Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 36 Damn it! Am I that strong? (Please continue reading)

The three brothers rushed toward the stranger without prior arrangement.

This was the order Li Wei had been instilling in them: kill any strangers who didn't enter through the main gate.

The Phantom Knight's entire body was tense.

"Damn beast, how dare you attack a full-fledged knight."

"If you were adults, I would leave without looking back, even if you were just one head, let alone three. But right now you are just a bunch of little guys."

The Phantom Knight's Siren Breathing Technique was rapidly activated. The Siren Breathing Technique was a rudimentary non-bloodline breathing technique. This breathing technique focused on speed and agility, but in addition, it had another function: to possess extremely strong flexibility like an octopus siren. It could change its body shape by shrinking its bones and enhance its flexibility and agility.

By shrinking his body, the Phantom Knight made himself smaller and more agile, which greatly enhanced his speed and flexibility.

He moved like a nimble groundhog, weaving freely through the attacks of the three brothers, dancing an elegant waltz.

Although the three brothers' attacks were swift, they could barely touch the Phantom Knight.

"I already told you, you are no match for me. If I weren't in a hurry, I would have used my [Ringed-Tailed Sea Serpent Dagger] to bleed you three beasts to death."

The Phantom Knight swiftly leaped over the bear enclosure and disappeared into the night.

The three brothers roared angrily in the direction where the Phantom Knight had disappeared, but they were too clumsy to climb over.

However, the commotion alerted the patrolling soldiers. When they arrived, they were puzzled by the three anxious brothers.

Assuming the three brothers were hungry, the soldiers quickly found food for them and prepared it for them, while also increasing patrols and vigilance.

Meanwhile, after shaking off the three giant bears, the Phantom Knight elegantly straightened his clothes and then put on a black raven mask that resembled a crow's beak.

This is the "Deathbird Mask," the standard mask of the "Voice of the Deathbird" organization. It serves two purposes: first, to prevent others from seeing one's face clearly; and second, to protect against poison and dust, so that assassins won't accidentally injure themselves when using quicklime or other poisonous gases on their targets.

What is professionalism? This is professionalism!

The Voice of the Dead Bird: An absolutely professional assassination team!

The Phantom Knight didn't just work for the money. After more than a decade in the business, he had earned thousands of gold coins through assassination missions, which was more than many minor nobles could afford, enough for him to enjoy his retirement and live out the rest of his life in comfort.

But he didn't do that. He enjoyed this life of dancing on the edge of a knife, and he squandered all the money he earned.

Murder, what a wonderful thing! Every perfect assassination is like composing a beautiful death song.

The Phantom Knight couldn't help but hum a warm nursery rhyme from his hometown.

"Little white rabbit, cute little white rabbit; I'm going to pluck your fur."

"Little white rabbit, obedient little white rabbit; I'll pull off your head first."

"Little white rabbit, kind little white rabbit; then pull your tail."

……

Using his skillful lock-picking techniques, the Phantom Knight gently opened Li Wei's door, making almost no sound in the process.

A qualified assassin must learn to stealth.

He arrived at Li Wei's bedside as lightly as a musical note.

On the bed, Baron Levi lay on his side, covered with a blanket, sleeping soundly with steady breathing and a relaxed expression, accompanied by soft snoring. He seemed to be sleeping very well…

The Phantom Knight drew his dagger and gently applied poison to the blade.

"To die in your sleep is a mercy bestowed upon you by the Lord of Shadows. Farewell, Baron Levi," the Phantom Knight thought to himself.

The sharp dagger was thrust towards Li Wei's heart.

This sharp dagger will shatter Li Wei's heart, and to be on the safe side, even if he doesn't die from the first blow, the super venom from the [Ringtailed Sea Serpent] will quickly spread throughout Li Wei's body via his bloodstream, poisoning him to death.

However, the next moment, a pitch-black hand grabbed the Phantom Knight's right arm and took away his dagger.

All of this happened so fast, it seemed that Li Wei hadn't slept at all, but had been prepared all along.

The Phantom Knight felt himself being grabbed by a tremendous force. His Siren Breathing Technique was only at a rudimentary level. Although it was much stronger than that of an ordinary person, it was still completely outclassed by Li Wei's excellent Black Serpent Breathing Technique.

He grabbed the Phantom Knight's collar with his hand, and with a somersault, he stood up. His tall frame, over 1.8 meters, stood on the bed, pulling the Phantom Knight up. He was wearing two layers of chainmail vests, and a breastplate covered his chest with a black snake pattern engraved on it. Li Wei had always slept like this; only in this way could he dare to fall asleep. So even if the Phantom Knight stabbed him in the heart, it would be of no use.

"You want to get me killed?!"

Li Wei had indeed been sleeping, but after being awakened by the three brothers' shouts, he could not fall back asleep and was just pretending to be asleep.

According to his training requirements for the three brothers, if anyone is found climbing over the wall, they should shout to call the police. Therefore, Li Wei guessed that someone had infiltrated his castle, and the person who was able to climb over the wall to enter the castle was most likely a master, and was very likely coming for him.

He simply pretended to be asleep to see what the intruders were up to.

Sure enough, a strange man in black came to his room, intending to assassinate him!

He appeared to be asleep, but in reality, he was already prepared to fight.

With his right hand restrained by Li Wei, the Phantom Knight formed a claw with his left hand and reached for Li Wei's face. Li Wei used the Frost Wolf Breathing Technique to dodge the Phantom Knight's attack with great speed.

Then he grabbed the Phantom Knight's arm, twisted it hard, and with a snap, the Phantom Knight's arm broke off. He was in excruciating pain. But that wasn't the end of it. Li Wei grabbed his other arm and twisted it off as well.

Then Li Wei jumped off the bed and threw the Phantom Knight directly onto the hard floor. The floor cracked, and all the ribs of the Phantom Knight's formal knight-level body were broken. He coughed up blood.

His mind was in complete disarray. Baron Levi's speed and strength were definitely those of a formal knight!

And judging from the looks of it, he must have been a full-fledged rider for quite some time!

Isn't Li Wei only fifteen years old?

That imposing figure, those devilish muscles, that explosive power, and those black hands like demonic claws.

Holy crap! Is this really fifteen?

He had prepared many backup plans, but at this moment, caught off guard, he was directly beaten by Li Wei, leaving him paralyzed on one side and unable to move.

Li Wei was worried that the person who had inexplicably appeared in his bedroom and was trying to assassinate him might have other ways to harm him, so he planned to knock the person unconscious first, and then, after completely controlling him, ask who sent him to assassinate him.

Then, instinctively, he punched the Phantom Knight in the head with all his might.

The next moment, there was a "click".

My head is split open.

Li Wei stood frozen in place, thinking to himself, "Oh no, I just advanced to a formal knight and didn't control my strength properly."

The assassin, just like that, is dead?

Damn it, am I that strong?
