Chapter 275: Doomed

He Xingyan joined the three masked men and guffawed. "Hahahaha... Ling Yun, you didn't see this coming, didn't you? You will die tonight!"

Ling Hao had increased Ling Yun's bounty to two hundred million USD. The Assassins Organization had sent out three Heaven-ranked killers from the Huaxia branch.

They were Tian Jiu, Tian Shier and Tian Shisan. Each of them had cultivated to the beginner level of Houtian Realm Level Nine. Tian Jiu was just about to advance to the mid-level of Houtian Realm Level Nine and was the most skilled amongst them!

Tian Jiu was oblivious to the sea of pistols pointing towards them. He pointed his finger almost lazily at Ling Yun and asked He Xingyan directly, "Is that him?"

He Xingyan nodded and smiled. "Yes, that is Ling Yun. He is a tricky one to deal with."

Tian Jiu smirked. "He is just at the beginning level of Houtian Realm Level Five. What is there to be worried about?"

"Take note. I have never seen his style. He is well-versed in Qinggong, movement techniques and secret weapons. His body is as hard as a rock, almost on the level of Houtian Realm Level Eight. He also uses Daoist talisman charms!" He Xingyan cautioned.

"Oh?" That piqued Tian Jiu's interest. "Is that why we lost contact with the assassins we sent out earlier? Could they have been killed by this brat?" Tian Jiu wondered.

Tian Jiu was one of the heads in the Huaxia Branch of the Assassins Organization. He glanced around and saw Xiao Meimei standing on the stairway of the villa.

"It's Xuan Qi... Xuan Qi did not die. Did she betray the organization?" Tian Jiu's eyes narrowed.

"Tian Shisan, capture her. We will hand her over to the organization after we kill Ling Yun," Tian Jiu ordered.

Xiao Meimei went pale with horror when she saw the three masked men. She knew instantly that they were from the Assassins Organization.

"Ling Yun, they are the Heaven-ranked killers from the Assassins Organization. Run!" Xiao Meimei disregarded everything and shouted at the top of her lungs.

Ling Yun had sensed that things had gotten serious the second the three Heaven-ranked assassins had appeared. With Xiao Meimei's affirmation, he immediately beckoned Tang Tianhao to shoot the new intruders.

Tang Tianhao did not hesitate in the least. "Fire!"

"What a joke." Tian Jiu dismissed Ling Yun's attempt and instructed Tian Shier and Tian Shisan to attack as well.

The three masked men struck before the policemen could react to Tang Tianhao's orders. Tian Jiu took out twenty policemen by himself while Tian Shier and Tian Shisan split the rest amongst themselves. In less than five seconds, all of the policemen were immobilized from having their meridian points sealed. They collapsed onto each other and fell into a pile on the ground.

"F*ck!" Ling Yun exclaimed in surprise. He snagged Zhuang Meifeng and Tang Meng under him and brought them to the stairway of the villa.

Tie Xiaohu had quick reflexes. He somehow managed to muster the strength to pick Tang Tianhao up and dashed right towards the stairway.

The Nine-tailed celestial fox, Miao Xiaomiao, and Dugu Mo formed a line of defense in front of the common people.

This was the true power of Houtian Realm Level Nine!

Ling Yun had to admit helplessly that even if he had maximum spiritual energy, he could barely match the speed of the three masked men. His heart went cold.

Conclusion — They could not continue fighting, and to top it off, they could not escape! They were as good as dead.

"How are their strengths?" Ling Yun asked Dugu Mo with telepathy.

The usually proud Dugu Mo was as white as sheet. "All three of them are at the beginner level of Houtian Realm Level Nine. One of them is just about to breakthrough the mid-level of Houtian Realm Level Nine. We might all go down!"

He Xingyan took the chance to retrieve Sun Xing who had been left unattended.

Niu Fenjiao was beside herself with joy. "Mr He, thank you. After you kill that little b*stard, I will personally make sure the Sun Family rewards you handsomely!"

Niu Fenjiao regained her commanding posture, emboldened by the overwhelming strength of the three newcomers. She pointed her fat fingers towards Ling Yun and his gang and shrieked, "Ling Yun, you were courting death the minute you went up against the Sun Family. The marriage annulment you forced me to write was just a stopgap measure."

"Zhuang Meifeng, you b*tch. We will not accept you now even if you beg to be married into our family. I will deal with you after Sun Xing has his way with you!"

Ling Yun very nearly rushed out in anger but was stopped by Dugu Mo.

"Don't be emotional. The assassin in command can kill you within five strokes!"

"Mrs. Sun, Master Sun's acupuncture points were sealed by Ling Yun with a special technique. We still need him to unseal them. If not, Master Sun will not be able to live beyond twenty-four hours!" He Xingyan gently reminded Niu Fenjiao after doing a quick scan of Sun Xing's body.

"Mr. He, can't you save my dear boy?" Niu Fenjiao asked quietly.

He Xingyan could only shake his head regretfully.

"In that case, please get that b*stard to undo whatever he did to my son before killing him! Mr. He, the Sun Family will forever be indebted to you as long as you can save my son!" Niu Fenjiao said grudgingly.

"Mrs. Sun, that is too high an honor. We have to capture Ling Yun tonight. Please be patient." He Xingyan nodded.

The Heaven-ranked killers immobilized the police without hurting them. They were not stupid enough to make an enemy out of the whole Huaxia.

Ling Yun was already dead in Tian Jiu's opinion. That explained why they did not stop them from saving their own gang.

No one would be able to leave alive as long as they were here!

Ling Yun was racking his brains for any means of escape, but he had to eliminate them one by one. The difference in their raw power was too big. No trick could overcome the gap.

His spiritual energy had just returned to about twenty percent, which meant that he could only use his Dragon Fish Phantom ability less than ten times. It would quickly be depleted. This time, they were not only in danger, but they were actually facing their deaths.

"Dugu Mo, how many of them can you handle?" Ling Yun ignored the screaming Niu Fenjiao and asked Dugu Mo quietly.

Dugu Mo scratched his head without his usual airs. "To be honest, I think I will be able to fend off only one of them at the beginner level of Houtian Realm Level Nine. I will probably not last more than three minutes if another joins in."

"Why don't you escape then? Their target is not you anyway." Ling Yun smirked.

"I will stay and help you for a while and escape when they kill you," Dugu Mo replied shamelessly.

"..."

Dugu Mo explained, "Those assassins would not dare to kill me since I am from the Dugu Family. I can deal with two at most. I really cannot help you for the rest with my current strength."

Ling Yun nodded in gratitude. He turned his attention towards Miao Xiaomiao and spoke to her with telepathy. "Miao Xiaomiao, their target is me. I don't think they would stop you if you leave now."

Ling Yun did not expect Miao Xiaomiao to refuse violently. She did not want to lift a finger to help initially.

"I will not leave unless you are out of danger!"

That struck Ling Yun as odd. "Why? This has nothing to do with you. Why would you...?" he asked.

"No reason... I just cannot allow you to die," Miao Xiaomiao replied simply.

Liu Deming's earlier words of "Miaojiang Poison user, superior golden silkworm" came back to him.

"Miaojiang... Oh, Miao Fenghuang!" Ling Yun understood at that instant the reason behind Miao Xiaomiao's transfer into Grade 12 Class 6 and Miao Xiaomiao's reluctance to leave!

"F*ck, she is actually from the enemy camp... what the hell..."

Ling Yun did not expect Miao Xiaomiao to be an enemy. She had to save him since he restrained the Heart-Devouring Gu Insect in Miracle Doctor Xue!

Ling Yun left Miao Xiaomiao and turned toward the nine-tailed celestial fox who had been following him like a shadow tonight. "Little White, I am doomed tonight. I don't think I will be leaving here alive. Escape amidst the chaos later. I am sure you can do it easily with your speed!" Ling Yun tried to coax Little White with telepathy.

Little White expressed her unwillingness to do so by shaking her head violently and kicking Ling Yun with her hind legs.

Tian Jiu entered the center of the battlefield at that moment and pointed his hand at Ling Yun.

"Ling Yun, you should be honored to die in my hands. Come out now. You are doomed!" Tian Jiu declared in a hoarse voice.
