Chapter 039: Derived from the shadow

Xiao Shisan was shocked into a cold sweat in an instant.

He couldn't imagine that in a small place like Qingcheng, someone could sneak into the Xiao family silently and kill all the way to the Xiao family's backyard.

The mansion's defense system is extremely advanced.

A huge amount of money was spent.

Not to mention people, even if a mosquito wants to fly in, it must be screened by a defense AI program before it is a hazard.

Other words......

The person behind him is a master!

It's too late, it's too soon.

Xiao Shisan's knife flicked up with his thumb was able to block the killing intent erased by the person behind him.

"The strength attribute is not high."

This extremely dangerous confrontation, Xiao Shisan made this judgment in an instant.

If the opponent's strength attribute is extremely high, just with the strength of his little sword bounced up, he couldn't stop the opponent's killing move at all.

Thinking of this, the corners of Xiao Shisan's mouth hooked up with a cruel sneer.

The katana remained in mid-air.

At this moment, time seems to stand still.

Xiao Thirteen's mind swirled several thoughts.

The thought is terrifying.

It's all killing intent.

For a true master, life and death are only in the blink of an eye.

So he kills people with only one knife.

Time stands still......

It's moving!

Xiao Thirteen's right hand reached out like lightning, and he held the katana in mid-air with incomparable precision.

His agility stat is as high as 4.1, and he has a speed and reflexes that far exceed those of ordinary people.

After holding the katana, Xiao Shisan's right wrist flicked, and the katana sank into the scabbard again.

And at this moment, the man behind him also took back the short knife that killed him.

But...... But it's slower than Xiao Thirteen!

A master's move, even if it is just a little mistake, a little hesitation, is enough to affect the victory or defeat, and decide ......

Life-and-death.

"The mysterious killer behind him, the agility attribute is not high!"

Xiao 13 made a judgment again.

With this attribute value, can you sneak into the Xiao Mansion silently?

Xiao Shisan turned to the right suddenly, and his right palm probed and froze, and the action was done in one go.

Out of the knife!

Like lightning!

It's so fast that you can barely see the trajectory of the knife!

Draw your sword and slash ...... Iai!

"Boom!"

In the dark night, a dazzling white line was drawn in an instant!

That's the trajectory of the little knife pulling out.

This is an ancient martial art that has almost been lost.

In this era, there are very few people who can still be intoxicated with practicing this boring ancient martial art.

And those who are good at drawing swords and killing people are even rarer.

Legend has it that he practiced the "knife drawing technique" to the extreme, and was even able to accurately split a bullet in two.

Although Xiao Shisan has not yet been able to step into the ultimate realm, this kind of knife speed is more than enough to kill a person.

At the moment of the knife, Xiao 13 used his eyes to catch a glimpse of the true face of the mysterious person behind him.

When he saw it clearly, a trace of fluctuation flashed in his cold eyes.

He never imagined that a mysterious killer who could infiltrate the Xiao family silently turned out to be just an ordinary young man on the surface.

The eyes were staggered, and Xiao Shisan could even see a faint shock in the other party's eyes.

Scold.

Presumably, the other party didn't expect that he would be able to block his killer knife.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

In Xiao Shisan's eyes, since he has already taken out the knife, the other party will definitely become a dead man.

Xiao Thirteen's knife, as light as a white horse passing through a gap, slashed through Rin's neck.

The essence of knife drawing begins with speed and ends with accuracy.

Xiao Thirteen's knife had just swept past Rin's neck and was already in its sheath.

"It's over."

Xiao Thirteen's face was expressionless.

In fact, there is a trace of regret in my heart.

This young man has good potential, and the silent knife from behind him almost cut Xiao Shisan's throat.

But, so what?

These are the cruel rules of the underworld.

It's not that the strong will survive, but the one who will survive in the end...... is stronger.

Xiao 13 was preparing to bury one more corpse.

But suddenly—

There was a sudden sharp pain in the neck!

From behind his back, the same hand, the same dark red dagger, once again, silently grazed his neck.

The only difference from last time was that last time Xiao Shisan blocked it with his thumb flick knife, but this time, he didn't block it.

The sharp blade severed his trachea and severed his carotid artery.

"How...... Goo ......"

Xiao Shisan only said two words, and the rest of the words could no longer be said.

How can it be!

He obviously used the knife drawing technique to cut off the opponent's neck.

How can it be fake?

Could it be that there are actually two people behind him?

When did you get behind you?

Xiao 13 fell to the ground in despair.

He looked up with difficulty, and for a moment, his face was filled with consternation.

Where is there a ...... in front of him Person?

……

……

After confirming that the knife-wielding creature was completely dead, Irin breathed a sigh of relief.

If he could know Xiao Shisan's thoughts before he died, he would definitely secretly admire it.

Yi Rin's agility and strength attributes are not as good as Xiao Thirteen.

Xiao Shisan's agility attribute is estimated to be quite high.

At least a cut above Irin.

Moreover, Xiao Shisan has been practicing ancient martial arts for a long time, and he has brought his agility attributes to the extreme.

But there is one point, Xiao Shisan guessed wrong.

With Irin's habit of thinking about everything before acting, how could he not make a plan for "what to do if the first knife is blocked"?

In fact, when approaching Xiao Thirteen's back, Yi Rin had already noticed the black scabbard on Xiao Thirteen's waist.

In the shortest amount of time, Irin came up with 10 plans.

Blocked by the other party with a knife, there are 3 follow-up plans......

Dodged by the other party, according to different positions and angles, there are 4 ways to make up the knife......

The wound is not deep enough, and there are also 3 plans......

If it weren't for the time constraints, Irin would have to draw up at least 20 or more plans to be safe enough.

"Knife drawing? Terrible. ”

Irin muttered in a low voice, in admiration.

He casually picked up Xiao Thirteen's weapon and looked at it for a moment.

Although the material is definitely not as good as the "Blood Jasmine" made by Xingchen Steel, it seems to be a good ancient knife.

"Put it away first, but unfortunately I don't have time to ask this guy what this knife is about."

Anyway, the storage space is very empty, and it is used as a refill.

Irin thought back to the scene just now, and he couldn't get enough of it.

The use of derivative skills of [Shadow] can be regarded as a preliminary development.

And it was the first time it was successfully used.

Theoretically, when an object is moving rapidly, the human eye can still retain its image for about 0.1-0.4 seconds after the image seen by the human eye disappears, which is called the "afterimage phenomenon".

Of course, Irin's agility attribute is not yet to the point where it can leave an afterimage.

Far from it.

But the derivative skills he developed use similar principles.

At the moment when Xiao 13 turned around, Yi Rin canceled the [Shadow Following] skill within 0.5 seconds, and in the opponent's field of vision, Yi Rin's presence was the strongest at this moment.

In the shortest possible time, re-enter the state of [shadow-following].

At this time, Xiao Thirteen's entire attention had already been attracted by Yi Rin when he had the strongest sense of existence.

The more focused the human gaze, the greater the blind spot.

The more you look at it, the harder it is to concentrate.

Therefore, when Xiao Shisan's attention was focused on a certain point, there were all relative "blind spots" around him.

So much so that Xiao 13 didn't notice that Yi Rin had circled behind him like a shadow in an instant.

This new skill is easy to say, but it's extremely difficult and has a lot of limitations.

Judge the direction of the opponent's turn, dominant hand, knife angle, blind spot, and night ...... All kinds of conditions are indispensable.

"The new skill is called ...... Let's leave a trace. ”

This is not an apostle skill, it is just a way to apply the skill, so you can only choose your own name.

And...... Cannot be authenticated.

Irin was satisfied with the taste for his name.

Even if the new skill fails, Irin has enough follow-up plans, such as ...... Psychic shock.

So...... Irin's not panicked at all.

Yi Rin noticed that there was a pit next to Xiao Thirteen.

It was full of corpses.

Irin just hurriedly looked at it, his expression slightly moved.

Xiao Mo really went crazy.

actually used a bounty of 100 million as bait to attract more people to accompany Xiao Yang's funeral.

Yi Rin sighed, noncommittal to Xiao Mo's approach.

He himself is not a good person, but he has his own bottom line after all.

Yi Rin didn't want to think about it either, and kicked Xiao Thirteen's body into the grave.

"I guess I've found a place for you to bury your bones."

Xiao Shisan's face still had a dead expression, and he rolled into the pit with a grunt.

At this moment, a faint moan came from the pile of corpses.

“?”
