Assassin's in the wild (a)

Xie Yang was whistling in happiness while moving out of the golden woodlands when he suddenly caught the sound of a footstep.

Although It was barely audible, he had heard it.

'Huh? Is someone following me?' Xie Yang thought while turning around to look at the noise source with a scrutinizing gaze.

He thanked himself for being extra careful and suspicious because the moment he turned around, he saw a man in black rushing towards him without making a sound.

The assassin saw that Xie Yang had already noticed him and no longer felt the need to suppress his breath or silence the sound of its movement.

He pressed his feet on the ground, buckled its knees, and sprang forward.

Whoosh!

He shot towards Xie Yang with incredible speed.

Before Xie Yang knew it, the assassin's sword was inches away from his neck.

His eyes widened for a moment but then narrowed almost immediately.
