729: C729 Endless Assassination Three

C729 Endless Assassination Three

"Right now."

Yang Xuan let out a soft shout, and the wooden sword fell into his hand. He forced Red Lotus to continuously retreat. Finally, Red Lotus was forced to the side of the wall in the room by Yang Xuan. There were a few pieces of wood lying on the ground beside the wall. The pieces of wood were just ordinary pieces of wood. They were not hard either. With Yang Xuan and Red Lotus's current strength, even if they used just a little bit of force, they could still shatter the wood into a pile of wood shavings.

However, just as Yang Xuan forced Red Lotus to the wall, Red Lotus's heel stepped on the wood.

Red Lotus' foot was extremely strong. With just one step, the wood was trampled into a pile of wood shavings. But at the same time, Red Lotus's body also trembled because of the unexpected change under her feet.

This subtle trembling caused Red Lotus to be slightly distracted at this moment, even though she reacted at the first moment. Even so, Yang Xuan still seized this opportunity. The wooden sword in his hand instantly stabbed three times in three different directions, as if three swords were attacking Red Lotus at the same time.

Red Lotus's feet suddenly shook. The Spiritual Force exploded, causing her to retreat a few meters. Although this kind of rough method consumed a lot of Spiritual Force energy, at this critical moment... Red Lotus could no longer care about these things.

Seeing Red Lotus retreat, Yang Xuan, who was already prepared, took the opportunity to move forward. A palm landed on Red Lotus's fair and delicate neck and exerted a little force.

"Let me go."

Red Lotus's eyes stared fiercely at Yang Xuan as her body continuously struggled. However, how could Yang Xuan let Red Lotus go so easily? His hand that was holding Red Lotus's neck slightly increased the strength in his hand. The place where Red Lotus was grabbed by Yang Xuan started to turn red.

Although Red Lotus was only struggling now, she did not fight back. However, Yang Xuan was still holding the wooden sword tightly in his hand as he was wary of Red Lotus. At the same time, he looked at Red Lotus helplessly and said, "Ai, you said such a beautiful girl, what's wrong with her? Why must she commit murder and arson?"

"None of your business, let go of me."

Red Lotus grabbed Yang Xuan's arm with both hands and kept exerting force. She tried to break free from Yang Xuan's grip. At the same time, she scolded Yang Xuan, "Also, who is this little brat calling a little girl? It's enough for me to be your mother in my grade."

Only now did Yang Xuan remember that Red Lotus had been imprisoned in Imperial Prison for more than ten years. At that time, he might just be a little boy learning how to speak. If that was the case, it was indeed inappropriate for him to call Red Lotus a little girl.

However, now was not the time to be conflicted about this. Yang Xuan suddenly laughed. That smile was very similar to the way a hooligan by the roadside would pull on someone else's daughter and tease her. Red Lotus looked at Yang Xuan vigilantly, not knowing what he was up to. But looking at that expression, it was as if she was guarding against Yang Xuan suddenly acting up and doing something despicable to her.

"Don't worry. You just said that you are old enough to be my mother. I am not interested in you!"

Yang Xuan smiled and continued, "But what do you think I should do with you?"

"Kill me. Anyway, I have been here long enough."

"How could I bear to? Although you are old, you are still a beautiful woman, aren't you?"

Yang Xuan thought for a while and said, "I am in a good mood today, so I won't make things difficult for you. You can leave!"

After saying that, Yang Xuan let go of Red Lotus's hand. Red Lotus didn't react in time and fell to the ground. Red Lotus jumped up from the ground and looked at Yang Xuan vigilantly, not knowing what he meant.

"Are you really going to let me go?"

Red Lotus frowned. After making sure that Yang Xuan didn't do anything to her, she asked doubtfully. Yang Xuan nodded slightly and said, "A man never goes back on his words. If you don't leave now, I will change my mind."

Hearing Yang Xuan's words, Red Lotus's eyes sparkled and said, "Even if you say so, I will not let it go just like that."

After saying that, Red Lotus snorted coldly and turned around to run away. After a few leaps, she disappeared without a trace.

One month later.

Before dawn arrived, Yang Xuan closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the bed. One Spiritual Force after another flowed back and forth between Yang Xuan's breath, producing waves of white fog. The Black Panther lay beside Yang Xuan's feet, sleeping soundly.

Outside the window, a red shadow flashed past and quickly disappeared.

Yang Xuan, who was sitting on the bed, still maintained his original movements, as if he did not notice the movement outside the window. In the darkness, something seemed to have entered Yang Xuan's room.

Yang Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, and a hand suddenly grabbed in front of him, even though there was nothing there. A muffled groan came from the darkness. Yang Xuan stretched out his hand and pulled back, pulling a figure over.

It was Red Lotus.

"I knew you would come back. Today is the last day."1

In the darkness, Yang Xuan's voice was heard, and he said to Red Lotus. Red Lotus was grabbed by Yang Xuan's hand. It struggled a few times, but it didn't break free from Yang Xuan's wrist.

In this month's time, Yang Xuan had been assassinated by Red Lotus more than fifty times. Of course, including this time, there were more than fifty times. Red Lotus did not succeed even once. However, Yang Xuan didn't gain nothing either. Every time Red Lotus tried to assassinate Yang Xuan, they all use different methods. And as these new methods continued to be updated, Yang Xuan gradually gained a better understanding of Red Lotus's assassination methods.

Today was the last day of the one month deadline that Lee Zong had set. If Red Lotus did not succeed before dawn, this also meant that Red Lotus would gain nothing from the resources that Lee Zong had promised Red Lotus. However, during the last period of time before dawn, Red Lotus had made her move. However, she did not succeed.

However, Red Lotus did not seem to give up. After her extended arm was grabbed by Yang Xuan, she struggled violently for a moment before suddenly throwing away the dagger in her hand. She turned her palm into a claw and clawed at Yang Xuan's chest. Yang Xuan's expression changed slightly. He jumped up from the bed. He jumped into the air. He could clearly feel that between the fingers of Red Lotus, it carried a sharp aura. If he had reacted slightly slower just now... Maybe the red lotus will scratch his chest.

The strike didn't succeed, but Red Lotus used this opportunity to break free from Yang Xuan's restraints. She retreated and disappeared into the air.

The Black Panther, who had been sleeping by the bed, opened its eyes at this moment and said in surprise, "Spatial Shift Technique?"

"Spatial Shift Technique, what is that?"

Yang Xuan's puzzled voice sounded. At the same time, the expression on his face became somewhat ugly. Just now, after Red Lotus took a step back, Yang Xuan was surprised to find that... Red Lotus seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth, disappearing without a trace.
