The Drowning Boy

Time flew by, 2 days passed.

In the early morning, before the sun had risen, on the side of the small road outside Holy Spirit Village, beneath a large tree, stood a boy who appeared to be 11-12 years old.

He looks ordinary, the only thing special about him is his cold eyes without any emotion, and his slender hands and powerful fingers.

Currently, he was holding a paper in his hand with some information written on it:

Jiang Chen, 6 years old, just awakened his Martial Spirit, Martial Spirit is a Vampire, Innate Full Spirit Power, regarded as a Plague God by all of Holy Spirit Village, born with divine strength and loves to go fishing in the river in the morning...

The information on the paper is extremely detailed, it even has a portrait of Jiang Chen, which is 80%-90% similar to what Jiang Chen looks like.

This information has been gathered by their organization after a day of investigation and with some information provided by Ma Nuo.

The Assassin organization he is in has professionals that specialise in gathering intelligence, and besides, it is not difficult for the Villagers of Holy Spirit Village to complain to them and unconsciously give away information about Jiang Chen.

The time Ma Nuo had given them to complete the Mission is 3 days, now, 1 day has passed, and the young man is finally ready to act.

"Vampire Martial Spirit? What kind of Martial Spirit is this?" The teenager was a little confused. As Assassins, they often assassinate various unusual targets. Over the years, they have gathered intelligence regarding all sorts of Martial Spirits, but in all their years of activity, a Vampire Martial Spirit has never appeared.

When he saw Jiang Chen having inborn divine strength, his dull face showed a trace of disdain, he thought that the investigators were too cautious, they even noted such useless information.

A 6-year-old child, even if he was born with divine strength, could he still escape from him, a Rank 19 Spirit Master?

In his opinion, that so-called inborn divine strength is nothing more than an exaggeration, at most, the child has 100 catties (60 KG) worth of strength.

It is a pity that the investigators did not see Jiang Chen running around with a stone mill in his arms, otherwise, they would definitely circle the words "divine strength" with a red pen and warn him to be cautious.

In fact, the investigator at the time had the same thoughts as the boy now, he thought that the inborn divine strength the Villagers were talking about was an exaggeration, but in the end, he recorded this information despite thinking it is false.

"He loves to go fishing in the river in the morning." A cold light appeared in the young boy's dead eyes, he folded the paper and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Shadow!" He snorted, suddenly, a Yellow Spirit Ring appeared around his body, the Spirit ring then lit up. The boy turned into something akin to a liquid as he merged into the tree's shadow, making it difficult for one to notice him.

His goal was to cause Jiang Chen's accidental death, and if Jiang Chen went fishing in the river this morning, it would be best since he can more easily deal with him.

But if Jiang Chen did not come out all day, he can only sneak into Holy Spirit Village at night and deal with him then.

He was proficient in countless killing methods, enough to kill Jiang Chen and make it seem like an accident, such as catching on fire, being bitten by a poisonous snake, falling into a well…

The young man silently waited, without a trace of a fluctuation in his mood.

He had already started killing people since the age of 6, by now, his heart had turned to stone. He did not feel the slightest remorse for killing a 6-year-old child.

It is just that there is some regret in his heart, Innate Full Spirit Power, he is a peerless genius, the hope of the entire Village, it is a pity...

It did not take long for a little figure to walk out of the entrance of Holy Spirit Village and walk in the large tree's direction.

This figure was Tang San, as usual, he had woken up early to cultivate at the mountain. His steps were light, each step was quick and precise.

After getting a certain distance from Holy Spirit Village, Tang San's speed increased, he passed by the tree like a gust of wind.

The assassin boy recognized that this was not his target, but Tang San's horrifying performance made him secretly startled. This thin boy, who looked to be only 5-6 years old, was so fast he is worthy of the moniker 'monster'.

His speed is not much worse than his, a Rank 19 Spirit Master.

If he was not currently hiding, you would notice his always calm eyes had become full of shock.

However, his training and experience kept him from showing any fluctuations and signs of his presence. This is an essential skill for every Assassin.

Tang San flashed past the large tree and found no abnormalities with it. Beneath the cold gaze of the assassin, he went up the distant mountain.

The young man continued to wait patiently, like a cold and poisonous snake hiding in the dark waiting for an opportunity to give a fatal blow at any time.

Finally, another small figure walked out of Holy Spirit Village, it was Jiang Chen who had come out in search of food.

After just finishing a night of training, Jiang Chen was not as impatient as Tang San to cultivate and begin training, instead, he headed leisurely towards the river.

Although cultivation can make him feel comfortable, he still needs to relax as well. The moment when everything wakes up in the morning and the fragrance of flowers and songs of birds leave him happy, relaxed and refreshed.

"Grandpa Jack asked me to patrol the mountain and grab breakfast for Tang San while I am at it..."

Jiang Chen hummed a song and walked by the large tree at a slow pace.

Suddenly, he stopped humming, his steps paused and his face was a little puzzled.

His nose twitched ever so slightly, he had picked up the scent of a stranger not far from him.

But he glanced around and found that there was no one else besides him.

Jiang Chen slowly walked under the shade, he walked back and forth in the shadow several times.

"Strange, is there something wrong with my senses?" Jiang Chen murmured.

In the end, he shook his head helplessly and left with a face full of confusion.

After Jiang Chen's figure disappeared, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the shade of the tree, finally, the black shadow gradually became clear, forming into a young man.

His expression was startled, Jiang Chen's actions just now shocked him. Jiang Chen could sense him!

Only in the end because he could not find out where he was, did he leave in doubt.

"Perhaps this is his Vampire Spirit's Ability." The young man inwardly mused, he then followed in the direction Jiang Chen left in.

Since his target has appeared, it is time for him to take action.

A 6-year-old boy drowning in a river is a normal occurrence, he does not think someone would suspect homicide.

At this time, Jiang Chen had already gotten into the river. The river was deep and there were many fish around him since he is in the deep end it is easy for him to catch fish.

At this moment, he vaguely heard the sound of footsteps approaching, it was accompanied by that strange scent again.

This time, the scent was stronger than before. Jiang Chen knew that someone was walking towards the river.

The assassin walked to the river bank, he stopped beside Jiang Chen's clothes on the bank, his eyes scanned the river's surroundings, making sure there is no one to witness this.

Jiang Chen raised his head and looked at the figure on the water with some doubts, his head suddenly emerged from the water.

He looked at the young man suspiciously, he found that the other person was looking at him with a strange expression.

"Are you Jiang Chen?" The boy's voice was a little cold.
