Chapter 229: Let's See If You Can Make It Back Alive (Bonus Chapter)
At the moment Ren Feng hugged Xia Wenxue and rolled towards the ground, from above, two daggers as white as cold glints stabbed downwards!
The pink curtains were slashed and tattered by the daggers in an instant, and the daggers continued to cut towards the bed, slicing open the fine blanket with a swish!
Chong Jiu wore a sinister yet confident smile, and with a flick of his foot, in almost no time, the daggers spun and chased towards Ren Feng.
Everything happened extremely suddenly, and Xia Wenxue did not expect there to be an assassin in the room, leaving her stunned in place.
Ren Feng reacted extremely quickly. Seeing the assassin chasing again, he held Xia Wenxue with his left arm and slapped the ground with his right hand, bouncing straight up from the ground just as Chong Jiu attacked!
A cold gleam flashed in Chong Jiu's eyes, and with a twist of his right wrist, the daggers' direction changed fiercely to stab upwards.
But at the moment Ren Feng bounced up holding Xia Wenxue, he kicked out strongly with his right foot, directly kicking the dagger's momentum back.
Chong Jiu's previously sinister smile suddenly froze, his face slightly tensed, and he hesitated not in darting backward.
Ren Feng landed with Xia Wenxue, and the entire room returned to silence, as if what had just happened was nonexistent.
Xia Wenxue appeared a bit shaken, looking at the tattered curtains. If not for them still being there, she would have thought it was all an illusion.
The whole incident took only three seconds; three seconds ago, she had kicked Ren Feng, and three seconds later, she was on the ground due to an assassination attempt.
Ren Feng squinted his eyes; the room was utterly silent, showing the opponent's veteran status.
"Since you're here, why hide in the shadows? An incoming guest, should I invite you for a drink?"
Ren Feng said calmly, but within him, True Qi mobilized, capturing any unusual sounds in the room.
But the room remained silent.
In Ren Feng's embrace, Xia Wenxue asked worriedly, "Should we turn on the light?"
Ren Feng raised his hand, sending a stream of True Qi flying towards the light switch on the wall. But nearly at the same instant Ren Feng made his move, a subtle noise came from behind!
Without hesitation, Ren Feng whirled around, his hands laced with immense True Qi, instantly clashing with the opponent!
His hands, like swimming dragons, swiftly brushed aside Chong Jiu's wrists, diverting the dagger's attack, then a tremor of True Qi from his right hand sent the dagger in Chong Jiu's hand flying!
Ren Feng reacted swiftly, his right hand forming a fist aimed at Chong Jiu's face.
Chong Jiu was stunned by Ren Feng's might; their brief exchange disarmed him, forcing him into a hasty defense.
The clash shook Chong Jiu, erasing his confident smile. Under Ren Feng's formidable strength, he stumbled backward without control.
It wasn't over; Ren Feng, moving swiftly, followed up with a backhand slap to Chong Jiu's chest before delivering a palm strike!
These three moves formed a seamless combo of fist, backhand, and palm!
Chong Jiu groaned as he was sent backward; he wanted to hide away but found Ren Feng giving no chances, striking lethally!
Moreover, Ren Feng's power and speed were beyond what Chong Jiu imagined, overwhelmingly formidable.
Could it be this man was also one of the top elite?
"Trying to kill me? Let's see if you have the luck to return alive!"
Ren Feng's tone was chilling, with unrestrained killing intent, his hand clawed at Chong Jiu's face!
Startled, Chong Jiu decisively hurled a dagger towards Xia Wenxue in the distance.
"Courting death!"
Ren Feng shifted his attack, snatching that dagger, while Chong Jiu swiftly retreated into the shadows.
Ren Feng sneered, seeing the ghostly silhouette, then hurled the dagger he'd just caught towards the dark retreat of Chong Jiu!
A muffled grunt sounded as the dagger struck.
The room fell silent again, the lights unfixed, darkened by Chong Jiu beforehand.
Yet it didn't matter now since Ren Feng gained the upper hand.
Chong Jiu and he had crossed twice; the first time gave Chong Jiu a slight upper hand due to timing, but Ren Feng's quick adaptability and kick turned it around.
During the second bout, Chong Jiu seized the opportunity while Ren Feng moved to switch the light.
But unexpectedly, Ren Feng subdued him entirely this time.
His speed, body technique, reflexes, and strength, all dominating!
For the first time, shock flickered in Chong Jiu's eyes, concealed in the shadows.
The dagger embedded deeply in his body; he dared not easily pull it out, nor act recklessly.
This target was immensely powerful.
A cold gleam flickered in Chong Jiu's eyes as he quickly schemed for any method to kill him?
In terms of strength, he was no match for the man before him, but...
Chong Jiu's gaze fell upon Xia Wenxue, a cold smile appearing at his lips.
Ren Feng shielded Xia Wenxue while awaiting the other's emergence.
Suddenly, Ren Feng sensed movement behind him, with a sound piercing the air.
Just as he began to turn, a figure lunged from the side towards Xia Wenxue, wildness in his eyes.
Xia Wenxue stood bewildered, fear coloring her face.
"Courting death!"
Ren Feng caught the dagger between two fingers, swiftly lifted his left foot, and kicked Chong Jiu.
This kick was exceptionally swift, driven by Ren Feng's anger.
Madness on Chong Jiu's face stiffened, then Xia Wenxue watched the assassin meant for her, fly off to the side!
Bam!
He crashed hard against the wall.
Ren Feng flicked his fingers, sending the remaining dagger directly into Chong Jiu's scapula.
The intense pain immobilized Chong Jiu.
Ren Feng approached with a grim face.
"I never thought I'd fail today," Chong Jiu's lips trickling with blood, "Given another chance, I'd never miss."
"I'll give you. Damn!"
Ren Feng slapped Chong Jiu's face, dragging him out like a dead dog.
"Answer my questions." Ren Feng eyed Chong Jiu coldly, "I don't want nonsense."
Chong Jiu wore a cold smile, "You merely wish to know who's after your life, thinking I wouldn't realize."
"If you know, spare the words." Ren Feng met Chong Jiu's gaze icily, "The answer better satisfy me, else you'll wish for death."
"Really? I'd like to experience that..."
Chong Jiu's arrogance lingered, but in the next second, his pupils widened, overwhelmed by intense pain, compelling even his strong nerves to cry out.
"Ah!"
