...

Despite the tension, Black Night was exceptionally skilled at controlling his emotions, even calming his slightly erratic heartbeat back to normal.

Qin Fang walked slowly, appearing relaxed and at ease, but in truth, his body was maintained in a state of tension, not daring to relax even for a moment.

The opponent was very powerful, something beyond doubt; even in a one-on-one situation, Qin Fang couldn't guarantee he could definitely defeat the other.

However, Qin Fang was constantly paying attention to the opponent's situation, his scouting skill always reconnoitering the opponent. Though it couldn't achieve an all-encompassing surveillance, it could still glean some information.

"Sure enough, a formidable opponent..."

The opponent was cautious and careful, yet remained very calm, always hidden behind that large tree, never moving an inch, and there were not even slightest body movements.

No change meant no flaws, which was something that made Qin Fang a bit troubled... but it also made him quite excited.

Step by step, he moved closer and closer to Black Night.

Ssshhhh~~

Black Night was very tense because the footsteps were getting closer and closer, almost reaching his ears. Gripping the weapon in his hand tightly, he carefully watched the direction from where the sound was coming.

Finally, a tall shadow appeared in his field of vision, and Black Night's eyes suddenly narrowed, his body tightening, adjusting to a state ready to explode at any moment.

This figure was naturally Qin Fang, now only about five meters away from Black Night, and still approaching slowly...

Black Night's body was tense, but he did not move; he just kept staring at Qin Fang, who was gradually approaching, clutching his short sword tighter.

The night was cool, with a slight breeze blowing through the forest, bringing a faint chill, further amplifying the already tense atmosphere.

Qin Fang came closer and closer, the distance between them shrinking from five meters to three meters, and it continued to decrease...

In fact, at this distance, Black Night felt he had at least an eighty percent chance of making a successful strike, but at this moment, an inexplicable panic arose in his heart, and he slightly furrowed his brow, sensing something was off...

This feeling of something being off caused the strike, which should have been launched immediately, to be forcibly halted.

Black Night was an exceptional assassin, a very cautious one at that. As the distance between them continued to close, he felt increasingly confident, yet the unease in his heart grew stronger and stronger…

Qin Fang's footsteps came ever closer, but his direction changed subtly, now passing Black Night by, and instead of closing, the distance began to widen.

"No, I must act..."

Seeing this, even if Black Night sensed something strange, he couldn't afford to overthink it right now.

As the distance gradually widened, his chance to strike successfully diminished, making it increasingly difficult to find such an opportunity again.

Qin Fang was an opponent no weaker than himself; he knew this from the start. If they were to confront each other normally, it would be difficult to say who was stronger.

And he was an assassin, one lurking in the darkness ready to deliver a deadly strike at any moment. Passing up such a good opportunity to strike would simply be a waste.

So... watching Qin Fang gradually moving away, Black Night finally couldn't hold back anymore. Gripping the short sword in his hand tightly, his body suddenly poured forth strength, transforming instantly into a black shadow, accompanied by a faint silver light, heading straight for Qin Fang's back...

At this moment, this genius assassin of the Assassin's Alliance, a terrifying five-star killer, showcased his extraordinary killing talent, almost perfectly displaying both speed and strength.

Seeing that phantasmal figure, seeing the razor-sharp blade light, it almost made one feel completely unable to resist, and at that moment, it seemed Qin Fang couldn't even make any reaction, merely sluggishly accepting the fact of being ambushed...

Black Night's speed was incredibly fast, almost to the extreme, and his move was exceptionally smooth and natural, even he himself felt that his strike this time was very perfect, almost described as flawless.

This perfect strike, the explosive attack power was extremely sharp, it even made Black Night recall the state he was in when he once killed a peak-level expert beyond his rank.

Yet...

This perfect condition made Black Night feel extremely excited, but at the same time, the unease hidden deep in his heart quickly magnified, gradually overshadowing his current excitement.

As an exceptionally skilled assassin, his perception of danger far exceeded that of ordinary people. When this unease intensified, Black Night immediately sensed something was wrong.

To be precise, it wasn't just something wrong; it was a very serious sense of crisis, one that threatened his own safety.

"This is bad!"

Black Night muttered inwardly. His body, stretched to the extreme, found it extremely difficult to retract at this moment.

The short sword in his hand was about to pierce "Qin Fang's" body, almost touching Qin Fang's back, yet he felt no resistance, and the sword slid in effortlessly...

Although his weapon was a very fine alloy short sword, it could not cut through iron like mud but was not far from it.

The human skin and flesh aren't particularly tough, making it hard to resist this alloy short sword, but it shouldn't penetrate as if cutting through tofu without any resistance...

At the very least, those muscle fibers would slightly slow down the penetration speed of his alloy short sword, not to mention human bones...

But none of that happened. His alloy short sword seemed to pierce through air, without feeling a hint of obstruction, passing through "Qin Fang's" body...

At this moment, the unease in Black Night's heart magnified to the extreme. At the side of his body, which could barely perform large movements, a figure even faster than his own, wrapped in an attack power so terrifying that even a grandmaster level peak expert like Black Night felt shivers, was approaching at a lightning speed...

Black Night also felt a jolt of terror, but it passed in a flash, quickly regaining his composure, although his face turned rather grim.

Even though he sensed this overwhelming power approaching, he had no opportunity to dodge.

Because he clearly knew, no matter how he reacted, his body was within the opponent's attack range.

That is to say, this attack from the opponent was unavoidable for him...

Black Night couldn't dodge but that didn't mean he would just sit and await death, so he quickly made the wisest choice, rapidly curling up his body to protect the most vital spots, avoiding a fatal blow...

Bam~~

The opponent's attack indeed arrived as expected, but to Black Night's surprise, the other party did not choose a weapon-based tough attack, instead, it was a very fierce long leg that struck.

Of course, the force on that leg was terrifyingly powerful. If such a kick landed on an ordinary person, it would definitely be horrendous, with severed tendons and broken bones being minor injuries; the body being kicked to explode wasn't impossible...

But Black Night wasn't an ordinary person. He was a grandmaster level peak expert, his body's strength far from comparable to a normal person, enduring this frightening whip leg head-on.

The dull sound wasn't harsh, but Black Night's body was launched like a cannonball, hurtling backward at an even more terrifying speed...

A black phantom was thus born, ripping through the silence of the forest, as Black Night's body crashed into a small tree as thick as a bowl, breaking it with sheer force...

But Black Night's speed didn't diminish much, still soaring backward at high speed, eventually breaking another two small trees, reducing much of the impact, finally smashing into a big tree thick enough for one person to embrace, barely coming to a stop...

Yet, that big tree's trunk was buzzing and quivering, leaves trembling down, showcasing the immense power...

Splurt~~

Falling from the trunk, even with Black Night's body strength, he couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The power of that whip leg earlier was too terrifying. Black Night even felt that what struck him wasn't a human's leg, but a thousand-pound sledgehammer from a machine.

Not to mention breaking three trees in a row, even leaving a pit about five centimeters deep on this large tree's trunk...

It was just that this tree was extremely thick, if a bit thinner, it would follow in the footsteps of the three previous trees.

At this moment, the figure that kicked Black Night gradually revealed itself, a faint smile on the face, none other than Black Night's assassination target... Qin Fang.

"How do you feel about that?"

At this moment, Qin Fang slowly walked out from the shadows, gradually revealing himself in front of the assassin Black Night, his expression very calm, body very relaxed, even speaking in a plain tone, as if chatting with a friend, rather than facing someone trying to dismember him piece by piece...
