Chapter 163 - Thousand-faced Assassin
When she saw the corpse that still had a trace of warmth to it, the girl in pink’s expression remained unchanged even though a strange glint flickered in her gaze.
The four Southern Mountains Sect Cultivators were tense and gripped their weapons tightly.
As body-tempering cultivators, they would naturally carry melee combat weapons with them, similar to the likes of Su Zimo’s Cold Moon Saber and little fatty’s gigantic axe.
Of the four Southern Mountains Sect Cultivators, three of them held swords while the other one wielded a hook.
The itinerant cultivator, Yan Fei, was barehanded. However, his sleeves were wide as if he had tricks hidden in them.
With a glance, Su Zimo could vaguely guess that Yan Fei’s weapon should be a pair of arm guards.
It was a well-hidden, short and fierce type of weapon that could be used both defensively and offensively. It was equivalent to him fighting with his arms, except that it was invincible and indestructible.
It was obvious that this underground place was far from friendly. Other than the fact that they were charmed to their toes by the girl in pink, the reason why the five of them were willing to follow along was because they were truly capable.
However, what surprised the girl in pink was that the thousand-faced assassin chose to retreat after killing two people.
This meant that there was someone among them that made the thousand-faced assassin feel threatened, so he did not continue to take the risk.
Within the same level, the thousand-faced assassin had killed countless of geniuses and without failing once. His remarkable track record rendered many demon cultivators speechless!
On the one hand, it was because the thousand-faced assassin’s methods were cold and harsh. On the other hand, it was also proof of his cautiousness.
Just who was it that caused this strongest fiend heir of Hidden Death Sect to feel apprehensive?
The girl in pink swept her gaze across Wu Xiangming and the other cultivators, finally landing on Su Zimo.
Even though the process of the thousand-faced assassin’s appearance to his exit seemed slow, it happened within a split second in reality. Wu Xiangming and the rest did not have time to react to it at all.
Among those present, Su Zimo was the calmest. Not only did he realize something was amiss, he could even retaliate!
It was evident who the thousand-faced assassin was wary of.
This was the first time that the girl in pink realized Su Zimo was not as pathetic as she had imagined.
It was especially so when he fired the arrows earlier on. That handsome man was in fact exuding an aura so fierce it could destroy everything!
Not everyone would dare to lay a hand against a fiend heir of Hidden Death Sect.
The girl in pink’s eyes lit up as she thought to herself, ‘The way he attacked so decisively… I wonder if he would still behave the same way if he knew it was the thousand-faced assassin.”
“You know who that was?”
Su Zimo stared into the girl in pink’s eyes and asked, frowning.
She blinked and replied, “No, I don’t.”
Su Zimo retracted his gaze.
He knew that if the girl in pink did not wish to tell, he would not get the true answer no matter how he questioned.
Not far away, there were now only two of the four Southern Mountains Sect cultivators left.
Even though the both of them looked pained, they immediately removed the storage bags from the two corpses and kept it for themselves.
‘And you call that a righteous cultivator of the orthodox path.’
When the girl in pink saw that, she let out a cold smirk beneath her veil.
