There was no reaction in the underground garage, but Su Fan knew the other party was definitely hiding nearby. He didn't let down his guard.
The garage Su Fan was in was a large public underground parking lot, filled with many luxury cars and support pillars.
Su Fan didn't know where the person who attacked him was.
"Hiding like a coward, come out if you dare," Su Fan said to his surroundings as he cautiously moved forward.
The garage was very quiet, and Su Fan's voice echoed.
*Whoosh!*
Su Fan's ears twitched as he felt a whistling sound from behind him. He immediately rolled to the left to dodge.
A red throwing knife whizzed past Su Fan and embedded itself in a pillar in front of him.
Su Fan quickly turned around, but the throwing knife had come from the direction of a solid wall, with no one there.
As soon as Su Fan turned, several more red throwing knives shot out from behind him, aiming for his vital points.
Su Fan's brow furrowed.
He leaped high into the air, and three red throwing knives embedded themselves in the ground where he had just been.
Who could it be? Su Fan was puzzled.
This hidden enemy seemed tricky. Their ability allowed them to attack him without revealing themselves.
A thought flashed through Su Fan's mind, and he immediately released a thick cloud of smoke that quickly covered the entire underground garage.
Su Fan hadn't used his smoke-generating ability in a long time. He always carried the Phantom Spirit Ring because of its phantom spirit abilities, finding it very useful and a great boost to his strength.
Since the other party was hiding and wouldn't come out, he decided to make it fair by taking away their sight.
As Su Fan's strength increased, he could create more smoke. He easily filled the entire garage, reducing visibility to less than a meter.
Su Fan simply closed his eyes and relied on his senses to perceive the surroundings.
*Swish!*
Su Fan's ears twitched.
He felt a silhouette quickly pass by to his right.
Because the other party was too fast, Su Fan didn't have time to intercept him.
*Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!*...
Suddenly, Su Fan felt countless attacks coming from all around him, with at least a dozen throwing knives targeting his position.
The opponent had resorted to area-of-effect attacks, covering most of Su Fan's immediate vicinity, leaving him nowhere to escape.
However, this also allowed Su Fan to discern the opponent's general direction: front right!
"Hah!"
Su Fan roared, and a tangible surge of true qi erupted from his body. The throwing knives near him were instantly deflected as if they had hit steel plates.
*Clatter!*
With a soft sound, the throwing knives fell to the ground, causing Su Fan no harm.
Su Fan stomped his foot and charged towards the front right.
The beast that had ambushed Su Fan seemed to sense Su Fan's movement and quickly retreated, intending to escape.
Without visibility, they were in the same disadvantageous position as Su Fan.
Now that he had been discovered, he was at a further disadvantage and couldn't hesitate. He had to run!
Su Fan charged forward. The opponent was now within his perception range, and every move they made was displayed in Su Fan's mind.
"Horizontal Style, Sky Slash!"
Su Fan unleashed a sword qi attack forward.
By the time the person realized the danger approaching from behind, it was too late. Su Fan's sword qi was already upon them.
*Squelch!*
Blood splattered as the sword qi struck the opponent's shoulder, leaving a gaping wound.
Su Fan pursued with his sword, bringing it down towards the opponent's head.
*Clang!*
With a crisp sound, a samurai sword blocked Su Fan's blade.
"Go!"
Kyo, who had come to rescue him, told the injured Oga.
Yimura Oga didn't waste any words. He scrambled to his feet and ran.
"Assassin's Alliance!"
Hearing the opponent's accent, Su Fan immediately recalled two members from the Assassin's Alliance rankings.
Imura Oga and Kyo, both from the island nation, one skilled in stealth and hidden weapons, the other a master of swordsmanship.
Kyo clearly had no intention of fighting Su Fan. He blocked Su Fan's sword and threw two small spheres.
The spheres exploded in front of Su Fan with a "boom," releasing a pungent, eye-stinging smoke.
"Cough cough! Damn it! Did you put chili powder in your smoke bombs? That's so f***ing low!"
Su Fan was severely choked.
By the time Su Fan recovered, the two had already slipped away.
"Seriously low, putting chili powder in there, what were they thinking? Maybe I'll make some myself sometime."
Su Fan said speechlessly.
He hadn't expected the Assassin's Alliance to send two more people so soon. It seemed that since no one had reported back, the Assassin's Alliance still didn't take Su Fan too seriously, only sending the two lowest-ranked members.
Su Fan picked up the empty smoke bomb casing from the ground, which still contained residual chili powder.
...
Kyo and Oga ran all the way to the outskirts before stopping.
"How are you?" Kyo asked Oga.
"I won't die," Oga gasped, his clothes soaked in blood.
Oga removed his shirt, revealing a shocking knife wound on his right shoulder.
Kyo's brow furrowed.
"This wound is entwined with a domineering energy that is preventing it from healing," Kyo immediately identified the problem with Oga's injury.
Oga's wound was still bleeding profusely, and ordinary methods couldn't stop it.
"What!" Oga exclaimed in shock.
He knew what this meant.
Only SS-class ability users could channel their internal energy into their techniques and leave it on the opponent's body for an extended period.
For martial artists, one needed to reach the Yuheng realm. After the Yuheng realm, their true qi underwent a qualitative change, and the energy attached to their attacks would remain in the opponent's wound, hindering its healing.
If injured by a Yuheng realm expert and unable to resolve it, one could only await death.
There were only two ways to resolve it.
One was to seek the help of an SS-class expert to expel the opponent's energy from the body, and the other was to use a large amount of rare heavenly treasures for healing and survival.
Unfortunately, they couldn't achieve either of these methods for the time being.
"What do we do?" Oga panicked.
Kyo looked at Oga with an indifferent gaze.
"Kyo, you have to save me! We still have to go back home and retire together!"
Oga's only hope was the Kyo in front of him. At this rate of bleeding, he would soon lose consciousness, and if no one carried him, he would surely die.
"The closest SS-class expert to China in the organization is Yan Shen, and he's currently in Russia. Do you think you can hold on until then?"
Kyo felt that Oga's struggle was futile; he was destined to die, and the outcome was already decided.
"I can! I really can! Don't give up on me!" Oga's tears streamed down his face as he tightly grabbed Kyo and shouted.
Kyo remained expressionless.
They had come to the same place, and he didn't want to watch Oga die like this.
"Where are your hidden enhancers? Don't waste them. I'll take care of your wife and children for you later," Kyo said calmly.
