Assassination System

Chapter 272 - Disdaining



"Wreck him! Senior Sister Krylle!"


"Pummel that arrogant bastard!"


The instant their weapons clashed, a deafening roar rang out. Those nearby had their eardrums shattered from the shock wave while those farther from the epicenter of the explosion staggered backward and held their chests in pain.


They are clearly within the same realm, yet these two are in another level! It was evident that if they were in their stead, that attack would've decided everything! These disciples calmed down and all came to a mutual understanding. Silently retreating into a cave entrance, they stuck their heads out, ever so slightly so they could see what was going on ahead of them.


Snow flew and blanketed the skies, when it cleared up. Everyone could see the figures of Dan and Krylle shining amidst the thin sheet of ice that enveloped their bodies. Krylle looked slightly bedraggled while Dan had blood dripping from his lips.


Obviously, the latter slightly won that engagement.


"Hmmph! You even dared to teach my fellow disciples on some nonsensical things... What qualifications do you have on teaching them when you can't even uphold those principles that you said?" Krylle revealed a sneer that contrasted her prim and proper appearance.


Dan didn't reply, he merely lifted his head and stared at her coldly. Without saying anything. His figure vanished like smoke and reappeared beside her with his dagger heading for her neck.


Krylle predicted his movements so she merely stepped backward and easily evaded his attack. Opening her palm, she slammed it right into Dan's chest as the Lightning that surrounded the latter, abruptly extinguished.


But before she could celebrate on her successful attack, Dan suddenly twisted around and counter-attacked with a kicked that aimed at her face! This attack was a vicious move, after all. Women sought for beauty the most and Krylle wasn't an exception.


In an instant, her conceit turned into anger as she lashed out in fury. Sending a wave of Ice towards Dan's direction, and another explosion rang out as his figure flew outwards like a rocket, slamming into a cave wall and falling into the ground in a miserable manner.


"Although you might be an Honorary disciple. Why does it seem like you're much weaker than the weakest of the Core disciples? You can't even withstand at least five exchanges with me. What makes you feel like you can survive that Mystic Realm of the Undead?"


Krylle casually approached Dan and stared at the latter as if she was staring at someone that's an absolute garbage. Dan also lifted his head, his eyes flashed with a strange light for a moment before he lightly chuckled and said.


"Someone who pretends to be a Goddess up above the nine heavens, but is actually a venomous snake that can backstab anyone in a moment's notice. How truly laughable, you are... Tell me, aren't you the one that killed that so-called Senior Brother Gin and his comrades? I'm pretty sure that the reason why they aren't here is because they are dead..."


Dan spoke in a voice that was loud enough for everyone to hear and when his fellow disciples within the cave entrance heard what he said. They all trembled in fear and glanced furtively at Krylle. Krylle was someone that had that peculiar side, if she ordered a disciple and that disciple didn't comply or did what she asked, poorly. Krylle would often beat that disciple up until the disciple's mother couldn't even recognize that disciple.


However, they didn't expect that she would actually be so vicious as to do such a thing. After all, although she and Senior Brother Gin had a bad relationship, it wouldn't be to such an extent that she would betray and kill him behind his back.


Incredibly, Krylle didn't deny Dan's accusations as she nodded her and said in an indifferent voice: "We're currently within a virtual world, what's the deal with dying? After all, we're supposed to kill each other to prove that we're worthy for a position in that Mystic Realm of the Undead... Don't go and preach me with that self-righteousness of yours. It's nauseating..."


"Ha ha ha," Dan dryly laughed and continued: "We're indeed in a virtual world. However, showing that side of yours towards your fellow disciples. Do you really think that they will still be able to trust you? After all, who knows if you're suddenly just gonna attack someone from the back for the sake of your own benefit."


Krylle's expression went cold and her eyes flashed with killing intent. Not saying anything in reply, she revolved her cultivation base and kicked out, sending Dan flying towards the cave wall once again.


"Gah!"


Dan landed roughly and he opened his mouth, vomiting mouthfuls of blood along with grated bits of his organs that were mangled from Krylle's attack. Seeing the extent of his injury, Krylle lifted her lips into a smile. With her cultivation base circulated to the limit, she placed both of her palms in parallel to each other and chanted.


Soon, a sword made entirely of ice appeared right in front of her. Extending her hand, she gripped the Ice Sword and raised it towards the skies. Aiming at the fallen Dan's neck, she aimed to end his life in an instant.


But before her sword could fall, a thundering voice of anger and fury rang out from a distant cave entrance.


"Dan!"


The thundering voice contained an intimidating might that stiffened Krylle's movements. Since she went into a solemn state, when that voice echoed out, she received the shock of her life and she stiffened like a statue.


"He he he..." A dry laugh came before her and the seriously injured Dan miraculously stood up like he didn't sustain any injuries. His jet-black eyes that radiated excitement and fury stared right into Krylle's eyes, peering into her soul.


"You... How could you..." Krylle hastily recovered and mustered her defenses. But before she could complete her barrier of Ice, a flash of Lightning struck her back as she spat a mouthful of blood. The impact sent her tumbling forwards into Dan who slowly raised his foot and aimed it right into her face with a light smile on his face.


"Even facial reconstruction surgery won't help you with this..." Dan's foot suddenly ignited with Thunder and Fire, the fierce heatwave that his foot emanated actually burned Krylle's face and turned it into something similar to a candle's wax.


Bang!


A crunchy sound reverberated and Krylle found herself flying towards the cave wall. A blood arrow burst forth from her throat and stained her snow-white dress into a crimson hue. She felt an incomparably intense and sharp pain on her face and she roared angrily like a Banshee: "You... Why are you not injured!" She asked in an unwilling tone.


Dan casually approached her like what she did earlier and stared at her from above as if looking at an absolute garbage. Crossing his arms together, Dan lifted a disdainful smile and whispered: "You were fighting my clone earlier, a clone that didn't even possess a fourth of my strength."
