The girl said, "To judge one's surroundings, one usually begins with four aspects: sight, hearing, smell, and touch."
"As for the perceptual killing intent you currently possess, it's just a higher level method. However, this perceptual killing intent still has quite a few flaws."
"If other people only want to compete with you, not kill you, then your ability to sense killing intent is useless."
'"Perhaps, a killer has killed countless people. He has already treated killing as the most common thing to do, such as eating and breathing. Then the word'kill' has lost its meaning to him. He can really do it without killing intent. You can't even sense such a person."
This was a great opportunity to learn. Xiang Nan listened carefully to the girl's words.
The girl said, "There is another realm, and that is ..."
The girl put her hands behind her back and pulled down a small grass from the wall of the cave behind her without looking at it with her eyes, "Heart's Eye."
Xiang Nan was so shocked by the girl's actions that he was speechless. He could sense the killing intent, but there was no killing intent in the vegetation. How did she determine the location of the grass behind her?
The girl said, "Mind-Eye is to use your body and mind to sense the outline of your surroundings. Even if you lose all five senses, you can still know anything that is static around you. However, at this realm, you are still unable to cultivate."
'"Then I'll ..." Xiang Nan asked.
The girl directly intercepted Xiang Nan's words and said, "Your current ability to sense killing intent is more than enough to deal with those small killers. Even some experienced killers cannot avoid your detection."
"Understood." Xiang Nan picked up the little girl and walked out of the cave step by step.
Thus, a brand new world appeared in front of Xiang Nan.
He could suddenly feel more things. He could even feel that there were demonic beasts spying on him in the distant woods on the mountain behind him. They wanted to attack him, but they knew that their strength was insufficient and did not dare to make a move.
The shadows of the three killers were also moving rapidly in the distant forest under Xiang Nan's perception.
"He's out." One of the killers whispered. The other two killers immediately disappeared into the jungle.
Xiang Nan carried the girl over the snow valley step by step and said loudly, "If my guess is correct, the disciples of the Cavalry Sect must have accidentally entered your trial grounds and been captured by you."
"Now I'll give you a chance to release the people from the Cavalry Sect. Otherwise, don't blame my subordinates for being merciless."
The three assassins didn't react at all and treated Xiang Nan as dead.
An assassin sneaked over from behind and silently sliced across the sky. The cold short blade in his hand sliced towards the back of Xiang Nan's neck.
Normally, Xiang Nan would never have noticed such behavior.
But at this moment, he had already grasped the ability to sense killing intent. The corner of his mouth rose slightly, and the giant saber in his hand suddenly turned around and slashed down!
Clang!
This saber slashed directly at the killer's short blade, sending the killer flying backwards, while Xiang Nan himself slid back three steps in the opposite direction.
"What?" The assassin was shocked, "How did he sense my location?"
The other two killers threw out two short blades from a dark corner. The two blades quietly sliced through the sky and silently shot towards Xiang Nan.
However, killing intent was also condensed on the short blades. The two short blades had no way of hiding from Xiang Nan's perception.
Xiang Nan's saber slashed, and the blade accurately shot down the two short blades at the same time.
"This brat can feel our killing intent! Retreat!" An assassin noticed the abnormality and immediately gave an order to retreat.
Killers were so decisive. They never liked to fight. If they found that they were unable to cope with the situation in front of them, they would immediately retreat. They would never fight head-on foolishly.
"Now you know you're going to run?" Xiang Nan held the huge saber in his hand, and the Yuan Qi wings behind him spread out and flew swiftly against the snowy plains.
The shadows of the three killers had completely disappeared from their sight. They had used powerful movement techniques to fuse themselves into the forest environment, and it was difficult to find them with the naked eye.
However, in Xiang Nan's senses, the shadows of those three people were incomparably clear.
Xiang Nan dived down and chased after the killer on the far left. The killer sensed Xiang Nan's arrival and hurriedly changed his trajectory, moving sideways to the left.
Xiang Nan suddenly flapped his wings. Just as his body was about to crash into the ground, he sprinted towards the ground. With a shout, he slid out and the giant saber was already placed on the killer's neck.
"How did you find me?" The killer widened his eyes and said in disbelief, "In just a few hours, how did you ..."
Xiang Nan flipped his right hand and the giant saber cut off the killer's neck. ｆ𝓇𝗲ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛𝚗oνel - 🅽🅽novel
The three of them had killed Xiang Nan everywhere before, and Xiang Nan was not the kind of foolish righteous person who had no need to be stubborn and show mercy.
If other people wanted to kill him, could he still use his morality to influence him?
One killer died, and Xiang Nan immediately chased after the second killer.
"Thousand Leaves Hand!" The second killer gave up running. He stood still and slapped his hands.
The leaves on the surrounding trees fell down one after another, and those leaves suddenly stretched out like metal, swishing towards Xiang Nan.
The originally soft fallen leaves turned into sharp blades that sliced through the sky and covered the earth, silently piercing through the surrounding trees and pouring towards Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan raised his giant saber high and the small sun quenched it to draw out a ray of sunlight, smashing the giant saber onto the ground.
A shocking white light shot out in all directions, crushing all the fallen leaves into powder.
When the killer found an opportunity, his right foot was at the bottom, and his body was spiraling like a top. He shot into the distance at an astonishing speed.
Xiang Nan bent his body, and a flash step directly surpassed the second killer. The giant saber in his hand slashed horizontally, and under the killer's shocked gaze, he was killed by the saber.
The third killer gave up on escaping. He stood face to face with Xiang Nan with his short blades in his hands.
Xiang Nan narrowed his eyes."I gave you a chance. You could have stopped chasing me."
The assassin sneered, "Do you think a martial artist in our line of work would be afraid of death?"
Xiang Nan shook his head, "You are not afraid of death, but you are also unwilling to do unnecessary death."
"Hand over the disciples of the Cavalry Sect and trade your life for theirs. This is very worthwhile."
The assassin took a deep breath and said, "Who exactly are you?"
Xiang Nan did not answer him. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and said, "Hand them over in ten minutes. This is the last chance I'll give you."
The killer gritted his teeth and disappeared.
Five minutes later, a dozen panicked cavalry disciples appeared in the snowy plains where Xiang Nan was.
The remaining assassin stood on the tree and looked deeply at Xiang Nan."I hope we won't meet again in the future."
After saying that, the killer concealed himself.
"You ... are you a senior brother of the Haoran Sect?" A Cavalry Sect disciple walked over in fear.
Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Be careful when you go out in the future. Don't accidentally enter other people's territory without knowing it. Go back. No one will stop you."
After thanking Xiang Nan for his kindness, the cavalry sect disciples hurriedly escaped to the south exit.
Xiang Nan let out a sigh of relief. He only needed to obtain the Earth Desolate Wood to return to the Haoran Sect.
