Chapter 1435: Annihilation
Upon Asai’s command, the remaining people scattered in all directions. Though it seemed completely chaotic, they moved like hares freed from a trap, with no intention of lingering in battle, each finding their own escape route and preparing to flee.
Before Asai gave the order, they feared neither life nor death, willing to fight and kill.
Once the order was issued, they whole-heartedly adopted an evasive strategy without any hesitation.
It truly achieved the effect of orders being executed without question, with unified action.
In an instant, several figures aimed for the third-floor window, leaping forward towards it.
Trying to escape through the hallways posed great risks and there wasn’t enough time to do so, thus making the window the primary escape route.
Not to mention whether there were ambushes in the hallways; if there really were, all hope of escape would be wasted on a futile route, which would take time, and being surrounded would leave no escape.
At a critical moment, they jumped out of the window, diving down from a height of about five or six meters.
"Face your death!" Ye Fan fixed his murderous intent on Asai, the leader, powerless against the others’ fleeing. His sole aim was to eliminate the primary threat.
Asai leapt upwards, heading directly towards a window.
Ye Fan moved swiftly, in a few steps reaching behind Asai, and directly grabbed Asai’s calf.
"What?" Asai was shocked beyond words. He never expected that even in his meticulously planned escape, he would lose the initiative, filling him with rage.
Before he could react, his head buzzed, losing all thought and leaving him dazed.
Ye Fan grabbed Asai’s ankle and with a pull, easily rendering Asai powerless to resist.
Ye Fan swung Asai, flinging him out of his grip and sending him crashing into a wall.
"Boom!!!" The wall reverberated with the echo of impact, trembling slightly.
Then, Asai fell to the ground with a thud, his expression immediately filled with fear, his face pale.
Asai struggled for a moment, putting on a tough act, and stood up.
"Urgh urgh!!" A few mouthfuls of thick blood spewed from Asai’s throat, mixed with blood and froth.
Unconsciously, Asai staggered back a couple of steps, leaning against the wall, feeling a sweet taste in his throat, his body trembling involuntarily, with dizziness overpowering him, barely able to stand.
"Worthy of the Terminator, your martial prowess is indeed invincible and shocking to the world." Asai bit the tip of his tongue, struggling to regain clarity and said intermittently, "To die by your hands is an honor, but I warn you, this is just the beginning. You will pay a painful price for your actions. Often, having immense strength isn’t enough; against other lethal moves, it’s clear you won’t stand a chance. You surely won’t meet a good end."
Asai said these words with all his might, exhausting his mental energy.
"Facing imminent death, yet you still threaten me, how laughable." Ye Fan stepped forward, coldly saying, "Die."
With one punch, Ye Fan shattered Asai’s chest, affecting his internal organs.
Asai collapsed heavily to the ground, lifeless.
Those remaining enemies attempting to flee had just landed, trying to use momentum to mitigate the force of jumping down, when someone came up behind them; before they could react, several enemies were killed by the assassins.
Zhang Lu, Yang Shu, Qiu Wen, and Shen Tingting each found their targets, and as soon as they struck, four enemies fell.
Faced with the impending attack of the four well-prepared individuals, the panicked escaping enemies were horrified, unable to fathom how quickly the killing intent descended. Before they could react or prepare, disaster struck.
Moments later, all the escaping enemies were easily eliminated by Qiu Wen and the others.
Thus, Asai’s group of enemies was completely annihilated; no one could escape.
Ye Fan and the others left.
In the car, Ye Fan roughly calculated, saying: "This group of enemies numbered about thirty, a hidden force with significant threat. Fortunately, they revealed some traces, allowing us to follow the trail to their hiding place and wipe them out in one stroke. Otherwise, if this force were allowed to operate, it would surely pose a huge crisis."
"Luckily we had a dual-handed approach; that’s why we achieved complete annihilation." Yang Shu said sternly.
"This time, thanks to Qiu Wen; without her efforts in finding the hideout overnight, we couldn’t have located this group." Zhang Lu said gratefully.
"No need for formalities, since we are fully responsible for this incident, we naturally must deal with it with all our might, exterminating all possible enemies." Ye Fan said, looking at Zhang Lu seriously, "Did this group of enemies ever reveal themselves before this? Did they appear before the surveillance?"
"What we know now is that Asai and his group were under the command of Sigu Xiu. Before this, we didn’t know of Asai’s group’s existence. Had Asai not exposed himself, this would have remained a great hidden threat." Zhang Lu thoughtfully confirmed this assessment.
Exposed enemies exist and are naturally monitored.
But the unseen forces are where the real danger lies, where no one dares to underestimate.
"It’s beings like Asai that we must be wary of. We don’t know where these people are hiding, nor when they’ll cause trouble. This is the headache." Ye Fan said: "So, against such enemies, there’s only one strategy—to eliminate them all. Since they ostensibly don’t exist, killing them is justified."
"Finding hidden enemies to eliminate them all is no problem, the key is that hidden enemies are hard to find." Zhang Lu said frustratingly, "These people are cunning, well-trained. Pinpointing the hideout of a group of enemies indeed requires great effort."
"This time, thanks to Qiu Wen, but we can’t always rely on such luck." Yang Shu’s slightly dim eyes showed a hint of helplessness, saying: "As everyone knows, hidden enemies pose a significant threat, finding them is of utmost importance. Yet, even if found, without the invincible deterrence of an instructor like this time, we might not conquer the enemies."
"Finding one group at a time, eliminating one batch at a time, take it slowly." Ye Fan said calmly.
