King of Assassins
Chapter 74 - 73 Matching

Chapter 74: Chapter 73 Matching

The villa’s front yard is spacious, and upon entering, there’s an open lawn. On one side of the lawn, a few plum trees are planted, along with a pergola and some tables and chairs.

An Yong advanced with six people from the front yard, wielding a powerful special interference device that could block all wireless signals.

The villa’s security system, including robots and mechanical police dogs, would be strongly electromagnetically interfered with, making normal operation impossible.

It should be known that this type of jammer is special equipment; ordinary people have not only never bought it but have never even seen it.

Generally speaking, only law enforcement departments are qualified to use it.

The jammer used by An Yong costs nearly a hundred million. It can block all wireless signals within a few square kilometers.

Such an expensive jammer can’t just be bought from anywhere, even if one could find a purchase channel, they might not have the money to buy it.

So, An Yong boldly and confidently barged in with his team, without any worries.

This type of standalone villa has a distance of one or two kilometers from the neighbors. As long as no gunpowder firearms are used, the neighbors wouldn’t notice anything unusual.

An Yong and his team reached the door, and he signaled his men to open it.

This type of electronic lock, once electromagnetically damaged, would forcibly lock. He didn’t want to alert the people inside, so didn’t opt for breaking the door directly.

Hiding in the car, An Hu could clearly see the scene through the drone’s surveillance.

The drone flies high enough to avoid being interfered with by their own jammer, yielding quite clear feedback images.

An Hu saw An Yong’s group well-trained, each one moving efficiently and orderly, which made him quite satisfied.

His own personnel truly had skills!

It seemed that capturing Gao Xuan and his group was a piece of cake.

Indeed, Gao Xuan could fight, but that was against a motley crew. Facing true elite combatants, Gao Xuan’s skills amounted to nothing.

On the second floor, Jiang Xuejun was also getting anxious, her hand holding the sword was beginning to sweat.

As a swordsman, pre-battle nerves are taboo.

Jiang Xuejun has always led a smooth life; her rebellious wildness was built on this foundation.

This sudden emergence of masked, gun-wielding individuals full of murderous intent was something she had never experienced, yet she could discern their ill intent. The disruption of external communication reinforced her realization of the dire situation; they might all die there today if things went wrong.

In a life-or-death crisis, she found it hard to stay calm.

Jiang Xuejun was about to discuss coping strategies with Gao Xuan when she saw Yun Qingshang already heading downstairs with her sword.

Jiang Xuejun paused for a moment, instinctively wanting to follow Yun Qingshang.

Although she was nervous, she wasn’t so scared as to not dare act. Yun Qingshang’s bravery further fueled her fighting spirit.

Gao Xuan stopped Jiang Xuejun with one hand, "You don’t need to go. Let her handle it."

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Xuejun felt belittled and was very angry.

"You’d better watch the show honestly. If you go, I’ll have to take care of you too."

Gao Xuan said calmly, "Your swordsmanship is mediocre, not to mention that you are fundamentally unprepared for a life-and-death struggle, nor do you have the will to fight to the death. Going down will just add to the chaos."

Wei Zhenzhen, clinging to Gao Xuan’s arm, showed her anxieties on her little face. She softly said to Jiang Xuejun, "Sister Jun, you’d better listen to brother."

Jiang Xuejun was very unconvinced. She raised her eyebrows and was about to speak when she saw Gao Xuan open the surveillance video.

"There are a few wired surveillance lines inside, so monitoring isn’t affected."

Gao Xuan opened the projection screen. Due to the strong electromagnetic interference, the screen trembled and flickered constantly.

The flickering images still clearly showed the outside. Jiang Xuejun saw Yun Qingshang silently approaching the front door and pulling it open.

The cold gleaming blade in her hand flashed out. The person kneeling to unlock the door realized something was wrong, but his head was already pierced by the blade.

This strike was both ruthless and quick; the person hit died immediately on the spot.

The others also sensed something amiss, and two shooters already prepared hurriedly fired their guns.

Dozens of tranquilizer darts poured out like a storm, covering the space in front of the door.

A beautiful and clean white hand reached out, picking up the killed person.

Most of the dozens of tranquilizer darts fell on the corpse. The darts couldn’t penetrate the protective vest, and most were bounced off.

Only a few stuck in the back of the dead person’s head. But the tranquilizer potion had no effect on the dead.

The others hurriedly dispersed. Facing this swordsman with rich combat experience, their firearms were not powerful enough, so they had to spread out to pose a threat.

Just as the group was retreating, a flash of sword light swept swiftly from under the corpse.

Two retreating thugs had both their knees cut by the sword light. The acute pain made them howl loudly.

The sword light swirled again, slicing across the two men’s throats. All howls turned into spurting blood.

After killing two people without hesitation, Yun Qingshang rushed towards the other two thugs.

The two thugs were also a bit panicked; until now, they still hadn’t seen their opponent’s face. They only saw the cold, flashing sword light, evident of their opponent’s swift and fierce swordsmanship.

Seeing the opponent rushing over, the two gunmen hastily fired their guns.

The gun barrel spat out a thin thread of an electric grid that expanded, completely covering the space ahead, clearly about to trap the swordsman inside.

The two swordsmen showed signs of joy. An Yong, who was pursuing the swordsman with his sword, also breathed a sigh of relief.

The electric grid had a super-strong current, and the thin threads on it were extremely tough. Once a person was trapped, even tenth-level experts would find it difficult to escape.

In the room, Jiang Xuejun and Wei Zhenzhen felt their hearts tighten. Jiang Xuejun couldn’t help but raise her sword, intending to jump out of the window to help, but was once again held back by Gao Xuan.

Before Jiang Xuejun could struggle, Yun Qingshang simply flicked her sword, changing the direction of one electric grid and entangling it with another. Instantly, electric sparks flew everywhere.

The flashing electric light illuminated the surroundings brightly.

Everyone could see the swordsman clearly. The features were vividly beautiful, with long arched eyebrows and bright, clear eyes. Wearing a black sword robe, barefoot as white as snow, and holding a longsword that gleamed bright as silver.

An Hu watched Yun Qingshang on the monitor, a look of astonishment on his face. This cold and quiet girl was like the shadow of Gao Xuan.

Obviously stunning in appearance with a pure temperament. Yet she had no sense of presence.

An Hu never expected that this seemingly delicate and quiet girl would have such superb swordsmanship. Moreover, her strikes were ruthless and cold, showing no hesitation when killing.

Yun Qingshang’s swordsmanship looked even more aggressive than Gao Xuan’s. What’s going on here?

Before An Hu could figure it out, Yun Qingshang had already swiftly charged forward, her longsword bending and flashing like a silver snake.

The two henchmen with guns immediately had two sword marks on their foreheads and fell backward.

At this moment, An Yong swung his sword and arrived.

In a matter of seconds, his five subordinates were all killed. An Yong was both angry and fearful. The opponent’s swordsmanship was so fierce; it seemed even stronger than his by a fraction.

An Yong’s posture with his sword seemed fierce, but in actuality, his movements were quite restrained, mostly probing.

He used a four and a half-foot longsword, weighing twenty-nine kilograms, called Po Jun.

This sword alone cost over two million, and it was An Yong’s favorite sword artifact. With full power, there was virtually nothing it couldn’t cut through.

An Yong noticed Yun Qingshang’s swordsmanship was swift, and with a horizontal slash, he sealed off the space in front of him. He gave Yun Qingshang no opportunity for swordsmanship changes.

Yun Qingshang also noticed An Yong’s swordsmanship was rigorous, and his Source Power was substantial. Her blade lightly tapped An Hu’s longsword to probe and then retreated using the momentum.

An Yong forced Yun Qingshang back with one sword and immediately began his most proud Giant Wave Swordsmanship.

The Po Jun Heavy Sword swung fiercely with sword light, like layers upon layers of giant waves, constantly attacking Yun Qingshang.

Yun Qingshang’s body technique was extremely fast. But once An Yong’s sword momentum was released, his speed was even faster.

The heavy Po Jun heavy sword, when wielded, had violent kinetic energy that actually increased An Yong’s speed.

The Giant Wave Swordsmanship’s unique sword skill could continuously stack power onto the sword. With each slash, the power on the sword increased a bit.

By the nineteenth slash, the power on the sword would increase threefold. By then, even ninth or tenth-level experts couldn’t withstand a blow from the Po Jun Sword.

After Yun Qingshang dodged three slashes in a row, she knew something was wrong. Because the power of An Yong’s longsword was increasing.

However, at this stage, An Yong’s sword momentum was already up. Yun Qingshang was no longer able to directly block the Po Jun Sword.

The Po Jun Longsword slashed forward, its water-clear blade stirred by Source Power into layers of rippling light. Layered sword light overlapped like surging waves, with the momentum to sweep away thousands of troops.

Under the overwhelming great waves, Yun Qingshang could only dodge left and right, but the surging sword light tightly pursued her, seemingly ready to engulf Yun Qingshang at any moment.

Yun Qingshang changed her body technique several times, quickly retreating to between two plum trees.

These two old plum trees were no more than three meters tall, but the trunks were quite sturdy and full of green leaves. The plum blossoms had long withered, leaving small green plums the size of fingernails hanging full on the branches.

Yun Qingshang planned to use the trees to block the sword and slightly dampen the opponent’s sharpness.

However, An Yong had no intention of pulling back his sword or changing his tactic, and with a horizontal sweep, the two old plum trees were cleanly cut in half.

Yun Qingshang could only retreat again to the nearby arbor, with An Yong’s longsword following. The pillars and canopy of the arbor were all smashed and shattered beneath the sword’s edge.

The unbearably fierce sword momentum of the Po Jun Sword made Jiang Xuejun, watching the monitor on the second floor, feel her scalp tingle with fear.

Although the figure opposite acted stealthily, the swordsmanship was indeed fierce and domineering. Just watching made Jiang Xuejun feel that the swordsmanship was irresistible.

If she fought that person, she’d be cut in two within two slashes.

As a swordsman, Jiang Xuejun originally thought that she was quite good. At least she was qualified to lend Gao Xuan a hand.

Only now did she realize, Gao Xuan wasn’t holding her back because he looked down on her. It was because in battles of this level, she indeed wasn’t qualified to intervene.

However, seeing Yun Qingshang in peril, Jiang Xuejun was also very anxious.

She gripped her sword hilt tightly, somewhat agitated as she said to Gao Xuan, "We should hurry down to help."

Gao Xuan calmly told Jiang Xuejun, "Today, Qingshang is the main character. We just need to stand by and cheer her on."

"Huh?!"

Jiang Xuejun couldn’t understand Gao Xuan, wondering if there was something wrong with his mind.

Seeing Yun Qingshang struggling, yet he wanted to cheer and applaud. Once Yun Qingshang was dealt with, the three of them would be doomed.

Gao Xuan opened a bag of sunflower seeds, and Jiang Xuejun was stunned, looking at the seeds, not knowing what to say.

Gao Xuan, understanding Jiang Xuejun, also took out a bottle of cola and said, "Sunflower seeds go better with cola, you know."

He also earnestly told Jiang Xuejun, "Remember, you can’t pair cola with popcorn. Both are sweet, how do you match them? How do you match them? Mixing sweetness is the way of evil!"
