Chapter Seven Hundred and Twenty-Sixth: It's You
uth, pretending to listen intently.That dog really barked twice, and Ye Fan knocked its head and scolded, “You dare to lie to me These days, with your personality, who would believe you”The dog barked...Such an atmosphere lasted for how long, no one knew. Suddenly, Ye Fan burst into laughter, a carefree smile on his face as he addressed the figure behind the tree. "There's no need to pretend anymore, I've already seen you." As his laughter subsided, the invisible pressure surrounding them vanished completely.
Ye Fan stared intently at the big tree.
A deathly silence enveloped the surroundings.
Ye Fan did not step forward, he just stared at the big tree.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past, carrying with it a faint scent.
Ye Fan smiled lightly, it turned out to be a woman.
As expected, a woman slowly walked out from behind the big tree. She was dressed in black like a night walker and wore Li Ning hiking shoes on her feet, obviously for convenience while walking mountain paths. Her figure was slender and graceful with vivid and perfect lines, outlining a captivating curve. It's a pity that her facial expression was cold, otherwise she would be another breathtaking beauty.
"It's you" Ye Fan was slightly surprised.
Because the woman standing before him, he had seen her before, she was Miao Rou who had drunk with him at Wenqing Bar last time and claimed to be the proprietress!
Miao Rou didn't speak, but just coldly stared at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan looked at the rose pattern on her neck, and suddenly his heart moved. He couldn't help but ask: "If I'm not mistaken, you are the Black Rose, the number one killer on the Killer List, right"
Legend has it that the Black Rose is a cold-blooded assassin. Her trademark is a blooming rose on her neck. Considering the strange assassination this time, it definitely involves the skills of a top-tier killer. As for why we didn't see the rose at the Warm Embrace Bar last time, she probably used some technique to conceal it.
Miao Rou still did not respond, she continued to stare coldly at Ye Fan.
But Ye Fan knew that his guess was probably about right. This assassin was indeed skilled. Even someone as battle-hardened as him, a god of war, had almost been frightened by her psychological tactics. Such an opponent was truly terrifying!
"How did you know I was behind the tree" Miao Rouhan didn't answer Ye Fan, but instead asked him a cold question. She believed that with her body technique, it would be impossible for Ye Fan to see her.
Ye Fan smiled and said, "If I said I guessed it, would you believe me" Ye Fan hadn't actually seen her hiding behind the tree.
Once again, silence fell. Miao Rou's face remained unchanged, and Ye Fan couldn't tell what she was thinking at this moment.
After a long silence, Miao Rou finally said: "No wonder the assassination mission keeps failing. You're indeed very strong."
So far, only Ye Fan has been able to survive under her careless surveillance. The reason Black Rose managed to secure the top spot on the Assassin List is not because her martial arts skills are the best, but because her murderous cunning is unmatched. She excels at psychological warfare; first, she instills a sense of helplessness in her victims, and then she strikes unexpectedly, often achieving a fatal blow.
People usually have weaknesses, but they are more or less concealed by them. As long as you can find out his weaknesses, it will not be difficult to deal with this person.
Black Rose clearly hadn't expected Ye Fan to answer like that. She didn't know if he was just guessing or had actually seen her behind the tree, but none of that mattered anymore. Since assassination wasn't an option, there was only one other choice: a duel! "Today, one of us has to die here."
Seeing the murderous intent gradually rising in Miao Rou's eyes, Ye Fan hurriedly said: "Hold on, don't make a move. I have a question, can you answer me first"
The Black Rose was taken aback, but still said, "Ask away, I might not answer." As a killer, she shouldn't communicate too much with the assassination target, but Miao Rou respected this opponent. If it wasn't against organizational discipline, she wouldn't hide anything.
"Do you have a grudge against me" Ye Fan probed. He knew that the assassin's rule was that they wouldn't expose their employer, so he had to ask this way.
"Deep hatred!" Miao Rou suddenly gritted her teeth and said, looking at Ye Fan's eyes with a fierce light.
Ye Fan was stunned. He had never met her before, so when did they become enemies How could he not know
"So you came to kill me of your own accord"
"Don't you think you're asking too many questions!" Miao Rou said, and then she ran towards Ye Fan.
If she succeeds this time, Ye Fan naturally wouldn't need to know. If she fails, she will commit suicide by poison, so Ye Fan would have no need to know.
At the same time, Miao Rou already had a gleaming dagger in her hand. She was only a few meters away from Ye Fan originally, and with her unique movement technique, she instantly flashed to Ye Fan's side and struck him with a blow!
Ye Fan remained calm and collected. When Miao Rou made a move, he took the opportunity to pick up a stone from the ground. Just as the knife was about to strike him, Ye Fan launched the stone in his hand. His technique was the Fingertip Divine Ability passed down by the old man. According to the old man, it was learned from Huang Yaoshi's teacher by his teacher. Ye Fan scoffed at this, but his flying stone skill was powerful. Even against He Liang's flying knives, it wouldn't be inferior in any way. It just lacked the incredible maneuverability of those flying knives that could return to the thrower.
And the direction Ye Fan was thrown in happened to be Miao Rou's throat!
The stone shot out, fast as lightning, like a torrent, straight for the vital point!
This is the power of hidden weapons. In a cold weapon battle, extraordinary skills with concealed weapons can throw the opponent into disarray. Even though Miao Rou took the lead with her sword, she still had to be wary of the flying stone. If her swordsmanship remained unchanged, before she could strike, she would be hit by the flying stone herself. The stone was aimed at her vital point. If it landed, she would be defeated first.
Besides, he wasn't sure if his own attack could even fatally wound Ye Fan. This was absolutely unacceptable!
Therefore, Miao Rou had to forcibly stop her body, her eyes like water, her nerves tense, and she slashed straight down at the air!
Only a metallic clang, like swords clashing, was heard. The stone Ye Fan had shot out was knocked away by Miao Rou as it flew rapidly through the air.
Ye Fan knew best the force behind his throw. Although the stone's speed might not surpass a bullet, it wouldn't be far off. The fact that Miao Rou could cleave it apart with a single sword stroke showed she was indeed quite skilled.
"Your eyesight is pretty good, keep catching a few more," Ye Fan said with a grin, but his hands didn't stop. This desolate wasteland was barren, with cliffs everywhere. There wasn't anything else except for an abundance of rocks. He grabbed a handful from the ground.
Ye Fan launched the stones in his hand like a chain reaction. The stones, whistling through the air, made an especially piercing sound.
Miao Rou didn't dare to be careless. She heard from the broken wind that the force of this stone was not light. If she was hit by it, she believed that a hole would definitely be drilled in her body.
Therefore, she constantly waved the silver dagger in her hand. The clang, clang, clang sounds kept ringing out, playing a unique and beautiful piece of music. Ye Fan listened to this sound with joy, hitting stones with great delight. While Miao Rou danced with a dagger so densely that it was impenetrable. Her whole body was covered in a layer of shimmering silver screen, her figure completely invisible. Only the sound of stones being hit kept coming.me whose breathing was labored and wheezy like an ox, taking in little air and expelling much.Anyway, there's everything you can think of. This is a truly old hen!Ye Fan blushed, looking at the propri...
