Chapter 1151 Did You Hear You Were Going to Deal with Me?
Su Tianci had originally planned to use this opportunity to demonstrate his business acumen to the Su family in the capital. However, things had taken an unexpected turn, forcing him to resort to murder. The assassins Su Tianci hired were among the top five on the Assassin Ranking in Xia Guo, possessing formidable strength capable of a swift kill.
Although he was confident that Chen Xuan could be eliminated, Su Tianci felt no excitement. Killing Chen Xuan this way did not achieve his objective, and the Su family in the capital would not see his strengths, making his trip to the provincial city a wasted effort.
"Then we'll trouble Young Master Tianci!"
Yun Xingguo and Liu Yuan bowed respectfully again.
But at that moment—
"Did you hear you were going to deal with me?"
A voice like a thunderclap echoed from outside!
"Did you hear you were going to deal with me?"
Everyone was stunned at first, then seemed to recall something, their expressions changing drastically: "How did that guy get here? Wasn't he supposed to be dead?"
The God of Death's attendant raised an eyebrow, a glint of sharpness in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure, even showing a hint of disdain.
Indeed, a moment later, the door was kicked open, shattering into pieces. Several Yun family security personnel fell to the ground, clutching their faces and crying out in pain.
A figure walked in with a cold expression.
That figure was none other than Chen Xuan!
"How are you not dead?"
Su Tianci looked at Chen Xuan and exclaimed in disbelief. Others might not know, but he knew how formidable the assassin he hired was, a renowned figure on the assassin list. How could he have failed? Had Chen Xuan managed to escape?
"You're talking about that useless piece of trash, Blade? He couldn't even handle a dagger properly, yet he dared to attempt an assassination. It's truly laughable."
Chen Xuan chuckled. He flicked his arm, and with a *whoosh*, a dagger plunged firmly into the office desk in front of them, vibrating intensely. The dagger was short, a standard assassination dagger. Its matte finish was designed to prevent reflections during a kill, thus avoiding detection. The slender blade bore a deep blood groove, meant to hasten the victim's demise. At the hilt was a striking black and gold tiger emblem. The tiger was lifelike, its fangs bared as if ready to devour someone.
"That's Blade's dagger, the 'Hunting Tiger'..."
Su Tianci recognized the dagger instantly. It was Blade's personal possession and the source of his fame. Blade had no friends throughout his life and once said this dagger was his wife and daughter, highlighting its immense importance to him. Yet, this dagger was now in Chen Xuan's hand, the outcome of which was self-evident.
"You killed Blade?" Su Tianci's face turned grim.
Chen Xuan chuckled, "Not exactly. However, I did sever his hand, so he can no longer wield a dagger. I took his dagger as a memento."
As these words were spoken, the temperature in the living room plummeted several degrees! Su Tianci's expression grew even more unpleasant. Liu Yuan and Yun Xingguo also trembled, sensing that the situation was developing in a detrimental direction.
"Enough with the nonsense. If you don't want to die, hand over my friends quickly, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Chen Xuan, too lazy for further pleasantries, intended to find Situ Qing first.
"Your friends? What friends are you talking about? I have no idea what you're saying." Yun Xingguo frowned.
Chen Xuan's face darkened, "It seems you have no intention of handing them over?"
With that, he lunged, grabbing one of Yun Xingguo's subordinates standing nearby and throwing him violently. The man slammed hard against a bookshelf, causing it to collapse instantly. Books and vases scattered across the floor. As for the subordinate, he spat blood, his face deathly pale, appearing half-dead.
"Hand them over now! If you don't, this will be your fate."
Chen Xuan's gaze, sharp as electricity, swept across the room. Everyone caught in his gaze felt their scalps tingle and their bodies tremble.
"You're going too far! This is not a place for you to run rampant!"
Yun Xingguo roared in anger, "Guards! Chop this guy to pieces and feed him to the dogs!"
In Yun Xingguo's opinion, Chen Xuan was deliberately causing trouble, as he hadn't captured Chen Xuan's friends. This was simply too much. As soon as the words left his mouth, a group of people rushed in from outside, all wielding cleavers. Their gazes were fixed on Chen Xuan, as if intending to tear him apart with their eyes alone.
"Kid, you're too arrogant, daring to storm Lishan Villa single-handedly. You're simply courting death!" Yun Xingguo sneered confidently. Although his men weren't particularly strong, they made up for it in numbers.
"These few insignificant bugs dare to show themselves? How embarrassing?"
Chen Xuan glanced at the Yun family's manpower, scoffing with profound disdain.
"Attack!"
Yun Xingguo immediately shouted. Several lackeys, brandishing cleavers, swung them towards Chen Xuan's head, forming a dense net that left Chen Xuan with no room to dodge. Many onlookers' eyes gleamed with excitement, already envisioning Chen Xuan being dismembered.
However, Chen Xuan's footwork was exceptionally agile. He weaved and dodged, evading all attacks, leaving his assailants swinging at empty air. Su Tianci and the others were all filled with disappointment. Su Tianci, however, felt slightly better, as even Blade had been defeated by Chen Xuan.
"Hmm?"
The God of Death's attendant frowned. Since Chen Xuan's arrival, he hadn't paid him much attention, not even after Chen Xuan defeated Blade. Yet, Chen Xuan's current footwork had caught the attendant's notice. This footwork was rather interesting!
Following Chen Xuan's lead, the massacre began. In just three minutes, the ground was littered with fallen men. Most were barely alive, while others had broken limbs, still breathing but utterly incapacitated. Those outside were too terrified to enter, clearly having been intimidated by the ferocious Chen Xuan. What was more, Chen Xuan appeared to be as vigorous as ever, showing no signs of fatigue. It was evident that this so-called war of attrition, relying on sheer numbers, could not defeat Chen Xuan.
"I said you were useless, and you still didn't believe me. I think you're even worse than useless!" Chen Xuan declared coldly.
Liu Yuan and Yun Xingguo's faces turned black, their reputations utterly ruined! This was clearly a humiliating defeat, and they couldn't help but grit their teeth, as if wanting to grind Chen Xuan's bones to dust.
"Are you convinced now?"
Chen Xuan's arrogant voice echoed. Liu Yuan and Yun Xingguo were now bereft of any means to deal with Chen Xuan.
"Chen Xuan, do you really think you can do whatever you please with your abilities?"
Finally, Su Tianci spoke, his voice exceedingly cold.
"It seems you're still not convinced!"
Chen Xuan turned his gaze to Su Tianci, a playful smile gracing his lips, his eyes filled with mockery. Su Tianci glanced at the God of Death's attendant beside him, his tone tinged with respect: "God of Death's attendant, I'll have to trouble you to act this time."
"Very well, I'll meet this young man."
The God of Death's attendant, clad in a blood-red robe, suddenly stood up, a sinister grin spreading across his face as he stared at Chen Xuan. His eyes revealed intense curiosity, as if he intended to dissect Chen Xuan with a blade. Chen Xuan scrutinized the God of Death's attendant, frowning, and asked, "Are you Death Scythe?"
Judging by his tone, Chen Xuan seemed to recognize the man.
