Chapter 582 - 581: You
Li Bingshuang is indeed Chen Tianlong’s senior sister, and she does know the Soul-Stealing Three Needles, but she is merely a novice practitioner. After years of doing business, her cultivation level has dropped significantly, almost comparable to that of an ordinary martial artist.
In other words, apart from being skilled in the Soul-Stealing Three Needles, she basically has no other abilities.
At this moment, that ghostly figure finally appeared. She thought Chen Tianlong couldn’t possibly see her; after all, in this dark room, no one could see her shadowy figure.
Yōu is an assassin hired by the Mo Family, and also a trump card of Lao Shangshan.
This person was hired at a high salary from an organization called the Black Alliance. Although her exact ranking is unclear, she is in the top ten of the Black Alliance’s list of experts.
Her assassination skills are unmatched, with a near-hundred percent success rate in her missions and mysterious movements.
She had helped Lao Shangshan eliminate many obstacles in the past, with an unstoppable force.
This time, Yōu had only taken two hours to gather information about the person troubling Young Master Lao, so she followed along, planning to eliminate Chen Tianlong. But unexpectedly, she encountered her companion on the road. That person was Xu Dihu, a distinguished talent picked from the Celestial Wolf Gang’s special training camp and elevated to the Black Alliance.
To her surprise, Xu Dihu also failed to perform, allowing Chen Tianlong to escape.
Ultimately, she had to take matters into her own hands.
At this moment, Yōu held a curved knife in her hand, her most proficient weapon. Once the curved knife is drawn, someone is bound to die. And Chen Tianlong was evidently her assassination target.
With a cold glance, the sharp knife stabbed towards Chen Tianlong....
However, this technique may work on others, but not on Chen Tianlong, because he sees better in the dark than Yōu does.
Chen Tianlong, carrying Li Bingshuang, swiftly moved to the room’s entrance, pushed her outside, and then closed the door.
Li Bingshuang was unexpectedly pushed out by Chen Tianlong, yet she wasn’t angry; rather, she felt something was amiss in the room. So she hurriedly got up, threw on a coat in the hall, and sounded the alarm.
At this moment, the security guards and bodyguards from the Li Family Mansion rushed in.
However, Yōu remained unfazed by the sounds; she had a rule that promised tasks, if not completed, would not be abandoned.
Now, only Chen Tianlong and Yōu remained in the room.
And Chen Tianlong no longer concealed himself, revealing three silver needles in his hand.
"So, you are an assassin!"
Yōu, who never spoke during missions, actually spoke up.
Because she realized the man in front of her could also see in the dark, and his stance was that of a seasoned professional, a trait of a professional assassin.
"Haven’t you already figured that out?" Chen Tianlong smirked, and both of them started to watch each other warily.
"Hmph, even if you’re an assassin, you must die."
"Wait a moment! We’re both in the same line of work. I don’t want to make things difficult for you; I just want to know, who came up with this idea?" Chen Tianlong asked unhurriedly.
"Heh, since you’re in the same profession, you should know the rules of the trade; would you disclose such information to others? Unless they’re dead." Yōu sneered.
"Then you can consider me dead, that way you can tell me." Chen Tianlong said.
"...."
Yōu was speechless for a moment, encountering this kind of peer for the first time. If it weren’t for Master Lao’s orders, she really didn’t want to confront this person who showed no fear of death, which would surely be troublesome later.
"Alright then, since you seem to like killing, go ahead." Chen Tianlong shrugged his hands indifferently.
Just at that moment, the Soul-Stealing Three Needles in his hand flew out, instantly transforming into twenty-seven needles.
Yōu’s eyes widened. She never expected this person’s move to be so formidable, and she hurriedly dodged it. Although she was agile and nimble-footed with a strange sequence of steps.
Otherwise, she’d certainly be no different than a hornet’s nest.
Seeing the incoming opponent dodge like lightning, Chen Tianlong furrowed his brows slightly, realizing she was indeed a formidable expert.
"Your hidden weapon is impressive, but to me, it’s too slow!"
As he finished speaking, Yōu’s curved knife flew out, abruptly transforming into two weapons. After flying a round inside the room, it returned to Yōu’s hand.
Turns out, she’s a master of knife play!
Chen Tianlong cracked a bitter smile and began to employ the Heart Method.
This person’s strength isn’t particularly strong, same as me at Yellow Dao four stars, but her skills are certainly heaven-defying.
After Yōu’s move, she didn’t manage to hit her target, which surprised her.
To think, despite all the missions she’s undertaken without a single failure, this kid is peculiar, always dodging just when about to be hit.
"I say, you’re such a cold young lady, why keep up the icy facade?" Chen Tianlong had already seen Yōu’s appearance through the veil; very delicate, just slightly stiff-faced, which Chen Tianlong thought was likely the result of training.
He was an assassin too, among the Assassin Group’s women, all of them exceedingly cold, and this woman, if truly an assassin, was no doubt trained to be so.
His junior sister, Liu Ting, was the same, but after returning to urban life, she became just like an ordinary young girl.
"Hmph, none of your business!" For some reason, Yōu suddenly couldn’t bring herself to kill anymore.
"Oh, then I won’t meddle, but I have to tell you something. You can’t kill me." Chen Tianlong chuckled coldly and advised, "If you’re wise, leave quickly. This is President Ren’s place, full of cameras everywhere, over twenty security guards in the mansion grounds. Are you sure you want to continue?"
Yōu frowned. Indeed, as Chen Tianlong said, if she didn’t leave now, she might truly run out of time later.
Originally, she planned to eliminate Chen Tianlong right after and leave immediately, unexpectedly, this guy was too troublesome.
"Hey, you can’t escape." Chen Tianlong suddenly said.
"Why?" Yōu asked unexpectedly upon hearing this.
"Because the outside is heavily surrounded, and you think the Li Family Mansion is that easy to exit?" Chen Tianlong spoke ambiguously.
"Hmph, there’s no place I can’t escape from." Yōu clearly didn’t believe.
"Then suit yourself, I’m not seeing you out!" Chen Tianlong directly sat on the bed, then waved his hand.
Yōu didn’t delay, although she always finished her tasks before leaving, this time was different. If she stayed longer, she might end up in prison.
She’s only nineteen; she didn’t want to waste a good life in a dark, damp prison.
However, when she pulled the curtain aside, she frowned; the outside was already heavily surrounded, and many policemen with guns had arrived.
Yōu thought for a moment and turned back directly.
"Huh? Why didn’t you leave? If not, stay here and sleep together." Chen Tianlong gave a mischievous smile, knowing the woman posed little threat to him.
Her flying knife was fast, but speed was what Chen Tianlong feared least because his wasn’t slow either. As for strength, both were at Yellow Dao four stars; there wasn’t much to worry about.
"You... say another word, and I’ll kill you." Yōu gritted her teeth and said.
"Oh dear, I’m so scared." Chen Tianlong lay proudly on the bed.
"...."
Seeing Chen Tianlong’s impudent expression, Yōu really wanted to run over and stomp him fiercely, but now she was already in trouble herself and had no time to bicker with him frivolously.
"If you want to get out safely, do as I say!"
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this, Yōu was suddenly taken aback.
