Chapter 542: Chapter 542: Master of the Knife

Compared to the hook-nosed man’s heightened vigilance, Ye Xuan appeared very relaxed.

The three men he’d killed were mere small fry, posing no threat to him at all. The level of assassin Ye Xuan was dealing with now was like a three-year-old child compared to the formidable assassins in the international rankings he had encountered before.

If he couldn’t handle these men, he had no business being in the Dark World and would have been killed off numerous times by now.

At this moment, what intrigued Ye Xuan was the only remaining hook-nosed man. He wondered just how strong he might be?

Without needing to locate him, Ye Xuan scanned with his piercing vision and immediately found the man’s hiding spot behind that silver-gray van.

If he shot now, there was more than an eighty percent chance of killing the man. Even if it didn’t kill him, it would injure him enough to rob him completely of the ability to resist.

However, Ye Xuan didn’t do that. Instead, he tossed his gun to the ground and walked towards the van.

"Stop hiding, I know you’re there. Come out and attack me with your knife!"

With a calm demeanor, Ye Xuan walked straight up to the van, his eyes sparkling as he spoke loudly.

A chill condensed in the eyes of the hook-nosed man. He had been contemplating how to deal with Ye Xuan.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan had thrown away his gun, surrendering his advantage to engage in hand-to-hand combat, which was right up the hook-nosed man’s alley.

He tightened his grip on the military knife, suddenly leapt from behind the van like a lurking cheetah, baring his fangs and pouncing towards Ye Xuan, vowing to trample him beneath his feet.

Despite Ye Xuan’s formidable strength, the hook-nosed man was not weak either, and he held strong confidence in this close-quarter battle!

A knife was his best weapon!

In his hands, a good blade was like the Grim Reaper’s scythe, far deadlier than bullets.

As the captain of the Black Sword Team and a renowned four-star assassin, he was fully confident that he could slice open Ye Xuan’s throat with the knife in his hand.

Even in death, he intended to take Ye Xuan down with him, avenging his fallen brothers!

Whoosh!

A sharp noise pierced through the air.

The hook-nosed man charged at Ye Xuan, his short knife drawing an arc that shone a devastating silver light in the night, aiming diagonally at the carotid artery in Ye Xuan’s neck.

Clearly, knowing Ye Xuan’s formidable strength, he launched a lethal attack, aiming to finish Ye Xuan swiftly!

Ye Xuan leaned back, tilting his neck backward, the sharp silver light slashing past him. He easily dodged the blow.

Unsuccessful in his first attempt, the hook-nosed man did not back down, his eyes flashing with killing intent as he retracted his short knife, once again transforming it into a silver flash aiming for Ye Xuan’s neck!

While dodging, Ye Xuan smiled and said, "Not bad speed, but your accuracy still needs work! You have to push harder; with such skills, you can’t even scratch me."

Seeing this, the hook-nosed man’s pupils shrank. Ye Xuan’s strength was beyond his imagination.

In the midst of his full-on offensive, Ye Xuan still had the composure to speak.

"Hmph!"

He grunted coldly, not uttering a word, rapidly advancing forward as he suddenly crouched into a knee bend.

Whoosh!

The hand holding the short knife shifted from horizontal to vertical, aiming for the root of Ye Xuan’s thigh.

After a round of combat, he realized that Ye Xuan was faster, several notches quicker than himself, and he couldn’t keep up.

At this rate, he would exhaust his strength without managing to inflict any damage on Ye Xuan. Thus, he had to change his strategy; by targeting Ye Xuan’s thigh, only by restricting Ye Xuan’s speed could he then aim for vital points!

Ye Xuan’s steps slid backward, dodging the hawk-nosed man’s dagger, while the latter swiftly followed up, pouncing fiercely like a crouching tiger.

The "Grim Reaper Blade" in his hand, carrying the momentum to break through everything, pierced directly toward Ye Xuan’s chest!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Ye Xuan kept dodging and did not counterattack, continuously avoiding the trajectory of the dagger. It wasn’t that he had no opportunity to strike back; he simply wanted to relish the opponent’s knife skills.

Because he too was an expert with knives and recognized that the hawk-nosed man’s skills were extraordinary, at least sparking some interest within him. So Ye Xuan wanted to take a good look and thoroughly appreciate it!

In this era dominated by firearms, where everyone was devoted to mastering guns, those still wielding knives and swords, the cold weapons, had become a rarity.

And within the Purgatory Team, there was a top-notch swordsman who could represent a world-class standard.

After some comparison, Ye Xuan realized that the hawk-nosed man’s knife skills merely piqued his interest! Compared to a member of his own team, this knife-wielding skill was just at an infant level, far inferior.

Even Ye Xuan had difficulties dodging the sword attacks from his own teammate! But in the face of the hawk-nosed man, he could avoid them effortlessly.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh...

The hawk-nosed man made continuous attacks for more than a dozen rounds, but not once did he touch Ye Xuan, who dodged them all.

It was not just about inflicting wounds on Ye Xuan; he couldn’t even graze his clothes, resembling someone battling with the air rather than a person.

He felt extremely frustrated, as if he had strength yet nowhere to vent it, this sense of powerlessness making him feel like he wanted to vomit blood!

After a chase, Ye Xuan was calm and relaxed; he hadn’t even gasped for breath.

It hardly looked like a battle, rather like strolling leisurely in his own backyard!

In contrast, the hawk-nosed man was already drenched in sweat, breathing heavily, the continuous attacks obviously draining most of his strength.

At this point, he began to consider retreating; if he couldn’t discern Ye Xuan’s true power now, he wouldn’t have a place in this line of work.

This young man was a top-notch expert, not someone his level of assassin could compete with!

He no longer hoped to kill Ye Xuan. The enemy was too strong, he had already lost his fighting spirit and only wanted to save his life, to flee as far as possible.

Thinking thus, the hawk-nosed man decisively sheathed his dagger and turned to sprint wildly toward the parked Audi.

"I haven’t even exerted strength, and you’re already too scared to play? How boring!"

Ye Xuan curled his lips and said indifferently, "As an assassin, your courage is too small, isn’t it? How can you kill anyone like this, let me teach you!"

As his words fell, his figure flashed, quickly chasing after the hawk-nosed man.

He hadn’t struck before, but that didn’t mean he would let the opponent go!

Since this man dared to come and assassinate him, in Ye Xuan’s eyes, he was already a dead man.

With a whoosh, moving at high speed, Ye Xuan appeared behind the hawk-nosed man, his eyes flashed coldly, and he delivered an unapologetic punch, smashing it onto the man’s back.

Bang!

A dull sound echoed, the hawk-nosed man seemed like he was struck by a giant hammer, his body suddenly out of control, blasted away.

His body followed a parabolic path, turning into a flying man in the air, finally colliding with the Audi.

With a clang, the front hood caved in, the windscreen shattered into pieces, and the hawk-nosed man’s face, facing down, collided, covered in blood.

Even the signature hawk nose was smashed in, the nasal bone broken, with multiple fractures all over his body, and four to five ribs broken.

The dagger in his hand was also shaken off, dropping to the ground, completely losing the ability to fight!
