Chapter 165: Hand-to-hand
"Who are you?" Yan Zining's hands were clenched, and unconsciously, her palms were covered with sweat. She turned her head solemnly and looked around, only to see a black patch, and the walls of the house slowly turned gray, and the colors on them peeled off like flying ash. She knew she was stuck in an enchantment.
"You can call me the Faceless." The man in black on the opposite side straightened up, and his every move was quite natural, as if he was chatting with a friend. He lifted his hat, "Of course, the name is just a code name, you just need to know that I am the one who came to take your life." ”
In this enchantment, he is like a fish in water, and his whole person seems to melt into the shadows. Yan Zining glanced around anxiously out of the corner of her eye, looking for a direction to escape. "I'm going to have to delay as much as I can." She thought to herself.
"Who instructed you to assassinate me?" Yan Zining opened her mouth and said, "I think, the old lady doesn't have too many enemies, and no one should go to great lengths to want the old lady to die." The Faceless One on the other side paused, blood dripping from the red-streaked mask, "This is business, and I have no comment." ”
"Let me think about it, the people of the Jin family or the Li family, or the enemies of the family?" Yan Zining's face turned into a frost flower, and her hand was behind her back, quietly rubbing the Qiankun ring on her ring finger.
The Faceless pressed the brim of his hat, allowing the blood-red mask to hide in the shadows. He said in a voice with a hidden smile, "I'm sorry, I have to maintain my work ethic. Miss Yan, it was a pleasure to chat with you, but at this point, I won't let you procrastinate any longer. ”
As soon as the words fell, he stepped on the ground, and the whole person rushed towards Yan Zining like an arrow. The ground shattered inch by inch under his feet, and the broken stones were crumbled into the sky by a tremendous force, and then shattered into stone powder again in the air, and fell suddenly.
The Faceless One's whole person turned into a streamer. He stomped on the ground again as he ran, the ground shattering, and then, as he ran, his whole body melted like ice and melted into the shadows created by the barrier.
"Where?" Yan Zining eagerly turned her head to look around, but her heart was very calm. Her left hand clenched tightly, she didn't know what she was holding, but one thing was for sure, she wasn't going to sit still. Every shadow was reflected in her mirror-like pupils, from which the Faceless One could reveal at any moment.
"Here!" Yan Zining looked sharply at one place, where the shadows agitated, rising like flowing water, gradually distorting and changing, condensing into the shape of a faceless person. The Faceless One held a shiny dagger in his hand, the reflection of light on it, somewhat glaring.
The Faceless One waved his hand and slashed, the white light of the knife turning into a flash of lightning, and the air was sliced in front of it, and a twisted howl rang out. Yan Zining's pupils reflected the knife light that was getting closer and closer, and he suddenly stretched out his left hand and scattered the things he was holding in it.
It was a piece of powder. The powder fluttered in the air, colliding head-on with the body of the Faceless One, and the moment it touched, the powder exploded and bloomed into red rays, like bursting countless small fireworks.
In the crackling sound, the Faceless Man subconsciously covered his face, and the momentum generated by the explosion tore small holes in his black robe, which was very embarrassing. Yan Zining took this opportunity to shrink her head and dodge the sword light, like an agile spirit fox.
She quickly moved away from the Faceless, but by this time the man whose face was hidden under the mask had recovered. "Nice little trick, but unfortunately it didn't work much." He pulled a knife flower, and the dagger danced like a butterfly at his fingertips, refracting light like frost and snow.
"If you only have this means, then you will not escape death today." The Faceless One shook his robe, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes behind the mask, like a calm lake, "So dance, my miss, before your life is over." ”
"Is that the only way to go?" There was a rare hesitation in Yan Zining's eyes, and she secretly analyzed the pros and cons in her heart, "But this trick has too many side effects, it is a double-edged sword...... It's better than losing your life. ”
Seeing that the faceless man had set up a posture, and the frost-like knife light in his hand was about to burst out, Yan Zining was ruthless, took out a pill and swallowed it in his abdomen. The elixir melted in her mouth, turning into a torrent that crashed through her limbs.
For a while, her momentum was rising, from the Qi training period to the foundation building period, and then from the foundation building period to the Jindan stage...... Until the early stage of Jindan. Under the playful gaze of the Faceless One, Yan Zining waved her hand, and the flames that had condensed into substance poured out like a tide in her palm.
On her forehead, a tiny scar slowly lengthened and curved, gradually tracing into a crescent moon. The scar was fiery red, and there seemed to be a flame burning inside, which made Yan Zining suddenly feel a little more bewitching.
Her body suddenly became transparent, her internal organs disappeared, and only the flames burned in her body. She looked up, and there were two blazing white flames in her eye sockets. Yan Zining opened her mouth, and her voice seemed to have a burning crackling sound: "Let the old lady leave, the old lady can not blame the past." ”
"No, I can't shirk the trust of others." The Faceless Man tightened his robe, his body becoming more and more like a shadow under the light of the fire, "I had long expected that as the fourth lady of the Yan family, there must be something to defend myself, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful...... The side effects should be not small. ”
"It's none of your business." Yan Zining stretched out her arm towards the Faceless One, and the firelight under the transparent skin lit up one by one, and then condensed in the palm of her hand, turning into a pillar of fire, hitting the Faceless One like a wave.
The Faceless's face changed under the mask, and he could feel the majestic power contained in the pillar of fire. He didn't dare to slack off, and with a wave of his hand, a shield magically appeared on his arm. The shield is inscribed with the image of a roaring pale evil spirit, and the word "shadow" is written in an ancient language underneath.
The Faceless raised his shield in front of him and faced the pillar of fire head-on. Dragon-like pillars of fire hit the shield and spread out from both sides of it, like a river divided by stubborn stones. The scorching flames scorched the air, making a piercing scorching sound.
After a few seconds, the pillar of fire finally shattered into sparks and vanished. The Faceless shook his hand, and the burnt shield was already charred black, like mottled cloth. "It is worthy of the fourth lady of the Yan family." The Faceless One chuckled.
"Next, though." The Faceless One quickly pinched the spell in his hand, "It's time for me to show my strength." ”
With the Faceless's movements, the shadowed world suddenly shook and clouds, and the sky darkened, and something was being born.
Yan Zining's eyes flashed with fire, and she stepped into the air step by step and raised her hand.
