397: 0396 King Butcher 397: 0396 King Butcher The people who had dared to kill Ye Qiu had already t their demise, many of them being quite powerful, and thus the figures in this area of the forest had suddenly reduced significantly.
The ones who remained were either extrely confident and fearless or were blinded by greed, determined to claim that hundreds of millions bounty.
Caroline left the hospital room, but two people followed her, as it was a condition for her being allowed out of the room.
Caroline didn’t mind, having two people behind her simply ant they wanted to monitor every move she made; if her uncle wanted to watch her, she’d let him watch.
As soon as she left the hospital, she imdiately started looking for information about Ye Qiu.
Caroline logged onto the website of the underground world, which was filled with information about the assassin realm and high-profile martial artists from around the world, everything you could think of.
On the hopage, Caroline saw a striking headline: “Chinese Martial Artist Ye Qiu, suddenly enters the top ten of the danger rankings.”
“Given his strength, it’s not surprising he entered the danger rankings, but this list appeared after he retired.
It suddenly rose to the tenth place, did he do sothing astonishing?” Caroline had so understanding of Ye Qiu’s capabilities, and seeing his sudden appearance on the rankings, she showed a trace of astonishnt.
She clicked on the headline and carefully looked through the details.
Monts later, a hint of happiness and a sigh of relief appeared on Caroline’s face.
“This guy, he has killed so many tough martial artists, it’s good he’s okay, it’s good he’s okay.” Caroline patted her sturdy chest; being in the hospital, she was cut off from news, but now seeing that Ye Qiu was still hopping around, and had taken down so many experts to rise to the tenth position, she instantly relaxed.
Caroline’s eyes flashed repeatedly, Ye Qiu was still the imposing King Yan of the assassin world in her heart.
Just as Caroline completely relaxed, a figure from the royal family of Italy silently drifted away, quickly disappearing without a trace.
“Duke, with him taking action, surely that Chinese man will not see tomorrow’s sun,” complinted the young man behind the elder.
The elder was naturally Caroline’s uncle Albert, now a Duke in the royal family of Italy, Albert replied calmly to the young man’s complint, “I warned him years ago, and yet he dares stand before Caroline; he must have cast my warnings to the winds long ago.”
“Actually, Duke, with but a word from you, I can take care of him for you.
It is just that your side might be temporarily unguarded, and I fear others might harm you,” the young man said.
Albert shook his head repeatedly, “No need for that, as I have asked the king of the assassin realm to step in, I believe Ye Qiu is unlikely to escape his fate.”
“Little Caroline, don’t bla .
I am also considering our royal family’s and your future.
You and he could never have a future together.”
Albert gazed into the distance, a hint of regret montarily crossing his features.
…
Ye Qiu walked leisurely in the woods, concealing his True Qi and holding his breath as tight as an ordinary person.
With his youthful appearance, he seed like a young man just out of school stepping into society, paired with his harmless-looking face, who could guess he was the tenth-ranked person on the danger list.
“Eh, that person who passed by just now kind of resembled the Ye Qiu I’m looking for?” soone frowned, looking at the young man who had just walked past him.
“Forget it, if it really were Ye Qiu, he wouldn’t be so brazen walking in front of , he must have co to the mountains for hiking,” the person made an excuse for himself and continued to look for Ye Qiu’s figure ahead.
Not until the man had vanished did Ye Qiu stop walking, feeling amused, “It seems my training in concealing my aura paid off, since I could easily deceive him, others likely won’t recognize as a martial arts expert, either.”
For the rest of the evening, nobody troubled Ye Qiu, and few people who entered the mountain paid him any extra attention.
Although Ye Qiu did not actively seek out confrontations, after a round through the woods, he had gained a good understanding of the martial artists who continued to stay.
“Now there are about thirteen people who haven’t left, and each one’s skills are strong, probably no less than a mid-phase True Qi stage,” Ye Qiu casually ntioned.
Despite the nurous experts, Ye Qiu wasn’t frightened; among these people, apart from a few who had shown skills not weaker than the late-phase True Qi stage, most were in the early to mid phases of the True Qi stage.
Such n, no matter how many co, are useless, not enough for Ye Qiu to manipulate with his five fingers.
Just as Ye Qiu was contemplating how to deal with these thirteen individuals one by one, he suddenly turned his head to look back, and that elusive aura instantly disappeared.
There’s a master!
Ye Qiu’s heart stirred, he had just been spied upon, this realization was undoubtedly accurate.
Just as this person realized he had been discovered, he imdiately hid himself.
When Ye Qiu extended his Divine Sense again, he found the surrounding area emptily void, with not a single person in sight.
“So, you think you can continue to hide after I discovered you, thinking I would be negligent and give you an opportunity?” Ye Qiu couldn’t help but sneer.
If he hadn’t noticed that aura just now, it would have been one thing, but since a master had targeted him silently, Ye Qiu would never let his guard down again.
This person had been silently assessing him, this level of concealnt skill was quite remarkable.
With such expertise, it was unknown what kind of person this could be.
Ye Qiu neither pursued nor fled, just sitting still where he was.
He wanted to see how long this person could continue playing hide-and-seek.
The reality shattered Ye Qiu’s intention to comfortably wait for a while, as just an hour later, the person finally chose to reveal himself voluntarily.
He’s here!
Ye Qiu opened his eyes because he felt the other person release his aura, no longer hiding.
Ye Qiu stared intensively, observing the elderly man, who moved with a light step.
After each step, he left no footprint behind.
Using one’s buttocks to think, it was clear to discern, the visitor ant no good, he was a formidable foe, indeed a great enemy.
“I thought you would continue to hide in the shadows, but I didn’t expect you to lose patience so soon,” Ye Qiu said first.
The man remained expressionless, “For so many years, you are the second person to detect my presence first.
You must be more than just a simple Chinese, right?”
The Butcher observed Ye Qiu.
He had been the king of the assassin world for seven years now.
The first person who had detected his presence was a peer in the assassin world, a top-tier assassin with strength equal to his, but having been alerted by Ye Qiu, he couldn’t help but be astonished, having a hunch that this calm youth was not of a simple background.
rely from Ye Qiu’s gaze, the Butcher recognized his extraordinariness.
That composure, even in the face of a formidable enemy, still as immovable as a mountain, was not a state of mind that a young man could easily possess.
Even more, the Butcher saw a trace of world-weariness in Ye Qiu’s eyes.
King of Assassins, not only was his assassination technique formidable, his discernnt skills were equally powerful.
Just from one encounter, the Butcher’s attitude towards Ye Qiu beca significantly more serious.
“Are you here to kill too?” Ye Qiu asked.
The Butcher nodded.
“Then make your move, I’m quite busy,” Ye Qiu displayed an impatient deanor.
“Heh, whether you are doing it intentionally or this is just how you are, since soone has tasked with taking your life, I shall fulfill it.
Rember, the person who killed you is called the Butcher!” The Butcher said indifferently, and in an instant, his figure vanished.
The Butcher?
Ye Qiu had just muttered the two words when suddenly, a killing intent enveloped him, seeming to co from all directions to claim his life.
