Puchi!
The dagger plunged into the chest of one of the assassins. He stiffened momentarily before collapsing to the ground.
"Not good! Someone's attacking us!"
They exclaimed in shock, quickly drawing their weapons and staring warily ahead.
Not far off, a tall figure approached. Yang Cheng's eyes were icy, exuding an aura of killing intent.
"Release Cheng Ruonan, and I'll spare your lives."
His voice was extremely cold, sending a shiver down their spines, raising every hair.
A subordinate checked the breath of the stabbed man and quickly reported, "Lord Gou Wen, he's not breathing."
Gou Wen ignored him, wiping the blood from his ear and glaring venomously at Yang Cheng, asking, "Who are you?"
"I'm the one you came to kill."
Yang Cheng's voice was calm, yet seeing the blood at the corner of Cheng Ruonan's mouth, his eyes grew even colder.
