344: Su Changhe: You are Li Xunhuan?

Seizing the opportunity, Su Zhe suddenly spun the Demon-Subduing Staff in his hand. In an instant, the Gold Rings on the staff flew off.

Ah Fei's expression changed. A cold light flashed from the long sword in his hand, instantly knocking away several incoming Gold Rings. However, one Gold Ring still broke through his rain of sword strikes and hit him in the chest.

"Pfft..."

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Ah Fei's face instantly turned pale.

"Kid, your sword is fast, but you're still no match for me."

"Seeing how your aura fluctuates, you must have achieved a Breakthrough not long ago, right? Your Realm isn't even completely stable, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly?"

"Today, let me send you on your way. Remember, the one who kills you is the Bamboo Hat Ghost." A strange and cruel smile appeared at the corner of Su Zhe's mouth. His figure suddenly shot forward, thrusting the Demon-Subduing Staff toward Ah Fei's chest.

If this strike landed, Ah Fei would be crippled even if he didn't die.

Ah Fei's expression shifted, his heart filled with alarm.

He immediately circulated his Internal Energy frantically. His figure shot out, and the sword in his hand moved so fast it left afterimages, meeting Su Zhe's Demon-Subduing Staff.

At that moment, a Flying Dagger appeared silently behind Su Zhe.

No one noticed it at first. Only when the Flying Dagger was close did Su Zhe react. Instantly, his hair stood on end as a sense of life-and-death crisis washed over him.

Su Zhe was terrified. He hadn't expected that a Master would be hiding in the shadows without them noticing.

At this point, it was too late to dodge. If he directly killed Ah Fei, he would be hit by the attack from behind and wouldn't escape death himself.

But if he gave up, it would be hard to find such a good opportunity again.

His mind raced, and Su Zhe ultimately decided to abandon his attack to dodge the sneak attack from behind.

However, he still underestimated Li Xunhuan's Flying Dagger.

The Flying Dagger was too fast, silent, and lacked any Internal Energy fluctuations.

If he weren't a Great Grandmaster and a battle-hardened assassin whose instincts sensed the danger, he wouldn't have discovered the Flying Dagger's existence at all.

Just as Su Zhe tried to dodge, the Flying Dagger suddenly accelerated, instantly piercing through Su Zhe's heart. The Flying Dagger passed through his body, grazed Ah Fei's cheek, and vanished into the night.

At that moment, Ah Fei's long sword also reached Su Zhe, sealing his throat with a single strike.

It pierced directly through Su Zhe's throat. Just like that, Su Zhe, the Bamboo Hat Ghost and one of the top three assassins of the Dark River, met his end.

This sudden turn of events caused Su Changhe and Su Muyu's expressions to change drastically.

The two of them had been staring at Li Xunhuan and hadn't noticed anyone else nearby.

Su Changhe clashed once with Li Xunhuan before flashing back to Su Muyu's side, his face turning ashen.

"I didn't expect someone to be hiding in the shadows, firing cold arrows."

As Su Changhe spoke, he kept observing the surroundings, but the result made his expression even more unsightly.

Based on Su Zhe's injuries, the Hidden Weapon had clearly been launched from their direction.

Yet, he hadn't sensed it at all. What was going on?

Could it be that the person who attacked was right in front of him?

How was that possible? Even if someone in the Heavenly Human Realm or even the Earth Immortal Realm attacked in front of him, he shouldn't be unable to notice.

But what exactly was happening?

"Heh, are you confused? You didn't expect him to die, did you?" Ah Fei looked at Su Changhe with a mocking expression.

"You people from the Central Plains are truly insidious, firing cold arrows like that." Su Changhe looked at Ah Fei with a livid face.

"Heh, you're the ones here for an assassination, and you're calling us insidious? Aren't you the insidious ones?"

"A bunch of things that can't face the light, and you have the nerve to say that? You don't even know how my Big Brother attacked, yet you're still talking big here."

"You assassins didn't do enough intelligence work. You don't even know who my Big Brother is, yet you dare to come and assassinate Prince Duan. I really don't know what to say to you." Ah Fei shook his head helplessly.

Indeed, he and Li Xunhuan had exchanged glances at the very beginning. Both knew these three assassins were not simple and possessed significant strength.

To win decisively, they had to find a way to eliminate one of them first. With the remaining two Great Grandmaster level Masters, it would be much easier for the two of them to handle one each.

Even the opening from before was something Ah Fei had intentionally exposed, just to make Su Zhe think it was an opportunity to attack him.

As it turned out, Su Zhe had indeed fallen for it, leading to the scene just now.

Su Changhe and Su Muyu's faces were so gloomy they looked like they could drip water. They hadn't expected to be outschemed from the very start.

The three of them had always coordinated with tacit understanding. They originally had absolute confidence in dealing with Li Xunhuan and Ah Fei, but they didn't expect the other side to have planned everything out long ago.

Su Changhe looked at Li Xunhuan with a terrible expression. Even now, he didn't understand what had happened with that strike on Su Zhe.

"Who exactly is it? If you dare to act, don't hide your head and show your tail. What kind of hero hides away like this?" Su Changhe looked around with a livid face.

At this, the expressions of both Li Xunhuan and Ah Fei turned strange.

This guy was a bit abnormal; they had already said it, yet he still hadn't realized.

"I say, do you have a hole in your brain? I already told you just now, yet you can still ask such a stupid question."

"To deal with the three of you, there's no need to hide. My Big Brother and I can handle you by ourselves." Ah Fei looked at Su Changhe with disdain.

"What? You mean that strike just now was his doing?" Su Changhe looked at Li Xunhuan in shock.

"Heh, don't you guys investigate intelligence before you come?"

"You don't even know my Big Brother. You assassins are no good; you're too unprofessional." Ah Fei shook his head.

"Who exactly are you?" Su Changhe looked at Li Xunhuan with a dark expression.

"There's no harm in telling you. My Big Brother is the Martial World's Little Li Tanhua Li Xunhuan, known in the Jianghu as the Little Li Flying Dagger, who never misses."

"What? You're Li Xunhuan?" Su Changhe's face darkened as he looked at Li Xunhuan.

He hadn't expected the opponent to be Li Xunhuan from the Martial World, the Little Li Flying Dagger who was so skilled with Flying Daggers.

No wonder. No wonder he hadn't noticed how the other had attacked just now.

Rumors in the Jianghu said that no one could dodge Li Xunhuan's Flying Dagger, and no one knew how he attacked.

Everyone who had seen it was dead.

Seeing Su Changhe's shocked state, Li Xunhuan shook his head helplessly.

These guys were quite strong, but they really had no brains.

"How did people like you become assassins? While an assassin needs to be strong, you also need to do your intelligence work."

"You don't even understand your opponents, yet you dare to come directly? You're truly confident."

"Did you think that with Prince Duan's strength, there wouldn't be Masters following him?" Ah Fei looked at Su Changhe and Su Muyu mockingly.

Su Changhe's face was livid as he glanced at Su Muyu beside him.

"Wait a moment. I'll hold them off; you find an opportunity to leave." Su Changhe looked at Su Muyu with a determined tone.
