BXBX NOVEL Chapter 285 - 285: I’ll Be Waiting For Him
Whoosh!
Countless sword shadows wrapped around his body, and it felt as if he was being stared at by the Grim Reaper. If those sword shadows touched him, he would definitely die. No matter how strong he was, he would not be able to escape!
“This is the Bloodthirsty Slash?”
Ye Chen’s eyes were filled with fear.
He had seen the old man using the sword in the Kunlun Mountains, but he had never seen such a strange and crazy thing!
Ye Chen stayed in his room for five whole hours, and he felt the killing intent in his mind fill his entire body.
He was elated.
Luo Yuntian and Chen Qingcang had given him a lot of information and knowledge, but much of it could not be used at his level.
The black-robed old man, on the other hand, did not give him anything. Instead, the old man taught his body to remember the sword moves instinctively by putting him through life-threatening situations.
It was as if the Bloodthirsty Slash had already fused into his body and become a part of him.
Ye Chen looked at the black-robed old man and asked, “Senior, how should 1 address you?”
The black-robed elder shook his head and said in a desolate tone, “There’s no need to know my name, as all traces of it have been erased by time and history. No one in the present world remembers my name.”
“Brat, you obtained the Samsara Graveyard, which gives you the qualifications to fight the heavens. However, this is also a form of restriction, as your fate is tied to all of ours here. If you succeed in rising up, the hundred of us here will have some hope of returning. If you fail, all of us will truly disappear from the world. Take care of yourself.”
“Alright, that’s enough for now. Someone is looking for you outside.”
When Ye Chen left the Samsara Graveyard, his body, which had been scarred and wounded multiple times by the black-robed old man, had miraculously been healed.
Was it all an illusion?
He held the black stone and gazed into the Samsara Graveyard. The black-robed old man had disappeared. However, this time, the tombstone did not shatter, which meant that the black-robed old man should still be around.
Ye Chen opened the door and saw Sun Yi and Xia Ruoxue standing outside. Their eyes were filled with suspicion.
“Little Chen, we called you dozens of times. Why didn’t you respond?” Sun Yi asked with her hands on her hips.
“We were considering breaking the door down!”
Xia Ruoxue looked around the room. There was no one else there.
The two of them had wondered if Ye Chen was hiding a woman in the house, but now it seemed that they were overthinking things.
Ye Chen scratched his head and explained, “I’ve been really tired these past few days, so I slept soundly in bed. I really didn’t hear anything.”
Xia Ruoxue smiled and said, “1 wanted to wait for you to have lunch together, but it’s already three in the afternoon. I’ll heat up the food for you. Wash up and then come down to eat.”
“Alright.”
After his late lunch, Ye Chen left the house to go next door to see how Rakshasa’s arm was doing.
As soon as he stepped out of the villa, he noticed something and said, “Lu Hanshuang, is Xuemei Palace having you monitor me now? You should know that I hate being monitored.”
“No, I’m here to tell you something important.”
Lu Hanshuang’s expression was solemn.”
“What is it?”
“The headquarters of Xuemei Palace intends to take action against you.”
Lu Hanshuang’s tone contained a tinge of fear.
After all, although none of the assassins of Jiangnan Province’s branch of Xuemei Palace could match Ye Chen, the same could not be said for the assassins from the headquarters.
“Didn’t Ling Feng say that he had withdrawn his pursuit of me?” Ye Chen asked.
“Ye Chen, things aren’t as simple as you think. This time, it’s someone from Capital City’s Xuemei Palace who specifically wants to deal with you. If I’m not wrong, the assassin has arrived in Jiangnan Province.”
Ye Chen ignored Lu Hanshuang and headed over to the villa next door.
Lu Hanshuang chased after him and said seriously, “It’s a serious matter! The one who will attack you this time is most likely the number one assassin from the headquarters! He has never failed a mission!”
“Ye Chen, can you stop acting like it’s no big deal? The person who could get him to act is definitely someone extraordinary. You’re in danger, so for the next few days, you should stay with the little girl who was with you at Nanqin Villa. Only she can save you.”
This was the result of Lu Hanshuang’s discussion with her father.
Ye Chen stopped in his tracks and said, “In that case, you might be disappointed to know that she left a long time ago.”
Lu Hanshuang’s expression changed drastically!
Without that expert, how could Ye Chen survive?
Given that assassin’s track record, he would definitely attack Ye Chen within three days!
Her palms were covered in sweat, and she subconsciously grabbed Ye Chen’s arm and said, “Ye Chen, before the assassin arrives, you should leave quickly. Go overseas or something. Take a ten-day vacation and bring Miss Sun and Miss Xia along.”
Ye Chen glanced at Lu Hanshuang’s hand and then stared into her eyes.
“Lu Hanshuang, I appreciate your kindness, but why should I leave? Since he’s coming, 1’11 just wait for him here. I’ve already given Xuemei Palace a chance, but they have chosen not to cherish it.”
“The assassin’s fate will be the same as every other person who has come for my life. He will die by my sword.”
Lu Hanshuang thought that Ye Chen had gone crazy!
How could Ye Chen survive when he was up against who everyone considered to be Huaxia’s number one assassin?
When that guy became an assassin, Ye Chen had not even been born!
Even though Ye Chen was now known as the number one expert in Jiangnan Province, he was no match for those experts from Capital City.
As the saying went, there would always be someone better. Did Ye Chen not know7 the meaning of the words prudence and wisdom?
Without that little girl protecting him, he was doomed for sure!
Damn it!
Lu Hanshuang knew Ye Chen’s personality. Once he made up his mind, no one could change it.
All she could do now was remind him. Now’ that she had done so, her mission was considered complete.
Lu Hanshuang looked at Ye Chen’s back as he entered the other villa and shook her head helplessly.
“You have no idea how vast the world outside. 1 think that this is your greatest weakness.”
“Ye Chen, I wanted to return the favor, but it looks like I won’t have the chance to in this lifetime.”
Lu Hanshuang’s figure then disappeared, leaving behind a whispered sigh.
Naturally, Ye Chen w^as not afraid of this assassin, even if it was the number one assassin from the headquarters of Xuemei Palace. Perhaps he might have been a little more w^ary before this, but the third tombstone had been activated. With the black-robed old man behind him, what was there to be afraid of?
Furthermore, he was itching to try out the Bloodthirsty Slash.. Whoever came for his life would lose their own!
