Crack!

As the door opened, Gong Lin was taken aback. In the room, a strange foreign man was sitting beside Ye Jingyi, reaching out towards her face!

"Who are you? Don't touch Jingyi!" Gong Lin exclaimed in shock, her voice raised.

Hurried footsteps suddenly echoed from the stairs.

"Heh heh, another beauty!" The man's lips curled into a sinister smile. He dashed to the doorway, took Gong Lin by surprise, and wrapped his arm around her waist.

"Let go of Miss Gong!" A shout filled the air, and a Gale Wind struck towards the man.

The man's eyes twitched, and he quickly retreated, murmuring under his breath, "Heavenly Level peak Grandmaster!"

"Who are you?" Xuan Long and another appeared at the door, pulling Gong Lin behind them, shouting fiercely.

"The files of the Four Great Aristocratic Families are really incomplete, aren't they!"

The man looked coldly at Xuan Long and his companion, "I didn't expect Jiang Chen to have two Grandmasters at the peak of Heavenly Level!"

Thump thump thump!

At that moment, a series of footsteps sounded, and a squad of guards rushed into the villa from outside.

Whoosh!

The man's figure flickered, as he turned to pick up Ye Jingyi and attempted to jump out of the window to escape.

"Where do you think you're going!"

"Stay right there!"

Both Xuan Long and the other person shouted simultaneously, one charging towards the window to cut off the man's escape, and the other heading straight for the man.

Bang bang!

Two muffled sounds later, the man was trapped between Xuan Long and his partner.

"Assassin?!" A cold glint flashed in Xuan Long's eyes.

It was easy for masters to discern an opponent's most common tactics, especially when the difference in strength was not significant.

Xuan Long and the others had been secretly trained by the Jiang Family since childhood and had spent a few years abroad, coming into contact with mercenaries and assassins quite often, thus they recognized the man's background at a glance.

This man was the Viper, one of the three great experts brought in by the Four Great Aristocratic Families.

After Mengda Ge'er and Da Lisu left the Lin Family, the Viper left as well. Mengda Ge'er chose to approach openly, whereas the Viper chose to sneak in, planning to capture Jiang Chen's woman first. He was an assassin, not a warrior; as long as he could kill his target, he didn't care about the means.

"Oh! Not bad eyesight!"

The Viper sneered coldly, placing Ye Jingyi back on the bed with his backhand as he clashed with Xuan Long and his partner. Holding onto Ye Jingyi was restricting his movements, yet from the moment he had first seen her, he had wanted to possess her and was reluctant to harm her.

During this time, even though Ye Jingyi had been in a coma, Jiang Chen had performed acupuncture and massages on her daily to maintain her vitality. Additionally, since she had been free from any strains, Ye Jingyi's skin and complexion were extremely delicate. Any man who saw her would be instantly captivated, and the Viper was no exception!

"You two have interrupted me enjoying this beauty; I've decided to flay you alive!" A cold light flickered in the Viper's eyes as he leaped towards Xuan Long, who was blocking the window.

Whoosh!

Bang bang!

The three of them started to fight fiercely within the bedroom!

Gong Lin, with a panicked look, rushed to the window, glanced at the engaged trio, and hurriedly picked up Ye Jingyi, attempting to flee.

"Leave the beauty for me!" The Viper shouted loudly, kicking Yan Hu fiercely aside. A dagger suddenly appeared in his hand, slashing like lightning towards the throat of Xuan Long.

Xuan Long was startled and quickly backed away to dodge, while the Viper took advantage of the gap to turn towards Gong Lin.

"Be careful!"

"Hah!"

Xuan Long exclaimed aloud, Yan Hu bellowed and fiercely kicked toward the back of the viper's heart, striking where he must save!

A fierce look flashed in the viper's eyes, "If I can't have it, then it must be destroyed!"

The viper was a decisive person, and ruthlessly so. Seeing that it was unlikely he could take Ye Jingyi away, he directly went for the kill, throwing the dagger in his hand towards Ye Jingyi, who was in Gong Lin's arms. He spun in mid-air, avoiding the leg Yan Hu kicked at him.

As Xuan Long sounded the alarm, Gong Lin turned her head and saw a dagger flying at Ye Jingyi's head. It was too late to completely dodge it.

In desperation, Gong Lin stepped forward and met the dagger head on with her chest.

At that moment, the only thought in Gong Lin's mind was that Jing Yi was the most important woman in Jiang Chen's heart, and she absolutely must not be harmed!

Chi!

The dagger plunged straight into Gong Lin's heart, hilt-deep!

"Miss Gong!"

Xuan Long and the other were shaken to the core, their faces turning deathly pale.

Jiang Chen had entrusted the villa to them, yet they had let Jiang Chen's woman be nearly abducted and another stabbed in the heart, a sense of shame overwhelming them.

"Ah!"

"I will kill you!"

Both Xuan Long and the other bellowed out, attacking the viper savagely.

The viper immediately felt the pressure. As an assassin, he never engaged in direct confrontation; even if he did, it was a hit-and-run. Now faced with two crazed warriors at the Heavenly Level peak, who abandoned all defense for an all-out attack, he was decidedly outmatched.

"Shit!" The viper cursed angrily, and while shifting his position, he moved toward the window. Xuan Long and his comrade attacked relentlessly, their eyes bloodshot, fully prepared to die as long as they took the viper down with them!

"Ha!"

Seizing a moment while the viper shifted, Xuan Long breathed out sharply, a mysterious force rising within him, making his movements swifter. He struck brutally with a palm towards the viper's chest.

At the door, just as the two guards had managed to help Gong Lin out of the room, they felt a powerful authority. Their bodies involuntarily lurched forward. Luckily, the guards reacted quickly, pulling Shen Xiaoqin and Ye Yuwan away from the doorway. With a twist, they shielded Gong Lin in their arms and fell to the ground.

"Semi Innate?!" The viper's face showed terror. He hadn't expected Xuan Long to make a breakthrough right in the heat of battle, reaching the realm of a Semi Grandmaster!

Glancing at Yan Hu, the viper was startled once again; Yan Hu also seemed to be on the verge of a breakthrough. Gritting his teeth and bracing his chest, the viper met Xuan Long's palm head-on, knowing that if he didn't leave now, he might not be able to leave at all!

Bang!

Crack!

Gurgle!

With a dull thud, who knows how many of the viper's ribs were broken. He spat out a mouthful of blood, which sprayed directly onto Xuan Long's face. His body was flung backwards by the force of Xuan Long's palm.

Crash!

The window shattered as the viper collided with it. Using the momentum, his figure flashed, disappearing into the night outside.

"Catch him!" A guard's roar echoed from outside; both Xuan Long and his comrade pursued through the window.

"Sister Gong Lin!"

"Lin Lin!"

The incident had occurred too swiftly, and only now did Shen Xiaoqin and Ye Yuwan come to their senses, rushing forward to embrace Gong Lin, their eyes already moist with tears.

"Jing Yi, Jing Yi, how is she?" Heart spilling blood, Gong Lin weakly asked.

Ye Yuwan glanced at Ye Jingyi, who was held by a guard, and shook her head towards Gong Lin, "Sister Jing Yi is fine, she's not hurt!"

"That's... that's good!" Gong Lin weakly smiled, her head drooping as she lost consciousness.

"Sister Gong Lin!" Ye Yuwan cried out, tears streaming down her face.
