Chapter 162: The Assassin

Forcing the crater, Xuanyuan Hong's purpose is self-evident, of course, he is also angry with the flame grass, who wouldn't want to take good things for themselves?

Realizing the purpose of Xuanyuan Hong's questioning of the crater, a hint of surprise flashed in the archer's eyes, not that he still had hope in life, but that someone had avenged him, it was true that there was a furious flame grass in the crater, but it was too dangerous, not only concentrated all the elites of the fifth layer of purgatory, but also a huge group of fire wolves, and even other unknown dangers.

In the eyes of the archers, if Xuanyuan Hong goes to find the Flame Grass, ninety percent of them will be killed, less than half of them are sure that they can get the Flame Grass, and the remaining half of them will only be able to leave the crater alive to pick up a life.

Realizing this, the archer did not hesitate, and immediately pointed out the route for Xuanyuan Hong, which was very detailed and accurate, for fear that Xuanyuan Hong would go the wrong way, miss the flame grass, no, it was a missed opportunity to die, his thoughts would be in vain, and no one would avenge his death.

"But whether I can get the Flame Grass or not, you will die now!" Seeing the archer's sinister intentions, Xuanyuan Hong certainly wouldn't be polite to him, and in the case of just wanting to die happily, he didn't worry about the archer lying, so he slapped his palm directly on the archer's head and killed him instantly.

Then Xuanyuan Hong walked towards the crater where the flame grass was produced, at this time, the prisoners of the fifth layer, as long as they knew the news of the flame grass and had a little ability, they had already gone to fight for the flame grass.

"How can there be a corpse here?" Xuanyuan Hong had just come to the foot of the mountain, still a long distance away from the crater, and found a corpse on the ground, and checked that it was killed by a bow and arrow, and an arrow hit the forehead, and he was killed directly on the spot, and there was no trace of a fight.

The body of the deceased was stripped naked, and nothing useful was left, so it can be said that it was naked.

Judging from the injuries of the deceased, they were either shot to death by a person who had an absolute advantage in cultivation, or they were assassinated by someone with a bow and arrow, otherwise there would not be any traces of a fight on the ground, even if they were killed with one blow during the battle, they would leave corresponding traces, although there may be few traces.

Suddenly, Xuanyuan Hong heard a scream, very briefly, obviously a person was killed, and died very unexpectedly and quickly.

He immediately bounced off the ground, unfolded his body and turned into a wisp of green smoke, and in the blink of an eye, he went straight in the direction from which the sound came.

With his speed, he soon came to the place where the screams came from, but there was only one dead man left, who was also killed by an arrow in the forehead, and the body that had just died was still the temperature of a normal person, and the blood from the wound had not had time to coagulate, nor did it leave any traces of a fight.

Assassinate!

Judging from all kinds of signs, Xuanyuan Hong was an assassination, not a master's killing, and he didn't feel any master's breath.

Xuanyuan Hong immediately became cautious, because judging from the physical condition of the deceased person, he was also a strong man in the Soaring Realm, and he was able to assassinate a strong man in the Soaring Realm, which showed that this assassin either had a superb cultivation, or had a unique assassination skill, and his assassination ability was very strong.

And the assassin is nearby, maybe he has been targeted by the assassin, and if he is not careful, the dead on the ground will be his fate.

However, there is one thing that Xuanyuan Hong does not understand, there are more than five people who have been assassinated in the same situation, and the assassination is still going on, the assassins all have a characteristic, they have all been looted, are the assassins just for a little thing on them?

"Not good!" Xuanyuan Hong, who was advancing, suddenly felt a killing intent locked on him, even if a killer's murderous aura was perfect, at the moment when he was about to make a move, it was difficult to avoid revealing a killing intent, unless it was a legend, a killer who had reached perfection, but a legend is a legend, and the chance of encountering it was too small.

Xuanyuan Hong did not hesitate, and directly left the place with the maximum speed, leaving only an afterimage.

As soon as Xuanyuan Hong left, he heard a pop, and a feather arrow shot at the rock beside him, directly penetrating the boulder more than a meter thick, and shooting to the ground and setting it to a depth of half a year, there was no sound when he flew, no wonder he sensed the murderous aura but didn't hear the sound.

He immediately concluded that the dead people he had met earlier must have been the work of this assassin, and he was almost injured.

Xuanyuan Hong immediately found the assassin, he didn't look like a prisoner, but there was a leather armor on his body that was a little old, but it was intact, and in important parts, such as the heart, there was even a metal heart protector, and the equipment on his body was complete.

Even the eyes are protected by a special high-strength special steel protective vision, and the whole body is covered under protection.

Such a set of equipment, let alone prisoners in purgatory, is not something that ordinary people can equip even in the outside world.

And the longbow in his hand is even more different, at first glance it is a high-elasticity, high-strength composite material, after special treatment, even in strong light will not reflect, obviously the assassin is this person, but why did he assassinate the criminal?

The prisoners here deserve to die, but they can't all be executed, otherwise it will cause a big chaos, which is why Purgatory exists, but for the fight between the prisoners in Purgatory, the people who manage Purgatory, and even the Empire are happy to see it.

"Who are you?" The other party was also very strange, Xuanyuan Hong was also wearing soft leather armor, although it was not as tight as an assassin, but at least it was fully equipped and very matched, such an outfit that only a very few people in purgatory could get together.

Soft leather armor is a kind of leather armor that has been specially treated, the leather is soft, can provide a certain amount of defense at the same time, it is also very comfortable to wear, and even many high-end soft leather armor is more comfortable than daily clothing, so many cultivators wear soft leather armor as clothing in their daily life.

Xuanyuan Hong is like this, he wears soft leather armor in daily life, and he will not change his clothes in battle, because he firmly believes that only his own strength is the real strength, and the increase in combat power and defense brought by various equipment can be used as much as possible when he can.

It is precisely his outfit that makes the assassin suspect his identity, and the clothes in purgatory are not ready, how can there be soft leather armor?

"Who are you?" Xuanyuan Hong also asked the assassin, who he suspected that the assassin was either sent to kill him or had the same identity as him.

He can be sent by Zhang Wenying to experience according to the usual practice, of course, other generals can also send people in, and the assassin may be one of them.

"I see, you're here to train, and so am I, but I'm telling you I'm the best, and you're unlucky to meet me. The assassin suddenly realized, and at the same time, his words also confirmed Xuanyuan Hong's guess, it turned out to be a person who entered purgatory and practiced, the same identity.

However, from his words, it can be heard that even if he is also a person sent by the military to train, he intends to kill Xuanyuan Hong.

Although some people's hands are stained with blood, they have a bottom line, and they will never kill those who should be killed, and some people have no bottom line when they kill, and they will kill if they want to, whether they should be killed or not, Xuanyuan Hong belongs to the former, and the assassin belongs to the latter.

"Kill!" Hearing the assassin's words, Xuanyuan Hong became murderous, such a person regards human life as child's play, and indiscriminately kills innocent people who deserve to die.

Seeing that the assassin actually pulled out another arrow, Xuanyuan Hong took the initiative to attack, and he couldn't have the slightest hesitation to kill.

"Vertical and horizontal thunder sword, seventh sword, soaring air slash!" Xuanyuan Hong's legs suddenly exerted force, and he jumped up diagonally and shot at the assassin not far away.

Flying air slash is a jumping attack technique, which can attack air targets, and can also strike at ground targets, and the speed is very fast when jumping, and it can be used in a very short time, across a considerable distance to carry out a lethal powerful strike.

Jumping to the highest point, Xuanyuan Hong waved his sword finger, and it was a fierce sword qi that fell from the sky like a battle axe.

The condescending dive makes the attack power of the flying slash stronger than the average combat skill, but the conditions for casting it are somewhat limited.

"The carving insect skill is not worth mentioning!" the assassin sneered, and one arrow turned into three arrows, aiming at Xuanyuan Hong who fell from the sky.

Sou!

The first arrow was shot out, and the edge that Xuanyuan Hong split down in the middle of it made a loud bang, and the arrow was directly shattered by the powerful edge, but the arrow was shattered, and it also consumed a lot of attack power, and the edge of Xuanyuan Hong's split suddenly shrank a lot.

Whoosh!

The next two arrows were also shattered by Xuanyuan Hong, but his attack also dissipated with the last arrow shattered.

It turned out to be a hard-trained archer!

Xuanyuan Hong had also encountered an archer before, but in addition to shooting accurately and powerfully, his archery skills were terrible.

The assassin in front of him is different, his archery skills are very **, and he is obviously very good at it after a long period of study and exploration.

Xuanyuan Hong fell, standing opposite the assassin, the first round of confrontation between the two people, it can be said that they were evenly matched, the assassin failed to shoot one more arrow, otherwise Xuanyuan Hong would definitely not be able to catch it, and Xuanyuan Hong could not exert a little more force, otherwise the assassin would definitely be unlucky.

"Quite good combat skills, but in the eyes of this young master, it's not worth mentioning, let's die!" The assassin was very arrogant, facing Xuanyuan Hong who fell on the opposite side, he raised his longbow again, and the momentum of his whole body began to condense, firmly locking on Xuanyuan Hong who was just opposite.

Xuanyuan Hong was also cautious, the assassin's cultivation was not clear to him, but according to his speculation, even if it was worse than him, it was almost the same.
