Chapter 240: Chapter 239: Master?At that moment, Ye Huan’s expression suddenly turned cold, and his left hand formed a hand blade as he struck fiercely into the air.

    The speed was so fast that it was impossible to see the afterimage!

    The only thing visible was the hand blade constantly colliding with the blade beams, sparks shooting out!

    The incredibly sharp blade beams couldn’t cut through the skin and muscle of his hand.

    Not only could they not cut through, but they also kept producing metallic clanging sounds.

    Hundred Transformations Joker’s face changed drastically, knowing she couldn’t wait any longer!

    She lunged forward, her right hand, holding a dagger, directly slashing towards Ye Huan’s throat...

    "Bang!"

    Ye Huan, while dealing with the blade beams with his left hand, extended his right hand to resist Hundred Transformations Joker’s attack.

    After blocking the attack with his right hand, he grasped Hundred Transformations Joker’s wrist with a gentle force, then...

    Suddenly seized the Dragon Phoenix Dagger!

    At the moment the dagger was seized, seeing Ye Huan lift his toe, Hundred Transformations Joker’s pupils shrank, and she swiftly retreated.

    But it was useless!

    Ye Huan’s speed was faster than hers!

    "Bang!"

    A kick, directly in the abdomen!

    Hundred Transformations Joker’s body fell backward like a meteor, hitting the wall of the bedroom, creating a large dent before stopping.

    She clutched her abdomen, spitting out fresh blood, which flowed down the gaps between her mask and face.

    "Beauty, the Invisible Ninjato is not used that way. How about I teach you?"

    Ye Huan chuckled coldly. The two or three hundred blade beams that Hundred Transformations Joker had slashed out in the air had been completely blocked by his hand blade.

    "You dare to look down on my Invisible Ninjato!?"

    Just as she roared, Hundred Transformations Joker’s eyes behind the mask widened to the size of eggs, filled with shock.

    Ye Huan, holding the dagger, was slashing continuously in the air at an almost invisible speed.

    In just one second, ten thousand snow-white blade beams gathered in the air, the chilling reflection stabbing so fiercely that Hundred Transformations Joker couldn’t open her eyes behind the mask!

    And these blade beams were directly cutting towards Hundred Transformations Joker!

    "Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish!"

    The sound of tens of thousands of wind-breaking slashes rang in unison. Sёarch* The novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Hundred Transformations Joker’s whole body trembled.

    Ten thousand blade beams could definitely turn any object to dust in an instant!

    In the following two seconds, Hundred Transformations Joker noticed countless winds brushing past her body...

    A few seconds later, she realized her body still felt no pain.

    What was going on? Was she actually...not dead?

    Hundred Transformations Joker struggled to open her eyes.

    The first thing she saw was Ye Huan standing in place with a calm expression.

    Swallowing her throat uneasily, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, she turned her head to look at the wall where she had just fallen...

    Seeing the fragmented wall, Hundred Transformations Joker couldn’t stop her body from shivering.

    She realized that those ten thousand blade beams, if even one more had been slightly more centered, could have easily cut her down on the spot.

    Not only could he unleash ten thousand blades in an instant, but he could also control the dagger so precisely!?

    This...how could this possibly be the fifteenth-ranked assassin!?

    She, the second-ranked assassin, had no power to fight back in front of him. His skill was at least on par with the first-ranked assassin!

    Breaking him down in twelve hours? What a joke!

    Ridiculous that One-Eyed Dragon and White Impermanence dared to oppose him? They must have a death wish!

    Moreover...

    He actually knew the Invisible Ninjato!

    Not only knew it, but used it with such skill, capable of slashing over ten thousand blades in a second!

    With a "thud."

    Hundred Transformations Joker suddenly knelt in front of Ye Huan, kowtowing three times with a resounding voice: "Master, please accept this disciple’s greeting!"

    Ye Huan looked calm, but his eyes twitched severely.

    In his plan, the assassin sent to kill him couldn’t die, at least not now, because the subsequent plan needed this assassin’s cooperation to complete.

    Seeing that this assassin knew Kagami Ninjutsu and the Invisible Ninjato, for some reason, he decided not to kill her.

    But not wanting to kill her didn’t mean he wanted to take her as a disciple!

    He had only shown some "low-level skills," and she was impressed?

    Ye Huan, with a head full of black lines, tossed the Dragon Phoenix Dagger back to Hundred Transformations Joker, then coldly asked, "Where is my woman?"

    "Master, rest assured, disciple has not harmed the master’s wife, just made her fall asleep." Hundred Transformations Joker put the Dragon Phoenix Dagger back in her black robe, then bowed respectfully to Ye Huan after standing up.

    "I am not your master, and besides...I know she’s fine."

    Ye Huan replied flatly, his words not baseless.

    He had never doubted his intuition, otherwise he would have long perished in the cannibalistic Dark World.

    His intuition told him that Zhang Huimin hadn’t suffered any harm. Even though he felt a bit annoyed, he believed it.

    Afterward, he followed Hundred Transformations Joker to the cloakroom on the first floor.

    Entering the cloakroom, Hundred Transformations Joker opened the wardrobe.

    Zhang Huimin was curled up like a kitten, asleep inside the wardrobe.

    Ye Huan cradled her in a princess carry, then glanced coldly at Hundred Transformations Joker, "When will she wake up?"

    "Reporting to Master, the master’s wife will wake around seven tomorrow morning. The anesthetic I used is non-toxic and won’t harm the body. Please rest assured." Hundred Transformations Joker replied respectfully.

    "First of all, I’m not your master; secondly, if it were harmful, you’d already be dead."

    "Yes, Master."

    "I said, I’m not your master, and I won’t take you as a disciple."

    "Yes, Master."

    "You..."

    Ye Huan, with a darkened face, didn’t pay any more attention to Hundred Transformations Joker, and carried Zhang Huimin out of the cloakroom.

    The walls, the bedframe, even the bedding and other items in the bedroom on the second floor had been slashed to pieces by the blade beams, clearly making it impossible to sleep there.

    So Ye Huan carried Zhang Huimin into the guest room on the first floor, carefully placing her on the single bunk bed, then found some bedding to cover her.

    Afterward, Ye Huan left the guest room and gently closed the door behind him.

    ...

    In the living room.

    "Not sitting down?" Ye Huan said blandly.

    "How could I dare to sit with the Master?" Hundred Transformations Joker stood directly opposite Ye Huan, her head bowed respectfully.

    Ye Huan’s expression turned dark again, but he didn’t bother with the issue of how Hundred Transformations Joker addressed him.

    Taking a sip of tea, he asked blandly, "From the Kagami family?"

    "Kagami Reina."

    "Not a man, huh? Your name sounds like a woman’s." Ye Huan chuckled coldly.

    "Master, it’s always better to have multiple identities to ensure survival in the martial world, I hope you understand."

    This calm reply made Ye Huan’s mouth twitch. Since when did the Japanese learn to ’walk the martial world’?

    After some inner grumbling, Ye Huan then asked, "Is there anyone left in the Kagami family, just you?"

    "Master, I’m sorry, this question brings up my saddest memories, so I can’t answer." Kagami Reina’s reply was straightforward and concise.

    These words were uttered in an emotionless synthesized voice, making them extraordinarily strange.

    Ye Huan didn’t continue the line of questioning about the Kagami family and asked, "White Impermanence sent you?"

    Kagami Reina shook her head, "No, to be precise, it was One-Eyed, and behind One-Eyed was White Impermanence. So yes, Master, your assumption stands."

    Ye Huan was stunned, feeling awkward.

    "I was just asking casually, and you spilled the beans about the people behind you without even thinking. Does your conscience really not bother you!

    In ancient times, you’d be drowned for such betrayals!"

    More inner grumbling followed.

    Then, Ye Huan coldly asked, "You would really sell out the people behind you like that?"

    Kagami Reina replied without hesitation, "If Master hadn’t shown mercy with that Invisible Ninjato, I’d be dead already. So, my debt to One-Eyed is repaid, and this life now belongs to the master who spared me."

    Listening to these words, a deep sense of amusement spread across Ye Huan’s face.

    After chuckling softly, he posed a soul-searching question:

    "If I sent you on an assassination mission, but the intel was wrong, and the target was actually stronger than both of us, and his Invisible Ninjato was even more precise than mine."

    "You fail the assassination, but he spares your life at the last moment. Then, he asks you who is behind you."

    "Would you answer and sell me out?"
