Kawata Mie walked into the park!
As soon as she entered, rustling sounds came from her side, followed by figures emerging.
A full eight assassins dressed in black surrounded her!
Kawata Mie glanced at these assassins; she didn't recognize them, but their style was the same as the assassins in the Kawata family!
She frowned and asked, "Were you sent by my adoptive father?"
Several assassins did not answer.
However, a voice came from the darkness, "Let me tell you! After you left, the Patriarch sent us to follow you!"
Blood Shadow walked out, dressed in a black robe, his face as pale as no blood, wearing a sinister smile.
Kawata Mie looked at him, somewhat strangely, "Are you from the Kawata family? I've never seen you before?"
"You have!" Blood Shadow smiled.
Kawata Mie furrowed her brow, trying hard to recall. Soon, a figure from the depths of her memory surfaced, and her body trembled, "It's you!"
Back then, she was young, so she couldn't remember her parents' appearances. Even the memory of having an older sister wasn't very clear.
But she would never forget that evil figure!
Her family, the innocent lives on the ship, all dead!
"Haha, you finally remembered. Back then, you were young, and the Patriarch didn't let me kill you. He wanted to adopt you and train you as an assassin."
Blood Shadow smiled and continued, "But I didn't expect you to have such high talent and grow so quickly in strength, to the point where you could bring disaster to the Kawata family in the future."
Kawata Mie's expression changed, her face turning ashen, and she trembled, "You... you mean..."
She finally understood!
Her so-called adoptive father was actually her father's murderer. In the end, she had been kept in the dark and had been grateful.
"Actually, there are many secrets about you and your family background!"
Blood Shadow shook his head and chuckled, "But there's no time for you to know. You can go ask your deceased parents!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the eight assassins surrounding her began to attack Kawata Mie.
These assassins were elites secretly trained by the Kawata family. Although they might not be Kawata Mie's match, with eight of them attacking, she naturally couldn't resist.
Kawata Mie held her samurai sword and fought fiercely in the crowd. Her speed was fast, but she couldn't break through.
After a moment, the battle continued.
Kawata Mie had sustained several injuries, her ponytail had come undone, and her long hair was disheveled. Although she was in a sorry state and wounded, the eight formidable assassin elites couldn't take her down completely for the time being!
Blood Shadow, watching from the side, couldn't help but frown.
The Patriarch's worries were indeed true!
This girl was exceptionally talented. Given a few more years, she would likely be a threat.
They couldn't delay any longer!
Blood Shadow's expression darkened slightly, and with a slight movement of his body, he instantly charged into the crowd, kicking the struggling Kawata Mie flying.
Kawata Mie fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, but gritted her teeth with an unwilling expression.
She had just learned her true enemy and also that she had an older sister, yet she had no more opportunities!
Blood Shadow sneered, "Kill her!"
However, a laugh echoed from not far away, "Yo, it's quite lively here!"
The assassins were about to step forward, but upon hearing the voice, they became alert and looked towards the source of the sound.
Under the dim streetlights, Ye Cangtian walked out slowly, a cigarette dangling from his lips, appearing as if he were just passing by and enjoying the spectacle.
"Ye Cangtian?"
Blood Shadow was startled, then his face broke into a smile. He had originally planned to kill Kawata Mie first and then find an opportunity to deal with Ye Cangtian.
Unexpectedly, the man had delivered himself to his doorstep!
Ye Cangtian walked over, glanced at the badly injured Kawata Mie, and sighed, "Didn't I tell you? You treated them as family, but they wanted to cut off all ties with you!"
Kawata Mie pursed her lips and said nothing.
Ye Cangtian then looked at the figure entirely shrouded in a black robe and said with some surprise, "You must be Blood Shadow, right? Once ranked first on the assassin list, you disappeared for a few years. I thought you were dead, but I didn't expect you to be hiding in the Kawata family."
"So you should be fortunate to die by my hand, Blood Shadow. You should be content!" Blood Shadow said confidently.
He had the right to be confident. As the former number one on the assassin list, he still possessed formidable strength. Dealing with a junior, in Blood Shadow's opinion, was no pressure at all!
Ye Cangtian raised an eyebrow, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly, "I was just about to say, since you're here, everyone stays behind!"
"Relying on you?"
Blood Shadow sneered mockingly.
However, at that moment, the leaves of the surrounding trees rustled in the wind, and soon, footsteps echoed from all around. Several figures appeared in the vicinity.
Zhang Liang and his team had arrived!
"So it's people from the Dragon Group!"
Blood Shadow's expression finally turned grim. He looked up at Ye Cangtian and suddenly sneered, "So what if the Dragon Group is here? Do you really think you can keep me with just you?"
"I'm enough by myself! Brother Zhang, the rest are up to you!"
Ye Cangtian laughed heartily, tossed his cigarette butt, and walked towards Blood Shadow, "I also want to see how strong the former number one assassin on the list truly is!"
"You alone? Then you're seeking death!"
Blood Shadow initially thought the other party would join forces with all the members of the Dragon Group to deal with him. He never expected it to be just Ye Cangtian alone. He truly didn't know if this kid was overconfident or underestimated him.
But that was good too; it would give him an opportunity to kill him!
Thinking this, Blood Shadow instantly moved to meet Ye Cangtian. From within his black robe, a pair of withered hands suddenly emerged, like sharp claws.
Ye Cangtian reacted quickly, instantly shifting to the side, narrowly dodging the other party's claw-like hands. However, his waistcloth was still torn.
"As expected of the former number one assassin, his speed is truly remarkable!"
"Heh heh... your reaction isn't slow, kid. You indeed have the qualifications to spar with me!" Blood Shadow sneered and attacked him again.
Ye Cangtian didn't counterattack, continuously dodging.
Not only was Blood Shadow fast, but more importantly, his blade-like claws were also strange. If he were truly caught by them, it would likely be more unbearable than being struck by a sharp knife.
The opponent was indeed very strong. Even in Ye Cangtian's opinion, no one in the current Dragon Group could probably match this guy.
"Actually, I'm very curious. With your strength, why are you just a dog in the Kawata family? Is there some secret in the Kawata family?"
Ye Cangtian asked curiously while dodging.
Blood Shadow's pupils contracted, and he sneered, "Want to know? You'll find out when you go to hell!"
