Lionel Yeager squinted his eyes and sloppily flopped onto his bed, pretending to be asleep.
The window of the room was quietly opened, a figure jumped in, landing steadily within the room without making the slightest sound.
If not for Lionel’s sufficiently powerful perception, he might not have realized someone had entered.
The person walked towards the bedside after entering the room.
As he came closer, in an instant!
He flicked his wrist and a sharp blade appeared in his hand, thrusting towards Lionel’s heart!
But, just at the instant when the blade thrust downwards!
Lionel raised his right hand and harshly slapped outwards!
Accompanied by a crisp sound of metal clashing against stone, the man was shocked into stumbling backwards several steps before he stabilized himself!
"Damn, I faced an assassination attempt just a few hours ago!
I can’t believe I’m facing another assassination attempt now. Isn’t there any end to this tonight!"
Lionel muttered angrily as he rolled off the bed, fixed his gaze on the man across from him.
I see, that man’s height was not tall, about only 1.65 meters.
He was dressed in a black stealth suit, his face covered with a black mask, tightly wrapped around him, revealing only a pair of eyes.
It’s unclear whether he’s male or female.
Seeing the failed assassination attempt, the black-clothed person did not hesitate at all, turning around and jumping out of the window.
"Where do you think you’re going!"
Lionel shouted, following him out of the window, pursuing him.
After jumping out of the window, Lionel’s figure flashed, like a bolt of lightning, chasing after the black-clothed person!
After getting close, in an instant!
Lionel raised his right hand and slapped towards the black-clothed person’s back!
The black-clothed person’s reaction was also very quick, he took a forward dive, avoiding Lionel’s slap!
Immediately after, the black-clothed person flipped and jumped up, tightly gripping a sharp blade in his hand, staring intently at Lionel, his eyes full of caution!
Are you a ninja from Sakura Country?"
Lionel recognized the weapon the black-clothed person was holding was the Kuna commonly used by ninjas, with just a glance.
The Kuna is similar to a dagger, with a small size, about the size of an adult’s palm, easy to carry and hide.
Seeing that the black-clothed person didn’t respond, Lionel asked, "Did you also receive the bounty from the dark web and have come to assassinate me?"
The black-clothed person still remained silent.
Lionel sighed and said, "Isn’t it just 30 million US dollars? Is it worth you guys running in one by one to court death?
A week ago, a chap named Andrew came to kill me, and I killed him.
A few hours ago, a guy called Black Panther came to kill me, I killed him as well.
Now you’ve come to kill me, don’t you assassins have other tasks or are you all just targeting me?"
Hearing Lionel’s words, the black-clothed person’s pupils shrank slightly, and a look of shock surfaced in his eyes.
Lionel looked up and down at the black-clothed person and said, "Although you have Innate Great Perfection Cultivation, you stand no chance against me.
I have already killed one person tonight and don’t want to continue.
Aren’t you Sakura Country martial artists skilled at committing seppuku?
So, I advise you to end your own life, to save yourself from further suffering."
This clearly infuriated the black-clothed person. He moved instantly, heading straight towards Lionel!
"Why insist on bringing trouble upon yourself?"
Lionel shook his head, then he took a step forward, heading straight into battle!
The black-clothed person was fast. In a blink of an eye, he breezed over a distance of more than ten meters and raised the Kuna in his hand, striking towards Lionel’s throat!
Fast, accurate, and ruthless!
Just at the instant when the Kuna was about to strike!
Lionel raised his right hand and used his index finger and middle finger to catch the incoming Kuna!
Seeing Lionel Yeager catch his Kuna with just his fingers, a stronger shock washed over the man in black!
Before the man in black could react, Lionel’s right hand quickly crossed his index and middle fingers!
A "snap", the Kuna was directly snapped into two pieces!
Then, Lionel converted his right hand into a palm and struck towards the man’s chest!
While Lionel’s palm strike seemed ordinary, it was swift and fierce, causing a series of explosive sounds to echo through the air!
The eyes of the man in black widened in shock, as he attempted to dodge. But still, he could not escape Lionel’s palm strike!
With a muffled "thud", Lionel’s palm strike landed squarely on the man’s left shoulder, breaking his arm and sending him flying ten meters away!
After knocking the man away, Lionel didn’t pause and began to approach the man in black.
The man in black quickly rolled to his feet, waving his right hand!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A series of Ninja Darts came whistling towards him!
Shivering, Lionel expanded his Golden True Qi Shield instantly!
The Ninja Darts continuously struck the shield, eliciting clear sound of impact and sparking a series of sparks!
Upon seeing this, a look of horror surfaced in the eyes of the man in black. Without any hesitation, he turned and leapt out of the courtyard, fleeing into the distance!
"Don’t even think about escaping!"
With a shout, Lionel started chasing him.
After a while, the two arrived at an artificial lake in the Divine River Villa District.
The artificial lake was large, with many fake mountains in the middle, surrounded by lush trees.
Upon reaching this point, Lionel had caught up with the man in black.
Seeing that he could not escape, the man in black took out a Ninja Sword from behind him and charged at Lionel!
"What? Ready to fight to death?"
Lionel sneered coldly, took a step forward, and again engaged in battle!
In the blink of an eye!
The distance between the two shrunk!
The man in black swung his sword at Lionel with all his might!
Lionel didn’t dodge, he summoned his True Qi, and converted his right palm into a Golden Palm Sword and struck out!
The Ninja Sword the man in black swung out clashed heavily with the Golden Palm Sword Lionel swung out, creating sparks like two swords colliding!
Lionel’s palm strike was so powerful, it sent the man in black retreating again and again!
Before the man in black could regain his footing, Lionel sprang forward, launching an attack!
Seeing Lionel charging at him, the man in black, in his panic, swung his Ninja Sword at Lionel!
Lionel struck out another palm to meet the attack!
With a clear sound of impact, the Ninja Sword was knocked flying by Lionel, and with a "dang" noise, it landed on a fake mountain in the middle of the artificial lake!
After knocking the Ninja Sword away, Lionel struck another palm toward the man’s chest!
A cloud of pink smoke rose into the air!
Lionel’s palm strike went right through the smoke, creating a loud boom!
When the smoke had dissipated, the man in black was gone, like he had vanished into thin air!
Lionel looked curious. "Your Sakura Country Ninja Ninjutsu is interesting indeed, allowing you to disappear out of thin air.
But I wonder if you truly disappeared or just faked it."
Frowning slightly, Lionel quickly sensed something, a small smirk appearing at the corner of his mouth. In an instant, he turned around, his right hand snapping out like a claw to grab something soft behind him!
A scream suddenly rang out.
