Facing the berserk American assassin, Jiang Wuming wasted no time. He directly employed the "Thunderous Treasure Technique," combined with a mysterious and powerful internal energy cultivation method. In a head-on confrontation, he shattered the assassin’s left fist with a single punch. His momentum unabated, the punch then pierced the assassin’s left chest, crushing his heart.
“Pfft—”
The American assassin, bloodied, flew backward, spitting out a cloud of blood mixed with organ fragments. He then crashed heavily onto the ground with a dull thud, his body convulsing as his life entered its final moments.
The sound of the American assassin hitting the ground was exceptionally clear in the quiet night.
Whether it was Taishan, hidden in the woods, or Ye Feng, who had fled a hundred meters away, both heard the muffled thud and were jolted awake.
“How did he do it?”
At this moment, both Ye Feng and Taishan looked at Jiang Wuming standing tall outside the villa and the fallen American assassin, their shock intensifying. The same question filled their minds.
They were both aware of the forbidden technique known as ‘Berserk,’ and judging by the assassin’s berserk state, they could assess his combat power to be nearly equivalent to an ordinary two-star War God.
Because of this, when they saw Jiang Wuming actively attack the assassin and intend to go head-to-head, they believed Jiang Wuming was courting death!
However, after the head-on clash, Jiang Wuming stood tall and unharmed, while the American assassin, spitting blood, had been sent flying and suffered unimaginable grievous injuries!
This outcome was completely opposite to what Taishan and Ye Feng had imagined, filling their hearts with bewilderment!
“With our combined strength, even a two-star War God wouldn't be our match. Yet, not only did we fail to kill you, but we all died by your hand—How can you, a mere nine-star martial artist, be this strong?!”
As if to respond to Taishan and Ye Feng, the American assassin’s once vacant eyes suddenly regained their luster. In his final moments, during a deathbed resurgence, his eyes widened as he stared intently at Jiang Wuming.
There was no reply.
Jiang Wuming looked at the American assassin with a blank expression.
“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Do you believe me?”
Gazing at Jiang Wuming’s calm face, the American assassin suddenly thought of what Jiang Wuming had said before. His body convulsed, and he died completely.
Under the night sky, his eyes remained wide open, a look of dying unwillingness etched on his face!
It seemed that even in the underworld, he was not reconciled!
He couldn’t understand how Jiang Wuming, a mere nine-star martial artist, could be so monstrously powerful!
“He fought three of them alone and killed three assassins?!”
At the same time, a hundred meters away, Ye Feng stood there, looking at Jiang Wuming as if he had seen a ghost.
Even though Jiang Wuming’s actions had already stirred immense waves in his heart, hearing the American assassin’s words at this moment left him completely dumbfounded!
As a sharp blade of the military, he considered himself one of the most powerful martial arts geniuses on the planet, if not in the entire Dragon Country. His strength and knowledge far surpassed ordinary martial arts prodigies.
With his own strength, facing the berserk American assassin, he had only the option to flee. Yet, Jiang Wuming fought three of them alone and killed all three assassins!
At this moment, he seriously suspected that he was hallucinating!
Taishan, hidden in the woods, also looked dazed, finding everything the American assassin said to be like a fantasy, too dreamlike!
Dreamlike?
Ye Feng, ahead of them, couldn't help but ask, “Is… is what he said true? Did you kill three assassins by yourself??”
“Yes.”
Jiang Wuming glanced at Ye Feng expressionlessly and gave his answer.
“Uh…”
Hearing this, Ye Feng’s mouth fell open, his face filled with disbelief. He stood there motionless, like a lifelike wooden carving.
Jiang Wuming’s answer directly overturned Ye Feng’s understanding of martial arts—how could a nine-star martial artist be this powerful?!
In the woods, Taishan was in the same state.
The Tai family was the foremost martial arts family in South Port. As its patriarch, Taishan was well-versed in ancient martial arts history.
Three overlords in the realm of one-star War God, who joined forces to kill a nine-star martial artist, only to be counter-killed!
Taishan was certain that such an event had never occurred in the history of global martial arts!
He also believed that if this matter were to spread, it would undoubtedly cause a level twelve earthquake in the global martial arts community!
Amidst his shock, Taishan’s feelings also became conflicted.
On one hand, the heaven-defying combat power displayed by Jiang Wuming made him doubt whether he could defeat Jiang Wuming if he were to act.
Furthermore, if he were to continue his assassination attempt on Jiang Wuming, he would have to wait until Ye Feng left—he dared not act in front of Ye Feng!
He dared not kill Ye Feng either; otherwise, even if the Dragon Country’s Martial Arts Department did not pursue him, the wrath of the military could incinerate him and the Tai family to ashes!
On the other hand, considering how powerful Jiang Wuming was as a nine-star martial artist, if he were allowed to continue growing, by the time Jiang Wuming became a War God and ascended to the Tai family, he would become the Tai family’s nightmare!
While Taishan was caught in his dilemma, a figure clad in a black robe quietly approached Taishan like a ghost, holding a black dagger.
Niesen.
Originally, he and his partner, Jack, had been concealed at a distance, observing everything happening at the villa where Jiang Wuming was. They had personally witnessed Jiang Wuming kill the three assassins.
This outcome had also shocked them!
After their shock, they decided to execute their assassination plan ahead of schedule.
All of this was due to Ye Feng’s appearance!
In their view, with Ye Feng present, Taishan could no longer act as cannon fodder.
In addition, they believed that Ye Feng might have already reported the events here to the Dragon Country’s Martial Arts Department and the Military before appearing.
Under such circumstances, if they continued to wait according to their original plan, they might attract powerful individuals from the Martial Arts Department, losing the opportunity to hunt Jiang Wuming and resulting in mission failure!
If the mission failed, death would await them!
Therefore, they changed their plan and decided to act immediately. However, before moving against Jiang Wuming, they intended to kill Taishan and Ye Feng first, to ensure that their operation would not be exposed.
Danger!
A few seconds later, before Taishan could make a decision, he suddenly felt a strong sense of unease. His combat instincts made him subconsciously want to leave his hiding spot.
Shuash!
At that moment…
A black light flashed by.
“Pfft—”
Then, blood splattered.
Taishan had no time to dodge and was pierced through the back by Niesen’s blade!
Niesen, possessing ten stages of two-star War God combat power, assassinated Taishan as easily as slaughtering a chicken, killing him with a single blow!
“You… you…”
Taishan struggled to turn around and saw Niesen, clad in a black robe and wearing a black mask.
Shuash!
Niesen pulled out his dagger, flashed his figure, and, together with his partner Jack, who had blocked Taishan’s escape route, they dashed out of the woods.
More assassins?!
At the same time, Ye Feng, who had been stunned, was jolted awake by the movement in the woods and his gaze swept towards the woods ahead.
At the entrance of the villa, Jiang Wuming not only sensed the commotion in the woods but also perceived the auras of Niesen and Jack for the first time with his powerful spiritual sense.
The cannon fodder is dead, the main players have appeared.
The second hunting performance has begun its curtain call!
