The night sky was as deep as ink, the stars were hidden from view, and only the biting cold wind whistled through the boundless darkness.
The air by the sea was humid and heavy, and heavy snow fell silently from the sky.
Snowflakes fall on the sea surface, melt instantly, creating tiny ripples that are then smoothed out by the rising waves.
A brilliant silver light pierced the darkness and silence, converging into a slender figure that stood proudly amidst the wind and snow.
His face was incomparably handsome, and his cool demeanor matched the swirling snow.
Her clothes fluttered in the wind, and it was unclear whether the wind and snow had clung to her hair or whether her youth had brought premature graying, but a strand of white hair on her forehead was particularly eye-catching.
Suddenly, the darkness around him surged, and a low, sinister laugh echoed faintly.
A strange purple light bloomed, and a slender figure appeared out of thin air.
She wore a black dress, had a full head of silver hair, and her alluring face wore an unchanging, effeminate smile.
The moment Aisie Hall's gaze fell upon the white hair on Xiao Wujie's forehead, his pupils contracted.
Immediately afterwards, the corners of her dark red lips unconsciously turned up, the curve growing wider and wider until she could no longer contain herself, revealing eight teeth, and she suddenly burst into wild laughter.
"Hahaha, hahaha..."
Her laughter was soft and high-pitched, carrying an unrestrained arrogance and unbridled recklessness, echoing across the empty coastline.
The laughter grew increasingly unrestrained. She opened her arms, tilted her head back to face the swirling snow, and laughed so hard she almost fell over, unable to control herself.
She suddenly reached out, her slender fingers slightly curled, pointing to a strand of white hair on Xiao Wujie's forehead. Her eyes held an almost maniacal smile, and she laughed shrilly, as if possessed.
"You're really willing to go to such lengths to save her?"
She looked at Xiao Wujie, her eyes full of mockery: "Just for a woman, a woman who doubts you, and may not even love you, you're willing to risk your life!"
"You're about to lose your life, and you still dare to come here?"
"Hahaha!"
Xiao Wujie's gaze was as cold as frost on a snowy peak. His face remained expressionless as he coldly asked, "Finished laughing?"
"After you've finished laughing, you can go die."
He glanced up at the area behind Aisie Hall, his voice devoid of warmth: "Bring out all the others hiding behind as well."
After saying that, Aisie Hall slightly suppressed his arrogant laughter and waved to the people behind him.
Heavy, muffled footsteps approached, and nine tall figures emerged from the darkness, stopping behind Aisie Hall.
Each of them exuded a cold and terrifying killing intent. The seven of them standing together were like a high wall, and their almost tangible, icy killing intent spread silently in the wind and snow, creating an oppressive atmosphere.
Nine people, each a terrifying and unpredictable S-class assassin.
One of them was an acquaintance—Chu Yichen.
How's this lineup?
Aisie Hall raised an eerie brow and let out a chilling laugh: "Speaking of which, you've taken down no fewer than ten S-class assassins."
"Including those few, you've encountered more than half of the S-class assassins."
Xiao Wujie's gaze was as cold and still as an icy lake, and a terrifying aura emanated from his body. A chilling, icy smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"It is their honor."
Just then, the roar of a wild car engine suddenly came from behind Xiao Wujie.
With a sudden, swerving stop that disregarded the lives of everyone around him, Lu Zhufeng, dressed in a black suit, got out of the car first, followed by Yun Mo and Chu Wan.
Lu Zhufeng walked up to Xiao Wujie with a cold expression. His dark gaze swept over Aisie Hall and the nine menacing figures behind him, and a sense of solemnity crept in.
But his words were still venomous: "You son of a bitch, you old bitch, you really know how to call in reinforcements!"
After saying that, he ripped off his suit jacket and, like an enraged dragon, charged straight at the S-class assassin behind Aisie Hall.
He swiftly rushed in front of the two assassins, grabbed their wrists, and flung them backward.
At the same time, his hand clawed towards Chu Yichen's chest.
He shouted, "You pretentious hussy, that old bitch is yours. I'll kill a few S-class assassins to cheer you on!"
Even though he was injured, Chu Yichen, the pinnacle of S-class assassins, still reacted amazingly and retreated rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, he single-handedly cornered three S-class assassins.
Seeing this, Yunmo and Chuwan also stepped forward without hesitation, ready to attack. At this moment, Xiao Wujie's cold voice rang in their ears:
"You two can each take on one, don't overdo it."
Having his thoughts read, Yunmo gritted his teeth and ultimately ran off with Chuwan to an S-class assassin.
He wanted to help Xiao Wujie relieve some of the pressure, but his strength only allowed him to deal with one S-class assassin.
With Yunmo and Chuwan gone, only Xiao Wujie remained on the field, facing Aisie Hall and four assassins alone.
Aisie Hall's gaze turned colder as she looked at Xiao Wujie, a sinister smile appearing in her eyes: "One against five, you have no chance of winning."
"Quantity means nothing to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Wujie's eyes suddenly shone brightly.
In an instant, it seemed as if a pair of eyes containing special magic opened.
Those eyes seemed to contain the cosmos, with the Milky Way flowing like a ribbon in their depths, and billions of stars twinkling within them, each radiating a mesmerizing and mysterious light.
Just one glance, and you are already in the vast galaxy, like a mayfly seeing the blue sky, facing the vastness of the universe alone, your body as small as dust.
Suddenly, an eerie purple light appeared deep within the Milky Way, spreading out in the blink of an eye from a distant point of light.
Like a flower exuding an evil aura, it blooms alluringly, its purple light gradually encroaching upon the billions of bright stars.
The next second, the magnificent starry river swirled, and dazzling silver light burst forth from the stars, exuding a mysterious and holy aura, intertwining and colliding with the evil purple light.
If two rivers that are incompatible are raging and trying to swallow and drown each other.
Amidst the intertwining and collision of the two, a faint cry of pain could be heard.
When the silver band of light composed of billions of stars and the eerie and evil purple radiance collided and eroded each other to the extreme, the blinding white light intensified, and in the next moment, everything shattered with a deafening roar.
The howling wind and snow lashed against my face, bringing a chilling sensation, and a sharp pain emanated from the depths of my mind, bringing a slight clarity to my muddled spirit.
On the field, neither Xiao Wujie nor Aisie Hall moved. The cold wind ruffled their hair and clothes, and the light in their eyes faded away.
The assassin behind Aisie Hall clutched his head, blood trickling from his eyes, ears, and nose, clearly in agony.
A clash of the pinnacle of illusion, an extreme mental struggle.
When gods fight, mortals suffer.
Even S-class assassins seem to become fragile and powerless under the supernatural, almost magical, top-tier supernatural abilities.
Xiao Wujie looked at Aisie Hall with a cold and indifferent gaze.
The sinister smile in her eyes vanished, replaced by a deep, gloomy look born of profound apprehension.
