Chapter 2108 - 2108: A Letter

"Puh!"

A flash of crimson bloomed.

The chest of the man in black was hit by a Dark Stab.

Blood continuously gushed out.

The man in black stared in disbelief at the figure in front of him, wanting to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.

With a tilt of his head, he ceased to breathe.

"Yang Chao!"

The expression of the other man in black, who had killed Yang Chao, changed dramatically.

Qin Chen looked at him in astonishment: "You even kill your own companion?"

"You deserve to die!"

The man in black was furious.

It was clearly Qin Chen who, at the last moment, shielded himself with Yang Chao, causing the stab to pierce directly into Yang Chao, killing him.

Now he was seething with anger, pulling the Dark Stab from Yang Chao's chest and thrusting it towards Qin Chen.

Qin Chen sneered: "You still want to hurt me now? Do you take me for a vegetarian?"

He reached out like lightning.

Before the Dark Stab could reach Qin Chen, the man in black's arm was already firmly grasped by Qin Chen.

Qin Chen stared at him: "Tell me, who sent you?"

The man in black said coldly: "We are all professional assassins, do you think we'd tell?"

"Is that so?"

Qin Chen's face turned eerie: "I have many ways to torture people."

The man in black scoffed: "Then feel free to try."

"Swipe!"

However, at that moment, it was as if Qin Chen had eyes in the back of his head, his left hand suddenly reached to the left.

A large hand of Spiritual Power forced a hidden figure in the space to reveal itself.

The man in black was shocked: "How did you discover him?"

It turned out that he was just talking to Qin Chen to distract him.

The point was to have the hidden person deliver a deadly blow to Qin Chen.

Qin Chen smiled and said nothing, pulling the person on the left in front of him as well.

He had the Wind Sound Divine Ear.

With such proximity, if he couldn't detect it, the famous Wind Sound Divine Ear would be a false name.

But it must be said.

This person had some skills.

Without the Wind Sound Divine Ear, Qin Chen might not have noticed.

He seemed to blend into the world itself, becoming like a mass of air, his stealth techniques extremely advanced.

Realizing that they had no chance of success.

Before Qin Chen could ask further questions.

The two immediately bit down on the Poison Bag hidden in their mouths.

The Poison Bag was bitten through.

Foam spouted from their mouths at once.

Soon after, their eyes rolled back, and they died on the spot.

Qin Chen frowned immediately, unable to stop them in time.

Who wanted to kill him?

He thought for a moment, there were many possibilities, as he indeed had made many enemies.

Yi Qian, the Palace Master of the First Palace at Saber Saint Cliff, the Huangfu Family, the Void Sect, including Muv Bo from the Saint Green Dynasty.

"Could it be Muv Bo?"

Recalling Muv Bo previously sending Muv Heti to Saber Saint Cliff to challenge him, Qin Chen suddenly thought there seemed no need for this.

If he wanted to kill him, he could just come and do it, why bother having Muv Heti challenge him?

At this moment, noticing the outside had quieted, Xuu Qian led Lin Songyun back to the ground.

"Is everything alright?"

Lin Songyun hurriedly flew to Qin Chen's side.

Qin Chen shook his head: "See if you can find any information on them."

He searched the three bodies thoroughly.

All he found was some Primordial Artifacts, and just one envelope.

What made Qin Chen frown was.

The name on the envelope's recipient line.

To Qin Chen.

The letter inside the envelope was specifically written for him!

"What's the situation? Could it be that the person behind this knew the boss could kill these assassins, so they deliberately left a letter on them?"

Xuu Qian was somewhat at a loss.

Qin Chen didn't speak, he opened the envelope, finding a letter inside.

The letter's content was very simple.

"This is just the beginning."

A short message.

No signature, no other information.

This unknown feeling left one with an extreme sense of unease.

"If just now was speculation, now it can be basically determined, these three were essentially here to deliver a letter, perhaps they didn't even know, they actually couldn't kill the boss."

"But the person who wrote this letter surely knew."

Qin Chen pondered with a frown, suddenly feeling the matter wasn't so simple.

"When soldiers come, we fight; when water approaches, we block. Let's head to Bahu Forest first."

Qin Chen thought for a long time, but couldn't make sense of the situation.

The opponent seemed intent on making Qin Chen restless, this feeling could be more torturous than directly killing him.

But he greatly underestimated Qin Chen's mindset.

Qin Chen would just be cautious, not constantly dwell on it.

"The boss truly is the boss, if it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to sleep." Xuu Qian said.

Lin Songyun said: "That's exactly the opponent's goal, and once there's a first time, there will definitely be a second time, he will show up."

After speaking, Lin Songyun looked at Xuu Qian: "Your information is very well-informed, do you have any idea where these assassins might come from?"

Xuu Qian said: "Speaking of assassin organizations in Qian State, 'Dark Tower' must be mentioned."

"Dark Tower is recognized as the number one assassin organization in Qian State."

Lin Songyun said: "So you deduce these assassins likely come from Dark Tower?"

Xuu Qian thought for a moment: "It does seem possible, Dark Tower assassins are very professional, once caught, they'd poison themselves like this, and definitely not carry anything that could expose their identity."

"However, when it comes to assassins, Qian State has another inescapable mention, one of the Ten Clans, the 'Ghost Shadow Misha Clan'."

"The people of Ghost Shadow Misha Clan are almost born assassins, many assassins in Dark Tower are from the Ghost Shadow Misha Clan."

"Moreover, Ghost Shadow Misha Clan is one of the Qian State Ten Clans, the only one with a member listed among the Eight Great Legends."

Lin Songyun seemed to think of something: "Ghost Kill of the Ghost Shadow Misha Clan?"

Xuu Qian nodded: "Yes, it's him, an extraordinarily talented individual, acclaimed as the strongest genius of the Ghost Shadow Misha Clan in 500 years, his assassination skills are extremely high, never failing a mission."

"Among the Eight Great Legends, the most distinctive is Ghost Kill, he's like a hidden serpent in the shadows, waiting to bite you unexpectedly, and that bite is always lethal."

Qin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

He hadn't offended either Dark Tower or the Ghost Shadow Misha Clan, but it was possible someone had hired Dark Tower to assassinate him.

"If someone hired Dark Tower assassins, can the employer come into contact with them?" Qin Chen asked.

Xuu Qian shook his head: "Of course not, but Dark Tower promises they will act, so this suggests the other party's identity isn't simple, otherwise, how could they leave a letter on them?"
