Chapter 413: April 14th, thirty seconds

"Such arrogance!" Wu Ying looked at Ye Qiu, who appeared somewhat conceited, feeling quite displeased inside.

Logically, having been hunted by two assassins dispatched by the Kondjir family, shouldn’t he be dead? How could he appear here completely unscathed!

Ye Qiu’s whole body emitted no aura of a strong person; aside from his eyes, which were frighteningly bright, there was nothing special about him. Wu Ying even doubted whether the Kondjir family was too weak to deal with someone like Ye Qiu, unworthy of their status as a great family.

"I don’t care how you managed to survive, but let me make it clear to you, if you know what’s good for you, you’d best leave now and never come back to Yiguo, and don’t even think about having something to do with Caroline—she’s my woman." Wu Ying suppressed the urge to attack and decided to warn Ye Qiu first.

"Oh? Caroline, he says you’re his woman?" Ye Qiu laughed and looked at Caroline.

Caroline shook her head, "Don’t listen to his nonsense, I have nothing to do with him."

Ye Qiu nodded, his gaze returning to Wu Ying, "You heard her; she said she’s not."

Caroline’s outright denial in Wu Ying’s face left him utterly humiliated, making his threat toward Ye Qiu seem downright ridiculous.

"Hmph, you’re a dead man. You’ll pay for your arrogance with blood. Since the Kondjir family couldn’t kill you, I’ll take care of it!" Wu Ying’s aura burst forth in an instant, turning the tavern once again into a battlefield.

"Kill me? Heh..." Ye Qiu was unmoved. He patted Caroline, signaling her to stand aside.

"Give me a minute... no, make that half a minute," Ye Qiu said softly.

"He’s very strong. He’s the assassin world’s new king, codenamed Wu Ying. You need to be careful," Caroline warned gently, appearing very ladylike and tender as she stood beside Ye Qiu, a vision of the perfect gentlewoman.

Ye Qiu made a reassuring gesture, and then took a step forward to face Wu Ying directly.

All of Caroline’s behaviors were observed by Wu Ying. His heart was ablaze with anger, though his exterior showed no emotion; inwardly, his killing intent was overwhelming.

Caroline watched the man she was concerned about, and at this moment, she was very different from her usual self.

To outsiders, Caroline was the epitome of a cool and spicy mature woman, vibrant and fiery, like a gorgeous and delicate rose. However, she was also equipped with thorns, and anyone who tried to get close would end up wounded.

Yet when Caroline was with Ye Qiu, she would willingly shed all her defenses, turning from thorns into gentle water, all tenderness and charm.

"I won’t kill you directly. Instead, I’ll break your legs and let you lie in a pitiful state in front of Caroline," Wu Ying said with a grim laugh, his face turning cruel as he prepared to act.

"It’s said that you’re the King Yan of the assassin world, and Caroline’s title as the queen originates from you, which displeases me. Today, I’ll let you know what true power is, the kind that decides life and death. From now on, there will be no ’King Yan’ in the assassin world."

"Are you done talking? I’ve only got half a minute to deal with you," Ye Qiu said, as he dug at his ear, looking as though he had heard too much, completely ignoring Wu Ying’s harsh words and infuriating him in the process.

"And here I thought you only knew how to talk big," Ye Qiu laughed out loud, facing Wu Ying, the newly crowned king, with absolute calm.

He had killed many kings before, like Death and Butcher, who were notorious figures in the assassin world. Killing another like Wu Ying, how could that possibly pressure Ye Qiu?

Caroline worried for Ye Qiu because she was unaware of his past feats. Once she understood that Ye Qiu possessed the peak strength of True Qi and could withstand Bai Xiong’s full-force attack, she would be completely reassured about him.

Ye Qiu had long been looking for an opportunity to test the extent of his strength, and Wu Ying’s provocation was just what he wanted. Let Wu Ying be the one to measure the fruits of his recent endeavors.

Wu Ying struck fiercely at first, testing Ye Qiu’s power.

The two exchanged a punch. Ye Qiu’s punch was light and breezy; he retracted it swiftly, and moments later, they separated.

Wu Ying felt a slight tremor inside. The seemingly unremarkable Ye Qiu had easily taken his attack, surprising Wu Ying considerably. No wonder he could survive and make it here; clearly, he was not without merit.

Wu Ying’s eyes flashed, but he didn’t take it to heart. He was highly confident in his own strength and didn’t care about Ye Qiu’s status as a king in the assassin world. Having killed ten almost-kings and three true Kings of Assassins, he had established his reputation as a new king and would not fear Ye Qiu just because of a title.

Indeed, Wu Ying had solid foundations. As an important bodyguard for the Yiguo royal family, he had repeatedly stepped in to avert countless crises, earning a great reputation within the royal circles, or else Caroline’s uncle wouldn’t have considered matching him with Caroline.

One was the exceedingly arrogant Shadowless, the newly crowned king of assassins; the other was Ye Qiu, the veteran ruler, who from beginning to end, never showed a flicker of emotion.

The battle of the two kings—if such news were to spread, who knows how many people would pay attention and watch. However, currently, only Caroline was the audience.

"Twenty seconds left," Ye Qiu said indifferently.

Shadowless snorted, "You think too highly of yourself. You think you can defeat me in half a minute? That’s a huge joke."

"I’ll let you see my true strength." No sooner had Shadowless finished speaking than his figure began to blur. In the blink of an eye, he vanished without a trace.

"Never mind killing me, I don’t think you can even find the hem of my clothes." Shadowless’s proud voice echoed through the air, and upon looking around, one could not locate the source of the voice—it seemed as though it had come out of thin air.

This was Shadowless’s strongest technique. True to his name, he could completely conceal himself, leaving not even a shadow. Otherwise, how could he have been so successful and feared in the world of assassins, turning himself into an invisible killer who could strike a deadly blow at any moment?

Ye Qiu stood still, the corner of his mouth curving slightly upward.

And time ticked away—fifteen seconds, ten seconds, five seconds...

Shadowless said with a triumphant laugh, "After all that big talk in front of Caroline, I’d like to see how you’ll end this."

Caroline’s beautiful eyes watched Ye Qiu intently. She didn’t care how long it took Ye Qiu to defeat Shadowless; as long as he was safe, she would be relieved.

At that moment, Ye Qiu gave Caroline a slight smile. Then, he reached into the air with a large hand, as if stirring the void, and in an instant, he pulled a figure out of thin air.

Now with Shadowless being strangled all of a sudden, his face was full of shock. He could never have imagined that his most prized concealment technique would be so easily broken by Ye Qiu.

"How could you see me there?" Shadowless was completely stunned, staring intently at Ye Qiu, trying to get an answer from his lips.

But Ye Qiu simply looked at him, smiling softly, "Want to know?"

Shadowless, with an urgent look in his eyes, naturally wanted a clear answer.

"But... I don’t feel like telling you!"

Immediately after, Shadowless felt the world spinning as he was tossed away by Ye Qiu’s casual throw, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Three seconds!"

Ye Qiu murmured, and in a flash, his figure appeared next to Shadowless, his feet stomping on Shadowless’s legs.

"One second."

Ah!

Shadowless felt immense pain as his legs were crushed. The very boast he had made earlier now came back to haunt him.

Ye Qiu walked slowly toward Caroline, saying with a smile, "Half a minute was just right."

Caroline smiled back, like a ripe peach soaked in sunshine.

Then a voice reached Shadowless’s ears: "Get lost. If you don’t crawl out of here, I won’t hesitate to step on your heart once more."

Grinding his teeth, Shadowless truly rolled his way out, causing Caroline to burst into hearty laughter.

"Ye Qiu, you just wait for me. As long as I’m alive, I will kill you."

Shadowless wore an extremely ugly expression as he rolled out of the small tavern. He turned back to stare at the figure inside the tavern and swore his vow.
