Chapter 62: Killing The Assassin, Becoming A Seventh-Grade Magician

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the instant when Meng Lei jumped away, a small and skinny man with a large bamboo hat on his head and wrapped head to toe in black clothing showed up. He had a dazed and stupefied expression on his face as he stared at Meng Lei, who had jumped more than ten meters away.

(⊙o⊙)

“He’s that fast!?”

A moment ago, he had detected someone approaching, so he had concealed himself. Right after that, Meng Lei had appeared within his sight.

He was so young!

And he was a Magician, too!

So, how strong could he even be?

Thus, he had promptly launched an attack.

Little did he imagine that Meng Lei would actually move so quickly. His outburst of speed in that instant just now had definitely surpassed a Fifth-Grade Warrior’s. Was he really a goddamn Magician?

“I’ve actually made a mistake in my judgment!”

The small and skinny man licked his lips, a dark and deep look in his eyes.

That was so close!!!

Meng Lei landed on a tree, a layer of cold sweat forming on his back. It was fortunate that he had reacted in time just now. Otherwise, his throat would definitely have been slit!

That was really such a close shave!

He suddenly thought of a saying, “In Magical Beast Forest, what one needs to be on guard against the most aren’t Magical Beasts, but humans!”

Magical Beast Forest was independent of the four great empires. There were no laws, no rules and regulations, and no morals here. It was a wild, savage, and uncivilized territory. It was the Magical Beasts’ paradise and the adventurers’ heaven!

Most of the people that came here were here for magic cores. Some hunted Magical Beasts honestly and honorably to obtain magic cores, but some didn’t go about it in the same way. Instead, they pointed their blades at their own kind.

After all, it was obvious that one could obtain magic cores a lot faster by killing others.

This led to humans becoming a more dangerous presence in the Magical Beast Forest instead!

Very evidently, the small and skinny man in front of Meng Lei right now belonged to this group of people. The moment he thought of that, the look in Meng Lei’s eyes turned cold and frosty, and murderous intent arose in his eyes.

To actually dare to set his sights on me, he ought to die!

The small and skinny man glanced at Meng Lei. Then, he disappeared from the spot where he was. Meng Lei secretly became more cautious and vigilant—he didn’t think that the other party would leave just like that!. And true enough...

Whoosh!

An almost indiscernible sound of something slicing through the air quietly rang out. An icy glint suddenly flew out from the left and shot right toward Meng Lei’s temples.

A person’s temples were awfully fragile. Once struck, there was no doubt that the person would die!

Meng Lei pulled back and evaded the attack. Then, he heard a crash—the man had actually inexplicably emerged from underneath his feet and was plunging the dagger in his hand toward Meng Lei’s heart!

The dagger reflected a vibrant green glow in the sunlight. It was obvious that it was covered in poison. Should one be even the slightest bit struck by it, they would lose their life for sure!

A diversion tactic? How cunning!

Meng Lei didn’t panic at all. His right hand suddenly transformed into a dragon claw and, in one motion, grabbed hold of the dagger plunging toward his heart. Then, as the man watched him in stunned surprise, he rammed his knee upward brutally.

Splurt!

As though something had been forcibly burst, the man let out a shrill scream that sounded like the squeals of a pig being slaughtered, and his whole self launched right into the air!

“Die!”

Meng Lei let out a cold snort and casually flung out a lightning lance. It instantly pierced through the man’s heart and pinned him onto a large tree!

“Y... you’re... a... a... dragon...”

The man’s mouth opened and closed. He wanted to say something, but in the end, before he could utter anything, his head fell to the side... and he croaked!

“Phew!”

Meng Lei breathed a big sigh of relief, and his heart finally settled at ease. That guy was an assassin. He could appear and disappear like a ghost and was incredibly sly and cunning. Even a Sixth-Grade Warrior would perish in his hands if they were careless!

What a pity that he had bumped into Meng Lei instead!

“Murderers will also be killed by others someday!”
