Chapter 193: Trial, he’s very pleased

The nine assassins formed a semicircle around Han Yunxi, who was backed against a corner of the walls. Hidden in the shadows, Long Feiye observed her coldly, a complicated look in his eyes. He had urgent business to take care of by immediately going inside that house. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have needed to call Tang Li over for help. But seeing Han Yunxi’s figure all but swallowed by the people surrounding her, he still stopped in the end.

Could this woman successfully pass this trial?

Why wasn’t there any noise? He expected her to scream or shout for help, to yell for him or Tang Li, but everything was very quiet. Don’t tell him she’d scared herself into unconsciousness again like that time in Medicine Forest!

As things were, Long Feiye didn’t see that Han Yunxi was currently cool-headed and composed, holding the Pear Blossom Rain Needles expertly in a handgun grip. She carried the same sort of self-possessed steadiness when she treated patients, calm and scrupulous to every detail. The only difference today was that she was here to kill, not to rescue. Han Yunxi told herself firmly, this wasn’t murder, but self-preservation. She had to save herself!

Though they’d completely surrounded her in what seemed to be a hopeless situation, she was very clear that her position was very advantageous at the moment. Her back was protected by a solid cliff wall, which meant that she didn’t need to fear sneak attacks from that direction. Instead, she could completely focus on the danger in front of her. The only thing she could use were the Pear Blossom Rain Needles against these nine high-level experts. This had turned completely into a match of speed.

Which was faster, her hand or those women’s swords?

Each of the nine assassins wielded a long blade capable of taking her life in an instant. But evidently, they all feared the thing in Han Yunxi’s hands. Instead of making an immediate move, all of them gave her guarded looks. The leader asked her coldly, “Pear Blossom Rain Needles, you’re from the Tang Clan?”

“You know it’s Pear Blossom Rain Needles, yet you still dare to approach?” Han Yunxi was unwilling to be outdone. Though she was sitting on the ground, her imposing manner wasn’t any inferior to these nine women.

That female assassin laughed coldly, but didn’t move. Still, Han Yunxi’s detox system had long sent out a warning that there was poison in the vicinity. It was a bewitching toxin that slowly condensed in the air. Since the Poison Humans had immunity, they naturally had no fear. The nine of them stood in place as they looked disdainfully at Han Yunxi.

Trifling skills!

Han Yunxi laughed coldly in her heart. She’d long started holding her breath. If the assassins wanted to play poisons with her, then perfect! It was all that she could wish for! Very quickly, Han Yunxi pretended that she had been poisoned and wrinkled her forehead, before slumping to the side in a dead faint. Seeing this, the leader gave a cold snort. “You dared to come here, but didn’t even stop to figure out what kind of place it was!”

The other eight assassins immediately lowered their guards, while the leader personally approached Han Yunxi. A greedy glint shone in her eyes as she saw the Pear Blossom Rain Needles! Once she acquired this treasure, Master would definitely give heavy rewards!

As soon as the leader walked forward, Long Feiye immediately spotted Han Yunxi’s situation. Seeing her unconscious, he was about to make a move when he noticed her hand still maintaining its stylish grip on the Pear Blossom Rain Needles. When he realized the implications, his lips drew into a light, relaxed smile. By now, he’d long put his urgent matters to the back of his mind.

The leader walked closer and closer while Han Yunxi silently counted her steps. Huddled up by the wall with her head bowed and her eyes half-shut, she was like a cheetah waiting for its chance to strike. Very soon, the leader came close enough to bend down and stretch out her hand.

This was it!

Han Yunxi’s eyes flew open as she aimed the Pear Blossom Rain Needles at the woman’s heart and shot a needle. Surprised, the female assassin met a violent death before falling towards Han Yunxi. In a flash, she’d grabbed the body to use as a shield while her other hand aimed the Pear Blossom Rain Needles towards the other assassins and shot from left to right!

As the weapon shifted across them, she pressed down on various switches. Shuashuashua, needle after needle flew out－no, it was more accurate to say they burst out－and accurately buried themselves in the various womens’ hearts.

What were the Pear Blossom Rain Needles? Tang Clan’s second ranked treasure, whose insane speed and power made it hard for even high-level experts to escape. How could the remaining assassins know that Han Yunxi hadn’t been poisoned, much less expect their leader to just die like that? Faced with the sudden onslaught of needles, they didn’t even have time to react before they fell one after another, each with a needle in their hearts that took away their lives!

Once they all collapsed, Long Feiye’s line of vision cleared up. He saw Han Yunxi still sitting in the same place as before. She viciously shoved aside the assassin leader’s corpse, her dainty face a little pale but filled with a frosty, fierce glare that…gave her an indescribable, ruthless beauty!

Actually, Long Feiye should have long stopped worrying with the formidable Pear Blossom Rain Needles in her hands. If she still couldn’t survive with such a powerful weapon on hand, it’d be pointless to leave her around, wouldn’t it? Still, he’d watched everything from beginning to end. As it turned out, Han Yunxi’s speed to eliminating these Poison Humans exceeded his calculations, even with the Pear Blossom Rain Needles on hand. She’d been direct and efficient, her performance no less inferior than any high-level expert.

Han Yunxi didn’t know Long Feiye was watching her from the side. After taking care of 10 Poison Humans, she took an antidote before being able to breathe at last. The taut nerves in her head finally relaxed as well. The roof of the building was guarded by these ten Poison Humans. Now that she’d dealt with them, this place had become secure. As for the 100 assassins beyond the house, Tang Li was taking care of them. Though that place was still a chaotic mess, Tang Li could guarantee that none of the assassins there would take half a step towards the house.

Han Yunxi was very safe.

She stepped past the crowd of corpses to lean on a railing, looking with interest and admiration at the fighting going on in the distance. Truthfully speaking, the struggles in the courtyard wasn’t just a simple fight. Han Yunxi was intelligent enough to see through Tang Li’s tricks. This fellow had two skills. One was to dodge his opponents’ attacks, while the other was to assassinate them with hidden weapons. But he performed admirably in both skills, his figure flashing and weaving lightning fast as he lashed out with his weapons. Han Yunxi couldn’t even see him clearly, only the trail of bodies that followed in his wake. All of them had been struck with weapons in their vital points.
