Chapter 32: Hunting and Killing 1.2

  Having had the experience of close combat with an assassin last time, although he finally won by luck, Wu Yeru knew that it was because of his sneak attack. If he encountered another experienced assassin, he estimated that he would not be so lucky. So, after considering for a while, Wu Yeru decided to make use of his advantages again. There was no need to fight desperately now, and the main goal was still to gain energy points. Whatever was quick and easy, he would do it that way.

  Thinking of this, Wu Ye Yu took a look at the situation on Wu Zong Yue's side and found that both sides were still stuck together. The two strongest people naturally fought each other, with similar strength, and for the time being, it was difficult to determine the winner, let alone kill each other.

  However, the guards and assassins were not so calm. Assassins generally relied on stealthy attacks, poisoning, and ambushes to kill their targets, using any means necessary. But when faced with a direct confrontation like this, they didn't have the upper hand. If it weren't for the fact that the assassins' strength was slightly higher than that of Wu's guards, they might have already retreated by now. Even so, their situation was not optimistic, and they could only barely hold on. Many assassins were already wounded, and the red dots representing them on the mission map were flickering weakly, suggesting they wouldn't be able to withstand much more.

  "Damn it! That's my energy point! Can't waste it like this, no way! Looks like I need to speed up the progress." Wu Yeyu said quietly to himself.

  Since the decision has been made, it is only natural to put it into action. Thus, Wu Ye Yu exerted some force with his feet on the wall and after a few pushes, his body twisted and he landed on top of the courtyard wall. Then, he ran for several steps before arriving at a building that was slightly elevated, resembling an observation pavilion. The view was expansive, with some cover around it, making it very advantageous for him to utilize his strengths.

  Wu Ye Yu glanced at the mission map, confirmed that there was no danger around her, and found the location of the assassin closest to her. She mounted an assault rifle, with one eye on the scope, and easily found the assassin hiding in a dark corner due to the night vision goggles she wore.

  Without any hesitation, Wu Ye Yu aimed at the opponent's head and directly pulled the trigger. In a flash of light, the bullet pierced through the assassin's head with almost no recoil, so fast that it seemed like an illusion to ordinary people.

  The assassin who was shot through also fell backwards, thudding to the ground without drawing anyone's attention. "Damn it, I told you to learn from me, did you think you're some kind of young master? Ambushing people is not that simple!" Wu Ye Yu didn't know where he learned this habit from, but as he aimed his rifle at the next assassin, he was muttering curses under his breath.

  This assassin was quite interesting, hiding in the toilet, and it seemed to be a women's toilet. The assassin crouched on one of the holes, with the door closed, and who knows if he was solving a problem or not. An ordinary person would never think that someone would hide here. Seeing this situation, Wu Ye Yu naturally wouldn't show mercy, pulling the trigger, a dark red laser beam pierced through several layers of obstacles, its speed undiminished, shooting through the assassin's neck. The assassin fell back, and more than half of his body fell into the hole.

  After glancing at the number of kills that had just increased, Wu Ye confirmed that this guy was dead and turned to his next target. After picking off five more people in a row, someone finally noticed something was off. But this couldn't be blamed on others - who would have thought that after killing several assassins in a row, Wu Ye would still be so carefree and hiding in the pavilion? As for the laser's firing speed, although it was very fast, if one were an expert, they could still discover some clues with careful observation. Once or twice, it could be attributed to having poor eyesight, but if this kept happening over and over again, who wouldn't know that there was a problem here?

  Then, the three assassins who had been wandering around the Wu family's house without stopping, came sneaking from different directions towards Wu Ye Yu. Wu Ye Yu was paying close attention to the situation on the task map and naturally knew about these things. Although his heart was a bit tense and his body was slightly trembling, it wasn't mainly because of fear. As he continued to shoot and kill the assassins, Wu Ye Yu gradually grasped some key points of marksmanship, and his body and mind were constantly emitting sparks of excitement, as if he had been looking forward to this situation happening all along.

  Only to see Wu Ye Yu's gun muzzle swiftly turned and locked onto an assassin who was closest to him. This assassin was extremely clever, whether it was sneaking or vaulting, always keeping himself in a position with at least one wall between him and Wu Ye Yu, never daring to expose his body directly in the open, even if the light was as dim as possible.

  "Wow! A master, judging from the momentum and hidden methods, at least a small team leader level, huh? Unfortunately, unless you can turn yourself into a cold-blooded animal, otherwise just obediently follow orders!" Through the night vision scope, Wu Ye Yu's gun muzzle kept moving with the fast-moving heat source, slowly exhaling a breath, aiming at a must-pass route for assassins, and when the assassin arrived under the gun muzzle, Wu Ye Yu, who was highly concentrated, immediately pulled the trigger!

  A faint dark light flashed silently, passing through the walls that separated them, and then pierced through the assassin's chest!

  "Hmm!? It can still move! One more shot!" Wu Yeru discovered that the assassin, after being hit, was still crawling forward slowly on the ground, hoping to escape with his life. However, reality is often cruel.

  Only a muzzle flash, and another laser beam pierced the wall, passing through the assassin's body. This time, due to the slow movement speed of the assassin, he was directly shot in the neck, adding 10,000 energy to Wu Ye Yu.

  Wu Ye Lian licked his somewhat dry lips and turned the muzzle elsewhere.

  "Thank you for the honor ~ I will deeply bow to you ~ because someone understands the efforts paid ~ oh ~~" The murmured song came from Wu Ye Yu's mouth, and the muzzle had already quietly aimed at another assassin who was running towards him. This assassin wasn't the closest one to himself, alive, the closest one had already been discovered by the guard defending this place and stopped, so naturally he prioritized this guy first.

  This assassin was obviously not as skilled as the last one, and his stealth and hiding abilities were also much worse. Occasionally, when he flipped over flowers and grasses, he would show off his movements, doing a front flip in mid-air and the like. However, his body was very light, "He should be a young man, I reckon he doesn't have much experience either, sigh~ In the prime of youth, why did he end up doing this kind of thing? Goodbye! No need to see you off!" Wu Ye Yu had already taken aim at a flower pot with his gun, certain that this guy would definitely use another beautiful flip as a trick to clear the obstacle.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, that agile assassin, while flipping over, showed off a high-difficulty move in mid-air - a 360-degree front flip with a 720-degree twist, greatly increasing the time spent airborne. Even Wu Yeru, who had been tempered by his past experiences, couldn't help but secretly exclaim "Beautiful!"

  A flash of light was seen, and just as the assassin was about to complete his move, a bullet pierced through his brain, taking a small piece of skull with it. The assassin's beautiful move lost its power and ended in a big flop, leaving everyone disappointed, including Wu Ye Yu, who couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

  "I should have let him finish his move before shooting, after all, it's the last moment of life, can't leave regrets for others." Wu Ye Yu muttered to himself at this time, but he believed that even he would forget what he said later, probably just a casual remark, and then turned his head and forgot.

  The muzzle shifted, pointing directly at the assassin who had been blocked by the guards. Through the scope, Wu Ye Yu discovered that the assassin was now covered in blood, with a constant flow of blood from his arm, and the price was a bloody hole on one of the guard's thighs. The injured guard limped slightly, but was immediately replaced by another guard.

  The assassin, due to being outnumbered and outmatched, was slowly retreating as the guards closed in. However, judging from the rate of blood loss, it was clear that a major blood vessel had been severed, and the wound was quite severe. It was likely that the assassin wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

  "Hmph! This won't do, I'll take care of this myself!" Wu Yeru quickly took aim at the assassin and pulled the trigger. The assassin fell to the ground with a thud, leaving behind a corpse with a hole in its head.

  Wu Ye blew a soft whistle and continued to aim at the assassin in the distance.

  "Hey, who's that on the attic? Could it be a master invited by the host? Look at the way he uses his sword energy, basically every attack takes out an assassin. Just from what I've seen, there are already three corpses with holes in them. He must be at least a Sword Master level expert!" Guard B said to the surrounding guards.

  "Who knows, if I had to say, at least it's a Sword King level expert, I've never seen sword energy used like that before, maybe even higher!" Guard Cang said.

  "Is that the Sword King's boundary? Isn't that on the same level as our family head? Wow! That's incredible, if word gets out, we Wu family might really be able to dominate this Clear Water Town!" Guard B said with a certain expression.

  "Alright! What are you still doing here, bragging and wasting time? Hurry up to your own post! If those assassins break into this courtyard, the first ones to suffer will be you! Get out of here!" Another guard with some authority said.

  "It's the captain!" The other guards were also startled when they heard the captain's words, and after reacting, they immediately responded with a sound, then dispersed.
