Chapter 1883 - 1462: Slaying the Legendary Assassin! (Part 3)
But... just as Asakura Ken was almost upon him, and Qin Fang's palm energy was shaking, ready to give Asakura Ken a strong blow, Asakura Ken suddenly changed direction, opting to circumvent Qin Fang from the side."Hmph, courting death!"
This unexpected move didn't bother Qin Fang, who assumed Asakura Ken intended to attack from the side. He simply twisted his body slightly and swung a palm through the air toward the oncoming Asakura Ken!
Poof~~
Though this was just a spontaneous strike without much added power, it was still terrifyingly strong. Even a grandmaster-level expert like Asakura Ken would try to dodge it, or else get injured.
But unexpectedly, Asakura Ken didn't dodge at all. He took the hit from Qin Fang's palm, grunted, and used the force of the impact to shift rapidly in another direction...
In fact, Asakura Ken even accelerated, charging forward!
"Huh~~"
Qin Fang was taken aback, his body slightly stiffened, surprised by Asakura Ken's intention.
"Idiot!"
Seeing Asakura Ken abandon him and sprint away, Qin Fang's face momentarily flickered with surprise, but quickly filled with sarcasm, letting out a soft snort.
Unfortunately, Asakura Ken didn't care to respond to him, swiftly bypassing Qin Fang and heading towards Qin Zi and Sakura, intending to attack them.
"This is bad..."
Witnessing this scene, Qin Fang and his companions immediately realized Asakura Ken's plan, and Ji Xiang's face drastically changed as he involuntarily exclaimed.
Not only Ji Xiang, but also Song Qingshan and Hattori Sanzo's expressions changed dramatically; they quickly adjusted their formation, charging directly at Asakura Ken in an attempt to stop his rampage.
However, Qin Zi and Sakura were the closest to Qin Fang, meaning that if Asakura Ken broke through Qin Fang's line of defense, the two women would be defenseless.
"Now you're reacting? Too late... ugh!!"
Seeing Ji Xiang and the others' reaction, Asakura Ken's pale face showed a bit of arrogance, but at the same time, he had to suppress his internal injuries.
The palm strike from Qin Fang had not been light, significantly affecting even a grandmaster-level expert like him, although he managed to temporarily suppress it.
"I must get out of here quickly, or else..."
Asakura Ken thought to himself, realizing this was not a place to linger. If he didn't leave soon, he might really be buried here...
"Don't come closer!"
Qin Zi and Sakura hadn't expected Asakura Ken to be so ruthless, willing to push through despite being injured just to capture them... However, at this moment, it was too late for them to escape.
With no choice, Qin Zi could only protect Sakura behind her, standing in front, looking like a valiant hero fiercely protecting her partner.
"Hmph... none of you are getting away?"
Seeing Qin Zi not fleeing but instead shielding Sakura, Asakura Ken was momentarily surprised but was unconcerned, not taking Qin Zi seriously at all.
Perhaps in his heart, he already considered the two women his captives...
After all, Qin Zi, although shielding Sakura, was trembling violently, clearly frightened, but trying to appear calm.
Qin Zi's obstruction was futile. Asakura Ken approached her directly, clasping Qin Zi's pale neck, while also seizing the defenseless Sakura.
"You better not act rashly, or... don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Asakura Ken, despite being badly injured, spoke with blood seeping from his mouth, clearly suffering from Qin Fang's palm strike.
But Asakura Ken seemed unbothered by this, thinking that compared to surviving, these injuries were insignificant and he could disregard them.
Ji Xiang and the others watched Qin Zi and Sakura being seized, their faces turning grim, halting their actions in hesitation.
After all, it was a significant embarrassment for them to have these two women captured under their protection...
"Old Qin, what do we do?"
Ji Xiang, his face unpleasant, turned to Qin Fang, seeking a plan.
"What do we do?"
Hearing Ji Xiang's question, Qin Fang's expression didn't change, he merely chuckled calmly and replied, "It's simple! Take action..."
"Uh..."
Ji Xiang and the others were puzzled, not understanding what Qin Fang meant, momentarily at a loss, even Asakura Ken was a bit confused.
But at that moment, Qin Zi, who was being held by Asakura Ken, suddenly displayed a peculiar expression, her previously lowered hand suddenly lifted, a silver flash passed by, quickly piercing Asakura Ken's chest!
"Sleeve Sword!"
It was Hattori Sanzo who suddenly exclaimed!
"Poof~~"
This sword thrust brutally hit Asakura Ken's heart, the blade tip piercing through, with blood gushing along the sword.
Bam~~
Simultaneously, Qin Zi delivered an unreserved palm strike to Asakura Ken, sending him flying away... His body hovered mid-air, appearing especially tragic.
Meanwhile, Ji Xiang, Song Qingshan, and Hattori Sanzo rushed over, seeing Asakura Ken flying through the air, they all unwaveringly attacked, using their strongest killer moves on him...
Bang bang clatter~~
In no time, Asakura Ken's badly wounded body couldn't respond, being ruthlessly pummeled like a sandbag by these three fierce men.
Bam~~
As Asakura Ken finally hit the ground, his life came to an end, leaving only his last words, "How... could this happen?"
Asakura Ken initially thought Qin Fang's biggest weakness was these two women, believing that by capturing them, he could successfully escape.
But to his death, he didn't realize that among Qin Fang's group, the strongest one wasn't any of the men who took action, but actually Qin Zi, the seemingly harmless little woman... (To be continued.
