Despite the height at which they were, they landed without any problem, the lady placed Abel aside as her gaze quickly surveyed the area.
On his part, Abel had already recovered from the shock earlier, as his brain processed what had happened at high speed.
"In order to take down a rank 3 beast with one blow, I'm afraid that only someone on the stage of martial master or higher can pull it off."
Although the eagle did not stand out for its strength but its speed and stamina, making it suitable for long journeys, it was still a rank 3 beast, unless there is a huge difference in strength, it would not fall in a single hit.
As Abel reflected on this, a flash appeared above the sky, which did not escape the gaze of the lady, who, upon seeing it, snorted annoyed as she held Abel again and proceeded to retreat quickly.
Abel also noticed the attack, being able to see it better, he noticed that it was nothing more than a fire arrow, which contained enormous power.
Suddenly, the arrow exploded right in the air above their heads, apparently whoever launched that arrow knew that they were going to retreat, since shortly after the arrow exploded, an infinity of tiny arrows emerged from that explosion, destroying everything where they touch.
Seeing this, the lady's complexion darkened, but she immediately took out from her space storage bag a huge shield, which served as protection against that area attack, protecting them from the rain of fiery arrows.
Seeing this, Abel was surprised, since the shield perfectly protected both of them, in addition, by its appearance, it did not seem to have been damaged much when resisting that attack.
Once the shower of arrows ended, the lady withdrew her shield, her already gloomy complexion darkening even more as she noticed that, in front of them, 3 people had appeared.
Abel also noticed the 3 people, but his complexion paled when he noticed the aura of the person in the middle, he had never felt such a powerful aura, making the aura of the fire lion and purple thunder look like that of a baby in front of an adult.
"I'm afraid it can only belong to someone on the martial master stage, plus one who already has his time at that level."
The 3 people in front of him had their faces covered and were dressed completely in black, in addition to their eyes, their entire body was covered by some garment.
The lady frowned at this, as her gaze appraised the person in the middle, obviously she also recognized the strength of the other party.
The group dressed in black said nothing, but her gazes were focused on the lady in front of them, completely ignoring Abel.
As both groups evaluated each other, the lady noticed that the person in the middle had a purple crystal-shaped earring in his right ear, a detail that caused a tinge of fear to appear in his eyes.
This did not escape the sight of Abel, who was on high alert, his concentration had never been so high, even when he faced the lion of fire and thunder, and the realization of this made him worry a lot.
"Obviously they are going after the lady, and it seems that she recognizes them too, but which faction could send three assassins, two at the late martial soldier stage and one at the martial master stage? If you ask me, only they can begin to form their sect by themselves."
Although Abel acted calm, fear and anger were seeping into his mind, although he did not want to think more deeply about it, it was obvious that, unintentionally, his decision to go to the Burning Blood sect had gotten him into this huge mess.
Suddenly, the lady let out a deep sigh, and with some sadness in her voice, she said:
"I didn't think they would find me so soon, or rather, I didn't think that bastard would take things that far, but please, at least let the boy go, he has nothing to do with this matter."
After she finished saying this, the man in the middle, who was the leader of the other two, spoke, in a rather hoarse and shrill voice:
"It seems that you already recognized us, it also seems that you will not run either, but I'm sorry, the young master already gave orders not to leave any evidence, so that child will also accompany you to the afterlife."
Right after finishing his words, the man made a sign, indicating for one of those accompanying him to attack.
Although reluctantly, the person turned his gaze towards Abel, who, to Abel, seemed to have disappeared from his position suddenly only to appear in front of him, holding a dagger, pointed directly at his heart.
Unconsciously, Abel took out a dagger from his storage bag and narrowly deflected the other party's attack and quickly fell back a couple of meters, but the attack still managed to hurt him, oozing blood from where he was pierced.
At this, Abel gritted his teeth and used a fire technique on himself, causing him great pain, but cauterizing and closing the wound quickly.
This performance not only surprised the lady, who had been careless for a moment, but also greatly surprised the group of murderers, especially the one who had attacked him, looking in disbelief at the child who had managed to escape death for a very little.
At that moment, the lady reacted quickly and attacked the person who injured Abel, who because he was stunned, reacted quite late and was seriously injured by the lady, who did not know when she had pulled out a silver halberd, pointing at the three assassins.
This situation caused the leader to frown, but he quickly calmed down, before throwing a pill at his injured comrade who took it quickly, shortly after, his wounds quickly healed.
The lady on her side also threw a pill at Abel, who quickly took it, shortly after, she felt his body recover even faster than before, the wound on his shoulder had practically recovered.
Seeing this, the leader decided not to waste any more time, as he faced the lady he said:
"Game over, you two, take care of that kid, you must have seen how weird about him, right? I'll take care of her."
At this, the other two people exchanged glances and nodded at the same time, as they quickly lunged towards Abel.
At this, the lady acted quickly, who with a single sweep of her spear drove the two approaching back, buying enough time to speak to Abel.
"We don't have much time, can you hold those two back for a while I take care of their leader?"
Abel, who knew that there was no time to blame anyone, and knowing that it was quite difficult to escape from this situation without the help of the lady, decided to accept his offer, while he said:
"It can contain both, but my daggers will not be enough, they are in poor condition, I need a pair of swords."
This request caught the lady off guard, who she did not think twice about throwing a pair of 90cm long gray swords at Abel.
Abel took them quickly, but did not have time to analyze them further as the lady had already drifted away along with the leader, leaving the way open for the other two to attack quickly in his direction.
At this, Abel cursed his bad luck as he immediately unleashed his dual sword art at full power, causing the gray glows of both swords to turn bright gold blocking both incoming attacks.
This caused Abel to step back a couple of meters, both arms hurt a lot, causing him to barely hold both swords without them falling from his hands, obviously the attack of his opponents was more than he could bear, even with his physical body.
But he did not have time to breathe, since seeing that his attacks were blocked, both assassins resumed their blows with greater intensity, driving Abel back more and more, unable to counterattack.
"Damn, if this keeps up, I won't last for more than a few seconds, they aren't even using martial attack techniques, but I can barely contain both of them."
Abel knew that he could not continue like this, so he thought of innumerable ways to counterattack, unfortunately, he was already using all his learned techniques to their maximum potential, making it impossible for him to get out of his precarious situation.
Little by little, cuts were appearing on Abel's body, his arms grew numb more and more, making a titanic task just to wield both swords.
This situation did not escape the eyes of the assassins, who began to attack even more fiercely, without letting Abel breathe.
Faced with this desperate situation, the wavering eyes suddenly became determined, he circulated his heavenly qi even faster and attacked his two assailants with great fury, who fell back, giving Abel a brief respite.
"I have no other option, the only way to get out of here alive is to raise my cultivation level, after all, I am still at the 4th level of body refinement."
If anyone knew what was going through Abel's head, they would brand him as crazy and reckless, after all, every breakthrough must be made after great consideration and one step at a time, plus a quiet environment, however, Abel wanted Advancing in the heat of battle, only leaving aside the fact that not all his concentration will be to ensure his advance, any mistake in the process could kill him, not to mention that cultivating heavenly qi would only make the process more dangerous.
Abel wasted no more time, he had decided what he would do, so with the few seconds he bought by pushing them back, he began to circulate his art of divine assimilation of 9 elementals at full power, each cycle completing quickly, and because He was already on the verge of a breakthrough, he quickly reached the 5th level of body refinement.
But Abel didn't stop there, he kept absorbing even more celestial qi from the seal, further fueling his cultivation.
"It's not enough, it's not enough yet, if I want to defeat these bloody assassins, I must go even further."
At the stunned gaze of both assassins, Abel's level and aura increased more and more, with no signs of stopping.
