Young Master in Flower City

The sniper assassin was trembling all over, drenched in cold sweat, and his entire body was on edge. Just moments ago, this person was still a thousand meters away by the roadside, but in the blink of an eye, he appeared behind him. How could the sniper assassin not be afraid?

This was no human; it was clearly a god.

No, even more terrifying than a god.

He had been an assassin for so many years, but he had never seen such a person. In the blink of an eye, a thousand-meter distance was covered in a second, and without even using the stairs. How could any human achieve that?

"Oh my god—a ghost!"

"No, oh my god, a deity!" The sniper assassin's legs went weak, and he dropped to his knees with a thud, beginning to beg for mercy: "Oh great deity, this... this has nothing to do with me! I'm just taking money to solve problems for others. If you want someone, find the real culprit. It really... really has nothing to do with me! Oh great deity, please overlook the faults of common folk like me..."

"Shut up!" A cold voice slowly emanated from Xiao Tianyu's mouth.

Suddenly, the assassin jolted, covering his mouth with both hands. What a joke, when a deity tells you to shut up, how could you not? A wave of the deity's hand, and he would be reduced to nothing.

Although he had never seen a real god, he had seen plenty on TV, and weren't the gods in TV shows always eradicating people with just a wave of their hand?

"Who sent you?" Xiao Tianyu asked coolly.

Upon hearing this, a tremor ran through the assassin's heart: "I... I'm just in it for the money, I really don't know who the employer is... Hey, hey... oh great deity, please spare this common individual, I... I really don't know who it is!"

At this moment, the sniper assassin felt his body lift off the ground uncontrollably, a clear sign of impending death.

Of course, Xiao Tianyu didn't doubt this sniper assassin's words. After all, assassins never asked who the employer was. As long as the target was killed, the money automatically transferred.

"In that case, you have no value alive!" Xiao Tianyu's voice was chilling.

Upon hearing this, the sniper assassin's heart trembled: "No... no... I have value!"

"Let's hear it!"

"Besides me, there are several other assassins ambushed ahead..."

"It's a pity that this information cannot save your life!" With that, Xiao Tianyu's eyes gleamed with a cold light, thoroughly frightening the sniper assassin, who immediately stammered, "No... no..."

Bang~

With a loud bang, just one look, and the sniper assassin turned into a mist of blood. Xiao Tianyu's jet-black eyes remained inscrutable. Since someone wanted to kill him, things were becoming increasingly interesting.

Then, with a flickering shadow, Xiao Tianyu beckoned a streak of light and disappeared from the rooftop, landing next to Shangguan Biyue in just a single breath.

Shangguan Biyue's beautiful eyes gazed at Xiao Tianyu, and she asked, "Did you find out who wants to kill you?"

"No!" Xiao Tianyu shook his head, not paying it any mind.

But Shangguan Biyue still felt worried. Although Xiao Tianyu had just caught the bullet, what if he hadn't, or if he discovered it a bit later? It could have truly cost Xiao Tianyu his life.

Thus, Shangguan Biyue suggested, "Why don't we go back home?"

"Alright!" Xiao Tianyu nodded. But after taking a few steps, he saw Shangguan Biyue suddenly shiver, causing him to ask in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"To be able to hire a world-class assassin to kill you, the employer must not be simple. I suspect it might be Tianyu International," Shangguan Biyue's beautiful eyes twinkled; she had seen the strength of Tianyu International in the café.

Tianyu International?

This woman, is she crazy? Not just crazy, completely delusional.

Xiao Tianyu rolled his eyes at Shangguan Biyue. Would Tianyu International need to hire an assassin to take someone out?

So Xiao Tianyu reached out with his right hand, touching Shangguan Biyue's forehead, which puzzled Shangguan Biyu, prompting her to ask, "What are you doing?"

"I'm just checking if you have a fever!" Xiao Tianyu replied earnestly, "Strange, the temperature is normal. Why are you spouting nonsense?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Biyue was quite annoyed. Did this scoundrel think I was crazy? I'm perfectly normal, alright? And I'm only worrying about you. Is there any need to insult me like this?

Thinking of this, Shangguan Biyue puffed up and said, "Tianyu, I'm serious!"

"I'm serious too!"

"…" Shangguan Biyue felt speechless. Why does this scoundrel never act properly around me? Where did the cold and abstinent demeanor go? Did a dog swallow it?

"Let's go!" Xiao Tianyu held Shangguan Biyue's right hand.

"Hey, hey... Where are we going?"

"Didn't you say we should go home?"

This... this sentence, why do I feel like there's another meaning to it?

However, for the sake of Xiao Tianyu's safety, she had no choice but to prepare to return home, like a lamb entering a tiger's den.

...

Central Manor.

Shangguan Biyue and Xiao Tianyu arrived at the doorstep, the automatic sensing lock opened, Shangguan Biyue stepped inside, only to find Xiao Tianyu standing still at the door.

Shangguan Biyue's beautiful eyes flickered with doubt as she asked, "Why aren't you coming in?"

"You go in first, I have something to deal with," Xiao Tianyu said with a smile.

Shangguan Biyue expressed confusion: "We're already home, what could there possibly be? Surely the assassin wouldn't dare come to the house?"

"..." Xiao Tianyu said nothing.

Shangguan Biyue raised an eyebrow: "Could... could it really be that they came to the house?"

"Stop nagging!" With that, Xiao Tianyu pushed Shangguan Biyue into the villa, just about to close the door when a voice came: "Wow~ Such a beauty, I like it!"

As the voice fell, a shadow flickered in the night sky, disappearing in an instant, causing Shangguan Biyue's heart to tighten: "An Iga Clan ninja from the East?"

Shangguan Biyue did have some understanding of the Iga Clan ninjas. According to the history records of the Martial Combat Realm, centuries ago, a master from an unknown island nation challenged Zhongyuan, and it was this type of Iga Clan ninja, with their elusive movements and invisible killings, quite similar to the Phantom Killers of the Assassin's Guild.

However, the concealment techniques of the Iga Clan ninjas surpassed even the Phantom Killers, reaching the supreme level of soundless, traceless, and invisible assassination.

"Tianyu?" Shangguan Biyue said.

"Just go inside, I've got it covered!" Xiao Tianyu pushed Shangguan Biyue into the villa and closed the door with a bang.

However, simultaneously, a blade gleamed in the night, releasing a frosty, murderous aura, attacking Xiao Tianyu.

The blade had just manifested when the person had already vanished.

Suddenly, Xiao Tianyu extended his right hand, pinching the Samurai Sword between two fingers and snapped it with a swift force: "Crack~"

The revealing blade of the Samurai Sword was snapped, startling the Iga Clan ninja hidden in the dark night.

The shock naturally caused a fluctuation in heartbeat, Xiao Tianyu's lips curled slightly, and he flicked the broken Samurai Sword tip at an incredible speed. The next second: "Squelch~"

Blood splattered in the dark night, and the Iga Clan ninja grunted: "Bastard!"

As the voice dropped, the figure vanished into the vast dark night, silent and traceless. However, Xiao Tianyu's lips curled into a cold smile; such petty tricks could never evade his senses.
