Chapter 41 Shen hope on the Verge of Death
"Hurry up!"
Shen hope shouted and used his foot to pick up the dagger from the ground, then charged towards the seven or eight assassins blocking the doorway.
Lin Zheng knew that he would die if he hesitated for even a second at this moment.
They turned and ran, Shen hope pointing his dagger at their throats with flashing blades, but most of the time they managed to dodge it by sidestepping.
Fortunately, she seemed to be faster than the group, and one or two people still suffered cuts to their necks, but none of them were fatal.
The opposing leader exclaimed in surprise:
"What amazing skills! No wonder the employer was willing to spend so much money to have our whole team kill you!"
Shen hope said coldly, "A bunch of despicable people! If any of you had come to me alone, I guarantee none of you would have survived!"
"Actually, we also wanted to come to see you separately, but the employer was too cautious. He was afraid we couldn't win, so he sent those seventy or eighty people as the vanguard. I didn't think it was necessary at first, but now I regret it and take back what I said before. It was absolutely necessary."
Shen hope snorted and kicked the speaker's arm with a powerful kick.
The opponent couldn't dodge in time, and his arm was deformed and dislocated on the spot. However, the next moment, the other teammates dislocated the arm and put it back in place.
Shen hope was impressed by the depth of experience of this group of people.
Such rapid, ad-hoc handling is something that only highly professional assassination teams could accomplish with such skill.
Countless weapons slashed towards her, and the enemy's numerous numbers allowed their attacks to intersect, creating a synergistic effect.
Shen hope tried her best to dodge, but her arm was still slashed.
Blood was seeping from the tear in his casual clothes.
The man chuckled, "Stop struggling. Can't you see that neither of you can escape today? Do you really think you can beat us with a child in your arms?"
Shen hope stared at her bleeding arm.
Gritting her teeth, she forcefully plunged the dagger into a man's throat. The man had anticipated Shen hope's actions, but he hadn't expected this woman to be so incredibly strong.
He had clearly tried to block the other person's arm with his own, but the powerful force pushed his arm back down.
He used a blocking stance to strike the throat with the dagger.
One person died.
The assassin team members all widened their eyes upon seeing this.
Shen hope drew his dagger and stared at them:
"I really don't see why we can't escape today. A bunch of grown men ganging up on a defenseless woman and a young master who looks like an eighty-year-old man. I really admire you guys for taking on any mission without feeling ashamed."
During his escape, Lin Zheng became curious about what a young master who looked like an eighty-year-old man meant.
Even if my combat power isn't high right now, it shouldn't be that bad.
And can you be considered a woman who is completely defenseless?
Seeing their companion killed, the group completely lost their appetite for conversation, their anger visibly palpable: "Woman, you talk too much! You dared to kill one of our men, you're asking for death!"
Shen hope snorted lightly: "You're the first to say I talk too much."
She rushed forward to fight those people, even though she had done her best to protect Lin Zheng, but there were simply too many of them.
There are still one or two people that Shen Xiying is unable to attend to.
They rushed towards Lin Zheng.
"Young Master Lin!"
Shen hope looked worried and wanted to get away to protect Lin Zheng, but the enemy was as sticky as a piece of chewing gum.
The two men were about to stab Lin Zheng in the back as he fled.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zheng picked up a short steel bar from somewhere while running and hid it in his hand. He then turned around and tried to stab someone in the head.
Unfortunately, despite the difference in strength, the attack did not hit the enemy directly, but the sudden counterattack successfully evaded the enemy's assassination attempt, forcing the enemy to block it.
Another person thrust a dagger into Lin Zheng's chest, and Lin Zheng quickly stepped back.
The dagger only pierced the clothes and did not injure the flesh.
This simple action took Shen hope and the others by surprise.
They asked in unison, "You're also a former assassin?"
Lin Zheng looked at the knife that had almost killed him and smiled awkwardly:
"No, I just learned it. I thought Miss Shen's move of dodging bullets and retreating was really cool, so I tried to imitate it. Unfortunately, I'm not that fast. So this is something only assassins do? You should have said so earlier. Do I need to pay an apprenticeship fee?"
Fortunately, I had three points of combat strength, otherwise I would have died just now.
Damn it, can I add points back now?
It would be great if I could reset my skill points every time I encountered a problem.
This system is not intelligent at all.
Although Lin Zheng's movements were still a bit clumsy, Shen hope couldn't help but smile. If Lin Zheng were an ordinary person, she felt there was only a 60% chance he would escape.
If Lin Zheng knew even a single move, he would have no problem leaving this place alive.
Shen hope quickly stepped in front of Lin Zheng and repelled the two men.
She glanced at Lin Zheng behind her out of the corner of her eye: "This is the first time I've wanted to praise Young Master Lin since I've known him for so many days. Hurry up and leave, I promise you can leave today."
"You should come too!"
Shen hope said like a wooden doll, "Although Young Master Lin just wished for my death, I might not actually die. Don't worry about me, just take care of yourself."
"Look, you've wronged me again."
"Stop talking nonsense, or you won't be able to leave!"
"What nonsense am I spouting? I've never stopped running!" Lin Zheng said as he ran, without pausing for a moment, and was already far away.
Shen hope turned around, embarrassed. "You scoundrel, really! Is this what you call walking together?"
But the dog's timing was perfect, so I won't curse you in my heart.
Then, relying on the few tricks he had learned, plus Shen hope's ability to block most of the attacks.
Even if only one or two people occasionally rush towards Lin Zheng, he can easily deal with them, thus waiting for Shen hope to come and help him.
However, Shen hope's frequent looking around caused his physical strength to decline several times faster.
Originally, he only had one injury after half a day, but as the fight went on, his arms, back, and other parts of his body were slashed with seven or eight more by the enemy.
Although no more enemies died, three or five were wounded.
Shen hoped that he had already run to the door and that he would be safe once he got in the car. No matter how skilled these people were, they couldn't possibly catch up with the sports car.
Successful.
However... I'm afraid I'm really going to die here today. How could I, Shen hope, die in a place like this?
To die at the hands of someone whose skill level is far inferior to mine, without even having a proper goodbye to President Jiang.
There were many things I didn't have time to do, but... at least I was fortunate enough to see President Jiang happy before I died.
When President Jiang marries this scoundrel in the future, he shouldn't bore President Jiang.
Between contemplation and the fight, dozens of highly poisonous darts were thrown at him, which Shen hope simply blocked with his dagger.
Unexpectedly, a man with extremely fast movements grabbed a knife and stabbed it towards his own chest in the next second.
He timed it precisely at the exact moment Shen hope blocked the dart. In that split second, Shen hope's eyes caught the deadly poison coated on the dagger; if it pierced him, he would surely die.
But she no longer had time to dodge the attack.
"Woman! It's over!"
"End your head!" A flying steel bar blocked the fatal blow, surprising both the attacker and Shen hope.
The moment Lin Zheng threw the steel bar, he grabbed Shen hope's hand:
"Are you an idiot? You've already protected me to the door, so why don't you hurry up and walk together? Are you really planning to die here alone! And then I have to come back and drag you away!"
