Assassin Seven, starting in Shennong Kingdom!

Chapter 131 Qilin Steps, Intimidation

boom!

After dodging the knife, he kicked Qi away.

The hilt and blade of the Demon Blade Thousand Blades separated, and countless fragments exploded instantly, slicing wildly in the surrounding area!

Demon Blade Storm!

Was that a killing move from the start? That's certainly decisive.

After glancing at the surrounding blade fragments, Qin Ming unleashed a burst of true energy.

Qi's pupils trembled violently as he raised the hilt of his sword to block in front of him.

boom!

Bang! Whoosh! Whoosh!

All the fragments flew out like bullets, embedding themselves in the walls and ground in all directions, with some even falling into the pool at the edge of the training ground.

Some of them even bounced back directly onto Qi.

puff!

Even though she could control the fragments with her qi while holding the hilt of the knife, Qi's skill was simply insufficient to regain control immediately under such force!

Several bloody marks instantly appeared on his body. Even more terrifying, one of the fragments hit the scabbard and sent him flying!

His expression was horrified, and even after being hit hard, his first reaction was still to look at Qin Ming.

However, Qin Ming was no longer there.

"Nice knife."

"?!"

Oops!

Qi was startled and almost instinctively swung his sword behind him.

Snapped!

As a result, the movement was anticipated, and the wrist was grabbed instantly.

As if without needing to think, Qi leaped up, twisted her body in mid-air, and broke Qin Ming's Tendon-Dislocating Bone-Breaking Hand. Then, while still in mid-air, she swung the scabbard in her other hand toward Qin Ming's eyes.

A single leaf blocks the view.

At the same time, he kicked out, the whole movement without the slightest hesitation, as if it had been planned in advance.

It's like... instinct.

Whoosh!

After completing a set of movements, Qi used the momentum to break free and flashed to the training ground twenty meters away, his gaze serious.

But the next moment, his eyes widened.

"The response was also good."

Qin Ming stood where Qi had just been, holding the hilt of the Demon Blade in his hand, and casually swung it.

Whizzing! !

Almost instantly, all the fragments of the demonic sword flew back and formed a complete demonic sword with cracks all over it.

when?

The demon sword was stolen without my knowledge...

He must have broken free from the grappling technique, and his hand did not lose sensation. What happened in that instant?

Qi subconsciously looked to her left hand, her gaze becoming extremely serious.

Even now, his hand was still holding the knife, but the knife was indeed snatched away by Qin Ming in that instant, exceeding his almost instinctive reaction speed!

This was the first time he had encountered something like this.

and……

After witnessing Qin Ming's almost brutal way of wielding the demonic blade, Qi felt a tangible sense of oppression for the first time.

Can he also wield the demonic blade...?

"I see……"

Qin Ming nodded, having already figured out the principle behind the Demon Blade.

Strictly speaking, this knife is a replica of the Phantom Blade Demon, but it's a bit inferior.

It is on the same level as the Ghost Blade, the difference being that the Demon Blade Thousand Blades focuses more on lethality, while the Ghost Blade creates illusions, making the latter easier to counter.

While he was speaking, Qi actually tried to escape.

Their judgment is also quite good.

Just as he turned around and took a step, Qin Ming was already standing in front of him, casually tossing the demonic blade to him and laughing, "If I'm not mistaken, you should have only learned one mediocre internal skill, one movement technique, and one assassination blade technique. To be able to use them to this extent is not bad."

Seven, “…”

How strong is this person who could see through my martial arts with just one move?

Qin Ming didn't even use a question; he was certain.

Putting all that aside, with his medical skills, he could even spot several hidden injuries on Qi's body at a glance.

At the same time, some people admired Qi's skill, saying that it was actually quite average.

If we were to categorize the skill levels of top-tier martial artists, we would say: ordinary, top-tier, and peak.

So Qi barely reached the top level, not even the peak.

His martial arts foundation is negligible; aside from a decent talent for manipulating objects with qi, he only possesses the most basic assassin's movement techniques and knife skills.

Swordsmanship is the most basic and universal martial art.

However, this movement technique does resemble the "Qilin Step".

Given these conditions, an average person would at best possess only ordinary first-class strength, but Qi, with the aid of the Demon Blade, could reach the peak of first-class strength, or even be several levels stronger.

Overall assessment: First-class skill foundation and top-notch combat talent.

A born assassin?

"Who taught you that Qilin Step?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Qi finally spoke, "My master."

"The one who taught you how to kill?"

"...I only have one master."

"I understand. It seems you found a fragment of the manual, which is incomplete or not fully taught to you. That's why your movement technique has obvious flaws. You can deal with ordinary first-class masters with your reaction time, but if you encounter a first-class master with a deep foundation in martial arts, your advantage will be minimal."

After saying that, Qin Ming waved his hand, and a secret manual appeared in his hand without him noticing.

He casually tossed it to Qi, "This is the complete 'Qilin Steps.' I'll give you thirty minutes to learn it thoroughly, then you can leave, otherwise..."

Qi didn't speak, but after frowning slightly, she directly opened the manual and started reading.

He didn't seem worried at all that Qin Ming might suddenly attack him.

Qin Ming nodded calmly.

Knowing that escape from their grasp is impossible, they will fight with all their might even for the slightest chance.

Whether he can learn it in thirty minutes depends on his talent.

Having learned part of it, mastering the rest shouldn't be difficult.

……

Thirty minutes passed quickly. Qin Ming, keeping track of the time, suddenly raised his hand and waved.

Whoosh!

Countless water droplets burst open in the pool, transforming into sharp spikes that attacked Qi.

Although it was water, Qi dared not treat it as real water, as the true energy contained within it was not on the same level as his.

Swish!

As he moved nimbly left and right, Qi unleashed the complete Qilin Step.

The signature move of the former chief shadow assassin, Qilin.

This was originally supposed to be a unique skill of the Qilin, but this guy always carries several secret manuals with him, as well as a book on trendy hairstyles. He probably accidentally "lost" some equipment at some point.

This top-notch speed and agility make it the perfect fit for an assassin.

It could even be considered a top-tier martial art!

Swish swish! !

After dodging several attacks, Qi couldn't avoid a stream of water, so she used her demonic blade as a medium to form a barrier of true energy to block it.

however……

boom!

The defense was breached instantly!

He dodged the attack by turning his head, a bloody gash appearing on his face, as the water instantly pierced through the ground behind him.

With a jolt in her pupils, a flash of red light appeared in Qi's eyes, and then she used all her strength to unleash the Qilin Step... and turned to flee.

Qin Ming did not stop him further.

……

despair……

A figure appeared beside Qin Ming, with long hair cascading down her back and a calm gaze.

"Just go to the Shadow Organization and give them a warning."

"Yes."

So much time has passed that people can forget many things.

……

They made their way back to the Shadow Organization.

Qi hesitated for a moment before entering the assassin's headquarters.

Ok?

But when he walked up the steps and saw the scene, he instinctively gripped the knife in his hand.

All the major shadow assassins on the scene were injured!

Shimen and Feiniao lay on the ground, their fate unknown.

The assassin leader on the high platform also appears to be injured...

A figure calmly walked up the steps, wearing a mask, and passed by.

Ka!

Qi Yi instantly restrained his instinctive urge to draw his sword, desperately controlled his breathing, and froze on the spot.

"Chief, who exactly is she...!?"

"Humph!"

The ghost snorted coldly, its expression extremely gloomy.

Manjusaka and the others dared not speak again.

Only he himself knows best how he got to this position.

Damn it... how can he be so strong?!
