Chapter 857: Chapter 853: Really Came

He waited, and waited for over three hours.

It wasn’t until around midnight that there was finally movement outside the house.

"Finally, they’ve come."

Hearing the sound of someone scaling the walls outside, Chen Yang’s lips curled into a sinister smile.

He had been waiting for a long time. Tonight, he swore that these so-called assassins would never leave alive.

After climbing over the courtyard walls, the assassins moved quickly toward the back door.

Chen Yang could clearly hear their footsteps and discern what they were doing just by listening.

"An assassin... fiddling with locks?"

Listening to the sound of the back door being tampered with, Chen Yang couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. He then rose to his feet, stepped out of the room, and positioned himself by the back door.

Clunk! With a sharp noise, the back door was pried open.

The moment it was opened, Chen Yang, who had been standing right there, unleashed a Soaring Dragon Fist with all his might! This punch had been prepared for ages, just waiting for the door to open!

Boom!

Chen Yang’s punch was lightning-quick. The instant the door opened, his fist had already lashed out.

The assassin standing outside the door was caught completely off guard. When he saw Chen Yang’s fist headed straight for him, he froze in terror.

Instinctively, he wanted to shout, wanted to escape, but there was no chance.

Chen Yang’s punch shot out like a dragon, striking the chest of the lock-picking assassin. With a loud "thud," blood spurted from his mouth as his body was sent flying.

The entire scene unfolded within seconds.

The assassins outside the door barely had time to react.

It wasn’t until the airborne assassin hit the ground, letting out a wail, that the remaining four or five assassins suddenly realized—

They’d stepped right into a trap!

Their assassination had already been discovered by Chen Yang! He had been waiting for them all along!

"It’s a trap! Run!"

One assassin reacted first, realizing the gravity of the situation. Yelling, he turned and tried to flee.

"Trying to leave? Since you came, you might as well stay!"

Seeing him attempt to escape, Chen Yang dashed forward decisively and delivered a powerful kick to the man’s waist.

Crack...

The crisp sound of bones breaking rang out. Immediately, the man let out a miserable scream, collapsing to the ground and lying there motionless.

In just two to three seconds, Chen Yang had taken down two assassins with ease!

The remaining three finally snapped out of their shock at this point, realizing that they had transformed from hunters into prey!

Their target was now assassinating them!

Once they understood this, terror instantly spread across their faces. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

Logically speaking, people like them, upon sensing danger, should flee immediately.

But these three couldn’t move—they were paralyzed, trembling a short distance away without even attempting to run.

It wasn’t a matter of bravery; it was because they knew their limits!

They understood that fleeing guaranteed death. Facing him and fighting back might at least give them a chance to escape later!

"H-How did you know we were coming?"

After a few seconds of trembling, the assassin in the center suddenly spoke up.

Chen Yang’s sharp gaze turned toward him, locking onto the man.

The assassin was already frightened beyond belief, and being pinned under Chen Yang’s gaze only made him sweat buckets—it felt like he was being hunted by a ferocious beast.

"Isn’t it obvious? All of you move as clumsily as pigs, with so much noise climbing over walls and picking locks. How could I not notice?" Chen Yang sneered.

The three assassins, hearing themselves compared to pigs, immediately burned with anger.

After all, they were mystic ability users, professionally trained, and highly skilled assassins! Being insulted as clumsy pigs by Chen Yang was an unbearable humiliation!

"You arrogant brat! So what if you discovered us? Tonight, you’ll still die!"

The furious assassin in the center roared, pulling a dagger from his waist and lunging at Chen Yang with reckless abandon.

The other two assassins, catching on, also drew their daggers and charged at Chen Yang.

Mystic abilities and intelligence go hand in hand.

Knowing escape was hopeless, the three coordinated seamlessly, attacking Chen Yang without holding back.

"Good timing."

Chen Yang stared coldly at the three assassins rushing toward him without a trace of fear—there was even a hint of anticipation!

He was ready to show off his Soaring Dragon Fist!

With that thought, Chen Yang clenched his fists and charged forward.

The assassins had blades, so Chen Yang certainly wouldn’t face them head-on, risking his body against their knives.

Instead, he used his agility to dodge their strikes and then counterattacked.

The three assassins weren’t weak! Beyond Liu Qianshan, they were the strongest mystic ability users Chen Yang had encountered.

"Gu Honghu is pulling out all the stops!"

While the three were formidable, the Soaring Dragon Fist had elevated Chen Yang’s strength to extraordinary levels!

Even while fighting three opponents at once, he tore through them effortlessly. In mere moments, all three lay on the ground, vomiting blood and writhing helplessly.

"This fist technique really skyrockets combat strength in line with its moves!"

After dispatching the assassins, Chen Yang didn’t act immediately but instead took a moment to reflect on his power.

Though this was just a small test of skills, and the Soaring Dragon Fist hadn’t been fully utilized, Chen Yang could already feel the distinction between it and the Eight Section Fist.

He also began to grasp the significance of mastering this technique more clearly.

Standing still, Chen Yang continued his brief summary before turning his gaze to the five assassins sprawled across the courtyard.

All five were mystic ability users and remarkably skilled. However, they ended up like this not because of incompetence but because they faced someone vastly stronger—Chen Yang!

Now, Chen Yang wasn’t thinking about much else; he was considering how to deal with these five.

Killing them outright? Not ideal.

Letting them go? Even worse.

After some pondering, Chen Yang thought of the method he used to deal with Gu Mingxuan last time.

He decided to temporarily keep these assassins in the courtyard. If the Gu Family didn’t notice their absence by morning, they would definitely come to investigate.

When they came to retrieve the assassins, Chen Yang could decide what to do next.

If they dared to attempt an assassination, they’d have to pay the price.

With that settled, Chen Yang turned to wake up Diao Xiong and Wang Cai, instructing them to keep an eye on the assassins and prevent any nighttime escapes.

Upon hearing their task, Diao Xiong and Wang Cai excitedly agreed.

"You five had better lie still. Don’t say I didn’t warn you—Wang Cai and Diao Xiong aren’t exactly gentle souls. Your lives are in your own hands now."

After setting up Diao Xiong and Wang Cai, Chen Yang coldly addressed the assassins sprawled out in warning, urging them not to run.

Otherwise, if Diao Xiong attacked, it’d be fatal!

Having said his piece, Chen Yang didn’t bother with them further. He turned and headed back to his room to sleep.

Staying up so late was unbearable after all.
