Chapter 1716 - 1717: Isn’t One Person Enough?
Chapter 1716 - 1717: Isn’t One Person Enough?
"Did you find it?" Ye Xuan asked."I found it," Snake Lord said softly, "It’s located twenty kilometers outside the northern suburb of this city, stationed in the headquarters of the Holy Mansion. There should be over a thousand of them!"
Ye Xuan frowned, "How strong are they?"
Snake Lord: "They are all top-tier assassins!"
Ye Xuan remained silent for a moment.
A few years ago, Ye Xuan had sensed that the world’s top assassins and elite mercenaries had been disappearing without a trace. Many thought they had made enough money to retire. In reality, they never retired; they were recruited by the Holy Mansion!
Regaining his senses, Ye Xuan asked, "Have you surveyed the terrain?"
"Everything is ready," Snake Lord replied, bowing his head, "I’ve drawn a map covering a ten-mile radius of the Holy Mansion base. Do you need to see it now?"
"No need, I trust you," Ye Xuan waved his hand.
Snake Lord was stunned, his eyes instantly moistening.
Ye Xuan turned to Chi Lian, "Have the brothers arrived?"
"They have," Chi Lian nodded, "Before we boarded the plane, they had already arrived in this city, just waiting for you, Black Emperor, to give the word."
"Good," Ye Xuan grinned, "Then let’s not waste any time, time is precious, immediately head to the northern suburb of this city to rendezvous."
"Yes!"
Chi Lian took out his phone to contact the hundreds of Divine Weapons in Purgatory.
This was the decisive battle.
The decisive battle between Ye Xuan and the Holy Mansion, and also the decisive battle between Purgatory and the Holy Mansion!
The hundreds of Divine Weapons in Purgatory could not be absent!
...
Half an hour later.
The dense forest in the northern suburb of the city was crowded!
These figures, both male and female, were of all kinds.
Some were breathtakingly beautiful, some were extraordinarily handsome, while others were bizarrely shaped, capable of scaring everyone away in an instant if thrown into a crowd.
But they all had one thing in common.
Killing aura!
The uniquely intense killing aura!
This aura, from the inside out, could only be possessed by those who had spent a long time in the life-and-death battlefield!
Any of these people, if randomly thrown into a modern metropolis, could easily become a hero of their time.
Take Hong Wu, for example; he was just a small figure doing odd jobs in Purgatory but became a local overlord after returning to the East Sea to retire!
These people were ten to a hundred times stronger than him!
These unruly individuals were now, in this dense forest, all behaving very obediently, quietly assembling and listening to a young man speak.
"The Holy Mansion base is divided into six areas, with two to three hundred people in each area. They are all top assassins and mercenaries who have been missing from the Dark World in recent years. Their overall combat strength is formidable.
We have fewer numbers, and if we engage in a direct confrontation, we will be at a disadvantage under their firepower suppression.
But our advantage is, this time they are in the open and we are in the dark. If we haven’t made a mistake, they probably still don’t know of our existence.
Therefore, we need to adopt a surprise attack strategy next.
The usual routine: Viper will lead one team, Ye Lang another, Xiong Shan another.
Kirin and the Witch are staying in Yan Country, so the squad they previously led will now be led by Ye Xiaoying and Sakurako.
Any questions?"
Ye Xuan methodically deployed the combat plan. It had been a long time since he had done this, yet resuming his old trade seemed to come effortlessly.
"Follow Black Emperor’s every command!"
The hundreds of Divine Weapons in Purgatory shouted in unison, "Purgatory, victory is certain!"
Ye Xuan waved his hand and frowned, "What’s with the show? Haven’t you fought a surprise attack before? Is this how you conduct a surprise attack so ostentatiously?"
Everyone scratched their heads awkwardly and laughed sheepishly.
Chi Lian teased, "Didn’t you say it, Black Emperor brother, that in Purgatory, we stand tall and proud; even if we launch a surprise attack, we have to do it with style!"
Ye Xuan was stunned, "Did I say that?"
"You did!"
Everyone nodded definitively.
Ye Xuan was speechless, holding his forehead with a wry smile, realizing he used to be quite wild, huh.
Indeed, women are like sandpaper, smoothing away all a man’s sharp edges. In less than a year, they had made Ye Xuan more modest.
Chiba Sakurako pursed her lips and said, "Ye brother, you’ve assigned us our tasks, but... what about yourself?"
"Me?" Ye Xuan pointed at himself, smiling, "Sakurako, you’re a master at wielding a blade, but you’re lacking in battle experience, aren’t you?"
Chiba Sakurako looked confused, "I don’t really understand, please enlighten me, Ye brother."
Before Ye Xuan could speak, Ye Xiaoying interjected, "The Holy Mansion will surely be defeated in this battle. Once the war horn sounds and they fall into disarray, they will undoubtedly attempt to flee. This loner likes to go with his sword to cut off their escape route."
Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows, "Ye Xiaoying, you truly understand me, my old desk mate!"
Ye Xiaoying: "..."
Old desk mate, old desk mate!
Go to hell, you jerk!
Chiba Sakurako’s face changed, "Cut off the Holy Mansion’s escape route? By yourself?"
Ye Xuan shrugged, "Just me, isn’t that enough?"
His casual words brimmed with immense confidence and arrogance?!
Chiba Sakurako suddenly found herself speechless.
Only then did she realize her worry was somewhat unnecessary.
Nowadays, even bullets full of penetration power could only graze Ye Xuan’s skin. What opponent in the world could match his strength?
Even if the enemy had thousands of troops, what fear would he have alone?!
Chiba Sakurako’s face flushed, as she meekly reminded, "Well... be careful, Ye brother."
Many people looked at Chiba Sakurako with strange expressions.
This gorgeous beauty seemed unfamiliar, why was it that the longer Black Emperor boss stayed in Yan Country, the more women he had around him?
Romantic affairs, intoxication... Boss, you’ve changed!
Ye Xuan also smiled faintly, "Don’t worry about me. Instead, ensure your own safety first. If complications arise during your mission, take the brothers and run. The battlefield changes rapidly; staying alive is the most important."
Chiba Sakurako was stunned, then nodded heavily, "Yes!"
At this moment, her heart was incomparably warm.
Sure, Chiba Sakurako lacked initiative, but she wasn’t a fool.
How could she not know that if she retreated and led the Divine Weapons of Purgatory away, this operation to eliminate the Holy Mansion would be a complete waste, all previous efforts in vain?
But even so, Ye Xuan still prioritized her safety.
In his eyes, perhaps nothing was more important than human life. He was ruthless and cold, but how many knew of the softness and warmth behind his ruthlessness?
People like him seemed like fantasies, nonexistent in this world!
"If only my father hadn’t died by his sword..." Chiba Sakurako thought with a slight tremble in her heart.
"You all be safe as well," Ye Xuan said as he looked at the others, sighing softly, "Over the years, too many of our brothers have died. I don’t want to send off another brother after this battle."
"Yes!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
Ye Xuan nodded, "If there are no other questions, let’s begin the operation now."
