Chapter 204: Chapter 121: Fierce Battle at Sea @@novelbin@@

Yan Fei had initially intended to take advantage of the woman in black’s unpreparedness to snatch Lu Pingping away, but to his shock, he not only got noticed by the woman in black, who launched a counterattack, but she also displayed terrifying strength, sending chills down Yan Fei’s spine. Although Yan Fei was ambushed by the woman in black, his reaction was swift. After a few somersaults in mid-air, he dodged the large-caliber pistol bullets, but once he landed, he realized he had unwittingly distanced himself even further from the woman in black during his dodging maneuvers.

Although Yan Fei’s strength had soared, allowing him to perfectly control his bodily movements, he still couldn’t resist the attack of large-caliber bullet warheads, which forced him to dodge when facing large-caliber firearms.

After the woman in black drew her pistol to attack Yan Fei, the men in black robes under the ship’s side agilely clambered up into the ship cabin, shielding the woman. Their bodies began to emit an atmosphere of extreme terror, transforming in an instant from ordinary unnoticeable individuals to incredibly fearsome beasts.

The black-robed men coordinated with each other, their imposing auras merging together and undergoing a qualitative change; it was as if a savage beast stood before them, ready to launch a fearsome attack on their enemy. Feeling this sky-high aura, Yan Fei was inwardly startled yet his fighting spirit surged. This would be the strongest opponent he would face after his increase in strength, and it was a good opportunity to test his combat power.

Meanwhile, Yan Fei attained a sudden clarity. The assassins from the Assassin Sect were indeed not simple; with hundreds of years of rich heritage, their assassination techniques had evolved into an art form. They knew how to conceal their presence to appear ordinary, develop techniques to make their enemies underestimate them deliberately, and then strike lethally when their foes were caught off-guard. Over the centuries, relying on this art, they had assassinated many powerful experts, earning a formidable reputation. He had underestimated them, almost falling into their trap due to his lack of experience.

However, Yan Fei wasn’t too anxious. They were in the ocean, vast and boundless, and no matter how fierce the assassins from the Assassin Sect were, they couldn’t escape from here. Under the assault of his own strength and the Drone Avatars, their demise was certain. The only concern now was how to safely retake Lu Pingping.

The assassins from the Assassin Sect also caught sight of Yan Fei standing in the darkness. When they saw the ghastly mask on his face, they too showed a solemn expression; this man with a ghost mask exerted a tremendous pressure on them, and together, they were unsure of defeating him.

Just then, Saliem from the cockpit joined the group of men in black robes with three of his subordinates, but their strength paled in comparison. After a quick exchange of glances, they turned and rushed into the ship cabin, providing cover for the woman in black who was carrying Lu Pingping.

Yan Fei was capable of using Drone Avatars to kill all the assassins, but he was concerned about Lu Pingping, who was still held hostage by the enemies. Therefore, he didn’t immediately use the martial force of the Drone Avatars but relied on his own strength to give chase instead. The moment he reclaimed Lu Pingping, he would unleash the full firepower of Drone Avatars and eliminate this terrifying group of professional assassins.

While the black-robed men were retreating into the ship cabin, covering each other, they still left some of their number behind to prevent Yan Fei’s pursuit. Yan Fei quickly followed them; his hearing was incredibly acute, catching every sound made by the people ahead and projecting their positions in his mind. With this ability, those in black robes had no chance of launching a surprise attack on him.

No sooner had Yan Fei chased them around a corridor corner than a flash of cold steel nearly caught him off-guard: a scimitar slashed at him from a tricky angle. But he had heard the attacker’s sound beforehand and knew their position and movements. Pretending to be unaware of the impending ambush, he waited for the attacker to make a move before swiftly sidestepping the scimitar’s slash. Then with a flick of his fingers, he shot several steel ball bullets, hitting the assailant in the forehead. The man in black fell without making a sound—dead on the spot.

The killed man in the black robe was the new assassin Yiben, who actually wasn’t lacking in strength, but he had underestimated Yan Fei’s capabilities. Hiding in the shadows to ambush Yan Fei, he didn’t realize Yan Fei had already detected him and played right into his trap. Pretending to fall for the sneak attack, Yan Fei suddenly struck back, killing Yiben in an instant before he could fully exert his strength, dying ignominiously without having shown his full potential.

Having dealt with this cannon fodder shoveled forward by the Assassin Sect, Yan Fei continued along the corridor and successively killed three more black-robed men. They all died frustrated, having been outmaneuvered and counter-killed by Yan Fei. These three black-robed men were the same ones who had been gambling with Yiben in the room, including the boat owner Saliem. Their limited strength made them easy targets for the black robes who pushed them forward as cannon fodder to stall Yan Fei’s advance, buying time for the woman in black to escape. They gave everything for their beliefs, including their lives, achieving martyrdom.

Yan Fei advanced once more, employing the same method to counter-kill three more black-robed men. Although these men were more formidable, they committed the same error; they all underestimated Yan Fei’s hearing. Therefore, their ambushes were not only ineffective but also led them straight into Yan Fei’s steel ball bullets, dying pitifully.
