The scene in the castle's main hall was utterly chaotic.
Swords, spears, and cannons roared, crisscrossing the battlefield.
After a fierce clash, Chu Liyue and Chu Nanfeng each took a step back and leaned against each other back to back.
Chu Liyue's cool gaze swept across the entire room, and she couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Hasn't Ah Jie returned yet?"
Chu Nanfeng casually kicked over two assassins who tried to approach, then spoke thoughtfully:
"He probably discovered something, but don't worry too much. With his abilities, he'll be fine."
Even so, Chu Liyue still felt a little irritated.
Xiao Wujie was not feeling well at the moment and had been out of her sight for a while. Although she knew he was not a child, she still couldn't help but worry.
And for some reason, ever since entering the castle, she has had a strange sense of anxiety, as if something bad is about to happen.
She frowned slightly, then her feet moved instantly, her long hair fluttering in the wind, as she once again charged towards the three S-class assassins.
Surrounded by a group of assassins in black, three S-class assassins stood with Vito Rosso.
They looked somewhat disheveled, their masks were loose, their hands holding long knives trembled slightly, and a little blood was slowly flowing down their arms.
As the number of players on the field dwindled, the leader turned to Vito Rosso beside him and spoke in a low voice:
"Where did Chen Yuan go?"
The rumors circulating within the organization were indeed true. Although they were S-class assassins, they were no match for Chu Liyue. Even when the three of them joined forces, they were still at a disadvantage.
Unless top-tier combatants like Shen Yuan or even the Ten Kings of Hell intervene, if this drags on any longer, the three of them might all perish at Chu Liyue's hands.
His eyes flickered slightly, and Vito Rosso spoke in a sinister tone:
"He'll be here soon. Do your best to hold that woman off and wear her down as much as possible."
"Try to create opportunities for Shen Yuan. Once we deal with that woman and that pretty boy, the rest will be no threat."
His biggest trump card is the army of Deadpools in the moat, and he has absolute confidence in the Deadpools he has created.
He had assumed that facing that number of Deadpools and his meticulously crafted primal behemoth, these people would be badly injured, if not killed, and he and his assassins could simply sit back and wait to reap the rewards.
To ensure everything went smoothly, he also provided support from behind when the Deadpool army mobilized in full force.
But he never expected that such a powerful double attack would be easily neutralized by that pretty boy, who then joined forces with that bitch to completely destroy the Deadpool masterpiece he had painstakingly created over the years.
Now, all we can do is let Shen Yuan take that bitch away first, and fool these idiots into holding off that vile woman Chu Liyue, so as to buy Shen Yuan more time.
As long as he can ensure that Shen Yuan leaves safely with that bastard, he will naturally be able to act freely and drag these people down with him.
His cold gaze silently swept across the entire room. Noticing that Xiao Wujie, who had disappeared, had not returned for a long time, Vito Rosso couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
That pretty boy was too strange; he was an unpredictable variable.
However, after secretly calculating the time, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. With Shen Yuan's abilities, he estimated that Shen Yuan had already taken that bitch far away.
I guess that pretty boy went to find that slut. Let him wander around this huge castle at his leisure.
He immediately sent them all to their deaths...
The blade, gleaming with a cold light, magnified in his gloomy eyes. Gazing at Chu Nanfeng rushing towards him, a sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth. He immediately swung his blade to meet the attack once more.
The sharp longswords clashed violently, producing a series of sharp explosions.
On his thick arms, veins bulged, as if every inch of his skin concealed explosive power. Chu Nanfeng's gaze toward Vito Rosso was sharp.
Based on all the previous indications, this one in front of us is clearly also a clone of Vito Rosso.
This clone was probably also specially bio-modified by him; it had astonishing strength and a tough body. Punches and kicks hitting it were like hitting a steel plate, having no effect whatsoever.
As a top agent, he had taken on all sorts of missions, big and small, but this was the first time he had encountered such a formidable opponent.
Thinking of all the trouble he had brought to Chu Liyue and Xiao Wujie, as well as his crazy and twisted personality, even someone as good-tempered as him could hardly suppress the surging killing intent in his heart.
The longsword suddenly flipped, like a ferocious beast bursting from the sky, aiming straight for Vito Rosso's throat.
Vito Rosso dodged to the side with unpredictable speed, simultaneously slashing with his backhand, the tip of his blade leaving a silver trail in the air as it aimed straight for Chu Nanfeng's heart.
Chu Nanfeng moved swiftly, dodging the attack in an instant, and at the same time swung his sword horizontally, forcing Vito Rosso to immediately sheathe his sword and return to defense.
The blades clashed repeatedly, their cold light flashing, like two dragons weaving through the darkness.
Each clash of blades produced a piercing metallic clang, and sparks even flew from the point of impact.
Amidst the crowd, Ye Jinyu, wielding two short blades, moved among the assassins, subtly and slowly making her way towards Chu Nanfeng and Vito Rosso.
His deep gaze fell upon Vito Rosso, who was locked in a fierce battle with Chu Nanfeng, a sinister smile playing on his lips. A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Although he didn't know what he had done, he clearly understood that the person in front of him was the source of Lin Qingyi's nightmare.
Although he was exceptionally talented in medicine, he was not particularly outstanding in other areas.
He wasn't of any help along the way.
Because of Xiao Wujie's unpredictable methods and Chu Liyue's extremely powerful abilities, not a single member of the team was injured.
Driven by indignation, he volunteered to come. Although he didn't show it on his face, deep down he had an almost childlike desire to become the hero who could bring her light.
He hoped that he could see his image in her eyes.
Having gone through this journey, he had to admit that he did not possess the unfathomable strength of Xiao Wujie. With his own abilities, he was destined to be unable to bring light to her, who was shrouded in darkness.
But faced with someone who had brought her lifelong nightmares, he also wanted to play his part, even if he couldn't become the hero who brought her salvation and light.
His gaze was fixed on the two intersecting figures. Just as Chu Nanfeng swung his sword to block Vito Rosso's long sword, his arms were spread open, exposing his chest and abdomen.
Ye Jinyu moved swiftly, instantly appearing in front of Vito Rosso, and plunged the short blade in his hand into his abdomen without hesitation.
The expected splatter of blood did not occur. The sharp dagger pressed against Vito Rosso's abdomen as if it were a piece of incredibly resilient rubber, constantly indenting inwards but unable to penetrate it for the time being.
With his brows furrowed, Vito Rosso watched Chu Nanfeng charge forward again and kicked Ye Jinyu in the chest without any mercy.
A mouthful of blood spurted out, but Ye Jinyu gripped the short blade tightly, veins bulging on his forehead, a cold, hard smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
With a sudden burst of force, blood splattered everywhere.
