Chapter 1686: Peerless Empress
From the moment the assassin appeared, it was destined that Ye Xuan’s return journey was a race against time; every extra moment of delay would only add an extra layer of danger!Ye Xuan demonstrated his superb high-speed driving skills.
However, the airport is always in the suburbs, and even at Ye Xuan’s speed, it would take some time to reach.
Half an hour passed.
The car arrived in the suburbs.
Chiba Sakurako said, "From here to the airport, there should be another twenty kilometers."
Ye Xuan nodded. At this speed, twenty kilometers wasn’t too far.
But at that moment.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Suddenly, the intense roar of engines erupted on the quiet, deserted suburban road, like ferocious beasts roaring.
Ye Xuan’s heart tightened, and he glanced at the rear-view mirror to see several cars speeding towards them in the distance!
Even separated by several hundred meters, Ye Xuan could feel their killing aura!
"Damn it..."
Ye Xuan tugged at his lips, feeling both a headache and helplessness.
Chiba Sakurako’s face paled: "Have they caught up?"
"After all, they’re world-class assassins; their response is naturally swift." Ye Xuan shrugged with a smile, "But it doesn’t matter much. As long as we’re in the car, they can’t catch us. We’ll find a chance to shake them off."
Just as he finished speaking, the smile on Ye Xuan’s face froze again.
"Damn!"
He couldn’t help but curse.
Chiba Sakurako was stunned, then discovered that besides the cars chasing them from behind, several car shadows were also rushing towards them from the front!
The car shadows lined up, completely blocking all their escape routes!
In such a situation, even with Ye Xuan’s driving skills, there was no way to escape unless their car grew wings!
Watching the car shadows approaching side by side, Chiba Sakurako’s face turned ashen, and her pupils shrank.
It seemed like the cars were about to collide.
Screech!
The hair-raising sound of braking echoed, and Chiba Sakurako felt the entire car spinning wildly for several turns before it came to a sudden stop.
The cars chasing them from front and back also stopped closely nearby, surrounding their lonely-looking car as tightly as possible.
The aura of death and murder invisibly enveloped the whole scene.
Ye Xuan looked at the smoking hood in front of him and laughed bitterly at Chiba Sakurako: "We’ve entered another dead-end."
Chiba Sakurako snapped back to her senses, also smiled bitterly and sighed: "Yes, perhaps it was all destined."
"Let’s get out of the car."
Ye Xuan tugged at his lips, his smile a bit unbearable: "At this point, there’s no retreat for either of us, we can only take down as many as we can."
"Yes! Take down as many as we can!"
Chiba Sakurako nodded heavily, her beautiful eyes burning with a fierce fighting spirit.
Samurai of the Northern Federation do not fear death!
Life’s ups and downs always catch people off guard.
Not long ago, Ye Xuan was elated at surviving, but now the Grim Reaper of Hell had come calling again.
A hellish life, nothing more to say!
Clack—
The car door opened, and Ye Xuan and Chiba Sakurako both got out of the car.
As their feet touched the ground.
A gust of wind blew.
The gentle wind lifted Chiba Sakurako’s thin bangs, revealing a forehead as white and smooth as jade, a stunning face that could bewitch anyone.
The wind also tousled Ye Xuan’s short hair, adding a hint of forlornness.
Back to back, they each harbored their sadness and helplessness, yet also their own passion and resilience, ready to face death as valiant heroes!
Ye Xuan gazed at the fierce figures emerging from the cars and slightly curled his lips, smiling as he spoke: "This time, I’ve dragged you into this."
"No." Chiba Sakurako looked at the assassins and shook her head, smiling softly, "I should be the one who’s dragged you into this. We both know if it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t be in this situation."
Ye Xuan smiled but said nothing more.
Chiba Sakurako also remained silent; she was never one to be sentimental. She knew that no matter how much guilt she felt towards Ye Xuan at this point, it wouldn’t change anything.
Things had come to this point; talking would do no good.
Whether in life or death, being able to die in battle with him might be a kind of blessing from the heavens?
Chiba Sakurako couldn’t help but smile.
Such a smile could ruin nations!
The aura of death and killing grew ever thicker.
All the assassins got out of the cars, numbering no less than thirty or forty!
Each one emanated the killing aura of a top assassin!
With such a formation, Ye Xuan and Chiba Sakurako undoubtedly had no way out. Even if it were only four or five, they would struggle to hold their own.
After all, Ye Xuan, having undergone surgery, was at his weakest point in life; frankly, he was almost a burden.
It’s rather ironic.
Not long ago, Chiba Sakurako was a burden to Ye Xuan, and today, Ye Xuan was a burden to the just-recovered Chiba Sakurako. Truly... when will this cycle of retribution end?
Lightly exhaling, Ye Xuan gazed calmly at the assassins and said, "Since it’s all set, let’s get started."
Chiba Sakurako quietly tightened her grip on the short blade in her hand, ready for battle.
The atmosphere plunged to freezing.
In the extreme silence.
Finally.
Whoosh!
The group of assassins suddenly sprang into action, brandishing blades as they charged towards Ye Xuan and Chiba Sakurako.
The sight of dozens surging like a wave was astounding!
The two lonely figures in the middle stood valiantly!
Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed tightly, and Chiba Sakurako clenched her teeth.
Seeing this, the two were about to fight bloodily, battling for pride, dignity, and belief, until the last drop of blood drained from their bodies, using up their last ounce of strength.
But at that moment.
Shua!
A chilling sound cutting through the wind echoed.
An extremely graceful figure appeared beside Ye Xuan and Chiba Sakurako.
The two were astounded.
The assassins were also taken aback.
Countless eyes gathered, seeing this woman with a peerless youthful face, wearing a tight leather outfit, her figure mature and voluptuous, black hair cascading as her sword wielded a justice capable of cutting through all evil!
One person, one sword, like an invincible War Goddess, yet also like an untouchable and sacred Empress!
The presence of the Empress left people stunned!
"Ye Xiaoying?"
Especially Ye Xuan, seeing that familiar figure, he was somewhat dazed.
The assassins also quickly came to their senses.
"Kill!"
The fierce and harsh shout rang out, and the dozens of assassins resumed their charge, crazily converging on Ye Xuan’s position.
"Don’t move."
The sword-wielding Ye Xiaoying calmly said.
Two assassins rushed nearby.
Ye Xiaoying raised her jade-like hand.
The sword rose and fell!
Without a sound, without any flourish.
Yet, the two assassins’ figures suddenly froze, extreme shock and fear surfacing in their eyes.
Bloodlines appeared on their necks!
"This..."
Witnessing this, Ye Xuan, yet to recover from his earlier shock, was astounded once again.
