Chapter 233: Chapter 233: The Rivalry Resumes!

When the Honda was following Qin Tian’s car and turned into the tree-lined boulevard beside the Third Ring Road, it hadn’t driven for a few miles when they saw Qin Tian alone, standing by the roadside.

Hissss!

The Honda suddenly stopped.

There were two men in the car, including the driver, both in their thirties, wearing what seemed to be specially made grey T-shirts, with a black curved dagger printed on them that was particularly eye-catching.

”So this is Qin Tian, he’s indeed young,”

said a slightly portly man in grey clothes, sneering from the car.

”Let’s get out and meet him,”

said the thin man in the passenger seat indifferently before getting out of the car and walking towards Qin Tian in two strides.

Qin Tian watched the thin man get out of the car, his eyes growing cold; the closer the man got, the more Qin Tian felt a chilling coldness rushing towards him—

Murderous intent!

”An assassin?”

Qin Tian, with his years of experience dealing with assassins, realized that these two men had been following him and Fan Bing without fear of exposing themselves, clearly confident in their own abilities.

”Who are you...”

As the thin man approached within two meters of Qin Tian, Qin Tian was just about to speak when he saw the thin man had already launched into the air with a kick aimed brutally at Qin Tian!

Without speaking, he went straight into action!

Seeing this, Qin Tian didn’t dare to be negligent, he swiftly dodged aside, and at the same time, thrust out both arms, attacking the upper body of the thin man furiously!

The thin man was obviously skilled with his legs, launching a series of leg attacks that forced Qin Tian to be fully alert.

Each move by the man was heavy; a single hit would likely cause serious injury.

Thump thump!

Fists met feet, and in the blink of an eye, Qin Tian and the thin man had exchanged more than a dozen moves. Each defended and attacked, and on the surface, they seemed evenly matched.

But Qin Tian definitely didn’t see it that way; he had only used less than sixty percent of his strength.

He was surprised inwardly. Typically, when assassins came after him, they wielded guns or at least knives, but this person came with bare fists, obviously wanting to test Qin Tian’s skill. Therefore, Qin Tian did not use his full strength.

”Hmph, kid, how did you manage to kill the knife-wielding He Qiang?”

After the exchange, the thin man sneered at Qin Tian with a menacing laugh, ”Your martial arts are indeed not bad, but not good enough to kill someone with a Pao Blade in hand!”

He Qiang with the Pao Blade?

Qin Tian’s eyebrows knitted together, recalling the knife-wielding assassin from the Green Bamboo Forest who had come to kill him.

”Ghost Blade,” Qin Tian said with a faint smile.

”Hmph, not bad, you’ve got some eye power,” the thin man blinked, his rat-like eyes revealing a ferocious glint, ”You killed our number four, and today, I’ve come to meet you.”

Although his words were calm, his tone carried contempt for Qin Tian.

”Which number in Ghost Blade are you?” Qin Tian asked.

”Number two, Blood Blade,” Blood Blade said confidently, an eyebrow raised, ”every blade I draw results in death, and each strike draws blood.”

”How impressive,”

Qin Tian said, feigning admiration, ”But I heard that when you assassins carry out a hit and fail, you don’t seek revenge. Has the rule changed now?”

”Indeed, we’re not here for revenge, even if you are the one who broke the Ghost Blade’s unblemished record of successes this year. Otherwise, would you still be alive?”

As Blood Blade spoke, the slightly overweight middle-aged man also got out of the Honda and walked toward Qin Tian.

”Heh, it seems you’ve received another mission, and the target is me,” Qin Tian glanced at the portly man.

”Kid, with us on the job, you should be content even in death,” Blood Blade said with a disdainful sneer.

Qin Tian took another look at the silent and stout man, his mind suddenly clear. If Number Two, Blood Blade, was involved, could it be that this silent individual was the leader of Ghost Blade, Divine Blade?

As if reading the question in Qin Tian’s mind, the stout man nodded at him, ”You’re guessing my identity in your mind? Correct, I am the leader of Ghost Blade, Divine Blade.”

Having said that, Divine Blade took another two steps towards Qin Tian.

”I originally thought that either me or Number Two here would suffice. But the client insisted that we both come, just to be safe. Hmpf, it seems the client has given you quite the respect,” Divine Blade said.

Qin Tian had already encountered the Ghost Blade Organization before; it was one of the top assassin organizations in Zhonghai City.

They commanded a high fee, and this time, their opponent had actually managed to hire both the number one and number two figures of Ghost Blade to come out together. It seemed they had paid a hefty price.

Furthermore, the fact that Divine Blade and Blood Blade were forced to move together indicated that the person wanting Qin Tian dead was, at least in Zhonghai City, quite influential.

”It seems it can only be the Brother Alliance,” Qin Tian coldly sneered internally, ”I gave the Brother Alliance a lesson last time, and I didn’t expect them to be persistent. This time they’ve invited two top assassins, clearly wanting to leave me dead without a doubt. Very good! Very good!”

A furious blood-red glimmer flared in Qin Tian’s eyes.

”Boss, I tried this kid’s martial arts skills earlier, his hand-to-hand Kung Fu is not bad. If you or I faced him alone, without using blades, it might take a while to take him down,”

Blood Blade spoke, evidently seeking Divine Blade’s opinion.

”I, Divine Blade, have never needed to pair up to finish a task. He won’t be the exception,” said Divine Blade, then instructed Blood Blade, ”Number Two, use your blade, make it quick and decisive, finish him off, and avenge Number Four in a righteous battle!”

Blood Blade nodded solemnly and then took two steps back to the car to retrieve his Pao Blade that he always carried.

This was an ancient-looking Pao Blade, the blade itself tinged with a blood-red hue—clearly, it had claimed many lives.

”Come on, draw your weapon. Since you didn’t run, I can grant you a whole corpse,” Blood Blade assumed his stance and said to Qin Tian.

Knowing that both men were masters with blades, Qin Tian didn’t pretend otherwise. He drew the Dragon Blood Dagger from his person and said, ”Come on.”

Since the people from Ghost Blade were poised to deal with him openly, Qin Tian had nothing more to say. Just like his earlier duel in the wilderness, he relied on strength to do the talking—those with power live, those without die!

Humming sound!

With no excess movements, as soon as Blood Blade shook his weapon, the blade glinted, and he closed in on Qin Tian!

Since Qin Tian wielded the shorter Dragon Blood Dagger compared to Blood Blade’s Pao Blade, he couldn’t afford to fight head-on and instead relied on his agile footwork to spar with Blood Blade.

Clang, clang, clang!

The Dragon Blood Dagger clashed with the Pao Blade, sending sparks flying!

”Good lad, you survived my three strikes, not bad!”

Blood Blade had only thought Qin Tian’s hand-to-hand skills were strong, but now, after crossing blades, Qin Tian’s performance was startling him—Qin Tian had easily blocked his three strikes!

Not daring to be careless, Blood Blade attacked again!

Meanwhile, Qin Tian drifted as well, beginning his counterattack!

As the two charged at each other, Qin Tian’s body was more agile. In a split second of clashing, he twisted sharply, sidestepping and slicing the Dragon Blood Dagger across Blood Knife’s shoulder!

Slash!

Blood splattered!
