Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1190: Chapter 1189: Two Assassins

The attack came so suddenly that no one expected the greasy owner to launch a sneak attack on Lü Donglin. Moreover, he actually possessed such strength that upon striking, the fifty skewers immediately sealed off all of Lü Donglin’s retreat paths, rendering the situation extremely dangerous and inescapable!

In this critical moment, Lü Donglin made his move. With a wave of his hand, an invisible force directly swept half of the skewers away.

At the same time, Su Yang, who stood beside him, also moved to intercept the other half of the skewers.

But just as Su Yang was about to act, a sudden whoosh came from behind, and a customer not far away launched a sneak attack from behind.

Su Yang also had lightning-fast reflexes. He quickly countered, blocking the deadly strike. However, at that moment, he could no longer help Lü Donglin.

The remaining half of the skewers still flew straight towards Lü Donglin.

But Lü Donglin showed not the slightest panic; instead, he smiled, swiftly pivoting and nimbly avoiding the twenty-some skewers, instantly reaching the owner’s side.

The owner didn’t expect Lü Donglin to be able to dodge his seamless sneak attack. Shocked, but still reacting rapidly, he immediately swung out a wave of cold light, enveloping Lü Donglin.

Seizing the opportunity, the owner quickly retreated, trying to exit the range of attack.

But he had completely underestimated Lü Donglin’s strength. As the owner moved, Lü Donglin also acted. He struck with his palm, directly knocking down the barrage of cold light to the ground. Following closely, Lü Donglin surged forward one step, reaching the owner’s face, and with another palm strike, forced the owner back several steps.

On the other side, the person who had sneak-attacked Su Yang was also repelled by Su Yang, ending up right behind the owner. The two, now sandwiched by Su Yang and Lü Donglin—one in front and one behind.

The owner and the other person exchanged a glance and spoke in a low voice, ”It’s fine, they drank the poisoned wine we prepared, they won’t last long, kill them!”

The person nodded and immediately charged at Su Yang.

At that moment, Su Yang suddenly opened his mouth and sprayed out a jet of water, forcing the person back several steps.

Meanwhile, Lü Donglin did the same, also ejecting a jet of water, making the owner retreat a few steps as well.

”You...” The owner was stunned. He clearly saw that both Su Yang and Lü Donglin had spit out all the beer they had just drunk. In other words, the poison he had put in the beer had been completely ineffective.

”Your method of roasting skewers is horrible, not even worthy of an apprentice, let alone running a shop? You’re either a scammer or you’re up to something!” Lü Donglin said with a smile.

Su Yang glanced at Lü Donglin; in fact, he was the first to sense something was off when they came across the street stall. However, he hadn’t observed the owner’s skewer roasting skills, since he didn’t understand such things. Instead, he used the Soul Searching Technique to inspect the few customers and noticed a problem—the street stall had just opened today.

While Su Yang couldn’t discern the owner’s strength, nor the owner’s thoughts through the Soul Searching Technique, which indicated that the owner was at least at the Integration Realm level. Thus, Su Yang immediately guessed that the owner might very well be an assassin disguised as an assailant targeting Lü Donglin.

Su Yang then secretly sent a message to Lü Donglin, warning him to be cautious of these people. Unexpectedly, Lü Donglin had also sensed something was wrong, and he sent a message back to Su Yang, instructing him to act according to the situation.

So, the two of them came to this stall, pretending to have drinks here. In fact, both of them were highly vigilant, guarding against this shop owner. The beer he offered, they definitely would not drink; they were just temporarily hiding it in their throats to lure the owner into making a move.

Unexpectedly, this owner had an accomplice. Luckily, both the owner and the helper weren’t strong, and were steadily suppressed by Su Yang and Lü Donglin, otherwise, this would have turned troublesome.

The shop owner’s face underwent a sudden change, and he bit his teeth and said in a deep voice, ”Go!”

The shop owner quickly turned to run, but Lü Donglin had been watching him closely. As soon as he turned, Lü Donglin chased after him and the two once again became entangled in a fierce struggle.

And this customer here, not faring much better than the owner, was also intercepted by Su Yang.

After a bout of combat, the owner and the customer were successively injured by Lü Donglin and Su Yang, now even less able to escape.

Lü Donglin dealt the owner several blows in a row, knocking him to the ground, then rushed up and stepped on his shoulder, coldly saying, ”We have no grudge or grievance, I don’t necessarily have to kill you. I just want to know, who hired you to kill me?”

The shop owner clenched his teeth tightly and suddenly struck back with his hand, only to be slapped to the ground by Lü Donglin.

The shop owner spat out a mouthful of blood, his complexion becoming pitiful, and then bit his teeth as a trail of black blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, quickly collapsing to the ground.

Lü Donglin furrowed his brow and looked at the customer who was under Su Yang’s foot.

This person was in no better condition, heavily injured by Su Yang and now completely powerless to resist.

Seeing Lü Donglin looking over, the customer let out a wretched laugh and said through gritted teeth, ”An assassin can fail a mission, but absolutely cannot break the rules. Our rule is never to disclose the identity of the employer!”

With that, he too fiercely bit his teeth, and likewise, black blood spilled from his mouth, dying on the spot.

Su Yang frowned, looking towards Lü Donglin.

Lü Donglin shrugged his shoulders, ”It’s quite normal, getting the employer’s identity from an assassin is basically impossible, it’s a matter of professional ethics!”

”Life is gone, yet still talking about professionalism?” Su Yang said in disbelief.

”Their lives are gone, but they still have family!” Lü Donglin said, ”Do you think every assassin is a lone star of death with no relatives? They have loved ones, and if the rules were changed, then their families would suffer the disaster of extermination. That’s the rule among assassins!”

Su Yang was speechless, no wonder these assassins would rather die than disclose their employer’s identity!

At this moment, a faint sound suddenly came from the side. Su Yang and Lü Donglin turned their heads to look, only to see a group of young people at the neighboring table, now shivering in terror, one of them trembling so hard that his chair had even fallen over.

These individuals had just been arrogantly bullying Su Yang and Lü Donglin, treating them like easy targets to be freely squeezed, insulting and ridiculing them. They originally thought Su Yang and Lü Donglin were incapable, but upon seeing them in action, they knew they had encountered real masters.

Although these youngsters did not know the extent of Su Yang and Lü Donglin’s abilities, they were clear that if Su Yang and Lü Donglin wished, a mere finger could crush them to death.

Seeing Su Yang and Lü Donglin looking their way, the group became even more terrified. Especially the most aggressive young man from before, who was so scared that he was almost wetting himself, his eyes reddening and nearly starting to cry.
