Chapter 1194 Settling the King of Assassins
“Attack!”
Huo Xiaoyu gave the order.
Her subordinates immediately charged towards the King of Assassins.
The King of Assassins grabbed a teacup from the table and splashed the water towards Huo Xiaoyu’s subordinates. In an instant, the scattered water droplets transformed into sharp, gleaming ice needles.
They whistled through the air!
Obscuring the sky!
Everyone’s expressions changed drastically, but it was already too late.
Swish swish swish!
Ahhh—
In the blink of an eye, the ice needles pierced into Huo Xiaoyu’s men.
One by one, they were sent flying back, falling to the ground, spitting blood. The blood seeped through their clothes, indicating severe injuries!
Seeing this, Huo Xiaoyu’s expression became extremely grave.
Before coming, she had studied the King of Assassins and knew he was very strong, which was why she brought these helpers. However, she hadn’t expected his strength to be even greater than she had imagined!
She gritted her teeth, a look of determination in her eyes!
Huo Xiaoyu knew that she absolutely could not show any fear at this moment. Once fear was revealed, the opponent would gain the upper hand.
“Next, it’s your turn!”
Seeing the men lying on the ground, the King of Assassins remained calm, as if everything was within his expectations. He looked up, his gaze fixed on Huo Xiaoyu.
“Today, I will arrest you!” Huo Xiaoyu clenched her fists.
“With you?” The King of Assassins sneered.
“You…” Huo Xiaoyu’s eyes turned cold, and she was about to make a move.
“King of Assassins, why are you here instead of staying in the Dragon Locking Well? Did someone send you to kill me?”
Just then, Chen Xuan said coldly.
“Who are you?”
Hearing this, the King of Assassins was stunned. He stopped in his tracks and sized up Chen Xuan.
“Who do you think I am?”
Chen Xuan chuckled. It was clear that the King of Assassins had no idea Chen Xuan was the God of Medicine War God, otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to attempt an assassination.
The King of Assassins was taken aback, staring at Chen Xuan with a look of bewilderment. Chen Xuan’s face slowly merged with that demonic visage…
“You…”
“What you? If you don’t want to die, get lost!” Chen Xuan cursed.
The King of Assassins, who had been arrogant and aggressive just moments ago, suddenly turned pale and immediately turned to flee!
Huo Xiaoyu exchanged stunned glances: “This… how is this possible?”
The King of Assassins was instantly dumbfounded. It was then he realized he was on a plane, and there was no chance to escape!
Did he have to jump off the plane?
That would be no different from suicide!
Suddenly, the usually composed King of Assassins panicked!
He had thought that after escaping from the Dragon Locking Well, he would be free. So, he accepted a mission, planning to make a quick profit. But he never expected the person he was supposed to assassinate was Chen Xuan. Wasn’t this seeking his own death?
He now wished he could find a piece of tofu to smash himself to death with.
What should he do?
“Where do you think you’re going!”
Huo Xiaoyu seized the opportunity and lunged forward.
She fiercely struck the King of Assassins’ spine with a punch. It seemed to have hit a nerve, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground.
However, how could the King of Assassins be so easily subdued? Upon seeing that the person attacking him was just a minor character, he formed his hands into fists and struck out abruptly!
Bang!
Their fists collided. Huo Xiaoyu staggered back a few steps before regaining her balance, while the King of Assassins also retreated a few steps.
His eyes sharpened, and an idea struck him. He moved swiftly, preparing to take Huo Xiaoyu hostage!
The King of Assassins’ movements were quick, but Huo Xiaoyu was no pushover. She also noticed the King of Assassins’ intentions. Acting first, she drew a short dagger hidden at her waist and plunged it fiercely into the opportunistic King of Assassins.
The King of Assassins shivered instantly, collapsing onto the ground. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, clearly indicating that the dagger had some sort of poison on it.
In reality, the King of Assassins’ strength was not limited to this. He had been startled by Chen Xuan, which had disrupted his composure. Then, being ambushed by Huo Xiaoyu, he had fallen victim.
“You know this guy?”
After subduing the King of Assassins, Huo Xiaoyu approached Chen Xuan and asked with a frown.
Just as Chen Xuan was about to speak, Jiang Biyun suddenly stood up and grabbed Huo Xiaoyu’s hand, asking, “Xiaoyu, is that you?”
Chen Xuan was taken aback. Could Jiang Biyun know this Huo Xiaoyu?
The female War God, Huo Xiaoyu, looked at Jiang Biyun for a moment, clearly not recognizing her at first. She frowned and asked, “Who are you…”
“I’m your Aunt Biyun, have you forgotten me? From the Su family in the capital… the Vermilion Bird lineage…” Jiang Biyun said excitedly.
In an instant, Huo Xiaoyu seemed to remember who Jiang Biyun was, and a smile finally appeared on her face: “Aunt Jiang, it’s really you! I didn’t expect to see you here!”
Huo Xiaoyu was a distant relative of Su Yunxi’s lineage, though the connection was quite remote. However, when Su Yunxi’s family was still in the capital, they had frequent interactions due to business dealings. Huo Xiaoyu had been held by Jiang Biyun many times as a child, and she could still recognize Jiang Biyun.
“Aunt Jiang, I still have something to ask him. We can chat later.”
After speaking, Huo Xiaoyu looked at Chen Xuan and asked, “Tell me, do you know the King of Assassins?”
Seeing Chen Xuan, the King of Assassins had shown fear. This made Huo Xiaoyu question Chen Xuan’s identity.
Before Chen Xuan could reply, Jiang Biyun chuckled, “Xiaoyu, he’s Yunxi’s son-in-law. How could he possibly know this heinous criminal? Haha…”
Huo Xiaoyu was startled and stared at Chen Xuan, asking, “Are you that live-in son-in-law of the Su family in the provincial city?”
“Indeed!” Chen Xuan nodded frankly.
Huo Xiaoyu had clearly heard of Chen Xuan’s reputation. Upon hearing his admission, she couldn’t help but cast a look of disdain.
It was truly shameful for a grown man to become a live-in son-in-law!
It seemed she had misunderstood earlier. This fellow was clearly unable to intimidate the King of Assassins.
In fact, she had also noticed that the King of Assassins was subdued because he was startled, otherwise, with her strength, she might not have been able to capture the King of Assassins so easily. That was why she had suspected Chen Xuan.
However, upon learning that Chen Xuan was a live-in son-in-law, her suspicion was dismissed. Perhaps she had overthought things.
“Xiaoyu, it’s been a long time,” Su Yunxi also stood up and greeted Huo Xiaoyu.
When they were children, she and Huo Xiaoyu had been playmates.
“Sister Yunxi, you’ve become even more beautiful!”
Huo Xiaoyu examined Su Yunxi, quickly recognized her, and was astonished by her beauty.
“Thank you for the compliment.”
Su Yunxi smiled, “As for you, I didn’t expect you to have become a female War God now!”
“Hahaha, Sister Yunxi, please don’t tease me.”
Huo Xiaoyu said, “Sister Yunxi, are you going to the Su family in the capital?”
“You know about it too?”
“Of course. This is the biggest news in the capital right now. It’s rare for a lineage that was expelled from a major family to return. It’s caused quite a stir, so of course, I know about it.”
Huo Xiaoyu smiled, “It’s wonderful that you sisters can return! We can hang out together in the capital from now on.”
