Chapter 558 - Shadow Assassin
Chapter 558 Shadow Assassin
Gu Yuqing smiled and said, “You are already a dead person. Why are you still asking so many questions? Whether it is the will of the Han family or the will of the young master, you will definitely die today.”
Ling Cuicui said, “If you really want to ask, go to hell to ask Yama!”
After that, they jumped up in the air with a great tacit understanding. The long swords in their hands, one on the left and one on the right, turned into two silver lights that chopped down toward Ye Qing.
“You’re courting death!”
With a flip of her wrist, Ye Qing drew out a soft sword from her waist and chopped back.
“Ding… Ding… Ding… Ding…”
Her soft sword collided with the double swords, making a clear sound of metal clashing. Then her opponents were sent flying backward.
Although Ye Qing had just broken through, she was much more powerful than a person at the sixth level. If it weren’t for the fact that the Laoshan Mountain Double Swordsmen were good at joint attacks, they would have already died or suffered injuries.
Gu Yuqing and Ling Cuicui took a few steps back, and their faces were full of horror. Originally, they thought that they would work together to kill Ye Qing. This was a safe situation, but they didn’t expect this to happen.
Gu Yuqing cried in horror, “Seventh level of the supreme power, when did you break through?”
There vast difference between the sixth-level and the seventh-level supreme power realms. Some people couldn’t break through for the rest of their lives, and the couple had remained stagnant in that level for seven or eight years.
He didn’t expect that Ye Qing would be so talented, to have broken through this threshold at an age below 30 years old.
“Do you want to know? Go to hell and ask Yama.”
Ye Qing was vindictive. If someone punched her, she would strike back. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be known as a witch in the capital.
Since they came to kill her, she would not hesitate. The soft sword in her hand turned into a sword light that shone all over the sky and shrouded the couple.
Although it was one versus two, she still had the upper hand. As her cultivation became more and more stable, she was able to handle the strength of the seventh level more proficiently.
The Swordsmen couple was suffering, struggling even while using joint attacks. Although they could hold on for a while, they had no hope of winning, and no chance to escape.
They fought so fiercely that Qin Haodong was forgotten. Although Ye Qing knew that Qin Haodong was a cultivator, she never thought that he could be stronger than her. She didn’t even think that Qin Haodong would help her.
It was the first time that the couple saw Qin Haodong, and they didn’t feel any warrior’s force from him. They thought he was just an ordinary driver, and they didn’t care about him at all.
Qin Haodong behaved like an ordinary person. He collected all the Genuine Qi in his body and hid behind a stone. His face was full of fear, and his body was even trembling.
Although he had just rushed out of the car with Ye Qing in his arms, their attackers had thought it was all Ye Qing’s doing.
He didn’t help Ye Qing because his powerful Spirit sensed that there was an extremely massive power spying on them.
Since someone wanted to kill Ye Qing, he would not only send two sixth-level supreme power masters. If that were the case, even if Ye Qing hadn’t broken through to the seventh-level supreme power realm, it would be easy for the Laoshan Mountain Swordsmen to hurt her, but it would be difficult to kill her. It might even be impossible.
So he guessed that there had to be a hidden trick, and this kind of powerful feeling confirmed his guess. Everything in front of him was a death trap carefully arranged by the other side. First, the Laoshan Mountain Swordsmen trapped Ye Qing, and then the third one would strike the fatal blow.
Although Ye Qing was unexpectedly a seventh level supreme power master, it didn’t affect the assassination plan.
He had restrained his cultivation and pretended to be an ordinary man in order to deceive the person hiding in the dark. According to his intuition, this person’s cultivation was at least at the seventh level of the supreme power realm. If he directly confronted the person at the moment, he would not be able to win against him.
As a matter of fact, this strategy was still very effective. The hidden master merely glanced at him and shifted all his attention to Ye Qing and the other two.
Ye Qing’s Spirit was not as powerful as Qin Haodong’s, so she didn’t notice the hidden enemy. She used all her strength to wield the soft sword in her hand. The Laoshan Mountain Swordsmen were tired and injured, and there were a lot of blood stains on their bodies.
After another few minutes of fighting, Ye Qing knocked Gu Yuqing away with one palm and fought against Ling Cuicui’s long sword.
Ling Cuicui’s cultivation was not as high as hers. In a head-on confrontation, her long sword was swung high into the air and she had no weapon to defend herself. The soft sword in Ye Qing’s hand stabbed straight into her throat.
Gu Yuqing, who was far away, let out an angry roar, but it was too late for him to help. Ye Qing’s soft sword had pierced Ling Cuicui’s neck.
Any person who was stabbed in the throat would die without a doubt. Ye Qing had no doubt that she could kill Ling Cuicui, so at this moment, her mentality relaxed a little.
The person hiding in the dark was waiting for this moment. He didn’t rescue Ling Cuicui at the critical moment. He wanted to use Ling Cuicui’s death in exchange for an excellent opportunity to kill Ye Qing with one stroke.
At the moment Ling Cuicui fell down, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind Ye Qing. The long sword in his hand was like a poisonous snake, stabbing fiercely toward the center of Ye Qing’s back.
“The Shadow Assassin, Xu Qingji!”
When Ye Qing noticed the danger, she immediately guessed who was coming. The shadow assassin of the Han family in the capital, Xu Qingji, had reached the seventh level of the supreme power realm. He was even more vicious, which made people’s faces turn pale when they heard of him. Ye Qing didn’t expect that in order to kill her, Han Zaixing had even sent him on this mission.
Although she understood everything, it was too late. Xu Qingji’s sword came too fast, and it came silently. In the blink of an eye, it had reached her back. The only thing she could do was to desperately move her body, trying to protect her vitals.
Seeing that he was going to succeed, Xu Qingji’s face showed a hint of contempt. He had been watching in the darkness for a long time and used the death of his companions in exchange for an opportunity to kill her. Everything seemed to have taken place according to his calculations.
In the past, he had relied on this thoughtful idea to assassinate his enemies. Many masters with even higher cultivations had also been killed by his sword.
It was a pity that he missed a person today, Qin Haodong, who was shivering behind the stone. He never thought about the oriole lurking around.
Qin Haodong disguised himself for a long time, waiting for this opportunity. In terms of assassination skills, the flying sword was the best. At this time, the Xuan Yuan Sword had silently floated behind Xu Qingji’s head.
When the sword in Xu Qingji’s hand was about to pierce Ye Qing’s skin, the Xuan Yuan Sword went through the back of his head.
Ye Qing felt the pain on her back and thought that she was doomed. But when she closed her eyes, Xu Qingji’s long sword fell to the ground, and then with a splat, he also fell to the ground.She looked back at Xu Qingji, only to see a big hole in the back of his head. He was dead. Qin Haodong was standing next to him with a golden sword in his hand.
Gu Yuqing was about to rush over with the long sword in his hand. When he saw that Xu Qingji and Ling Cuicui had already died, he was so scared that he chose to run away.
Ye Qing had just been near the gates of hell. At this time, her killing intent was very strong. How could she let him escape? The soft sword in her hand turned into a silver light and shot out, instantly piercing through Gu Yuqing’s chest.
She pulled back her soft sword and kicked away Gu Yuqing’s body. She looked back at Qin Haodong and said, “Brother, I still looked down on you. I didn’t expect you to save me twice so soon.”
Qin Haodong smiled and said, “It was just a trick!”
Ye Qing kicked Xu Qingji’s body to turn him over. After confirming his identity, she said, “Do you know who he is? He is the famous shadow assassin from the capital, Xu Qingji, who has killed countless people. Many well-known masters have been killed by him, and his cultivation was at the seventh level of the supreme power realm.
“How could such a ruthless man die by your sword today? How did you do that?”
Qin Haodong said, “With a sneak attack, of course. I would have died if I had fought him head on. When he made his killing move, I attacked him. Fortunately, my speed was faster than his, otherwise, you would have been injured.”
Ye Qing took a look at Qin Haodong and increasingly felt that he was an immeasurably deep man. If Xu Qingji could be attacked by others at will, he would have died 10,000 times.
However, everyone had their own secrets, and she didn’t want to ask too clearly. She said, “I was injured, in fact. My back has been stabbed. Please help me treat it. Don’t leave any scars.”
Then she turned around. Qin Haodong’s vision was so good that he could see the things in front of him clearly with the moonlight in the sky.
Just then, Xu Qingji’s long sword had pierced Ye Qing’s skin; it left a gash when it fell. Fortunately, the wound was not deep; the treatment would be easy.
He took out medicine and applied it on Ye Qing’s wound. Soon after, it stopped bleeding and began to form scabs.
Ye Qing felt a chill on her back, and then the pain disappeared. She couldn’t help but say, “Your medical skills are really good. You deserve to be the Medical Sage.”
“Of course, if it comes to medical skills, I dare to take the first place in the world.”
Qin Haodong had absolute confidence in his medical skills. In terms of martial cultivation, he was not so powerful at the moment, but his medical skills were absolutely unparalleled.
Ye Qing moved slightly, and she felt no pain on her back. She said, “Will there be a scar left? If I have a scar, I won’t be able to wear the suspended-belt skirt anymore.”
Qin Haodong shook his head. She was really strange; beauty was still on her mind even after such an ordeal.
“Don’t worry. With such a small injury, if there is a scar, then my reputation as the Medical Sage will be ruined.”
Ye Qing turned around and said with a smile, “If there’s a scar and I can’t get married, you will have to take responsibility.”
“Uh…”
Qin Haodong was speechless. If that were the case, it was a huge responsibility to be a doctor.
Ye Qing took his arm and moved closer to the off-road vehicle that had been cut in half. She sighed and said, “These bastards destroyed our car. How can we go back?”
Qin Haodong said, “We can only find another car.”
Shanghai was already hundreds of kilometers away. It would be an awful waste of time to have someone bring another vehicle.
Ye Qing said, “But we’re in the wilderness. Where can we find a car?”
“Leave it to me. I have a way.”
Qin Haodong walked to the side of the road. Although cars often passed by, it was too desolate and no one stopped.
He took out a stack of notes from his pocket, he raised his hand and sprinkled them on the road. The bills covered the road, and then he pulled Ye Qing to hide behind a tree.
At this time, a Passat drove over. When the middle-aged driver saw the money on the road, he immediately hit the brakes and stopped at the side of the road. He jumped out of the car and picked up a few notes. After confirming that it was real money, he smiled happily and continued picking them up.
While he was happily picking up the money, there was a sudden engine roar behind him. Qin Haodong and Ye Qing had already grabbed his Passat.
The middle-aged driver suddenly panicked. He chased after the car and shouted, “My car, give me back my car now!”
“I’ll buy your car!”
The car window opened and two thick bundles of money were thrown out. He picked them up and found that they were real; 200,000 yuan in total.
