Xiao Xing took off her clothing, revealing the pink undergarments she was wearing. Her blank eyes were both dazed and filled with desire at the same time. Ye Mo waved his hand and his Dragon Power erupted. Like a tsunami, his Dragon Power swept out and sent everyone flying before knocking them unconscious.
Ye Mo ignored them and charged onto the second floor, his gaze locked on a certain room. He stood outside the room and made a hole to see that the man had tossed Yao Yue on the bed. He was now taking off his clothes.
“How repulsive. I’ll kill him immediately.” Ye Mo clenched his fists with killing intent emerging from his eyes.
If the man was really allowed to violate Yao Yue, Ye Mo would never be able to forgive himself. Since the man had the Soul Suppression Bone Flute, he definitely had a powerful background.
“Don’t be hasty. That man’s strength is no weaker than Yao Yue. Perhaps Yao Yue wasn’t affected at all. Maybe this man is her a.s.sa.s.sination target.” Ye Mo immediately regained his calm after hearing Ling’er’s words.
“I have nearly forgotten about the mission,” Ye Mo thought as he locked his gaze on the man. The moment he confirmed that Yao Yue had indeed fallen for this man’s trick, he would charge into the room.
“Haha, little beauty, did you know that after hearing about you and seeing your picture, my heart has been aching all this time? Finally, I can have fun to my heart’s content.”
The man immediately pounced on Yao Yue and was about to plant a kiss on Yao Yue’s cheek. Then, with a flash, blood splattered everywhere while a human head flew up in the air before landing and rolling on the floor. A slight trace of fear was still left on the face of his head.
With a wave of her hand, the head was sliced off. This was an incredibly clean kill. Yao Yue stood up with a short saber in her hand. Blood was still left on the blade of the saber. Ye Mo was shocked by this scene. This was the essence of a.s.sa.s.sination: to take the target’s life with a single hit while the target was unaware.
Swis.h.!.+
With a flash, the saber was thrown towards Ye Mo. Ye Mo was startled as he moved and dodged the attack.
“You, outside the room. Why are you sneakily hiding? Show yourself!”
Ye Mo pushed the door open and said with a bitter smile, “Senior Sister Yao Yue, long time no see.”
“Who are you?” Yao Yue asked as she looked at Ye Mo, confused.
“I am Ye Mo, here to help you complete the a.s.sa.s.sination mission. Looks like my help is no longer required,” Ye Mo said.
“You are Ye Mo?” Yao Yue asked as she stared at his unfamiliar face.
“Yeah. I got into some trouble with the imperial guards so I have to use the Face Change Pill to make it easier for me to help with this mission. My appearance has been changed after using the pill,” Ye Mo explained after entering the room and closing the door.
Yao Yue was naturally aware that Ye Mo had a bounty issued on him by the imperial guards.
“He is a weapon refiner and had once refined three evil Spirit Weapons. One of them is the Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag. The second weapon is this Soul Suppression Bone Flute in his hand. The third weapon is the Bloodl.u.s.t Meteor Hammer.”
Yao Yue spread her palm and, immediately, the flute flew towards her hand.
“Look at this,” Ye Mo said as he took out the Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag.
“Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag?” Yao Yue was astonished and continued, “The refinement process of this Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag is extremely sinister. Where did you get it?”
“From a bandit.”
“With these two weapons, we might stand a chance in killing that Huang s.h.i.+hu,” Yao Yue said.
This Huang s.h.i.+hu was one of Tianwu Kingdom’s generals. His strength had long reached the True Energy Realm.
“Is this man not your a.s.sa.s.sination target?” Ye Mo asked in astonishment.
“No, Huang s.h.i.+hu is my actual target. He is the wielder of the Bloodl.u.s.t Meteor Hammer. This hammer needs to be fed with virgin blood everyday and has been blacklisted by the Martial Faction. My mission is to kill him.”
Then, Yao Yue took out a scroll and tossed it to Ye Mo before saying, “The information on Huang s.h.i.+hu is here. The martial techniques and cultivation method he trained is listed here as well.”
Ye Mo opened the scroll. Huang s.h.i.+hu was a member of the emperor’s faction. He was one of the generals of the kingdom, and his strength was at the early phase of True Energy Realm. He practiced the Blood Qi Cultivation Method and wielded the Bloodl.u.s.t Meteor Hammer.
To feed the Bloodl.u.s.t Meteor Hammer, he would have to rape and kill one virgin girl every single day to gather their blood. He was an extremely villainous person.
“He is a beast!”
Ye Mo knew that some Spirit Weapons needed feeding. For example, his Sky Blood Spear required evil energy. As for this Bloodl.u.s.t Meteor Hammer, it fed off the blood of virgins. In other words, Huang s.h.i.+hu killed one virgin girl everyday to feed his Spirit Weapon.
“What a repulsive person. That Huang s.h.i.+hu deserves death for his crimes!” Anger filled Ye Mo’s eyes.
“To strengthen himself and feed his Spirit Weapon, he rapes and murders. A person like this should have been killed long ago. Unfortunately, he is the general of the kingdom. It would be too difficult to kill him by facing him head on. Therefore, we can only a.s.sa.s.sinate him through stealth.” Yao Yue was also filled with fury, and killing intent surfaced in her eyes.
“What should we do now? The league leaders sent me here to help you by pretending to be your servant,” Ye Mo said.
Yao Yue frowned. “It’s still better for you to not join. Give me the Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag. I will deal with him alone. Our a.s.sa.s.sination target this time is no simple person. I am going after him having prepared to give up my life. Even with you joining, it won’t be much help.”
“Senior Sister Yao Yue, why not send a True Energy Realm warrior instead of you, an Energy Shaping Ninth Realm warrior? Isn’t this as good as sending you to death?” Ye Mo was confused.
He had initially believed that their a.s.sa.s.sination target would be an Energy Shaping Ninth Realm warrior.
“That Huang s.h.i.+hu is an extremely cautious person. Since he is a True Energy Realm warrior, he does not allow any True Energy Realm fighters to approach him. But if it were an Energy Shaping Ninth Realm warrior instead, he would naturally not mind. Furthermore, he is a perverted person. I am the best candidate for this mission.” Then, Yao Yue’s expression turned solemn before she said, “I will enter the General’s Mansion tomorrow.”
Ye Mo cried out in astonishment, “What? You are using yourself as the bait? Senior Sister Yao Yue, even if you could get close to him, you may still not be able to kill him.”
“I can’t wait anymore. Just today, he’s killed another girl. This girl had just grown into adulthood. Besides, even if I failed to kill him, I still have a way to escape.”
Yao Yue’s words were filled with determination.
Ye Mo said angrily, “What if you fail to escape? That is the General’s Mansion. The moment you create a scene, the imperial guards will be alerted. How can you escape? Your life is mine. I will not allow you to take such a huge risk.”
“What do you want? Do I need to give you my body to repay you? If that is the case, fine!” Yao Yue started taking off her clothing, her tone filled with stubbornness.
Ye Mo’s face s.h.i.+fted when he saw this. He immediately grabbed at her hands and said, “We will go together. If we both die, n.o.body will be bothered with the life you owe anymore.”
