Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

A strange smile flashed in the lord's eyes.

He turned around quickly and grabbed the golden scepter.

There was a loud bang.

A bullet shot from the top of the scepter, heading straight for Qin Quan's forehead.

Immediately afterwards, he turned the handle of the scepter, and a slender, thin willow-leaf sword instantly sprang out, which he grasped in his backhand.

A flash of cold light pierced straight at Qin Quan's throat.

The movements were fluid and executed in one smooth motion.

The three deadly moves targeted Qin Quan's three vital points. In Lord Jue's view, even a god could not escape, and death was inevitable.

"Kid, you're still too young!"

The lord laughed wildly, victory seemingly assured.

"I noticed you the moment you left Michelin. How could I lower your guard if the act had to be convincing?"

"Today, if I kill you, I will gain both fame and fortune, and the lark will become my possession for life!"

"court death!"

Qin Quan was enraged, his killing intent surging. Facing the three consecutive attacks, he neither dodged nor evaded, preparing to take them head-on.

Qin Ling felt a chill for Qin Quan for no apparent reason. She didn't dare to breathe loudly, afraid of disturbing him. She could only stare intently at the battle, her heart pounding in her throat.

"You're stubborn as a mule, die!"

The lord roared, his killing intent almost tangible, and his willow-leaf sword shot out like a venomous snake, aiming straight for Qin Quan's throat.

No sooner said than done.

Three deadly moves arrived in the blink of an eye!

Qin Quan remained calm and slowly raised his hands, his powerful true energy rising in his palms, and golden light flashed.

He suddenly grabbed forward, and the six darts were instantly grasped in his palm, leaving them no room to struggle.

Immediately afterwards, he flicked his wrist, and the dart shot out like a blur, accurately hitting the rapidly approaching bullet.

Clang!

The bullet was instantly shattered into pieces!

The dart continued its trajectory with undiminished momentum, carrying a devastating killing intent, heading straight for the willow-leaf sword in the lord's hand!

"not good!"

The lord sensed the terrifying power contained in the dart and was immediately terrified.

The willow-leaf sword in his hand seemed to have encountered its natural enemy; its momentum collapsed, the blade swayed, and it emitted a resentful sword cry.

In the blink of an eye, the lord felt a sharp pain in his arm.

The dart pierced his wrist instantly.

puff!

Blood gushed out, and the willow-leaf sword clattered to the ground with a crisp sound.

"what!"

The lord clutched his bleeding wrist, writhing in excruciating pain; the blood instantly stained the carpet red.

"Who...who exactly are you?"

"Ling'er, before the poison takes effect, let's finish this quickly and not waste any time."

Qin Quan gave an irrelevant answer, and from beginning to end, he didn't even open his eyes to look at the Duke.

Qin Ling was stunned by this shocking scene and didn't even react when Qin Quan called her by her nickname.

It wasn't until the Lord's roar echoed in her ears that she snapped back to reality, immediately stepped forward, took out her phone, and activated the Wind and Rain Tower Assassin System.

He grabbed the lord's long hair, used facial recognition, fingerprint login, and points transfer.

In less than half a minute, he transferred all the points and savings in the lord's account to his own name.

"With the points secured, his life or death is no longer of any concern."

Qin Ling's voice was icy, and there was not a trace of pity in her eyes.

"No! You can't kill me!"

Seeing this, the lord panicked completely and roared:

"I know where your master is. Please, spare my life!"

"Master?"

Qin Ling's expression changed drastically. She grabbed the Duke by the neck, her eyes fierce, and questioned him sharply.

"Speak! Where is my master? If you don't tell me, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Just then, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the Duke's lips. Ignoring the excruciating pain in his arm, he suddenly exerted force, pulling Qin Ling into his arms, while his other hand gripped her neck tightly. He roared at Qin Quan:

"Kid, let me go, or I'll take her down with me even if I die."

"Kill me if you want, what's it to me?"

Qin Quan's eyes were indifferent, and his tone was completely flat.

Trying to threaten him? No way!

"You are the killers, and I am the target. Only when you two die will I be the biggest beneficiary."

"Qin Quan!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ling trembled with anger and was filled with remorse.

Just when it seemed the Duke was doomed, Qin Quan unexpectedly played the trick of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, she was like a sandwich filling, completely at the mercy of others, caught in a dilemma.

"Calling me won't do any good."

Qin Quan sat imposingly on the Simmons bed, his eyes sweeping over the two of them with a mocking gaze.

"You can kill each other, I'll just watch the show."

The lord was completely stunned, his face filled with disbelief that Qin Quan would say such a thing.

"Aren't you all in cahoots? Shouldn't the plot be that you compromise and let me go in order to save her?"

"If you want to leave, then leave. Nobody's stopping you."

Qin Quan simply lit a cigarette and slowly puffed away, thoroughly enjoying himself.

The lord was instantly caught in a dilemma.

The Qin Ling in his arms was not a hostage at all, but clearly a burden.

Regardless of whether Qin Quan was putting on an act or acting seriously, he had to leave as soon as possible, otherwise he would surely die once the poison in the dart spread.

Driven by the will to survive, the lord quickly came up with an idea.

He shoved Qin Ling toward Qin Quan and roared:

"You guys keep having fun, I'm heading out first!"

Before he finished speaking, he retreated rapidly, wanting only to escape this place of trouble as quickly as possible.

But Qin Quan had already anticipated his prediction. He flicked the cigarette butt from his fingertip, and like an arrow released from a bow, it accurately shot towards the Duke's calf.

puff!

The cigarette butt pierced through his flesh, and the lord instantly lost his balance.

It slammed hard to the ground with a thud, screaming in pain.

"Ah...didn't you say you were just going to watch the show and mind your own business?"

The lord convulsed in pain, his eyes filled with resentment and venom.

"You must have misheard me. How could I say such a thing?"

Qin Quan revealed a harmless smile and slowly took out a fire-controlling talisman from his pocket.

"Don't worry, travel in peace!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the blue flames surged instantly, engulfing the Duke in a flash, and the heart-wrenching screams came to an abrupt halt.

He didn't even have a chance to struggle before he was burned to ashes.

As a gentle breeze swept in through the window, it utterly reduced him to ashes.

Seeing this ruthless method, Qin Ling froze on the spot.

I felt a chill run down my spine and was still shaken.

Fortunately, Qin Quan harbored no ill will towards her; otherwise, given the grudge from her three failed assassination attempts, she would have ended up like the Duke.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? Did I scare you?"

Qin Quan waved his hand in front of Qin Ling.

She finally came to her senses, forced a smile that was more like a grimace, and whispered:

"Thank you."

"Don't mention it. I'll help you all the way through. If I'm going to help someone, I'll see it through to the end."

With a wave of his hand, Qin Quan erased the signs of the fight in the room. He picked up the Duke's violin and scepter, then smeared his face haphazardly.

His originally handsome face instantly transformed into that of a nobleman.

Qin Ling was shocked and instinctively stepped back.

If you look closely, you can see that her legs are trembling slightly, and her voice is shaking violently.

"You...how did you become like him?"

"Only in this way will Fengyulou not suspect you of the Duke's death."

Qin Quan did this for one purpose only: to protect Qin Ling.

If the investigation by Fengyu Tower reveals that Qin Ling and Lord Jue entered the room together, but Qin Ling left alone while Lord Jue disappeared, she would undoubtedly be the prime suspect.

In particular, she also transferred the Lord's points and all his savings.

Every check is accurate.

"Get ready and come with me."

"Oh……"

Qin Ling was originally a top-notch assassin with a genius-level IQ, but in front of Qin Quan, she was like a helpless child, always thinking ahead of Qin Quan and considering her needs in every way.

But what do I have that makes him want to go to such lengths for me?

After thinking it over and over, she couldn't think of any other reason besides being young and beautiful.

"Could it be... that he really has feelings for me?"
