Chapter 243: Chapter 243: The Tragic Assassin
The middle-aged man, facing the pursuit of the brothers Xu Yunshan and Xu Xiao, was not captured, but his escape speed was slowed down.
Yang Fei charged at this moment, chasing in a straight line. He quickly formed a triangular encirclement with the Xu brothers, cutting off the opponent’s escape route.
Seeing Yang Fei, a young man, daring to block his path, the man’s eyes flickered with ferocity as he angrily said, "You think you’re incredible for killing Yan Zhongshan? You’re asking for death!"
Amidst his words, he chose to break through from Yang Fei’s position.
Clearly, in his eyes, Yang Fei had some strength, but compared to Xu Yunshan and Xu Xiao, he was much weaker. He was confident that he could kill Yang Fei with one strike.
Xu Yunshan and Xu Xiao, seeing the man rushing toward Yang Fei, could not help but reveal a strange expression.
In their hearts, the last time Yang Fei had left, he had sent Xu Xiao flying with a punch; his strength had already surpassed the Unique Tier, and he might have stepped into the Innate Realm.
Now this guy actually chose to break through from Yang Fei’s side—it was akin to seeking death.
Facing the expert charging toward him, Yang Fei did not dare to be overly confident.
He gave his all and used the move "Tide."
Having already displayed his formidable combat power in front of the Xu brothers, he now had to maintain his image in their presence.
That day, hand-in-hand with Qin Yanyang, he had sent Xu Xiao flying with one move. Today, alone, using the second form of the Sky Splitting Divine Fist ’Tide’, he should achieve the same effect.
"Bang!"
The two collided and immediately separated.
Yang Fei swayed, involuntarily retreating three to four meters backward, his expression showing a trace of shock.
But the other man fared even worse, flying out like a kite with a broken string, already spewing blood in midair.
He first felt that Yang Fei’s punch was indeed astonishingly powerful, almost equal to his own. Still, before he could recover from his surprise, another wave of brutal force surged toward him like raging tides, one after another, relentless and unstoppable.
After flying more than ten meters and crashing to the ground, the man turned pale, his internal energy in turmoil, his True Qi hardly able to continue. He stared at Yang Fei in shock and blurted out, "You... how can you be so powerful?"
After Yang Fei deployed that move, his True Yuan was also on the brink of collapse, and he couldn’t help but be internally alarmed.
The power of the Unique Tier was indeed daunting. In his current condition, using Tide was still not enough to kill the man instantly; it only inflicted injury.
But his goal had been achieved.
With Xu Yunshan and Xu Xiao present, the man was now severely injured and no longer capable of escaping.
Suppressing the tumultuous True Qi within him, Yang Fei gave the Xu brothers a look, then strode back to join Qin Yanyang’s side.
Qin Yanyang quickly took his hand, generously transferring her True Yuan into Yang Fei’s body to calm the chaos within him.
Yang Fei soon felt the nearly uncontrolled True Qi within him being soothed, bringing an unparalleled relief. He turned his head to look at Qin Yanyang and smiled at her gratefully.
Qin Yanyang returned the smile gently.
Yet, deep inside, she was secretly astonished.
The fact that Yang Fei had made that Unique Tier warrior cough up blood with just one move demonstrated just how terrifying his combat power was.
Even if she were to recover to her peak, facing that move from Yang Fei would be impossible to withstand.
Although Yang Fei himself had been on the verge of losing control after that move, its power was indeed too strong.
Just how strong was this husband of hers?
Could it be that he wasn’t boasting when he claimed to have National Guardian Level strength at his peak?
That was just too outrageous.
While Qin Yanyang was internally shocked, she couldn’t help but feel a bit defeated.
She was the Heavenly Pride Girl of the Divine Continent Martial World, a prodigy with superlative talent in cultivation.
Now, there was someone with even greater talent than her, and even though that person was her husband, she felt some dissatisfaction and competitive spirit.
Xu Yunshan and Xu Xiao, receiving Yang Fei’s hint, dared not let the man escape. They could not care less about ganging up and took advantage of the man’s injury to attack together.
Although the man also had Unique Tier power, being injured by Yang Fei and facing the combined attack of the Xu brothers, he was quickly beaten until he spit blood and was barely alive before they finally subdued him.
Taking advantage of the moment, Yang Fei stabilized his internal True Yuan with the help of Qin Yanyang’s True Qi.
He first went to Zhang Long’s side and after checking on him, his face grew serious as he said, "We need to bring him in and treat him immediately."
Xu Xingzhou, heart racing, quickly carried Zhang Long and followed behind Yang Fei.
He had been getting along extremely well with Zhang Long during his time in Binhai and had come to consider him a friend, so he didn’t want Zhang Long to run into trouble.
Half an hour later, thanks to Yang Fei’s efforts to save him, Zhang Long’s injuries stabilized, and he narrowly escaped death.
It helped that he was a master of inner strength with a certain amount of inner strength protecting his body and the fact that the other person had only struck casually without a real intention to take Zhang Long’s life, which allowed Zhang Long to fortunately avoid disaster.
After healing Zhang Long, Yang Fei took a moment to regulate his breathing and then squinted his eyes as he walked toward another private room.
There, a man lay on the ground, at death’s door and covered in blood, while Xu Yunshan and Xu Xiao were standing guard beside him.
Seeing Yang Fei arrive with Qin Yanyang, Li Xuanyu, and others, Xu Yunshan and Xu Xiao quickly stood up.
"Miss Qin, Mr. Yang," Xu Yunshan greeted them courteously.
With a slight smile and a nod, Qin Yanyang said, "Thank you both for your help just now."
Xu Yunshan felt a rush of joy and hurriedly said, "It was nothing, serving Miss Qin and Mr. Yang is our duty, and besides, we weren’t of much help, it was all thanks to Mr. Yang’s intervention that we managed to capture this man."
Yang Fei asked, "You don’t recognize him either?"
Xu Yunshan shook his head, and Xu Xiao also said, "No, we’ve never seen him before. We’ve asked him several times just now, but this guy is tight-lipped."
"Didn’t think of committing suicide?" Yang Fei asked with a smile.
Xu Xiao was startled, then shook his head, "No."
Yang Fei laughed, "So he still fears death, huh?"
At these words, the man lying on the ground shook slightly and looked up at Yang Fei with a mixture of respect and fear in his eyes.
"Talk, who are you, and what are you doing here?" Yang Fei asked as the man looked at him.
The man thought for a moment, then let out a sigh and said, "I miscalculated. I didn’t expect to encounter so many formidable people gathered here. Hahaha, it’s really damn frustrating."
"Are you fond of wasting words?" Yang Fei frowned.
The man choked, his face turning purplish-red with anger.
After all, he was also a martial artist of Unique Tier, and Yang Fei was not showing him the respect he deserved.
But really not wanting to die, he could only bear it and said, "My name is Wang Hui, I came to kill her."
As he spoke, he pointed at Li Xuanyu.
Everyone was taken aback.
They had considered the possibility that the man had come for Yang Fei or possibly Qin Yanyang, but no one had expected he was after Li Xuanyu.
They all looked at Li Xuanyu with puzzled expressions.
Li Xuanyu was clearly surprised as well, but she was relatively calm, her brows slightly furrowed as she looked at Wang Hui and asked, "Are you an assassin, employed by the Li Family’s Financial Group to kill me?"
"Correct," Wang Hui admitted openly, nodding his head.
He was actually feeling very aggrieved.
When he received the mission, he was speechless, feeling that the organization was overestimating its requirement to kill merely a Korean tycoon’s princess—was it really necessary to involve someone of his stature?
But what he didn’t expect was to encounter two Unique Tier experts from the Xu Family as soon as he arrived.
He was dumbfounded by that.
Since when did the Xu Family serve as bodyguards for a Korean financial group?
When Qin Yanyang and Yang Fei showed up, his despair deepened.
Damn it, even the young miss of the Qin Family was here?
If there had been only one of them, he wouldn’t have feared at all, but to his misfortune, there were three beings of the same realm as him present.
So he did not hesitate to try and leave, but while Qin Yanyang had not taken action, Yang Fei had struck him down with a move.
He was incredibly frustrated.
He had never encountered such a terrible situation in his career.
So now, being interrogated, he didn’t hide anything, knowing well that he had no chance to escape and the only way not to die was to cooperate completely.
Li Xuanyu asked, "Who is it, Li Zhongze or Li Zhongkai?"
