Chapter 1437: Pathetic Dungeon. Planning a Jailbreak
Yun Jian had made her move so fast that one did not even have the chance to react.
Martial King was someone skilled. He was so good that even Yun Jian had to keep her guard up.
While the fight between Yun Jian and Martial King seemed to last only around ten seconds to the outsiders, the experts involved had already changed more than dozens of strategies within the short time.
Each exchange was lethal when experts fought!
When Yun Jian exposed her own flaw, Martial King obviously thought that she was capable but was too young, so he had not been too alert since the start. He was an a.s.sa.s.sin and he should not have been so careless.
It was just that Yun Jian had guessed it earlier, especially from what Martial King said himself. He said that she was the only one who dared challenge him throughout these years. This meant that he had been the dungeon boss for a long time and had not met a rival during that time.
Perhaps Martial King was overwhelmingly powerful in the past. Yun Jian had never met him but she had heard of his name.
He was ranked the tenth on the international a.s.sa.s.sin chart but his ability could rival the person ranked the fourth on the same chart. It was just his ranking that was behind.
Martial King was intimidating in the past but spending so many years in the dungeon cell, he had gradually lost his edge when he no longer lived in the cruel world he was used to.
With what he had said, he was numbed into the thought that no one could compare to him when he did not have a worthy opponent for so long.

This was the key point to Yun Jian defeating him in one move. She could read him.
If one’s opponent was too weak, one would eventually relax and think that they themselves were good enough, ceasing to work hard or fight for something. One would fail to recognize that they were only a frog at the bottom of the well—staying on the same spot, while others worked their way to the top.
Putting it into a picture, take for example a sports meet in school. If the other runners in one’s race were too weak, the group’s timing would be quite low. One might feel triumphant but one would lack very much behind compared to other groups.
Yun Jian had understood this theory a long time ago, so she had never wished for a weak opponent. She even went to dangerous places to challenge herself because only through grinding and living life flirting with death would one become the ultimate ace!
How Yun Jian had killed Martial King, to the outsiders, looked like it was one easy move, so they were stunned. Sis Black who accused Yun Jian of causing them troubles looked terribly appalled. The others who had been sitting around the cell to watch the drama unfold all stood up.
Martial King had been king in the dungeon for so long and had never met a rival all these years that the other captives were already numbed, a.s.suming that no one would be able to kill him in this lifetime.
No one expected that the person who would kill Martial King was here—and she was only an underage girl!
All of them were stupefied.
“Yun… Yun Jian…” Yu Shaoluo gulped and took some time to stammer out Yun Jian’s name but was unable to say more.
Although Ge Junjian knew about Yun Jian’s ident.i.ty a long time ago, he had still felt his heart lurch when she rushed up to Martial King. It was only when he saw her being safe now that he was relieved.
Yun Jian then went to Ge Junjian and others, wiping the blood off her b.u.t.terfly knife and keeping it, to stand before them and tell them openly, “Alright, I can leave now.”
“Leave? Where to?” Yu Shaoluo was confused and was the first to react to it.
Yun Jian had already gone to the door of the dungeon cell then.
“Y-Yun Jian… are you trying to escape from here?” Yu Shaoluo gasped.
The others in the dungeon looked over to them only to see Yun Jian smirk and reply, “Can’t I? Do you really think this small, pathetic dungeon could trap me?”
