After successively winning 10 fights, Jian Wushuang walked off the arena .
“Mr . Swordsman, here’s your Cercis Token . You can use it yourself, lend it to someone or sell it . You may not obtain more than one token,” said the host, an Eternal Realm expert .
“I see, thank you,” said Jian Wushuang as he took the token . He stained the token with a drop of his blood to mark his ownership before getting ready to leave .
“Swordsman,” A voice behind him stopped him in his tracks .
Jian Wushuang turned and saw the girl who had been his first opponent on the arena . She approached him with a smile on her face . “Congratulations,” she said .
“Yes?” Jian Wushuang asked indifferently .
“I’m Lin Wan . I’m here to thank you for showing me mercy during the fight,” explained the girl .
“I have nothing against you . I just wanted to get a Cercis Token . There was no need to kill you,” Jian Wushuang said coolly . He quickly took his leave to avoid entanglements with the girl .
“This guy… is interesting . ” Lin Wan wasn’t offended by Jian Wushuang’s indifference . Instead, her curiosity about him grew .
“I thought it would be easy for me to get a Cercis Token in the Blood Battle Arena . I wasn’t expecting him to defeat me so easily . My father was right . The Eternal World has an abundant number of experts and there are many hidden talents on Cercis Island,” Lin Wan thought in amazement .
Just then, two white-robed figures rushed forward anxiously . “Miss, thank God we’ve found you . Let’s go back at once . His Excellency would be furious to know that you were in the Blood Battle Arena . ”
“I just got here . Don’t worry . I’ll go back after getting a Cercis Token,” Lin Wan scowled .
“A Cercis Token?”
The two white-robed figures exchanged shocked glances . One of them continued to persuade her . “Miss, please don’t be willful . The fights here are very cruel . If you get injured, we’ll both be blamed for it . You may ask His Excellency for a Cercis Token . You don’t have to fight here . ”
“All right, all right . Cut the crap . I’ll go back,” Lin Wan muttered, and followed the two white-robed men away from the Blood Battle Arena .
After leaving the Blood Battle Arena, Jian Wushuang rented a mansion on the island and settled down before looking for chances to kill Su Ming .
Soon, three days had passed .
Jian Wushuang sat by the window on the second floor of a restaurant . He was drinking and paying close attention to what was happening downstairs .
He could clearly see Su Ming, who was protected by the two Eternal Realm experts .
“It has been three days . Su Ming has been staying in the block of Heavenly Cloud Pavilion, and his two guards have not left his side . It’ll be impossible for me to take action even after he leaves the block . ”
The block of the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion was filled with experts of the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion, including Lei Xin . If Jian Wushuang attacked Su Ming, those experts would retaliate immediately . It was risky for him to make his move while Su Ming resided in the block .
However, given the present situation, he had to take a risk .
“With the help of his Master, Su Ming’s strength has improved rapidly and he has become a superior Divine Realm expert . Even so, if I do try to kill him, he won’t have time to react . ” Jian Wushuang analyzed the situation .
“As for his two guards, they are only at Step One of the Eternal Realm . My sudden attack will catch them off guard!”
“I’ll find an excellent opportunity, kill Su Ming with one blow, and leave immediately . ”
Having made a decision, Jian Wushuang’s expression lightened .
In the last three days, he had assessed the strength of Su Ming and his two guards .
With his strength, he had excellent chances of carrying out a successful assassination and he would have time to escape .
Jian Wushuang left the restaurant and edged closer to where Su Ming was .
Jian Wushuang had completely restrained his aura so that he did not attract any attention . Su Ming did not notice him even as he drew within 50m of him .
“I only have one chance . If I fail to kill him this time, he will be more careful and even stay with his Master . If that happens, I won’t be able to kill him . So I have to kill him now!” Jian Wushuang said to himself .
His eyes gleamed in anticipation .
“Now!”
He suddenly moved .
His speed instantly reached its peak as he unsheathed the Emperor Sword .
He crossed the distance of less than 50 meters in a flash and swung his sword at unprecedented speed . This move was called Twilight .
A beautiful sword shadow emerged silently before Su Ming’s throat . Jian Wushuang’s Sword Heart reached its fullest power and trembled slightly in his sea of consciousness .
He was not adept at assassination, but he knew how to find the perfect time to kill .
At the perfect moment, he delivered the most unexpected blow with astonishing speed!
That blow left his target no chance of survival .
There was absolutely no way Su Ming could have avoided it .
In the street, Su Ming was guarded by two Eternal Realm experts . He was deep in thought over what his Master had told him and did not even notice the fatal blow approach him .
The two guards did not notice anything amiss until the sword shadow appeared in front of Su Ming’s throat .
“Crap!”
The two guards could not do anything as the sword shadow was too close .
“Clank!”
A low metal crash sounded, and Jian Wushuang’s face immediately darkened .
Unexpectedly, an Energy Shield had suddenly appeared around Su Ming at the critical moment and blocked Jian Wushuang’s blow .
The Energy Shield broke as it deflected the strike . The ring on Su Ming’s finger also disintegrated .
That ring was the lifesaving item that Lei Xin had given Su Ming .
It contained a layer of Energy Shield, which would automatically activate when Su Ming encountered a life crisis, but it would only work once .
“What?” Su Ming finally realized what was happening .
He raised his head and stared hard at Jian Wushuang, who had a murderous look on his face .
“Jian, Jian Wushuang!”
Su Ming let out a sharp cry of fear . And as he quickly backed away, he brought out his token to make contact with his Master .
“Master, hurry up, save me! Jian Wushuang is trying to kill me . ”
