At night, after setting up camp. Zhang Hao sat cross-legged to rest. He released Little Dragon and let it stand guard for him.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Hao found that Little Dragon moved in his arms.
“What's wrong, Little Dragon?”
“Just now I seemed to smell the aura of a killer, but it quickly disappeared,” Little Dragon said.
Zhang Hao's heart stirred, and he asked Little Dragon, “Where did that killer disappear?”
“In the northwest corner,” Little Dragon said.
Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes and thought to himself: That killer naturally wouldn't dare to risk assassinating me, but he should be hidden within a merchant group or Mercenary Group. What is he leaving for so late?
Zhang Hao, feeling curious, immediately became interested. He said to Little Dragon, “Little Dragon, lead the way.”
Little Dragon quickly said, “Okay, Boss.”
Under the guidance of Little Dragon, Zhang Hao hurried into the Black Forest.
“Boss, it's about a hundred meters ahead. Be careful, I smell the aura of two people. There's also an aura... and another aura seems to be...”
Little Dragon's voice was a bit hesitant.
“Speak...” Zhang Hao noticed something unusual and furrowed his brow.
Finally, Little Dragon said a name, and Zhang Hao's brow furrowed slightly. He immediately rushed over. On a tree trunk, Zhang Hao hovered above. Because he used Lingbo Micro Step, he was completely silent. Neither of the two people under the tree noticed.
Both people wore masks. Both were dressed in black. One was slightly slender, and the other was tall and imposing.
“Netherwing, I asked you out because I hope you'll stop,” said the slender Masked Man.
The voice was that of a young girl.
Zhang Hao frowned.
“Impossible. When I, Netherwing Bat King, make a move, the target will not return unless they are dead,” Netherwing Bat King sneered.
“Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?” the girl said angrily.
“Your Excellency, you can't kill me. You should be very clear about the difference in strength between us,” Netherwing Bat King said nonchalantly.
“What exactly will it take for you to stop?” the girl's voice was a bit cold and stern.
“Your subordinate doesn't want to waste words, this is impossible,” Netherwing Bat King said.
“The authority over Sky Punishment's Northern Region is already in my hands. This Excellency is preparing to cancel this mission, and Zhang Hao will be removed from Sky Punishment's blacklist. You can completely give up this mission,” the girl's voice said.
“Hahaha, Your Excellency, this mission, I, Netherwing Bat King, will definitely complete and will never give up,” Netherwing Bat King laughed coldly.
“You want to disobey orders?” The girl emanated a killing intent.
“Your Excellency, although you are Sky Punishment's Young Master, you are not the leader and do not yet have the authority to command me. As one of the top ten ace killers in the organization's Northern Region, we have a high degree of autonomy, and as for how you obtained the authority over the Northern Region, I think you should be very clear yourself. At that time, I feel it is very necessary for you to explain to the Elder Council,” Netherwing Bat King sneered.
“You...” The girl was furious but helpless.
“Your subordinate will take his leave, Your Excellency need not see me out.” After speaking, Netherwing Bat King flew away.
Seeing Netherwing Bat King leave, Zhang Hao immediately said to Little Dragon, “Little Dragon, follow him and see where Netherwing Bat King goes.”
Zhang Hao knew that with Netherwing Bat King's speed, it would likely be difficult for him to keep up. However, Little Dragon might have a chance.
Little Dragon shot out like lightning and chased after him.
Just as the girl was about to leave, Zhang Hao came out from the side and blocked her path.
“It's you!” The girl's voice was extremely shocked, and she couldn't help but retreat a few steps.
The girl wearing the mask turned around, ready to escape.
“Ye Yunshang!”
Zhang Hao's voice sounded behind the masked girl.
The masked girl's body trembled, and she couldn't help but stop.
“I was right, wasn't I! Ye Yunshang, Young Miss Dugu Ye. Sky Punishment killer organization's Young Master... I never would have thought, the enemy has actually infiltrated the inside. No wonder...” Zhang Hao laughed mockingly.
The masked girl turned around and slowly removed the mask she was wearing. That beautiful and extraordinary face, who else could it be but Ye Yunshang!
“I hate being lied to the most, why did you lie to me? What was your purpose in painstakingly blending in by my side?” Zhang Hao roared angrily.
“I didn't, Zhang Hao... I really am...” Ye Yunshang's expression was a little flustered.
“Still saying no? Ye Yunshang, are you foolish, or am I foolish! I heard everything you said just now. Sky Punishment's Young Master... Your Excellency... What a prominent title... I'm just a foolish kid! I'm really foolish, to have believed you so confusedly back then...” Zhang Hao roared.
“Zhang Hao, I did lie to you, but I never wanted to hurt you... If I wanted to assassinate you, there would have been plenty of opportunities...” Ye Yunshang was on the verge of tears, saying choked up.
“Don't say anymore... If not for this, do you think you could still be standing here now?” Zhang Hao's voice was cold and stern.
“Zhang Hao, listen to my explanation...”
“Clang!”
Zhang Hao drew out his Blood God Blade. The bloody blade shadow slashed down through the air.
“Boom!”
The bloody blade shadow cut a blade mark in front of Zhang Hao and Ye Yunshang. He looked coldly at Ye Yunshang and said cruelly, “Ye Yunshang, from today onwards, we are severed with one strike. Don't follow me again... otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite.”
After speaking, he turned and left.
“Zhang Hao, you are so heartless... woo woo woo... Why are you doing this to me? How have I wronged you? The reason I came to your side wasn't it all to protect you? Although my, Ye Yunshang's, original intention was wrong. But I've never hurt you... Bastard, bastard, I'll draw a circle and curse you...” Ye Yunshang squatted on the ground, saying angrily.
On the ground, Ye Yunshang drew a small figure resembling Zhang Hao, and wrote the three words Zhang Hao on it. Then she fiercely stabbed it with a knife, as if venting something.
Zhang Hao didn't know how far he had run, his heart was very agitated, as if he had the impulse to destroy everything. It could be said that besides Murong Ziqian, Ye Yunshang also held a considerable place in his heart. But today, Ye Yunshang also hurt his heart. Even knowing that Ye Yunshang had never hurt him. But in the end, she deceived him.
At some point, Little Dragon returned.
“Boss, you're so scary!” Little Dragon said timidly, looking at Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao took a deep breath and looked at Little Dragon, asking, “Little Dragon, how was the tracking? Did you find that person?”
Little Dragon shook its little head and said bitterly, “That person's movement speed was too fast, not inferior to Little Dragon's. Little Dragon still let him get away in the end.”
Zhang Hao also knew that Netherwing Bat King's speed was truly terrifying, and he was extremely cunning. Although Little Dragon's speed was fast, it wasn't strange for it to be shaken off by him.
Returning to the camp, Xiao Jian was currently pacing back and forth anxiously. When he saw Zhang Hao return, he immediately walked up and looked at Zhang Hao, saying urgently, “Brother Zhang Hao, have you seen my sister?”
