Chapter 707 Assassination
"It’s getting late now, and you all have drunk so much. Let’s leave now!"
Xu Xiangbei took out his phone, glanced at the time, and looked helplessly at the women.
Xu Xiangbei never expected these women to be so wild. Usually, they embodied the image of gentle and dignified ladies, but when they gathered, they turned into complete madwomen.
Xiao Qiulian and her daughter had no idea how much they had drunk. Xiao Qiulian held a wine bottle in one hand and a KTV microphone in the other, unleashing her frightening singing voice. Even Gu Xinyan and Gu Xiangyi, who were usually very aloof and dignified beauties, were now blushing and revealing each other’s embarrassing childhood stories. Seeing this, Xu Xiangbei helplessly covered his forehead and thought he really shouldn’t let these people drink so recklessly in the future!
"Alright, we should head back now since we have to get up early tomorrow!"
Among them, it was Gu Xinyan, being the president of a large company, who even if she drank too much, wouldn’t get overly drunk. Having sobered up a bit, she spoke to Gu Xiangyi next to her.
"You two beauties, go pull up those two ’immortals’ over there; I’m not in a convenient position to do it."
Gu Xinyuan and Gu Xiangyi followed Xu Xiangbei’s finger and saw that Xiao Qiulian and her daughter were so drunk they didn’t know up from down, singing love songs to each other, making even Gu Xinyan feel extremely embarrassed!
...
"I’ve realized something now; I can never bring you guys here drinking again. It’s too terrifying!"
After a while, Gu Xinyan and Gu Xiangyi dragged Xiao Qiulian and her daughter out of Jinshang KTV. Since among the five of them, only Xu Xiangbei hadn’t drunk, he had to take on the role of the driver.
"Hehe, it was a rare chance for us to let loose. We usually don’t even get the opportunity to come here and drink!"
Gu Xinyan smiled awkwardly, feeling extremely embarrassed knowing Xu Xiangbei had seen her like this today!
"Hmm? No, there’s a murderous aura!"
Just as Xu Xiangbei was about to say something, every hair on his body stood on end as an extremely chilling aura rushed toward him!
"Stay in the car and don’t move; I’ll be back in a while!"
Under Gu Xinyan’s worried gaze, Xu Xiangbei didn’t say much, stepped out of the car, and quickly darted towards the side road!
"Sister, what happened to Brother Xu Xiangbei?"
Nearby, the tipsy Gu Xiangyi heard the commotion and asked Gu Xinyan curiously.
"Xu Xiangbei went to handle some things; he’ll be back soon. You just go back to sleep."
Gu Xinyan also sensed the extremely dangerous and unfamiliar aura but had no way to help, only silently praying in her heart for Xu Xiangbei’s safe return.

Elsewhere, after Xu Xiangbei got out of the car, he darted towards the side road at lightning speed, with that extremely chilling aura continuously locking onto him!
"Did the Sword Palace send you to kill me?"
Once Xu Xiangbei was sure that the fight wouldn’t affect Gu Xinyan and the others, he stopped and spoke to the masked swordsman in front of him.
The masked swordsman nodded, admitting this fact.
"Let’s see how capable Sword Palace’s assassins really are!"
A solemn expression appeared on Xu Xiangbei’s face. Sword Palace was a sect known for its mastery of the sword; all its disciples were top-notch swordsmen, skilled purely for the purpose of killing, and extremely decisive!
"Whoosh!"
Before Xu Xiangbei could get into a combat stance, Jumushanhe charged at him, sword in hand!
"Great swordsmanship!"
Seeing the dazzling silver light before him, Xu Xiangbei exclaimed, twisting sharply to the side!
Jumushanhe’s sword brushed past Xu Xiangbei’s body; it was just a hair’s breadth away from slicing him, leaving Xu Xiangbei both shocked by the close call and with a new understanding of the swordsman before him!
"Do you think I’m just some weakling? You underestimate me too much!"
Turning around, Inner Strength surged within Xu Xiangbei’s body, gathering towards his fist!
"Internal Boxing! Strike with all you’ve got! Let me show you my true power!"
Xu Xiangbei’s expression remained unchanged; his right hand clenched into a fist, Inner Strength continuously amassing at the fist. Suddenly, an incredibly fierce force burst from Xu Xiangbei’s body like a tidal wave, overwhelming in magnitude!
"Bang! Bang!"
Seeing such a terrifying attack, a look of fear appeared on Jumushanhe’s face; he dared not meet Xu Xiangbei’s strike head-on!
Xu Xiangbei’s punch struck the guardrail on the side of the highway, shattering it completely!
Swish! Swish!
Jumushanhe dared not be careless. After dodging Xu Xiangbei’s punch, he once again gathered his Sword Technique and charged towards Xu Xiangbei!
Boom! Boom!
In the ensuing battle, Xu Xiangbei and Jumushanhe exchanged blows back and forth. Jumushanhe’s Archery was sharp and deadly, but Xu Xiangbei’s Internal Boxing technique was formidable, breaking Jumushanhe’s reach whenever their fists met, preventing him from getting any closer!
"Heh, so this is all Sword Palace’s people have to offer!"
Xu Xiangbei chuckled proudly, but just then, a car suddenly sped into the fray from behind!
Upon seeing this car, a light shone in Jumushanhe’s eyes as he dashed towards it!
"Not good, it’s dangerous!"
Seeing Jumushanhe’s move, Xu Xiangbei broke into a cold sweat, realizing Jumushanhe intended to use the car as bait!
"Screech!"
The driver of the passing car, Zhao Xinfang, saw Jumushanhe rushing over with sword in hand and fearfully closed her eyes, bracing for death. Yet, in the next instant, she heard only the sound of flesh being pierced. Opening her eyes, she found Xu Xiangbei had used his back to block the sword’s strike!
"Heh, you’re dead meat now!"
Feeling the stab of pain, Xu Xiangbei grinned, but the excitement curled his lips again in the next second. As Jumushanhe’s sword hadn’t yet been retracted, Xu Xiangbei’s right fist gathered Inner Strength and punched towards Jumushanhe’s heart!
"Bang!"
Xu Xiangbei’s punch directly shattered Jumushanhe’s heart. A look of unwillingness appeared in Jumushanhe’s eyes, and he lay on the ground, lifeless within moments!
