"Ding!"
The two people's weapons were both small knives that leaned towards hidden weapons. Immediately, an intense collision occurred at close range!
"It seems that your strength is not as good as mine.”Kirito held the knife in his hand and was in a deadlock with the other party's dagger. The two of them had similar strength, and for a moment, neither of them could do anything to the other.
"You…how did you discover me?”The other party stared at Kirito with a pair of vicious eyes and asked with a puzzled expression.
"There's no need to answer you." Kirito said calmly. In fact, he had only discovered the potential enemies because of the system mission. This A-rank mission to protect Asuna was a phased mission, and the completion rate of each phase was displayed on it. Just now, when he stopped the rich merchant and his group from approaching, they fled in a panic. At this moment, the system mission completion rate showed a 5% completion rate. This sudden change left Kirito confused. Logically speaking, even if Kirito did not make a move earlier, it would be impossible for ordinary people like the wealthy merchant to hurt Aina and the others. Although Hinata was only a Genin now, it was more than enough to deal with these people in front of him. However, Aina was not an ordinary person who did not have the ability to protect herself.
However, after expelling the wealthy businessman and his party, Kirito's system mission showed that he had completed 5% of the mission. What did this mean? Only when danger was prevented from descending upon Asuna could the mission be considered completed. This meant that this group of people had threatened Asuna's safety just now. This threat was inadvertently stopped by Kirito, which was why the progress of the mission had changed!
With this suspicion in mind, Kirito secretly followed this group of people. However, it seemed that Kirito's guess was indeed confirmed!
After completing 5% of the mission, the system rewarded him with an extra attribute point. Kirito placed it on his weakest point, Strength. His physical strength had indeed improved significantly.
The enemy in front of him was clearly skilled in assassination. At the same time, as an assassin, his speed was very fast, but his strength was still insufficient. Kirito had just added this strength attribute point, allowing him to be able to use the strength of this 13-year-old youth to be almost the same as the strength of a 20-year-old adult. It could be seen how much his strength had increased after the attribute was added.
"Ding!" He knew that he was in a very dangerous situation. He did not know when Muye's ninjas would arrive, but it would not be long. The longer he was delayed, the more dangerous it would be. The man became impatient and forcefully broke free from the stalemate with Kirito. He then took out a psychic scroll with his left hand and took out a sharp steel claw. He put it on his left hand and grabbed at Kirito's chest.
"Clang!" Since the opponent was using a long weapon, Kirito naturally could not block it with the dagger in his hand. Therefore, he decisively summoned his katana and parried the opponent's attack. Although the Nameless Zanzao in Kirito's hands was only in its shallow form, as a weapon, its hardness and sharpness were impeccable!
Kirito's sharp eyes noticed that the sharp claws were faintly emitting a strange green light. It was obvious that the opponent's weapon was dipped in an unknown poison.
"An assassin's usual trick? Although it's not up to me to say." Kirito gripped the hilt of the knife tightly with both hands. Then, he used all his strength to turn the knife that was stuck on the steel claw. Instantly, the sharp blade easily broke off one of the nails on it.
" Huh?!" He was obviously surprised by the weapon Kirito was using. After the first few encounters, he had determined that Kirito was an assassin like him, or at least not the type to fight head-on. However, he did not expect Kirito to be using a samurai sword.
"You can't be distracted in battle.”Kirito gripped his saber tightly with both hands and continued to suppress his opponent's claws. In terms of strength, Kirito could reach the same level as his opponent after increasing his attribute points. However, his weapon was longer, so he had a slight advantage. At the same time, after the broken steel nail fell off, Kirito raised his leg and kicked it with all his might, instantly sending the poisoned steel nail flying towards him.
His expression changed drastically. As someone who had personally dipped the poison, he naturally knew how powerful the poison in this weapon was. It was extremely poisonous. It could quickly deprive the target of their ability to move with just a slight scratch.
He forcefully turned his body to avoid the poisonous sting. However, at the same time, because his body's strength was diverted, the long saber in Kirito's hand that was originally suppressing his opponent immediately pressed down even more.
"Bang!" Kirito used all his strength to knock away the opponent's claw. At the same time, he turned around and kicked the latter's chest.
"Damn it!" He was obviously furious after being sent flying by Kirito's kick. However, he specialized in assassination and was weak in direct combat. As a result, he was unable to fight from the start. However, he did not know that Kirito's direct combat ability was not very strong.
Considering that if the stalemate continued, Muye's reinforcements would feel that the other party had the intention to retreat. His gaze flickered a few times before he took out a scroll from his waist. He pulled it open and saw a large word "Edge" wrapped in countless spell symbols in the middle of the scroll.
"Swoosh swoosh ~" After injecting the chakra, a large number of shuriken Kuna flew out from the scroll and attacked Kirito in a concentrated manner.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding ~" However, for Kirito, who was skilled in concealed weapons, the Shuriken Kuna was useless to him. He wielded a saber in one hand, and with a quick swing, he cut off the large number of Shuriken Kuna that were attacking him!
"Tsk!" When he saw that his last resort was still unable to do anything to Kirito, he immediately turned around and fled with the help of the last detonation talisman.
There was no feint attack. A simple detonation talisman attack naturally could not hit Kirito. However, the other party's goal was not this. He was using this empty opportunity to escape decisively. By the time Kirito dodged the explosive wind from the Detonation Talisman, he had already run a hundred meters away.
"I've already chased you all the way here. Don't even think about running away from me!”Kirito immediately summoned his M700 light sniper rifle and aimed it accurately at the fleeing enemy.
" That's…" After he ran a hundred meters away, he turned his head to confirm the pursuers behind him. He realized that Kirito was not chasing after him, but had taken out something on the spot.
"Humph! " Now that things have come to this, can you still catch me…" However, before he could finish his mocking words, he heard a crisp sound of a blow. At the same time, he felt his left leg go numb, and his body, which was in a sprinting state, fell heavily!
