Chapter 77: Temptation in Full Measure

"Temptation! Full temptation!" As soon as Qin Yue said this, Ye Huang seemed to be injected with adrenaline, instantly becoming a hundred times more energetic. His eyes gleamed with excitement as he shouted to Qin Yue, who had already run into the Qīngguó Qīngchéng, "Don't worry, give me fifteen minutes! Remember what you just said, whoever backs out is a dog!"

After shouting, Ye Huang turned around, his eyes instantly turning cold. In a low, deep voice, he said to Cán Yuè and Gū Láng, "It's not convenient here. Let's find a place to talk!"

Cán Yuè and Gū Láng did not object to Ye Huang's suggestion. This place was the most bustling area of Yucheng, and if a battle were to break out here, it would certainly cause a huge commotion, making it difficult to escape.

Moreover, both of them understood that Blood Asura's pride would never allow him to flee in the middle of a fight.

After walking for a few minutes, the three of them arrived at a sandy beach by the Yangtze River. Ye Huang turned around and said to Cán Yuè and Gū Láng, "Speak! What do you want from me? I don't seem to have any grudges with you?"

"Blood Asura, it's rumored that you are the world's top assassin. I, Gū Láng, am not convinced and have come today to challenge you, to see if the so-called top assassin is overrated!"

"I have never claimed to be the world's top assassin; that's just something people made up. If you came here just for that, you can leave right now. Besides, you seem to have forgotten that I retired from the assassin world a year ago, so the question of being the top or not no longer applies!"

"Hmph! Whether you admit it or not, since I'm here, you must accept the challenge!" Gū Láng said with a bloodthirsty look in his eyes, sounding rather domineering.

"Everyone says Gū Láng is unreasonable and tyrannical, and today I see it's true! But you wouldn't have just come here to spar, right? Let's get to the point. I remember I don't have any good relations with your Polaris!"

Ye Huang said this calmly, while Cán Yuè's face twitched, thinking to himself, "You killed over a hundred of my Polaris members and still expect a good relationship? That's a dream!"

"Blood Asura, today Gū Láng and I came to Yucheng for two reasons. First, we heard that when you betrayed the New Moon, you took something very important with you. We, Polaris, are very interested in it and want you to give it up."

Upon hearing this, Ye Huang's eyebrows furrowed, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.

"A year ago, when I was wreaking havoc in the New Moon, I sensed the presence of Polaris. I guess you've been coveting what I have all along. They say Polaris has close ties with the United States, and it seems to be true. So, someone wants to take that thing back?"

Back then, when Ye Huang was fighting the New Moon's many enforcers over Fengling, he sensed the shadow of Polaris. Now, with Cán Yuè's mention, he understood what they wanted.

"You don't need to know that. All you need to do is hand over that thing today. Otherwise, you know the consequences."

"What? If I don't hand it over, you want to kill me? You need to have the ability for that. Do you think you have it?"

Seeing Cán Yuè threaten him, Ye Huang snorted coldly, his face turning even colder. He hated it the most when people tried to intimidate him, no matter who they were.

"Try it and see. Although Blood Asura's name is indeed famous, I heard that you were seriously injured in the battle with the New Moon's four enforcers. Your pale face suggests you haven't fully recovered, right?"

The latter looked at Ye Huang's slightly pale face and sneered inwardly. This time, he and Gū Láng came prepared. Blood Asura had fought the New Moon's four enforcers for two days and two nights, almost depleting his energy, and ultimately fled with serious injuries. He didn't believe such severe injuries could heal so quickly.

"Ha ha, it seems you came prepared. What about the second thing? Can you tell me?"

Ye Huang wasn't surprised that they had figured out his injuries hadn't fully healed. Back then, he killed two of the four enforcers and seriously injured the other two, almost losing his own life. Although he had recovered a lot over the past year, he hadn't fully regained his former strength.

These two scoundrels really picked the right time to come after him!

"The second thing is to take your life! People like you, who betray organizations, shouldn't be allowed to live! Someone is offering twenty million dollars to take your life, and it's a good deal."

Gū Láng, standing to the side, played with his cold, gleaming knives, saying arrogantly.

Gū Láng's words made Ye Huang's face turn extremely dark, his eyes as cold as the depths of hell, staring sharply at Gū Láng, who couldn't help but shiver.

"Do you know what? Just for that, I have no reason to let you leave today!"

"Ha ha... Many people have said that to me. Blood Asura, although you are very strong, I, Gū Láng, will still take your life today. Cán Yuè, stop wasting time and just kill him!"

As he spoke, Gū Láng, who had been laughing wildly, suddenly rushed towards Ye Huang. Midway, his figure disappeared, and two thin, silver knives with cold gleams flew rapidly towards Ye Huang.

Seeing this, Ye Huang's eyes twitched, and he snorted coldly, shouting, "I thought you, Gū Láng, were some great being. Turns out you're just a minor ninja from the Sun Country, showing off your petty skills!"

Ye Huang closed his eyes and calmly sensed the changes in the surrounding atmosphere, as if in a deep meditative state, completely unconcerned about the flying knives.

Sun Country ninjutsu emphasizes stealth and attacking from the shadows. Most of the overt techniques are not very lethal.
