Martial Master

That would have been manageable, but with Qin Yong, a peak Earth Level expert, involved, it becomes troublesome.

Moreover, if someone gets hurt, especially if it's mother, that would cause a significant problem.

"At this point, seeking rescue is already too late. Although Qin Yong poses some difficulties, he is not invincible. Besides, the enemy has already dispersed. It's best to first deal with the assassins targeting mother."

Qin Chen's eyes flickered as he made a quick decision and quietly followed along.

With his late first-level mental power, Qin Chen cloaked himself like a thin membrane, covering his body and blending into the night, making him undetectable.

He first trailed two assassins heading towards Qin Yuechi's room.

These two, one at the mid-Earth Level and the other at the early-Earth Level, moved with extreme caution, as silently as cats in the night.

Qin Chen swiftly closed in on them in the darkness.

"What's going on?" The mid-Earth Level assassin, accustomed to carrying out assassination missions, was highly sensitive. Suddenly sensing something unusual around him, it felt as if something strange was secretly observing him, causing him to stop abruptly and sharply look back.

Behind him was emptiness, a pitch-black void with no movement.

However, the feeling of being watched lingered in his mind, stubbornly refusing to dissipate.

The sensation was faint, hovering in his mind, impossible to trace back to a source.

"What is it, Ying San?" The other assassin beside him, seeing him pause, couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"It feels like there's someone nearby."

Ying San said in a deep voice, his gaze sweeping through the surrounding darkness like a sharp sword, his eyes glittering like stars.

"Impossible. Who else would be here apart from us?!" The other assassin started, hastily spreading his perception in an attempt to discover anything. But all around was emptiness; there was nothing. "Could you have perceived it wrong?"

"Could it really just be my mistake?"

Ying San furrowed his brows, noticing the sensation had suddenly vanished. However, he remained cautious, his eyes coldly scanning the surrounding darkness, his perception enveloping and sweeping through every inch.

"This guy's perception is indeed sharp; he could actually sense something unusual. It seems he must be a professional assassin."

Qin Chen's anger grew. The Qin family had hired professional assassins to deal with him and his mother. He employed a mental power secret technique, hiding seamlessly within the night.

Invisible mental power enveloped him, merging him with the night. Ying San's perception swept over him, but it was like passing through air, discovering nothing.

"Maybe I overthought it!" Realizing there was nothing around, Ying San breathed a sigh of relief.

He withdrew his perception. If he kept scanning, the resulting aura might easily alert others in the night. If the two targets Qin Yong wanted to deal with managed to escape, not only would he fail to receive his commission, he would also face trouble.

"Ying Qi, I'll enter from that side, you from this side. Let's wait for the employer's command. If after we strike, the target escapes towards you, make sure to block them. We can't afford any mistakes!" Ying San said after pondering slightly as the two reached the vicinity of Qin Yuechi's room.

"Rest assured, I've got this." Ying Qi replied with a low chuckle, considering the target this time was just a weak woman, incapable of any resistance.

After speaking, Ying San moved to the side. The estate Qin Yuechi purchased had several large ancient trees, and Ying San's form flickered a few times before disappearing into the night.

Seeing this, Ying Qi lazily leaned against one of the ancient trees, but his attention was sharply focused on Qin Yuechi's room, waiting for the signal from Qin Yong.

Seeing the two before him separate, Qin Chen's heart leapt with joy. A great opportunity!

Previously, with the two together, there hadn't been a chance to act. If he had killed one immediately, the noise would alert the others, and with Qin Yong leading them, he'd be in grave danger.
