CHAPTER 493: CHAPTER 493: INSTAKILL MATSUI YUKI

In the room where Ye Fan and Xu Qianqian stayed, after a simple wash, Xu Qianqian lay down to sleep. Initially, she wanted to chat with Ye Fan for a while, but his rejection made her abandon the idea, so she went to bed in a huff.

Since it was a suite with a separate bedroom, there was no awkwardness.

After turning off the lights, Ye Fan lay down pretending to sleep, pondering the scenes from the first time he met Lv Xinxin. The more he thought about it, the more he was certain that there was something wrong with Lv Xinxin.

In fact, Lv Xinxin prided herself on her perfect stalking skills, yet she still exposed a flaw. That’s why Ye Fan took a fleeting glance in her direction when checking into the room.

What Lv Xinxin didn’t know was that, in Ye Fan’s eyes, she had long been exposed.

"If she doesn’t make a move, that’s fine. I’ll investigate her identity after coming down, then decide if I should act."

"If she makes a move at this time, then I won’t hold back and will directly kill her. Regardless of who she is or her identity, just the fact that she could become Xu Qianqian’s homeroom teacher is reason enough to eliminate her as a future threat. Leaving her by Xu Qianqian’s side will eventually be harmful, so I can’t let her stay."

Ye Fan mused silently. He had some guesses about Lv Xinxin’s origin, but he didn’t know her exact identity or why she harbored murderous intent towards him.

However, if nothing unforeseen happened, the truth would come to light soon enough.

After dawn, everything remained silent, with no disturbance whatsoever.

Ye Fan lay in bed, lurking quietly like an assassin in the night.

Around 1:30, a faint sound finally emerged.

"Click!" The sound of the door lock being picked was faintly heard. Despite its softness, Ye Fan’s keen senses caught it.

Lv Xinxin crept in silently, like a specter, picking the lock and entering without a sound, then gently closed the door.

She turned around, scanning the room to lock onto her target, when suddenly, her hairs stood on end.

"You’ve finally come." In the darkness, Ye Fan’s voice echoed.

A swirl of emotion surged in Lv Xinxin’s serene heart, turning it into a raging storm.

"Impossible. There’s no way he could have noticed me first." Lv Xinxin roared in her heart, but the reality forced her to accept that she had long been exposed under Ye Fan’s watchful eyes, which shocked her to the core.

She was a top-notch assassin, unmatched in her mastery of ninjutsu, having eliminated anyone who dared challenge her. She didn’t believe Ye Fan had the capability to discover her.

She didn’t flee in panic because she was filled with a question: she wanted to know how Ye Fan had discovered her.

Besides, she believed she could easily kill Ye Fan, hence her lack of concern, as the saying goes, ’the more skilled you are, the bolder you become.’

She deeply understood the principle that rashly targeting Ye Fan to kill was imprudent. However, this rare opportunity could not be wasted. If she missed tonight and Ye Fan left Xu Qianqian’s side, it wouldn’t be easy to find another such chance, thus prompting her attack.

"I didn’t expect you to have some skill. That’s good; killing you will not diminish my reputation." Lv Xinxin spoke slowly, her eyes like those of a wildcat, starting to lock onto Ye Fan’s position.

"Who are you? Why do you harbor such malintent towards me?" Ye Fan asked softly.

"Before I answer that question, there’s something I want to ask you. How did you discover me?" Lv Xinxin replied.

"It’s simple. Every ninja carries a unique aura. This might be undetectable to the person themselves, but not necessarily to others. The first time I saw you, I knew from experience and intuition that you were dangerous." Ye Fan responded.

Lv Xinxin pondered Ye Fan’s words, shocked by his mention of ’experience and intuition.’ Making such a definitive judgement from that alone was a perception only achieved by those experienced in great battles.

She couldn’t help but be taken aback, as this detail wasn’t included in the intelligence she had on Ye Fan.

She suddenly realized her knowledge of Ye Fan was too inadequate, turning previously gathered intelligence into useless information.

For the first time, she sensed danger, realizing her own carelessness had put her at a disadvantage.

Confident of victory, she didn’t expect that Ye Fan had seen through her intentions from beginning to end.

"I’m from the Divine Wind Bureau. In Ba Country, you killed Okamura Jiro and disrupted Wanpu Company’s business. This vendetta must be paid with the blood of the Chu Group." Lv Xinxin explained.

"Now that I’ve got the answer I wanted, you can die." Ye Fan stated faintly.

"You’re too arrogant. What can you do to me? You’re the one who should die." Lv Xinxin’s eyes were filled with killing intent.

As her words ricocheted, Lv Xinxin’s figure dashed forward in the darkness, targeting Ye Fan’s location. Her powerful and aggressive kick was aimed at him, fierce and dominating.

"Overestimating your own strength." Ye Fan uttered these four words, full of disdain, returning a flying kick of his own.

Ye Fan’s kick followed slowly, as if he had grasped Lv Xinxin’s attack pattern, colliding head-on with her leg. For Ye Fan, her speed and agility, which would dazzle ordinary people, were of no concern.

"Bang!" A dull thud echoed, the fierce clash producing a crackling sound in the void.

It was like thunder booming in a clear sky.

"Crunch." Followed by the crisp sound of bones breaking.

"Ah!" Lv Xinxin couldn’t help but cry out in pain, her body flung backward, coughing up a mouthful of blood she couldn’t hold back.

"Impossible. Your speed can’t be this fast."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Lv Xinxin knelt on the ground, her body stiffening, eyes wide open in death with unreconciled bewilderment.

Before dying, intense fear and confusion pervaded her blood and soul.

She took not just one kick, but three.

During the fight with Ye Fan’s martial blows, Ye Fan’s deadly kick landed on her chest, shattering her ribs and crushing her organs.

This explains why she was unable to die in peace.

It was too fast; she couldn’t imagine how such speed was possible.

Ye Fan glanced at the lifeless Lv Xinxin, then turned his gaze towards the door.

Because, someone was outside.
