Dragon's Origin

Looking at the two figures pouncing towards her, A'qi felt no fear of death in her heart. From the moment Xia Tianzong rejected her, A'qi was, in reality, already a dead person.

The death of the physical body is not frightening; what's frightening is the death of the heart. Perhaps, dying now would be good. A'qi slightly raised her head, positioning her neck to be in line with the weapon of one of the attackers.

A little beauty, voluntarily offering her neck to a blade—how many times had these two hunters seen such a scene? Usually, it was in situations where there was no way out, choosing to die rather than suffer humiliation. This little beauty must be thinking the same thing now.

Could they let her have her way? Two experts at the seventh level of cultivation, facing a beautiful woman who was exhausted—if they actually let her die, wouldn't that be boring?

The two simultaneously retracted their weapons, stopping not far from A'qi with lewd smiles.

Seeing this situation, A'qi didn't hesitate. She reached into her storage ring and pulled out a hairpin, intending to end her own life. Even in death, she wouldn't allow such disgusting individuals to defile her. If she had known this would happen, she should have given herself completely to Wang Sheng when she was with him.

How could the two men allow such a thing to happen? Could they let the prey at their lips fly away? With a 'crack,' a gold coin was flicked from one of the men's hands, striking A'qi's wrist, which held the hairpin.

A clear sound of bone breaking came from A'qi's wrist. A'qi could no longer hold the hairpin, and with a 'clatter,' it fell to the ground.

"Little beauty, it's better to live than to die. Even if you want to die, it's not too late to die after we brothers have enjoyed you!" The leading hunter said with a lewd smile, taking two steps forward as he spoke.

At this moment, A'qi, who seemed to be at her wit's end, suddenly revealed a mocking smile on her face. The smile seemed to mock the hunters before her, and also seemed to mock herself.

Crack, another sound of bone breaking, but this sound came from the direction of the other hunter. Because he had taken a few steps forward, the leader couldn't see the situation over there. However, bone breaking couldn't possibly be his companion accidentally injuring himself, right?

His seventh-level companion also didn't have the hobby of abusing corpses, so what was the sound of bone breaking? Combining it with the mocking smile on A'qi's face, if the leader didn't realize that something had happened at this moment, he wouldn't have survived this long in the Xia Kingdom.

He turned around abruptly, adopting a defensive posture, allowing him to keep an eye on both A'qi and his companion. When he glanced at his companion, he saw a desperate scene.

His seventh-level companion had already turned into a soft corpse. Standing next to the corpse was a black-clad figure with eyes spitting fire, wearing a high-quality protective suit, with a black mask covering his face, looking mysterious.

When did this person arrive? The hunter leader was horrified to discover that he hadn't noticed any clues. Whether it was breathing, heartbeat, or movement, there was nothing, not a single trace. Even now, the black-clad figure was standing not far in front of him, but the hunter leader seemed unable to sense the other party's existence except visually.

A terrifying enemy, whose cultivation was definitely far beyond the seventh level, at least at the legendary realm. Why would such an expert follow behind them and silently kill his companion?

"Damn it, a moment of carelessness, and you bunch of trash dared to hurt my employer," the black-clad man said fiercely to the hunter leader, visibly annoyed.

Employer? The hunter leader instantly understood that this was the beauty's bodyguard. That's right, if it weren't for that, would a beauty dressed like this dare to run around recklessly? How could they all have been so blinded by greed, thinking that this was a fat sheep that they could arbitrarily humiliate?

"Misunderstanding!" The hunter leader instantly sensed the other party's killing intent and quickly shouted.

"Misunderstanding or not, go reunite with your companion!" The black-clad man didn't give the hunter leader a chance, and his figure rapidly advanced.

The hunter leader was also a very experienced expert, knowing that it was impossible to escape at this time. For his own survival, he attacked the other party with all his strength. Every move was a technique of mutual destruction. Since the other party was protecting A'qi, he definitely wouldn't be willing to perish together with him, even if he were injured, he probably wouldn't be happy.

As for capturing A'qi immediately to force the other party to let go? That was simply impossible. Any time he turned his back to this terrifying black-clad man, it would probably be a catastrophe for him.

On the contrary, if he could snatch a chance to escape from the black-clad man's hands, the black-clad man might be concerned about the woman's injuries and wouldn't chase him to the end. This was the only way to truly escape.

As expected, the hunter leader's guess was correct. The black-clad man indeed didn't want to perish together with him, and he indeed didn't want to exchange injuries for his life. The hunter leader finally gained a glimmer of hope for survival due to his correct judgment.

At the cost of leaving two large wounds on his shoulder and arm, the hunter leader finally broke through the black-clad man's blockade. As long as he could escape ten meters forward, he would have a chance to escape in the forest.

However, this little hope completely turned into a bubble because the hunter leader had miscalculated one person.

A'qi was injured, desperate, and heartbroken, but she was still an excellent assassin, a death warrior.

Death warriors are best at launching a counterattack before death, dragging targets far stronger than themselves into the abyss of death together. And at this moment, A'qi hadn't reached that point of despair.

Her right wrist was injured, but A'qi still had her left hand. The dagger was pinned by the dead man's shoulder and flesh, and she couldn't retrieve it, but A'qi still had a hairpin by her side. For an assassin and death warrior like A'qi, that was enough.

The hairpin was no longer by A'qi's side, but appeared on the hunter leader's leg. Even with her left hand, A'qi had enough accuracy to precisely launch the hairpin as a flying dart, inserting it into the hunter leader's leg.

The sudden pain didn't affect the hunter leader's will to escape, but it did affect his escape movements and speed. For the black-clad man, that was enough.

Crack! The last sound the hunter leader heard was the sound of his own neck breaking, and then the world became dark forever.

After killing the hunter leader, the black-clad man turned back, shook his head at A'qi sitting on the ground, and said nothing. He just walked over, about to help A'qi treat her injured wrist, but was stopped by A'qi. The black-clad man didn't speak, left some bandages, and slowly walked to the side.

"He asked you to protect me in secret, didn't he?" A'qi finally had some glimmer in her eyes, and suddenly asked the black-clad man.
