442: Chapter 442 [The Ghost Head God of Killing] 442: Chapter 442 [The Ghost Head God of Killing] “It’s actually you?”
Rattlesnake exclaimed in shock, recognizing that the person wearing the Ghost Head Mask with disheveled hair was the monster imprisoned on the third level.
The man in the Ghost Head Mask said nothing, merely gazing indifferently at Rattlesnake.
Rattlesnake’s heart trembled, believing his ability to hide was exceptional, yet he had been easily found by the other, and he had just witnessed the death of Blood Wolf, still clueless about how Blood Wolf’s head had come off.
“Who on Earth are you?” Rattlesnake asked, on alert.
The Ghost Head Mask wearer stood there, his posture as upright as a straight steel spear.
Rattlesnake knew very well that his decades of practiced assassination techniques were useless against this demonic man.
It was because of the man’s terrifying, dismissive eyes that all tricks seemed like child’s play to him.
The Ghost Head Mask wearer had not displayed any weapons, yet Rattlesnake felt that every part of his body was a weapon for killing, or rather, that his very body and soul had long since been honed into an instrument of murder, with a murderous intent embedded in his soul, ready to unleash an apocalyptic strike once released.
Even a gaze can be a weapon, a gaze can also kill.
At this moment, Rattlesnake felt powerless, the man before him too terrifying, even dozens of times more so than his master, the top Assassin in Asia.
However, Rattlesnake knew that the only way to survive was to kill the man before him.
Rattlesnake’s vigilance peaked, his eyes narrowed to their most dangerous, his body tensed, ready to strike at any moment like a sharpened sword.
Rattlesnake was also an extremely formidable figure, stronger even than Blood Wolf, and even without the Assassin’s stealth, he was a force to be reckoned with.
Their gazes met, fierce and colliding harshly as if even the air was rippling, almost as though space itself was about to twist, with faint sounds of tearing through the air.
“Swoosh!”
At that moment, as if ripples disturbed a calm lake, both moved simultaneously and without warning.
To one’s surprise, their bodies did not touch, nor did they clash, passing by each other like two parallel lines.
After passing by, Rattlesnake stood where the Ghost Head Mask wearer had been, and the Ghost Head Mask wearer took Rattlesnake’s former spot, their backs to each other, as if their paths had never crossed.
“Puff puff puff puff…”
But the next second, an abrupt change occurred; Rattlesnake’s body burst forth with over a dozen gashes, blood spraying everywhere, as if in an instant all of Rattlesnake’s blood was let out.
In that brief moment of crossing paths, the two had not remained idle.
Instead, the Ghost Head Mask wearer had unleashed more than a dozen deadly strikes in that fleeting instant, regrettably, Rattlesnake didn’t block a single one.
Plump!
In the end, Rattlesnake’s body thunderously hit the ground, his lips lightly quivering, as if muttering something.
The Ghost Head Mask wearer’s clothes fluttered without wind, his eyes revealing a war intent as high as the heavens, his thin lips parted lightly, “The Ghost Head God of Killing from the Dragon Knight Forbidden Army is back!”
…
Suddenly, the prison descended into chaos, especially with the alarm sounding non-stop.
“What’s going on?
Old Hou!” Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help asking.
Lord Hou looked panicked, urgently saying, “Something big must have happened, this has never occurred before!”
Ye Chenfeng looked at him, “You know, Old Hou, I’ve heard you’re one of the four Heavenly Kings here, why are you so scared?”
“Ah, Brother Ye, you don’t understand!” Lord Hou shook his head repeatedly.
Soon after, a large number of guards rushed over and took Ye Chenfeng and the others away.
The third level of the West Tower.
The last iron door swung open, revealing soldiers lying scattered on the ground at the entrance.
“What happened?” the Warden asked with a dark expression.
“The Warden, he has escaped, and he’s killed Rattlesnake, Blood Wolf, and others!”
The Warden was even more puzzled and couldn’t help asking, “How did Rattlesnake and the others get involved in this?”
The subordinates he glanced at were panicking inside, and they all lowered their heads.
“It’s bad, Warden, Mayor Su has come personally!”
The Warden was about to say something but then heard the news from his subordinates and quickly stepped away.
“I wasn’t aware Mayor Su was coming, I hope…” The Warden just wanted to say some words of courtesy.
But he saw Su Hang handing over a document directly, “Release them immediately!
Both Ye Chenfeng and Chen Xijun are to be freed!”
Following behind Su Hang were not only Ji Qiushui but also Wang Zhan.
“This…” The Warden’s face was full of hesitation, but when he opened the document, he was shocked.
The Warden immediately said, “I will release them at once!”
“I’d like to see who dares to release them?” A thunderous shout came, and Tie Long appeared with his hands behind his back, while Gu Shaoqing had a grim face following him.
“Su Hang, right?
This has nothing to do with you, leave immediately!” Tie Long called out Su Hang’s name with no hesitation whatsoever.
At that moment, Ji Qiushui stepped forward, and Tie Long and his people were greatly alarmed at the sight.
“General Ji, what are you doing here?” Tie Long exclaimed in disbelief.
Gu Shaoqing’s face was as colorful as it could be, and his gaze was flickering uncertainly, thinking of many things.
Ji Qiushui nodded, “Divine Detective Tie!
I am taking charge of this case now.
If you have any doubts, you can go directly and ask Chief Commander Fu!”
Ji Qiushui was cool and unyielding, her spoken words edged with sharpness.
Tie Long, surprised, took the document and after reading it, his face showed a helpless expression, “But does this mean my disciple died in vain?
I, Tie Long, cannot accept this, even if this is what Chief Ji intends!”
“Divine Detective Tie, a soldier should regard obedience to orders as his sacred duty!” Ji Qiushui said coldly.
“Actually, Uncle Master Tie Long, disciple Peng Yu was not killed by Ye Chenfeng or Chen Xijun!” At that moment, a voice suddenly remembered.
“What?”
All eyes shifted in unison to the speaker, Liang Hongjun.
“What’s going on?” Tie Long’s face showed a trace of anger.
“Peng Yu was killed that night right in front of me, but I was seriously injured and utterly powerless to save him!
However, I am certain the person was neither Ye Chenfeng nor Chen Xijun,” Liang Hongjun said.
Tie Long suddenly grabbed Liang Hongjun and roared, “Then why didn’t you say so earlier?”
“I was afraid no one would believe me if I spoke out, I truly let down apprentice brother Peng Yu…” Liang Hongjun kept shouting.
Seeing this, Ji Qiushui nodded, “Divine Detective Tie, can I take the people away now?”
Tie Long didn’t speak or even give her a glance.
“Brother Ye, I heard someone escaped from prison!” Lord Hou said with a pun.
Ye Chenfeng chuckled, “Is Lord Hou suggesting I should have escaped too?”
“No, escaping from prison could cost you your head!…” Lord Hou explained.
“0476, you are free to go!”
