Chapter 577 - 576: Sudden Incident
Li Bingshuang is indeed Chen Tianlong’s senior martial sister, and she indeed knows the Soul-Stealing Three Needles, but she is only a beginner practitioner. Moreover, after years in business, her skills have declined to a point where she’s about the same as an average practitioner.
It can be said that besides being adept at the Soul-Stealing Three Needles, she basically has no other strength.
At this moment, the ghostly figure finally appeared. She thought Chen Tianlong couldn’t possibly see her, as in this pitch-black room, no one could see her shadowy figure.
That shadow, was an assassin hired by the Mo Family, and also one of Lao Shangshan’s trump cards.
This person was highly paid and hired from an organization called the Black Alliance, and ranked in the top ten of the Black Alliance experts chart, though the exact ranking was unclear.
Her assassination skills were exceptional, with a mission success rate of nearly a hundred percent, and her movements were unpredictable.
She had helped Lao Shangshan overcome many obstacles, with unparalleled success...
This time, Yu only took two hours to find out the people bullying Young Master Lao, so she tracked them, planning to kill Chen Tianlong. Yet, unexpectedly, on the way, she ran into her companion, a Black Alliance talent selected from the Celestial Wolf Gang’s special training camp, called Xu Dihu.
To her great surprise, this Xu Dihu wasn’t much, and was actually escaped by Chen Tianlong.
In the end, she had to go herself.
At this moment, Yu held a scimitar in her hand, her weapon of choice, and when the scimitar appeared, someone would inevitably die. And Chen Tianlong was evidently her assassination target.
With a cold glance, the sharp scimitar was thrust toward Chen Tianlong....
However, this technique might work on others, but not on Chen Tianlong, as he could see better in the dark than Yu.
Chen Tianlong, carrying Li Bingshuang, dashed to the door and then pushed her out, quickly closing the door.
Li Bingshuang was unexpectedly pushed out of the room by Chen Tianlong, but she wasn’t angry. Instead, she felt there must be something unusual in the room. So she hurriedly got up, put on a coat in the hall, and pressed the alarm.
At this moment, the security and bodyguards in the Li Family Mansion all came rushing.
However, Yu was unfazed by these sounds, as she had a rule: once she accepted a task, she wouldn’t leave unless it was completed.
Currently, the room only had Chen Tianlong and Yu.
And Chen Tianlong no longer hid himself, holding three silver needles in his hand.
"So you’re an assassin!"
Yu, who never spoke during missions, unexpectedly spoke.
Because she realized, the person in front of her could see clearly in the dark, and his stance was very professional, clearly possessing the basic qualities of a professional assassin.
"Haven’t you already figured that out?" Chen Tianlong sneered coldly, as they began to keep a wary eye on each other.
"Hmph, even if you are an assassin, you must die."
"Wait! We’re both in the same business, I don’t want to make it difficult for you, I just want to know whose idea this is." Chen Tianlong asked unhurriedly.
"Haha, since you’re in the same line of work, you should know the rules. Would you tell these things to others? Unless they’re dead." Yu sneered.
"Then consider me a dead man, so you can tell me." Chen Tianlong said.
"...."
Yu was speechless for a moment; for the first time she encountered such a counterpart. If it weren’t for Master Lao’s order, she really didn’t want to confront this person, who seemed fearless and would certainly be troublesome later.
"Alright, since you love killing so much, go ahead." Chen Tianlong said indifferently, spreading his hands.
At that moment, the Soul-Stealing Three Needles in his hand flew out, transforming directly into twenty-seven needles.
Yu widened her eyes, never having imagined this person’s skills were so formidable, and hurriedly dodged. Even with her light and agile skills and strange footwork, she was almost hit like a beehive.
Seeing the person approaching, dodging like lightning, Chen Tianlong’s brows furrowed; this person was indeed an expert.
"Your hidden weapon is good, but it’s too slow for me!"
Just as he finished speaking, Yu’s scimitar was thrown out and suddenly turned into two, flying around the room before returning to her hand.
So she’s an expert with knives!
Chen Tianlong let out a bitter laugh and began employing his Heart Method.
This person’s strength wasn’t very high, on par with his own at Yellow Dao four-star, but her skills were quite heaven-defying.
After a move, Yu surprisingly missed her target, and she was very surprised.
To know, she had never missed a mission, yet this guy was somewhat strange, always dodging at the moment he would get hit.
"I said to a fine young lady like you, why be so cold?" Chen Tianlong could see Yu’s appearance through the veil, very delicate, but her face was quite stiff. Chen Tianlong thought, it was likely from training.
He was also an assassin, and the women in the Assassin Group were all extremely cold. If this woman was really an assassin, she was undoubtedly trained to be this way.
His junior sister Liu Ting used to be the same, but after returning to urban life, she was still a little girl.
"Hmph, mind your own business!" Suddenly, for some reason, Yu couldn’t bring herself to continue as an assassin.
"Oh, then I won’t, but I must tell you one thing: you can’t kill me." Chen Tianlong said with a cold smile, advising, "If you’re smart, run quickly; this is President Ren’s house, surveillance cameras everywhere, and over twenty security guards in the mansion. Are you sure you want to continue?"
Yu frowned; indeed, as Chen Tianlong said, if she didn’t leave now, there really wouldn’t be any time left soon.
Originally, she planned to leave immediately after killing Chen Tianlong, but it turned out this guy was too hard to deal with.
"Hey, you can’t escape." Chen Tianlong suddenly said.
"Why?" Yu asked upon hearing this.
"Because outside is heavily surrounded, and do you really think the Li Family Mansion is so easy to get out of?" Chen Tianlong replied ambiguously.
"Hmph, there’s nowhere I can’t get out of!" Yu obviously didn’t believe it.
"Then go ahead, I’m not seeing you off!" Chen Tianlong directly sat on the bed, waving his hand.
Yu didn’t delay, though when she did missions, she always completed them before leaving. However, this time was different; if she stayed any longer, she’d end up in prison.
She was only nineteen and didn’t want to waste her life in a dark, damp prison.
But when she pulled open the curtain, her brow furrowed instantly as the place was heavily surrounded, and many police officers with guns were present.
Yu thought for a moment and turned back around.
"Huh? Why didn’t you leave? If not, stay here and sleep with me." Chen Tianlong mischievously smiled, knowing this woman wasn’t much of a threat to him.
Her blade was fast, but Chen Tianlong wasn’t afraid of fast, because his wasn’t slow either. As for strength, both were Yellow Dao four-star, so there was nothing much to worry about.
"You... say another word, and I’ll kill you." Yu gritted her teeth and said.
"Aima, scared the baby to death." Chen Tianlong lay proudly on the bed.
"...."
Seeing Chen Tianlong’s brazen expression, Yu really wanted to rush over and kick him a few times. But now she could hardly protect herself and had no spare time to argue with him.
"If you want to get out safely, do as I say!"
"Ah?"
Upon hearing this, Yu was stunned.
