Who knew that her impulsive self-introduction would give the assassin a weakness to exploit?
The ninja shouted, "Don't try anything funny, or this kid is dead."
As he spoke, he moved closer to Chu Youzhao's back. As an assassin who had spent years licking blood from the blade, he naturally knew how to prevent the other party from launching a surprise attack.
"Alright, alright, I've already put it down." Zuan frowned secretly. This guy was very cautious and didn't give me the slightest chance.
The ninja continued, "Disable your martial arts skills, quickly!"
Chu Youzhao hurriedly said, "Don't agree to him, otherwise we'll both still be dead."
"Shut up!" The ninja was enraged and tightened her grip on her sword, as if she would be killed on the spot if she dared to say another word.
At this moment, Zu'an laughed: "Do you think I'm as stupid as you? How could I possibly agree to such a condition?"
Chu Youzhao: "..."
Her face flushed red with embarrassment. She realized she had been presumptuous and was extremely embarrassed.
That lecherous thief's tone of voice is truly disgusting!
The ninja knew that the condition was indeed unrealistic, so he changed his mind and said, "Then you cut off your right hand. That way you will have some ability to protect yourself, and you can recover in the future. I will also be safe."
The recent exchange made him realize that his opponent's cultivation level was far beyond what he could contend with alone. Therefore, his top priority was to leave safely and return to the organization to tell them about his true strength, which would be a great achievement.
Zuan frowned. He naturally understood this principle, so how could he let him reveal his trump card?
Then the ninja said in a deep voice, "If you still don't agree to these conditions, then we'll fight to the death. I'll take the young master of the Chu family down with me when I die, and see how you'll face the Chu and Qin families in the future!"
Just then, a figure flashed in: "Kameda, why hasn't this been resolved yet?"
The newcomer was completely shrouded in black, with only a pair of bright eyes visible, dressed exactly like the assassins.
However, she had a shapely figure and was clearly a woman.
Upon seeing the newcomer, the ninja named Kameda was overjoyed: "Be careful, this guy's strength is definitely not just fifth rank, he's probably even eighth rank. My companions who came with me all died at his hands."
This woman hasn't been a member of the martial arts school for long, but she's quite skilled. Most importantly, she's very beautiful. I've tried to seduce her several times before, but I haven't succeeded. I never expected that I would have the opportunity to fight alongside her today. Maybe this connection will lead to a further development between us.
His gaze swept over the other woman's exquisite and curvaceous figure, and he thought that even the most beautiful courtesans in brothels couldn't compare to her. He had thought he was having a terrible day, but now it seemed that he had actually turned misfortune into blessing.
"Oh?" The woman looked at Zu An in surprise.
Zuan was taken aback; why did those eyes look somewhat familiar?
"How could someone so young possibly be an eighth-rank official?" the woman retorted.
Chu Youzhao nodded in deep agreement. Her father was only an eighth-rank official, and this lecherous thief was so young; how could he possibly have reached such a high level?
Upon hearing the woman's voice, a strange expression appeared on Zu An's face.
"I'm not lying, the bodies of those who came in with me are still here!" Ninja Kameda said hurriedly.
Even Chu Youzhao was puzzled. The image of Zu An easily defeating his enemy flashed through his mind. He had to admit, he was quite handsome back then...
Bah! That lecherous scoundrel is a complete bastard!
The female assassin glanced at the corpses on the ground, a look of surprise in her eyes, but she quickly said, "In that case, he is definitely not someone we can handle. Let's go back and report first."
“That’s exactly what I was thinking too.” Kameda secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Facing Zaun alone was quite stressful, but now with his companions’ help, the chances of escaping had greatly increased.
Zuan laughed and said, "You're all talking to yourselves, aren't you taking me seriously?"
Kameda snorted: "If you dare to move, this guy will be dead."
As he spoke, he held Chu Youzhao hostage and retreated towards the door. When he was alone, he had no choice but to use Chu Youzhao as a bargaining chip, but he also knew that it was unrealistic to expect her to cut off her right hand. Now that he had his companions to cover for him, he didn't want to waste any more time and it was better to leave as soon as possible.
Zu An moved slightly but then stopped, clearly hesitant to act rashly.
“Only you know best what happened here. You can tell the Pavilion Master in detail when you get back. I will cover you, you retreat first.” The female assassin stepped forward, holding her sword horizontally in front of her, looking at Zu An with a wary expression.
Kameda was overjoyed: "Thank you very much. I will definitely repay your kindness in the future."
Although he said this, he still dared not let his guard down, keeping all his attention on Zu An, fearing that he might suddenly launch an attack.
Suddenly, he tensed up and turned to look at his companion in disbelief: "You bastard, why...why!"
A vine had pierced his back, and he was clearly not going to survive.
As an assassin, he didn't completely trust his partner. He kept an eye on the sword in his partner's hand, but little did he know that his partner had other tricks up his sleeve.
The woman chuckled, "Well, what can I do? I met that guy before you did."
Kameda's expression changed drastically. Knowing he was going to die, he hurriedly raised his hand, intending to drag Chu Youzhao down with him.
Unfortunately, he discovered that he couldn't move his hand at all, as it was bound by countless tiny vines.
The female assassin had already reached him and, without giving him another chance, snapped his neck.
"Ah!" Chu Youzhao exclaimed and instinctively ran towards Zu'an.
Although that lecherous thief was detestable, he was still considered one of their own, and was more reliable than assassins or the like.
