Supernatural Insight Eyes-Chapter 102: Out of encirclement at 1 AM

Ever since he had stepped back from the world of assassins, Ye Qiu had not engaged in any killing unless truly compelled, and only then would he resort to ending a life.

He would never lay a hand on children and women; this had always been a principle of his.

Despite the boy running away and revealing his tracks, Ye Qiu knew the vicinity would soon be anything but peaceful.

Ye Qiu returned to the distance, hoisted the unconscious Ye Zi onto his back, and swiftly left the spot.

Just as Ye Qiu had expected, twenty minutes after he left, several figures appeared, searching for his trail.

"He’s not here."

The assassins exchanged glances, and soon after, one of them found a shell casing left on the ground. He picked it up and sniffed it by his nose.

"The blood hasn’t completely dried yet, continue the chase, we must kill this guy before everyone else does," one of the three leading assassins said indifferently.

After these three assassins departed, many more arrived at the location, usually solo or in pairs; it was quite a rarity to see three assassins working together.

By this time, Ye Qiu had already run over thirty miles with Ye Zi, who was small in stature and light in weight, not much burden to Ye Qiu, so it did not affect his speed.

Ye Qiu moved through the jungle like a leopard sprinting at high speed.

Even though he had been running non-stop for four hours, Ye Qiu remained vigilant. He had a premonition that many formidable assassins would appear, intent on leaving him no escape from the delta.

What concerned Ye Qiu the most was the power behind the notorious Blood Wolf Mercenary Group.

This infamous mercenary group didn’t operate alone; they were backed by a massive force, and this was the power Ye Qiu feared.

Ye Qiu didn’t know much about this force, only having heard of it. Once he reached his training goal, he withdrew from assassin affairs and thus knew very little about this power.

As Ye Qiu navigated through the forest, he also searched for medicinal herbs to better treat Ye Zi’s wounds.

Ye Zi would occasionally let out a soft moan from the back, and Ye Qiu felt as if he had returned to a scene from ten years ago, which bore some resemblance to the present.

It must be said it was a great coincidence that after ten years, the two of them would encounter a similar situation again.

That night!

From the distant night sky, starlight and moonlight spilled into every corner, tender green leaves stretched in the darkness, growing slowly, making everything in the forest look so vibrant and tranquil.

The crickets’ fragmented murmur covered the slight tremor that passed through the night.

In the silence, a black figure quietly approached Ye Qiu and Ye Zi, who were sitting quietly under a tree.

The figure aimed at the spot where Ye Qiu and his companion were, slowly pulled out a dark long rifle, his motions sluggish, soundless, as if everything was happening in silence, in another realm.

The dark muzzle pointed at Ye Qiu’s heart. After aiming, the figure’s finger hooked instantly.

Whoosh!

At the same moment, the distant Ye Qiu trembled slightly, and from his position, he shot a streak of silver light towards the hidden figure.

The speed of the silver light was even faster than a bullet; in the blink of an eye, it pierced the center of the lurking figure’s forehead.

Meanwhile, Ye Qiu had already twisted his body to the side, evading before the bullet could hit his chest. With only the sound of a swish, the bullet buried itself harshly into the grass, scattering a spray of broken leaves and blades.

"So... so fast..."

The figure let out a single cry, then no more breath came from him, and he fell to the ground dead.

Ye Qiu then walked over, looked at the fallen man in black, and with a slight motion of his palm against the man’s forehead, a silver needle gleaming with white light reappeared in his hand.

It was this very silver needle that had taken the life of the assassin.

Hua Tuo’s thirty-six needles could not only cure diseases and save lives, but also take them as if they were but weeds.

How they were used depended entirely on a single thought of their master.

At that moment, Ye Qiu didn’t hold back, delivering a fatal blow to finish off the other party. Ye Qiu felt no burden, merely casting a cold glance before turning away to leave.

Since they harbored the intent to kill him, desiring his life, they should be prepared to be taken down in return.

This wasn’t the first, nor would it be the last.

Ye Qiu’s mood did not brighten upon dealing with the first of the assassins to come after him; on the contrary, his brows furrowed even more.

Looking at Ye Zi, who was sound asleep, her complexion had much improved, with added rosiness and her lips not bit tightly together, presenting a serene expression on her face.

After pondering for a while, Ye Qiu sighed inwardly. He didn’t immediately leave with Ye Zi, not wanting to disturb her peaceful sleep.

The next morning, the fog was heavy, obscuring the sun, with dewdrops everywhere.

Ye Zi eventually muttered faintly, "Cold, cold, cold..."

Ye Qiu lifted his eyelids and draped his overcoat over Ye Zi. As he looked at the fog engulfing the jungle, he felt a hint of trouble brewing.

The fog was so thick that it could confuse one’s sense of direction. Moreover, it was unclear when the dense fog would dissipate.

Ye Qiu hoisted Ye Zi onto his back and continued on their way. He needed to bring her through this stretch of mountains to reach Myanmar before they could safely return to their own country.

The road ahead was tough, just as much for Ye Qiu as for the assassins pursuing him.

The demise of the first assassin Ye Qiu had dispatched was already being talked about among the others. Those who dared to continue their pursuit were individuals of both high skill and boldness.

It wasn’t long before Ye Qiu encountered the second assassin.

This person excelled in hidden weapons, and the thick fog only provided the assassin with a tactical advantage, giving Ye Qiu quite the headache. If it hadn’t been for Ye Qiu’s unexpectedly deploying his silver needle as a deadly weapon to take out the other party, continuing the struggle would have posed even greater danger for him and Ye Zi.

The assassins bold enough to come after him were only becoming stronger!

And as Ye Qiu successively eliminated one assassin after another, the world of assassins was once again in an uproar. Top-tier assassins were perishing at Ye Qiu’s hands, undoubtedly elevating his stature even higher, causing many to sigh in secret at how difficult he was to contend with.

Fortunately, there was exciting news for some; with no one able to take down Ye Qiu, the legacy-followers of "Chai" were stirred. A legend in the world of assassins, a golden-level assassin, the "God of Assassins," was preparing to make a move.

The God of Assassins had not taken action for many years, but now for the rather unknown Ye Qiu, he would personally undertake the mission to take him down.

This was big news, an event of magnitude.

The assassin community began to seethe with excitement—the God of Assassins was about to strike!

At the same time, many were speculating that "Chai" had also flared up, playing his trump card. In that moment, the world of assassins was subject to rapid and unpredictable changes, with countless powers focusing on this battle.

Just how far had the long-silent God of Assassins ascended? Everyone was curious.
