In a remote corridor where no one passed by, two women were facing each other.
One of them was a petite girl in a black sailor suit, Black Eye. She held a knife in her hand.
The other was Leona, who was dressed in revealing clothes and had wild animal ears. She clenched her fists tightly and stared at Blackpupil.
The atmosphere between the two sides was heavy. The difference in strength was not big, so no one was willing to make the first move to avoid revealing a flaw. However, this situation would not last long.
Stomp!
The two of them charged at each other at the same time. Blackeye's saber slashed out at high speed. Leona did not care about the sharpness of the saber at all. Her fist brought with it force as she met the attack, making a sound like a sword colliding with a sword.
Their speed increased from slow to fast, and in the end, their arms and knives could not be seen clearly.
Countless saber qi and fist force spread out from the center of their battle. The ground under their feet began to crack in all directions because of the battle, and the walls on both sides of them immediately cracked and showed deep marks.
In terms of speed, Blackpupil won, but in terms of attack power, Leona was superior.
Leona was indeed an experienced assassin. Although she was not as fast as Blackpupil, she used her powerful strength to stop Blackpupil's movements for a moment every time she clashed with the sword. If this continued, Blackpupil would definitely lose.
However, this was because Blackpupil had relied too much on the eighth branch's ability in previous battles, so he was still somewhat inadequate in the face of this predicament. Thus, Blackpupil, who felt that something was wrong, took the lead to retreat.
Seeing this opportunity, how could the experienced Leona give it up? She stomped her foot heavily and shot out like an arrow, sending rocks flying everywhere and causing the ground to sink.
In the blink of an eye, Leona arrived in front of Blackeye and punched out. Her fist seemed to carry burning flames and was mixed with a loud sonic boom. Leona's fist was aimed straight at Blackeye.
Blackpupil did not expect Leona to be so fast. He gathered his strength and slashed out with his sword.
Boom!
Blackeye blocked Leona's attack with great difficulty, but the ground behind Blackeye had already cracked. Huge rocks and cracked ground were washed away by the powerful shock wave, leaving a mess.
Zhang Yuhang, who was originally behind Blackeye, changed his figure and moved behind Leona. He looked at Leona quietly."Not a bad attack. If the target was Blackpupil, she would have already lost. However, if you give up this opportunity, you will lose.”
Leona's expression changed when she heard Zhang Yuhang's words. Her attack just now was indeed aimed at Zhang Yuhang. She believed that as long as the damn barrier disappeared, even those stronger than her wouldn't be able to stop her from leaving, so she focused her attack on Zhang Yuhang.
Without a doubt, her thoughts were correct. However, she didn't expect Zhang Yuhang's strength to be far superior to hers. In this exaggerated attack that was similar to a sneak attack, let alone being injured, she didn't even manage to graze the edge of Zhang Yuhang's clothes.
At this moment, Blackeye, who had already caught her breath, began to attack. What little spiritual energy she had gathered quickly gathered on her feet. She took advantage of Leona's moment of shock to retreat, and then attacked Leona like a phantom.
"Damn it!" Leona immediately returned to her senses and focused on the battle in front of her. She threw a punch forward at lightning speed. The wind from the punch was indomitable, and it carried a powerful force. However, the punch pierced through Black Eye's body and landed on the ground. A portion of the ground was instantly shattered.
"Oh no!" The moment Leona sensed that something was wrong, Blackeye suddenly approached her back and slashed at her neck.
In a battle between experts, as long as there was a flaw, the outcome would be decided immediately.
Black Eye's saber speed was close to the speed of sound. Leona, who had her back facing her, did not have Zhang Yuhang's strength. Even though her Thearch relic had a special premonition towards danger, she could not react at all at this moment. That was because she was still maintaining the posture when she was being attacked by the induced afterimage. She could not retract her strength and could only feel the hair on her body stand on end, but her body could not react.
"Stop, Blackpupil." Hearing Zhang Yuhang's order, Black Eye immediately retracted her saber. Her eighth chamber happened to stop at Leona's snow-white neck.
"Let's go, Blackpupil." Glancing at Leona and calling out to Black Eye, Zhang Yuhang tossed the money pouch he had taken from Leona and slowly walked out.
Nodding his head, Blackpupil put away his knife and looked at Leona thoughtfully. He stared at a certain place and suddenly seemed to understand something. He cursed softly,"Filthy cow."
After saying that, she ignored Leona's reaction and ran to catch up to Zhang Yuhang, hugging his hand intimately.
After watching the two of them leave, Leona heaved a sigh of relief. She rubbed her hair and rejoiced,"These two people are so powerful. Let's not talk about the girl called Blackpupil, that youth is really a monster. In the instant I launched a sneak attack, not only did he dodge perfectly, he even took the money bag on my waist. However, it seems that he didn't discover my identity as a night attacker.”
"In the future, it's better not to do such things to fool ignorant youths.”Leona turned around and left, but she stopped after a few steps."Blackpupil? This name... Could that girl be Chi Tong's younger sister?”
Leona stopped in her tracks and began to recall.
"It can't be wrong. She looks 80 - 90% similar to Chi Tong. Although her saber techniques are different, they are similar to Chi Tong's. She came from the Empire's assassination team, which means she is Chi Tong's sister.”
"Wait a minute, could that young man and sister Chi Tong be lovers? But would the Imperial Assassination Unit, a place that degenerates humanity and requires members to be like tireless robots, allow such a leisurely thing to happen?”
"Looks like I have to report the situation to Boss and send a spy to find out if anything has happened to the assassination team in the capital.”
Thinking of this, Leona quickened her pace and quickly disappeared into the dark path.
On the other side, Zhang Yuhang and Blackeye had already returned to the tavern. Eliyas and Shayou were having a heated conversation with Tazmi, who they had just met. It seemed that both sides had a lot to talk about.
After throwing the money bag to Tazmi and explaining a little, Tazmi finally realized that he had been cheated. He was then mocked by Iyeras and Shayou.
After that, Tazmi also expressed that he wanted to join the assassination team. After all, his original goal was to make a name for himself and make the village rich. However, after hearing about what happened to Eliyas and Shayou, he decided to eliminate the darkness in the Imperial City. In addition, Eliyas and Shayou also joined the assassination team.
A few days later, Zhang Yuhang had brought Tazmi and the others to the assassination base and treated the killers again. Fortunately, the killers had strong willpower, and under Kelly's supervision, no one was infected with the drug. The person who had improved the most in terms of strength was Blackpupil, followed by Tazmi. It should be said that he was indeed the main character, and his talent was extremely good. The others had not improved much. After all, it had only been a few days.
Then, today, Zhang Yuhang received a message: The captain of the Imperial Garrison Guard, Oka, was killed in a night raid.
Zhang Yuhang looked at the news with interest and thought to himself, Who was it that replaced Tazmi in the original novel to complete the mission? Was it the original member of the Night Raid or someone else?
