...

A palm landed on Akao Ryota's shoulder. The strength wasn't much, but enough for him to clearly feel it, and he could vaguely sense a bit of warmth seeping through the thin clothing, directly onto Akao Ryota's skin, confirming from another angle that this wasn't a hallucination.

Akao Ryota was taken aback, his body slightly stiffened.

Why?

There were only three people in the entire room... Xu Yuanshan, Xu Yuanshan's guest, and Akao Ryota. But now Xu Yuanshan and the guest were right in front of him, so then...

"Who's patting me?"

Akao Ryota was also puzzled, with this question emerging in his mind, clearly a bit bewildered by the unexpected slap.

Akao Ryota was already a master level late stage expert, and an elite upper ninja among ninjas, with formidable strength and a keen sense of danger.

It had always been him who could approach targets unnoticed, never had anyone come behind him without him sensing it...

In his memories, except for a few extremely powerful priests of the Dao Shen Sect, it seemed few could achieve this...

But the problem is, those priests were without exception grandmaster-level experts, much superior to an upper ninja like him at the master level late stage.

"Could it be that Xu Yuanshan has a grandmaster-level expert protecting him?"

This thought flashed quickly through Akao Ryota's mind, even he couldn't believe it, but it seemed the only reasonable explanation.

But Akao Ryota didn't have much time to think about these things, he was here to assassinate Xu Yuanshan, and the owner of this palm was affecting his mission; under no circumstances could he just let it go!

Almost instinctively, Akao Ryota swiftly swung his other hand behind him...

Swish swish swish~~

A series of faint sounds were heard, as shadows shot out from his hand, moving extremely fast and continuously, appearing especially fierce.

And at this moment, that hand was still on Akao Ryota's shoulder, showing how close the two were. Striking suddenly at this time, Akao Ryota was confident that he could make the other suffer...

As a ninja, and an upper ninja with particularly terrifying strength, Akao Ryota believed his skill in ninjutsu was quite commendable.

The Invisibility Technique was remarkably effective, at least Xu Yuanshan and his guest hadn't discovered his presence yet...

His expertise with hidden weapons was also impressive, as Akao Ryota had refined this skill for many years, with a record of taking down four master level peak experts...

Although he had never assassinated a grandmaster-level expert, on these ninja darts, Akao Ryota had deliberately applied deadly poison before coming here, just in case a formidable expert intervened during the assassination of Xu Yuanshan...

Although grandmaster-level experts were formidable, if struck by his poisoned dart, they might suppress the poison's spread temporarily with their immense inner strength, but they'd also lose their ability to attack.

While a grandmaster-level expert not exerting full power was still daunting, Akao Ryota was confident he could seize a very brief opportunity to strike.

Of course, this wouldn't be against the grandmaster-level expert; a camel dying of starvation is still bigger than a horse. Once such an expert faces a mortal threat, they are likely to go all out with deadly force.

Akao Ryota was confident he couldn't compete with an enraged grandmaster-level expert, to the extent that he might even lose his life...so naturally, his target was the person he intended to kill, Xu Yuanshan, Chairman Xu, sitting right in front of him!

Akao Ryota was extremely confident, after launching the ninja darts, he didn't even bother with the situation behind him, immediately gripping his dagger and moved to kill the unsuspecting Xu Yuanshan.

Truly worthy of being a top-tier upper ninja, Akao Ryota's swift action demonstrated his terrifying prowess, the dagger glinted with a chilling cold light as it darted towards Xu Yuanshan's neck.

Xu Yuanshan seemed to have some sense of it too, as he was talking to his friend, suddenly furrowing his brows with a slight change in his expression.

Still, he was just a regular person, facing a top-tier upper ninja like Akao Ryota, even in direct confrontation, there was no chance of survival, let alone Akao Ryota attacking in stealth, with not a hint of defense...

Bam~~

And just as Akao Ryota's dagger was about to pierce Xu Yuanshan's neck, this guy suddenly felt a strong gust from behind, incredibly fast and fierce, giving an utterly irresistible sensation...

Realizing this change, Akao Ryota's complexion altered, silently cursing in his heart, instinctively wanting to dodge.

But it was already too late, the attack from behind was too swift, surpassing even his knife's speed by several tiers.

Just a few centimeters away from Xu Yuanshan, Akao Ryota suddenly felt an incredibly heavy impact on his back, striking his spine...

This impact made his whole body go rigid, devoid of any strength to move. The dagger that was about to pierce Xu Yuanshan's neck froze right there.

Then...

Akao Ryota's slight frame was like a small cannonball, suddenly kicked off the ground, making a beautiful arc in the air, and was fiercely kicked away...

The speed was incredibly fast, reaching an extreme, so much so that Akao Ryota himself was terrified. Unfortunately, his body was completely paralyzed, leaving him no chance to move, only able to watch helplessly as his head rushed at high speed towards the nearby wall.

Akao Ryota was kicked away, his body almost flying away while gripping Xu Yuanshan's neck. The person who delivered the kick had an incredible mastery over their Strength.

Not only did the kick send Akao Ryota flying, but it also conveniently saved Xu Yuanshan's life. The dagger was unbearably close, yet it didn't even graze a single hair on Xu Yuanshan.

Xu Yuanshan and his friend were both slightly stunned, looking incredulously at this suddenly appearing "human cannonball".

They were just talking in the room, discussing important business cooperation, and they weren't aware of anyone else being there. How did someone suddenly appear?

No, not one person, but... two!

One was Akao Ryota, the ninja assassin, and the other was Qin Fang who had tracked him down.

Akao Ryota was originally in a state of invisibility, using a special secret technique, also known as "Ninjutsu".

However, this secret technique is easy to break. If someone bumps into Akao Ryota, the invisibility effect fails, revealing his form.

The recent kick was far from just a little bump; it kicked Akao Ryota right out of his invisible state, with no chance to hide...

Coincidentally, Qin Fang also mastered this "Ninjutsu", and even more proficiently... To put it plainly, Ninjutsu evolved from the Five Elements Escape Technique of the Thousand Gate.

Qin Fang possesses Stealth Skill, and with the Grandmaster-level Thousand Skills enhanced by the Heavenly Machine Ring, even if he couldn't yet play around with Qimen Dunjia, it still wasn't difficult to handle a small ninja.

Akao Ryota had impressive skills and was quite adept, but unfortunately, he appeared at the wrong place at the wrong time, and encountered the last person he should have...

Thus, when these coincidences piled up, Akao Ryota's tragedy was sealed!

Bang~~

Just as Xu Yuanshan was astonished, the end for Akao Ryota had already come. His body lost all strength to move, witnessing helplessly as he crashed into the hard wall.

Then...

After a dull thudding sound, Akao Ryota's head burst open, with dark red blood pouring out freely, painting a pitiful picture.

Not only that, but Akao Ryota's body, especially on the spine, emitted a series of cracking sounds...

With each crack, Akao Ryota's body twitched unnaturally, looking remarkably odd...

Such a scene was naturally caught in the shocked eyes of Xu Yuanshan and his friend, who were utterly baffled by what these suddenly appearing people were doing!

"Sorry, Mr. Xu... just a small trouble, already taken care of! You two continue... I'll just take this guy away!"

Qin Fang didn't bother explaining much, just gave a calm smile, expressing goodwill towards Xu Yuanshan.

At least Mr. Xu Yuanshan's actions were worthy of Qin Fang's admiration, so he didn't want to see him get killed unnecessarily, especially by the Japanese.

The collision for Akao Ryota wasn't minor, although not yet completely dead, his life was almost gone.

Sealed by Qin Fang, stripped of defense, his body clashed against the hard wall—it's easy to imagine the outcome.

Xu Yuanshan was utterly dumbfounded, staring at Qin Fang with an extremely odd look, understanding that Qin Fang had no ill intentions; otherwise, he might have screamed for help.

However, Qin Fang ignored this, quickly walking to the barely breathing Akao Ryota, picking up his limp body like a dead dog, and without ceremony, dragged him out of the room...

Akao Ryota, such a formidable ninja, unexpectedly met his end in this mission in this manner. It's likely something even Akao Ryota never anticipated.

Yet, such are the facts. It can only be said that he was incredibly unlucky. Having barely slipped past tight security, just as the mission was about to be accomplished, this suddenly happened... Failing to kill his target wasn't the worst. Worse, Akao Ryota himself got caught up in the aftermath! (To be continued.
