Chapter 53: Friend or Foe? (1)
The assassin outside the tent was just a bait. How should Zhou Yan, Shan Zhen and others deal with the real killer in front of them? And can they resist it? Because it was too sudden and a surprise attack, it was impossible to call for help. Zhou Yan, Shan Zhen and others could only rely on themselves...
"Who are you?"
"A dying man doesn't need to know."
Zhou Yan's question was simply ignored by one of the assassins, which undoubtedly made Zhou Yan angry.
"What a joke! You guys think you can kill me?"
"Of course, go ahead!"
After answering Zhou Yan's words, the assassins began to attack collectively, and Zhou Yan and others immediately counterattacked.
During the fight, Zhou Yan and Shan Zhen both felt that the enemy was very skilled. Assassins with such skills were rare and it was very difficult to deal with them. Fortunately, Zhou Yan's personal guards, Zuo Yu and others were also very skilled, so they were not overwhelmed or killed instantly. But after all, the other side had more people and both sides suffered casualties. Zhou Yan and Shan Zhen were no match for them. Faced with the assassins' fast and neat skills, they had to face two or even three opponents, and they had to protect Yin Yin. Except for Zhou Yan, Shan Zhen and Zuo Yu, the others seemed very passive.
Soon Zhou Yan and his men retreated to a corner of the tent, which made it easier to defend. There were only three people left on the other side, and only Zhou Yan, Shan Zhen, Zuo Yu, and Yin Yin were left on this side. In terms of strength, it seemed that Zhou Yan's side still had an absolute advantage...
“It’s really difficult.”
Zuo Yu felt that this was the first time he faced an assassin of such skills, and also the first time he was restrained by an assassin. He had faced many assassins in the past, but he had never encountered an opponent as tough as this one.
"You are from the Black Wolf, right?"
During the truce between the two sides, Zhou Yan suddenly spoke up. Although it was called a truce, in fact it was because the other party did not dare to act rashly. The strength of Zhou Yan and his men was already very obvious. If they acted rashly, they would only be eliminated. Zhou Yan also did not dare to attack casually. Although he had the advantage, if he acted rashly, it would likely allow the other party to take advantage of him. After all, he had to protect Yin Yin.
"Humph, you are worthy of being Prince Jing. You wouldn't forget our existence."
Hearing the other party's tone, Zhou Yan knew that his guess was correct. In fact, he should have thought of it from the beginning. He had only encountered such a powerful opponent once, and that was the "Black Wolf" he encountered on the snowy mountain. He just didn't expect that the one he met this time seemed to be more powerful than that time?
The two sides entered a stalemate, and neither dared to attack easily. At this moment...
"What a bunch of idiots."
As a clear female voice was heard, everyone's eyes turned to the distance where the voice came from. At the door of the tent, a masked woman in black and eight black-clad assassins came into the station. Are they reinforcements?
"Three guardians!"
The remaining three assassins immediately saluted the leading female assassin who had just arrived. When Zhou Yan and the other two heard that she was a guardian, they thought she must be even more skilled? Regardless of the opponent's skills, they had finally gained the upper hand, but at this time, the enemy reinforcements came? Noticing that they came in from the main door of the tent, the situation outside was obvious. There were no reinforcements, and Zhou Yan and the other two had to face the assassins in front of them on their own.
"I'm so useless. They actually made me so embarrassed?"
"Please forgive me, Three Guardians."
This woman is the third guardian spirit. Why would she attack Zhou Yan and Yin Yin? It would be more accurate to say that the main target was Yin Yin, because the assassin first appeared in front of Yin Yin.
"We'll talk about the punishment later... You are worthy of being Prince Jing and General Shan. You can survive even facing the assassins of our superiors."
Huan Ling looked directly at Zhou Yan and the others, expressing admiration literally, but actually there was a hint of sarcasm in his words. A top-notch master? Not to mention that their hands were indeed extraordinary, wouldn't Huan Ling, as a guardian, be even more difficult to deal with?
" Who are you?"
"Ah, I almost forgot to introduce myself. I am Phantom, one of the guardians under the command of Wind Wolf."
"Wind Wolf?"
After hearing Huan Ling's introduction, Zhou Yan and others felt a little confused. Isn't it the 'Black Wolf'?
"Prince Jing wants to ask why it's not 'Black Wolf'? 'Black Wolf' is just what the outside world calls us. 'Wind Wolf' is the name of our organization. But it's no wonder. Rumors are just rumors. After all, no one who has seen us and knows our real name is still alive. Once the prey we 'Wind Wolves' target, they will never escape."
Zhou Yan and the others all knew what Huan Ling meant. Not only could she see through their thoughts, she also said that any prey they targeted would inevitably die. Now she was probably referring to them, right?
"Who exactly is your target?"
After getting to the bottom of it, Zhou Yan still wanted to know the answer to this question, because if the other party's target was him, he would not have appeared in front of Yin Yin first. But if it was Yin Yin, it was hard for Zhou Yan to imagine who would hire the world's number one killer organization to kill her. Moreover, it was difficult to connect all the things that happened on the snowy mountain, so it was difficult for Zhou Yan to confirm who the enemy's target was. The opportunity was rare, and he could not miss it because Yin Yin was also present.
"Well, it's okay to tell you, but... that also depends on whether you have the ability to make me ask."
The phantom spirit instantly changed the atmosphere around him. A cold and sharp look flashed in his eyes, and he slowly raised his hand. Zhou Yan and the others knew that this was a gesture before launching an attack, so they hurriedly took a fighting stance.
