Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2507: Chapter 2508: Stabbed in the Back

At this moment, a few of Tong Chengjin’s close followers quietly stepped forward.

"Second Stronghold Master, what should we do now?"

Tong Chengjin gritted his teeth and said, "What else can we do? Just follow him in!"

"But I think the Head of the Stronghold is completely targeting you today!"

"Of course I know that, but the more it is like this, the more I need to show him who has the better means! Besides, if we back out like this, wouldn’t all our previous efforts be in vain?"

Tong Chengjin said coldly, then stepped toward the restaurant.

But just as their group all entered the restaurant, a person appeared at the corner of the street.

This person was completely shrouded in a black robe, with only a pair of eyes exposed, looking extremely mysterious.

It was the descendant of the Ghost Nation, the last remaining girl of the corpse-driving clan.

At this moment.

She stared intently at the group from Gale Stronghold entering the restaurant, mumbling in a bewildered tone.

"What’s going on? The evil aura on the Head of the Stronghold was almost overflowing yesterday, why has it suddenly disappeared today?"

"No matter what, this person is definitely the minion of an evil creature. It’s just that before he was reclusive, and I never had a chance to get close to him. Today, such an opportunity is rare, I must bring him to justice in front of everyone to eradicate a minion of evil!"

As she spoke, the corpse-driving girl vanished into the crowd.

Since that day when she met Yangjian and settled in the teahouse, she had been wandering around Yunxiao City, trying to find traces of the evil creature, then eliminate it to ease some of her inner pain.

It’s just that her strength was far less than Xue An’s, and without the help of the earth veins, relying purely on luck wandering the city, how could she possibly find traces of the evil creature.

But coincidentally, that day she happened to pass by that little courtyard, and then by chance met Bao Huarong descending the small building.

At that time, Bao Huarong’s evil aura was astonishing.

Thus the corpse-driving girl recognized it at a glance, and then listed him as a must-kill target.

Unfortunately, Bao Huarong also knew his target was too conspicuous at the time, so he always hid in the courtyard, unwilling to show himself.

The corpse-driving girl tried several times but couldn’t get in. Just when she was at wit’s end, she didn’t expect this "Bao Huarong" today to come out voluntarily.

Not only did he come out, but he also swaggered into the restaurant to eat.

This was a golden opportunity for the corpse-driving girl, so she immediately infiltrated into the restaurant as well.

Perhaps the power of that Spirit Crystal was indeed formidable, as the shop attendant quickly arranged a few tables in the corner of the hall.

Although the place was somewhat cramped, it could still accommodate this group of rogues.

"Master, what would you like to eat?" The shop attendant greeted eagerly.

"Show me all your specialties, bring them all to me! Don’t worry about the cost, I have plenty of money!"

As he spoke, Xue An took the opportunity to toss a few pieces of Spirit Crystal onto the table.

"Yes, sir! I’ll get it arranged right away!"

The shop attendant happily picked up the Spirit Crystals on the table and hurried off to prepare.

In no time, steaming tea and pastries were served.

This group of rogues, who would appreciate tea, just gulped it down like plain water.

Xue An sat in the main seat with a cheerful smile, while the woman behind him looked quite at a loss.

She hadn’t expected the Head of the Stronghold to bring her out this time.

Wasn’t she always locked in a room on the second floor before?

As if sensing her unease, Xue An leaned back in his chair and said indifferently, "Pour the tea!"

Only then did the woman come to her senses, quickly stepping forward to pour tea for Xue An.

Perhaps she was too nervous, or maybe because so many people were watching her, in her panic, she accidentally knocked over the teapot beside her.

Scalding tea immediately spilled over the table, coincidentally burning Tong Chengjin sitting nearby.

Tong Chengjin flew into a rage, although a little scald was nothing to him, but to him, it was unforgivable for a lowly maid to dare scald him.

Thus he raised his hand and slapped the woman across the face.

Slap!

The slap was extremely loud, and the woman staggered back several steps, almost falling to the ground if not for grabbing a chair for support.

Blood trickled down from the corner of her mouth, causing the entire scene to fall into a silence.

Tong Chengjin, still angry, "Lowly maid, can’t you see? How dare you scald me, you’re just courting death!"

His words showed no regard for Xue An’s face at all. To him, this woman was just a toy for the Head of the Stronghold.

No matter what, he couldn’t believe that he would turn against him for a mere toy.

That’s why he acted with such impunity, to show off his might in front of everyone.

But this time he was wrong in his calculations.

Just when he stood up, preparing to further abuse the trembling woman, a cold voice came from the side.

"Tong Chengjin, such might you have!"

Hearing these words, Tong Chengjin, who had been aggressive, paused, turning his head to look at Xue An.

"Head of the Stronghold, what do you mean by this?"

"What do I mean? Haha! I should ask what you mean, this woman serves me, how dare you hit her?" Xue An said coldly.

The atmosphere in the room instantly grew intense.

This originally cheerful group of rogues all became silent as cicadas in the cold.

The woman, who didn’t expect the Head of the Stronghold to stand up for her, was stunned in place.

Xue An said calmly, "How you hit her just now, repay it in kind now!"

Tong Chengjin’s face turned extremely ugly, glaring at Xue An.

"Head of the Stronghold, are you really going to turn against your brothers for a woman?"

"It’s not turning against you, it’s you being shameless, understand?" Xue An said leisurely.

Tong Chengjin just wanted to speak, when he saw the wall behind Xue An suddenly burst open, and a figure rushed out, heading straight for Xue An’s back.

This all happened very fast. Before others could react, the figure was already behind Xue An.

Tong Chengjin’s eyes filled with joy.

No matter who was trying to assassinate Xue An, as long as this Head of the Stronghold died, he could justifiably take the top position.

But his happiness came a bit too soon. In this crucial moment, Xue An, sitting there, suddenly vanished.

The charging assassin couldn’t stop, and under the force of inertia, headed straight for Tong Chengjin.

Thud!

With a dull sound, a black blade pierced through Tong Chengjin’s chest.

In excruciating pain, he screamed, finally seeing the true face of the assassin under the black robe.

It was a monster with half of its body skeletal, and the other half that of a woman.

Unfortunately, no matter what he discovered, it was all too late, for at this moment, Xue An appeared by his side, urgently shouting.

"Quick, capture the assassin, someone is trying to kill the Second Stronghold Master!"

Although shouting like this, Xue An didn’t chase at all; instead, he pushed his hand forward.

Thud!

Tong Chengjin’s body was thrust forward, the black blade ripping a large tear through his back.

And the black blade seemed to be smeared with potent poison, for Tong Chengjin couldn’t even scream, all sounds blocked at his throat, his body convulsing unconsciously.

And the last sentence he heard before losing consciousness was Xue An’s shout.

"Second Stronghold Master, what’s wrong with you? You can’t die!"

This... this bastard, he framed me!

With this final thought, Tong Chengjin fell into eternal darkness.
