School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert-Chapter 472 - 473: The Assassin

Xiao Han and Chen Zihan still maintained the habit of seeing each other every night. They would walk the streets hand in hand, wandering through the big and small alleys of Linjiang City. Little did they know, danger was silently closing in on Xiao Han.

While Xiao Han and Chen Zihan were strolling, two shadows had already started tailing Xiao Han. One of them wore a black hoodie, a duckbill cap on his head, and a pair of black sunglasses on his nose bridge, appearing mysterious. The other man wore a brown leather jacket, a gray scarf around his neck, leather shoes on his feet, and a cigarette hanging from his mouth, his eyes glinting with a cold killing intent.

"When do we make our move?" the man with sunglasses asked.

"Don't rush!" the third man shook his head, "It's not convenient to act with the two of them together."

"Might as well kill them both," the man with sunglasses frowned, "I already have two lives on my hands, I don't care about two more."

"You can't talk like that," the third man shook his head, "The Jiang family only paid us for one life. If we kill two people, wouldn't that be a bad deal? In my opinion, it's best to wait until the kid is alone before we make our move."

"Fine," the man with sunglasses had no choice but to nod in agreement when he heard this.

The third man smiled slyly, then added, "Listen to me, it's correct. It's tough to act when they're together. If the other one takes the chance to call the police, it will be extremely unfavorable for us. Understand?"

"Mm!" the man with sunglasses nodded slightly.

The two continued their separate actions. They maintained a certain distance, occasionally alternating their tracking, swapping roles now and then. Their surveillance skills were strong, and so was their counter-surveillance awareness. In short, these two men were definitely not sitting ducks.

A smile played on the lips of the man with sunglasses. He gestured to the third man. The third man put up two fingers and immediately dove into a car parked by the side of the road.

Xiao Han was still somewhat green; he continued walking on the sidewalk holding Chen Zihan's hand.

After wandering around for more than two hours, it was unknowingly already past nine-thirty.

"Let me take you home," Xiao Han spoke up.

"Mhm," Chen Zihan nodded shyly.

Xiao Han turned around, hailed a cab, and then sent Chen Zihan back to her home. With nothing better to do, Xiao Han walked slowly towards Fuxing Community from Chen Zihan's neighborhood. On the way, Xiao Han wandered alone at a steady pace, humming a tune as he walked.

Walking alone on a cold winter night, the temperature was very low; however, Xiao Han didn't feel the winter's cold at all, his body felt warm. Love's nourishment and the presence of this warmth made Xiao Han feel very comfortable and cozy. With love in his heart, even in the coldest places in the world, he would not feel any icy coldness but only great comfort.

As he walked, Xiao Han contemplated his and Chen Zihan's future. This time, the Jiang family members certainly wouldn't let bygones be bygones. It was one thing for the Jiang family members to make a move on him, but he was worried they might go after Chen Zihan, which would be troublesome. He could handle the Jiang family's hassle, but Chen Zihan could not. Nor could Chen Zihan's family. That was certain.

Walking slowly, he went from Chen Zihan's home all the way to Fuxing Community.

The road at the entrance of Fuxing Community looked very worn down because it was not under municipal maintenance; hence, it was in a state of disrepair. Fuxing Community didn't have the funds to cover the cost of repairing this road. So, the road had never been properly fixed and remained dark. Consequently, the entrance to Fuxing Community was a rather chaotic place. Often there would be thugs and hooligans misbehaving here, robbing, or assaulting women…

It was also for this reason that very few people dared to go to Fuxing Community late at night, and even taxis eventually became fearful of coming there, adding much inconvenience to the residents of the community. When Xiao Han arrived here, he had a bad feeling in his heart. Now that he had earned some money, should he do something for the residents here? After all, fixing the street lights shouldn't cost too much.

Just as Xiao Han was thinking about this, suddenly, a bright light from high-beams swept over him from behind. Seeing this, Xiao Han quickly moved aside on the road.

But Xiao Han soon realized that the light was moving quickly and, judging by the angle of his shadow and the rate at which it lengthened, Xiao Han could tell the car was heading straight for him. So, he quickly leaped to the side.

Boom…

Suddenly, the car rammed into the spot where he stood just a moment ago.

The impact sent the front of the car crashing into the green belt beside the road. The front end smashed against a tree, the vehicle's nose buried deep. White smoke billowed from inside the car, probably from coolant leaking, creating a thick and pitiful sight.

At this moment, the car doors opened. Two sturdy men got out from the car, one wearing sunglasses, the other donned in a brown leather jacket. They approached Xiao Han slowly, one in front and one behind. A sly smile appeared on Xiao Han's lips. "You guys aren't drunk, are you?"

"Drunk your grandpa," the man with sunglasses stared at Xiao Han angrily.

"Stop wasting words with him," the third man spoke, "We need to be quick. Once we're done with this kid, let's get out of here."

Hearing this, Xiao Han immediately realized these two guys came prepared. He smiled faintly, "Ho, so you two came for me? Interesting."

"Kid, do you realize you've offended someone you shouldn't have?" the man with sunglasses let out a cold laugh.

"I know!" Xiao Han nodded, "Seeing your get-up, I could guess with my toes that it was the Jiang family who sent you. Am I right?"

"Right!" the man with sunglasses nodded, "Kid, you're dead meat today."

"That's hard to say," Xiao Han replied with a slight smile, "Why would I be afraid of a blind man?"

"You're the fucking blind man," the man in sunglasses retorted irritably, then added, "Who's afraid of you?"

"What's the matter?" Xiao Han laughed and asked, "What normal person wears a pair of sunglasses at night? Are you full and just have nothing better to do?"

"Uh..." The man in sunglasses hesitated, then said awkwardly, "I like wearing sunglasses, got a problem with that?"

"No problem!" Xiao Han chuckled, then added, "So you're just another blind man."

"Stop the nonsense with him!" the third brother glanced at the man in sunglasses and said, "Let's do it, kill the kid and we'll skedaddle with the money early."

"Mhm!" the man in sunglasses nodded.

Then, the two immediately took out their phones from their pockets and swiftly pounced on Xiao Han. They approached from the left and right, coordinating their movements perfectly. The level of their tacit understanding appeared practiced, and they were clearly very experienced.

The third brother squinted his eyes, and with a flick of his hand, a gleaming dagger split into three rays of light in the darkness. Those three beams of light aimed at Xiao Han almost in the blink of an eye.

"Heh heh..." the third brother chuckled.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Han's expression grew grave. These two guys were old hands in Jianghu, and they seemed very steady. As a Jianghu novice, he was sure to be at a disadvantage in experience, but with his extraordinary abilities, he didn't need to fear them. In the face of truly great strength, any scheme or ploy would be shattered.

Crack...

Before the third brother's triumphant smile could fade, Xiao Han struck with a palm that hit the third brother's wrist. The third brother instantly felt a stabbing pain in his wrist, and let out a cry of surprise as the dagger in his hand fell to the ground.

"Aiyo..." the third brother cried out in pain.

The man in sunglasses held a sharp, short knife that still sparkled with a cold light under the dim street lamp. Seeing this, he rushed forward immediately: "Kid, your life is mine."

Despite wearing sunglasses at night, the man was strong and quick. He handled the short knife with dexterity as if it was alive. Xiao Han quickly stepped back, but found himself against the wall of Fuxing Community.

Whoosh...

Xiao Han kicked off the wall with one leg, his body soaring into the air.

Slap...

In mid-air, Xiao Han lightly tapped the back of the other man with one foot.

"Ow hey..."

Bang!

Before the man in sunglasses could finish his cry of pain, a tremendous force hit his back. Propelled by that force, he crashed into the wall of Fuxing Community. Dazed by the impact, he felt a swelling bump on his forehead. He quickly rubbed between his eyebrows, exclaiming in shock, "You damn troublemaker, I will kill you."

"Kill me?" Xiao Han replied with disdain, "With your skills, I'm afraid you couldn't even touch a single hair on me."

The two men felt utterly surprised.

They had never imagined that this delicate-looking pretty boy would have such impressive fighting skills.

"Third brother, looks like our information was wrong," the man in sunglasses said awkwardly.

"Yeah." The third brother nodded and added, "Didn't expect it to turn out this way."

"What the heck is going on?" the man in sunglasses said, looking at the third brother with an embarrassed face. This turn of events was completely unexpected to him, unbelievable. They had never thought this guy would have such formidable skills. He was no match for him.

"Let's not worry about that now," the third brother shook his head, then said, "Our most important task right now is to defeat this kid."

"Yeah!" the man in sunglasses nodded, then said, "But the problem is, it seems like we can't beat him now."

"We have to fight even if we can't win!" the third brother declared.

"Alright then!" the man in sunglasses had no choice but to agree.
