As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

From within Zhang Yaʼs gown, a dark shadow shot out abruptly.

The old ladyʼs sweeping black knife struck this shadow, and a sound like steel clashing against hardened iron rang out!

The huge recoil forced the old ladyʼs black knife to nearly fly out of her hand.

Qi surged wildly, and True Qi roared!

With a turn of her long knife, the old lady slashed out again, her expression cold as she aimed for Zhang Ya!

In that split second, she caught a glimpse of what that shadow—that had emerged from Zhang Ya—was.

It was...

A snake!

A mechanical snake built from material superior to fine steel!

In that instant, it was the Mechanical Snakeʼs lightning-quick surge that had struck down the old ladyʼs lethal blow.

”A Mechanical Snake?”

The old ladyʼs mind buzzed.

The black knife she swung out anew was blocked by the Mechanical Snake once again! Enjoy exclusive adventures from

Clang clang clang clang clang—

Several strikes in a row, and the Mechanical Snake, so agile it seemed nothing like a mechanism, parried all her attacks!

This...

The old lady assassin felt a sinking feeling in her heart.

Tang Clan Mechanism Beast!

Suddenly.

The old ladyʼs hair stood on end as she sensed an unprecedented and extreme threat to her life!

It was as if, while climbing a mountain, the entire peak was blasted apart and began to collapse in front of her, plunging her vision into darkness and oppression.

It was the towering figure of a man, as massive as a wall, overwhelming and unapproachable!

The old ladyʼs toes struck the ground, causing small pits to fissure and explode as she tried to launch herself away.

A black pearl appeared in her hand.

She crushed the black pearl fiercely, and in an instant, a puff of black smoke exploded, completely enveloping her figure. The black smoke could block the probing of Divine Sense and also possessed qualities similar to the Corpse God Cultʼs Space-Time Corpse Technique!

This was an escape method possessed by the Hunting God Pavilionʼs assassins,

enabling their safety.

But...

Only once.

Wrapped in the black smoke, the old lady sought to escape and flee.
