"New Dragon King?!"
San Liu heard the sound, turned around, and stared at Mu Jinyu expressionlessly as he spoke softly.
He had actually heard soone approaching from behind already.
He knew it must have been that woman who had sneakily run away during the conflict to tip off the New Dragon King.
However, he was a super first-class assassin, and even though he knew the New Dragon King was coming, it would have been too deaning to turn around before Mu Jinyu spoke first. So, he kept his back to Mu Jinyu until Mu Jinyu spoke, and only then did he turn around.
Mu Jinyu looked at San Liu, a rather handso man who appeared to be in his late twenties.
If encountered elsewhere, one would find it hard to believe that he was the notoriously unreliable but fearso super first-class assassin, San Liu!
Mu Jinyu didn't rush to confront San Liu imdiately, recalling the information Mu Hongchen had given him and comparing it to the current situation.
San Liu was a stingy assassin who, while on a mission, usually didn't rush to kill but dawdled around to find other contracts in the sa area and would then carry out these missions together.
And if they were not his targets, even if they attacked him, he generally wouldn't kill them because he felt that each person who died by his hand should be worth billions in bounty; ordinary people didn't deserve to die by his blade, otherwise, each slash ant billions in losses, which would pain him...
The current situation was indeed as Mu Hongchen had described: these regular mbers of Dragon King Hall, upon San Liu's intrusion, did not hesitate to attack him, but only inflicted severe injuries without causing any deaths.
For such a money-loving stingy person, if given enough money, might he divulge Naless?
Of course, Mu Jinyu knew that without defeating San Liu first, no amount of money would make him divulge Naless.
After all, this fellow, like Naless, had strong professional ethics and would only possibly consider revealing Naless for a fee not inferior to the bounty, under unachievable circumstances.
Anyway, Naless was not his employer. Fresh chapters posted on NoveI[F]ire
"You are very bold, daring to co here alone seeking death."
Mu Jinyu glanced at Naless a few tis. Thoughts whirled through his mind, then he chuckled lightly, hands behind his back, and said coldly to San Liu.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the New Dragon King really is young. So the picture wasn't photoshopped, huh!"
San Liu didn't care about Mu Jinyu's words. After sizing him up a few tis, he began to marvel.
Having said this, San Liu then raised a hand, brandishing a kitchen knife and shouted at Mu Jinyu, "Co on, let's have a duel."
"Why should I duel with you?" Mu Jinyu said. "You've co to kill , why should I duel with you?"
"Because I'm not here to assassinate you," San Liu confidently declared.
"If I chose to assassinate you, with you being unguarded, do you think the situation would be good?"
Speaking, San Liu looked at Mu Jinyu with a smile that was not quite a smile and said, "I know Naless must have approached you by now, you must be very cautious of this venomous snake, right? You'd really hope for him to co out and face you in a duel, no?"
Mu Jinyu, hearing San Liu's words, showed little change in expression, yet his pupils involuntarily contracted slightly.
San Liu was indeed not wrong.
If Naless would co out instead of hiding in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity, he would of course prefer to have a one-on-one duel with Naless.
Whether in life or death, it would not involve those around him.
The situation really complicated things for him, and he couldn't just wait to be slaughtered, dying at the hands of Naless to end this assassination ordeal.
"See, didn't I tell you?" San Liu chuckled, twirling the kitchen knife in his hand, "If you were to join forces with Beidou Tianshu against , of course, I wouldn't stand a chance, but I'm not one to suffer losses easily. I would just hide like Naless, always ready to trouble you. Do you really want to see that happen?"
Mu Jinyu sneered, "Why don't I join forces with Ah-Xiang and take you down right here? Wouldn't that solve the problem?"
San Liu laughed scornfully, not caring in the least, "Then co and try, and see if my movent technique is as strong as Naless'. In the world of assassins, the strongest skill isn't Martial Arts but Qinggong. Top-grade assassins have super first-class escape skills."
When Mu Jinyu heard San Liu's words, he knew he was definitely not joking.
San Liu had survived all this ti with such a killing style, undefeated; naturally, he had so superior abilities, perhaps even more troubleso than Naless on so levels!
"Fine, I accept your challenge."
Mu Jinyu no longer hesitated and agreed to the challenge.
"Dragon Master!"
Xiang Mantang, standing by the side, upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, suddenly couldn't hide his anxious expression and quickly said, "Let handle it."
"You want a relay battle? I don't agree."
Upon hearing this, San Liu flatly refused.
Speaking of it, he felt a bit embarrassed and cowardly, so he added, "If it were against first-class experts, I wouldn't mind a relay battle, but you all are among the strongest contemporary fighters, super first-class experts. A relay battle wouldn't be fair, winning that way wouldn't be honorable..."
"No worries, I won't lose to him,"
Xiang Mantang still wanted to say sothing, but Mu Jinyu waved his hand at Xiang Mantang and then gave him a look, seeing which Xiang Mantang didn't say anything more.
That look from Mu Jinyu ant to tell him if there was a sign he was losing against San Liu, he should imdiately step in to save him; if not, just stay on the sidelines.
Mu Jinyu wasn't the type to resort to such despicable tactics, but with assassins targeting him and provoking him with their words, he had no choice but to face San Liu in a duel.
If there was indeed a threat to his life, naturally, he couldn't just let Xiang Mantang stand by and watch, engaging in a naive duel to the death.
Survival bore hope, and now carrying the hopes and dreams of many, he could hardly afford to sacrifice recklessly.
San Liu noticed their covert communication but didn't care.
After all, at close range, if he had a chance to kill Mu Jinyu, even if Xiang Mantang were supporting from the sidelines, he could kill Mu Jinyu within a second and quickly escape the area, leaving Xiang Mantang to deal with the aftermath!
"Make your move!"
After their silent communication, Mu Jinyu, with one hand behind his back, lightly motioned to San Liu with the other and spoke in a calm tone.
"It's inconvenient to fight here, what if we damage the flowers and plants? Follow ,"
Having said that, without giving Mu Jinyu and the others a chance to respond, San Liu's figure flashed, casting a trail of afterimages as he floated toward the exit.
This movent technique made Mu Jinyu and Xiang Mantang's pupils shrink slightly, tacitly praising the impressive Qinggong.
Then, seeing San Liu about to leave the courtyard, Mu Jinyu and Xiang Mantang hesitated no more and hurriedly followed.
