17 Chapter 17: A Qi Condensation Realm Assassin!

"So, she has been hiding here! And that brat has awakened from a coma. No wonder she escaped with such injuries. Someone has been helping her. Along with the brat with no cultivation base, there is a second-grade Demonic beast."

Just an hour ago, the figure had spotted a bear carrying water, an unusually suspicious act. Following the bear had led him to the unexpected discovery of their target and others. Although the person in black couldn't witness the scene inside the cave, a unique technique allowed him to sense the aura of three individuals.

"Let's inform others. Have them come here too," the figure in black mumbled to himself, intending to call for reinforcements. However, he abruptly halted, seemingly struck by a sudden thought, and his exposed eyes glinted with danger.

But he stopped as if he thought of something, and looking into his exposed eyes became dangerous. 'Hmm, She is very weak at the moment. If I try, I could kill her myself then…' His heart became fiery after thinking about this. 

He is a member of Black Hawk, a world-famous killer organization with branches scattered around different parts of the continent. Having members of various cultivation bases.

Because of their humongous strength and their high-level assassination techniques, even those superpowers dreaded them. Although he is the member of such a strong organization, he is the lowest member - a scout. 

He had the cultivation base of Qi Condensation Realm which made him unable to raise his status in the organization. The only way to raise the status in the organization is to enter the Foundation Realm.

But how easy is it to enter the Foundation Realm? Resource, Network, guidance are all needed and these elements cost a lot. So if he could kill this woman and get the merit, then it's not impossible to enter the Foundation Realm. 

On the other hand, if he calls others, then the reward would be much less. The man exhaled a breath and said in a frenzied tone, 'Kill! At most, I will die, but if I succeed, then reaching the peak in one step is possible.'

In the end, he decided to assassinate the woman alone. Although there are dangers, don't forget that danger comes with opportunity. So for his bright future, he has to take the risk. But he did not dare to act rashly as according to the information, the woman was at the Peak of Core Formation Realm before she entered the Forbidden Zone. 

Although her soul and cultivation have been hit hard, he can't be sure if she has any means left.

That's why he will wait for the opportunity and then kill her in one strike. 

Beep! Beep! Inside the cave, Ye Jingyi heard a sound in his ears. His pupil shrank as his face became dignified. 

After confirming something, he inadvertently looked outside the cave for a second and then retracted his gaze.

He leaned in close to Hui Ying, his lips almost touching her ears as he spoke softly, "Your enemies are here." 

Hui Ying felt a hot breath on her ears, making her embarrassed. When she heard his words, her body tensed, and she slowly opened her eyes, asking, "Are you sure?"

She had doubts about his warning, which was understandable since he had no cultivation base. How could he detect the assassins from the Black Hawk Organization? 

"One person is squatting on a branch not far away from the cave!" Ye Jingyi said in a low voice. Aware of the danger, he had been scanning the surrounding area from time to time using a basic infrared scan. Just a moment ago, he had discovered a person nearby, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"So dangerous! Looks like I am still careless," Ye Jingyi thought to himself. 

Hui Ying's complexion changed upon hearing him. If it were true, then there was a problem. However, she quickly calmed herself. Although the situation was dangerous, it wasn't without a solution. If the person outside had a cultivation level of Foundation or Core Formation Realm, they would have already attacked. The fact that they hadn't indicated that the assassin's cultivation was likely below Foundation Realm.

In her current state, a Foundation Realm assassin could easily attack and retreat. The Black Hawk members gathered to kill her had a minimum cultivation base of Qi Condensation Realm, and the leader had the highest cultivation base of Low-grade Core Formation Realm. 

Either the person outside was waiting for reinforcements or intended to take her on alone for the reward. In either case, they had a chance to escape, but for now, she could only rely on Ye Jingyi.

Hui Ying narrowed her eyes as she considered this and shared her inference with Ye Jingy who entered into deep thought, then looked at her and asked, "Is that Qi Condensation guy stronger than the bear? If so, how strong?" 

Ye Jingyi pointed to the bear, who sat there with a fearful expression. He wanted to gauge the strength of the opponent before making any plans.

Hui Ying glanced at the bear and replied, "Stronger than this stupid bear. Almost three times stronger." "Okay, then it's easy!" 

Ye Jingyi smiled confidently as he said this.

"Hello! Are you crazy? That's a Qi Condensation Realm! A person at this level can kill me easily," the bear expressed his terror as he looked at Ye Jingyi like he was out of his mind. The bear felt that he was going to die today.

"Kill you easily? I can do the same!" Ye Jingyi gave him a disdainful glance and said. The bear sat in the corner with an unlovable expression.
