Chapter 167: International Assassin Alliance_1

Mackenzie let out a wail as his right hand was chopped off like wheat by a scythe by the throwing knife Xu Fan flung out.

Blood gushed from his wrist like water from a turned-on faucet.

Xu Fan’s ghostly figure flashed and he quickly appeared at Mackenzie’s side.

“Who on earth are you?” Mackenzie asked Xu Fan, each word spoken through clenched teeth to endure the pain in his wrist.

“What right do you have to ask for my name!” Xu Fan stomped down, pinning Mackenzie’s sturdy body to the ground beneath his foot.

“I refuse to accept this. I am the strongest sniper in Sanjiao State, and there’s no way I couldn’t hit you!” Mackenzie, stepped on like a dog by Xu Fan, still clutched his severed wrist, speaking in disbelief.

Xu Fan bent down and gently tapped thrice on Mackenzie’s right arm.

As soon as Xu Fan made his move, Mackenzie felt his left arm lose sensation and, miraculously, even the spraying blood from his wrist stopped bleeding.

Xu Fan had merely used an acupoint-sealing technique on a major point in Mackenzie’s left arm. With the speed Mackenzie was losing blood, he only had seconds before he bled out. Xu Fan spared his life for the moment as there were questions he needed answers to, and so he temporarily stopped the severe bleeding.

“Come, see see me,” Xu Fan said to Mackenzie in his accented English.

Mackenzie seemed to understand Xu Fan’s words and turned over to face him, eager to get a good look at the enemy who swiftly defeated both him and Sandru.

The moment Mackenzie turned around, he saw Xu Fan’s eyes, dark as a starry night.

It appeared as though Xu Fan’s eyes contained countless stars. Mackenzie only took one glance before feeling as if he was surrounded by the vast cosmos.

Of course, that was Mackenzie’s illusion. Xu Fan had used his Eye of Soul Capture, and with one gaze, he took control of Mackenzie’s mind.

Xu Fan couldn’t understand Mackenzie’s foreign babbling, so he resorted to telepathic control to gather intelligence.

As soon as the Eye of Soul Capture made contact with Mackenzie’s gaze, he fell under the control of the fantasy in Xu Fan’s eyes. After Xu Fan’s Sea of Consciousness had been enhanced, the Eye of Soul Capture’s power was also amplified. It could not only immerse an enemy in the starlight emitted by his eyes but also allow for instant, barrier-free communication through the Sea of Consciousness.

“Speak, who sent you? What are you? Who sent you?” Xu Fan asked Mackenzie.

“We are members of the Shadow Feather Assassination Group, under the second-largest Black Glove Family in America. The guy you hit earlier is my partner, Sandru. We were formerly special forces in Sanjiao State of America. We were just in Yan Country for vacation, but during our break, we got a contract mission, and it just so happens the target was in Zhonghai City. Thus, our organization canceled our leave and sent us here to deal with you,” Mackenzie, now under the control of Xu Fan’s Sea of Consciousness, had become a puppet, revealing everything without reservation.

“Who is your employer?” Xu Fan asked once more.

“We don’t know his exact name because we only accept missions dispatched by the organization. However, he previously used a mobile phone to send us intelligence about you. You could try looking up his identity through the phone number,” Mackenzie said honestly. By now, the color had drained from his pupils, and he appeared like an automaton.

Following Xu Fan’s command, Mackenzie pulled out his phone from his pocket, and showed the intelligence sent by Detective Cai Xiangdong to Xu Fan.

Seeing that familiar phone number on the mobile, Xu Fan grew angry. It was that damn guy with the gold-rimmed glasses again, stirring up trouble. He couldn’t believe that local gangs weren’t enough for him, he’d even found an international assassin to kill him. It was just like a returned overseas student to have such formidable connections.

In his heart, Xu Fan had already silently decided Cai Xiangdong’s fate. The man had a sinister heart, and Xu Fan would retaliate without fail. If he had time, he would certainly personally take Cai Xiangdong’s life.

“Tell me about your organization. Where does your combat power rank within it?” Xu Fan asked Mackenzie again.

As the saying goes, know the enemy and know yourself, and you will never be defeated.

Xu Fan didn’t care about local thugs like Brother Long, but these two foreign assassins made him cautious.

Merely two individuals who weren’t even considered martial artists, armed with a sniper rifle, had the opportunity to threaten his life. If their organization was vast, the pressure Xu Fan faced in the future would only be greater.

“Sir, our organization is the second-largest Black Glove Organization in America. However, our assassination group doesn’t even make the top ten in the country. Our rank on the assassin leaderboard is roughly around the 1000th place. In the Assassin Alliance, there are many more formidable characters than us. It seems they possess magical superpowers just like you and don’t need powerful weapons to wield ‘Destroy Heaven and Earth’ kind of strength. These individuals usually don’t take on missions lightly, but once they do, it’s a massacre,” Mackenzie said, trembling, his complexion turning deathly pale from blood loss, looking like a zombie.

“Damn,” Xu Fan was somewhat surprised. He had already encountered martial artists in Yan Country, but he did not expect that there would be similar superpowered beings abroad.

But then Xu Fan thought about it and felt it was normal. The Ghost Life Twelve he had killed two days ago were apprentices trained by Onmyoji from the Eastern lands. Their skills were sinister and strange, not only did they drink human blood, but they also looked like skeletons.

If even the tiny land of the Eastern ghosts could produce Onmyoji with such special abilities, then surely the vast continents of Europe and America also harbored superpowered beings.

“If you die here and the mission remains unfinished, how will your organization handle it?” Xu Fan asked.

“Sandru and myself hold a certain status in our organization. If we die here, the organization will not let it go easily. I think they will send someone to investigate the cause of our death. Moreover, once the perpetrator is found, our organization will even issue a bounty on the World Assassin Alliance, with the top assassins coming after them. Those are superpowered beings with special abilities, and there are hardly any missions they cannot complete,” Mackenzie replied honestly.

This news shocked Xu Fan as well.

He had thought killing these two foreigners would be the end of it, but it turned out to be like stirring up a hornet’s nest.

Now there’s an Assassin Alliance out for revenge on their behalf, and at this moment, Xu Fan felt like cursing out loud.

You’re the Assassin Alliance, not the Avengers Alliance, how unlucky.
