ash, dare to say you'll drive this young lady out." Song Aoshuang roared arrogantly, "Get lost immediately! If you anger me, I'll beat all of you up together."Liu Mao hadn't interacted much with Song...The man in black was obviously startled, not expecting the other party to find him so quickly.

But he was also a seasoned veteran, unflappable in the face of chaos. With a flick of his right hand, he drew a dark firearm from his waist.

But before he could raise his hand, a numbness suddenly seized his chest, and he stood there like a wooden statue.

"You...you..."

The man in black said two "you"s in succession, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

He was utterly shocked. After years as an assassin, he had never encountered anything like this before.

Ye Bufan stared at him with piercing eyes: "Was it you at the Dong family last time"

The man in black took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart. As a top assassin, he was always aware that he could die at any moment.

You won't get a word out of me.

Ye Bufan was too lazy to waste words with him. He took out his acupuncture pouch and instantly inserted seven silver needles into the seven major acupoints on top of his head—the Seven Needles Soul-Fixing Technique.

"Tell me, was it you who ambushed me with a gun at the Dong's place last time"

"Yes, it was me."

The man in black said honestly.

Ye Bufan felt a surge of excitement in his heart. Since it was the same person both times, he saw a glimmer of hope.

"Who are you"

"I am Blank, the Gunslinger, ranked 78th on the Assassin List."

"Why did you hit me"

Blank said: "I'm a killer. Last time, someone paid to have you killed. This time, someone hired me to kill Changsun Sheng and prevent him from revealing useful information."

At this point, Ye Bufan's heart tightened: "Tell [love with sound] who that person is."

I don't know.

Blank's answer still disappointed him.

"I don't know, why have you come at such opportune moments these two times"

The other party paid me 50 million yuan to stay in the imperial capital for a month, on standby. They'll call me if they need me to take action.

"Since we took their money, we do whatever they ask us to do. We don't ask any questions. That's the rule for assassins."

"Then, how would you contact the other party after succeeding"

"No need to contact, I just need to do it, and the other party will have the results."

"How did they find you And how did they pay you"

"Dark web bounty, the other party has already paid half the deposit, and the rest will be transferred to my account after the job is done."

"Damn it!"

Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information, Ye Bufan was furious. He raised his hand and struck Branko down with a single blow.

The other party was incredibly meticulous. Despite a string of failures, they didn't leave any trace of weakness.

He could only be on the defensive, which made him deeply frustrated.

With a thought, he put the sniper rifle away in his storage ring and then, with a burst of dan fire, cremated the body. He turned and walked back into the courtyard.

Changsun Sheng was already dead beyond all recognition. Ye Bufan cleaned up the traces in the room, burned that burlap doll, and then left.

After Ye Bufan left, Changsun Dongju said nervously, "What if he's alright"

"Definitely not, I believe the big boss will be back soon."

Two people were talking when suddenly the door was pushed open with a bang, and a figure appeared in the doorway.

This person was dressed in all black, from head to toe, and their figure suggested they were a woman. In their hand, they carried a long katana.

"Who are you What do you want to do"

Seeing someone arrive suddenly, Si Tu Dian Mo immediately became alert. With a whoosh, he drew his long sword from behind and protected Chang Sun Dong Ju's front.

“Little girl, either get out of the way or die.”

That person's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, to the point where you couldn't tell if it was male or female.

As she spoke, she walked into the room in her geta sandals, taking slow steps but radiating immense pressure.

"You're going to die!"

Situ Dianmo let out a loud roar, his long sword flashing towards the black-clad man.

"Overreaching."

A hint of disdain flashed in the man in black's eyes. His katana remained sheathed, but with a gentle flick forward, he met the incoming longsword.

Their blades clashed, and Situ Dianmo was instantly struck by a powerful force that sent her flying backward with a crash against the wall behind her.

Immediately, a warmth spread through his chest, and a mouthful of blood gushed from the corner of his mouth.

"It's actually a Heaven-Rank expert!"

Sītú Diǎnmò was astonished. He never expected that the person before him had actually reached the Heavenly Rank.

Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to intend to kill her, otherwise, that just now could have taken her life.

The man in black never stopped walking, continuing toward Changsun Dongju.

Sithu Dianmo gritted his teeth against the pain in his chest and, remembering Ye Bufan's previous instructions, crushed the jade talisman. With a deafening boom, the formation within the room activated.

The man in black had been calm and collected, believing he was in complete control. But suddenly, an invisible force struck him.

Although the force was not aggressive, it was powerful enough that she couldn't resist. Even with her Heavenly Rank cultivation, she couldn't withstand it. She was flung out of the room.

A flicker of astonishment crossed the black-clad man's eyes, followed by a rush as he charged back into the room, his blade raised.

It's a pity that despite her strength, she was still unable to break through that invisible force.

"Damn it, I won't believe I can't kill you."

That man drew his katana, emanating an awe-inspiring aura. With a fierce swing, he slashed forward with the blade.

The sharp blade's qi dissipated the instant it came into contact with the invisible force, proving utterly ineffective.

"This..."

The Blackclothed individual was clearly prepared, but they didn't expect this outcome. Seeing their target right in front of them, yet being powerless to act, filled her with immense frustration.

"Die."

She raised her hand, and a dozen maple leaf darts shot out from the wide sleeves of her robe.

Maple leaves darted with a fierce whoosh, as if trying to tear through space itself. Sadly, they were still unable to break through the invisible barrier, falling one after another onto the ground with a series of clinking sounds.

"Damn, I underestimated you."

The man in black glared angrily at the room before finally turning and leaving.

Seeing her leave, Changsun Dongju and Situ Dianmo both let out long sighs of relief. They had finally dodged a bullet.

"Girl, are you alright"

Changsun Dongju walked over and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, just a few internal injuries," Si Tu Dian Mo said. "Luckily the boss was prepared beforehand, otherwise today would have been a real mess."

"What just happened Why can't that person get in"

Changsun Dongju was just an ordinary person, and this was her first time seeing a Qimen formation. She found it quite strange.

"That's an array. The boss set up a defensive array before leaving, which is what stopped that person."

Si Tu Dian Mo said, "Grandaunt Changsun, it seems that Changsun Sheng really wants to kill you. He even invited a Heaven Rank expert."

Changsun Dongju said in bewilderment, “This… shouldn’t be right. I know his background, he shouldn’t be able to invite a Heaven Tier expert.”

"It shouldn't be Changsun Sheng, but someone else."

At this moment, a figure appeared at the door. It was Ye Bufan back. answer directly, his meaning was already clear.One lacked the courage to even strike back, while the other could withstand three moves. This clearly shows the vast difference between them."In your op...
