A Dignified Death

"Who sent you to ambush me?"

Su Zhan looked at the other party and sneered, "Perhaps I can give you a dignified death."

The gray-robed man gritted his teeth and glared at Su Zhan: "Kill me."

"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

Su Zhan's lips curled into a mocking smile. Suddenly, he flicked his wrist, and the fishing line wrapped around the other person's arms.

At the same time, he twisted it with all his might!

"Snap!"

A sound of bones cracking rang out, and the gray-robed man's arms were severed on the spot.

He screamed in agony, "Bastard, kill me! Kill me!"

Although he was a martial arts master, he was still made of flesh and blood and could not withstand such intense pain.

"Wouldn't killing you be too easy for you?"

Su Zhan pinched the gray-robed man's severed arm and sneered, "I'll show you that this world is worse than death."

The man in the gray robe stood stiffly, his eyes filled with fear and despair.

He suddenly understood why Su Zhan had asked that question.

"Clap clap clap--"

Almost as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he felt a sharp pain in both knees, which then shattered with a crack.

Then, his right leg, like his left, was bound by a thick Black Rope, and he was slowly hoisted up.

"Ah..."

The man in the gray robe couldn't help but scream in agony.

What is this?

He twisted and turned desperately, trying to shake off the Black Rope, but to no avail. He was soon pulled straight up and suspended in the air.

"This is a new move I learned; it's called 'Cross Strangler'."

"Every time I pull it up, it feels like being in a crucifixion, a piercing pain."

"And once the Cross Strangler is closed, it can never be separated."

"Unless the caster is willing to loosen the rope, or the other person dies, this Cross Strangler will remain in place."

"What awaits you is a long period of torment and death."

"Now, for the next few tens of seconds, if you dare to move even once, I will immediately tighten the rope and make you suffer a thousand kinds of torment."

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two..."

"One!"

"Snap!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the rope suddenly tightened and then snapped with a crack.

"Whoosh--"

A burst of heat shot out from the fracture, scalding the gray-robed man's skin in several places.

"Ah--"

The gray-robed man screamed, his whole body trembling, sweat pouring down his forehead.

He tried to struggle, but Cross Strangler and trapped.

Su Zhan knew that under these circumstances, he absolutely could not let the gray-robed man leave.

He watched as the gray-robed man pulled out a gleaming Dagger and stabbed it fiercely at him.

The Dagger slashed through the air with a piercing whoosh, carrying a deadly chill.

Su Zhan narrowed his eyes, showing no fear, but instead revealing a cold smile.

The gray-robed man's attacks were sharp and swift, but Su Zhan's skills were superior.

He dodged the Dagger's thrust with a swift movement, then launched a rapid counterattack.

With a rapid series of attacks, Su Zhan's fists and feet struck the gray-robed man like a whirlwind, each blow carrying destructive power.

The gray-robed man had no time to react and was knocked to the ground, his Dagger falling to the side.

Su Zhan forward without hesitation and stepped on the gray-robed man's wrist, rendering him unable to move.

He looked coldly at the enemy before him, his eyes revealing a hint of ruthlessness and coldness.

Tell me, who are you, and why did you try to ambush me?

Su Zhan's voice was deep and cold, giving the gray-robed man an indescribable sense of pressure.

The gray-robed man managed to squeeze out, "I told you, kill me!"

"Killing you would be too easy, but I enjoy torturing people."

Su Zhan smiled faintly and picked up the Dagger from the ground:

"I'll poke your palm with this knife first. If you don't cry out, I'll stab you again."

"If I stab you once, I promise I won't waste any more words, I'll stab you right away and leave."

"If you make a sound, I'll keep stabbing you."

Su Zhan flicked his finger, handing the sharp knife to the gray-robed man. "The choice is yours!"

"You bastard--"

The gray-robed man's eyes blazed with fury. He roared and lunged at Su Zhan, but then a tearing pain shot through his legs once more.

Su Zhan crushed his feet to pieces.

"Ah--"

The man in the gray robe couldn't help but let out a wail, and large tears streamed down his face.

This kind of torment is worse than death.

"You won't tell me?"

"Okay, then I'll try another way."

Without pausing, Su Zhan tossed another small knife to the gray-robed man and then grasped his left hand.

With his left hand crippled, the gray-robed man lost his balance and tumbled to the ground.

"Bang!"

Su Zhan stepped on the gray-robed man's shoulder, forcing him to raise his head. "I hate being threatened the most."

Then, he picked up a Tree Branch and smashed the gray-robed man's wrist.

The gray-robed man let out another shrill scream, his body curling up uncontrollably.

Just then, several men in black appeared and slashed at Su Zhan with a knife.

Su Zhan swept his hand back, sending the three Dagger flying.

"Ta-da!"

With a sharp crack, the Dagger broke in two.

The other three men were enraged upon seeing this, and simultaneously drew their guns, aimed at Su Zhan, and pulled the triggers.

Su Zhan's figure leaped and disappeared from the spot.

"Whoosh!"

Su Zhan rushed into the crowd and kicked two armed men in black away.

He then approached a man in black and smashed a stick down on his head.

The man in black groaned and fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, several of his companions brandished their Dagger and slashed at him.

Unfortunately, Su Zhan had anticipated their actions and nimbly dodged the attack.

The next second, he grabbed a chair and swung it at the group of men in black.

With a series of cracking sounds, the six people screamed and fell to the ground.

Su Zhan showed no mercy, delivering the final blow to their throats.

"Asshole!"

Just as Su Zhan was about to slit the neck of the last person, the door shattered with a loud crash.

Then, a dozen heavily armed thugs dressed in black appeared.

There were ten people in total, all in uniform, with bulging waistbands, clearly carrying weapons.

The team leader was a middle-aged man with a square face. He yelled at Su Zhan stop while ordering his men to seal off the entire Warehouse.

"Asshole!"

Seeing that Su Zhan ignored him, he grinned maliciously, took out a Silver Needles, and shot it at Su Zhan's back.

Su Zhan slightly turned his head, avoiding the opponent's sneak attack.

"Court death!"

Enraged at the sight, the team leader raised his arm and a Silver Needles shot out with a whoosh.

Su Zhan his right hand, causing the Silver Needles to deviate from its trajectory and graze past his arm.

There was a smear of blood on his right hand.

Su Zhan showed no panic. With a flick of his wrist, he sent Silver Needles piercing the leader's brow.

"Thump!"

The team leader let out a muffled groan and collapsed to the ground.

Su Zhan reached out and ripped off his collar, revealing a Skull mask, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"It's like finding something you've been searching for everywhere without even looking for it, and then having it come to you effortlessly."

He was pondering how to find the mastermind behind it all and take revenge.

Su Zhan was delighted that the other party had come to him of their own accord.

He dragged the body into the shadows, then helped the gray-robed man to his feet. "Brother, I saved your life, shouldn't you thank me?"

The gray-robed man gritted his teeth and cursed, "You little beast!"

Su Zhan shrugged. "I think you should thank me!"

The gray-robed man laughed in fury, "Bastard! I'll fight you to the death!"

Su Zhan slapped him across the face again. "I not only want your life, but I also want to uncover your secrets."

The gray-robed man blushed deeply, then glared at Su Zhan and grinned maliciously. "I don't believe you dare to do anything reckless."

Without wasting words, Su Zhan took out Silver Needles and swiftly stabbed them into the gray-robed man's body.

The gray-robed man groaned, his expression twisting like that of a venomous snake.

"Ah--"

The gray-robed man could no longer bear it and began to scream like a madman.

"Shut up!"

Su Zhan kicked him in the mouth, silencing him completely.

"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!"

The gray-robed man trembled all over, drenched in sweat, his face etched with pain.

He roared like a wild beast, as if he were about to struggle to his feet.

Do you know which acupoints I just needled?

Su Zhan asked with a smile, "I had a total of four hundred and twenty-nine stabs."

"These are 48,000 acupoints on the human body; you can feel intense pain at any of them."

"The pain you are enduring right now far exceeds your imagination."

"I advise you to confess obediently to avoid suffering."

Su Zhan patiently persuaded, "Otherwise, when you can't take it anymore, I'll use other acupuncture techniques on you..."

The gray-robed man's eyelids twitched. "Who exactly are you? What do you want?"

Who I am is not important; what matters is that you know what I want.

Su Zhan slowly walked up to the gray-robed man. "As long as you cooperate with me, you won't suffer any losses."

The gray-robed man gasped, "Let me tell you, this is Yang Country territory. If you dare to act recklessly, you will surely die."

"Don't worry, I only want to know about your affairs."

Su Zhan smiled gently, "I will absolutely not involve you Yang Country."

The man in the gray robe remained steadfast in his principles. "What do you want?"

I want you to be completely open and honest with me!

Su Zhan uttered each word clearly. "Who exactly are you people? Why did you want to kill me and Tang Ruoxue?"

You're dreaming!

The gray-robed man gritted his teeth. "If you kill me today, someone else will take your life tomorrow."

"If you want to kill me, go ahead, but you won't have the chance."

He unleashed his pent-up frustration in one breath. "Because you'll never find me..."

"Smack!"

Su Zhan slapped him again without hesitation. "You think I don't know who you are?"

"I know you're a member of the Yamamoto Organization in Yang Country."

Su Zhan sneered, "But your stronghold shouldn't be here; this is another base of yours."

"Your target is me, but Tang Ruoxue is just a decoy. You want to set a trap to lure out my enemies or relatives and friends."

"Unfortunately, you met me; it was destined that your efforts would all be in vain."

He felt the gray-robed man's pulse.

As expected, the other party was a Killer.

Hearing that Su Zhan could even come up with such a plan, the gray-robed man was completely shocked, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

But after his anger subsided, he sighed:

"I do want to kill you, but I don't want to implicate others..."

Although Yamamoto Organization was powerful, it also had various rules and restrictions, and he didn't want to drag his comrades into the vortex.

"If you don't implicate others, I won't kill you?"

Su Zhan smiled indifferently, "Do you think I'm a naive and innocent girl?"

"You don't believe me?"

The gray-robed man's eyes widened. "I really am a member of Yamamoto Organization."

"Bang!"

Su Zhan did not answer. He smashed the glass window with his fist, then grabbed the gray-robed man and leaped to the roof.

The gray-robed man couldn't help but scream, "No!"

"Whoosh!"

The words had barely left his mouth when a Sniper Bullet pierced through the glass and flew in.

"Bang--"

Su Zhan was prepared; he patted the gray-robed man on the head, signaling him to dodge a fatal blow.

The bullet grazed his shoulder.

Blood spurted out.

The gray-robed man let out another scream, nearly scared to death.

Su Zhan didn't stop, continuing to roll around with him in her arms.

"Bang bang bang--"

Three Sniper Bullet tracked Su Zhan, hitting the walls and floor and sparking, causing nearby residents to scream and flee in terror.

The man in the gray robe was even more terrified.

He never expected that Su Zhan could guess the Sniper's hiding place and even predict the direction of the bullets; it was simply incredible.

Su Zhan skillfully dodged the obstacles, moving with incredible speed, and in a flash, he reached the edge of the rooftop.

"Bang!"

Just then, a loud bang suddenly rang out, and a rocket launcher spewed out a ball of flame.

Su Zhan dodged the attack, but his arm was still burned and he was in great pain.

The gray-robed man screamed in agony as a burst of blood erupted from his chest...

"You bastard!"

At that moment, the woman in black downstairs was scanning the surroundings with binoculars.

After seeing Su Zhan dodge the first shot, she quickly led her men up the stairs and immediately couldn't contain her anger, letting out a shout.

"Boom!"

She fired a shot that hit the second-floor railing, blowing the room where Su Zhan was to smithereens.

Just as she was about to move to a different position, she heard several muffled gunshots.

She frowned slightly, turned her head, and saw five or six agents charging forward with weapons in hand.

They not only blocked his path with Sniper Rifle, but also suppressed his movements step by step with each shot.

The woman in black's pretty face instantly darkened. "Damn it!"

She dropped the binoculars, drew a pistol, and prepared to fight head-on.

"Whoosh--"

Before she could pull the trigger, an arrow whistled through the air.

Extremely fast and incredibly powerful.

Before the woman in black could react, a sharp blade was thrust into her throat.

She swayed and fell to the ground with a thud.

A thin, long scar appeared on his neck.

Fresh blood seeped out.

The woman in black never expected that her opponent would use a sneak attack.

She managed to squeeze out the words, "Despicable—"

She then lost her life.

The black-clad woman's assassins also rushed forward to block their way, but before they could get close, they were pinned to the wall by several Crossbow Bolts.

The Crossbow had a longer range than Sniper Rifle, and the marksmanship was superb; he could take down seven or eight of his companions in a single encounter.

However, after the Crossbow were fired, the black-clad female assassins suffered no losses whatsoever.

They swayed a couple of times before regaining their composure, as if the fight had nothing to do with them.

Su Zhan glanced around and found that, apart from the team leader, everyone else was lying on the ground unconscious.

He was impressed by the woman in black's strength, then picked up the binoculars she had dropped.

"Snap!"

Su Zhan glanced outside with his binoculars and saw a jeep start and drive away.

Su Zhan shouted in a low voice, "Don't run!"

He grabbed the rope next to him, threw it, and it wrapped around the stair railing before he moved over.
