1367: Chapter 1353 Fishing 1367: Chapter 1353 Fishing At the mont he beca aware of the stalker, the mont he confird that the watcher in the sky had been there for a while, Lu Ping’an knew it was only a matter of ti before he was caught.
Whether they used vehicles to speed up the chase or set an ambush ahead, they probably couldn’t do it anymore.
So, rather than going too far ahead and God knows what he would encounter, it was better to get rid of the trouble before hitting the road.
Thus, Lu Ping’an simply sat down to wait, to see how long it would take them to catch up…
Those on paper capable of threatening Lu Ping’an were basically Big Shots, and they were not ones to honestly set an ambush in the snow.
“Hey, at least say sothing, greet first.”
Speaking calmly to the seemingly empty snowy field, Lu Ping’an said.
The next mont, within the storm, a slender Ghost Shadow appeared.
A strange qi wrapped around its limbs, and normal eyes could probably only see a phantom…
but in Lu Ping’an’s “Eye,” it was a creature without a trace of life qi.
Undead?
Puppet?
Or sothing even stranger….
“Interesting.”
Since the opponent had no interest in small talk, Lu Ping’an also went straight to action.
His flicking finger brought forth the deadly yet warm Sun Fla.
The fire from the flick of his finger shattered the atmosphere concealed by the wind and snow, the strange Golden Fireball piercing through the slender ghost shadow,
But nothing happened…
The fla burned slowly on the ground, yet it touched no life.
“Bang!”
The next mont, the lethal Ghost Shadow floated above Lu Ping’an’s head, its swinging arm directly knocked the young man back.
“Who?” Lu Ping’an murmured softly, expecting a response.
“Don’t know.” But Chris’s answer was disappointing.
“What?”
“Don’t know.”
After the simple two rounds of communication, Lu Ping’an confird that the other party was a naless individual…
If a high-level rcenary known as a Slaughterer wasn’t well-known, that was quite bad for his opponents.
The most likely reason this Rule-level or higher senior assassin was not famous was that he had killed all his prey and witnesses.
“Brutal.”
Beneath the flat words was a storm-like frenzy of whips.
This ti, accompanying the flying Magical Vine were deadly Poison Liquid and blaze.
But still, it was all aningless.
The Ghost Shadow could be touched when it attacked, but when being attacked, it was simply passed through…
that featureless long face cracked a strange smile, as if mocking the prey for their ignorance.
Illusion?
Manipulation?
Different-dinsion Plane?
At this mont, Lu Ping’an, who knew too much, was sowhat troubled; he couldn’t determine what the opponent’s ability was, and naturally couldn’t directly target it.
“Then, let see…
where exactly are you?”
The young man opened his closed eyes, his lifeless pupils looking left and right, then he started to smile.
“So that’s how it is…
Go.”
The next mont, under Lu Ping’an’s command, the Wolf pack appeared out of nowhere.
So rushed towards the Ghost Shadow, others toward the depths of the Snow Mountain.
The attacking Wolf pack was shattered in an instant, but it also wasted the Ghost Shadow’s ti, and the slow creature could only watch the Demon Wolves disappear into the wind and snow.
“…If you don’t hurry up, your real body won’t be of use anymore.”
Lu Ping’an’s words made the slender Ghost Shadow pause, the next mont, it vanished without a trace.
Lu Ping’an smiled and shook his head, just about to get up…
“They’re really decisive.”
He stopped, chasing them was now pointless.
Before, his “eyes” had successfully scanned the surrounding lifeforms and detected, about seven or eight kiloters away beneath the snowy ground, a diamond-shaped coffin that seed to contain so sign of life.
Now, as Ghost Shadow vanished, that lifeform’s signs of life surged several tis more active, and then without hesitation, it turned and ran away.
This, perhaps, was the true style of a professional assassin, devoid of any thrill of life-or-death monts.
Once their “trick” was exposed, they chose to give up without any hesitation.
Their speed was very fast, and the direction of escape was decisive too.
With Lu Ping’an starting to give chase at this ti, it would be very difficult to catch up…
It looked like they were also equipped with so sort of snowmobile-like transportation?
Lu Ping’an continued to sit down and stoke the fire, but he added more grilled at and liquor because, after all…
“…..Yo, quite fast.”
“Not bad, this kid’s close-combat abilities aren’t up to scratch.”
The golden “Swallow” quietly descended, and hanging below it was a skinny white male.
However, the man now had one arm missing, his legs gone, and his face bruised and swollen all over, he was in very bad shape.
“It’s not my fault…
Xue En said he was going into hibernation, and he was really pissy about having to co out and work.”
“Pandas hibernate, huh…
eh, okay, black and white bears, black and white bears.”
Hua Xueyi tossed the assassin to one side, sat down, and took a heavy swig from the liquor cup she had passed to herself.
“Ha, that brought back to life…
I’m the one who really needs hibernation now.
This damn weather is murder on my skin (cells).”
Watching the “forthright” lady in front of him, and rembering the ladylike senior who laughed so elegantly before, even Lu Ping’an could only sigh and lant the fickle nature of ti.
While drinking and chatting casually, they waited a good ten or more minutes before a “polar bear” appeared at the entrance of the cave.
Lu Ping’an was surprised at first, and then noticed the layer of snow covering that person from head to toe, making them look much larger, before hesitating and asking.
“Xue En?
Did you run into an avalanche?”
“There are no big Snow Mountains here; how could there be an avalanche…
I just fell into a pit, and there were two hibernating polar bears inside.”
Brushing the snow off his face and body, Xue En walked in with his head lowered.
It was only then that Lu Ping’an noticed that he was dragging two “fellow” polar bears behind him…
It looked like he was planning to have an impromptu feast?
Lu Ping’an was alone, but he was not truly “solo.”
In such a forsaken place, where most unmanned machinery would be destroyed outright, the surveillance bird’s-eye view efficiency that even “demonized avians” could achieve, Hua Xueyi naturally did it with ease.
Two guards, one hanging high in the sky, the other set free to roam after Lu Ping’an had confird the tracker’s presence.
When the assassin’s true body was detected, it was only natural that the two of them cornered him…
Hua Xueyi tangled with the opponent while waiting for the panda to get into position, and then it was a fair two-on-one fight.
“Not going to interrogate him?”
“No point.
But since you brought it up…
Fang Wen.”
Another Rule-level individual ca out strangely, and right upon her exit, she stiffened for a mont…
This environnt was not too kind to her chanical parts.
But since the boss had requested it, she still took the assassin away towards the outside.
Then ca a series of screams and howls; a quarter hour later, Fang Wen returned alone, completely clean.
“He’s from Grey Mountain Company.
He’s one of their top assassins; this ti he brought his own squad of rcenaries for the job.
There are also a few logisticians back in the town we left from…”
Unlike in stories and dramas, prisoners captured in reality rarely endure torture.
Those carefully designed “little tricks” can make most tough guys beg for death quickly.
“Thought so, pointless.”
Lu Ping’an sighed and retracted his Eye of Truth, which had been in a far-seeing state; there were no living creatures for several kiloters around.
The assassin?
Fang Wen had already dealt with him…
From the energy reflex on her, it seed she didn’t waste his “materials.”
Such rcenaries who did their job for money, once they took on a task, they had no knowledge of or interest in their clients, and interrogation wouldn’t yield any useful information.
“…
Head of Group Lu, your bounty has gone up again.
That’s why he took this job here; he was tempted by the money offered from his hotown.”
“Eh, they’re up to date with their intel, knowing our progress here?
It should take more than ten years for the news to reach that far…”
“No, it’s that the recent profits from Green Planet have been pretty good.
Apparently, there are so very valuable new products and minerals.
That Aus Corporation was pissed off and raised the bounty.”
Lu Ping’an chuckled and shook his head; perhaps this was the way of Jianghu, always with unexpected sources of grudges.
But his lack of interest in the man’s background didn’t an he had no interest in his abilities.
