The two assassins were instantly in dire straits, and looked to be trapped in a very difficult situation.
“I only need one person to go back and report!” the beautiful woman revealed a cold killing intent, “Go and tell that b****, Hua Wu Yue, that when I break through to Spiritual Pedestal Tier, that would be the day that b**** has to surrender her head!”
Her killing intent blazed, and her attacks were even more ruthless.
The old man and the young girl exchanged a look before they each stretched out a hand to hold onto each other. Instantly, there was an indescribable power circulating, and there actually appeared an inconceivable increase to their battle prowess, which helped them withstand the beautiful woman’s killing moves one after another.
Ling Han was astounded as he thought, ‘Was this “Two Hearts Beat as One”?’ This was a secret technique that could force out ten times the amount of potential two people had. However, when the technique’s effects ended, these two people who had used the technique would experience a setback in their cultivation levels. This technique belonged to the last resort category of martial arts techniques.
However, the “Two Hearts Beat as One” technique had very strict requirements for it use. The two people who used this technique had to be siblings, but there was such a large gap between the ages of these two people, so how could it be possible that they were siblings?
While he was still feeling surprised, the two assassins obviously knew they were no match for the beautiful woman. Only managing to withstand a few attacks from the beautiful woman, they suddenly leaped out the window, fleeing off into the distance.
The beautiful woman chased after them to and stood by the window, watching the spot the two assassins had vanished at, but made no move to continue her pursuit.
The people who had been walking on the streets had heard the window break and they all turned to look up. However, what they saw was an extremely beautiful woman standing from the window. As a light breeze blew, her silken garments were tightly wrapped around her shapely figure, clearly outlining her voluptuous body, and the passers-by could not help but salivate at this sight.
This was indeed an extremely captivating beauty!
The beautiful woman turned back round and cast a look at Ling Han, and said, “Little Brother, you are really quite brave not to flee.”
Ling Han smiled faintly, and said, “I’m so scared that my legs have become weak. Even if I want to flee, I can’t.”
“Giggle!” the beautiful woman covered her mouth and laughed. The beauty trembled in her humor, and had an indescribable allure to her. “Big sister is fond of your type—having a sweet mouth for flattery and a good sense of humor. What a pity that big sister is already married!”
Her figure suddenly leaped out the window, completely ignoring the corpses of the three members of Black Cloud Army.
The most vicious is a woman’s heart!
Ling Han shivered internally. Just now, that beautiful woman had actually borne killing intent towards him, but for some reason, gave up on her intention.
Just having a simple meal and things could become so hair-raising. This really made him lost for words.
Ling Han rose up from his seat and left. This had nothing to do with him. He did not have the free time to concern himself with unnecessary matters.
This was an area directly under the control of the Emperor and three members of the Black Cloud Army had died, so it was a very serious matter. In mere moments, the whole Imperial City was completely on alert. One infantry troop after another was seen patrolling the streets, searching for the location of the two assassins.
After Ling Han returned to the Hu Yang Academy and entered his courtyard, his brow immediately creased into a frown.
Someone had touched his restriction and had entered his courtyard!
“Shua,” a bright light flashed, and a sword was pointing right at his chest. A beautiful young girl appeared. “Don’t make any noise, or else I will kill you!”

This young girl actually happened to be one of the assassins at the restaurant.
Ling Han’s expression became strange. This was really too much of a coincidence, wasn’t it? This young girl was actually hiding at his place. But when he thought about it, Hu Yang Academy was indeed the best place for them to avoid their pursuers. Moreover, this was the most secluded, desolate corner of Hu Yang Academy, so it wasn’t really too much of a coincidence that this pair of assassins had found their way here.
He smiled calmly, and said, “I do not like someone pointing their sword at me.”
“Heng, even if you don’t like it, you’ll have to like it now!” the young girl declared a little naively, not showing the slightest bit of sign that she was a cold-blooded assassin.
Ling Han stretched out a finger, pressed down on the sword’s blade, and said, “You have just used ‘Two Hearts Beat as One’ technique. Do you even have a single percent of your battle prowess left?” His physical body had already surpassed the level of Body of Dead Tree, and was nearing the level of Body of Rock Cliff. Even if he was not circulating Origin Power to increase his defenses, there was no way the sharp blade of the sword was able to wound his finger.
He gave a flick of his finger, and the sword immediately swept to another side.
“This is much better.” The corners of his lips turned up into a smile.
The young girl could not hold back an expression of surprise, and asked, “How did you know we used ‘Two Hearts Beat as One’ technique?”
“That isn’t some kind of incredible secret technique.” Ling Han shook his head. In his last life, he did not have any siblings. Thus, even when he had obtained this technique, he only took one look at it and tossed it aside right after. He only knew the use of this secret technique as well as its drawback, but could not recall its exact details.
“Heng, even if we only have a single percent of our original battle prowess left, it would be more than enough to take care of a mere sixth layer of Element Gathering Tier martial artist like you!” the young girl said, unconvinced, and once again raised her sword to point at him.
Ling Han laughed loudly, and said, “If you misbehave, I’ll smack your bottom!”
“Scoundrel!” a red blush immediately rose up on the pretty face of the young girl, and her sword suddenly shot towards Ling Han in an attack.
If this young girl’s battle prowess had not dropped, then Ling Han would really have not dared to receive her attack head on. After all, the seventh layer of Gushing Spring Tier was much stronger than him. But, there may not even be a thousandth of her initial battle prowess left, what more a single percent. Additionally, he was a freak whose battle prowess allowed him to stand equal with the first layer of Gushing Spring Tier. In simpler terms, the result was that he was at an advantage in terms of battle prowess.
“Peng, peng, peng.” A few punches from Ling Han, and the sword was successfully flung out of the young girl’s hands. “Ding,” and the sword was firmly stabbed into the ground, swaying from side to side.
“Will you only behave after getting your bottom smacked?” Ling Han deliberately put on a severe expression.
The young girl was so scared that her face had gone pale. Why was she so unlucky? This was her first mission, and it had failed impressively. Moreover, she had only escaped the wolf’s den, but had entered into the tiger’s lair.
“Xiu,” another figure flew out. It was the old man, the other assassin. As his hands waved, the threads of the huqin danced, as if they were silk threads, winding towards Ling Han.
“Old man, though I have respect for the elderly, but if you flaunt your seniority in front of me, I will not be polite either!” Ling Han declared as he used his fists to parry the old man’s attacks. Due to his powerful defenses and sturdy physical body, those huqin threads that should have been able to cut through metals could do nothing against his bare fists.
The two of them could not help but feel extremely astounded. Even if their battle prowess had dropped drastically, if they combined forces, their power should be more than enough to dominate over any ninth layer of Element Gathering Tier martial artist. Yet this young man in front of them was really monstrously strong, he actually managed to turn the tables on them to suppress them.
“If you misbehave, then you’ll be thrashed!” Ling Han’s foot kicked out and hit directly on the young girl’s bottom, kicking her some distance away before throwing a punch onto the old man’s chest, also forcing him to fly off some distance away from him.
But after he had thrown this punch, Ling Han’s expression became a little strange.
There was something off about that feeling!
He walked towards the old man who was already lying down on the ground, now only able to moan in pain. Ling Han felt about the old man’s face, and suddenly tore off a thin mask with a tear.
The old man’s appearance changed greatly in that single instant, and actually revealed an angry-looking beautiful young face that looked quite similar with the young girl’s face.
No wonder!
Ling Han finally understood. Just now, he was still feeling curious about how there could be such a large age gap between this pair of “brother and sister”. Now it looks like the “elder brother” wasn’t the elder brother at all, but an elder sister who had simply disguised herself as an old man.
“Lecher!” the elder sister shouted in anger, a furious blush on her face, before actually fainting from her rage.
Ling Han sighed. He had not deliberately attacked her breast. Who asked this girl to disguise himself as an old man?
“Sister!” after the disguise was exposed, the young girl made no more attempts to gloss things over, and immediately called out. Unfortunately, the kick that Ling Han delivered just now was really very heavy—her bottom felt like it was burning even now. She had just gotten up before falling down to sit on the ground again.
“How troublesome!” Ling Han sighed again, “Do you two not have some other place to hide that you must come here to add onto my troubles?”
The young girl put on an expression as if she had been wronged. If they had known that there was a perverted lecher living here, they wouldn’t have come here even if they were beaten to death.
“Hey, hey, hey, cursing someone in your heart is not a good thing to do,” Ling Han said.
“How did you know?” the young girl asked in shock, an adorable expression on her face.
“With your kind of temperament, you want to be an assassin?” Ling Han only felt that the master of these two sisters was really too much of a failure to actually train this kind of assassins. Their master should practically hit himself with a piece of tofu, thus committing suicide.
“What do you care!” the young girl humphed, and ignored him.
“Watch out, or I will smack your bottom!” Ling Han threatened.
“You, you dare!” the young girl was once again so scared by his threat that her face had turned pale. Usually, she had her elder sister to protect her, but now that her sister was unconscious, she suddenly felt at a loss.
“You two only know how to give me trouble!” Ling Han shook his head. He stretched out a hand, grabbed the collar of the elder sister, and walked over to pick up the younger sister before entering his house.
“You, what do you want to do?” the younger sister had turned pale from fear. Was this guy going to commit a crime of lust in broad daylight?
“Hehe, what do you think?” Ling Han asked, deliberately putting on a wicked expression.
The younger sister was so scared her eyes rolled in the back of her head, and actually fainted too.
“Ai, I give up. They are like this, and they want to become assassins.” Ling Han shook his head. At first, when he saw the well-coordinated movements of these two girls, and how well-practiced they were, he had thought they were experienced assassins. But in the end, they were… mere rookies!
He tossed the two girls into Hu Niu’s room. He thought for a while, then moved Hu Niu’s “egg” into his own room.
Who knows when the little girl would hatch out of her egg.
After a short while, the pair of sisters awoke, and when they discovered they were fully dressed and there was nothing off with their appearances, they both felt relieved.
“Sister, let’s take advantage of that guy not being here, and quickly flee,” the younger sister said.
“How do we flee?” the elder sister said with a bitter smile. “After we used ‘Two Hearts Beat as One’, we forced ourselves into another battle. Can you even use Origin Power now? If we go out now and fall into the hands of those smelly men… I would rather die.”
“But that guy is really bad, always saying that he’s going to smack my bottom,” the younger sister said, feeling very wronged.
“That person’s eyes look very clear, so I don’t think he’s that kind of person.” The elder sister shook her head.
“Sister, don’t forget that he groped your breast just now!” the younger sister pointed out this fact.
“Stupid girl, don’t talk nonsense. I was punched by him!” the elder sister quickly argued.
“What’s the difference?” the younger sister mumbled.
Ling Han had just pushed open the door and entered, and could not stop his face from twitching. This pair of sisters were even more amateurish than he had thought.
Chapter 140

When they saw Ling Han come in, both sisters put on guarded expressions. Just now, they could somehow still have the ability to fight, but now, they were really like fish upon a chopping block, completely at the mercy of others.
Ling Han moved a stool closer to them, sat down, and said, “Why don’t you tell me your story?”
Both girls shook their heads at the same time, and the younger sister even declared stubbornly, “Death is better than being insulted. Just kill us!”
“All right, since you two are so determined to die, then I’ll give you a hand!” Ling Han nodded and stood.
The two sisters looked like they were not afraid of death and exposed their necks to receive a killing blow, but their tightly gripped hands betrayed them—who would not be afraid when facing death?
Ling Han rubbed his chin, and said, “You two are quite good-looking. To just kill the two of you seems to be too much of a waste.”
“You, how can you be so untrustworthy!” the two sisters declared angrily, “Kill us quickly!”
Ling Han could not help being amused, and asked, “So what if I am untrustworthy?”
“You won’t get a good end!” the younger sister said with a pale face.
Ling Han laughed loudly, and asked the elder sister, “Bringing along a silly little girl like this is a lot of pressure, isn’t it?”
“You, you even insulted me?” the younger sister only felt extremely wronged. This young man either insulted her, or scared her. He was really too despicable! Moreover, he didn’t look much older than herself, yet kept referring to her as a little girl, pretending to be so much more mature.
“Tell me your names, or I will smack your bottoms!” Ling Han threatened.
“Heng, I won’t tell!” the younger sister declared stubbornly.
“I am Liu Feng Er, and she is my younger sister, Liu Ru Er,” the elder sister said.
“Sister, why did you tell him? We would rather die than submit!” the younger sister, Liu Ru Er, declared with a pout.
“What about the person you want to kill?” Ling Han asked.
“Her name is Xu Ke Xin. She used to be a member of our Falling Flower Court, but is now our enemy!” this time, Liu Ru Er snatched the chance to answer first. Since there was no possibility of ‘rather die than submit’ anymore, then there was no way that an outspoken person like her could hide any secrets.
“Why?” Ling Han asked. He truly felt that his curious nature was much too strong. This had nothing to with him at all.
“Xu Ke Xin used to be the top assassin of our Falling Flower Court, but she actually allied herself with an outsider, charged into our Falling Flower Court, and killed almost all the members of our Falling Flower Court. Although the two of us sisters are all that is left of the Falling Flower Court, we will definitely make this traitor repay with her life,” Liu Ru Er made an impassioned declaration, her head held high.
