Chapter 228: Chapter 219: Ling Ying’s Pain

This man in black is indeed from the Dark Organization.

He came here specifically to assign Ling Ying a task.

Watching the figure of the man in black walking away, Ling Ying’s face turned slightly pale.

She stood there motionless, standing for a long time without moving much.

Her expression revealed a hint of sadness.

The task assigned to her by her superiors was very clear, she was to kill Yang Tian.

But she had just begun to like Yang Tian, was she really going to kill him?

She still remembered when she was helpless, how Yang Tian stood up for her without hesitation, forced out the toxin from her body, and even restored her already corroded arm.

As a killer trained by the Dark Organization, Ling Ying had been cold and ruthless since childhood.

It could be said her life was a tragedy.

Yet, Yang Tian’s appearance brought her warmth, making her feel that in this world, there were still people who cared for and cherished her.

But just now, with the words "you know what to do," the man in black had closed all paths for Ling Ying.

Next, she had to kill Yang Tian.

In fact, she was not a member of the Evil Moon Organization but the Dark Organization.

Five years ago, an incident befell the Chen Family, Chen Zheng’s body was found submerged in the Spirit Lake, and subsequently, Chen Tianbao and Chu Qing were sent to the West Capital due to negligence.

At that time, the Dark Organization dispatched Ling Ying to follow and stay by Chen Tianbao’s side.

They had been waiting for today.

"This day has finally arrived. Must I really kill Yang Tian? Years ago, my task was to observe and monitor Chen Tianbao, but five years later, the person appearing around Chen Tianbao is actually Yang Tian!"

As an assassin of the Dark Organization, Ling Ying had to execute the orders from her superiors.

But how could she kill the only person she ever liked?

For a moment, Ling Ying’s face was pale and bloodless.

Meanwhile, inside the hotel at West Capital University, Yang Tian was resting and training.

But he felt a wave of the Spirit Breath.

Instantly, his eyes opened wide.

"In West Capital University, there’s actually a wave of Spirit Breath? Could it be other Ancient Martial Artists?"

Yang Tian stood up in surprise.

Years ago, he was bitten by a Thousand-Year Python, thus entering the realm of Ancient Martial Artists, and he thought he was the only Ancient Martial Artist in this world.

But now, he sensed another wave of Spirit Breath from an Ancient Martial Artist.

Whoosh!

Yang Tian’s figure flashed and he dashed out.

The source of this wave of Spirit Breath was surging from the playground.

Yang Tian quickly arrived at the playground of West Capital University, he channeled his Spirit Breath to explore inside the playground.

Soon, he frowned.

Because he saw Ling Ying.

"Why is Ling Ying here?"

Yang Tian was puzzled, but seeing Ling Ying standing there dazed and unmoving, although he was confused, he didn’t go up to ask her about it.

The most important thing now was to track that wave of Spirit Breath.

Whoosh!

Yang Tian swiftly dashed toward the woods, his speed was fast, and soon, he saw a black figure ahead.

This wave of Spirit Breath was exactly emanating from this man in black.

Watching the man in black weaving through the woods, Yang Tian grew even more surprised: Who would have thought that there really are other Ancient Martial Artists in this world?

"Very well! I always thought I was the only Ancient Martial Artist, but to think I would meet a second Ancient Martial Artist here..."

There was an undertone of excitement in Yang Tian’s voice.

Whoosh!

Yang Tian channeled his Spirit Breath onto his body, moving at incredible speed.

In no time, Yang Tian bypassed the man in black and appeared in front of him, saying coldly, "Since you’re here, then don’t even think about leaving!"

"It’s you!"

A crisp voice rang out, and the man in black stopped.

He was wrapped tightly in black attire, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes.

"You know me?"

Yang Tian was somewhat surprised.

He didn’t expect this Ancient Martial Artist to actually know him.

"You are Yang Tian..."

The man in black said indifferently.

"I am Yang Tian, so who are you? Why are you covering your face? Let me help you take it off..."

In a flash, Yang Tian moved closer.

His Spirit Breath channeled to his hand as he reached for the mask on the man in black’s face.

Swipe!

Yang Tian’s hand reached out, aiming to grab the mask on the man in black’s face.

But the man in black was quick as well, retreating backward to evade Yang Tian’s grasp.

Yang Tian missed his first attempt and launched a second, even faster this time.

But after three consecutive attempts, he couldn’t take off the mask on the man in black’s face.

In this exchange, Yang Tian had gauged the man in black’s level.

It’s likely that this man in black’s level is absolutely not weak, the most formidable presence Yang Tian had ever encountered.

Of course, this man in black was indeed an Ancient Martial Artist.

"Very well! Your power in the eyes of ordinary people is surely a terrifying presence, but to me, you’re still lacking!"

Yang Tian said as the Spirit Breath in his body continuously boiled.

"Lacking?"

The man in black stopped, with a slight sneer.

Both of them were Ancient Martial Artists, yet Yang Tian blatantly said the man in black was inferior to him?

"That’s right, lacking!"

Yang Tian said naturally.

"Your arrogance is too much, isn’t it?"

The man in black sneered.

"Arrogant?"

Yang Tian shrugged, in fact, his strength was indeed above the man in black’s.

Just now, he had only used fifty percent of his power.

But now, he suddenly struck out.

Whoosh!

Almost in an instant, Yang Tian snatched the mask off the man in black’s face.

"Ah..."

A cry of surprise echoed, revealing a fair face beneath the black clothing.

The face was exceedingly beautiful.

Long eyelashes, deep black eyes, a delicate nose, ruby red lips, a graceful chin.

All of these together portrayed an exquisitely beautiful appearance.

"You’re actually a woman!"

Yang Tian was somewhat surprised.

He hadn’t expected the first Ancient Martial Artist he encountered to be a woman.

This face in the world of mortals was indeed an existence of beauty.

"Your speed is so fast..."

The black-clad woman’s expression was startled; she hadn’t expected Yang Tian’s swift move to tear off her mask.

The speed was too fast.

She finally believed Yang Tian’s words.

Indeed, when Yang Tian exerted full strength, the black-clad woman was genuinely no match for him.

"Who exactly are you? Why are you here?"

Gazing upon that exquisitely beautiful face, Yang Tian was slightly dazed.

Truthfully speaking, apart from the four beautiful female CEOs of East Sea, the black-clad person before him was the most beautiful he had ever seen.

Moreover, this woman was also an Ancient Martial Artist.

Why did she appear here?

"Unnecessary to speak!"

The black-clad woman coldly snorted, swiftly retreating away, jumping through the forest, and soon vanished into its depths.

Watching the retreating silhouette of the black-clad woman, Yang Tian did not pursue.

He believed that even if he caught up, it would be difficult to make the black-clad woman reveal her identity.

Moreover, he had a strong feeling that he might encounter the black-clad woman again.

"Go back and check on Ling Ying!"

Yang Tian’s figure flickered, disappearing into the forest and returning to the field.

However, what made him frown was that Ling Ying was already no longer in the field.

Yang Tian shook his head, heading back to the hotel.

Just as he returned to Room 308, he saw Ling Ying standing outside the room. Upon seeing Yang Tian, she hurriedly came up to greet him: "Yang, where did you go?"

"I just went out for a bit. I saw you at the field. Why did you come back?"

Yang Tian immediately asked.

"You saw me?"

Ling Ying’s expression became somewhat tense.

Just half an hour ago, she was at the field receiving orders from her superior, where she received the latest command.

Which was to kill Yang Tian.

But unexpectedly, it had been discovered by Yang Tian.

"Yes, I saw you spacing out alone in the field..."

Yang Tian said calmly.

"Oh." Ling Ying quietly breathed a sigh of relief and spoke very calmly: "I was actually detecting Chen Zheng’s whereabouts at the field!"

"Detecting?"

Yang Tian frowned.

"Yes, detecting." Ling Ying nodded: "There should be a basement from the Evil Moon Organization beneath West Capital University. I just detected it with an instrument. If I’m correct, it should be right under the field..."

"Really? That’s good!"

Yang Tian nodded.

He half-believed what Ling Ying said, but he always felt something was amiss.

He remembered that black-clad woman again.

But looking at Ling Ying in front of him, Yang Tian shook his head.

The Ling Ying before him, although a cold and ruthless killer, was not an Ancient Martial Artist and had little connection to the black-clad woman.

"If indeed there’s a basement found, then quickly take us down there!"

Yang Tian now was very curious if Chen Zheng was truly dead.

"Yes."

Ling Ying nodded.

But as she turned away, a hint of hesitation and pain flitted across her eyes.

Because she knew that if she truly led Yang Tian down, Yang Tian would die.

In fact, there indeed was a basement beneath West Capital University.

Chen Zheng was indeed trapped in that basement, but he was long since crippled, amnesiac, and his life was nearing its end. The Dark Organization kept him alive just to have him linger for future purposes against the Chen Family.

To be honest, Chen Zheng had no hope left.

Even if Yang Tian rescued Chen Zheng, it was impossible for him to return alive to the Chen Family.

The Chen Family was destined to be a tragedy!

If Ling Ying led Yang Tian down, it would definitely cause Yang Tian’s death.

At this moment, Ling Ying hesitated, remembering how Yang Tian had once saved her.

She found that she truly loved Yang Tian.

In her most helpless and painful time, it was Yang Tian who extended a helping hand to her.

And now, was she going to kill Yang Tian?

If she didn’t, she would die; the Dark Organization would absolutely not spare her.

Ling Ying truly felt deep hesitation and agony within.

She sighed in her heart: Let it depend on circumstances...

At that moment, Yang Tian and Ling Ying returned to the hotel to rest.

The next morning, Yang Tian woke everyone up early, preparing to search for the basement.

"Ling Ying, are you going somewhere?"

As everyone just stepped out of the hotel entrance, they saw a man standing with flowers.

It was none other than Zhu Chaoying’s assistant, Zhang Xiaojie.

This Zhang Xiaojie was Ling Ying’s partner from the orphanage. As soon as he saw Ling Ying, he came forward, handing her flowers.

Ling Ying frowned, not taking the flowers, but turned to Yang Tian and said: "Yang, I’ll take you to find the basement. It’s in a small abandoned hut in the forest, but that hut has disappeared recently, so finding it is a bit tricky... but I’ll now lead you to search for it..."

"Yes."

Yang Tian nodded and was about to walk forward.

But at that moment, Zhang Xiaojie suddenly threw the flowers to the ground, blocking Yang Tian: "Yang Tian, yesterday you painted my mentor with disgrace, today I challenge you! If you lose, leave Ling Ying immediately!"

Yang Tian frowned.

Ling Ying standing nearby was somewhat displeased, wanting to say something.

But Zhang Xiaojie continued: "Aren’t you looking for the hut in the forest? I know where it is. Today, I challenge Yang Tian; if he wins, I’ll take him to find the hut! If he loses, he must leave Ling Ying!"
