Chapter 128: Seven Kill Envoy Intervenes

[Ding, protagonist Su Xiaoyi’s master, the Hundred Herb Elder, dies without even getting to pass on his legacy. Su Xiaoyi’s protagonist halo -300! Host’s Fate Points +300, Ability Points +30!]

[Su Xiaoyi’s remaining protagonist halo: 400; Host’s current Fate Points: 1200, Ability Points: 30]

Hearing the system notification, Wang Haoran, after disposing of the body, chased after Su Xiaoyi.

Despite Su Xiaoyi’s desperate run, with the help of X-ray Vision and Shapeshift, Wang Haoran quickly caught up.

Wang Haoran landed a powerful kick to Su Xiaoyi’s back.

Though Su Xiaoyi flew uncontrollably forward, crashing into a tree, he surprisingly didn’t die.

Covered in blood, he still managed to stand and move painfully.

Now, due to the backlash from the Burst skill, Wang Haoran’s strength temporarily dropped to the Grandmaster’s early stage.

However, this was more than enough to deal with a severely injured mid-Hua Jin Su Xiaoyi.

Wang Haoran walked toward him, cautious, eyeing Su Xiaoyi’s remaining 400 protagonist halo, wary of unexpected events.

Su Xiaoyi, leaning against a tree, clutched his abdomen, watching Wang Haoran approach with a pained expression.

Realizing his master might already be dead, he grew fearful.

Just as Wang Haoran was about to reach Su Xiaoyi, suddenly.

“Bang—”

A gunshot.

A bullet landed between them.

Then, a figure in black, face covered, walked over from a distance.

“He’s my target. I must kill him myself.” The figure said in an indistinguishable voice to Wang Haoran.

Hearing this, Su Xiaoyi fell further into despair.

But Wang Haoran was thoroughly annoyed.

This figure was likely called by the protagonist halo to save Su Xiaoyi.

Kill him? Do you think I’d believe that? Saying you’ll kill him, but actually planning to save him.

And you’re aiming the gun at me!

It’s people like you who always hinder us villains.

If it were those verbose villains, fine, but some villains, despite their ruthless demeanor, plan to “kacha” and kill the protagonist.

And just then, people like you appear, saying things like “No one but me can kill him, I must heal him first and then kill him,” and then you save him.

A blatant rescue.

Even if that’s not the case, Wang Haoran couldn’t let someone else take the kill.

For Su Xiaoyi’s remaining protagonist halo and his goldfinger, Wang Haoran had to act personally.

Otherwise, he might have watched to see how this black-clad figure would kill Su Xiaoyi with a remaining 400 protagonist halo.

Seeing the gun, Wang Haoran snorted.

Let’s see who you are!

Zhuque: Female character, Seven Kill Envoy

Martial Strength: 480 (Peak Hua Jin)

Physique: 238

Mental Strength: 215

Trust: -5

“…”

Damn it, a Seven Kill Envoy not in S City hunting your kill god, but running to V City at night?

“Don’t move, let me kill him first. I’ll give you the body afterward!”

“No, I must kill him myself!”

Seeing Zhuque still aiming the gun, looking like she’d shoot if he moved, Wang Haoran got angry.

You want to kill Su Xiaoyi, then shoot him! Why are you pointing it at me?

Want to fight? Fine!

Wang Haoran suddenly teleported in front of Zhuque, snatching her gun and kicking her in the chest.

This girl, trying to hide her gender with wrapped cloth, now didn’t need to disguise anymore after being kicked flat.

Caught off guard, Zhuque flew back several meters, finally standing up shakily.

She felt terrible.

Her left chest was still tightly bound, but her right chest felt like it was caved in.

Rubbing it, realizing it was a mistake, Zhuque looked gravely at Wang Haoran.

She had underestimated him.

While sneaking around, she saw Su Xiaoyi being chased by a masked man.

As a Seven Kill Envoy, she adhered to the principle—”Seven Kill Hall has integrity. If we take an assassination job, we must kill the target ourselves!”

She assumed the masked man was also peak Hua Jin, so she dared to be tough.

But she encountered a tough opponent, not just a Grandmaster, but one who could teleport.

Without much talk, he launched a sneak attack, kicking her so hard she spat blood.

Zhuque abandoned thoughts of a hard fight.

She came to the country mainly to find Xiao Longchen, not to risk her life.

Seeing the masked man playing with the gun, seeming to hesitate on whom to kill first, Zhuque hurriedly shouted towards Su Xiaoyi.

No time to disguise her voice.

“You over there, if you want to live, run separately!”

Facing an eerie Grandmaster, fighting wasn’t an option. Running separately could buy more time.

With that, Zhuque used the Vermilion Bird Burning Blood Technique, boosting her strength to near Grandmaster level.

Watching the fight, looking for a chance to escape, Su Xiaoyi ignited his dantian, despite severe consequences, restoring his peak strength.

They fled in opposite directions with all their might.

Wang Haoran frowned.

He knew this assassin was here to save Su Xiaoyi!

Saying you’d kill him, but warning him to run before escaping!

Fine, I remember you!

Seven Kill Envoy, you’ll go to Xiao Longchen, right? I’ll wait in S City!

Now, Wang Haoran had to kill Su Xiaoyi first.

But seeing Zhuque use the same technique as Xiao Longchen, Wang Haoran found it intriguing.

When Xiao Longchen used it, he’d shout “Vermilion Bird Burning Blood, activate!” raising his strength without physical change.

But Zhuque used it silently, turning her hair blood-red instantly.

Wrapped tightly, but Wang Haoran saw clearly.

What an odd side effect.

Thinking this, Wang Haoran rushed toward Su Xiaoyi with full force.
