Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 88 Assassin

Ning Xuan heard the sound of metal collision and waved her right hand. A dozen black and red vines crisscrossed where the sound came from, sweeping through the area like a dozen spirit snakes. Ning Xuan felt a slight vibration from the vines at her fingertips, and there was an abnormal space vibration thirty meters to her left.

Ning Xuan transmitted the location of the abnormality to Chen Nan through the mental link. Chen Nan did not hesitate at all. He swung the energy sword towards that place like a flash of lightning. "Bang bang bang", he slashed out more than ten times in an instant.

With a "click", a cylindrical robot with sparks emitting from its wires cut fell from mid-air and hit the ground.

Seeing this, Chen Nan stepped forward with a knife to find out what was going on. Suddenly, he heard a squeaking sound of twisted metal. Following the source of the sound, Chen Nan saw that the metal grid next to the public taxi stop on the side of the road suddenly twisted and deformed, and a long tube-like object extended out. A black dot flew towards Ning Xuan silently. Chen Nan felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. He twisted his feet and pounced towards Ning Xuan. No matter what the black dot was, he would block it.

Ning Xuan swung the vines to pull Chen Nan to the side, and at the same time turned around and leaned back. Three cold rays brushed past the ends of her raised hair, and the fine needles nailed into the ground actually corroded sizzling holes in the concrete. Ning Xuan took advantage of the momentum of leaning back to swing the vines to move herself and Chen Nan dozens of meters away. At the same time, she launched the thickest vine to the left rear, and a figure wearing a black tactical suit and a black scarf on his head appeared. Chen Nan immediately attacked him.

Under Chen Nan's restraint, Ning Xuan quickly inserted dozens of vines into the man's body. Seeing that the trap he had spent a lot of money to set up failed to kill Ning Xuan, the man knew that there was no chance today. He shook his body and disappeared out of thin air.

Only one minute had passed since Ning Xuan was attacked. The two cooperated well and reacted quickly. Ning Xuan looked around and immediately noticed something strange. They seemed to be trapped by something. Ning Xuan took out a stone from the space button and hit it hard. "Buzz", an invisible barrier was broken, and Ning Xuan saw Ning Chuchu's surprised and panicked face not far away.

"Sister, what a coincidence, you are also here at Central Star?" Ning Chuchu immediately showed a surprised expression and ran towards her.

Ning Xuan ignored her. Just as the people Yan Fuzhen had arranged around her noticed something was wrong, Ning Xuan had already broken free. They were nearby at this moment. Seeing Ning Xuan glance over, they immediately bowed their heads and saluted. "The assassin is still nearby. Tell Yan Fuzhen to block off the entire street immediately."

Ning Xuan had just buried dozens of ghost vine threads in the assassin's body. She could find the assassin's location based on the ghost vine threads, but the ghost vine was too weak now, so she didn't dare to sense the threads rashly. Once the threads were discovered, with that person's strength, he would be able to destroy them easily.

"Sister, what are you talking about? Why do you want to block this street? Doing this will affect the business of nearby stores, and people's lives will also be affected." Ning Chuchu said angrily.

"She must be related to the assassin just now. Tie her up for me." Ning Xuan pointed at Ning Chuchu.

As soon as the people around Ning Xuan moved, someone immediately stood in front of Ning Chuchu. It was Ning Chuchu's contractor, Wu Di.

"Miss Ning Xuan, you are so arrogant. Do you think you are some important person? You even want to tie up my indentured master. What nonsense are you talking about?" Wu Di was very strong and stood in front of Ning Chuchu like a small mountain.

Chen Nan didn't wait for Wu Di to finish and swung his long sword to chop at him. Wu Di was no match for Chen Nan and was kicked away by Chen Nan after just a few blows. Wu Di was no match for Chen Nan, but Ning Chuchu was not the only one with Wu Di. There were more than a dozen guards in uniform protecting Ning Chuchu.

"Sister, these are the men assigned to me by the grandmother of the Bai family. All of them are retired from the battlefield and are very powerful. Do you know why my grandmother gave me these people? Because she has already recorded me in the family tree, and I am already a member of the Bai family." Ning Chuchu boasted proudly.

At the same time, she secretly cursed the assassin she had arranged for her to be so incompetent. She had carefully planned this assassination and came to the scene in person, just to absorb Ning Xuan's original bloodline as soon as possible when she died. As long as she absorbed her original bloodline, her companion spirit would be complete, and she would be able to be promoted to Class B immediately. By then, she would be an extremely noble controller.

However, now that the assassination attempt had failed, and she heard that Ning Xuan was about to participate in the Alchemist Competition, she didn't know when she would find such a good opportunity again, and she really couldn't wait any longer.

"If you dare to touch a finger on me, the Bai family will not let you go. By the way, aren't you going to participate in the Alchemist Competition? My aunt, Dean Bai Xiurong, is a member of the referee team presiding over the competition. If you don't want to get into trouble, let me leave here quickly." Ning Chuchu saw Ning Xuan's expressionless face at this moment, and was actually very panicked. That's why she kept talking, as if this could comfort herself.

"Ms. Ning, I'm late." Yan Fuzhen's steady voice sounded behind Ning Xuan.

"It's not too late. The assassin just now had a mental power level between A and S. He has talents like invisibility and space travel. He just relied on his talents to create something like a barrier, which consumed a lot of energy. You search the area and bring any suspicious people here. I will identify them." Ning Xuan said. The only clear information she gave was the mental power level, which meant that all those with mental power levels between A and S should be brought here.

As long as the person is brought in front of her, the ghost vine itself will naturally sense it.

"Yes." Yan Fuzhen took the order and left. The people he arranged had already gone to handle the matter. Although he was delayed for a few minutes on the way here, his subordinates' work was actually not delayed at all.

Although Yan Fuzhen's expression remained unchanged from usual, his confidants who had served under him for many years knew that Lord Yan was in a terrible mood at the moment.

Despite the strict protection of Lord Yan, Miss Ning was actually assassinated on the street. It was only after Miss Ning broke the deadlock herself that they discovered that Lord Yan could not give an explanation to the Marshal, and they, in turn, could not give an explanation to Lord Yan.

He couldn't think about it. The moment he thought about it, he felt pain all over his body. He failed to protect his master. All the people on duty today would probably be beaten. However, if they could catch the murderer in time, it could be considered as meritorious service. Thinking of this, the people who secretly protected Ning Xuan were like chicken blood, catching people everywhere.
