Chapter 536: 536

Seeing that the Robe of Law was in front of him, Wood knew that his risky return became a failure .

But he didn’t want to give up .

As an ace spy, he had encountered countless dangers throughout his life . The current situation was far from “desperation . ”

As expected, it didn’t take long before the opportunity came .

No one knew what the director was thinking, but he actually came here, too . Moreover, this guy actually went directly to Wood . The distance between them was shorter than 20 steps .

This distance was easily within Wood’s reach!

As a high-level paladin, he was best at mid-range attacks . At such a distance, he could use two steps at most to rush to the director’s face . According to the speed of his attack, two steps were equal to the time it took to blink once .

How long did it take to blink? Few people calculated it because it was too short .

Wood used to think so, but this time, he felt that a blink was still too long .

If the time could be shorter, it would be better!

In a flash, Wood rushed to the face of the intelligence director, and he pulled out his sword at his waist .

Of course, he didn’t rush over to talk to the director . He didn’t want to negotiate . He wanted to do only one thing .

Kill!

The reason why he wanted to kill the intelligence director was due to personal resentment, but that was secondary . The main reason was that he believed this person shouldn’t live in this world anymore .

This person framed an ace spy of the federation because of envy . No matter how noble his identity was, he was only suitable for being an unimportant official . He was not suitable for being a director in a key department .

However, this guy was now a director, and he was in one of the most important departments of the federation—the Intelligence Department .

To make matters worse, this guy had been an intelligence director for more than a decade .

That was a very serious mistake! Wood decided to correct it .

This might be the last thing he did for the federation, so he wanted to do it well without any mistakes . For so many years, he had rarely made mistakes in his tasks . He didn’t want to discredit his glorious resume at the last moment .

So he wanted to be faster so that no one could react . The intelligence director would have no time to resist or escape because of his fast speed . That would be good!

Wood did his best . It was the first time since he stepped into the high level . He was a little surprised to find that his pace was faster than that in the past, and his sword was faster, too . The improvement was not obvious, but he was already very fast . On that basis, even if he was only a little faster, it would be a huge improvement .

Just like in the 100-meter race on earth, professional athletes could finish it in 11 . 5 seconds, national athletes in 11 seconds, world-class athletes in 10 . 5 seconds, and Olympic final players in ten seconds . As for 9 . 5 seconds—at least before Sui Xiong space-traveled here, no one on earth could be that fast .

One hundred meters, from 11 . 5 seconds to 9 . 5 seconds—the gap was just two seconds . The distance of 20 steps was as long as 15 meters on earth, less than 1/6 of 100 meters .

Suppose that there was a person who was the champion of all the physical competition events on earth . He achieved a world record that no one could break . At this distance, his rushing speed was a little faster than in the past . What did that mean?

There was a phrase that was very suitable in describing that—as fast as lightning .

At least for the intelligence director, Wood was really as fast as lightning .

At the moment when Wood rushed over, the intelligence director didn’t react . When he reacted, it was about 1/10 of a second later, or a little longer .

Anyway, when he came back to his senses, Wood had already rushed to his face . He even saw the blinding light of Wood’s sword .

A sword’s cold light .

At this moment, the intelligence director’s thoughts were fast beyond imagination . He remembered a lot of things in a mess, but it disappeared with nothing left, like water infiltrating into the sand instantly .

He wanted to react . For example, he was also carrying a sword . He could use it to fight . He also carried several advanced magic scrolls, and he could cast spells . Moreover, he had several good magic items . As long as he activated them, not only could he save himself, but also he could kill Wood .

But he just “thought . ” He could do nothing but think .

His body couldn’t keep up with the speed of his mind . He saw Wood rushing towards him, and he saw Wood pulling out his sword . He saw his bodyguards trying to block Wood, but they didn’t have the time to rush over or to even pull out their swords . He saw the official who was in charge of spy work with a stunned expression on, his mouth wide open . He saw that the great mage, whom he had just contacted with, was also stunned . Then the face of the great mage was full of anger, and his body let out strong magical fluctuations .

The intelligence director also saw that at least four or five magic lights rushed in from all directions . The lights were about to stop Wood . He also saw that a magic light flashed on his own body . Most likely, the magic item that could save his life was passively activated .

But he could only “see . ”

The sword’s cold light was getting closer and closer . It stabbed towards his forehead .

Everything was meaningless to him at the moment, everything except for the glinting light that was getting closer and closer .

At this moment, he suddenly had a wonderful feeling .

So beautiful!

Time stopped . All kinds of magic spells coming from all directions stopped . The sword that was faster than any spells stopped .

So beautiful!

Wood’s sword pierced his forehead with powerful airflow . It smashed half of his skull . At that moment, that sentence was all he was thinking in his mind .

If someone examined his body carefully, they would find that the expression on his face was not fear or horror . Although he was assassinated by Wood, the last expression on his face was sincere and pure admiration without any impurities .

The sword’s light flashed and disappeared . Then, magic lights of various colors appeared .

Most of these magic lights fell on Wood’s body, and only one fell on the intelligence director, mixing in with the light that flashed on the director .

However, it was useless . The director was already dead .

The situation was similar to those lights that attacked Wood .

When the first light fell on Wood, his speed slowed down instantly, and it was as slow as a freeze-frame in a movie .

Then, the second light fell, and his face instantly became gray . His vitality quickly left his body .

The third light fell, and half his body became withered . The enchanted sword in his hand lost its brilliance, and it looked a little rusty .

The fourth light fell, and his eyes completely lost vitality . His whole body fell down to the ground .

Before he fell, the fifth light had turned him into dust .

The other following lights all lost their target .
