"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Two shadows swiftly passed by like a breeze, and before anyone could react, they had already whizzed past.
These two shadows were none other than the Boss and the Shadow, and each had a different target!
The Shadow lived up to its name, even if the Boss was the one behind the scenes, the Shadow still had a slight edge in speed. In almost the blink of an eye, the Shadow was beside Ye Xunhuan.
The Shadow timed it perfectly, appearing just as Ye Xunhuan blocked a terrifying strike from the King.
"Swish!"
A blade as sharp as a military dagger suddenly appeared in mid-air, shooting toward Ye Xunhuan with unstoppable force, like an arrow released from a setting sun bow.
The Shadow’s speed was truly lightning-fast, so fast that it was like a bolt of lightning, and since Ye Xunhuan was unprepared, the dagger pierced into Ye Xunhuan’s body with a "squelch," causing crimson blood to immediately gush out!
This sudden change caused Ye Xunhuan’s face to change dramatically, and his gaze immediately fell upon the Shadow.
"Get lost!"
Ye Xunhuan roared like a furious tiger and instantly kicked out with his right leg!
In the instant Ye Xunhuan moved, the Shadow quickly retreated.
Even so, the sharp wind from the kick tore apart the Shadow’s clothing.
Everyone was utterly stunned, gaping at the scene before them. No one had expected someone to attack, let alone inflict such damage on Ye Xunhuan.
Louis III was also shocked, staring at the scene in disbelief.
Ye Xunhuan was one of the top experts today, and even if someone ambushed him, it shouldn’t be impossible for him to defend. But this person was so fast that no one could react in time.
While Louis III was filled with shock, the Boss suddenly appeared behind him.
Suddenly, Louis III’s heart skipped a beat, a sense of danger enveloping him. Before he could recover, the Boss’s palm slammed into his back!
"Bang!"
A dull thud resounded, sending Louis III flying and a violent energy surged into his body, causing immense damage to his internal organs!
"Pff!"
Scarlet blood spewed from Louis III’s mouth, and he collapsed to the ground, his face turning ashen.
Like Ye Xunhuan, Louis III never expected an expert to ambush him!
Two sudden changes almost popped everyone’s eyeballs out, leaving them in disbelief at the unfolding scene.
Nobody expected things to escalate to this point, or that someone would ambush Ye Xunhuan, let alone Louis III becoming another target.
Chaos!
Everyone felt the scene was utter chaos, not knowing the intentions of the people around them, nor understanding who they truly were!
For a moment, everyone’s heart was filled with unease.
What if someone suddenly ambushed them as well...
At this moment, Olivia abandoned her attack on the King, and along with the Demon King, flanked Ye Xunhuan, protecting him and vigilantly watching their surroundings.
This sudden change was something neither of them expected!
With Ye Xunhuan injured, his people instinctively surrounded him, eyeing the King and the Shadow with murderous intent.
"Stand down!" Ye Xunhuan admonished his men.
"King..."
"Stand down!" Ye Xunhuan growled lowly.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan’s grim expression, despite their reluctance, the others still stepped back.
"Very well, very well, there’s actually such an expert," Ye Xunhuan said heavily, "No, two of them!"
"One ambushed me, another ambushed the Church’s Pope!" Ye Xunhuan gritted his teeth, glaring at the Shadow, "You’re truly skilled!"
"Marshal, your business with the King is none of my concern, do whatever you like!" the Boss immediately said, "I only want Louis III’s life!"
"Of course, acting on your turf without informing you is rather inappropriate, and for that, I am sincerely sorry!" the Boss said genuinely!
As he spoke, the Boss’s gaze landed on the Shadow as if two daggers piercing directly into one’s heart.
Feeling the Boss’s sharp gaze, the Shadow couldn’t help but shudder.
Because he recognized the Boss!
He also knew the Boss was angry!
Yes, angry, and at him for attacking Ye Xunhuan.
He couldn’t understand why his Boss was here, or why after critically wounding Ye Xunhuan, the Boss was angry!
But with the Boss not exposing their connection, the Shadow dared not say more and pretended not to know.
Upon hearing the Boss’s words, Louis III immediately exclaimed, "Do you know me?"
"What do you think?"
"Are we enemies?"
"No enemies!" The Boss said calmly, "I just can’t stand you!"
"You..."
"Moreover, when you kill someone, do you check to see if you’re enemies first?" The Boss interrupted Louis III, "Yes, you’re the Pope, surely you’ll sound more dignified!"
"But I’m not the Pope. My reason for wanting you dead is simple: you’re blocking my path, so you must die, and you will die!"
Louis III’s expression turned extremely grim.
If he wasn’t injured, he wouldn’t fear the Boss, but now, he had no choice but to be wary.
At this moment, the King suddenly laughed.
"Louis, I asked you to join me, but you refused. Didn’t expect it, did you? Someone’s here waiting to kill you!" The King said triumphantly, "I thought I’d be the only one to die here. But it seems you’ll stay here too!"
"Yes, yes, I’m going to report to Huaxia’s Lord of the Underworld, and you’re going to your Jesus. I wonder if our destinations are on the same route..."
