The edge of the blade was cold, and the killing intent was even colder.

The pale mask seemed to emit a murderous aura.

The woman in black hastily jumped up. She was well aware of her own situation. If she was even slightly slower, she could have lost her head at any time.

A melee fight was imminent.

The two girls had only exchanged three rounds, but the black-clothed woman had already lost!

She knew that she was definitely not this masked woman's opponent, so she could only choose to protect herself. Xu Huang made a move and immediately left the battle, turning tail and running.

Anyone who underestimated their opponent usually wouldn't have a good ending, especially when they didn't have a clear understanding of their opponent's strength.

The girl in black was already regretting it somewhat. Why didn't she flee earlier?

Or perhaps, as long as he could hold Du Xue back then, he would not be so passive now.

However, her regret was useless. The only thing she could do was to constantly accelerate, accelerate, and increase her speed as she desperately escaped.

Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that she, who was originally a hunter, would now become the prey of others. Fortunately, her escaping technique was top-notch, and there weren't many people who could catch up to her.

Du Xue did not know what happened. She waited for the two mysterious women to leave and quickly took out her sharp blade and put it back into her body. Then, she turned and ran back.

After a short while, Du Xue returned to Zhou Xin's side. She realised that had fainted, and finally woke him up with a lot of effort.

"Snow …" Zhou Xin slowly opened his eyes, and immediately asked when he saw Du Xue: "Are you alright?"

"It's alright, let's hurry up and get in the car. It's not safe here." Du Xue shook her head and said.

"Did I faint just now?" Zhou Xin sat up from the ground, and rubbed his head that was a little heavy.

Du Xue acknowledged and said: "That assassin should still be in the vicinity. Let's get in the car first and then talk!"

The two of them returned to the car, and Zhou Xin asked again: "Do you know who the assassin is?"

"I don't know, she's covered her face, but she claims to be Duan Wuxie's adopted daughter." Du Xue said.

"Duan Wuxie actually has an adopted daughter?" Zhou Xin looked astonished, "I didn't even know that such a thing happened."

"It looks like we're not going to be able to pay respects to Uncle Zhi. Let's turn around and go back first. We'll come back another day!" Du Xue said.

"Since something like this happened, we naturally can't stay here any longer. The most important thing right now is to find that assassin, so as to avoid any future worries." After saying that, Zhou Xin paused for a moment before asking Du Xue curiously, "Oh right, how did you escape?"

"Someone saved me." Du Xue replied.

"Who is it?"

"I don't know. She was wearing a mask." Du Xue said, "But I recognize her as the woman who saved Du Li last time."

"It's her?" Zhou Xin was shocked, "Why did she save you?"

"I don't know either. We'll talk about it when we get back!"

"Alright!" Zhou Xin nodded his head in agreement, he immediately started the car and turned back.

As for the woman in black, it took her a lot of effort to escape the masked woman's pursuit. By the time she returned to the town, she was almost completely exhausted.

She slowly took off her mask, revealing a weak and cold face.

This female assassin was the one who failed when she tried to assassinate Deng Fan.

Of course, the poisonous spike wasn't her name, but her code name.

In the eyes of the poisonous stingers, the power of the masked woman who was chasing after him was even stronger than that of Deng Fan. It could only be described as terrifying.

After Deng Fan found out about Du Xue's assassination, he suggested his own idea, "I think that female assassin is the same person I met that night."

"I think so too." Du Xue said, "Can you describe her appearance?"

"She doesn't look special, but she's quite tall." Deng Fan said.

"Then it's a match. The assassin I met was also tall and slender. I definitely have reason to believe that the assassin we met was the same person, because we were both her arch enemy." Du Xue said confidently.

"Since she is Duan Wuxie's adopted daughter, there should be many doyens who know of her, right?" Deng Fan said.

"Probably only Duan Wuxie's trusted aides would know." Du Xue said, "However, this matter cannot be investigated openly, it can only be investigated secretly, I do not want to cause everyone to panic."

"I understand. I will help you investigate this matter." Deng Fan said.

One night Long Legs called the sting home.

The two of them bumped into each other in the yard, but Long Legs did not invite the poisonous spikes into the house.

"Why are you looking for me?" asked Venomous Stinger coldly.

Long Legs had a straight face, as if he had offended the entire village. He said unhappily, "Did you go to assassinate the president?"

"Yes." Venomous Stinger admitted honestly.

"Why?" Long Legs stared reproachfully at the sting. "Did I tell you to do that?"

"I have no choice but to avenge my father's death!" The sting was still as cold as ever.

"You are so stupid! Fortunately, you did not succeed or else you would be in trouble. " "Right now, the reputation of the guild leader is soaring. If she dies, the guild will certainly fall into chaos. If my men are found out to have killed the guild leader, then even if I want to die, I won't be able to." The meaning behind his words was that he would end up suffering a fate worse than death. If he were to commit an offense against the guild leader, the punishment for killing him would be very heavy, and the cruelty of it would be as cruel as cutting bones.

Lingchi was one of the most cruel death sentences in the ancient era. He had to use a total of 3357 blades, and only when he stabbed the criminal to death with the last knife of the 3357 blade could he be considered as a success.

It was precisely because of the cruelty of the gang's criminal law that many offenders would rather commit suicide than be judged and punished by the gang.

"Don't worry, I killed in my own name. I will bear all the consequences." said the sting.

"You speak quite easily. Other people don't think so. Some people's ability to catch even the tiniest bit of information on me will be infinitely formidable, let alone something as rebellious as killing the guild leader." Long legged.

The poisonous spike was silent for a moment when he heard this before he slowly asked, "You've come to find me just to tell me about this?"

"That's right!" "In any case, you must stop the assassination of the president, or I will denounce you myself."

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, as long as I'm alive, I won't give up on avenging my foster father." After finishing his words, the poisonous stinger turned around and walked out, not even leaving a single word of farewell.

"Halt!" Long Legs was clearly angry at the poisonous spike's rudeness. "You get back here!"

Faced with the long legs' shouts, the poisonous spike turned a deaf ear to them and instead quickened its steps towards the outside.

Just as the poisonous spike left the door, a cold light flashed. Following that, a 'chi' sound could be heard and her pupils dilated. However, her expression suddenly froze.

His blade swung out cleanly and nimbly.

A beautiful figure floated into the distance and quickly disappeared into the night.

A shallow line of blood appeared on the sting's neck.

After a while, her head slowly slid off, and a stream of blood spurted up from her carotid artery.

"What happened?" Long Legs sensed movement outside and murmured that he was rushing over from the inside.

When he got out of the gate, he screamed and fell to the ground.

He only saw that the poisonous spike was already dead. Furthermore, the head was separated from the body, and a bloody head rolled to the side of his long legs.

At night, the moon was bright, and the night was pleasant. However, the atmosphere in the meeting room was heavy.

Du Xue sat on the throne in the center with Deng Fan standing beside her.

The other Elders were also present, sitting on both sides of the hall, but the Long Legs did not arrive.

"Does anyone know why Elder Lu is not here?" Du Xue glanced at the elders and asked slowly.

When the Elders heard this, they looked at each other. They whispered amongst themselves for a while, but in the end, no one answered.

After a while, he suddenly heard the white-haired man say, "I think he's probably running away out of guilt. The assassin who assassinated the president must be him."

"Things haven't been investigated properly, so it's best not to make any presumptuous claims." Du Xue said.

"Guild leader, I'm not making an assertion. I have a basis." "As far as I know, Long-legged has always been Duan Wuxie's trusted aide. Whether out of self-protection or hatred, he definitely has a reason to commit such crimes."

Originally, Du Xue did not want to publicly investigate the matter of him being assassinated, but Zhou Xin had accidentally leaked it, so no one did not know about the matter of the President being assassinated. At this point, they could only publicly examine the situation.

"If he's innocent, why is he so slow to show himself?" The white-headed man went on.

Du Xue remained silent and did not comment to the white-haired man's words.

At this moment, someone suddenly ran in from outside in fear, holding a large, square wooden box in both hands.

Everyone turned to look, only to see that the person before them was none other than Lu Zhiguang, with his long legs.

"Guild leader!" I am guilty! " The moment Long Legs walked in, he immediately knelt in front of Du Xue, and begged for forgiveness, "It was my underlings who acted on their own, scaring the President. Even though it wasn't me who ordered it, it was because of my lack of strict discipline that the Venomous Needle did such a foolish thing. Now that I have executed the poisonous thorn, I have intentionally presented her head to the guild leader. With that, he opened the wooden box, and inside it was the head of a poisonous thorn.

When everyone heard this, they saw the head in the wooden box and were moved.

Du Xue asked: "Are you sure that assassin is the poisonous thorn?"

"I'm sure. The Venomous Stinger admitted it himself." "She said she wanted to avenge her foster father, which is Duan Wuxie. I severely reprimanded her at that time, but she refused to listen to my advice. Therefore, I had no choice but to carry out a lynching in place of the president and cut off her head in order to plead guilty to the president. "

"With your ability, you can kill the poisonous spikes?" Deng Fan expressed his doubt.

"Of course I couldn't win against her, but she didn't have the slightest wariness towards me. After drinking a cup of wine with extra seasonings, only then would I be able to take her head." Long Legs said.

Deng Fan felt that this was suspicious from start to end, hence he narrowed his eyes slightly. He stared at the long leg suspiciously, as if he wanted to see through him.

Long Leg immediately avoided Deng Fan's gaze and shifted his attention back to Du Xue. He continued to say: "President, everything I said was true, if there was even a single lie, I would be struck by lightning."

"I didn't say I don't trust you." Du Xue said lightly, "But you really shouldn't have killed the poisonous thorn, I still have something to ask her."

"What's the use of keeping such an outrageous person around?" "If I don't kill her, she will definitely offend the president again. If anything happens to the president, I will blame myself for it. But I also know that I am guilty, and I am willing to accept all of the President's punishments. "

"You killed the poisonous thorns on your own accord. You are truly muddle-headed. This is considered a mistake, but it cannot be considered as a crime. I do not plan to punish you either." Du Xue said.

With this said, some people immediately expressed their opposition.

An elder said, "President, please allow me to reject. How could the assassination of the guild leader be underestimated? If I can get rid of my sin like that, then wouldn't it be a huge mess if any of the Elders' brothers made a mistake and followed the example of Long Legs, killing the offending little brother to escape responsibility? "

"I think so too." The white-headed man continued, "In my opinion, long legs can be excused from the crime of death, but at least they have to leave something behind."
