Reminder

Chu Qing didn't stop after landing the blow.

Because something was wrong!

Chu Qing was a killer, and he had no intention of interrogating the person in front of him.

Having been part of the Mirror of Sin, he understood this group of people very well.

Getting information out of them was harder than climbing to heaven.

Unless he possessed a martial art like the Life and Death Talisman, there was no hope of extracting information through torture; otherwise, he wouldn't even consider it.

What's more, Chu Qing knew who was standing behind him.

So he didn't need information at all.

Therefore, with that sword strike just now, he hadn't intended to show mercy at all... he just wanted the other person dead!

Chu Qing used Ah Fei's Fast Sword, deeply understanding the key principles of speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness.

Logically speaking, with that sword strike... he should have died!

However, he was still alive.

Although he had lost an arm, he was still alive in the end.

If this person had been prepared, could he have dodged his sword?

Who was he?

These questions didn't linger in Chu Qing's mind for long. The moment he realized the other person was not simple, the thing he needed to do was very simple...

Draw the sword!

The assassin, who had lost an arm, didn't fall the moment his feet touched the ground.

His body didn't even sway slightly from the pain.

He slid backward, using the momentum of his landing to rub his feet against the ground. At the same time, his left hand, holding the sword, flicked backward slightly, letting the long sword go. Just as his palm was level with the sword hilt, he reached out to grasp it.

"Since you severed one of my arms, you must pay with your life!"

Calmness was a killer's most basic quality.

Therefore, even though the situation changed too quickly, he had analyzed the current circumstances in an instant.

Someone was ambushing him from the shadows, and this person's sword was extremely fast.

However, having severed his arm, the attacker would surely be complacent... it was a golden opportunity for a counterattack!

Compared to that, who was the person ambushing him, and why were they ambushing him here?

These questions were unimportant and could be considered after he had killed the attacker.

Everything happened in a flash. Just as the assassin from the Mirror of Sin was about to grasp the sword hilt, believing he could secure victory, what came towards him was a sharp edge.

The sound hadn't arrived, but the sword had!

Chh!

The long sword pierced through his throat, and then the blade sliced horizontally... half of his neck was cleanly cut open, and blood spurted out like rain.

The head wearing a mask naturally slumped to the other side, his eyes still flickering with bewilderment.

Was I wrong in my prediction?

Why wasn't he complacent at all?

Moreover, even though he fell from a height, how could he gather his breath and attack again in mid-air?

But these questions were destined to be taken with him to the Underworld.

Clang, the assassin's sword finally fell to the ground at this moment, making a clear sound.

Everything was over.

In a fight to the death, being even a moment slower was the difference between life and death.

Chu Qing saw that he was completely dead before letting out a soft breath.

The Golden Goose Technique wasn't just a martial art for escaping or climbing walls; the role it could play in combat was surprisingly significant.

If he hadn't used the Golden Goose Technique to gather his breath just now, this sword strike wouldn't have been so fast.

"After all, he was assassinating someone like Chu Yunfei. Those who could be arranged here are indeed not ordinary."

Chu Qing sheathed his sword and glanced at the corpse on the ground.

He felt a little unhappy...

The room, which had been cleaned spotlessly, was now dirty.

The Mirror of Sin, they really deserved to die.

He walked up to the corpse and checked it. There was nothing on him.

But this was normal.

Assassinating Chu Yunfei was not that easy. How could an assassin sent here leave anything on their person?

If he were to be killed by chance, wouldn't that just benefit the other party?

As for why Chu Qing was initially able to find that letter and silver on those assassins... one could only say they didn't take Chu Qing seriously, believing it was a sure thing, that Chu Qing was bound to die.

Thinking of this, a vein throbbed on Chu Qing's forehead, making him feel even more annoyed.

After finishing this matter, Chu Qing didn't deal with the bodies.

One of his purposes for coming here was to warn Chu Yunfei that the people from the Mirror of Sin were coming to kill him.

Although the arrival of that person gave him other plans, the matter of warning Chu Yunfei wouldn't change.

Now, giving him the corpse of a Mirror of Sin assassin directly, was there a better warning than this?

Of course, before that, he still had to cause a bit of a stir, otherwise, on this particular day, by the time Chu Yunfei came here and discovered the body, it might already be too late.

Stepping out of the room, Chu Qing leaped onto the roof.

He lifted off several tiles and threw them into the courtyard.

After doing so, he only then realized:

Am I considered to be 'climbing onto the roof to remove tiles'?

The sound of the tiles breaking wasn't small and quickly attracted the attention of the Chu Family. A servant pushed open the courtyard gate and the first thing he saw were the broken tiles on the ground, followed closely by the assassin's body half-blocked by the door.

His face immediately changed drastically:

"This is bad, something's happened!"

He didn't bother to go in and check, and hurriedly went out to call for help.

In no time at all, many servants who heard the news gathered here.

There were also martial artists searching everywhere, but by the time they jumped onto the roof, Chu Qing had already moved to another location.

Just then, a young man with a refined and handsome appearance parted the crowd and stepped into the small courtyard.

When the surrounding servants and guard martial artists saw him, they all bowed:

"Eldest Young Master."

When he saw the body in the room and the surrounding environment, Chu Tian's expression became extremely grim.

But he didn't lose his temper; instead, he carefully examined everything.

After a moment, he frowned slightly:

"Such a fast sword..."

He stood where the Mirror of Sin assassin should have been standing and looked up. It was directly at Chu Qing's desk.

The scattered blood next to the desk came into his view.

It made him suddenly look up at the beam:

"He attacked from above... severing the assassin's arm with one sword strike.

"Then he flew down, and without hesitation, delivered another sword strike that pierced his throat, and also conveniently cut off half of his head.

"How ruthless, how decisive!

"How incredibly sharp!"

With this thought, he suddenly turned back to look at the assassin's sword:

"The position is wrong... he wanted to counterattack, but he failed.

"Two very formidable people, one striking decisively with a sword technique that is both fast and ruthless, and the other, even with an arm severed, still remained calm, planning a counterattack.

"Their speed in adapting to the situation is admirable... but why cause trouble in my third brother's room?

"Moreover, the way these two people act, it seems a bit..."

Turning around, he leaped onto the roof.

His field of vision was empty. His mind raced, and he looked at the people in the courtyard again. Then, his eyes were momentarily lost in thought, and he murmured:

"Who exactly is it?"

"Big Brother!"

Chu Fan's voice suddenly came.

Chu Tian snapped back to attention, sighed, and flew down from the roof. He saw Chu Fan and Junior Sister Wen coming together.

What surprised Chu Tian a little was, why was Junior Sister Wen carrying a carrying pole on her shoulder?

"Where did Miss Wen get that?"

Chu Tian asked subconsciously.

Junior Sister Wen seemed to have the same expression towards everyone, and she calmly uttered two words:

"Found it."
