In his view, even if the opponent was a Martial Arts expert, they would have no way to withstand such a sudden and fierce strike!
As long as this strike succeeded, the opponent would completely lose all their combat ability!
At this moment, the corner of his mouth curved up into a cruel and pleased smile, just one strike and three billion would be in hand—it was quite easy money!
Of course, to earn this money so easily, one had to have the capability, and he was ranked fourth on the Black List!
He usually couldn't be bothered with tasks that offered less than five hundred million in commission—it just didn't match his status!
Just as he thought his blade was about to slice through the opponent's clothes and pierce their skin, the figure in front of him suddenly side-stepped, barely avoiding his lethal blow!
"How is that possible?"
The Assassin's heart trembled, he quickly swung the blade to the side, changing from a stab to a slash, and the speed was not slower than before, as a gust of blade wind swept up!
The robust True Yuan circulated on top of the blade wind, emitting a "hiss" sound as it moved through the air.
His reaction was fast enough, as he immediately changed tactics the instant he realized something was amiss!
But as swift as he was, someone was faster. Just as his blade had swung halfway, a large hand seemingly appeared out of nowhere, reaching straight for his wrist!
Seeing this, the Assassin was taken aback—this guy was too audacious, wasn't he? His wrist was in the midst of a rapid swing, ghost-like in its speed; could he really be caught?
However, the next moment, he got his answer as his wrist was indeed seized!
The Assassin was suddenly terrified; this fellow had dodged his deadly strike and now had even grasped his swiftly moving wrist.
How did he do it? Who was he, anyway?
But at this time, it clearly wasn't the time to be considering these questions. After his wrist was caught, he immediately channeled the robust True Yuan inside his body to his wrist and then suddenly exerted strength, attempting to shake off the large hand gripping him!
However, the other person's hand seemed to be embedded in his wrist, not moving in the slightest!
"Is this the extent of your ability, and you wanted to kill me?"
Su Chen sneered coldly, then slightly exerted force, and a sound of bones breaking was heard!
The Assassin immediately felt a surge of intense pain. Not only was the bone in his wrist fractured, but his entire arm was now broken!
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and due to the severe pain, his features twisted into a ferocious expression.
Enduring the pain, he moved closer to Su Chen, his movements sharp and agile like a crafty rabbit. At the same time, his knee shot up fiercely, aiming a blow at Su Chen's midsection.
"Overestimating yourself!"
Su Chen moved slightly to the side and avoided the attack, simultaneously releasing the grip on the opponent's wrist, his fingers shaped into claws, aiming for the Assassin's throat!
The man, failing in another attack and seeing a large hand going for his throat, grew panicked and quickly attempted to block with both hands.
However, he suddenly remembered that one of his arms was already disabled, leaving him no choice but to use one hand to block while his body retreated swiftly, like a gust of wind.
He retreated seven or eight meters in an instant, but before he could heave a sigh of relief, he realized that the large hand was still in front of him, as if he hadn't moved back at all!
Moreover, he saw a strange smile form on the lips of the hand's owner, causing his heart to tremble fiercely!
Just then, a slicing sound rang out again in the stillness of the night behind Su Chen, and three Five-Star Darts glowed with a cold light as they flew through the air towards Su Chen.
The Assassin, evading Su Chen's hand, saw this and suddenly felt a surge of elation, thinking he had been saved!
If Su Chen hadn't noticed those three Five-Star Darts, without a doubt, he would have died before even grabbing the Assassin's throat.
Those three Five-Star Darts were no joke—each one was dipped in deadly poison, ensuring death upon drawing blood!
Of course, that would be the best outcome!
But even if he had discovered those three Five-Star Darts, he would have had no choice but to dodge. That way, I would still be saved.
Su Chen seemed to know what the other was thinking and let out a cold laugh. The hand reaching for the opponent's throat did not slow down, while his other hand swung backward!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
The sound of the air being split rang out as three streaks of silver light sparkled in the night sky. Immediately afterward, the sound of metal colliding rang out, and three Five-Star Darts and three Silver Needles fell to the ground.
The assassin who had thought he was saved suddenly widened his eyes. What in the world was going on?
But he had no time to think anymore, for Su Chen's hand had already grasped his throat!
His face instantly turned the color of a pig's liver; he struggled to breathe, his face filled with fear.
This guy was too terrifying!
Who exactly was this man they were trying to kill?
After Su Chen had gripped the man's throat, he remained expressionless, as if nothing had happened at all.
He looked towards the bushes on the other side and said in a deep voice,
"Come out. Do you think it's still necessary to hide now?"
No sooner had he spoken than a man stood up from the bushes. He had black hair but blue eyes, a tall stature, roughly 1.9 meters.
Both in appearance and in height, he closely resembled the man whose throat Su Chen was clutching!
"Exactly who are you?"
The man emerged from the bushes and walked to the middle of the road.
His expression was laden with seriousness. He knew that today, they had bitten off more than they could chew—their opponent's martial prowess had said it all!
In his mind, they should have seen or at least heard of someone with such skills. That's why he had asked that question.
"Who I am is not for you, the Ghost Shadows, to know!"
A disdainful sneer appeared at the corner of Su Chen's mouth as he spoke.
At these words, the man who had just emerged, including the one whose neck was clutched by Su Chen, shook violently!
The fact that the other party knew who they were meant that he was very likely to be a person from the Dark World as well!
Damn it, they had done their research beforehand, hadn't they? They hadn't found anything special about him!
If it weren't for the information provided by the employer saying that he had once killed an expert of the Qi Refinement Eighth Layer, they would have thought he was just an ordinary person!
"Sir, it seems we have misjudged today."
The assassin who had just come out spoke calmly:
"How about this? Let my brother go, and we will leave immediately. What do you say?"
Su Chen laughed as if he had heard a joke. Then his face darkened:
"You want to kill me, and now you ask me to let you go. Do you think that's possible?"
