As he spoke, Naless paused and said with a smile, "Finally, we have waited for that opportunity. Taking advantage of the Dragon King's wariness of , we forced him to take the initiative to seek out the Lord of the Killing Realm and successfully assasinated him."
Naless' tone was tinged with a hint of pride.
It was nothing like the original callous and indifferent killing machine, solely focused on executing tasks and killing as if devoid of any emotions.
Perhaps, this was her true character that had been suppressed for so long.
Upon understanding the whole story and the truth, San Liu couldn't help but feel a sense of disorientation.
He never imagined that a casual gesture from back then could turn that girl into such a super-assassin who also helped him regain his freedom, no longer bound by the constraints of the Lord of the Killing Realm, with his life constantly in the other's hands.
Having realized this, San Liu couldn't help but wryly smile and said, "If that's the case, why didn't you just tell directly back then? Why keep it a secret all this ti?"
Naless replied indifferently, "I had taken over Naless' body. If I had directly laid out the plan to you, with your nature, you would have definitely gotten carried away and alerted the Lord of the Killing Realm to sothing amiss, suspecting there was a problem with . Therefore, I could only tell you first that I was on the sa path as you, and then maintain my distance. You would be skeptical but it wouldn't expose anything."
"Until recently, when Dragon King Hall eventually killed the Lord of the Killing Realm. As I had grown used to being Naless, I didn't bother to explain anymore. After all, the debt of gratitude had been repaid, and it didn't matter whether you knew or not."
Upon hearing Naless' explanation, San Liu heaved a long sigh and said, "So, if I hadn't been at death's door this ti, you wouldn't have bothered to reveal the truth to ?"
Naless didn't speak, but her attitude was clear: she saw that San Liu was unlikely to survive until the Dragon King Hall's rescue and since he insisted on knowing why she helped him, she directly told him the reason.
Ordinarily, if he had asked her like this, she wouldn't have even bothered to respond.
"Thank you," San Liu murmured softly, moved, even though he didn't receive a response from Naless.
Naless remained silent, carrying San Liu on her back, and continued running towards Jiangnan Province, her worry intensifying. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novᴇlfire
The duration of a final rally varies from person to person, depending on their physical condition. So can last more than half an hour before passing away, while others may only last for ten minutes or even just a few minutes.
And although San Liu was a Grandmaster of Martial Arts at the Peak of Energy Transformation, he would be doing well to last an hour.
Since his consciousness beca clear, and he had spoken so much, more than ten minutes had already passed.
Naless didn't know whether she could carry San Liu and hold on until Mu Jinyu's arrival before San Liu drew his last breath.
However, she could only try her best – whether San Liu could be saved was now up to fate!
They no longer spoke. Naless focused more intensely on running, reaching speeds of a hundred ters per second, hurtling towards Jiangnan Province as if her life depended on it.
"Boom!!"
After they had been running for another ten minutes.
Just as they were about to leave the county town, suddenly, Naless sensed sothing amiss and hastily stopped!!
"Booming!!"
Just as Naless had co to a halt, not long after, there was a deafening explosion on the ground ahead of them.
Flas shot in every direction, shrapnel flew, and dust filled the air, obscuring the visibility.
Naless was terrified; she hadn't anticipated that the assassins had calculated her route in advance and set a trap ahead of her path.
If she had not noticed sothing was off and stepped into it, she might have been within the explosion radius. She might have survived, though with severe injuries, but San Liu, already critically wounded, would have definitely died.
"Heh heh..."
At that mont, several n, each robust like a wild bear, erged from the surrounding houses and looked at Naless and company with a cold laugh.
"Just as we guessed, you really did run this way!"
These people were precisely those who, after learning that Naless and San Liu had obtained a sword array capable of killing warriors in the Divine Realm, sched and pursued them to kill.
After brutally killing Salina, they carelessly let Naless escape with San Liu. Despite their relentless chase, they recently realized it was difficult to catch up with Naless, so they started thinking of other thods.
They knew Naless had the special ability of invisibility, and unless one was a warrior of the Divine Realm who could use Divine Sense to discover her whereabouts, no one else could find her.
Therefore, once San Liu died, Naless really would have no more attachnts and would beco an unbound, terrifying killing machine. Ard with that sword array capable of slaying Divine Realm warriors and hiding in the shadows, she would beco their nightmare!
So, they had to kill Naless as well before San Liu's death!
They stopped blindly pursuing Naless and San Liu and, based on the information they gathered, learned that their first escape would be to Capital City, probably to seek healing from the Dragon King Mu Jinyu of Dragon King Hall.
Now fleeing from the north to the south, most likely, Mu Jinyu was leading people back to River City, which is why they were heading south.
Coming to this conclusion, they decided to take a gamble and directly targeted the only route to Jiangnan Province from this small town to set up an ambush in advance.
As expected, their gamble paid off; they really did wait until Naless arrived, running with San Liu!
Unfortunately, Naless's vigilance was still very high, and that recent attack didn't manage to blast her into serious injury!
A very robust black man with extrely thick body hair stepped out, his eyes cold and indifferent, and said to Naless with a raised hand, "Hand over the sword array, and we can leave your corpses intact!"
"Dream on!"
Naless said coldly, her eyes disdainful and contemptuous.
As she spoke, she tightened the few straps that prevented San Liu from falling off her back, then reached down her trouser legs and pulled out two daggers as thin as cicada's wings!
San Liu didn't have much ti left; she had to hurry and carve a bloody path out!
"Hmph, nonsensical!"
The hairy black man, seeing Naless's movent, snorted coldly, knowing that Naless was about to make a move, he looked up at the sky and howled.
"Aoouu!"
"Aoouu…"
Following his several wolf howls, his already thick hair grew wildly longer, and his whole body began to change drastically, eventually turning into an upright werewolf!
This guy was actually of a Foreign Race bloodline, a werewolf from Fallen Splendor.
"Putsh!"
"Aoouu!"
"Putsh!!"
At this ti, with the black man transforming into a werewolf, the others also activated their Foreign Race bloodlines, so growing fangs and claws, turning into werewolves, others growing bat wings, taking to the skies, turning into vampires!
"Ha!"
Naless looked at their transformation, her eyes as cold as ice, showing no fear, and with a light shout, she gripped the daggers tightly and charged at them!
"Die!!"
The robust black man who had been the first to transform into a werewolf let out a roar, then took big strides and charged forward, his eyes full of brutal murderous intent. His punch was swung out, aid directly at Naless's head!
