Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 260 Asura

Gang-breaking Needles were a type of hidden weapon forged from a special metal, and they could easily penetrate the defenses of Inner Strength. When coated in poison, they were even more terrifyingly lethal!

Clearly, these individuals were professional assassins, and every move was a killing blow!

Two short swords appeared in Ye Hongyi’s hands. She swung them swiftly, blocking many of the Silver Needles, while the rest continued their path toward her and Chen Xiao.

"Get down!" Ye Hongyi shouted, rolling across the floor just as the Silver Needles grazed past her body.

Chen Xiao leaped into the air, dodging the deadly assault.

The assassin disguised as a guest was a man; though lean, he was exceptionally fast. Just as Chen Xiao dodged, he felt an intense killing intent rush toward him. He looked up to see the assassin’s dagger already slashing at his neck!

Chen Xiao instinctively snapped his head back, narrowly avoiding the blade.

However, the other two assassins immediately lunged at him. All three were at the late-stage Hua Realm, making them incredibly powerful. Their attacks were relentlessly lethal, honed through countless battles, and even Chen Xiao could not afford to be careless. He moved like a dragon, weaving between the three assassins while preparing a killing blow of his own.

The intense battle wreaked havoc on the venue, and all the guests scrambled to get away from the fight.

Luo Qingli’s and Zhang Yaqing’s hearts were in their throats. Luo Qingli, in particular, trembled slightly. Although she knew Chen Xiao was strong, she could see just how perilous the situation was. Zhang Yaqing squeezed her hand, silently urging her to calm down and trust Chen Xiao.

Ye Hongyi and Lu Wushuang had already moved to the side. They trusted Chen Xiao’s abilities and knew that if they interfered now, they would only throw him off.

Chen Xiao’s gaze was ice-cold. Although his three opponents were formidable, their cultivation level was lower than his. He searched for an opportunity to take them out one by one. After several exchanges, he finally found an opening!

CRACK—

In the next instant, he ruthlessly drove his fingers through one of the assassin’s throats, killing him without a hint of mercy before flinging the corpse at the other two.

RIP! RIP!

The corpse was torn to shreds by the two remaining assassins’ attacks. Blood splattered everywhere, creating an extremely gruesome scene.

At the same time, Chen Xiao let out a thunderous roar and burst through the mangled remains of the corpse, a dagger now held firmly in his hand. The two assassins paled in terror and tried to dodge, but Chen Xiao felt no pressure at all in a two-on-one fight.

He dispatched the female assassin with ease, slitting her throat with one clean stroke.

Seeing this, the last assassin abandoned the fight. He turned and bolted, trying to escape through a window. Just then, Ye Hongyi, who had been lying in wait, shot out like a bolt of lightning! Her sudden attack blocked the assassin’s escape route.

The assassin rolled across the ground a few times. When he looked up again, Chen Xiao was already standing before him, his presence striking terror into his heart. Before he could react, Chen Xiao had already slit his throat.

His body fell rigidly to the ground.

The entire venue was enveloped by the pungent smell of blood.

With a grim expression, Chen Xiao walked over and tore the mask from the dead man’s face. "Just as I thought. A disguise."

"That person looks like a member of the Sima family from Jinnan! To think he was an assassin in disguise!"

"I can’t believe he was hidden so deeply!"

A chill ran down the spines of the other guests. If these assassins had targeted them, they would have been utterly defenseless. It was not hard to imagine their fate.

His face dark, Chen Xiao strode toward Lu Rugao. Lu Rugao’s pretty face turned deathly pale, but she forced herself to remain calm.

"Chen Xiao, what are you doing?!" Jin Zilong slammed his hands on the table and shot to his feet. "Don’t get too arrogant, Chen Xiao!"

The next second, Chen Xiao’s large, well-defined hand clamped around Lu Rugao’s fair neck. A suffocating sensation instantly overwhelmed her.

Jin Zilong roared, launching himself from his seat and striking at Chen Xiao with his palm.

Expressionless, Chen Xiao countered with a palm strike of his own. Jin Zilong was sent flying backward, smashing hard onto a table. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, unable to get back on his feet.

Chen Xiao coldly stared at Lu Rugao, who was struggling in his grip. "Explain yourself."

"I... What is there to explain?" Lu Rugao choked out. "Chen Xiao, if I wanted to kill you, I’d do it out in the open! Even if you kill me, I, Lu Rugao, will never admit to something I haven’t done!"

"This happened on your turf," Chen Xiao said coldly. "Are you daring to say it has nothing to do with you?"

"I’ll say it again! If I, Lu Rugao, wanted to kill you, I would do it openly and tear you limb from limb!" Though her face had turned purple from the lack of air, her eyes still flashed with defiance. "You idiot, it’s obvious someone is trying to frame me and muddy the waters! If I really wanted to make a move on you, I would have done it that day when Elder Li was present, and you would have had no way to escape!"

Hearing this, Chen Xiao’s eyes narrowed slightly. After a long moment, he finally released his grip.

Lu Rugao gasped desperately for air. She knew Chen Xiao had genuinely intended to kill her just now. This madman!

Chen Xiao’s icy gaze swept over the crowd. The once-arrogant guests fell deathly silent, all avoiding his cold stare. Expressionless, he walked over, picked up a napkin, and wiped the blood from his hands.

"If I find out who did this," his voice was dangerously low, "they’re dead."

Just now, if they hadn’t reacted quickly, they might have died here today. More importantly, Lu Wushuang and Ye Hongyi had been drawn into the fight.

"Chen Xiao!" Luo Qingli and Zhang Yaqing hurried over, their faces filled with concern as they looked at his hand, where fresh blood could be seen faintly oozing from his palm.

"Is your hand okay?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"I’m fine." Chen Xiao shook his head. "They weren’t a major threat to me." If not for the confined space, he would not have needed to waste so much time on them.

Meanwhile, Ye Hongyi and Lu Wushuang went to examine the bodies. Soon, their expressions turned grave. Ye Hongyi searched them and found a small tattoo on their left chests.

It was the image of a fearsome ghoul.

"This is the symbol of the Divine Land’s most mysterious assassin organization—Asura."

"These people were all in the late-stage Hua Realm, meaning they were at least super-experts of the Thirty-six Heavenly Gangs level within Asura."

Upon hearing the name ’Asura,’ the faces of everyone present changed. This assassin organization’s name was enough to strike fear into people’s hearts. They were not numerous, but every member was an expert among experts. The ranks, from lowest to highest, were the Seventy-two Earthly Fiends, the Thirty-six Heavenly Gangs, the Twelve Zodiacs, and the most mysterious of all, the Lord of Asura.

To be targeted by them was no different from being dead.

The crowd looked at Chen Xiao with a newfound pity. After all, once Asura accepts a mission, they never stop until the target is eliminated.

Of course, hiring an assassin of the Thirty-six Heavenly Gangs level was no simple matter. First, it required money. Hiring just one assassin of this level cost at least two hundred million, and three would cost a minimum of six hundred million.

Whoever paid that sum was definitely no ordinary person.
