Shan Bao is an agile and promising new assassin who is highly regarded in the Assassins' League. This time, he followed Gui Su to ambush You Mei. Once successful, Shan Bao's status in the Assassins' League will be rapidly elevated.

In his view, You Mei was already seriously injured, and with Gui Su, such a powerful top-tier assassin in charge, this ambush assassination of You Mei would surely go smoothly.

Now, he realized his mistake. A sudden onslaught of warriors completely disrupted their formation.

At this moment, he could only retreat with other elite assassins.

Behind them, legions of Satan's warriors were pursuing them relentlessly. Faced with the overwhelming firepower of these demonic troops, they were utterly defenseless.

Originally, there were fifteen elite assassins on this side of the mountain. Now, including himself, only ten remain.

The snow leopard is desperately trying to escape, wanting to reunite with the ghost rider over there.

While fleeing, suddenly——

Tap tap tap tap!

Gunfire suddenly erupted from both sides of them. Faced with this sudden attack, Shan Pao and his men quickly hit the ground and immediately returned fire.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

But behind them, a series of explosions rang out. The precise bullets struck two elite assassins instantly, sending bloody mist flying everywhere.

Three sides attack!

Behind and on both sides, Satan's army surrounded the assassins of the Killer Alliance, led by Mountain Leopard. They were encircled, with firepower coming from three directions. A fierce barrage swept over them, relentlessly crushing these assassins.

A barrage of heavy machine gun fire, coupled with the assault team's firepower and the sniper's threat, made Mountain Leopard realize that he and his comrades were in a desperate situation.

Under the circumstances where they couldn't break out, the leopards could only conduct a desperate resistance and counterattack.

At the same time, the mountain leopard shouted loudly into the microphone —

"Master Ghost, request assistance!"

The mountain leopard was unaware that the Ghost Seeker was now in dire straits, barely able to save himself.

……

Behind the cover, Ghost had already heard the cries for help from the mountain leopard.

His face flushed red, and he desperately wanted to rush out and support Mountain Leopard and the others. But a palpable sense of killing intent locked onto him, making him realize that if he dared to make a move, deadly sniper bullets would rain down on him mercilessly.

However, hiding behind this cover all the time isn't really a solution.

A dark look flashed in Ghoul's eyes. He gritted his teeth and suddenly rolled to the right, firing his weapon forward with deadly accuracy.

Ghost felt the opponent's deadly intent, but the moment he fired his sniper shot, that feeling vanished. It meant he never truly locked onto their energy signature from beginning to end.

At the same time, a deadly feeling of danger spread.

Ghost let out a shriek, his entire body appearing unusually disheveled as he tumbled backward.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A volley of gunfire erupted, sending shockwaves through the air. The bullets whizzed past Ghost's side, narrowly missing him. Had he not been a top-tier assassin within the Assassins' Guild, possessing exceptional reflexes, any other assassin would have been killed outright.

Although Ghost managed to avoid the initial attack, he is now completely powerless to fight back. He can only pathetically roll and dodge, using any cover available to protect himself from the lock-on attacks of his terrifyingly powerful opponent behind him.

While on the run, Ghost's face changed drastically as he felt a powerful and domineering aura bearing down on him. The pressure was immense, boundless like a towering mountain crushing down upon him, aiming directly at his location.

Ghost immediately realized what it was, just as he wanted to react, suddenly——

Whoosh!

On the right side, a figure darted over with lightning speed, bypassing his cover and appearing beside him.

Chapter 249: A Real Man (2/2)

Qi So's face turned pale with shock, and he immediately pointed his sword forward.

However—

Phew!

A powerful leg strike swept in with tremendous force, slamming into his arm. Under the immense power of the kick, the object he was holding immediately flew from his grasp.

Then, before his eyes stood a towering figure. Its deep and piercing gaze fixed upon him, like a dragon looking down upon an ant.

"You, you—"

Ghost's face changed drastically. The overwhelming pressure emanating from the other person, akin to that of a god or demon, made him realize this was an incredibly powerful being. Facing such a formidable opponent, he felt utterly powerless.

Fear gripping him, he took a step back, then another.

However, after taking four or five steps back, his face changed again. He suddenly turned his head and looked back. In the dark night, he vaguely saw a graceful figure standing behind him at some point.

Feeling the aura emanating from this graceful figure, Ghostly Desire couldn't help but exclaim, "You Mei, is it you!"

"The Assassin's League is truly relentless, sending you to intercept and kill me. Unfortunately, you still miscalculated." Ghost stood behind him was Yuemi, her pair of azure cold eyes fixed on Ghost, her voice icy to the extreme.

A glimmer of despair flashed in Ghost Slayer's eyes. He knew tonight he was doomed. Behind him lurked a sinister presence, and before him stood a terrifyingly powerful figure of unknown identity. He had no chance of breaking through.

However, there's no telling that there isn't a slight chance.

With a glint in his eye, he turned to the figure whose aura was as powerful as a deity, and asked, "May I ask who you are"

"Satan!"

The figure spoke, it was Ye Junlang.

"Satan!"

Gui So's face turned pale with shock. He couldn't believe that standing before him was none other than Satan, the Demon King who had rapidly risen to power in the dark world over recent years!

But how could Satan walk with the Wraith

"So it was Satan after all!" Ghostly spoke, then continued, "Satan knows the Phantom"

Ye Junlang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "What do you want to say"

Ghostly made up his mind and boldly said, "Lord Satan, You Mei has betrayed the Assassin Alliance and is a traitor. The Assassin Alliance is doing everything in its power to hunt down You Mei. If Lord Satan could help capture You Mei, not only would the previous misunderstanding be cleared up, but the Assassin Alliance would also owe Lord Satan a huge favor. In addition, the Assassin Alliance would offer fifty million as a reward. But if Lord Satan helps You Mei, it would mean being an enemy of the Assassin Alliance…"

Yuemeng didn't speak, she seemed to be waiting for Ye Junlang's reaction.

Fifty million is no small sum, and it comes with a favor from the Assassins' League. If things go sour, you'll be facing an organization with immense power.

Of course, which choice is most advantageous needs to be carefully weighed.

The dark world, where interests come first.

In the dark world, betrayal is commonplace if there is enough to be gained.

However—

Whoosh!

Yuemi didn't wait for Ye Junlang's response, but instead heard a gunshot.

Hello!

Immediately following that, Ghost's head exploded in a shower of gore, completely obliterated by the sniper bullet. It looked just like a watermelon that had been smashed to pieces.

Only then did Ye Junlang let out a cold snort, blowing away the last wisp of smoke from his mouth and saying, "Even at death's door, you still threaten and coerce. If all the assassins in the Alliance behaved like this, they wouldn't be worth fearing at all!"

Her enchanting face was startled, the gunshot echoing in her heart deeply, causing a crack in her once completely frozen heart.

She used it to mask the icy exterior she wore, and with the sound of the gunshot, it seemed as though cracks were beginning to appear.

Hearing Ye Junlang's words, the corner of his mouth hidden under the Qing Mian Liao Ya mask couldn't help but rise slightly, inadvertently revealing a rare smile.

Only now did she fully believe this man before her.
