The Female Assassin Pretends to Be a Lamb in the Campus

Chapter 440

The three of them fought fiercely at the same time, the scene was thrilling, and the slightest carelessness would cost them their lives on the spot.

With two against one, Moon Shadow's joining made things easier for Flowing Shadow in an instant. The two had always been attuned to each other, their attacks seamless, and Diamond J found his pair of fists no match for four hands. He was showing signs of being suppressed.

However, for Moon Shadow and Flowing Shadow to kill Diamond J was no easy task either. Fighting bare-handed like this, according to all three’s abilities, they could keep fighting for at least twenty minutes.

So Qiao Ying, who didn’t have the patience to wait twenty minutes, made her move.

Diamond J found an opportunity to forcefully knock back Moon Shadow. Before he could respond to Flowing Shadow’s incoming attack, he was sneak attacked by Qiao Ying who had suddenly appeared, directly kicked out. Flowing Shadow’s fist followed closely, heavily smashing into Diamond J's chest.

Assassins fought without decency, especially Qiao Ying, never bothered with decency, only moods. So in her dictionary there were no words like "sneak attack", she always made a move without warning.

Diamond J heavily fell to the ground, spitting out mouthfuls of blood. He glanced at Qiao Ying, then swiftly got up and rushed toward the old king's family, the old and the young. They were so scared they kept retreating to escape.

Only Karina, who was disabled in a wheelchair, failed to get away, and was taken hostage by Diamond J.

Karina’s family members cried out in alarm, “Karina!”

“Don’t come over! Lin Cheng, make her stop, otherwise I’ll kill her.” Diamond J stood behind the wheelchair, one hand clutching Karina's neck, shouting Lin Cheng’s name, his gaze vigilant and apprehensive as he stared at Qiao Ying.

Karina didn’t dare move. “Duke Lin, save me.”

Lin Cheng’s sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly. Seeing Diamond J’s grip growing tighter and tighter, the little prince anxiously called out to him, “Duke Lin, hurry save Karina!”

Lin Cheng was a little helpless. “Miss Qiao...”

Before he could say anything,

Qiao Ying’s words rang out, “It would be best if you really could kill her.”

Diamond J breathed heavily in disorderly urgency, staring intently at Qiao Ying. “Don’t come over—Lin Cheng, I really will kill her!”

Qiao Ying walked step by step towards Diamond J, saying to Lin Cheng, “Why bother saving her? It would be just perfect if she died.”

Diamond J pulled the wheelchair in one hand, choking Karina's neck with the other, constantly carefully retreating backwards. He was surrounded on all sides.

Qiao Ying said, “Although you said you don't want anyone to die, I also said I wouldn't just stand by and watch you live or die. I was even thinking of how to help you resolve this engagement—with her death, you won't be forced into marriage. Isn't that good?”

Lin Cheng said, “This method isn’t very good, so...”

Qiao Ying was too lazy to listen to what Lin Cheng had to say, because she would never act according to his words anyway. Besides, Karina had tried to take her life again and again, in her eyes Karina was already someone destined to die.

Qiao Ying said, “You picked too preposterous a hostage. Of the people present, only Qin Hanyue’s life or death would I care about a little.”

Qin Hanyue: A little? Just...a little?

As Qiao Ying spoke, her pace quickened. The moment she finished speaking, she had already rushed in front of Diamond J.

Karina’s family was scared stiff, not daring to breathe loudly.

Diamond J had no time to kill Karina at all. In Karina’s fright, he directly pushed the wheelchair with Karina in it towards Qiao Ying, but this did nothing to slow Qiao Ying’s speed in killing him. After exchanging a few moves, the already heavily wounded Diamond J was beaten down by Qiao Ying until he couldn’t get up.

Still hoping to grasp a thread of life, Diamond J forced himself to say to Qiao Ying, “Although I didn't officially leave Dark Shadow, I almost don’t handle Dark Shadow’s affairs anymore, these years I almost never returned to Dark Shadow again. No matter how you see it, whether I’m an potential threat or not, whether I deserve to die or not, I have indeed already washed my hands and withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, and come here after changing my identity and name to stop interfering in Dark Shadow’s affairs.”

“JOKER summoned me back many times, and I found all kinds of excuses to decline every time. When Dark Shadow issued kill orders to assassins all over the world to kill you, I didn’t participate. Even when Dark Shadow was destroyed, I didn’t appear. Later, when you were in a vegetative state lying in bed, I didn’t take the chance to eliminate you. So why must you still relentlessly pursue me to the point of extermination?”

Qiao Ying twisted the corners of her lips lightly. “Listening to you, it seems you are indeed not deserving of death. Especially since I even received the grace of your tutelage.”

Diamond J said in bewilderment, “What did you say?”

Moon Shadow and Flowing Shadow both looked towards her. “Grace of tutelage?”

Just who was tutored?

Qiao Ying’s lips moved slightly as she murmured lightly, “I am her.”

Diamond J stared wide-eyed in shock. “What?”

Qiao Ying spoke plainly, but Moon Shadow and Flowing Shadow did not remain calm upon hearing it.

Moon Shadow said in disbelief, “Blood Shadow...? You didn't die?”

No wonder, no wonder she lost control when she learned the truth of Feng Ying's death. No wonder there were so many similarities between her and Blood Shadow. No wonder she was so familiar with Dark Shadow’s affairs.

He should have guessed earlier, only he had always been unable to confirm her identity.

Flowing Shadow unconsciously took a step forward. The genius boy, rarely seen losing composure, was in a mess: “So you really are that guy! I knew you were so alike. You didn't die, you had plastic surgery?”

There wasn’t even a trace of scars from plastic surgery left, her height, voice, everything had changed. How was that achieved?

Qiao Ying said speechlessly, “Who would get uglier from plastic surgery?”

Qin Hanyue looked at her blankly. Where was she uglier?

Flowing Shadow said, “Was it a human skin mask then?”

No, if it was a human skin mask, then wouldn’t she have worn two masks everyday when she was impersonating Qiao Yin previously?

Qiao Ying said, “That thing is toxic...whatever you say.”

Flowing Shadow said, “Don’t leave it at halfway, exactly what is going on?”

Qiao Ying said, “None of your business.”

Flowing Shadow said angrily, “You—”

Qiao Ying looked back to Diamond J. Her cold gaze was looking at a dead man. “You really should die with your eyes closed. JOKER and the rest, even when dying, were constantly asking me, yet died not knowing.”

“Wait a minute—” Diamond J covered his chest wound, struggling to retreat backwards, “You, you’re Blood Shadow.”

Qiao Ying looked at him, as if looking at whether he was deaf.

Diamond J said, “Blood Shadow, don't you want to know about your birth parents? They have always been looking for you!”

Qiao Ying said indifferently, “Not interested.”

To her, they were no different from strangers. Even if they had always been looking for her, it would be difficult for her to be moved by it. Kinship had never been something this assassin looked forward to or took initiative to seek out.

Yet Diamond J subtly glanced towards Lin Gu Li behind and to the right of Qiao Ying, then said, “Are you sure? Don’t you want to know why it was you? Your mother is a formidable legendary figure.”

Qiao Ying narrowed her eyes slightly.
