"Dong dong..."
Jiang Yi raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Who?"
A voice came from the room, filled with killing intent.
"Jiang Yi!"
Jiang Yi spoke directly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the room opened.
Jiang Yi strode in.
After closing the room door, he walked further inside.
In the inner room, a gaunt man with sharp eyes stood by the coffee table, arms crossed, his right hand holding a gleaming short knife.
The killing intent Jiang Yi had felt earlier emanated from him.
This man was none other than the foremost killer of Huaxia Country, Sha Huang.
"You are Jiang Yi?"
Sha Huang's voice was icy.
Jiang Yi ignored Sha Huang, instead looking towards Li Ping behind him.
Li Ping, tied to a chair, showed worry on her face as soon as she saw Jiang Yi.
"Leave quickly, don't mind me!"
Li Ping shouted at Jiang Yi.
She didn't want Jiang Yi to risk his life as well.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll be fine. I'm here to save you."
Jiang Yi replied.
After speaking, Jiang Yi scanned the room but did not see Bo Ren, which caused his brow to furrow.
"You're looking for Bo Ren, aren't you? He left long ago!"
Sha Huang's sharp gaze fixed on Jiang Yi, and he said coldly, "Bo Ren told me you have astonishing skills, that many top assassins have fallen at your hands. Today, I'll test you and see how capable you truly are."
"Are you Bo Ren's man?"
Jiang Yi asked.
"No, I merely made a deal with him!"
Sha Huang stated. "As the number one killer in Huaxia Country, I haven't encountered a worthy opponent in over a decade. Do you know how hollow and lonely it is to be invincible? Bo Ren found me and told me about you. Do you know how excited I was?"
Jiang Yi scoffed at this.
This guy, the top killer of Huaxia Country, probably had some skill, but Jiang Yi didn't take him seriously.
"Today, it's either you die or I die. I want to have a good fight with you. If you win, your mother lives. If you lose, I'll kill you and your mother!"
Sha Huang's eyes glinted with coldness.
"You want a fight, don't you? Fine, I'll fight you, but I have a condition!" Jiang Yi said.
"What condition?"
Sha Huang asked.
"Before we fight, release my mother!"
Jiang Yi stated. "You're holding my mother hostage, and I'm very worried about her safety. I won't be able to unleash my true strength. Then, you won't have a satisfying fight, which would be too boring! Besides, you're the number one killer in Huaxia Country; even if you win, it won't be honorable, will it?"
"Hmph!"
Sha Huang snorted. "I know what you're plotting, kid, but it's fine. To have a proper fight with you, I agree. But don't try any tricks, or I'll hunt you and your mother to the ends of the earth."
"Don't worry, I'm a man of my word!"
Jiang Yi replied.
Sha Huang walked towards Li Ping, swung his short knife, and cut the ropes binding her.
Li Ping quickly walked over.
"Mom, you go outside first!" Jiang Yi said.
"Don't be foolish. He's the number one killer in Huaxia Country. Leave quickly," Li Ping shouted.
"You don't need to worry about me!"
Jiang Yi said. "If this guy isn't dealt with, he'll be a big problem."
Although Li Ping was very worried about Jiang Yi, she still left the room.
Li Ping knew that Jiang Yi wouldn't listen to her, and staying would only be a burden.
After Li Ping left, Jiang Yi closed the room door.
"Alright, we can start!"
Jiang Yi smiled slightly.
"Swoosh!"
Sha Huang's short sword lunged towards Jiang Yi, swift as lightning, with an extremely cunning attack.
Sha Huang was the most formidable killer Jiang Yi had encountered.
Jiang Yi dared not be careless and quickly dodged Sha Huang's attack.
Seeing Jiang Yi dodge so easily, Sha Huang was momentarily stunned.
"You are indeed a master. I didn't pick the wrong person."
Sha Huang's eyes filled with chilling killing intent.
"But you are not a master in my eyes."
Jiang Yi smiled slightly. "You are no match for me. Today, I will cripple you and show you what true strength is."
With that, Jiang Yi clenched his fist and lunged towards Sha Huang.
Seeing this, Sha Huang also charged at Jiang Yi.
Sha Huang directly unleashed his ultimate move.
Jiang Yi once again easily evaded Sha Huang's attack and simultaneously landed a punch on Sha Huang's face.
This was not the end. Jiang Yi gave Sha Huang no chance to recover, raising his leg and delivering another kick to Sha Huang's body, sending him crashing into a corner of the wall.
Blood flowed from the corner of Sha Huang's mouth.
The once imposing Sha Huang was now in a sorry state, with three ribs broken and his nose shattered.
In just half a minute, Sha Huang was defeated.
"Hahaha... so exhilarating!"
Sha Huang threw his head back and laughed.
Then, Sha Huang used his hands to prop himself up, rose from the ground, and stared at Jiang Yi with bloodshot eyes.
"You are indeed strong, unbelievably strong. You don't seem human at all, more like a monster. But I fear nothing. Today, I will kill you myself."
Hearing this, Jiang Yi smiled slightly.
Sha Huang was no match for him at all.
If he didn't escape now, he never would.
The number one killer of Huaxia Country was nothing in his presence.
"I don't want to waste time, I need to finish you off quickly!"
Jiang Yi walked towards Sha Huang step by step.
A sinister smile spread across Sha Huang's face, and he gripped his short knife with his right hand, aiming directly for Jiang Yi's chest.
Simultaneously, Sha Huang, with his left hand, quickly grasped another short knife hidden at his waist and aimed for Jiang Yi's throat.
Sha Huang had sealed off all of Jiang Yi's escape routes.
For any ordinary person, this would have been a certain death.
But Jiang Yi easily evaded Sha Huang's fatal attacks.
At the same time, Jiang Yi's fist rained down on Sha Huang.
In the blink of an eye, Sha Huang lay on the ground, utterly defeated and barely breathing.
Sha Huang was not dead, but he had one breath left.
Sha Huang was completely defeated.
He was the number one killer in Huaxia Country, yet he was no match for Jiang Yi. He lay heavily wounded on the ground, while Jiang Yi was completely unharmed, a total one-sided annihilation.
Sha Huang's eyes were filled with unwillingness.
