After uttering these words, Tian Ci’s figure shot out, charging directly at Wu Tian.
At the same time, the ninjas surrounding Wu Tian also flew out like bullets, determined to take Wu Tian’s life.
Wu Tian could tell at a glance that among these people, only Tian Ci was a spiritual cultivator.
As for the other ninjas, they were at most stronger than ordinary people.
He exhaled gently, and immediately, golden energy transformed into dozens of silk threads that flew out.
These threads seemed to have a life of their own, directly entangling the ninjas’ bodies and then smashing them to the ground.
Tian Ci was a sixth-level spiritual cultivator, and he primarily cultivated speed, so he was not restrained by the energy threads.
He seemed to blend into the darkness, his figure completely invisible to the naked eye, only the whistling sound of air being broken could be heard constantly around him.
However, despite the pervasive killing intent, and Tian Ci being able to launch a fatal attack at any moment,
Wu Tian acted as if he didn’t care at all.
He yawned slightly, appearing exceptionally at ease.
Suddenly, his expression turned sharp, and without even looking, he reached out and grabbed towards his right.
Where there should have been only air, Tian Ci was directly caught by the throat as he moved!
“Urk!”
Tian Ci hadn’t expected Wu Tian to find him so easily, and his face immediately showed astonishment.
Wu Tian sneered at him, “The Shadow Hall’s top assassin, is this all you’ve got? It’s quite underwhelming.”
After speaking, he released Tian Ci and then said, “Alright, I’ll give you another chance.”
“You can start your performance now.”
Hearing Wu Tian’s words, Tian Ci was first slightly stunned, then his face turned ferocious.
Wu Tian’s actions undoubtedly showed he didn’t take him seriously at all!
Feeling his pride severely insulted, he immediately let out a cold snort, then his figure flickered, and he disappeared again.
Sharp whistling sounds of air being broken rang out consecutively!
Tian Ci didn’t rush to attack, but instead continuously shifted his position, looking for an opening.
Wu Tian, however, maintained his calm demeanor. He crouched down, picked up several pebbles from the ground, and then suddenly threw one towards a certain direction!
Soon, a surprised exclamation rang out. The pebble clearly seemed to hit only air, but it fell on its own during its flight.
Wu Tian smiled and said, “You’ve been hit. It seems your speed is still not quite enough.”
“Keep running. If you don’t run fast enough, you’ll have to eat more pebbles.”
The frequency of the whistling air grew faster.
Wu Tian, holding the pebbles, threw them out one after another.
Each of his throws had the same effect; the pebbles struck Tian Ci as he sprinted, eliciting a cry of pain.
After throwing several pebbles, Wu Tian had only one left in his hand.
He breathed a puff of warm air onto the pebble, his eyes narrowing into a smile, and said, “For this last one, I’ll have to put in a bit more effort.”
With that, Wu Tian flung the pebble out again!
This pebble’s flight speed was noticeably faster than before, and its momentum was even more fierce!
It looked as if it could pierce steel plates!
In the blink of an eye, with a clang, the sound of breaking steel was heard!
Following this sound came a scream!
Someone in the darkness fell to the ground, breathing rapidly.
Wu Tian walked over directly and smiled, saying, “Oh dear, I clearly warned you, yet you’re still so careless?”
“Look at you now, what’s the difference between this and being disfigured?”
Tian Ci grimaced in pain, his eyes filled with hatred as he looked at Wu Tian, wishing he could devour him alive!
At this moment, his face was already covered in bruises, with marks of being hit by stones everywhere.
Furthermore, blood flowed down from his forehead, clearly from a hole punched by a pebble.
To block the last pebble, he had used his personal dagger for defense.
However, the impact force of the pebble was too immense; it not only broke his dagger but also directly injured him.
This situation filled him with immense shame!
Especially when he heard Wu Tian’s taunts, he was so angry his lungs felt like they would explode.
He gritted his teeth and said, “You bastard, how dare you do this to me!”
“I am the Shadow Hall’s top assassin, and I will not let you go!”
Wu Tian smiled and said, “Is the top assassin only capable of this much?”
“To be honest, I’m quite disappointed with the overall strength of your Shadow Hall.”
“So, have you understood what I said earlier?”
“Leng Yue cannot have any accidents. Otherwise, if I wish, not a single person from your Shadow Hall will have an easy time.”
Tian Ci’s heart was filled with rage, to the point where his reason was almost lost.
He grinned sinisterly and said, “What you don’t want me to do, I will do it precisely!”
“Our Shadow Hall has its own communication methods, and I’ve already informed headquarters about Leng Yue’s situation. I believe people from headquarters should be starting to apprehend Leng Yue now?”
“Just you wait, headquarters will definitely torture Leng Yue with the most brutal methods!”
“By then, I will personally deliver her head to you, hehe…”
Looking at Tian Ci’s sinister smile, Wu Tian’s pupils gradually widened.
He had only been toying with Tian Ci earlier, but he hadn’t expected this guy to have done something so outrageous without him realizing.
A sense of urgency immediately surged through him. He grabbed Tian Ci by the collar and roared, “Tell me the location of your Shadow Hall! Quickly!”
The more anxious Wu Tian became, the more smug Tian Ci felt.
He said with a bit of swagger, “What’s wrong? Weren’t you quite capable just now? Why are you like this now?”
“You want to know the location of the Shadow Hall? No problem, beg me!”
“As long as you beg me properly, perhaps I’ll tell you, hahahaha…”
He laughed extremely unrestrainedly, his laughter filled with mockery.
Wu Tian had no intention of talking further. He slapped him and shouted again, “Tell me the address! Otherwise, I’ll make you wish you were dead!”
But Tian Ci showed no fear, still smiling, “Who do you think I am? Will people from our Shadow Hall be afraid of threats from you like this?”
“No one will tell you the location of the Shadow Hall today, so you can search for it slowly, hahahaha…”
Tian Ci’s sharp laughter was exceptionally grating. Wu Tian, feeling annoyed, was about to use some means to force Tian Ci to reveal the location.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened!
