Chapter 737: The night is truly beautiful tonight

"This shouldn't be..."

Given Qiao Jing Tian's strength, it was impossible for him not to notice if an outsider had entered his home.

He ran up the stairs to the second floor, continuing to grope his way through the darkness, checking the rooms one by one.

"Could this kid not be home?"

If the other party really wasn't here, wouldn't he be effectively running into a dead end?

"Qiao Jing Tian, are you here?"

After Xu Tian snuck into yet another empty room, he shouted into the hallway.

With such a loud commotion, even a pig would have woken up.

Sure enough, the moment his voice fell, he heard a sound from the room to his front left.

It seemed that must be the master bedroom.

Xu Tian didn't have time to overthink it; he rushed straight over. Fortunately, Qiao Jing Tian didn't have the habit of locking his door while sleeping. He burst in and headed straight for the bedside.

"Qiao Jing Tian, wake up!"

Inside the room, Qiao Jing Tian had already sat up from the bed and turned on the desk lamp on the nightstand.

His eyes held the weariness of not yet being fully awake and a flash of anger as he glared at Xu Tian standing at the door.

This kid wouldn't have morning grumpiness, would he...

But the current situation didn't allow Xu Tian to dwell on it. He ran to the bedside and spoke.

"Someone is coming to kill you!"

"What?" Perhaps because he wasn't fully awake, Qiao Jing Tian's mind stalled for a split second, but his eyes quickly regained their clarity, a cold glint flickering in their depths.

"I was out for a walk and happened to see a few sneaky figures, so I followed them here."

"These people were lurking outside your house, peering around, and they were carrying weapons. They must be assassins here to kill you, so I came upstairs to warn you."

Hearing the word "assassin," a flash of ferocity crossed Qiao Jing Tian's eyes.

"You say there are assassins coming to kill me?"

"That's right!" Xu Tian said with absolute certainty.

He and Qiao Jing Tian had only met twice; they couldn't even be considered casual friends. Breaking into someone's villa in the middle of the night to ask for help didn't seem appropriate, so Xu Tian had come up with this excuse.

Besides, assassins had gone to the wrong place before; Qiao Jing Tian wouldn't be suspicious if it happened one more time.

"Then how did you see them?" Qiao Jing Tian asked, frowning.

"I was out for a walk..." Xu Tian knew this reason was a bit flimsy, but at this hour, he couldn't think of a more reasonable explanation.

He couldn't very well say he came here specifically to find him.

"Oh, I live in this neighborhood, remember?" Xu Tian added.

"Hmm."

Looking at Qiao Jing Tian's expression, Xu Tian knew he must have forgotten.

"It's lucky I went out for a walk, encountered those people, and ran over to warn you in advance, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what? You think I can't even handle a few assassins?" Qiao Jing Tian raised an eyebrow.

"No... no..." Xu Tian groaned inwardly.

Qiao Jing Tian with morning grumpiness didn't seem easy to talk to. If he insisted on digging deeper, would this excuse fall apart?

Fortunately, those dedicated assassins didn't give Qiao Jing Tian a chance to get to the bottom of it; they quickly rushed to the second floor and arrived at the door of Qiao Jing Tian's bedroom.

After all, Qiao Jing Tian's windows didn't have glass yet; it was too easy for them to get in.

"Those are the ones who want to kill you," Xu Tian said as he saw the assassins rush in.

A cold glint flashed in Qiao Jing Tian's eyes, and his emotionless, icy gaze fell upon the assassins.

A cold glint flashed in Qiao Jing Tian's eyes, his temperatureless, icy gaze falling upon those assassins.

The assassins had originally intended to kill Xu Tian, so they were caught off guard when another man appeared in the bedroom.

This man had long hair reaching his waist and features as delicate as a woman's, but his aura was as cold and sharp as an Asura.

"Are you with that brat?" the lead assassin barked sharply.

These assassins had never seen Qiao Jing Tian before, so naturally, they didn't know that the beautiful man they had just woken up was the "sissy" who made the underworld tremble with fear.

"So noisy." Qiao Jing Tian frowned slightly, and the next second, Xu Tian saw that the large bed in the bedroom was empty.

A figure appeared before the assassins in an instant, grabbed the assassin standing at the very front, and threw him straight out of the window with a backhand motion.

"Bang!"

The sound of glass hitting the ground pierced the eardrums of everyone present.

Even Xu Tian, who knew Qiao Jing Tian's identity, was deeply shocked.

That assassin was 1.8 meters tall and weighed at least 200 jin, yet Qiao Jing Tian had thrown him out without the slightest effort.

The other assassins were horrified, but they were on a mission and could not retreat.

"Get out of the way! We are only here to kill him, don't be a busybody!"

"And if I don't?" Qiao Jing Tian was expressionless, his tone indifferent.

"It seems he really is his accomplice! Kill him too, then

go back to report!" The assassins exchanged glances and swarmed toward Qiao Jing Tian.

This man was just a bit stronger; if it really came to a fight, he might not be their match.

Besides, no matter how strong he was, two fists couldn't beat four hands; surely so many of them could deal with just one man?

Sounds of fighting erupted in the bedroom—or more accurately, a one-sided slaughter.

Xu Tian watched helplessly as a vicious-looking assassin swung a longsword at Qiao Jing Tian, only to have his neck snapped by Qiao Jing Tian without any effort at all.

Within ten minutes, over a dozen assassins lay on the ground, their deaths miserable, with not a single one spared.

Cold sweat seeped down Xu Tian's spine.

He knew Qiao Jing Tian was strong, but he hadn't expected him to be strong to the point of being almost monstrous.

Just how suicidal was the Wolf King to offend this god of slaughter?

Although Xu Tian wasn't sure what rank these assassins held on Wuji Island, if they were placed in any other country in the world, they would undoubtedly be top-tier experts, the kind you couldn't easily hire.

Yet, in Qiao Jing Tian's hands, they were like ants with no power to truss a chicken, completely unable to put up a fight.

"Help me replace the bedroom window too." Qiao Jing Tian looked at the drafty window and asked with a deadpan face, "When will your people arrive?"

"First thing tomorrow morning!" Xu Tian jumped, answering hurriedly.

"Fine, install bulletproof glass. I don't like being woken up by these people all the time."

Xu Tian felt ashamed.

With your skills, even if you installed diamond glass, it would be useless.

He finally understood how the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window in the first-floor living room had shattered; it turned out Qiao Jing Tian had thrown someone straight through it.

But it was fortunate that this window lacked glass, otherwise, he would have been the one dead tonight.

Xu Tian pondered for a moment; to prevent such crises in the future, he decided that when he had Zhong Ling come over to install the glass, he would quietly have her duplicate a key to the villa's main gate, just in case.

"You aren't out for a stroll, why aren't you leaving yet?" Qiao Jing Tian saw Xu Tian standing blankly by his bed, a flash of displeasure in his eyes.

The expression seemed to say that Xu Tian, who had disturbed his sleep, could be added to his death list at any time.

"I'm leaving right now! The night view is really nice tonight..." Xu Tian dropped a sentence and immediately fled Qiao Jing Tian's bedroom.
