The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

Panda Novel

No one had a clear view of what happened.

In what was almost a reflex, Ji Fengyan leapt from the back of the stone elephant. The moment her body rose, she caught a glimpse of Master Wan from the corner of her eye. No one knew when he had appeared on the stone elephant!

What incredible speed!

Ji Fengyan lifted her hand and touched the back of her neck. Her fingertips suddenly felt a trickle of warmth.

As she looked at the trace of blood on her fingertips, Ji Fengyan narrowed her eyes slightly.

That was close!

Master Wan was shocked when he saw that Ji Fengyan had dodged his deathblow. The tip of his knife had been poised at the back of Ji Fengyan’s neck and would have pierced her in the blink of an eye.

But Ji Fengyan had dodged aside!

When his blow missed its target, Master Wan’s figure immediately vanished again. Even his aura vanished completely.

His speed was so great that the little old man and the burly man who were standing by the stone elephant gaped.

Was this speed humanly possible?

When Master Yue surveyed the scene, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Lin Qiang, who had lost, frowned slightly. His expression showed that he disagreed with Master Yue’s arrangements.

“Master Yue, did you allow Master Wan to act because…”

Master Yue waved his hand. “In this situation, only Master Wan has a chance of winning. I know that it is inappropriate to allow Master Wan to deal with Ji Fengyan, but under the circumstances, we have no other choice. If the Eldest Princess dies before our eyes, we cannot justify ourselves to His Majesty.”

Lin Qiang frowned, but he said nothing else.

The group of elders included many powerful men. But to tell the truth, Master Wan was the least famous of all the elders. Very few people knew about him. However, in reality, he was the most feared among the elders.

Master Wan was previously an elite archer, and had a strong physique, and keen senses. At that time, he had gained some fame. But at some unknown point, Master Wan had suddenly abandoned archery, and turned to using two strange, short knives. From then on, they lost the brilliant archer from sight.

And a fearsome assassin secretly hid in the darkness.

Master Wan was an elite assassin. His speed and perceptiveness were probably the best among the elders. But what made people fear him was his inborn ability to hide his aura.

In any fight, the moment any powerful person exerted himself even slightly, his aura would immediately spread and his opponent could easily sense his position.

But Master Wan was the exception. As an elite assassin, he could hide his aura until it was almost gone. In addition, the more intense the fight, the weaker his aura became.

To be targeted by an assassin like that, would terrify even Master Yue and the others, who were among the most powerful sorcerers.

Although Master Wan was a member of the group of elders, he was the only one who frequently acted in concert with the Emperor.

Master Yue and the others knew that to ensure the stability of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon, Master Wan had secretly killed many powerful men from hostile countries.

Among them were some especially powerful ones, such as a Master of Heavenly Creatures. Even if they were surrounded by powerful forms of protection, Master Wan could still easily kill them. No one was able to thwart him.

“If Master Wan wishes to kill someone, even if the gods protect him, he has no chance of survival.” Master Yue said with assurance.
