Full-Time Magister: A Hellish Start, But the Shadow King

Chapter 169 Timely Strike, Instantly Annihilating a Super-Rank Individual!

The members of the Kyushu National Government team also had a long and exciting time.

Zhao Manyan, who usually seemed the most optimistic, was preoccupied with worries at this moment.

Zhao Manyan pulled Mo Fan aside and, after explaining his concerns, walked along the coastal embankment with a worried expression.

A loving couple walked by not far away. The man was probably in his early forties, with a noticeable scar on his forehead and a dark complexion.

"Friend, could you take a picture for us?" the scarred man asked.

In the past, Zhao Manyan would probably have ignored it. When would anyone dare to show affection in front of him?

But now, Zhao Manyan was feeling down and thought that he could do one more good deed before his father passed away, so he agreed.

"Okay." Zhao Man reached out and took the camera.

Unexpectedly, the moment they touched him, a terrifying glint appeared in the scarred man's eyes.

A long, venomous snake with eight claws emerged from the man's sleeve and bit Zhao Manyan's arm hard, injecting venom into his body.

Zhao Manyan felt as if his blood had frozen instantly, rushing through every part of his body.

"You!" Zhao Manyan was shocked and hurriedly used defensive measures to isolate the two people in front of him.

But just as he was about to complete the magic, his mind suddenly went blank, and his consciousness became somewhat blurred.

The terrible toxin made it impossible for him to use magic completely.

It wasn't just the physical harm; it also left the mind numb and confused.

"Who are you people? Why are you trying to harm me!" Zhao Manyan shouted, his face filled with despair.

"You talk too much nonsense!"

The woman in the couple was of average appearance, and she pulled out an extremely long and narrow poison needle.

The poison needle is the length of a short sword, and the accompanying poison is extremely insidious, capable of easily killing a high-level mage.

It might not have much effect on demons of the same level, but it is extremely deadly to high-level mages with only servant-level physiques.

"Who sent you!" Zhao Manyan had barely uttered the question when he already knew the answer in his heart, and he angrily questioned:

"Zhao Youqian! Was it you?! You had the guts to send someone to kill me, but not the guts to see me one last time?!"

Just as Zhao Manyan had expected, a man completely covered up emerged from behind a tree not far away.

Only his malicious eyes were visible, staring intently at Zhao Manyan.

"Stop wasting time talking to him, just do it." Zhao Youqian urged the two assassins from the Assassin Hall.

Upon seeing this person, Zhao Manyan's entire face twisted into a ferocious grimace.

"Zhao Youqian, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!" Zhao Manyan stared at his elder brother and said through gritted teeth.

"Unfortunately, you won't even have the chance to become a ghost. I will have your soul purified as well."

Zhao Youqian's eyes were practically bursting with jealousy; he was finally going to get rid of Zhao Manyan, this thorn in his side.

Hearing their employer's urging, the two assassins no longer hesitated.

Their superior cultivation levels erupted at this moment, and their astonishing aura made Zhao Manyan breathless.

The scarred man unleashed a powerful toxin, intending to completely poison Zhao Manyan.

Suddenly, a shadow fell over the two of them.

The two were, after all, super-level mages with powerful mental perception, and they immediately dodged and avoided danger the moment it came.

Boom! ! !

A tall figure blocked Zhao Manyan's path.

Looking at that figure, Zhao Manyan immediately recognized it as one of Cheng Xiao's strongest undead soldiers!

"Advanced Commander level... This feels so familiar," the female assassin murmured.

"Of course I'm familiar with him. Have you forgotten the captain of the Kyushu National Team who appeared on the big screen?" the scarred man said in a deep voice.

"Him? I heard that even the most skilled craftsmen fell victim to him," the female assassin said with interest.

The craftsman is the star of the Assassin's Hall, one of the Four Craftsmen!

At the same time, it is also a rare disgrace to the Assassin Hall!

Not only did they fail to complete the mission and get killed, but they also dragged their employer down with them.

"Heh, no matter how strong he is, he's just a high-level mage." The scarred man didn't care at all, pointing at Yegrit and saying in a deep voice:

"Tell your master that if he doesn't want to die, he shouldn't meddle in other people's business!"

Ignoring the scarred man, Jaglitter walked to Zhao Manyan's side and lifted his large cloak.

The black cloak, like a swaying shadow, slowly formed a black 'door'!

Just as everyone was still wondering about Yeglit's actions, Cheng Xiao slowly walked out from the cloak-covered "door".

"Brother Cheng!" Zhao Manyan exclaimed with delight upon seeing Cheng Xiao.

He never expected that at the most critical moment, Cheng Xiao would step forward to save him.

Cheng Xiao patted Zhao Manyan on the shoulder, and a healing white light appeared in his hand, causing the toxins in Zhao Manyan's body to be visibly eliminated.

His skin, which had previously lost its color, returned to normal, and apart from Zhao Manyan himself looking somewhat weak, there were no other abnormalities.

"How is this possible! My poison is so potent that even a high-level mage can't easily neutralize it!" The scarred man's expression changed.

"His current aura is only at the peak of the high-level. Kill him quickly, otherwise we'll alert the super-level mages of Venice, and we'll be in danger!" the female assassin said hurriedly.

Seeing this, Zhao Manyan weakly reminded him:

"Brother Cheng, be careful! They're high-level mages!"

Cheng Xiao simply nodded slightly:

"You should get some rest."

"Kid, you can still get lost now. You only have this one chance!" the scarred man threatened.

Before Cheng Xiao could respond, a cold glint descended upon him—it was the poisoned dagger the female assassin had been holding!

The poisonous stinger, somehow controlled, silently appeared on Cheng Xiao's head, aiming straight for his heart and soul, intending to assassinate him quickly!

Strangely, the poisoned thorn stopped when it was ten centimeters away from Cheng Xiao.

No matter how hard the female assassin tried, she couldn't let the poison sting fall even an inch.

"I don't have time to play with you guys."

As soon as Cheng Xiao finished speaking, a sharp blade suddenly flew out from behind the female assassin's shadow.

The demon-slaying weapon controlled by Cheng Xiao instantly wrapped around the female assassin's neck.

When the magical artifact flew back to Cheng Xiao's side, the female assassin's eyes widened, and a thin scratch appeared on her neck.

Then, his entire head separated from the scratch and fell to the ground, spraying a large amount of blood everywhere.

The scarred man stared in disbelief at the scene before him; his superior-level companion had been so easily and instantly killed!

"As an assassin, if your identity is exposed, would you dare to be distracted?"

Cheng Xiao's voice rang in his mind, and the scarred man, with the instinct of an assassin, subconsciously wanted to escape.

But a spatial force gripped his neck tightly, lifting him up abruptly.

Even though the opponent only possessed the aura of a high-level peak cultivator, the scarred man was unable to escape this domineering spatial force.

This spatial power is even more exaggerated than the powerful control of a space-type super-level mage.

A low, cracking sound filled the air as the scarred man's neck exploded into a bloody mist.

The body was also dismembered, but the death was more gruesome than that of his companion.
