"I'll go too."
Zhou Jie, Zhu Yipin, and Nie Ziyi looked over in surprise. After all, in the eyes of the three of them, Yang Yuxuan was not someone who liked to meddle in other people's business. Why was he concerned about Zhao Bensan this time?
Yang Yuxuan knew what they were thinking and explained awkwardly,""I'm only protecting him because he's an important witness. Don't misunderstand.”
Hearing this, Zhou Jie laughed in his heart. If it was really to protect the witness, why would he send him out of the city? He would bring him back and lock him in a house. Wouldn't it be easier for him to guard outside?
However, Zhou Jie did not intend to expose Yang Yuxuan. After all, the system had already warned him that the mission was dangerous. With his help, the survival rate should be higher.
"Since Old Yang has already spoken, how can I refuse?" Zhou Jie nodded. Old Zhu, Miss Nie, please send Ruoxin back to the clinic first. Old Yang and I will be back soon.”
Zhu Yipin and Nie Ziyi saw that they had made up their minds and didn't think it was a big deal, so they didn't stop them. They helped Liu Ruoxin back to the clinic.
Yang Yuxuan sat outside and drove. He looked around from time to time to see if there was anything suspicious. Zhou Jie could feel that the person who fired the steel needles was definitely an expert. He was worried that the person would attack again, so Zhou Jie could only sit beside Zhao Bensan to protect him.
The three of them had a peaceful journey, as if the killers had given up on chasing them.
At first, Zhao Bensan was like a frightened bird. He grabbed onto Zhou Jie's clothes tightly, afraid that another assassin would appear and take his life. Only when they were about to leave the capital did Zhao Bensan gradually relax.
However, Zhou Jie was not as optimistic as him. Since the system said that there was danger, it would not let him complete the mission so easily. One had to know that the capital was not just a city. The suburbs around the city were also considered part of the capital. Moreover, the further away they were from the city, the more remote it would be. It was a good time for an official killer to take action.
Sure enough, a broken piece of wood suddenly fell on the road, blocking the way.
Yang Yuxuan was indeed a high-level spy. He was skilled and agile. Although it happened suddenly, he still pulled the reins in time and stopped the carriage before it was loaded with broken wood.
"Who is playing tricks? Come out quickly.”Yang Yuxuan jumped off the carriage and was on full alert. He looked around but could not find the enemy.
Zhou Jie hurriedly pulled Zhao Bensan out of the car and protected him with Yang Yuxuan.
Zhou Jie searched around and asked,""Old Yang, have you found the enemy?”
Yang Yuxuan was also looking for him. When he heard Zhou Jie's question, he did not turn around and said,""The assassins this time are all experts. Their auras are well hidden. If the other party doesn't make a move first, even I won't be able to find their location.”
Zhou Jie also knew that it was impossible to find the killer, so he could only be on full alert and protect Zhao Bensan.
The two sides confronted each other like this for more than ten minutes. Zhou Jie was really impatient. He deliberately left a flaw to lure the killer to attack.
The assassin was fooled. He grabbed Zhou Jie's exposed wound and shot a steel needle at Zhao Bensan's temple.
Zhou Jie was prepared for this. He instantly took out his iron sword from his storage space and blocked the steel needle with a "ding".
The person who fired the steel needle did not expect Zhou Jie's sword to come out of nowhere, but he knew that he had been exposed. He jumped in front of Zhou Jie very decisively.
Yang Yuxuan was about to turn around to deal with the person who came, but he did not expect another person to appear in front of him. Yang Yuxuan hurriedly held the hilt of his sword and was on guard.
The person in front of Zhou Jie was holding a steel spike that was more than a foot long like a judge's pen in his right hand, and a steel needle that looked like an embroidery needle in his left hand, ready to shoot at any time.
The person opposite Yang Yuxuan was wearing a cloak and holding two knives. He stared at Yang Yuxuan.
Looking at these two people, Zhou Jie felt that they were very familiar, but he could not figure out where he had seen them before.
"Who are you? Who sent you here?" Yang Yuxuan asked.”
As he spoke, Yang Yuxuan had already circulated his Genuine Qi throughout his body, ready to strike at any time.
"You don't need to know who we are. Our mission is to kill the person hiding among you." If you know what's good for you, hand him over obediently. Otherwise, your lives will be in danger.”
Zhou Jie thought hard for a long time and finally remembered that they were the Blackstone Assassin Lei Bin and the Color Actor in " Rain of Swords ". It was hard not to recognize the Color Actor with his colorful cloak.
"I didn't expect Zhao Bensan to have such a great reputation to actually get the two of you to get rid of him." Zhou Jie laughed loudly.”
When Yang Yuxuan heard this, he knew that Zhou Jie had guessed the background of these two people. He hurriedly asked,"You know who they are?"
Zhou Jie just looked at his opponent and said without turning back,"These two are from one of the top assassin organizations in the martial arts world, Black Rock. The one holding the needle should be Lei Bin, and the one dressed weirdly could only be Cai Xi.”
The master was shocked. He didn't expect Zhou Jie to know them so well. Although Black Rock was famous, most of the people who had seen them were dead. Usually, they had their own lives. They only gathered together when they were on a mission. They had never been recognized by anyone.
"Brat, since you know so well, I can't keep you alive.”Lei Bin thought of his wife and children. If his identity was exposed, his enemies would definitely come to him. Even if he could escape from his wife and children, he would be killed by his enemies.
The more Lei Bin thought about it, the more afraid he became. He threw out the steel needle in his left hand, intending to silence him.
Ding ding. Zhou Jie blocked the steel needles and pressed Zhao Bensan down."Hide under the carriage. Otherwise, I won't be able to take care of you if we fight.”Without waiting for Zhao Bensan to reply, he raised his sword and charged at Lei Bin.
Zhou Jie rushed forward and dodged two waves of steel needles. Finally, he got close to Lei Bin. Before Lei Bin could react, Zhou Jie used his Gale Sword Technique and suppressed Lei Bin.
On the other side, Zhao Bensan obediently hid under the carriage and carefully watched the battle through the gap between the wheels.
Yang Yuxuan saw that Zhou Jie had already made his move, so he did not wait for him to unsheathe his sword and charge at Cai Xi. Cai Xishi was not to be outdone. He shook his two sabers and the sabers lit up in flames.
Yang Yuxuan and Cai Shiju were both at Xiantian Realm Level Seven, so their cultivation was on par. However, if the acrobat wanted to combine his martial arts and magic, his strange moves would be hard to guard against. Fortunately, the acrobat was injured all over because of practicing magic, so his strength was more or less reduced.
The saber technique that Yang Yuxuan had learned was a high-tier martial art in the imperial palace. In addition, he had already condensed his saber aura, so it was unstoppable. Cai Xi didn't dare to fight him head-on, so she just kept looking for opportunities.
Zhou Jie secretly glanced at Yang Yuxuan and saw that the two of them were evenly matched. They were fighting to the death and could not help him for the time being.
Zhou Jie had no choice but to gather more Genuine Qi to increase the speed of his Gale Sword Technique. He hoped that he could stall Lei Bin and wait for Yang Yuxuan to finish off his opponent before coming to his aid.
Lei Bin saw the situation and immediately guessed what Zhou Jie was thinking. Lei Bin made up his mind. He decided to kill Zhou Jie first, and then go over to kill Yang Yuxuan.
Lei Bin's martial arts were slightly better than hers. He had reached Xiantian Realm Level Eight and his Genuine Qi was extremely powerful. Although Lei Bin was good at flying needles, he was also good at close combat.
Lei Bin used the long needle in his hand as a judge's pen. Not only did he block Zhou Jie's fast sword, but he also used the remaining energy to attack Zhou Jie.
Zhou Jie felt the long sword in his hand pause. The sword moves were no longer coherent, and the needle shadows in front of him formed a shield around his major acupoints.
Zhou Jie knew that he couldn't take this attack with his current strength, so he quickly hid on the ground and activated the Golden Goose Skill. He jumped up and dodged Lei Bin's attack.
Lei Bin knew that Zhou Jie wouldn't be defeated so easily. He didn't mind Zhou Jie dodging. He took out a steel needle with his left hand and threw it at Zhou Jie. Lei Bin's move was indeed powerful. Normal people would have no way to relay in the air and could only be live targets.
However, how could he know how magical the Golden Goose Technique was? The Golden Goose Technique was not good at speed, and its dodging effect was not as magical as the Wave Subtle Steps. However, when it came to flying straight up in the air, only Wudang Ladder Yunzong could compare to it.
Zhou Jie crossed his legs and stepped on the ground with his right foot and left foot. His body, which was about to fall, rose a little and narrowly avoided the flying needle.
As the saying went, it was impolite not to reciprocate. Before Lei Bin could react, Zhou Jie threw a Little Li Flying Dagger.
Lei Bin didn't expect Zhou Jie to dodge his fatal attack. At this moment, a cold light shot at him. Lei Bin knew that it was dangerous with his years of experience, so he quickly dodged the flying knife.
When the two of them stood still, Lei Bin looked at Zhou Jie coldly and said,""I didn't expect that I would still underestimate you. This is the first time I've met someone as difficult to deal with as you.”
"Likewise." Zhou Jie seized the opportunity to reply secretly,"Since we've just competed in close-combat moves, let's compete in concealed weapon skills now!”As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Jie threw out two throwing knives in succession.
Lei Bin wasn't a newbie, so he wasn't fooled by Zhou Jie's little trick. He immediately returned two steel needles.
The flying knife and the steel needle collided in midair. With two clangs, they both fell to the ground due to lack of strength.
Zhou Jie also knew that he couldn't be as accurate as Li Xiaobo, so he kept running around Lei Bin, throwing knives whenever he had the chance.
Lei Bin stood still and observed Zhou Jie's movements. He blocked or avoided Zhou Jie's flying knives one by one, and sometimes he would even stab him with one or two needles.
The two of them were in a stalemate, and as time passed, it was inevitable that there would be some mistakes. By the time the two of them took a break, there were some wounds on their bodies. However, Lei Bin was covered in cuts, while Zhou Jie was covered in needles.
"Despicable!" Zhou Jie staggered and felt that his body was a little weak. It was probably because the needle was poisoned.
Seeing Zhou Jie poisoned, Lei Bin felt that the situation had been set. He laughed and said,""You should feel lucky. I wouldn't use poisonous flying needles to deal with ordinary people. You don't have to worry too much. The pain I've inflicted on the flying needles isn't fatal. At most, it'll make your whole body weak.”As he spoke, he walked towards Zhou Jie, preparing to give him the final blow.
Naturally, Zhou Jie would not sit still and wait for death. He quickly exchanged for a Yellow-level Antidote Pill worth 50 Chivalry Points from the system and consumed it.
As soon as the antidote entered his mouth, the feeling of weakness immediately disappeared. However, Zhou Jie still pretended to be poisoned. He wanted to wait for Lei Bin to come and ambush him when he was unprepared.
