The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 353 Assassination

In the Capital Military Region, after Ning Minyan agreed to be Ye Dongjian’s girlfriend, Ye Dongjian immediately burned his bridges, sending Ye Chenfeng and Wu Kunming away, while he, holding Ning Minyan’s hand with an excited face, made Ye Chenfeng and Wu Kunming so irritated they wished they could spit in his face.

Wu Kunming was an instructor in the Capital Military Region, and he had to stay in the military district to train the new recruits! So, comrade Ye Chenfeng could only leave the military district by himself.

When he left the military district, it was already past lunchtime. Ye Chenfeng didn’t rush back to the Yes’ residence. Instead, he found a restaurant in Capital City to solve the lunch problem, and then he strolled alone on the streets of the city, pondering in his mind what his next move should be? How could he make the Victory Sky Society rise in Capital City?

Unconsciously, the moon had already risen high into the sky. As the capital of Huaxia Country, when night fell, the streets of Capital City were almost bright with lights.

Ye Chenfeng wandered around and eventually ended up on a quiet alleyway. There was nobody on the alleyway, and the dim streetlights flickered as if they were about to go out at any moment. Ye Chenfeng leaned against a lamppost and said in a voice that was neither high nor low, "Following me for so long, do you guys really plan on keeping this up? I don’t have time to play a game of cat and mouse with you."

No sooner had his voice fallen than five men dressed in black, with their faces covered by black cloth, sprang out from the darkness. These five men in black had been tracking Ye Chenfeng since the evening. With Ye Chenfeng’s sharp senses, he had long since noticed these five men following him. Otherwise, why would he intentionally lead them to this quiet alleyway?

The eyes of the five men in black that showed outside the cloth were filled with confusion. They had not expected Ye Chenfeng to detect their presence. They were professional killers, with top-notch tracking skills. They had believed that when Ye Chenfeng wandered into this isolated lane, he was simply seeking his own death and they were pleased with themselves. But then, out of the blue, they heard Ye Chenfeng’s surprisingly calm words, which caused all five assassins to seethe with frustration, feeling as though they had been played.

"You discovered us a long time ago? Then why didn’t you call the police? Or go straight to the police station? That way, you might have been able to live a few more days. Should I call you foolish, or smart? If you’re foolish, you managed to discover us. If you’re smart, you discovered us and yet deliberately headed into this quiet alley. Do you think you have any chance of surviving?" Perhaps because he saw there were no pedestrians on this path, the lead assassin spoke unhurriedly, believing that this young man could not escape from their grasp tonight.

Ye Chenfeng narrowed his eyes, not sensing any danger from the five killers. He was certain that these five were not from the Ancient Martial World. He had initially thought that the culprits behind his parents’ car accident were making a move again, but it seemed he was mistaken. These five assassins probably weren’t sent by the mastermind of his parents’ car accident.

"You have two choices. One, tell me who sent you to kill me obediently, and I’ll spare your lives. Two, I’ll get the information I want out of you myself, but if it comes to that, all five of you will have to die," Ye Chenfeng spoke without a hint of panic on his face, as if he was discussing something completely natural. freeweɓnovel-cøm

"We choose neither of those options. We choose the third one—we kill you," the lead black-clad assassin said in a low voice.

Then, the five killers each pulled out a gleaming curved blade from their waists and charged at Ye Chenfeng. The killer in the lead swung his sharp blade unhesitatingly towards Ye Chenfeng’s throat, but Ye Chenfeng’s right hand reached out smoothly and effortlessly, his movements seemingly fast yet slow, easily clutched the wrist of the assassin in black and snatched the blade from his hand.

With a "swish" sound, the curved blade in Ye Chenfeng’s palm sliced towards the black-clad assassin’s throat. A flash of silver light passed, and a very fine line of blood appeared on the killer’s neck. Without even a syllable escaping his throat, his body slumped onto the ground, dead beyond doubt.

After three more flashes of the silver light in the darkness, only the lead assassin, who had initiated the attack, remained standing in shock, seemingly forgetting to attack. His four companions had all had their throats cut by Ye Chenfeng.

"So, are you ready to tell me who sent you to kill me now?" The curved blade in Ye Chenfeng’s hand didn’t even have a speck of blood on it, showing just how fast his move had been.

The leader of the black-clad assassins involuntarily took two steps back, but eventually made up his mind, "Even in death, I won’t tell you who sent us to kill you. There are rules in our line of work that I cannot break."

Ye Chenfeng had to admire the assassin’s professional quality, but admiration aside, since they had chosen to come after him, there wasn’t any reason for Ye Chenfeng to be courteous. With swift movements, he broke both arms of the assassin in black, then kicked the assassin’s kneecaps twice, rendering his legs useless.

The reason Ye Chenfeng did this was to lower the assassin’s willpower; he intended to employ hypnosis on the assassin. Professional killers usually have very strong willpower, so to increase the chances of a successful hypnosis, Ye Chenfeng had to resort to this method.

"You might as well save your efforts, you’re not going to get a single useful word out of me," the assassin in black squeezed out the words in starts and stops, sweat beading on his forehead.

"You’ll tell me everything soon enough," Ye Chenfeng said as he held out his right hand in front of the assassin’s eyes. A wave of Soul Force spread out, and gradually, the assassin’s eyes began to look confused, the agony within them fading into nothingness, as if he had become a puppet devoid of emotions.

Tell me! Who sent you to kill me?" Ye Chenfeng casually inquired.

The assassin’s voice came out mechanical, "The Xus from Wu State."

"The Xus from Wu State?" This was the first time Ye Chenfeng had heard of this family! As far as he could recall, Ye Chenfeng had no dealings with the so-called Xus from Wu State, so why would they send assassins after him?

"Why would the Xus from Wu State send you to kill me?" Ye Chenfeng continued to question.

"Don’t know, we just take the money and the job," the assassin answered without hesitation.

This made Ye Chenfeng feel even more perplexed. A person under hypnosis would not lie. It seemed these five assassins were simply hired killers with no more useful information to offer. However, Ye Chenfeng made a mental note to have the Xus from Wu State thoroughly investigated.

Ye Chenfeng moved his hand away from in front of the assassin’s eyes, and the assassin’s eyes slowly regained their spirit. A hypnotized person wouldn’t remember what happened during hypnosis. Unyielding, the assassin said, "If you’re going to kill me, just do it. Don’t waste your time here."

"The Xus from Wu State, right? Thank you for your cooperation," Ye Chenfeng said with a smile.

"What? How did you know that? Impossible!" The assassin’s eyes suddenly widened like lanterns, filled with panic as if he had seen a ghost. He remembered not uttering a single word just before!

"There’s no need to be so surprised. Didn’t you know that there’s such a thing as hypnosis in this world?" Ye Chenfeng shrugged.

The assassin fell silent, silent for a full three to four minutes before he finally sighed and said slowly, "You’re a master, the most formidable one I’ve encountered in my life. Dying at your hands isn’t unjust. From the day I chose to become an assassin, I had anticipated this day would come, just didn’t expect it so soon. If you’re willing, please make it quick. Thank you."

Ye Chenfeng picked up a curved blade from the ground. The blade flew from his hand towards the assassin’s neck, tracing a straight line across it. Following that, the light in the assassin’s eyes slowly faded away. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you’re welcome to give it your recommendation and monthly votes at Qidian (qidian.com).
