young man in front of her, holding two blades.
The young man wore messy black hair and a blue hood that slightly covered his eyes. The hunting blade in his hand was still bleeding, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood.
"I have no name."
"Only the code name, Lan."
Lan said softly.
Lan looked at the little girl in front of him, and there was a moment of trance in his cold eyes.
Is this the goal of his mission
Lan slowly walked towards Qian Renxue,
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Qian Renxue's breathing became more rapid.
"You... don't come here. My father is the Pope of Wuhun Palace. He is the most powerful person on the continent, and my two uncles are both titled Douluo..."
The young Qian Renxue kept moving out of his backstage, trying to scare Lan away.
But,
Lan's footsteps did not stop because of this.
Because he has been managing in Wuhun City for three months, every move and schedule of Qian Renxue and the two titled Douluo beside him has been clearly monitored by him.
Just before the mission,
Lan broke the cage where the ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts were kept in the Wuhun Hall. Dozens of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts broke out in a riot. Many worshipers from the Qiandao Sect's Enshrinement Hall came to suppress it. He himself immediately found Qianxunji to investigate the matter. The two guards beside Qian Renxue were also led out by Lan.
The young Qian Renxue was left alone in the Pope's Palace.
But Lan knows,
Qian Renxue is like a tethered canary.
Being in a cage, my heart wants to be free.
Sure enough, it was just as Lan expected.
Qian Renxue did not listen to the words of her two uncles and went to the back mountain to play alone.
It was a seamless plan.
Take into account time, route, and even human hearts.
thump!
Qian Renxue, who kept retreating, hit a big tree and fell to the ground. Her princess dress was torn, and the bright red blood stained the snow-white dress.
There were tears in Qian Renxue's eyes.
It hurt and she wanted to cry.
But she couldn't cry.
Because fear had filled her heart.
Lan looked at Qian Renxue's bruised knees and the tears in his eyes. For some reason, he was in a trance again.
Why.
As the number one assassin in the Star Luo Empire, he shouldn't have such emotions, let alone hesitate.
His hands were stained with blood, and countless people died on his hands.
Just because the other party is too young and a child, do we have to let her go?
No,
Not so.
Lan looked at Qian Renxue in front of her.
In the past three months, he could always see some kind of shadow in Qian Renxue.
This kind of shadow,
Deja vu.
Suddenly, a murderous intent flashed in the depths of Lan's deep and cold eyes.
Don't be soft-hearted,
For an assassin,
The mission is more important than your own life.
Lan raised the shark blade in his hand, and the cold light shone from the shark blade on Qian Renxue's dirty face.
Just wave the knife,
It's all over.
Lan slowly closed his eyes, and just as the shark blade in his hand fell, Qian Renxue's voice suddenly sounded!
"Big brother, be careful!"
Qian Renxue was possessed by an angel martial soul behind her, and two yellow soul rings slowly rose up. She rushed towards Lan and pushed him aside.
Boom!
Just hear a loud noise!
A huge ghost tiger pounced from where Lan Lan was just now, directly breaking the big tree in front of him!
Lan suddenly turned his head and looked at Guihu who had jumped into the air, and then turned to look at Qian Renxue who was lying on the ground with a painful look on his face.
She actually saved me?
Why?
I just wanted to kill her
At this moment,
Lan's inner world seemed to be trembling.
Normally, it would have been impossible for him not to notice Ghost Tiger's sneak attack. His heart was confused.
The ghost tiger turned around, with a pair of tiger eyes filled with murderous intent, a mouth full of lust, and eyes full of hatred for humans.
Don’t think about it,
This is the ten thousand year soul beast kept in captivity in Wuhun Palace.
Because of Lan, he took advantage of the chaos and escaped.
"Ho ho ho ho!!!"
The ghost tiger looked up to the sky and roared, causing the entire back mountain to shake violently.
Immediately, the ghost tiger attacked Lan and Qian Renxue!
Ghost Tiger is a speed soul beast,
In addition, it is already at the ten thousand year level, even ordinary soul emperors and soul saints may not be able to beat it in terms of speed.
Lan looked at the ghost tiger rushing towards him, immediately retracted his thoughts, turned around, hugged Qian Renxue in his arms, and quickly dodged aside!
boom!
The ground shook and gravel flew everywhere!
Lan held Qian Renxue tightly in her arms and kept knocking down the gravel with her shark blade.
The roar of the ghost tiger was so shocking that Qian Renxue was so frightened that she buried her head in Lan's arms and hugged Lan's chest tightly with both hands.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
"Damn it, this ghost tiger should be about 50,000 years old, but I am just the Soul Emperor."
"If I were in the sea, I wouldn't be afraid of a mere 50,000-year-old spirit beast..."
Lan kept running through the forest. His martial spirit was an unprecedented shark. Its quality was unknown, but it was very powerful.
Lan once used his martial soul and shark blade to kill a Contra-level sea soul master in the sea.
Although Lan was a sneak attack,
But being able to successfully attack a soul master whose strength far exceeds his own is also a kind of strength.
Moreover, sneak attack is the duty and attack method of assassins.
Gradually, Lan's physical strength became a little weak and her speed slowed down.
The ghost tiger kept attacking Lan.
Shark blades and tiger claws collided wantonly between heaven and earth!
In order to protect Qian Renxue in her arms, Lan had to fight the ghost tiger with one hand!
A soul emperor could fight like this with a fifty thousand year old ghost tiger. If word spread to the outside world, this would be enough to cause an uproar!
Qian Renxue in Lan's arms has also seen through the situation.
"Brother, let me go."
Qian Renxue suddenly spoke.
Her voice was still a little childish.
"Brother, if I guess correctly, you should be an assassin, right?"
Lan's expression was stunned.
Obviously, he did not expect that an eight-year-old child would have such a mind.
"My death at the hands of the soul beast, brother, should be considered as completing the mission, and I can go back to deliver."
"If eldest brother continues to distract himself from protecting me, both of us may die."
"Instead of doing this, it is better to let one person escape."
Qian Renxue's eyes curved, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile.
Lan looked at the smile on the face of the girl in her arms,
Distracted again.
Ghost Tiger seized the opportunity and slapped Xiang Lan with his huge tiger claws.
Lan used his arms to forcefully block Ghost Tiger's attack. His internal organs were shaken a bit, blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, and his body flew backwards.
But there was no fear in his eyes.
Instead, a strange emotion flashed through him.
"Why did you save me?"
"I was going to kill you just now."
Lan asked softly.
Qian Renxue raised her head, and her eyes met Lan's cold eyes.
These eyes are clear and clear, with a hint of gentleness.
"Because...I can feel it..."
"Big brother and I are the same person."
Lan's eyes and hesitation were all seen by Qian Renxue.
She could feel that the young man in front of her was not a bad person, it was fate that chose him.
Seeing the innocent smile on the girl's face, Lan's pupils shrank slightly.
At this moment,
Lan finally knew,
What is that familiar shadow that seems familiar...
She,
Being in a cage, my heart wants to be free.
Him,
Being in darkness, but looking towards the light.
They are each other's mirrors.
shadow.
Just to reflect the other person's appearance.
