Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO-Chapter 572: You Won’t Die a Good Death

After speaking, the palm-wielding assassin stared daggers at Xu Ke.

He desperately wanted to know how Xu Ke had managed to plant a bomb in the car, but he knew no one would answer that question.

So, after a few seconds of silence, he spoke again, his voice low. "The Qin Family, the Huang Family, the Wang Family... our Assassin's Alliance will remember this. You can expect our endless revenge!"

The palm-wielding assassin gritted his teeth as his aura erupted. For a moment, even the crackling flames nearby seemed to dim under the pressure. At that instant, despite his wretched, burnt appearance, everyone felt his formidable and unparalleled presence.

Even from several meters away, Bai Qian'er and Duan Zhuo'e felt their hearts tremble. This was the psychological oppression of absolute power. It sent a chill down the spine.

An Innate expert at the Great Perfection realm was most terrifying in this state. He possessed the power of rage yet still maintained his rationality. Even Tang Yingchang, who had been dominating the fight just moments ago, couldn't help but feel his expression turn grave, his gaze darkening slightly.

But a single sentence from Xu Ke shattered the heavy pressure.

"Stop wasting your breath. You're not even wearing clothes, so what's with the tough-guy act? Get him!"

Xu Ke couldn't care less who he had offended. With one line, he shattered the oppressive aura his opponent had built.

At these words, the palm-wielding assassin flew into a rage. "You're courting death!"

"Charge!" Xu Ke roared.

The Yin and Yang Elders shot forward like arrows loosed from a bowstring. They hadn't wanted to take things this far. But first, they had been threatened with poison by Xu Ke, and second, the Assassin's Alliance had already marked their Qin Family. Now that things had come to this, they no longer had a choice.

"You two worthless sonic-users dare to block me?!" the palm-wielding assassin roared, the icy killing intent on his charred face impossible to conceal.

True Qi surged within him, and he unleashed a palm strike through the air. The True Qi shot out like a spinning power drill, its force visibly distorting the air into rippling waves. He was using his full power.

"ROAR!"

Going all out, the Yin and Yang Elders wasted no time on words. They mimicked the roar of a tiger, unleashing a sound wave that crashed down like an overwhelming tidal wave.

The assassin's long-range attack was neutralized, but he immediately followed up with two palm strikes, aiming directly at both of their heads. He intended to attack them simultaneously.

Enraged, the Yin and Yang Elders shouted in unison, "Arrogant!"

"Two late-stage wastes dare to call me arrogant?" The palm-wielding assassin didn't give them a shred of respect.

BANG—

The three of them clashed palms.

"Hmph..."

The Yin and Yang Elders' faces immediately went pale as they fell into a disadvantage. The palm-wielding assassin, however, hadn't fared much better. He staggered back two steps.

Seeing this, Xu Ke breathed a sigh of relief. The Yin and Yang Elders could still hold him off for a while.

Xu Ke looked at Shi Hongda. "Go!"

Shi Hongda immediately rushed out, heading straight for the Military Spike Assassin. Tang Yingchang, without a word, locked his focus on the other assassin.

The Military Spike Assassin's expression turned grim. He looked at the heavily scarred assassin nearby. "Cultivator Qi, be careful. Brother Wang will come for you after he deals with those two old men."

"I'll hold off Tang Yingchang for you," he added.

He could see that Shi Hongda and the Yin and Yang Elders were deliberately splitting them up. They wanted to isolate and kill the weaker of the three, Cultivator Qi, first. Therefore, he had to intercept Tang Yingchang to prevent him from reaching his target. Once the palm-wielding assassin finished off the Yin and Yang Elders, he could come and help finish Shi Hongda.

They firmly believed that Xu Ke's group, in their current state, couldn't possibly defeat them. All they had to do was stall for time.

"No problem!" Cultivator Qi nodded slightly, his face pale.

He had been hit the hardest by the explosion. There wasn't a good piece of flesh left on his body, and he had sustained injuries almost everywhere. But faced with this situation, he could only grit his teeth and endure.

The next moment, the Military Spike Assassin charged forward, forcibly intercepting Tang Yingchang.

Cultivator Qi, Xu Ke thought, his heart stirring at the name. So this is the assassin ranked ninth on the list, just one spot ahead of the Ghost and Poison Elders? No wonder he's so much weaker than the other two...

"You should be facing your old rival," Tang Yingchang said as his advance was blocked, immediately engaging the Military Spike Assassin.

The Military Spike Assassin remained silent, clashing with Tang Yingchang in close-quarters combat. Although he wasn't as strong as Tang Yingchang, his preemptive strike prevented him from being suppressed as utterly as the palm-wielding assassin had been.

Meanwhile, Shi Hongda was tangled up with Cultivator Qi, a displeased look on his face. Given Cultivator Qi's condition, he wasn't afraid of losing. But Xu Ke had ordered them to capture all three assassins. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

How could I possibly accomplish that? he thought. Never mind anything else, even with Cultivator Qi being beaten back, I couldn't stop him if he decided to commit suicide right now...

"Shi Hongda, are you sure you want to make an enemy of the Assassin's Alliance to the bitter end?" Cultivator Qi gasped, struggling to breathe under Shi Hongda's assault. He took another blow and spoke with venom in his voice.

"This isn't what my Huang Family wants. Xu Ke is forcing our hand," Shi Hongda replied, landing a kick while effortlessly blocking Cultivator Qi's punch.

"Let me go now, and I guarantee the Assassin's Alliance won't hold you responsible. Otherwise, I'll burn my True Qi, and you won't get away unscathed," Cultivator Qi panted, more and more blood oozing from his wounds.

Hearing this, a flicker of indecision crossed Shi Hongda's face. His movements quietly slowed, and he even had the presence of mind to glance over at Tang Yingchang's fight. Clearly, while he didn't want Xu Ke to withhold the antidote, he also had no real desire to kill Cultivator Qi and completely enrage the Assassin's Alliance.

Cultivator Qi's heart leaped with joy when he saw this. As long as Shi Hongda eased his assault, he could hold out until Han Wang came to save him. Han Wang was the nickname of the palm-wielding assassin.

Han Wang and the Military Spike Assassin, both extremely sensitive to the flow of battle, naturally noticed this development. A flicker of joy entered their hearts. Thankfully, the Huang Family isn't wholeheartedly with Xu Ke. We still have a chance.

But Xu Ke's lips merely curved into a slight smile.

My plan was never to capture all three alive, as I said. My real plan is to kill one, then use our superior numbers to capture the other two. That's why I wanted Tang Yingchang to deal with Cultivator Qi. Instead, Shi Hongda, who doesn't want to make an enemy of the Alliance, ended up facing him. But just because he doesn't want to make an enemy, does that mean he can avoid it?

Seeing Shi Hongda's attacks grow slower and Cultivator Qi's movements become equally perfunctory, Xu Ke sneered. I should even thank Shi Hongda for helping lower Cultivator Qi's guard for me.

BOOM.

Shi Hongda and Cultivator Qi exchanged another blow, and Cultivator Qi was forced back again.

Just at that moment, on the other side of the battlefield, "Ah...!"

Zhuge Changyang could no longer hold on. He was struck by Han Wang's palm and went staggering backward.

Seeing this, Han Wang whipped his head around, a ferocious grin spreading across his face. "Now you're all dead for sure!"

Cultivator Qi was overjoyed. He was saved!

But just then...

SNAP.

The sound of shattering glass rang out.

Cultivator Qi felt a sudden pain in his chest. He froze, then slowly looked down. A pool of yellow liquid was seeping into a wound on his chest, surrounded by scattered shards of broken glass.

A searing pain shot through him.

"AHHH...!" Cultivator Qi let out an agonized scream.

Han Wang, who had been about to charge to the rescue, spun around sharply. He saw Poison Elder standing not far away, unleashing a volley of colorful poison darts from his hands.

"Poison Elder, may you die a horrible death!" he bellowed, his eyes practically bursting with rage.
