Chapter 459
He quit the game and yawned, then went to prepare for bed.
At that moment, he felt a wave of murderous intent.
He tensed up and snuck to the window, then pulled the curtains open abruptly.
He caught a glimpse of someone jumping from the second-floor balcony, who then proceeded to run
back towards the mountain.
James did not hesitate. He opened the window and jumped, then jumped again when his feet touched
the balcony and landed on the parapet, then leaped down several meters to the ground floor
immediately after to give chase.
James was fast, but the other person was fast, too.
James gave chase, all the way to the back of Mount Dragon Fountain.
In front of him was now a dense forest.
James slowed down and walked forward cautiously, his senses alert as he took in his surroundings.
Rustle…
The wind blew, sending fallen leaves flying and rustling tree branches.
“Who’s there? Show yourself.”
James’s voice rang out.
At that moment, he jerked his head upwards as he shot a silver needle out.
A man dressed in black stood on a large tree twenty meters ahead, his face obscured by a mask.
The person dogged the needle nimbly, like an agile monkey. He hopped quickly down from the tree and
soon landed on the ground.
James stared at the masked man in front of him.
He could sense a strong bloodlust from him. It was an aura that he had never encountered before.
Someone who possessed such an intense murderous aura was someone whose hands were stained
with blood.
“Who are you?” James said in a cold, deep voice.
“The one who’s going to kill you,” a hoarse voice said.
With that, the man charged forward.
He was fast, kicking up leaves behind him as he ran.
The twenty-something meter gap between them was closed in a matter of seconds. This person was
faster than the world sprint champion.novelbin
He raised an arm as he appeared right in front of James, unleashing a harsh blow.
This strike was incredibly powerful, with a great force behind it.
James raised an arm to meet it, blocking the opponent’s attack.
He felt the extreme force as they made contact.
To his shock, his body was moved slightly from the blow.
His expression darkened.
This was the most powerful opponent he had ever gone up against.
The masked person was pushed backward with a powerful force.
The masked person performed a backflip in midair and landed smoothly on the ground before standing
back up and charging at him again.
James, too, kept up with his counterattack.
As they fought, James studied his opponent.
He was around one-hundred-and-seventy centimeters tall. He was not fat, with slender, gloved arms.
The gloves were made from a special material. His legs were long and slender but packed an explosive
force.
This was a woman.
However, her moves were strange. She did not use a regular moveset. Instead, all her blows were
aimed at vital points, designed to kill.
‘An assassin.’
James’s judgment was accurate.
The masked woman was an assassin.
They continued trading blows in the forest.
James’s fist shot out in a powerful punch.
His opponent’s body was too agile. She dodged it and climbed up another big tree.
His fist smashed against the tree.
The tree shook from the force, and a hole appeared on its trunk.
James pulled back. At that instant, he heard the sound of whooshing wind above him.
He raised his hand to block the incoming attack.
He successfully blocked one punch, but could not block the second.
His shoulder was hit.
His body slumped forward and he fell to the ground.
Before he could stand up, a sharp dagger came flying at him.
‘What a strong assassin,’ he thought to himself, stunned.
His body sprung itself back up and avoided being stabbed. He turned in mid-air and swung a fierce kick
towards his opponent’s head.
