Chapter 3698 Assassinate Levi
“That’s for sure,” Grant interjected. He then stated proudly, “This powerful short sword has been nourished by a spiritual ley line for over twenty years. While it’s no match for a truly legendary weapon, it’s undoubtedly a top-notch sword.
No matter how powerful someone is, it can definitely inflict damage on the person, let alone Levi, who’s merely an ordinary physical cultivator.”
As Gloria took the powerful short sword from him, she could distinctly sense the terrifying corrosive aura glinting off the blade. “All that’s left is to see whether Floyd succeeds in the assassination attempt,” Gloria murmured insidiously.
Shortly after, Gloria met up with Floyd. Having listened to some seemingly dissuading and comforting remarks that were instigative and provocative in reality, Floyd left in a fit of pique with the powerful short sword in hand.
Gloria grew all the more smug as she watched Floyd storm away. Everything was ready then. All that was left was to wait for the results of the assassination attempt. After parting ways with Gloria, Floyd swiftly made his way back to a secluded place outside the base.
He changed into black clothes and put on the mask he prepared beforehand. Then, he closed his eyes and started cultivating. He quietly waited for night to fall.
Thanks to the lookout sentry he posted earlier, he sneaked into the base without alerting anyone. Coupled with the escalation of his capabilities recently, no one discovered him throughout it all.
Levi’s secret room for solitary training is right ahead. The guards at the door rotate every fifteen minutes, and there’s about half a minute’s lull during the rotation of guards.
Floyd knew how things worked, so he turned into a black afterimage when the first squad of guards left. In the blink of an eye, he streaked past the flat area and successfully slipped into the tunnel leading to the secret room. Thud! Thud! Thud!
Sure enough, he heard the footsteps of the guards who had just come on duty mere seconds after he had slipped into the tunnel.
What a bunch of idiots! How could you all discover my tracks with your low cultivation level? If it weren’t because I was worried I’d alarm Levi, I would’ve just killed my way in. Well, I suppose no one can stop me anymore in this base!
All smug, Floyd continued making his way in furtively. His body was as light as a feather, making no sound as he stepped on the ground.
Soon, he came to the secret room at the end of the tunnel. He placed his ear against the stone door and listened for movement inside carefully. Vaguely, he could sense the sound of breathing.
It’s evident that Levi is in solitary training, and from the look of things, he seems to be at the critical stage. When one was at Floyd’s cultivation level, one could basically judge a cultivator’s cultivation state through the rhythm of their breathing.
Be patient. You must wait until his breathing speeds up before making your move. Everyone knew that cultivators were wholly engaged while cultivating in solitary training. Their breathing would also increase in speed as they practiced their techniques.
Therefore, it was easiest to lose themselves if they were attacked at such a time. For that reason, those in solitary training required someone to guard over them and were most fearful of being disrupted at a critical moment.
Floyd waited for an hour. The sounds of breathing in the room grew increasingly louder. It’s time. He silently pushed the stone door open. After opening a gap that could barely fit a person, he darted in like a shadow.
Swoosh! Upon entering the secret room, he was greeted by the sight of Levi suspended in mid-air. With the man’s body acting as the center, a massive energy vortex had taken shape.
At the same time, the spiritual energy from the earth and air around him was rushing into his body. Meanwhile, Levi himself still had his eyes screwed shut, completely immersed in the mysterious state of cultivation. It was evident that he hadn’t sensed anyone entering the room.
Truly, this is a godsent opportunity! The corners of Floyd’s mouth lifted slightly. He slowly approached Levi. He took a step, then two, and so on.
Finally, he came to a stop about two to three meters away from Levi. Since you dare stop me from being with Gloria, I’m sending you to meet your maker!
All of a sudden, a chilling murderous aura radiated off Floyd. Aiming for the man’s heart from the back, he lunged forward.
