Chapter 168

"Brat, you're asking for death!"

Seeing that Sato Kaede had actually run, the lead assassin let out an angry shout and waved his kunai as he chased after him.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Kunai after kunai tore through the long sky, shooting toward Sato Kaede.

Sato Kaede hurriedly activated the Spiritual Psion System, and a layer of red barrier surfaced.

"Clang clang clang!!" Kunai after kunai slammed into the barrier and were deflected away.

Sato Kaede glanced coldly at these people, then stomped his foot against the ground, and his body leaped up.

The next moment, Kuchiki Senya appeared behind Sato Kaede, and he threw a high roundhouse kick aimed at Sato Kaede's neck.

Sato Kaede tilted his head and dodged the high roundhouse kick.

Chenciji Society, Sato Kaede seized Kuchiki Senya's ankle and slammed him hard into the ground.

"Splat!" Kuchiki Senya immediately fell face-first into the mud.

"Bastard!" Kuchiki Senya scrambled up from the ground, fury overwhelming him, glaring at Sato Kaede through gritted teeth, wishing he could tear him apart.

"Stinky brat, you dare hit me! Today I will absolutely kill you." Kuchiki Senya roared madly.

"Whoosh!" Sato Kaede's figure swayed and vanished.

The next moment, he appeared at Kuchiki Senya's side and chopped down with a hand knife; Kuchiki Senya nimbly dodged and flashed to one side.

"You are the strongest opponent I've ever met in my life." Kuchiki Senya said with a dark face.

"Heh." Sato Kaede smiled contemptuously and did not Meiyouli Society Kuchiki Senya.

The reason he had been able to make the surprise attack succeeded earlier was entirely because the other party had been caught off guard, and Kuchiki Senya had not expected his movement technique to be so bizarre at all, which led to him successfully being surprise attacked.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, Sato Kaede activated Phantom Trace Steps once again, closing in on Kuchiki Senya.

Kuchiki Senya's physical fitness was considerably stronger than Sato Kaede's, but he still found it hard to resist the threat of Phantom Trace Steps; every time he prepared to dodge, Sato Kaede could always predict in advance and dodge first.

Kuchiki Senya's strength was indeed not weak; if placed in another city, he would definitely be a second stage professional.

130. Such Agile Reflexes

But unfortunately, what he ran into was a monster-level freak like Kuchiki Senya; in front of Kuchiki Senya, Kuchiki Senya simply could not display the strength he should have.

After Kuchiki Senya and Sato Kaede fought for about three minutes, in the end he was outnumbered and defeated, fleeing in defeat.

"Damn it, he actually got away!" The lead assassin cursed viciously, then instructed the surrounding assassins: "Let it go this time; he should already be injured."

On this side, Kuchiki Senya had escaped. If not for the fact that he was carrying injuries, he definitely would not have done something so cowardly, but there was no choice—he had already suffered heavy injuries during the previous fight.

Although his injuries are severe, they had not yet reached a fatal level.

"What should I do…" Kuchiki Senya muttered in a low voice.

He did not know where Sato Kaede's home was, let alone Sato Kaede's exact location.

Moreover, he did not know the way, so he could only search aimlessly.

"Hmm? What's this?"

Just then, Kuchiki Senya noticed a car not far away whose tire had burst, bringing the vehicle to a stop.

Kuchiki Senya narrowed his eyes slightly, then his figure flickered, and he stealthily crept near that car.

He carefully observed the surroundings, and after confirming no one was there, he took out a pitch-black pill and swallowed it.

A few seconds later, Kuchiki Senya's eyes turned a deep red, his muscles all over his body swelled up considerably, brimming with a sense of power, as if he could crush steel.

"Roar~~"

Kuchiki Senya roared toward the sky; his eyeballs became incomparably scarlet, his pupils vertical, looking utterly mad and bloodthirsty.

Then Kuchiki Senya stretched out his hand to point in a certain direction and said loudly: "That direction, move!"

Hearing Kuchiki Senya's words, the eight assassins followed behind Kuchiki Senya without hesitation, sprinting rapidly forward.

Sato Kaede was currently about five hundred meters from Kuchiki Senya. He was hidden in the grass, quietly awaiting Kuchiki Senya's arrival.

"Pew pew pew pew pew!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

Not long after, Kuchiki Senya led the eight assassins into the grass where Sato Kaede was hiding.

"Kill him!" Seeing Sato Kaede in the grass, the eight assassins shouted in unison, then raised their guns and fired at Sato Kaede.

"Pew pew pew pew!" Sato Kaede's spiritual power had long locked onto these assassins; his figure swayed, rapidly dodging the bullets, and in the blink of an eye he was circling around the eight assassins.

"Such agile reflexes." The eight assassins all froze for a moment, then continued firing their guns.

"Pew pew pew!"

While dodging the assassins' bullets, Sato Kaede released a fog toward the assassins.

Dense, extreme white smoke instantly spread across the entire area, blocking everyone's line of sight.

"This is bad, this smoke is poisonous!"

"Cough cough cough!"

"Quickly hold your breath! This is a poison gas bomb!"

……

A bout of violent coughing rang out.

Sato Kaede knew the assassins had already taken the bait, and immediately delivered a fierce flying kick at an assassin who was swaying unsteadily on the spot.

"Bang!"

Sato Kaede's foot viciously kicked this assassin's head, instantly knocking him unconscious to the ground.

The remaining seven people's faces changed drastically; they all covered their noses, continuously spewing out thick fog.

"Hmph!" Seeing this scene, Kuchiki Senya snorted coldly; he knew the assassins had taken the bait.

"Boom!!!"

Kuchiki Senya raised his hand and threw a punch through the air toward Sato Kaede. In an instant, a fist-force gale condensed to the extreme surged forth, slamming straight into Sato Kaede's chest.

Sato Kaede let out a muffled grunt and retreated several steps. At the same time, a stinging pain spread through every limb and bone of his body. He couldn't help but knit his brow—he hadn't expected that Kuchiki Senya alone, relying on his aura, could inflict such harm on him.

"You bunch of trash—is that all you've got?" Sato Kaede took several deep breaths, steadied himself, then swept a cold gaze over the eight assassins around him, his tone icy beyond compare.

What Sato Kaede had just used was precisely the secret sword technique of the *Sword Control Art*.

"Stop wasting words on him. Take him out." one assassin said coldly.

"Got it." the other assassins nodded.

So the seven of them fired at Sato Kaede in unison.

Sato Kaede's eyes were ice-cold. He crossed his arms to shield the vital points of his body, then gave a sudden violent fling toward the assassins around him.

In an instant, sixteen sharp daggers flew from his hands, and fresh blood dyed the ground red in the blink of an eye.

"Ting~~~" "Ting~~~" "Ting~~~"

A burst of crisp clanging rang out from Kuchiki Senya's body.

"What is that?" Kuchiki Senya's brows rose.

Kuchiki Senya was wearing a suit of armor with flowing blue light; it was precisely this layer of armor that had blocked Sato Kaede's hidden weapons.

"Clang clang clang!" "Clang clang clang!"

Sato Kaede was slightly surprised at the sight—he hadn't expected Kuchiki Senya to have armor for protection—so he quickly tossed out a smoke bomb.

"Whoosh!" A sound of tearing through the air abruptly rang out, followed by a flash of silver light that vanished in an instant, then plunged straight into a seam of the armor on Kuchiki Senya's chest.

Kuchiki Senya's face changed drastically. He hastily extended two fingers, pinched the silver needle, and swiftly pulled it out.

The silver needle's length and hardness exceeded all imagination. Kuchiki Senya exerted the strength of nine oxen and two tigers before he could finally extract the silver needle from the seam of the armor.

"．¨ Hiss~~"

At the same time, a highly corrosive toxic fog also enveloped Kuchiki Senya, eating away at the armor on his body.

Kuchiki Senya's armor was extremely tough; the toxic fog could only corrode the surface layer, and its corrosiveness was not that strong. Still, Kuchiki Senya relied on the faint blue arcs of electricity emitted by the armor to isolate the toxin.

"Puchi!" Kuchiki Senya spat out a mouthful of black, stagnant blood. His face was ghastly pale, his breath listless—clearly the fierce battle just now had already drained a great deal of his strength.

At this moment, Kuchiki Senya finally caught sight of Sato Kaede's existence.

"Who are you?" Kuchiki Senya stared at Sato Kaede and asked.

"Heh~~ Didn't expect you to be this strong." Sato Kaede chuckled lightly, slowly walked out (Li Dezhao), and said casually to Kuchiki Senya.

"I'm very tired right now, so I'll give you two choices. One, obediently surrender; two, die!" Kuchiki Senya looked at Sato Kaede and said in a heavy voice.

"Heh, didn't think I'd still run into someone as arrogant and conceited as you. Since that's the case, then you can go die!" Sato Kaede heard this, a trace of mockery showing on his face, then said to Kuchiki Senya.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Sato Kaede flicked his wrist, and eighteen smoke bombs came flying again.

"Petty tricks—Go, Feather!"

A cruel smile curled at the corner of Kuchiki Senya's mouth. Gripping a long blade in one hand, he slashed several times through the air toward Sato Kaede.
