Chapter 51 - Assassins

Long Bufan looked at the three black-robed men warily, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he said, "If you guys are here to rob us, then I'm very sorry. We might be poorer than you guys now."

"You are Long Bufan?" The leading black clothed man in the middle looked at Long Bufan and asked coldly.

Long Bufan's body trembled slightly as he thought, how did this black clothed man know his name? He looked at them with doubt and asked, "Who are you?"

"You don't need to know. Just tell me, yes or no." The black clothed man spoke coldly once again, his tone not containing any emotion.

"You don't need to know." Seeing that the other party was not friendly, Long Bufan frowned. From the aura the three of them were emitting, they were roughly all at the Sky Origin Stage. The leader of the three, the man in black, was slightly stronger, having reached the level of Heavenly Yuan Late Stage.

"It doesn't matter if you don't answer. My job habit is to confirm my identity before killing anyone."

A trace of a cruel smile flashed across the face of the man in black. His eyes were full of murderous intent as he said in a cold voice, "Someone wants your life, they want your money, they want you to help them out!"

Hearing these words, the faces of Long Yunfei, Lin Yan and Lei Meng all darkened, and their right hands reached for the weapon at their waists. They were already at the early stage of the Sky Origin Stage. They didn't show any fear when facing these three assassins.

Amongst these people, only Long Bufan's cultivation was the lowest. Compared to them, the strength of the Natal Opening Realm was like a little sheep among a group of tigers.

"Attack!"

Just as he finished speaking, the two black clothed men on the left and right of him moved, quickly jumping towards Long Bufan.

For a Sky Origin Stage cultivator, five meters was just an instant.

"So fast!" By the time Long Bufan reacted, the two black-clothed men were already in front of him. Their pince-like palms were pressed onto Long Bufan's left and right shoulders, firmly locking him in place, making it impossible for him to dodge.

The movements of the three people were completed in one go, and they cooperated with each other in an unfathomable manner. If Long Bufan was alone, their assassination plan would have been successful.

But it was different now, Lei Meng and the other two who were standing by the side had moved at the same time. Long Yunfei suddenly raised his right leg and kicked towards the black-clothed man who was holding onto Long Bufan's left shoulder. Lei Meng roared out, and like a raging bull, he charged towards the right side of the black-clothed man.

"Clank ~ ~ ~"

An ear-piercing sound of metal clashing resounded. Long Yunfei held onto a silver sword and blocked the black clothed man's sharp sword, and at the same time thrusted out a few times, forcing him to retreat.

As a member of the special forces in his previous life, Long Bufan had experienced countless of baptisms of gunfire. In the face of such a dangerous situation, the aura he displayed did not show the slightest trace of cowardice. He seized the opportunity and, under the shaking of his right arm, the gun that was hidden inside his sleeve fell into his palm and he immediately pulled the trigger.

"Bang ~ ~ ~"

The sound of air vibrating from the gunpowder explosion reverberated through the silent street. A metal bullet that was emitting fire shot into the black-clothed man's abdomen at a speed that could not be seen with the naked eye.

"Hidden weapons?!" The man in black was shocked. In the next second, he felt a scorching pain in his abdomen. Fresh blood quickly stained his clothes near the wound. He hurriedly pressed down on his abdomen in panic. The loss of blood had caused his body functions to rapidly deplete.

"Assassination failed, retreat!"

Seeing that his accomplice was injured, the leader of the men in black shouted and his expression changed. He immediately channeled his elemental energy to activate the shield.

Bang!

Another loud gunshot rang out, shocking the two men in black who wanted to retreat.

Long Bufan blew at the white smoke coming out from his gun. This shot deliberately did not hit them, because the two of them had already released a protective layer around their bodies, so normal bullets could not penetrate them. In order to preserve the fear of their guns, they deliberately emptied them.

"Do you want to abandon your comrades?!" Long Bufan said in a cold and detached voice, "As long as you tell us who your employer is, if you bring your comrades back, you might be able to be saved."

As assassins, they would never reveal the name of their employer. Originally, they thought that these few people were just a little brat, and their strength was not high at all, but they did not expect that there were actually three helpers who were on par with them. What made them even more depressed was that the target of the assassination actually had such a powerful hidden weapon, and he could not help but curse in his heart that the employer did not clearly explain the other party's strength.

"I won't say his name, I can only reveal one word to you, his surname is Yang."

The black-clothed man's voice was low as he said, "If you are not satisfied, then we will at most fight to the death!"

After finishing his sentence, he released all of his aura. Another man in black also took out a crescent moon blade. His sharp blade emitted a cold light.

"Yo, you're quite stubborn. Who are you trying to scare?" Lin Yan rolled up his sleeves. He, who was born in the General's Estate, was a man who loved to fight.

"Let them go, I know who it is." Long Bufan reached out to stop Lin Yan, and said: "They are only here to collect money."

Lin Yan, Long Yunfei and Lei Meng understood tacitly. These people were not the main culprits, there was no point in fighting them head on.

Upon seeing this, the two men in black immediately supported their injured comrades and left quickly.

"Brother Long, do you know who wanted to kill you?" Lin Yan asked curiously.

Long Bufan rubbed his nose, then laughed: "In the sect, who do you think is surnamed Yang who would want me to die, but is afraid to do it himself because of the sect rules?"

"Yang Feng!"

Lin Yan and the other two said at almost the same time.

Long Bufan nodded his head, his eyes narrowing slightly, revealing a cold aura that was similar to that of a wild beast. This was the first time he revealed his killing intent in this world, and since that person had already made his move, he could not sit still and wait for death.

Although Long Yunfei, Lei Meng and Lin Yan's cultivation were higher than Long Bufan's, but they were all intimidated by the cold killing intent, especially Lin Yan's heart, he was even more shocked. He had followed his father to visit the army once, and seen the soldiers who had killed countless of people on the battlefield, they all released a powerful aura when they fought, the more people they killed, the stronger their killing intent would be.

And right now, in Lin Yan's eyes, Long Bufan was just like a warrior who had experienced countless slaughters, causing people to feel fear. Compared to the Long Bufan who was laughing and playing with them, he was like a completely different person!
