Eternal Thief

Chapter 738 Assassin Call



Ace flying like a shooting arrow over his sword, was smiling thievishly as he sensed the Grim Winged Serpent’s indignation while it chased after him, completely forgotten about what had happened the last time it tried to confront him.

However, it wasn’t the Grim Winged Serpent’s fault either because Ace wasn’t wearing the same clothes he was wearing when he confronted the Grim Winged Serpent anymore. He now wore a cloak.

But even if he wasn’t wearing that cloak, Ace was pretty sure anyone would react in the same way if someone snatched away their treasure that they just had snatched after so much difficulty and didn’t even get to touch it.

Furthermore, Ace was quite impressed by Grim Winged Serpent’s performance of drawing the Spirit Fire out and even capturing it within a matter of seconds. He was afraid that if he had to confront that giant flame turtle, it would be very difficult to get that spirit fire.

Just that heat emitted from real Spirit Fire was enough to raise an alarming bell in his thief sense, and without that mysterious lamp, he couldn’t think of a way to capture that spirit fire. So, he was equally curious about that black lamp that could capture and contain the Low-Grade-8 Spirit Fire.

All those answers lie within the Grim Winged Serpent, who was now chasing after him with bloodshot eyes, emitting killing intent. This was what Ace wanted as well, or if the Grim Winged Serpent decided to flee instead of chasing after him, his plan would not succeed at all.

However, to both Ace and Grim Winged Serpent’s surprise, something unexpected happened when they both suddenly looked behind.

They saw the massive flame turtle flying toward them like a meteorite!

‘It can do that?!’ Ace was alarmed as he never expected the turtle to have such an ability, and he clearly didn’t want to confront that things.

The cultivation level of the Flame Turtle was at the peak of the soul realm, but the true problem was that blazing fire emitting from it was truly terrifying, just like the Spirit Fire’s flames.

That’s why even the Grim Winged Serpent was alarmed and tried to increase its speed even more. But he was also in a dilemma because the turtle was going after the one with the Spirit Fire, which was clearly the unknown thief in front of it.

The Grim Winged Serpent was pretty sure that this unknown thief was one of those mysterious aborigines when he noticed the flying sword technique.

Despite having doubts about this person being the same one he encountered when he stepped into this place, he wasn’t sure. Because his position shouldn’t be trackable, and he made sure of it.

Furthermore, by how this person was running instead of confronting it, the Grim Winged Serpent was sure it wasn’t the same person. Or a sword cultivator would never run as almost all the sword cultivators’ minds work in the same direction, direct confrontation.

Lastly, when he thought about how its treasure got stolen under its nose, a very distant memory surfaced in his mind when another hateful thief stole a very important treasure from it, and he absolutely abhorred that guy.

So, all those inner feelings led him to chase after this little thief who stole its precious spirit fire when it was just about to enter its grasp, not to mention that the black lamp was even more precious than the Spirit Fire and the most cherished treasure of the Fox Ancestor.

It was a huge loss and hard to swallow, so there was no way it would let it go that easily. But the turtle behind was catching up to him while the unknown thief was still quite ahead of the Grim Winged Serpent.

Now the Grim Winged Serpent was a sandwich between the turtle’s actual target and the turtle, and if it didn’t get out of the way or do something about the turtle, it would not be pretty for the Grim Winged Serpent and the thief would definitely get away.

Ace also thought as much, and he didn’t want that because, with Spirit Fire, he had another target, the Grim Winged Serpent itself. If the Grim Winged Serpent decided to give up on chasing him and fled, his plan to abduct the Grim Winged Serpent would go down the drain.

There was also a chance that the Grim Winged Serpent directly decided to leave the Sun Secret Realm since there was nothing worth staying in this dangerous place.

In any case, Ace will lose his chance to find a way to appear on the ten continents side, and it was unacceptable.

“Noa, I need you to handle that giant turtle. I’m pretty sure it is hard to miss.” Ace transmitted in his mind while looking at the active house call interface.

“Then what about the snake?” Her cold voice sounded in question.

“Leave him to me. It seems he didn’t want to give up on the Spirit Fire yet, and this is enough for me to make my move. Just make that turtle distract somehow, or our prey will be scared away.” Ace gravely stated.

“Can I kill it? It seemed to have some resemblance to one of the materials I need for my body refinement at the higher grade.” Noa suddenly asked this strange question which made Ace startled for a moment before his lips curled up.

He replied smilingly, “It seems you want to have some fun. Well, as long as you can handle it, you can do as you please. Just don’t overdo it.”

“Understood!” Noa replied as her cold voice contained a hint of elation.

When the Grim Winged Serpent was just thinking about finally giving up on the chase and the turtle was only a hundred meters behind it, something strange happened.

All of a sudden, the meteor-like flame turtle vanished from its spot and appeared a few miles ahead of both Ace and the Grim Winged Serpent and smashed into the ground, creating a massive explosion!

Both Ace and the Grim Winged Serpent were flabbergasted by this sudden turn of events. Even Ace, who had some idea who the person behind this was shocked because this was simply too shocking.

Ace then quickly opened Noa’s status to see the new ability she might have awakened when she entered the Soul Embryo Realm. When he spots that new ability and reads the details, he was gobsmacked.
