"You''re not giving us brothers any face?"
The assassin who appearedter, upon hearing Su Chen''s words, instantly darkened inplexion, fury flickering within his eyes.
"Hmph, face? What makes you think you deserve any face from me!"
Su Chen snorted disdainfully, not even deigning to nce at the man.
"Do you think you''ve already won?"
Seeing Su Chen''s contempt, the man''s expression turned as grim as still water.
He had only suggested a truce because the target was truly too troublesome, not because he was afraid of his opponent!
There are two types of assassins: one is those who, no matter what, willplete their mission at the cost of their own lives, holding their assassin creed as their highest belief.
The other type bides their time, prioritizing their own safety above all else. At the first sign of trouble, they withdraw immediately, never taking risks.
The Ghostly Twin Fiends undoubtedly belonged to thetter category, and upon realizing that their target was not so simple, they had immediately proposed a negotiation, hoping for a peaceful resolution for both parties.
Under normal circumstances, even a formidable target would ept their terms, as they were merely fulfilling assignments for money.
More importantly, the Ghostly Twin Fiends were not to be trifled with, being ranked fourth on the ck List; if it really came down to a life-and-death struggle, it wouldn''t be easy.
That''s why when Su Chen tly rejected his proposal, the man felt both angry and somewhat astonished!
"Your brother''s life is in my hands; what can you do?"
Su Chen, tightening his grip on the throat of the assassin he had caught earlier, exerted a little extra pressure, and the assassin instantly felt as though he were suffocating, his face contorting and eyes bulging as if they might pop out.
"Since we chose this line of work, we''ve long been prepared for this day,"
the man replied, his eyes fixed firmly on Su Chen, spitting out:
"If you think you can use my brother to threaten me, you are sorely mistaken!"
"There''s only one oue to this: both of us brothers will die together. So forget about any threats. But if you kill him, I swear I''ll avenge him!"
The man''s tone was chilling as he spoke, his words carrying an unmistakable threat!
"Are you threatening me?"
Su Chen coldly replied:
"I hate being threatened the most. I''d like to see how you n to avenge him!"
With a slight increase in the force of his fingers, a "crack" was heard, and the assassin''s head drooped, evidently dead.
Su Chen discarded the body as if throwing out trash, then looked mockingly at him and said:
"Don''t me me when you get to the Underworld. me your brother for not caring about your life."
"You''re seeking death!"
The remaining man, witnessing this scene, instantly became enraged, his eyes wide with fury. He roared and charged at Su Chen!
This was, after all, his own younger brother. His previous warning had been intended to make the other party hesitate.
But he never expected that, far from being intimidated, the other party would immediately snap his brother''s neck!
This filled him with hatred, his eyes zing with a fierce light, as if he wanted to tear Su Chen to pieces!
The moment he moved, an afterimage shed by, his speed significantly faster than his brother''s had been.
Because while his brother was at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement, he had reached the Qi Refinement Peak, which is SS-level!
In the blink of an eye, he had reached Su Chen''s side. His wrist flicked, and a gleaming curved de appeared in his hand!
Then with a broad swipe, a silver light shed, emitting a daunting glow in the moonlight, shing directly at Su Chen''s neck!
True Yuan surged on the curved de, stirring up a gust, as if even the surrounding air were being dispersed!
He had originally thought that Su Chen would definitely have to bend or lean back to dodge, so he had already prepared a follow-up move!
However, he didn''t expect that the man would just stand there, unmoving, as if waiting for him to strike, and a strange smile simultaneously surfaced at the corner of the man''s mouth.
Seeing that smile, a shiver ran down his spine, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart!
Just then, the man moved, but still did not dodge; instead, he extended arge hand, grasping at the scimitar!
He was dumbfounded at this sight!
Had this guy gone mad? Actually trying to seize the de with his bare hands?
He should know that he had released all his energy in that strike, the scimitar cutting through the air like a meteor, with True Yuan rolling over the de, matching unparalleled speed and power!
Wasn''t this a death wish? At the same time, it was an outright insult to him!
Enraged, he once again urged the Qi and blood in his body, increasing the speed and power of the scimitar in his hand, the sound of it ripping through the air rising to a howl!
He seemed to have already seen the next moment, where the scimitar would sever the opponent''s palm, sh through the neck, and bring up a mist of blood.
"Little brother, rest in peace, the one who killed you is going to join you soon!"
He thought so in his heart.
However, everything came to an abrupt halt in an instant, as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes unbelievably fixed on the scene before him!
The scimitar in his hand was really, truly, grasped by the man''srge hand, unable to advance an inch!
How was this possible?
Such a fast and powerful strike, how could he just grab it with one hand?
For a moment, his heart was filled with shock, and he stuttered to himself, is this even human?
Su Chen, of course, didn''t care about the shock in the other''s heart. After grasping the scimitar, a stream of True Yuan circted between his fingers, and with a gentle flick.
A buzzing sound followed, and the assassin''s wrist trembled; he then felt the scimitar escaping his control!
Su Chen snatched away the scimitar, and in the next instant, a dazzling series of knife motions shed, and the scimitar was positioned at the man''s throat!
The man hadn''t even seen clearly how it had happened, as everything seemed to have beenpleted within a moment.
"How about it? Still want to avenge your little brother?"
Su Chen''s soft voice resonated, very gentle, but to the ears of the assassin, it was like the voice of a devil!
"Who, who exactly are you?"
The man asked, trembling. He knew that the gap between him and his opponent was too wide, so vast that he had no power to resist!
He was an SS-ranked expert, after all; who on Earth was this person!
"To let you reincarnate in peace, I''ll tell you!"
Su Chen''s scimitar gently traced over the man''s major artery, and a voice fell:
"King of the Underworld."
Immediately, the man clutched the neck where blood was gushing out, looking at Su Chen with astonishment!
The King of the Underworld? He was the King of the Underworld?
What exactly had we, two brothers, done? To actually try assassinating the King of the Underworld?
At this moment, he felt that God had yed a colossal joke on him!
If he had known it was the King of the Underworld they were to assassinate, let alone 3 billion US dors, even 300 billion or 3 trillion wouldn''t tempt him to ept the job!
Because you can earn money only if you''re alive to spend it!
