Assassination System-Chapter 195 Reckless Actions

Their plan involved seriously injuring an expert at the Peak Divine Soul Realm and involved too many risks. A single mistake could turn fatal and there were no chances of reprieve.

In the face of these experts, the immense pressure injected adrenaline through Dan's heart as he rubbed his sweaty forehead. With their auras inhibited, the two dashed towards the two and Natalie's soft sword stabbed at her target's heart.

Cold wind whistled and Natalie's killing intent manifested, alerting the three experts to their presence.

Dan clicked his tongue and hurled a flashbang at the other two. Summoning his cultivation base, he suppressed their aura of dominance and pressed on with a downward slice at his target.

"Mere brats at the Spirit Tempering Realm actually dares to provoke us?! Your courting death!" Darkness howled in anger and blood burst from Natalie's ears. His voice alone ruptured her eardrums.

Dan saw Natalie's plight, but remembering her words, he gnashed his teeth and continued his downward slice at the man at the center. His scans revealed that the three of them possessed the same cultivation. Unfortunately, Dan didn't expect that the man at the middle was the strongest of the three.

"Such a straightforward attack, I don't think that this can even be called as a sneak attack." He mumbled in disdain before pressing his palm outward, sending a palm strike at Dan's chest. The other man didn't even budge. He just stared at Dan as if looking at a fool.

The man's palm strike ripped through the air as a sonic boom resonated with a push of his shoulders. Dan felt a strong sense of imminent danger. Under the disdaining gazes of the two, Dan leaked a smile and didn't abandon his attack.

Since the man didn't evade, Dan's attack would strike his target but that would also mean his death.

What a suicidal brat.

They thought in their minds.

However, when the man's palm strike neared its target. Dan's body transformed into an intangible apparition and his attack went through amidst his shock. At the same time, Dan's downward slice descended. Embued with everything he had, Dan's dagger deeply carved his target's chest as he mumbled.

"Sudden Strike!"

The man's wounds intensified, as blood madly scattered on the ground. His comrade beside him recovered from his disbelief and sent a raging kick at Dan's torso.

But how could Dan who succeeded on his attack and stalling for time risk his life once again? With lightning covering his body, Dan kicked off the ground and flew towards the distant horizon.

Natalie's seven orifices bled, yet her ferocity didn't diminish. Instead, she became more crazed in her desperation to see blood drip from her enemy's body. Mist locked his eyebrows as he stared at Natalie. His pride as someone of higher cultivation reigned over his mind and he became complacent.

Blocking Natalie's crazed attacks with a wave of his hands. Turning his head to the side, a flash of Lightning flared along with a booming sound as Dan flew towards the horizon.

"D-d-Darkness?!" He uttered in surprise and his figure stiffened. He didn't expect that someone from the younger generation could injure someone of Darkness's caliber.

"Fool! Focus on defending! Don't be complacent!" Darkness scolded and Mist awakened from his stupor. But it was already too late as a horizontal slash from Natalie connected on his chest along with a fierce electric current that paralyzed his organs as he collapsed on the ground, incapacitated.

Shadow, who was left standing of the three, glared at Natalie and rotated his entire cultivation base, unleashing an attack which decimated at everything around him. Natalie stared at him in amusement, her eyes twinkled in interest, but she seemed to have recovered her mind as she wrapped her body in Lightning and flew towards the distance.

Shadow wanted to give chase but seeing the bleeding Darkness and Mist. He gnashed his teeth and suppressed his anger as he treated his brothers.

At the distance, Natalie and Dan regrouped. Dan's figure didn't look much different from before but the beaded sweats on his forehead indicated the pressure that he endured. Natalie, on the other hand, looked bloody, with some parts of her robe, torn asunder.

Her expression looked hazy and her figure started wobbling. Nevertheless, her lips leaked a victorious and proud smile as Dan carried her towards a nearby riverstream. There, he cleaned Natalie's body while keeping track of possible pursuits from their enemies.

"Dear, why did we have to do such a risky move..." Dan voiced his complaints, he didn't want to see her suffer, so it greatly pained him seeing her like this.

The cold water helped Natalie regain her composure as she lifted her head and said: "I heard from Senior that breaking through the Divine Soul Realm is the most important bottleneck that a cultivator could experience. The more resources that we use on building our foundation on the Divine Soul Realm, the better are our chances in breaking through higher realms."

Her explanations were sound and logical, and since there was nothing to argue about it, Dan changed the topic, "Then, what do you think should we do next? We just severely injured the protectors of the Luzon Clan, should we go and hunt for them now?"

Natalie cupped his chin with both of her hands and said, "That's indeed our next plan but we can't do it as easily as we did when severely injuring their protectors. The Luzon Clan certainly has dozens of Heaven Grade Artifacts, as just what I said to you earlier, so we cannot do the same approach to them."

Dan nodded his head in acknowledgement, "In that case, what should we do?"

Natalie's smile deepened, she felt happy that her husband relied on her so she felt obliged to answer: "The Blessing of the Lightning God feeds on negative energies to increase our cultivation, through Soul Absorption, we can plunder a part of a cultivator's cultivation and make it as our own."

"Not only that, we can increase our lifespan using the Lifeforce Absorption Technique that you taught me, so the best thing that we can do so that we can efficiently harvest their Lifeforce and Soul is to spread chaos among them."

Natalie's tone was light, but Dan couldn't help but feel a shiver down his spine when she heard her message. Her words were too ruthless, but if he thought about it, it was the best and most efficient way of harvesting the ripe fruit known as the Luzon Clan.

Natalie saw the worry lingering within Dan's eyes and she lightly chuckled and affectionately pinched his cheeks, "This time, the risk is minimal but the reward is high." She embraced his neck and whispered his plan into his ears.

"Are you really sure about that? That is indeed an excellent plan but that wouldn't work without sufficient knowledge about the terrain, habitat of beasts, and danger zones inside the Great Wilderness..." Dan expressed his concern and Natalie flicked his forehead.

"Do you remember the time where Sister Charlotte and you disappeared into the Great Wilderness? That time, I thoroughly researched everything that I can about the Great Wilderness just so I could narrow down your location. As a result, I believe that I am more knowledgeable than you in this land. Perhaps, if we battle it out, you may not even be able to defeat me..." Natalie cheekily smiled at the end, but Dan's reaction wasn't what she expected.

Dan lifted a cunning smile on his face, the two of them were still in the riverstream so Natalie didn't notice Dan's nimble hands approaching her thighs.

"Battle it out? Interesting, do you really think that you can defeat me?" Dan smirked and displayed one of his strongest hand movement, causing a queer cry from Natalie as her figure shivered.

Her cheeks reddened and she suffused a wronged expression as she glared at Dan in indignance.

"This much isn't enough to bring me down..." Natalie assumed a tough facade and squeezed out these words amidst her moans. Unfortunately, her seductive voice and glazed expression as she said these words merely served to awaken the sadistic beast hidden within Dan's heart, as the calm riverstream violently shook amidst the disturbance.
