Vol 1 Chapter 23 (2/2)
A single carriage slowly moved across the an to curse at him The coachman’s bitter face also clearly expressed his unhappiness If it was not because he was rushi+ng for time, he would also not have preferred to use this route
It ith ed to clear a way for him The coachman thanked the people around hie went forward A carton of eggs was accidentally srabbed and held back the bridle on the horse, causing chaos to descend upon the market The marketplace became really loud
Meanwhile, in the s beside the marketplace…
A loud crash came in from the outside On cue, under the cover of the noises outside, Fan Xian lifted his right leg with lightning speed and planted it fir towards the bed With a twist of his ared viciously behind Old Ha’s corpse
In that split second, Fan Xian could clearly see the assassin’s face The eyes were cold as ice and the eyebroereThe face was plain, with the exception of the lips which were slightly thicker The skin on his forehead was also slightly dry
On the bed, the unprepared assassin’s right hand suddenly blurred, a sh the sleeve and fleards Fan Xian’s face At the ht hand already raised His entire torso was defenseless
The crossbow bolt flew at light speed!
In the split second when the hidden crossboas activated, Fan Xian had already reacted This was thanks to those years of training with Five-Bamboo, whose wooden stick flew even faster than the crossbow bolt His toes touched the ground and, without stepping down fully, he used the doard momentum to pivot and leant his defenseless body a few inches to the right
The crossbow bolt ca across his left cheek It buried itself deeply into the wooden support of ceiling with a thud
The assassin’s face was full of surprise He did not iine that the person who came was the poisoned bishounen as supposed to be dead Moreover, to think that the young e the hidden quarrel fired from such a close distance!
Meanwhile, the dagger in Fan Xian’s hands had followed his twist of the body and stabbed into the body of the assassin, producing a slightly disgusting squelch like a vegetable knife slicing pork It was a pity that, because Fan Xian tried to dodge the quarrel, his execution was slightly shallow, the thin blade piercing through the assassin’s shoulders and not killing him instantly
Like an eel, the assassin slithered from the bed, his left hand formed a knife hand, ready to deal the deathblow to Fan Xian However, an excruciating pain and a strong doard pressure froer on the hidden crossbow loosened
When he tried to stand up, he was already prepared for the pain froine that it would be so intense Moreover…… the boy’s dagger had passed through his own shoulders, viciously e his body into place!
……
……
The assassin’s actions were rendered useless Fan Xian’s left hand clasped surprisingly quickly around the throat of the former The assassin’s plain and cal his fear of death The thick lips quivered as though he wanted to say so
Fan Xian’s heart wavered, feeling a slight chill However, he did not give the other person a chance to retaliate With a sudden increase in pressure, the assassin’s neck was broken, his head lolled to one side He was instantly dead
His hands re the broken shards of bone and waiting until the blood ran cold Finally, he detached his hands froulps of air
