172: I've been tricked!

Only those few gold-medal assassins remained, looking at each other, their eyes filled with shock.

Ghost Face!

The legendary number one assassin of the Blood Fiend Tower!

A legend who, with a cultivation level at Soul Transformation Peak, had successfully assassinated an Early Stage Tribulation Transcendence Great Expert!

He had actually taken action himself!

...

Inside the City Lord's Mansion.

Qin Feng was lying on the soft bed, enjoying the gentle shoulder massage from Ye Nianxin.

Lin Yao, like a little kitten, lay on his lap, playing with his fingers in sheer boredom.

Zhao Muxue sat to the side, meditating with her eyes closed, but her slightly trembling eyelashes showed that her heart was not at peace.

Suddenly.

A playful smile curled at the corners of Qin Feng's mouth.

"An interesting little mouse has arrived."

The Three Women were stunned upon hearing this.

Zhao Muxue opened her eyes abruptly, a flash of divine light gleaming within her ice-fire phoenix eyes!

"Husband?"

Her Divine Thought instantly enveloped the entire City Lord's Mansion, yet she did not discover anything unusual.

"No need to look," Qin Feng said lazily.

"He is hiding very well."

"However, in front of me, no matter how good the disguise is, it is all in vain."

His gaze seemed to pierce through layers of halls, landing on the most inconspicuous rockery in the City Lord's Mansion.

"Let's go."

"I'll take you to watch a good show."

The night was as dark as ink.

In the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion, rockeries stood tall, and water flowed with a murmuring sound.

A figure, like a ghost, silently blended into the shadows of the rockery.

He was the number one assassin of the Blood Fiend Tower, Ghost Face.

He had been lurking here for a full hour.

He was like the most patient hunter, waiting for the moment his prey revealed a flaw.

His breathing, his heartbeat, all his vital signs, had perfectly merged with the surrounding environment.

Even if the Divine Thought of a Tribulation Stage Great Expert swept past, they would only mistake him for an ordinary rock.

This was his "Dao."

The Dao of assassination.

It was also the Dao of concealment.

He believed that as long as he was given a chance, even if it was just for a split second, the dagger in his hand, quenched with the "Nine Nether Soul-Eroding Poison," would be enough to make a Tribulation Crossing Great Power regret it to their death on the spot!

However.

He had waited for a long time.

Inside the bedchamber where the target was, everything remained calm.

Those four people seemed completely unaware of his arrival.

"Hm?" The brows beneath Ghost Face's white mask furrowed slightly.

Something was wrong.

It was too quiet.

According to intelligence, that man named Qin Feng acted with arrogance and dominance, and his perception was extremely sharp.

He couldn't possibly be unaware that he had snuck into the City Lord's Mansion.

Unless...

He was intentionally luring him to make a move!

A thought flashed through Ghost Face's mind like lightning.

His heart shivered, and he instantly gathered his focus to the utmost!

And just at this moment.

A voice with a touch of laziness and a touch of playfulness seemed to ring directly in his mind.

"Hey, I'm talking to you."

"How long are you going to keep hiding behind that broken rock?"

"My Wives are getting impatient."

Boom!

Ghost Face's brain buzzed, going completely blank!

He had been discovered!

His proud Dao of concealment was actually useless in front of the other party?!

He had no time to think; his body's instincts had already made the fastest reaction!

"Swish!"

His figure instantly vanished from behind the rockery!

The next second, he had already appeared on the roof of the bedchamber!

The pitch-black dagger in his hand turned into a bolt of deathly lightning, silent as the grave, ignoring all Formations and defenses, and struck directly toward the white-clothed woman sitting cross-legged inside the bedchamber, who had the strongest aura!

Capture the leader to capture the bandits!

As long as he could instantly inflict heavy damage or even kill this strongest woman, the remaining three would be nothing to fear!

This strike condensed his entire life's cultivation and Dao aura!

Fast! Accurate! Ruthless!

He was confident that even a true Mid-stage Tribulation Transcendence Great Expert, caught off guard, would absolutely not be able to dodge this strike!

However.

Just as his dagger was about to touch the back of the white-clothed woman's heart.

A hand.

A long, fair, and perfect hand that looked like a work of art.

Just like that, it appeared, casually, in front of his dagger.

Then.

Using two fingers.

The index finger and middle finger.

Gently.

It clamped onto the blade of death, which was enough to kill a god.

"Ding."

A sound, even lighter than the buzzing of a mosquito's wings.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The pupils beneath Ghost Face's white mask suddenly contracted to the extreme!

He looked in disbelief at the black-robed youth who had appeared before him, he didn't know when.

He looked even more incredulously at his own indestructible dagger, which could easily pierce through the Protective Aura of a Tribulation Crossing Great Power, being held by the other party with just two fingers, just like that, effortlessly!

How... is that possible?!

"Too little force." Qin Feng looked at him, shook his head, and a smile appeared on his face that made Ghost Face's soul tremble with fear.

"Too slow."

"And the angle is wrong."

"Is this assassination attempt just meant to scratch an itch for me?"

Finishing his sentence, he applied a slight amount of force with the two fingers holding the dagger.

"Snap!"

That dagger, forged from extraterrestrial meteorite iron and known as the number one divine weapon of the Blood Fiend Tower.

Snapped at the sound.

It turned into two pieces.

Ghost Face: "..."

He looked at the half-broken handle remaining in his hand, his entire being completely stunned.
