Chapter 481: Powerful Enemy Attacks_1

Ever since many people in the Imperial Capital’s Inner City came to recognize Yin Tian, life had become much easier for him, and not a single person troubled him all day long.

Night fell.

Su Qinwei and the other girls had already returned to their rooms to prepare for bed.

Yin Tian was still seated on the sofa, meditating.

It was at this moment that Yin Tian’s brow furrowed suddenly.

He opened his eyes, stood up without a word, and walked out of the villa.

Soon, he was outside the villa.

"Who goes there? Since you’ve come this far, why bother hiding?"

Yin Tian spoke indifferently.

Whoosh...

A gust of wind arose.

In the darkness, a figure stepped forward.

The person wasn’t tall, dressed in black nightwear with a black cloth covering the face, making it impossible to discern any features.

Yin Tian peered intently at the newcomer, uncertain of the individual’s identity.

He’d been meditating inside the house when he suddenly sensed an aura of murderous intent.

He could clearly feel that the malice was directed at him, which is why he chose to step out of the villa, to see who was troubling him.

After emerging from the darkness, the stranger had not hesitated for a moment.

The feet moved, charging directly toward Yin Tian.

When they were still over ten meters apart, the attacker reached into their clothes, and from within swiftly drew out not one but three throwing knives.

With a flick of the wrist, the three knives took flight in a pinwheel formation, hurtling rapidly towards Yin Tian’s chest.

Yin Tian, of course, wasn’t about to be wounded by such a basic attack.

His body lightly leapt up, spinning in mid-air before alighting gracefully on the ground.

As for the three throwing knives, they stuck firmly into the door behind him, burying right up to the handles!

Just as Yin Tian’s feet touched the ground, he heard a whooshing sound by his ear.

Quickly looking up, he saw a fist barreling towards his face.

Yin Tian swiftly dodged his head to the side, narrowly avoiding the punch.

He wasn’t one to remain passive while being continuously attacked.

As the attacker’s hand was still extended, he quickly reached out and firmly grasped their arm.

The opponent tried to jerk free but was utterly unable to pull their arm away.

Next, he heard a soft chuckle.

It was Yin Tian!

Seeing the person looking at him, Yin Tian instantly flashed a bright smile at the assailant.

The assailant’s heart lurched, a premonition of doom setting in.

Too bad.

It was already too late!

Yin Tian’s fist hammered down toward the assailant’s chest.

Despite the desire to dodge, the attacker’s arm was caught too firmly by Yin Tian to break free.

Thump!

The punch landed squarely on the assailant’s chest.

The assailant’s body shuddered, even hearing the sound of their own ribcage cracking.

"With such weak moves, you hoped to kill me?"

Yin Tian let out a cold snort, reached out his hand toward the attacker’s face, "Let me see who you are."

The opponent had evidently not expected to be so effortlessly overpowered by Yin Tian.

Just as Yin Tian’s hand was about to touch the mask, the assailant drew yet another dagger from their pocket and slashed at Yin Tian’s hand.

Yin Tian frowned slightly, quickly withdrawing his hand to avoid being cut.

But the assailant took advantage of the moment to back away quickly, creating a safe distance from Yin Tian.

Yin Tian didn’t pursue but stood in place, looking indifferently at the other party.

The assailant was gasping for breath, blood dripping continuously from below their chin.

Yin Tian’s face bore a mocking smile as he indifferently spoke, "Why are you not fighting anymore? Are you out of tricks already?"

The opponent glared at Yin Tian, took a deep breath, and then turned and fled without any hesitation.

Yin Tian was tempted to chase after the assailant to see who they were, but the escape was so swift that the assailant disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Yin Tian shook his head helplessly, then returned to the vicinity of the villa.

The person was undoubtedly a master!

Although Yin Tian had only exchanged a few moves with the attacker before stopping, he could ascertain that the individual was a master, and an impressive one at that!

If it hadn’t been for his whole day of cultivation yesterday, suppressing the assailant would not have been so straightforward!

And within the entire Imperial Capital, there were likely very few people with such skill.

Yin Tian returned to the couch, sat down, and his eyes twinkled.

The most probable suspect was the old man who had come with Xuanyuan Jianxue when he took on the challenge against the four great clans.

That old man had given him an unfathomable impression at that time.

If Yin Tian were to guess who was behind the assassination attempt earlier, that old man would definitely be at the top of his list!

However, without certainty, only upon encountering the old man again could he confirm whether his judgment was accurate.

"Ah well... let it be," Yin Tian yawned, stretching as his body emitted a series of sounds like popping beans.

"Whether it’s him or not, I’ll find out tomorrow."
