Chapter 136 The Killer's Soul Snatcher
A pale green light flickered on the triangular bayonet.
"Boom!"
The two energies collided and exploded instantly, creating a gust of wind that swept outwards.
Seeing that he had taken a punch, Lie Yunhu's face lit up with a fierce fighting spirit, and he threw another punch.
The shadowy figure sensed that terrifying and domineering fist energy rushing towards it once again.
The person's entire body drew a strange arc in mid-air.
He narrowly avoided the impact of the punch, then performed three backflips and dodged into the shadows on one side.
"Hmm, not bad skills. No wonder you're ranked twelfth on the international assassin list, Soul Reaper."
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Didn't you want to kill me? What's the meaning of hiding here?"
As Lie Yunhu spoke, he stared intently at the shadows to one side.
"Lie Yunhu, although those two punches were powerful, I can sense that you lack stamina. It seems the rumors are true; your injuries are indeed quite serious."
Soul Hook was completely shrouded in black combat gear, with only his eyes showing, which were fixed on Fierce Cloud Tiger.
He glanced at Ye Chen, who looked harmless to the side, and said coldly, "If he hadn't exposed my whereabouts just now, you would probably be dead after that stab."
Ye Chen raised his hand and said, "I was just passing by and buying soy sauce. I was just being nosy. Besides, your footsteps were so loud, it would have been hard for me not to hear you."
Gouhun looked at Ye Chen warily and said coldly, "You were able to find my trail from so far away, so I'm afraid your identity is not simple. If you don't get involved in this mess, I can give you half of the commission."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen smiled and said, "You are very generous, but I'm afraid you'll kill me to cover it up, and I'll end up losing both my money and my life."
"I'm a kind person, and out of respect for your generosity, I'll give you some advice: you can survive if you leave now."
"Otherwise, not only will you fail to kill Lie Yunhu today, but you yourself will likely perish here."
Ye Chen's words were calm, yet they gave people a sense of control over everything.
Soul Hook was wary, but sneered, "Arrogant! Since you dare to be so arrogant in front of me, you've already met your end."
The moment the words left his mouth, Gouhun vanished into the shadows, an invisible killing intent lingering around him.
Lie Yunhu narrowed his eyes slightly, his whole body trembling as he entered a state of alert.
In this posture, he can sense any attack coming from any direction immediately.
"You want to kill me? You can't kill me by hiding your face."
Suddenly sensing something, Lie Yunhu's true energy surged. Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly felt his body go limp and collapsed onto the hospital bed.
Lie Yunhu was startled. He turned his head and saw a silver needle fixed above his dantian, sealing his true essence. It was Ye Chen who made the move.
Sensing the surprised look in Lie Yunhu's eyes, Ye Chen said calmly, "If you don't want to suddenly die, don't use your true essence anymore. I'm here. It's just a small soul-reaping thing; I can handle it."
As Ye Chen's figure disappeared from the spot, Lie Yunhu's pupils shrank slightly, and in an instant he lost all sense of Ye Chen's aura.
How could this be? You must know that although his true energy was sealed, his perception and mental strength were not affected.
Therefore, it could barely sense a trace of the Soul-Hooking Aura, but at this moment, Ye Chen seemed to have vanished into thin air, and no trace of his aura could be detected.
Sensing Ye Chen's aura disappear, the Soul Hook in the shadows was startled. Without hesitation, it charged directly at the incapacitated Lie Yunhu.
"Today, you will definitely die!"
The moment the words "soul-capturing" fell, his triangular military dagger was already less than a meter away from Lie Yunhu.
At that distance, it would only take less than a second for Gouhun to deliver a chilling and exhilarating blow to Lieyunhu.
At this moment, Lie Yunhu's true essence was sealed, and he was unable to move.
He could only watch helplessly as the triangular bayonet approached his chest.
Just then, a flash of silver light appeared, and Gouhun felt a numbness in his wrist.
The triangular military dagger slipped from his hand, but fortunately, Soul Hook reacted quickly, turning around and catching the dagger with his left hand, then thrusting it straight behind him.
With a "ding," Ye Chen was standing right behind Gou Hun.
The three-edged military dagger that had been used to pierce Ye Chen's sleeve was blocked by something.
Ye Chen flicked his hand, and a terrifying killing intent surged out. Gouhun felt as if mountains of corpses and seas of blood were rushing towards him.
Startled, he suddenly dodged and quickly created distance.
Ye Chen stood calmly by the window, the Fish Intestine Sword in his hand radiating a chilling killing intent.
"What an astonishing killing intent! How many people did you kill to cultivate this sword?"
Feeling the palpable killing intent emanating from the Fish Intestine Sword, Lie Yunhu asked in surprise.
Ye Chen did not answer, but disappeared again. This time, he only felt a killing intent locking onto him.
Without the slightest hesitation, the Soul Reaper disappeared into the shadows, and then the entire hall fell into an eerie silence.
Lie Yunhu could hear his own heartbeat when suddenly the lights flickered.
"Ding-ding, dong-dong!"
In an instant, the sound of metal clashing filled the hall.
Lie Yunhu's eyes searched continuously, but he could only hear sounds surrounding his hospital bed, but he couldn't see the two people who were making the move.
Suddenly, a crisp cracking sound rang out, and a dark figure suddenly fell out.
Ye Chen stood by the window of Lie Yunhu, his expression calm and composed.
Gouhun stared at Ye Chen in terror and disbelief, asking, "Who are you? How can you be so strong!"
At this moment, the triangular bayonet that Soul Reaper was holding had been cut in two.
There was a wound on his left shoulder and another on his right lower abdomen, from which fresh blood slowly seeped out.
If he hadn't relied on his sense of danger to parry that last move, sacrificing his triangular bayonet to do so, it might not have been the bayonet that broke, but his neck.
Ye Chen said calmly, "Who I am is not important, as long as I am stronger than you, that's enough."
"I must say, your Shadow Assassination Technique is quite good. If it weren't for me, with your Grandmaster-level cultivation, you might actually have succeeded."
"But now that I've made my move, it will only take three moves to take you down. We've already exchanged two blows, and I won't hold back in the next one."
Upon hearing this, Gouhun's eyes were filled with disbelief; he couldn't believe that Ye Chen was so strong.
Looking at the broken triangular military dagger in his hand, and then at the Fish Intestine Sword in Ye Chen's hand, Gouhun's eyes were filled with solemnity.
"I have lost this time. I didn't expect that Lie Yunhu would have a strong protector like you by his side."
"But next time, I won't make the same mistake again."
As she spoke, the alluring figure was about to disappear into the shadows when Ye Chen sneered, "Trying to leave? Did you ask me first?"
In an instant, Gouhun felt a killing intent that seemed almost tangible rapidly approaching. Terrified, Gouhun ran directly towards the window.
However, Ye Chen's sword was faster. Gouhun dodged the attack of the Fish Intestine Sword in mid-air with a quick movement.
However, the clothes on her chest were slashed open by the Fish Intestine Sword, and two large white rabbits jumped out unrestrained, protected by mosaic.
"Ah!" Gouhun exclaimed, clutching his chest and glaring at Ye Chen with hatred.
He turned and disappeared through the window, but his voice could be heard from afar.
"You bastard, I'll remember you. You just wait."
Only after the other person disappeared did Ye Chen recover from his shock and subconsciously touch his nose.
He hadn't expected that the assassin, Soul Reaper, would actually be a woman. This was quite awkward.
Ye Chen turned around and saw Lie Yunhu's slightly strange look.
