Ranking Of Kings: My Land Is SSS Rank - Chapter 715
715 The Game Begins
During the coin-making process, the Kingdom of Dawn gradually became quiet.
The assassination was terrifying and the anger in the hearts of the people was naturally very violent. However, they had no way to vent their anger in the situation where they could not find the assassin. In the end, they could only helplessly suppress it.
After a moment of anger, they could only leave and return home.
Today’s night market ended earlier than any other day.
!!
However, the number of constables patrolling the streets had increased. Everyone’s face was very serious and gloomy, and their eyes were full of anger. Today’s incident was undoubtedly a slap in their faces, making them feel extremely humiliated.
Since they couldn’t find their target, all they could do was patrol the area. Although they knew very well that the possibility of them stopping the murderer was not high, or almost zero, this was the only thing they could do now.
If they were to rest, how could they fall asleep?
In the shadows, a figure that was undetectable even if she got close, was looking at the closely patrolling constables in the city. The corners of her mouth curled up, revealing an extremely disdainful sneer, her eyes full of ridicule.
“No matter how frequently you patrol, no one can stop me from killing, day or night. From today on, the entire Kingdom of Dawn will be shrouded in the threat of fear that I’ve spread. The game has just begun. If I don’t have a good time, how can I end it so easily? Are you guys ready to play with me?”
This person was the Shadow Demon race assassin, Yingci.
The previous three people had died under her assassination.
It wasn’t difficult for her at all. She could kill a person in one shot easily. It was easier than eating and drinking.
“The more irascible the people of the Kingdom of Dawn are, the more I like it. It’s more wonderful to crush their morale bit by bit. It’ll be boring if they’re crushed too quickly!”
Yingci’s eyes were filled with intense excitement.
She felt as if the blood in her body was starting to boil. It had been a long time since she had encountered such an exciting thing. She even had the urge to stab a few people and kill them to vent her excitement and joy.
“Killing three people in a day is the rule of the game I set myself, so I must abide by it. However, as long as it was past midnight, it would be considered the next day. I didn’t specify the time. The game will start again after midnight. Look forward to it, tremble, and enjoy the bloody feast of death that I’m about to bring!”
Yingci muttered to herself excitedly. However, that voice only flowed in her mouth and did not come out. No one could hear it at night.
She could hide in the shadows and escape anytime. No one could find her position.
“How about these constables? No, forget it. I’ve already killed a constable, a bounty hunter, and a hawker. I’ll change my target this time. I’m going to kill an old man, a child, and a woman. Okay, let’s do that!”
Yingci began to look for her next target.
She didn’t choose a specific person as her target, but the type of person. A simple massacre, in her opinion, was simply too low-level and could not bring her any pleasure at all.
After making her decision, Yingci began to move.
Find the target, and confirm the target.
There were too many of these three types of people in the Kingdom of Dawn. She quickly decided on her target. Then, she hid in a hidden place and waited.
To an assassin, patience was a necessary quality. One can’t be a good killer without patience. Without patience, one might die. This was the experience passed down through the genes of the Shadow Demon race.
Thus, the Shadow Demon race had always been patient.
They could hide for a few days, or even dozens of days, or even months. They could remain motionless, just to find an opportunity to kill in one strike. This was a rather terrifying talent.
Time passed by quietly.
It was already midnight. A new day was about to begin. The day had already begun from this moment on.
“The game has begun!”
Yingci licked her lips excitedly as if her hunger was unbearable.
The first person she chose was a woman. She was not very old, only in her twenties. This woman lived alone, and it was obvious that she had not found her other half yet.
It seemed that because of the assassination recently, she was still holding a short sword in her hand even when she was sleeping.
What was certain was that any slight movement would wake her up immediately.
Don’t think of her as a gentlewoman. She was a cultivator, a transcendent female cultivator. She didn’t just know how to embroider with her bare hands.
“The game will start with you!”
When Yingci saw this, the corners of her mouth curled into a cold smile.
With a single thought, a pitch-black dagger appeared silently beside the young lady. The length and shape of this short sword were no different from the one in her hand.
Shua!
In the next moment, the dagger thrust toward the lady’s heart.
“Eh?”
But at this moment, Yingci couldn’t help but let out a sound of surprise. The dagger she was controlling had strangely stopped in mid-air and didn’t move according to her thoughts.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to, but she couldn’t.
She felt that the dagger seemed to contain another power that she could not control at all.
It was a strange feeling.
She could still feel her control over the dagger, but the problem was that it was like an ant trying to move an elephant. Even though she used all her strength, she still couldn’t move the dagger at all.
She had never encountered such a strange situation before.
“How could this be? Something’s wrong!” An uneasy thought flashed through Yingci’s mind.
In an instant, her body was completely hidden in the shadows, and she fled into the distance without any hesitation. She shuttled through the shadows at an extremely shocking speed. If she missed her target, she would immediately escape. This was the way of an assassin.
Even though she didn’t notice anything, this strange change still made her escape without hesitation.
In her heart, the Kingdom of Dawn wasn’t as insignificant as she claimed. It was a dangerous place. Even Rat Devourers, which were hiding underground, had been fished out by a group of Straw men. The scene of them being fished out like a dead fish was deeply imprinted in her mind.
