Chapter 2305 - 2306: Female Assassin! (Second Update)
The reappearance of Ye Qiu didn’t take long, as he set out with his men again the next day.
This time, however, before he could strike, he noticed that this stronghold was highly vigilant, with more patrols as well.
It seemed that the previous strongholds being captured had alarmed them, and they dared not be too careless now.
However, Ye Qiu didn’t care about any of this; with his strength, no matter how tightly these rebels guarded, it was all in vain.
In the presence of a celestial-level power, even warships were of no significance.
He dealt with all the soldiers like a breeze sweeping away fallen leaves, encountering no difficulty at all.
Suddenly, Ye Qiu let out a murmur of surprise because he found a figure silently appearing behind him.
And launched a silent attack.
This person was extremely fast, and their attack was lethal right from the start.
To ambush Ye Qiu was like showing off one’s skills before a master; Ye Qiu was the ancestor of sneak attacks, there was no way he could fall for it.
Just as the opponent’s attack was about to land, Ye Qiu didn’t turn around but suddenly kicked backward, sending the opponent flying far away.
Splurt!
The figure, who had endured Ye Qiu’s kick, spat blood and was not lightly injured.
After all, this was a kick from a celestial-level power; not everyone could bear it.
"So... so strong..." This person felt their organs burning with pain, touching their chest, which had completely caved in.
Being a renowned assassin in Atlantis, he could claim he rarely failed. Even if a surprise attack didn’t succeed, he could leave smoothly, but this time, facing Ye Qiu, he felt enveloped by a sense of death.
This was an instinctual fear of a powerful creature, arising unbidden yet truly present.
"The person who targeted the Prophet might be you," Ye Qiu said lightly, watching the masked figure.
After seeing enough of the Atlantian race’s armored combat appearances, discovering such an outlier indeed piqued some fresh interest.
The opponent could appear without a sound, but perhaps, before his breakthrough, he might not have noticed. However, now as someone who had stepped into the celestial realm, Ye Qiu naturally couldn’t be approached silently.
But it had to be said, this guy was indeed impressive. Although he didn’t succeed, certain details showcased his extraordinary nature.
So, Ye Qiu immediately linked him to the person who poisoned the Prophet.
"Were you hired by that guy?" the person asked in surprise.
Because he didn’t expect Ye Qiu would help the other side, intervening in their internal matters.
"Hehe, I’m the one asking you, and you are not qualified to ask me," Ye Qiu stared into the opponent’s eyes.
"If you agree, the terms they promised you, we can also fulfill. If you consent, we are even willing to offer you more."
"Oh? You want me to abandon this side and join your camp?" Ye Qiu chuckled.
He indeed didn’t expect the other side was contemplating recruiting him.
Actually, if not for the rebel leader’s special instruction to potentially persuade Ye Qiu and try to recruit him at all costs, this person wouldn’t have said such words.
Of course, he personally felt that being an enemy to someone as strong as Ye Qiu was also quite challenging.
Being able to evade his deadly blow, such a person was indeed a tricky adversary for his side.
"Sir, I am serious, you might want to seriously consider it. In fact, this matter doesn’t have much to do with you. You must have been brought in for assistance. But on our side, we can offer you everything they offer you and much more,"
"Is that all? Done talking?" Ye Qiu suddenly said.
Hearing this, the other person was stunned, then replied in a serious tone: "What do you mean?"
"If you’ve finished talking, you may go die now," Ye Qiu said lightly.
Hearing this, he knew discussing with Ye Qiu was never an option; Ye Qiu wasn’t at all interested. With a silent sigh of trouble, he turned to leave.
However, before he even stepped half a foot, he suddenly felt like he hit something, and was thrown back.
"Sealed Heaven and Earth."
The person was shocked, revealing a panicked expression. He didn’t expect this place to be silently sealed by Ye Qiu, making it difficult to escape now.
"Sir, is there really no room for negotiation?" Leaving would be the best, but now without defeating Ye Qiu, there was no way out, which was challenging for a surprise attacker.
"Once I’ve decided on something, I don’t change my mind," Ye Qiu said slowly.
"Hehe, your words are quite absolute. In this world, everyone acts for themselves. The reason your decision is hard to sway, in my opinion, is because the stakes aren’t high enough."
"Once the stakes reach a certain height, I think you’d be willing to reconsider."
"Then I’d like to hear what stakes you’re talking about," Ye Qiu replied.
"My stakes..." she said, slowly removing the scarf from her face, revealing a beautiful face.
Peach blossom brows, willow leaf eyes, cherry lips.
Alongside those seductive eyes, the atmosphere instantly turned unique.
She’s a woman!
This was something Ye Qiu didn’t expect.
The woman slowly approached, Ye Qiu didn’t move, letting her come close. She smiled, gently stroking Ye Qiu’s face with one hand, then sliding down his cheek to draw circles on his chest.
This seductive appearance was undoubtedly highly lethal, especially as she leaned closer, her prominent chest pressed against Ye Qiu’s, breathing softly in his ear.
"Sir, if my offered stake is myself, would you be willing to change your mind?"
"I’ll tell you a secret, my body is still pure, and I’d happily offer myself to a strong man like you."
The warm breath by Ye Qiu’s ear teased his mind.
Every word, every syllable, carried a unique allure, like a hand scratching at your heart.
The woman awaited Ye Qiu’s answer, appearing eager to offer herself to him.
At this moment, Ye Qiu spoke.
"Do you think your poison could kill me?"
Swish.
At Ye Qiu’s words, the woman’s face suddenly changed; unknowingly, she had a sharp knife in her hand, striking at Ye Qiu’s temple.
However, her speed was still a bit slow, and in the next second, she was blown away by Ye Qiu once again.
Bang.
The woman was sent flying, spitting blood once more; she looked at Ye Qiu in surprise: "How did you know I was poisoning you?"
This puzzled her the most. She thought her strongest weapon of beauty could kill Ye Qiu, but she failed.
"Because when it comes to poisons, I’m no worse than you," Ye Qiu laughed.
"If I didn’t use poison and genuinely wanted to offer myself to you, would you change your mind?" the woman asked.
Ye Qiu chuckled, still shaking his head; the woman didn’t understand.
"Why?"
"Because... my women are all better looking than you!"
As the words echoed, a red flower bloomed and withered.
