Chapter 107: Chapter 106: Nine Revolutions Heavenly Spirit Needle_l
Translator: 549690339
“Who are you!”
Cosmo squinted her eyes and gripped the curved blade in her hand tightly.
The reason she had sared poison on her needles was that she couldn’t control the force of the Nine-Turn Spirit Needle, which ant that she could only injure people, but not kill them!
But this secret was known only to her!
Feeling soone suddenly ntion it, she sensed a chill run down her spine.
“Who I am, don’t you know?”
Julius Reed turned his back to her, seemingly unafraid of a potential surprise attack.
This question, however, left Cosmo at a loss for words.
She had accepted the bounty, co over to kill soone, and now she was asking the other party who they were!
It was indeed a bit silly.
But the dignity of the Empress could not be trampled upon!
“Speak, how did you find out!”
She couldn’t rest easy without getting an answer to this matter. Moreover, if the news leaked, it would be extrely disadvantageous to her!
Who knows how many people were aware of her weakness? In the world of Shadow Warriors, every vulnerability was potentially lethal!
“There are five n over there, sneaking around. If you help take care of them, I will naturally solve your puzzle.”
Julius Reed still had his back to her, pointing with his left hand in the southwest direction.
“Damn it!”
Through his binoculars, Mr. Immortal cursed under his breath.
He clearly saw the target pointing in their direction, and at the sa ti, Cosmo’s gaze began to shift toward them.
“Boss, we’ve been exposed!”
Mr. Immortal frowned deeply.
This wasn’t supposed to happen! They had concealed their presence and made no movents; years of experience as Shadow Warriors should have kept them undetected while hidden here.
“Wait! Everyone, don’t move rashly, it might be a trick!”
The boss, being older and more experienced, appeared mature and steady in this situation.
In many operations, those with so experience would feign to probe for hidden dangers around them.
Many rash and restless Shadow Warriors, lacking a steady mindset, might jump out and expose themselves.
“The boss is right!”
They all quickly agreed.
They had been through many operations and each of their skills was quite formidable. Moreover, during this ti, they hadn’t made a single sound.
If they had been discovered lurking half the day here, they would have been exposed when Fujita Tooi made his move, and not just now.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
But before they could finish speaking, a series of silver needles pierced the air, speeding towards the Five Tigers!
“Dodge!”
The mont they heard the noise, they all swiftly retreated backwards!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The silver needles sliced through the forest, nailing into the tree trunks behind them.
“Co out!”
Cosmo looked into the woods and called out coldly.
She had not noticed the Five Tigers; their ability to conceal their presence was very good. Had it not been for Julius Reed pointing out the precise direction, she would probably have remained oblivious even until the end.
Thinking this, Cosmo’s look toward Julius Reed grew even more complicated!
His senses were superior to hers, and he knew the weakness of her prized Nine-Turn Spirit Needle—what kind of person was he?
“Empress! It is an honor!”
Just then, the Five Tigers erged from the forest, looking sowhat disheveled.
The leading boss walked out shirtless, with a fierce tiger tattooed on his chest. “To think who it was! It turns out to be the Five Rats!”
Upon seeing the five n, Cosmo sneered, “Such esteed Shadow Warriors, hiding like rats in the dark, aren’t you afraid of losing face if word gets out?”
Unlike the Five Tigers, Cosmo was an Easterner, and moreover, a pure-blooded Chinese.
However, after gaining a modicum of fa, she had always been operating in the Western world, which earned her the title of Empress.
“We just happened to see the Empress take action and thought it inappropriate to disturb her, so we hid in the dark,” said Mr. Immortal, with sunglasses on and a grin.
In a night as dark as this where you could hardly see your hand in front of you, those sunglasses always felt peculiar.
“Before Fujita Tooi arrived, you were already there. Five grown n lying without blushing?”
Julius Reed spoke to the others with his back turned to them, as if he were muttering to himself.
“Shut up!”
At his words, the Five Tigers’ complexions changed instantly.
Who was this person they were targeting, to detect their presence! It ant the other party had known about their location all along but had been silent about
Reflecting on the scene of Fujita Tooi’s defeat, they began to ponder.
It seed the intelligence was flawed; their target was sowhat troubleso.
“Hmph! Are you thinking of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?”
Cosmo asked coldly.
She knew the Five Tigers well; they were no good, unscrupulous in their actions!
They were quintessential Shadow Warriors, without a bottom line, willing to do anything to achieve their objectives!
Looking at Julius Reed’s back, Cosmo felt a chill. Were they to really fight and the Five Tigers launched a sneak attack from behind, she might get injured!
With five opponents and in a foreign land, an injury would make it difficult to escape!
There were many who had taken up the bounty, with countless eyes watching in secret.
“Empress, may I make a suggestion?”
Baron Grey loosened the buttons on his floral shirt and spoke up, “As you can see, the target is very different from what we imagined. Fujita Tooi is strong but was defeated by him.”
After a pause, he continued, “With countless eyes upon us, if we start fighting, we will certainly allow others to reap the benefits. Better we join forces, kill him, and split the bounty!”
“Indeed! Otherwise, if we fight, it will benefit others! You should be clear about the consequences of getting injured in a foreign land,” said the leader sternly, his words laced with a hint of warning.
“Fujita Tooi, if it were any other ti, he could have fled and you wouldn’t be able to keep him. Though he isn’t your match, Ninjutsu is not as simple as we imagined!”
The fourth man, pointing at Fujita Tooi’s body and licking his lips, said, “Empress, there’s no deadly feud between us. Why not split the bounty, to the satisfaction of all?”
According to their knowledge, there were many who had taken the bounty, and they were just the first batch to arrive at Gonzalez City.
As more and more Shadow Warriors arrived, things would beco even more complicated!
Cosmo gazed at the corpse of Fujita Tooi on the ground and began to contemplate deeply.
The others were right. Although Fujita Tooi was no match for her, if he wanted to flee, she might truly be unable to keep him.
The reason she could kill him with the nine-turn celestial needle was that Fujita Tooi had already been injured in his fight with Julius Reed!
“Empress, understand the situation!”
Seeing her deep in thought, the leader spoke up again.
As Cosmo looked at Julius Reed’s silhouette, she faced a dilemma. If she killed the target, she didn’t know when her doubts would be cleared.
But if not, should she let the Five Tigers take the bounty? This wasn’t just a monetary loss, the damage to her reputation would be even greater!
“It’s simple for you to kill those five without getting injured,”
Just then, Julius Reed slowly stood up and walked over to Fujita Tooi’s body.
“Naive boy, today we will join forces with the Empress and kill you right here!”
Seeing that Cosmo did not speak, the Five Tigers knew her answer.
“Is that so?”
Julius Reed crouched down, took a silver needle from Fujita Tooi’s body, and suddenly flicked it into the sea!
Splash!
On the calm sea surface, a mist of water erupted!
