Chapter 522: Chapter 521: To Kill Someone, One Must Pay Such a High Price

This speed, it’s not just as fast as lightning!

Rather, it’s even faster than lightning!

Jian Wuying had never seen such a formidable hidden weapon; by the time he realized it, the bullet was already in front of him.

As a swordsman, he didn’t even have the chance to dodge; he was completely caught off guard.

But it was also because he was a top assassin, innately sensitive to killing intent.

The moment the hidden weapon was fired, Jian Wuying’s body reacted even faster than his mind, violently twisting to the side.

With a ’pfft’ sound, the bullet grazed his shoulder.

Blood gushed out instantly.

Then came two more ’bangs,’ as Chu Qianli fired the second and third bullets at Jian Wuying in quick succession.

No matter how skilled his martial arts were, he couldn’t dodge both bullets.

One bullet brushed past his arm, and the other shot straight into his abdomen.

"Uh—" Jian Wuying’s legs went weak, and he knelt on one knee.

Chu Qianli’s gun, next, was aimed at Yu Linglong.

Yu Linglong turned and ran!

In the blink of an eye, she was gone without a trace.

Chu Qianli still held the gun, its barrel aimed at Jian Wuying.

"Did you see that? You were loyal to her, but when faced with danger, did she ever care about you?"

In fact, she had no more bullets, but neither Yu Linglong nor Jian Wuying understood that.

Yu Linglong never expected that this girl would have such a powerful hidden weapon, one that even Jian Wuying couldn’t avoid being injured by.

Yu Linglong knew well that her martial arts, whether it was hand-to-hand combat or lightness skills, were far inferior to Jian Wuying’s.

If Jian Wuying couldn’t dodge the hidden weapon, how could she possibly manage?

So, without waiting for Chu Qianli to make a move, she left first.

Even though she clearly saw Jian Wuying get injured, she could only abandon him and go.

She didn’t want to die just yet!

At this moment, Chu Qianli was still more than a dozen steps away from Jian Wuying.

She stopped, the gun still pointed at Jian Wuying.

Seeing Jian Wuying stand up, she narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "I advise you not to make any rash moves. You’ve already tasted how formidable this hidden weapon is, haven’t you?"

Jian Wuying remained silent.

With a gunshot wound to the abdomen and blood flowing freely, his shoulder and arm grazed by bullets, although no bones injured, he now bore two deep wounds.

The injury on the shoulder especially was so deep that the bone was visible.

And, it was burning, as if the wounds had been seared!

He had never seen such a miraculous and formidable hidden weapon before! Fast was one thing, but it even had sparks!

Jian Wuying took a deep breath. Injured as he was, he knew he couldn’t escape, but his cold face remained expressionless all the while.

"Kill or cut as you wish."

For killers like them, to lose meant to die; there was no other end.

From the moment they chose to become assassins, they had few thoughts about their own fate.

Every day, they either killed or were killed; it was a stroke of great luck to have survived this long, but there would come a day when they would be killed.

"Everyone has the right to strive to keep living. Why seek death?"

Chu Qianli’s gun was still aimed at him, and her face also lacked much expression.

"I’m not you. I don’t revel in killing, and moreover, having been abandoned by your master must be hard enough; why should I help you find release?"

"She is not my master."

"Then why..." But Chu Qianli quickly reined in her curiosity.

There was no need to ask further; continuing to press the issue might reveal to Jian Wuying that she had run out of bullets.

Luckily, he didn’t understand this weapon.

Even though Jian Wuying was now injured and still bleeding, his martial arts were too advanced; she might not be a match for him if they fought now.

Better to send this plague god packing!

Later, after meeting Yexuan, they would think of a plan to deal properly with these two.

Now was not the time, nor did she have the ability.

"Jian Wuying, you should leave. Go back and see whether Yu Linglong still wants you."

But Jian Wuying not only didn’t leave, he took a step forward instead.

"What are you trying to do?" Chu Qianli maintained her composure, her face expressionless.

"What kind of hidden weapon is that in your hand?" Defeated by a hidden weapon, he felt unwilling.

"Don’t come closer!" Chu Qianli’s expression darkened, "If you take another step, I won’t be polite anymore."

"Since I’ve been defeated by you, you might as well kill me. But, I would like to experience the power of that thing!"

He just wanted to know whether he could dodge it when fully on guard!

He was not content!

Chu Qianli felt somewhat guilty; this man was a martial arts fanatic!

He probably feels uncomfortable not being able to match others in martial arts, but she didn’t expect that he could also feel uncomfortable not being able to match a hidden weapon.

"Bring out your hidden weapon!" Jian Wuying took another step forward!

Chu Qianli was nearly scared into retreating.

Fortunately, she remained calm.

"Why should I bother with a defeated foe?"

Subconsciously, she moved a step back.

Jian Wuying’s gaze fell on her footsteps.

Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes, "Why are you hiding?"

"I’m not hiding!"

"Then, let’s try it again!" Jian Wuying suddenly leaped up.

Despite his severe injuries, his speed had not slowed at all.

Chu Qianli’s pupils contracted, sweat breaking out on the palm of her hand.

This guy is crazy! Does he really not care about his life?

But with his rush, the one about to lose her life could be her at any moment!

Chu Qianli didn’t dare think further, she raised her hand!

Jian Wuying had been on guard all along, and as she lifted her hand, he spun in mid-air, dodging fiercely.

But this time, there was no sound as he’d anticipated.

Chu Qianli’s spear had already been withdrawn, and with a whoosh, she thrust a knife towards him.

Not using that hidden weapon?

Jian Wuying narrowed his eyes and smirked, "You’ve run out of hidden weapons."

It wasn’t a question!

Chu Qianli’s dagger had reached his face.

She had thought he would dodge, so she planned to throw a handful of powdered medicine at him during his evasion and take the chance to escape.

But she never expected that Jian Wuying wouldn’t dodge this knife.

He braced his shoulder to forcefully receive her blade.

With a hiss, the dagger penetrated Jian Wuying’s shoulder, and after Chu Qianli was momentarily stunned, a sharp pain struck her heart.

She had been hit by a pressure point technique!

Everything before her eyes became blurry in an instant.

As she fainted, her only thought was that this man was too crazy.

To capture her alive, he was actually willing to take a knife from her.

Were all ancient assassins this fearless? Did killing always come with such a heavy price?

But she wouldn’t have the chance to find the answer.

Everything went dark, and her petite body finally collapsed softly.

She fell into Jian Wuying’s arms.

Jian Wuying extracted the dagger from his shoulder, intending to throw it away.

But for some reason, he ended up just keeping the knife.

The severe pain in his abdomen persisted as if something was still inside his body—could it be one of her hidden weapons?

Bearing the pain, he scooped her up in his arms, turned around, and walked towards the depths of the dense forest...
