Chapter 200: Assassination
Zhou Ming actually enjoyed this feeling of being a lone ranger. He had been wandering the steppes for days.
Since cultivating the Ten Thousand Spirit Horn Divine Armor, realizing the Wind and Fire Sword, fusing the true blood of the Phoenix, and completing a transformation, his confidence seems to be more than before.
During this time, most of his energy was actually spent on cultivation. Although he has been cultivating the Savage-level Wild Fire for a long time, he can be regarded as a figure who has stepped into the door of the Beast Master with one foot. However, his own comprehension is not enough, and his true cultivation is still a beast tamer.
"Huh, I have finally stepped into the realm of the six-rank beast tamer! If you go down step by step like this and reach the limit of the beast trainer, the nine-color same glow is just around the corner!"
In the depths of the barren grass, Zhou Ming's long breath sounded, his eyes blinked slightly, and he looked at the palm of his raised left hand. In the palm of the hand, a wild breath emerged, six colors, like a mysterious and magnificent colorful glow. The six colors blend together, but do not lose their true colors, as if forming some kind of perfect cycle, between the surging rhythm, faintly and the wildness of heaven and earth have a certain connection, let the mind move, you can gather considerable heaven and earth energy.
With his cultivation, Zhou Ming's physical fitness is also increasing day by day. Since the transformation of Nirvana, the foundation of enlightenment and cultivation in these days has become more and more solid.
This is already the middle of the steppe. Zhou Ming looked around, slowly stood up, and set his eyes in the southeast direction. Twenty miles away is the place where the orc armies gather.
Zhou Ming set out again, and since returning to the grassland, he has been cruising in this area in recent days. During his covert observation, he found a lot of clues. Corroboration of the confidential information obtained is really scary to ponder.
On several occasions, Zhou Ming actually saw the beast masters of the Roaring Kingdom enter the entrenched place of the orc army in a grand manner.
"Could it be that the situation is really as the intelligence says, the orcs have been conquered by the Roaring Kingdom, or is there some kind of agreement between the two?"
The thought flashed in Zhou Ming's heart, and his brows couldn't help frowning. He was even more convinced that it was the latter, after all, the orcs and the Roaring Kingdom had a blood feud. Today's Roaring Kingdom can be said to have risen by stepping on the mountain of corpses and blood of the orc clan. This kind of racial feud is simply impossible to resolve. If the orcs were willing to give in, they would never have dragged on until now.
Zhou Ming was even more convinced that the orcs were forced to survive and made some kind of compromise to the Roaring Kingdom. And the Roaring Kingdom side, in order to maximize the benefits in the battle for the old ghost mountain, just took the opportunity to use the orc clan.
"If this army crosses the grassland and kills into the old ghost mountain, it will really be a disaster!"
Zhou Ming's heart was quite solemn, and he prayed that the orc army would not come too quickly. Otherwise, the Green Tiger Tribe, as well as the other tribes that are still waiting to migrate, will definitely be in trouble.
"Huh?"
Just when Zhou Ming looked quietly, an inexplicable uneasiness suddenly came to his heart. He looked around vigilantly, and the cold wind blew across the grassland, making a loud noise, but he didn't see any suspicious clues.
"What's going on?"
For the dangerous sense of smell, Zhou Ming is still quite confident. But the results of his observations made him deeply puzzled. His heart moved, and he couldn't help but cast his gaze to the sky. The clouds in the sky were thin, not too many, and there were no suspicious birds.
"Am I feeling wrong?"
Zhou Ming was confused, but his nerves tensed. He suspected that the enemy who was eyeing him was not nearby at all. This means that he is likely to be targeted by an extraordinarily powerful being.
That's not a good thing, and it's not impossible.
The Great War is about to start, and reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance are going on every day. The position he was in now was already a warning area for the orc army.
At this moment, Zhou Ming had a retreat in his heart.
He didn't want to be sniped by some unknown and powerful being.
Swish!
At that moment, the weeds behind him shook. The subtle sound of breaking wind carried an eerie tremor, giving him a terrifying feeling of thorns in his back.
It's an assassination!
He reacted almost instantaneously.
Obviously, the other party is an extremely terrifying existence, and his stealth skills are very superb. The assassin really seized a very good opportunity, just taking advantage of Zhou Ming's previous cultivation, his vigilance dropped greatly, and he unknowingly touched Zhou Ming's vicinity.
Maybe he missed the best assassination opportunity, but at this moment, it's still very deadly!
A little cold light broke through the sky, as fast as a flying thunderbolt of phantom light.
It was a sharp thorn, black and red all over, like jade and bone. From the sharp edge it spit out, it could be seen that it was a beast soldier, a beast soldier with terrifying penetrating power. Its edge is nothing short of an armor's nightmare.
Zhou Ming didn't see its edge, because before he could turn around, the three-foot-long thorn had been accurately pierced into the back of his heart.
That position is too deadly.
If pierced, his heart will be directly punctured.
It was a fatal blow that had been brewing for a long time!
Click!
The terrifying stabbing sound accompanied by the terrifying impact suddenly sounded, and Zhou Ming's body fell forward sharply, falling to the ground in embarrassment.
At the most critical moment, the Ten Thousand Souls Horn Divine Armor played its due value, but its protection was not enough. It was actually stabbed by a single blow, and it failed to defuse the force of that blow.
Zhou Ming only felt a sweetness in his throat, and blood gushed out of his mouth.
The ground had already been smashed out of a big hole by him, and his body was even stiffer and painful. He suffered a lot of internal injuries, but he did not dare to hesitate.
The palms slammed into the ground, got up, and turned, barely stagnating. He has entered the state of tyrant. Turning sharply, he finally saw the initiator. The enemy's costume is very peculiar, and his armor is like a mixture of rock and earth, and even grass grows on it, completely obscuring the opponent's figure. Although this makes enemies look extremely bloated, it does not affect their speed.
Like a golden cicada shedding its shell, the assassin burst out of the rock and earth armor. He held another spike in his hand, as fast as a phantom, and the sharp edge was pointed directly at Zhou Ming's right eye.
In the face of such a blow, Zhou Ming knew that he had already lost the opportunity, and even if he used butterflies, he was afraid that it would be difficult to resist.
He felt pain in his right eye, but his pupils contracted frantically in the face of death. In the blink of an eye, he can firmly control his physical body. His eyes blinked in a ten-thousandth of a second.
It wasn't something he did on purpose, but an instinctive reaction to self-preservation, because before that, a flash of fire shot out from the depths of the pupil of his right eye.
Wind and fire sword!
He already had a lot of stock in his body, but the situation was so critical that he could only forcibly release it from his pupils. For the eyes, of course, it is a terrible injury. That's why he blinked. But it's worth risking an eye to save your life. There's no quicker way to deal with it.
The last to come, the soul beast trick, the fire brought by the wind and fire sword is faster, and in a flash, it has disappeared.
Time seemed to slow down, and Zhou Ming's eyes just blinked, and he saw the other party's eyes suddenly closed. And what he has to do is desperately turn his head sideways. Because he succeeded. The Wind and Fire Sword had already shot into his mind from the pupils of the other party's eyes.
Phew!
The sharp thorns grazed his cheeks, leaving deep blood grooves on Zhou Ming's cheeks. The enemy was still affected after all, otherwise, he would not have had time to avoid the skull.
This blood trough told Zhou Ming that the most terrifying crisis had passed.
In the state of tyrant, instead of taking any retreat, he took a step forward vigorously, and he didn't have time to use any beast tricks, but just used the power of his body as quickly as he could, and slammed a punch on the opponent's chest.
Click, blood mist churning!
The assassin's chest exploded, breaking in two. The upper half of the body flew out, and when it landed, black smoke was already rising from the seven orifices.
"Assassin of the Roaring Kingdom, what a terrifying ability!"
Zhou Ming's body flickered, spewed out a mouthful of blood mist, and supported the ground with one hand, so as to stabilize himself.
Although the battle began and ended like lightning, it was no less thrilling than encountering the wild shaman head-on.
The blood groove on his face, the internal injuries on his body, the Ten Thousand Spirit Horn Divine Armor shattered by a blow, and the temporarily blind right eye all told Zhou Ming that he had just walked on the edge of life and death.
"It's just a three-rank beast master!"
Zhou Ming's heart was solemn for a while, and he was also aware of some of his own shortcomings. Although his attack methods are good, in terms of speed and stealth ability, he has become a fatal shortcoming.
He really didn't want to suffer a second assassination like this.
It was also an assassination, this beast master from the Roaring Kingdom was obviously much more terrifying than Qu Mufeng.
A thought flashed through Zhou Ming's heart, and he couldn't help but look at the two black and red spikes, as well as the strange rock and soil armor.
In retrospect, he realized that he had witnessed the Assassin before that. But at the time, he didn't realize that it would be a mortal threat. He thought it was just a normal bush.
Now he finally knew that it was a special beast soldier.
