Chapter 787: "Your Name"

Click—

As the Judgment Court tore a corner off the [Rabbit Flower Moment] from the outside, cracks began to spread in the void. This domain was like an ice cube that had been hit hard by a chisel, and the point of destruction began to spread from the edge to the center.

A crack slowly spread to the Young Sect Master's side. That figure, which had been sluggish as if frozen, suddenly seemed to regain a trace of vitality and began to tremble constantly to get rid of the domain's control,

As those bloodshot pupils contracted sharply, mental power like a vast ocean directly shattered the domain around him, allowing him to break free from the time imprisonment and land steadily on the ground!

The Young Sect Master let out a long sigh of relief.

Seeing this scene, the assassin's face was extremely gloomy!

Faint blue smoke drifted from the muzzle, and an empty sleeve fluttered in the wind... Chen Ling stepped into the air step by step and finally walked back into the ruins of the second floor of the restaurant.

"...It's you?" The assassin saw Chen Ling's face, his eyes narrowing slightly.

The assassin had an impression of Chen Ling. After all, there weren't many people who could sit at the table and eat king crab calmly after witnessing his killing process... But he thought this person had already run away, and didn't expect him to kill his way back at this time.

"Are you here to save him?"

The assassin guessed Chen Ling's intention, and a trace of murderous intent locked onto Chen Ling.

At the same time, the Young Sect Master, who had taken the opportunity to regain his mobility, also turned his head to look here... He looked at Chen Ling with some confusion, because he didn't know the other party at all. Why did he suddenly make a move and pull him out of the assassin's domain?

The life-and-death struggle between the two was completely broken by the intervention of a third party, becoming even more uncontrollable!

The entire second floor of the restaurant fell into a dead silence.

"No intention to disturb." Chen Ling pondered for a moment and said, "...I just came back to get something."

Chen Ling's original intention was just to tear a corner off the domain that seemed to affect time, so that he could retrieve the letter and avoid being dragged into the battlefield... He didn't expect that he just fired a shot from the outside, which indirectly affected the inside of the domain, allowing the Young Sect Master to escape.

"Get something?"

The assassin was slightly startled when he heard this, and his expression was a bit subtle.

He looked Chen Ling up and down carefully and said flatly, "Alright, then go get it."

Chen Ling's gaze swept across the surroundings and soon locked onto the envelope pressed under a piece of rubble. Fortunately, this letter was not damaged in the battle between the two, only covered with some dust on the surface.

Under the gaze of the two, Chen Ling walked straight to the envelope, bent down, and picked it up...

The next moment,

A flash of cold light stabbed down from Chen Ling's neck!

"Stop!" Seeing this, the Young Sect Master raised his hand without hesitation!

But the assassin's movements were too fast. The palm holding the two knives seemed to have opened the gaps in time again. The sharp cold light was about to pierce through Chen Ling's neck from top to bottom, but it shattered the moment it touched Chen Ling's skin!

Bang!

I don't know when, but the blade in his hand had turned into a pile of fragile wood chips.

The assassin was stunned. Immediately after, an invisible force gripped his throat, directly lifting him into mid-air, and smashed him into another wall like a cannonball. The dull sound was like thunder!

The Young Sect Master's move was only a fraction of a second late, but the power was definitely not small... In his view, he had escaped because of Chen Ling, and now that Chen Ling was in danger, he absolutely couldn't sit idly by.

The assassin was injured in his internal organs by the terrifying shockwave. His body, embedded in the wall, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Before he could make another move, a one-armed figure had already arrived in front of him like a ghost!

A touch of apricot red appeared at the corners of his eyes, eerie and mysterious. Chen Ling pressed the muzzle against the assassin's brow without expression.

[Judgment Court] activated again!

A terrifying aura capable of decomposing everything brewed in the muzzle. Chen Ling looked at him coldly, his tone chilling as if from the underworld:

"Why... seeing that I'm a fourth-rank, you really take me for a soft persimmon?"

Scarlet blood slid down the assassin's mouth. He narrowed his eyes and looked directly at Chen Ling's gaze... For some reason, he always felt that there seemed to be something else hidden in those eyes dyed with apricot red... Something extremely crazy, extremely terrifying.

As an [Assassin], instinct was his strength, and the sense of crisis brought by instinct when facing Chen Ling was even more terrifying than when facing the Young Sect Master!

This fourth-rank Soldier Divine Path in front of him was definitely not as simple as it looked on the surface.

"This is the Tian-Shu Domain Patrol Team!! Stop fighting immediately!!"

"Repeat! Stop fighting immediately!!"

"The first offense is a warning. If you ignore the warning and continue to fight, all of you will be disqualified from competing for the [Heaven-Reaching Star Position]!!"

Sharp alarm sounds came from the chaotic street below. The continuous fighting here had attracted the order maintainers of the Tian-Shu Domain. They should have already investigated the details of both sides of the fight, and they threatened them directly with the qualification.

The red and blue warning lights flickered in the dust. Chen Ling's fingertips were on the trigger, his eyes staring at the assassin's eyes... He didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.

"...You, still want to kill me?" The assassin sensed Chen Ling's murderous intent and said in surprise. "Don't you want the [Heaven-Reaching Star Position]?"

Murderous intent cannot be faked. The assassin could feel that even in the face of the warning from the Tian-Shu Domain, this person in front of him didn't waver at all. He really wanted to kill himself right now!

Chen Ling didn't answer. He still looked at the assassin without expression, his eyes deep like an abyss.

After a long while, he slowly released the gun.

"...Get lost."

As soon as the words fell, Chen Ling turned and walked into the dust alone.

Chen Ling didn't actually have such a great desire for the [Heaven-Reaching Star Position], and the warning from the Tian-Shu Domain didn't matter at all... He had always been a person who repaid grievances, and this assassin dared to take the opportunity to sneak attack him, so he naturally wanted to kill the other party on the spot.

But the problem was, even in this situation, Chen Ling didn't have a 100% certainty of killing a fifth-rank, and if he really killed someone in public, in case he was investigated and hunted down, and his identity in the Twilight Society was exposed, it might affect other Twilight Society members preparing to participate in the competition for the [Heaven-Reaching Star Position].

The Young Sect Master watched Chen Ling leave without looking back, opened his mouth, and stopped talking.

The assassin climbed down from the wall somewhat miserably, looked at the Young Sect Master, and then at Chen Ling's departing back. "I take back what I just said... It seems that among those who came to compete for the [Heaven-Reaching Star Position] this time, there are still some powerful characters."

He paused for a moment and spoke again:

"But when the trial begins, that will be the time to truly distinguish the high and low, and distinguish life and death... I hope you will have another chance to point a gun at my head next time."

"Oh." Chen Ling didn't look back.

"You don't look like someone from the official side of the other major domains... Are you also from the folk side? What is your name?"

Chen Ling's footsteps paused slightly. After a moment of silence, he turned back and said calmly:

"Me? My name is Jian Wubing."
