Chapter 2481 Being attacked
No one in this world has an easy life.
Even if some people appear glamorous, behind the scenes, they must have paid a price that others cannot imagine.
Li Yan has her own troubles, and Qin Fei has his own pain.
We are all fellow sufferers in this world.
Back to reality, the assassin was indeed quite stubborn. Even though endless pain was now befalling him, he showed no intention of begging for mercy.
However, this pain will only intensify over time. He can endure it now, but it's uncertain whether he can continue to endure it later.
Qin Fei had no interest in slowly questioning the assassin; he wanted to wait until the assassin broke down his own psychological defenses before proceeding.
As the old saying goes, being in a state worse than death is the most unbearable thing.
The assassin was indeed experiencing pain, but this pain would not kill him; it would only drive him mad. Therefore, Qin Fei was in no hurry to interrogate him.
Is he going to stall?
Then let's slowly wear each other down!
Time passed second by second, and soon the assassin was curled up on the ground, trembling all over, foaming at the mouth, looking like he was about to die.
But Qin Fei knew that as long as he didn't continue to exert external force on him, he wouldn't die so easily.
After all, this person possesses such a powerful realm. Even if his cultivation is temporarily sealed, his strong physical body is enough to support his survival.
"Stop torturing me, I'll tell you... I'll tell you everything..."
About an hour later, the assassin, who was as stubborn as a rock in a latrine, finally couldn't take it anymore.
His face was deathly pale, and he was covered in sweat. He looked like he had just been pulled out of the water after falling into it. He looked extremely disheveled.
A dignified assassin has been reduced to this grotesque state. Even if his colleagues were standing next to him, they probably wouldn't dare to recognize him; the difference is simply too great.
"Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier?"
"Why suffer so much for nothing?"
Although the assassin had begged for mercy, Qin Fei did not remove the bone needles from his body immediately. Qin Fei intended to make the assassin suffer a little more.
Only in this way can the other party truly remember this lesson!
About ten minutes later, just as the assassin felt his consciousness fading away, Qin Fei finally removed the bone needles from his body.
The moment the bone needle was removed, the assassin felt an unprecedented wave of pleasure wash over him, causing him to utter a sound that only a woman would make.
"Nima..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Fei, Li Yan, and their protectors all felt a chill run down their spines, and the hairs on their bodies seemed to stand on end.
"Shut your stinking mouth right now!" Qin Fei slapped the other person across the mouth and shouted.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
After being slapped hard by Qin Fei, the assassin almost burst into tears.
He didn't cry out when he was in pain, and now that he's feeling better, he's getting beaten for making a sound.
Is there any justice left in this world?
"Tell me, how many more of you are lurking in the shadows?" Once the assassin's emotions had calmed down a bit, Qin Fei immediately began to ask.
"I do not know."
To Qin Fei's surprise, the other party's first response was simply that they didn't know.
"If you don't know this and you don't know that, then what use are you to me?"
"I really don't know." Upon hearing Qin Fei's words, the assassin immediately began to complain: "None of us who go out on missions contact each other. We don't even know who our own people are. I only know that if I fail to kill my target, the next person will take my place."
"Until you kill me?" Qin Fei asked.
“Yes!” the assassin replied.
"Nima..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Fei felt as if a thousand mud-covered horses were galloping through his heart.
It seems that Li Yan really hadn't lied to me before; this organization was truly sparing no effort to eliminate their targets.
One assassin fails, another takes his place, and the next one fails, and so on.
As long as everyone in this organization survives, I'll eventually die at their hands.
After all, the speed at which he improves his cultivation level can't keep up with the speed at which they send out powerful experts.
They're going to hunt me down until I die.
The ends of the earth truly live up to their name.
"Do you know who wants to kill me?" Qin Fei asked again, taking a deep breath.
“We are only responsible for accepting the tasks passed down from above, and we don’t ask questions about anything else, so I can’t answer this question either,” the assassin replied.
Assassins generally maintain single-line communication, whether in the secular world or the cultivation world, because this is the only way they can maintain maximum secrecy.
"Then you should know who gave you the orders, right?" Qin Fei asked with a gloomy face.
“I don’t know either,” the assassin replied.
"You fucking bastard..."
This time, Qin Fei really couldn't hold back anymore and blurted out, "If you don't know anything and don't say anything, I don't think there's any need for us to continue talking."
A person's life must have value, but it's obvious that this assassin has no remaining value. Apart from making me angrier, he doesn't seem to have provided any useful information.
This naturally angered Qin Fei.
“There’s no need to rush. Every interaction will have a trace. As long as we follow the clues, we might be able to achieve something!” Li Yan said at this moment.
“Then help me!” Qin Fei said immediately.
Li Yan: "..."
"Why do I feel like you're deliberately waiting for me to speak?" Li Yan couldn't help but ask.
"Indeed!"
Qin Fei readily admitted, "With my current abilities, I simply cannot follow the trajectory you've described, so I have no choice but to ask for your help."
The Tianya Haijiao organization is no ordinary organization. Almost every assassin among them is a powerful figure, and the person who gives orders to these assassins must be an expert among experts.
Therefore, Qin Fei definitely doesn't have the ability to investigate, but Li Yan is different. He has the support of the entire Li family, plus the powerful help of a protector. If he wants to help me investigate, it is still possible to find out who is behind it all.
The assassin didn't know who wanted to kill him, but the person who gave him the order might know, so they would definitely follow this lead.
"How do you receive messages from your superiors?" Li Yan walked up to the assassin and asked.
“We have a fixed location to receive messages. The higher-ups will leave the mission slips there, and we just go and collect them,” the assassin replied.
"After you complete the mission, do you report the information in the same way?" Li Yan asked again.
"Of course."
“Okay, then write me a note now saying that the mission is complete.” Li Yan quickly came up with an idea.
Since both sides are communicating in this ancient way, they could easily use the notes to lure out the assassin's superior.
"But if I want to write, I have to use the power within my body, because only in this way will the people above believe that this is something we wrote ourselves."
It's important to know that everyone's aura is different. Anything written using true qi will naturally carry that person's aura. The Tianya Haijiao organization uses this method to confirm identities, which is quite cautious.
"Release the seal on him!" Upon hearing this, Li Yan immediately gave his protector a wink.
Upon hearing this, Li Yan's protector nodded, and then he slapped the assassin on the shoulder with one hand. Instantly, the aura that had been sealed away by the assassin burst forth like a flood.
"die!"
But the moment his seal was broken, the assassin's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he swung his hand like a blade directly at Qin Fei.
Everything happened in an instant. No one expected that the assassin would harbor the intention of launching a sneak attack. For a moment, no one could react, including Qin Fei himself.
In his view, the assassin had been tortured beyond recognition, and his psychological defenses had been completely broken down, which was why he was willing to cooperate with him.
But who could have imagined that even under extreme torment, this assassin would still maintain his 'original intention' and still put himself to death!
He was prepared to die in exchange for Qin Fei's life.
His cultivation level was much higher than Qin Fei's, and even stronger than that old dog Saito. Under such circumstances, how could Qin Fei possibly withstand the opponent's sneak attack?
The moment he made contact with the opponent's power, Qin Fei felt an overwhelming sense of impending death approaching. His body was struck, and he was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.
His consciousness almost instantly plunged into boundless darkness.
He didn't know if he was dead or not, but he was certainly having a hard time.
"How brave!"
Seeing what was happening before their eyes, Li Yan and his guardians were both shocked and furious!
The situation happened so suddenly that they didn't have time to react.
By the time they realized what was happening, Qin Fei had already been sent flying.
Like Qin Fei, they couldn't believe that the assassin would still dare to attack Qin Fei under such circumstances.
Doesn't the word "fear" even exist in his mind?
"die!"
Li Yan unleashed his full protective aura, then reached out and grabbed the assassin by the neck.
With a powerful thrust, the assassin's neck shattered, and his head tilted to the side.
"Hurry up and save people!"
Li Yan reacted quickly as well, but at this moment his focus was not on whether the assassin was dead or not, but on ensuring Qin Fei's survival.
"If this person dies, we'll really become a laughing stock."
Looking at Qin Fei lying not far away, Li Yan felt his heart sink to the bottom.
He had never felt so humiliated before.
