Chapter 656: The Last Assassin
Chapter 656: The Last Assassin
The two men—one was the ruthless assassin, Du Huan.
It turned out that he was also a traitor. This time, he left not only because he was brutally tortured by Jin Banhua and Hu Tiefang but also to recruit more assassins.
The other man was short and stocky, dressed in black, with a pale face and a defiant expression.
But when this man saw Chu Liuxiang, he froze, "General Chu?"
Chu Liuxiang laughed, "Sun Houzi, do you really think you can be an assassin and not feel ashamed?"
This man was the only heir of the "White Mountain Black Water Fist," a formidable martial artist who even the entire White Mountain Sword Sect found troublesome. His name was Sun Kongsong, known as "Black Monkey."
Despite his formidable martial arts, he was clearly the leader of the two, and Du Huan looked at him with a mixture of fear and flattery.
Hearing Chu Liuxiang’s words, Sun Kongsong stomped his foot, "If I had known you were here, I would have died rather than come."
Chu Liuxiang nodded and laughed, "You still have some conscience."
Sun Kongsong sighed and shook his head, then turned to leave.
Du Huan looked at Jin Banhua, then at Chu Liuxiang, and finally asked Sun Kongsong, "Brother Sun, is Chu Liuxiang really that to all? You would you, you is so afraid of him?"
Sun Kongsong suddenly turned his head, "You know who he is?"
Du Huan nodded, "Yes."
"Since you know, why didn’t you say anything back in the camp?" Sun Kongsong frowned and sternly asked.
Du Huan flattered, "With Brother Sun taking action, even if Chu Liuxiang were there, what would been been."
Sun Kongsong laughed a sinister laugh, "You flatter me, but anyone who disrespects Chu Liuxiang is my enemy!"
With that, a hand as black as iron shot out like lightning.
Du Huan was too close and didn't expect the sudden attack. He couldn’t evade in time and was directly pierced in the chest.
This time, a large hole was torn in his chest, and he died instantly.
The gruesome scene of fresh blood splattering made the King of Kucha cover his face with his sleeve, and Princess Pipa looked at Sun Kongsong with caution and vigilance.
Sun Kongsong wiped the blood from his hand on his clothes and laughed at Chu Liuxiang, "I know you don’t kill, but keeping him around is troublesome. So, I’ll take care of it for you."
He then looked at the Wu brothers, "These two, do you need me to take care of them too?"
The Wu brothers were pale-faced.
Chu Liuxiang shook his head and laughed, "Thank you, but I have a few more questions to ask them."
Sun Kongsong nodded, turned to leave, but after a few steps, he turned back, "I owe you a favor, but I have to leave immediately. Just so you know, someone ten times stronger than me is coming. Be very careful."
Chu Liuxiang raised an eyebrow and laughed, "I’m always careful. But… who is this formidable person?"
Sun Kongsong grinned and immediately flew away, his voice echoing, "Mentioning his name gives me a headache. Better not to say. But I must leave now, or it would have been interesting to watch you all fight."
Jin Banhua shook his head, "Why ask him? Why not ask the two beside you?"
"Right…"
Chu Liuxiang laughed and nodded, turning to look at Wu Qingtian. But as he turned, his face changed.
Because Wu Qingtian and Wu Baibai’s faces had turned even darker, almost black.
"Shi Guanyin is indeed here!" Chu Liuxiang’s heart was alarmed, because the deaths of the Wu brothers were identical to how Xiao Pan was poisoned to death by the Meat Soup.
The King of Kucha had just been shocked by Du Huan's death, and now, seeing the state of the Wu brothers, he was so terrified that he vomited. Closing his eyes, he frantically waved his hands, "Guards! Quick... quick, remove the bodies!"
Along with the guards, Ji Bingyan and Hu Tiehua entered the room.
Seeing how the Wu brothers had died, Ji Bingyan's eyes flickered, and he whispered, "Was Shi Guanyin here earlier?"
Chu Liuxiang shook his head. "Shi Guanyin wasn't here. They must have been poisoned earlier. Whether they succeeded or not, they were doomed."
Ji Bingyan nodded and then noticed how Du Huan had died. "So, Sun Wukong has already left?"
"Did you see him?" Chu Liuxiang asked. "If so, why did you let him in?"
Hu Tiehua laughed heartily. "Dead rooster knows Sun Kong. He knows this monkey admires you the most and was worried you'd be bored, so he left him for you. I wanted to take him on, but I was held back."
Chu Liuxiang chuckled, then saw Ji Bingyan give him a meaningful glance and look at Jin Banhua.
Chu Liuxiang shook his head. "Sun Kong has already left."
Seeing the guards carry away the three bodies, the King of Kucha finally let out a sigh of relief and asked, "They came in a group of six. What about the other two?"
Ji Bingyan looked at the king. "Your Highness, do you want to see them?"
The king was taken aback and immediately shook his head. "No, I don't!"
Chu Liuxiang understood and sighed. "Those two probably met the same fate. They won't be coming back."
"But meeting you was their luck. Sun Kong fell into your hands three times, and you let him go each time," Hu Tiehua said, smiling. "But Sun Kong's martial arts are better than the other five combined. I'm quite disappointed I didn't get to face him."
The king immediately grew fearful. "But Sun Kong said that someone ten times more powerful than him is on the way."
Ji Bingyan frowned, but Hu Tiehua said that there were very few people in the entire martial arts world who could be ten times stronger than Sun Kong. He suspected Sun Kong was joking.
Ji Bingyan said coolly, "Sun Kong never lies."
Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua both frowned, unable to guess who this person could be or why they would be swayed by the gold and silver of the Kucha rebel prince.
Hu Tiehua speculated, "Could it be Shi...?"
"It's not her," Chu Liuxiang shook his head. "If it were her, she wouldn't have killed the Wu brothers."
Ji Bingyan said coldly, "Whoever it is, we'll deal with them when they arrive. If you don't mind, I'll retire for the night."
Ji Bingyan turned and left, and Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua naturally followed suit.
Princess Pipa approached Jin Banhua, her expression worried. "There is still the most powerful assassin..."
Jin Banhua smiled. "That means if we take out the most powerful one, they won't be a threat to you for a while, right?"
Princess Pipa's eyes brightened, and she smiled. "Exactly!"
Seeing the hope in Princess Pipa's eyes, Jin Banhua said, "Then let's drink the night away, shall we?"
The King of Kucha nodded eagerly. "Yes, yes, yes!"
...
The night passed, and dawn broke.
The most dangerous assassin never showed up.
But just as the King of Kucha was dozing off and Princess Pipa was about to take Jin Banhua to rest, a scream echoed through the camp.
"Murder!"
