"A good response—"
Su Hao and Zhou Zhengtang immediately turned their gazes toward the direction from which the arrows had come.
There, on the dimly lit courtyard wall, stood two imposing figures, their faces obscured by black robes, standing silently like two statues.
"Hiding your head and showing your tail, why don't you come down and have some fun?"
Zhou Zhengtang licked his lips, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
He was furious that these two guys had ambushed him and almost caused him to lose his life!
Su Hao remained silent. He took out his crossbow again and stared coldly at the two of them.
He could sense a faint aura of danger emanating from these two people.
The two were clearly not weaklings.
"With you?"
On the wall, one of the men in black robes sneered, then leaped down and landed steadily.
"Your Zhou family doesn't have enough manpower to protect your life right now—so if you know what's good for you, you'd better get lost!"
Another man in black robes followed, slowly cocking his heavy crossbow.
Upon hearing their words, Su Hao's eyes narrowed slightly.
He glanced at the corpses of Yang Shouyi and the others on the ground and seemed to sense something was wrong.
His gaze shifted to Zhou Zhengtang, who also had a furrowed brow. Upon noticing Su Hao's gaze, Zhou Zhengtang immediately gave him a wink.
Clearly, he also discovered the body; perhaps there's something else going on?
"Since they're letting us leave, we won't stay any longer. Let's go, Brother Zhou!"
Su Hao stepped forward and pulled Zhou Zhengtang away.
"No way! That arrow almost hit me! Are we just going to let it go like this?"
Zhou Zhengtang said angrily.
"Our target is the Chu family. Don't forget the task the patriarch assigned us!"
Su Hao said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhengtang calmed down, glanced at the two men in black robes with resentment one last time, and then slowly retreated until he disappeared into the dark corner.
"Coward!"
The two men in black robes couldn't help but sneer as they watched Su Hao and his companion flee in fear.
If they weren't somewhat wary of Zhou Zhengtang's strength, and if they didn't have other missions to fulfill, they would never have let Zhou Zhengtang and his companion leave.
"Never mind him, let's check if these corpses have that thing on them first—"
The two then began to loot the corpse.
"Those two guys are definitely up to something!"
Meanwhile, in a secluded, sealed pavilion not far from the two men in black robes, Su Hao and Zhou Zhengtang watched through an observation hole in the wall as the two men in black robes repeatedly touched the corpses of Yang Shouyi and the others before reluctantly leaving.
Su Hao then turned his gaze away and spoke to Zhou Zhengtang.
"It seems they are also pursuing those who escaped from the Chu family. Could they be members of the Nestorian Church?"
Zhou Zhengtang frowned slightly.
"Possibly, and they seem to be looking for something—"
Su Hao nodded slightly.
A strange look appeared in his eyes.
"What do you want to do?"
Zhou Zhengtang leaned closer and asked.
I'm also curious what these people, who might be members of the Nestorian Church, are trying to find out about the Chu family at this time.
"Let's just follow along and see what happens. After all, our mission is to eliminate the escaped members of the Chu family, isn't it?"
Su Hao smiled.
He also wanted to see what these people were looking for.
"Can!"
Zhou Zhengtang nodded, and the two set off immediately. Soon, they left through the hidden passageway in the pavilion and disappeared into the night once again.
boom! !
In a ruin engulfed in flames, three figures clashed briefly before retreating, each landing several feet apart to confront the other.
Their gazes were icy cold, each wanting to kill the other!
"You two are no match for me. I already showed mercy just now. If you push your luck any further, don't blame me for not holding back!"
On the battlefield, a black-robed figure dressed in black and wearing a ghost mask coldly stared at Yan Chen and Old Ghost Qu.
His tone was gloomy, filled with murderous intent.
Upon hearing this, both Yan Chen and Qu Laogui's expressions changed, but they did not refute it.
Indeed, as the black-robed man before them had said, their strength was no match for the person before them.
From their previous encounters, they sensed the man's immense and unfathomable power.
It even made them think of top experts like Liu Tiandao and Zhang Xuantong in Yanshan City.
With that kind of strength, if someone really wanted to kill them, they probably wouldn't have any chance to fight back.
However, seeing that Chu Tian, the eldest son of the Chu family, was still in this person's hands on the ground not far away, they could not let him leave.
Their mission for tonight is to kill Chu Tian.
This was something they had promised the Zhou and Ren families.
"My friend, Chu Tian offered you a price, but I think the Zhou and Ren families could have offered much more. Why bother working for a family that's about to be destroyed?"
Yan Chen was unwilling to give up. He stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said loudly.
Old Qu simply stood silently to the side, without saying a word.
But he still nodded slightly in agreement.
"Heh heh! They're offering the entire Chu family. Do you think the Zhou and Ren families can afford that?" The man in black chuckled, shaking his head and sighing. "Alright, I've said my piece. If you still want to stop me, I won't hold back anymore!"
After saying that, the man in black robes took a leap and came to the unconscious Chu Tian, grabbing him in one swift motion!
Just as he was about to leave again, two more sharp whooshing sounds came from behind him.
The man in black robes' eyes turned cold, and he leaped forward, turning to pounce on Yan Chen and his companion who were chasing after him!
"You won't accept a toast offered politely!"
The man in black robes let out a low shout, and his speed was so great that it even stirred up a gust of wind, causing the snow on the ground to fly up.
Immediately, a palm print gleaming red and accompanied by a powerful gust of wind shot out, hurtling towards Yan Chen and his companion!
"Stop him!"
Yan Chen and his companion naturally dared not be negligent and raised their hands to defend themselves.
"Laughable resistance!" The man in black robes scoffed, then his arm trembled, and a vast and powerful surge of qi and blood gushed out from his arm, then converged towards his palm like spreading waves!
"What?!"
The sudden increase in force from the man in black caught Yan Chen and his companion off guard. The arms they had just raised to defend themselves were not enough to withstand the attack for more than a few breaths before they both coughed up blood and were thrown backward, crashing heavily into the ruins of the house.
"Overestimating yourself!"
With a flick of his sleeve, the man in black robes caused the house in front of him to collapse, once again hindering Yan Chen and his companion's pursuit.
After doing all this, he stepped away, grabbed Chu Tian from the ground, leaped onto the wall, and disappeared.
boom!
As the man in black robes left, two figures burst out of a ball of flames from the collapsed ruins engulfed in flames, then collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
It was Yan Chen and Qu Laogui.
After a long while, the two finally caught their breath and looked at the direction the black-robed man had left, their faces grim.
Now that Chu Tian has been taken away, their mission tonight can be considered a complete failure!
