Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Dishonesty Leads to Death_1

That night, the lighting was dim, visibility was low.

The westerner turned his head and looked, but couldn’t clearly see the man’s face. He frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

"I’m the target you guys are planning to kill this time, don’t recognize me?"

Zhang Xian walked under a street light and stopped, "Now, I’m giving you guys a chance to live. Lure out the higher-ups in your organization for me, otherwise, you’re all going down."

"Haha..."

The muscular man burst into laughter, "Kid, are you joking with us? You want to kill us all by yourself? This isn’t a joke, you know?"

"Your Chinese sucks."

Zhang Xian looked at the muscular man, "Can you just shut your filthy mouth?"

"You’re looking for death!"

The muscular man was enraged. He suddenly took a few steps forward, rapidly covering six or seven meters to Zhang Xian, and threw his fist out heavily.

"Calling yourself an assassin with this caliber?"

Zhang Xian caught the incoming fist, "I heard all of your conversation earlier. Seems like out of all of you, you’re the most cocky. However, to me, your skills aren’t impressive. I’m curious, sounding so tough with no skills to back it up, do your parents know?"

"You..." The muscular man almost spat blood from anger.

However, when he tried to pull his fist back, he was shocked to find it as if it was gripping tightly by iron pliers, unable to move no matter how hard he tried.

At this moment, his facial expression finally changed. Could this guy really be a high-level fighter?

"Get lost."

Zhang Xian kicked him, sending the muscular man flying several meters away, crashing into a tree.

"Attack..."

The westerner’s mouth twitched unnaturally, he was the first to make his move.

He witnessed the previous scene; Zhang Xian’s skills seemed far more superior than he had anticipated. Although the muscular man was careless, being able to handle it so easily was not an easy feat.

The others followed, attacking from different directions, using their fists, feet, or elbows, aimed at Zhang Xian.

"Haha..."

Zhang Xian pushed forward instead of retreating, rushing into the crowd.

These guys barely had the power of the Post Acquired Peak, and were far from reaching the Innate stage. He had no idea how the muscle man had such courage to act so arrogantly.

"Boom..."

A middle-aged man was kicked and flew away like a kite with its string cut, floating in the air.

"Dammit..."

A long-haired man cut in from the side, aiming his fist at Zhang Xian’s head.

"Hmph..."

Zhang Xian sneered, moved his head slightly to dodge, and stepped forward. His shoulder hit the long-haired man’s body like a speeding train.

"Pfft..."

Impacted by the huge force, the long-haired man spit out a mouthful of blood in mid-air before crashing down to the ground.

"How is this guy so strong?" The westerner’s face changed.

Not long ago, they had all attacked at once, but this guy broke through their encirclement effortlessly and had even kicked two of them away before they could even blink. His speed was terrifying.

"Boom..."

Another middle-aged man failed to dodge in time. He was thrown into the air, spinning several times in mid-air before falling flat on the ground, looking extremely distressed.

The fight had just started, yet four out of seven members of the assassin organization had been sent flying. The situation was completely one-sided.

"Is this all the power you guys have?"

Zhang Xian suddenly stopped, looked at the three men who were still standing with a smile.

"You..."

The westerner wanted to say something but wasn’t sure where to start.

Seven of them were defeated by one person, four of them being sent flying without even touching his clothes. What good words could he possibly say?

At this moment, he finally understood what Leng Shuang’er meant earlier. Damn it! This guy was not just psychotic, he was completely insane!

"Run..."

Without any hesitation, the westerner turned around and ran.

The other two didn’t lag behind, completely disregarding their comrades’ safety and ran as fast as they could.

"Trying to run?" Zhang Xian chased after them.

He had caught a few decent assassins from the Skynet organization; he had no intention of letting them go. He always had no love for games like hide and seek.

"Damn, this guy is really fast!" one middle-aged man cried out in terror.

At this moment, he had already reached his limit. He couldn’t run any faster, not even a bit. When fleeing for life, nobody would hold back, they would grit their teeth and run with all their might.

However, the figure behind him was closing in fast. The gap between their speeds was simply too big.

"Pfft..."

Suddenly, a fireball rushed in from behind, moving at high speed.

The middle-aged man turned around, terrified.

Just as he turned his head, the fireball swallowed him. Before he even had time to scream, he was turned into ashes by the terrifying flames.

"Ah..."

When the other middle-aged man saw this scene, he fell to the ground with a pale face.

What just happened? A man was incinerated into ashes in an instant. Could it be any more terrifying? Is that guy in front of me still a human?

"Die..."

Zhang Xian rushed up, once again launching a plume of flame, reducing the middle-aged man, who hadn’t yet risen, to ashes.

"Damn..."

The Westerner’s eyes bulged with rage as he sprinted with all his might.

"Think you can run?"

Zhang Xian took one fast step forward, grabbed the Westerner’s collar, and swung him back.

"Ah..."

With a heartbreaking scream, the Western man fell flat on his back; the impact nearly made him vomit his guts out. Goddamn, that was a hefty fall!

"Running away, are we?"

Zhang Xian dragged the Westerner in front of the villa and threw him on the ground.

Then, he tossed over Muscly Man, Long-haired Man, and another petite middle-aged man.

"Uh..." Muscly Man was now much more submissive, daring not to be a brat anymore.

Before coming here, he had no idea that the man he had so massively underestimated would be this formidable. The seven of them attacking together couldn’t even touch a corner of the man’s clothes. The difference was immense.

"Spill it! Who sent you?"

Zhang Xian crossed his arms and coldly stared at the four men on the ground.

As for the one farthest away, he had already obliterated him completely. Turned into ashes and carried off by the wind.

"We won’t tell." The Westerner said with a stern face.

Zhang Xian smirked coldly, stating, "I know you won’t say. I also know you’d poison yourselves. However, none of you have the privilege of committing suicide now, so don’t force me to make a move!"

"Haha..." The Westerner gave a cold laugh, ready to bite the poison pill concealed in his mouth.

But, his smile just appeared when it abruptly froze. When he went to find the poison pill, it was gone. What the heck?

The others shared the same looks. How did the poison pill hidden in their mouths disappear just like that? This couldn’t be!

"What? Not feeling so cocky now?"

Zhang Xian pulled out three Golden Needles, stating, "Well then, let me have some fun. Let’s see which of you three can hold on the longest and who spills the beans on your boss."

"What are you going to do?" The Westerner retreated in fright.

Zhang Xian didn’t reply. He swiftly plunged the three Golden Needles into the three men’s bodies, infusing them with Spiritual Energy.

"Ah..."

At that moment, the trio began screaming in agony.

But it was as if something had caught in their throats. No matter how widely they opened their mouths, no sound escaped.

"Enjoy." Zhang Xian stood back, watching coldly.

The three middle-aged victims of the Golden Needles were writhing in pain. Their faces were monstrously twisted, appearing more terrifying than the demons in the movies.

Pain. Unimaginable pain. Their bodies seemed to be entirely out of their control, pain was all they could feel everywhere, save for their hair.

This pain was ineffable — if they had to put it into words, it was non-human pain, unbearable for any man.

"How does it feel?"

Zhang Xian pulled out another Golden Needle and chuckled darkly, "No rush, I have more varieties of pain for you to experience. We can take our time."

"No...I’ll tell you everything," the Long-haired Man couldn’t hold it in any longer.

The Westerner and the short one also gave rapid nods, ready to confess.

"Should have said that from the start. Does it take torture to make all of you speak the truth? You guys are pathetic."

Zhang Xian gave them a sly smirk, then, pulling out the Golden Needle, said, "I won’t ask much, just one thing, lead me to the higher-ups of your Skynet. If you fail, get ready for pain."

"But..."

The Southern man said, "We...won’t be able to lead you to them!"

"Is that so?"

Zhang Xian, once again wielding the Golden Needle, stated, "Seems like you need to experience the bliss of pain again before you will truly accept serving me."

"Please...don’t..."

The Westerner was horrified, quickly saying, "We...we can try."

"Just a try?"

Zhang Xian smirked coldly, "Then let me also give it a try and see if my methods can thoroughly destroy your mental defenses."

"Stop, I’ll make sure to bring them out." The Westerner was in tears.

This young man before him was not much older, yet his plans were so thorough. He was driving them into a corner with no way out. If they didn’t deliver, they’d suffer.

"You’re all stubborn and annoying,"

Zhang Xian suddenly dashed forward and plunged the three Golden Needles into them again, stating," Leave! If you three don’t bring them to me in three days, you will die in pain."

"No...really?"

The Westerner asked, "I’ve already agreed to bring them out, why did you need to needle us again?"

"You’re a fool, but not me. Won’t be fooled so easily,"

Zhang Xian laughed coldly, "Bring them out, and provide me an opportunity. You might avoid death. Play tricks, and you will die slowly in total agony."

"Hurgh..."

All three involuntarily swallowed hard, their faces paled.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot."

Zhang Xian suddenly turned his head and asked the Westerner, "You should have another accomplice, right? How come I haven’t seen her today? Give me her address."
