"Boom boom boom—"
Thunder rumbled in the sky, and the torrential rain intensified.
Ye Feng stood in the downpour, clearly seeing Nisen and Jack charging out of the forest ahead.
Nisen was wearing a black robe and a black mask, while Jack was dressed in a black martial arts uniform, also wearing a mask to conceal his features.
Ye Feng also saw bloodstains on Nisen's body, the blood on his dagger being washed away by the rain.
Furthermore, Ye Feng sensed their auras!
Assassins!
Ye Feng immediately determined that both of them were at the two-star War God realm, and they had just killed someone in the forest.
Who was that person?
Ye Feng didn't dwell on the question. Instead, he shouted loudly, "I am Ye Feng, captain of the Dragon Country's Military's War Dragon Special Forces. The experts from the Dragon Country's Martial Arts Department will arrive shortly. Stop your actions immediately!"
There was no response.
Nisen and Jack dismissed Ye Feng's words as nonsense, completely ignoring his warning. They sprinted through the rain like lightning, exuding a terrifying killing intent!
Ye Feng felt the terrifying killing intent emanating from Nisen and Jack, as if a knife was at his throat, his hair standing on end!
Swish!
Ye Feng dared not continue to threaten Nisen and Jack by invoking the military and martial arts departments. Instead, he dodged and prepared to flee.
Because he could see that the two assassins were completely ignoring his warning and had revealed killing intent towards him!
His rationality told him that if he stayed there, the two assassins would kill both him and Jiang Wuming!
In this moment of life and death crisis, he stopped thinking about mission failure and focused on survival.
However—
As soon as Ye Feng moved, his expression changed drastically!
Because he saw that Nisen and Jack had separated.
Nisen continued forward, heading towards the villa, while Jack charged towards Ye Feng!
This meant Jack intended to kill Ye Feng!
Ye Feng instantly understood this, his heart trembled, and he immediately changed his course, heading towards the villa where Jiang Wuming was.
Although he was always confident, he knew with certainty that if Jack was determined to hunt him, he would have no chance of escape.
On the contrary, he would be caught and killed by Jack in a very short time!
In such a situation, he chose to head towards Jiang Wuming's villa, holding onto a sliver of hope – if the leader of the War Dragon Hall was truly protecting Jiang Wuming in secret, then neither Jiang Wuming nor he would have to die!
"Jiang Wuming hasn't moved, still standing at the villa entrance. Someone must be protecting him in secret, otherwise, he wouldn't be so fearless."
As Ye Feng sprinted towards Jiang Wuming with all his might, he also observed Jiang Wuming's reaction and rejoiced internally, believing his gamble had paid off.
At the same time, Jack, seeing Ye Feng charge towards Jiang Wuming, returned to Nisen's side and charged towards the villa with him.
Although they had also seen Jiang Wuming's reaction and harbored some suspicion that the legendary leader of the War Dragon Hall was lurking in the shadows, they were now committed and had to act!
Of course, most importantly, Nisen and Jack had absolute confidence in their own strength.
One was at the peak of the two-star War God realm, the other at the ninth stage of the two-star War God realm, both proficient in assassination and possessing rich combat experience in life and death!
They believed that even if the leader of the War Dragon Hall appeared, they could kill him together!
"Both of them are two-star War Gods, and absolute overlords among them! Hurry, hurry, contact the leader of the War Dragon Hall and ask him to take action, otherwise, we will all die here!"
Soon, Ye Feng reached Jiang Wuming's side and shouted loudly.
At this moment, he completely forgot that when he was observing Jiang Wuming from a hillside a thousand meters away, he had said, "It's Jiang Wuming's good fortune for eight lifetimes to be protected by him"!
At this moment, seeking protection by Jiang Wuming's side, he pinned his hope of survival on Jiang Wuming.
To be precise, he pinned it on the leader of the War Dragon Hall behind Jiang Wuming.
At this moment, he was no longer as calm and composed as he was during his missions; he appeared panicked.
Because, in the face of an absolute power gap, any strategy was meaningless!
"You won't die."
Hearing Ye Feng's shout, and sensing the panic emanating from him, Jiang Wuming calmly uttered four words.
"Hoo..."
Upon hearing Jiang Wuming's words, Ye Feng's heart rejoiced, and he let out a long sigh of relief – since Jiang Wuming said so, it proved his judgment was correct, the leader of the War Dragon Hall was here!
At the same time, Nisen and Jack also heard Jiang Wuming's words, their brows twitched, and they simultaneously slowed down, carefully sensing their surroundings, searching for the traces of the leader of the War Dragon Hall.
"There are only three auras in the villa and its surroundings. Besides these two, there is a nine-star martial artist, the girl who followed that guy!"
After sensing, Jack quickly said, "That guy is bluffing us!"
"Whether he is bluffing us or not, we must act, but we need to be careful. If the leader of the War Dragon Hall truly appears, I will deal with him, and you will kill the target and the other two!"
Nisen responded coldly, making arrangements.
"Alright!"
Jack readily agreed.
With his strength at the ninth stage of the two-star War God realm, he was an overlord in this realm. Killing three nine-star martial artists was no different than slaughtering chickens for him!
After a brief exchange, Nisen and Jack accelerated again, charging towards the villa in the rain.
"Th-they're coming! Wh-where is he? Why hasn't the leader of the War Dragon Hall appeared yet?!"
Seeing Nisen and Jack about to charge over, Ye Feng's heart, which had settled, became anxious again, and panic reappeared on his face.
"Kid, stop acting. The leader of the War Dragon Hall isn't here at all!"
This time, before Jiang Wuming could speak, Nisen's voice, approaching from a distance, clearly reached Jiang Wuming and Ye Feng's ears.
The leader of the War Dragon Hall isn't here?
Then why is he so calm?!
Hearing Nisen's words, Ye Feng looked at Jiang Wuming with an expression of disbelief, his heart filled with questions.
"Kid, your act has been exposed by us, yet you still stand here so calmly. I must say, you are the bravest young man I've ever seen! Much stronger than the so-called captain of the War Dragon Special Forces by your side!"
Jack stopped along with Nisen and said with a smile, "He has disgraced the War Dragon Special Forces, while you have defended the dignity of Zhan Long Zhi Zi with your courage!"
Swish!
Facing Jack's taunt, Ye Feng felt neither shame nor anger. Instead, he flashed and directly sprinted towards the villa's wall.
At this point, he was certain that Nisen and Jack were telling the truth, and the leader of the War Dragon Hall was not here.
In such a situation, he and Jiang Wuming, even if they joined forces, could not withstand Nisen and Jack!
"I'm very curious, why aren't you running?"
Seeing Ye Feng flee, Nisen looked at Jiang Wuming with suspicion.
"When a hunter sees prey, why should they run?"
Jiang Wuming retorted.
