Chapter 104 A Night Doomed to be Uneasy

"The Konoha Wind Bird... is indeed not easy to deal with. However, a bounty of 100 million for a powerless little girl is higher than the bounty for the Wind Bird. Hehehe, this is a good deal..."

The man pondered secretly, a chilling smile showing on his face beneath the mask.

In this world, only money is the most perfect existence.

Yue Le and his friends had no idea about the undercurrents in the black market.

Of course, even if he knew it, Yue Le would at most be on high alert. At this time, the group continued to move forward, but because of Shang Ge Weixu's physical condition and some damage to the carriage, the group's speed slowed down a bit.

The original plan to reach Sanshi City today now seems impossible. There was no other way. At night, Yue Le took the group to find a slightly open grassland to rest. The terrain was slightly open, which could avoid being surrounded by the enemy.

Of course, it is also convenient to take the client away from the scene in time.

..........

This night is destined not to be peaceful...

Yue Le, who was sitting under a tree with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes and whispered to the three people in charge of keeping watch: "There are enemies, the number is unknown, you protect the client." Although the voice was not loud, it revealed a solemn meaning, making the atmosphere around them tense.

Just now, Fei suddenly felt a nauseating breath and moved around restlessly, as if he had seen something disgusting.

At this moment, Yue Le understood instantly that this meant that there might be danger approaching quietly nearby. Without saying a word, he stood up and jumped into the darkness. His figure disappeared in a flash, like a ghost, leaving behind only the three people who were on high alert.

The black cat nodded to the two of them, and then, with lightning agility, he leaped onto a big tree and hid lightly among the dense branches and leaves. He cleverly used the cover of the night and the leaves to conceal himself perfectly, as if he had merged into the night as if it were a natural thing.

In comparison, Yue Le is more like an excellent assassin, while she is more like a professional ninja who knows how to be patient and wait for the best time to attack.

Kai and Hong stayed where they were, guarding the carriage. Hong held a sharp kunai tightly in her hand. At this moment, she didn't know what was going to happen, but just followed the instructions of Yue Le and the others, and instinctively became alert.

Kai wrapped his hands with a cloth strip and tied a knot. He looked around vigilantly, watching every move around him with a sharp gaze, not daring to relax at all.

The bright moonlight was like a silver veil, gently covering the vast earth, making everything around clearly visible.

Especially since the place Yue Le chose was an open space, the carriage, Hong, and Kai were completely exposed. For these bounty hunters, it was a delicious piece of fat meat, and everyone wanted to take a bite.

Suddenly, there was a slight rustling sound coming from the bushes in the distance, as if something mysterious was approaching quietly.

Kai and Hong looked at each other quickly, and there was a hint of tension and vigilance in each other's eyes.

His palms were slightly sweaty. If possible, Kai would rather fight head-on with real weapons instead of being so passive now, but he couldn't. At this moment, the two of them were fully focused and ready to deal with any possible threats.

As time passed, the tense atmosphere gradually increased and everyone's nerves were stretched to the extreme.

The figure of the black cat was looming in the darkness, moving silently, skillfully using the surrounding environment to conceal its shape.

In such an environment, her presence is almost imperceptible. She is like a ghost, chilling.

She was waiting for Yue Le's next instruction.

They will create a false impression that their guarding force is weak. The enemy is likely to be confused by this appearance and let down their guard. However, they do not know that once they take action, they will immediately fall into the death trap set by the black cat.

Show weakness to the enemy, but the enemy already knows of Yue Le's existence and must be alert at this time. But even if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter, it's just a casual deployment.

At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky were as thick as ink, as if they were going to crush the whole world. The night became darker and darker, giving people a feeling of depression.

The subtle banging sounds echoed in the silent night sky, as if they were a signal that some danger was about to come.

Yue Le stood quietly on a tree, his expression slightly serious. One hundred, one hundred and one, one hundred and two...

At this moment, he no longer has the confidence he had at the beginning. Is he serious?

Perhaps, Yue Le underestimated the value of the daimyo's wife, or perhaps, he had never realized this.

Perhaps for ordinary ninjas, a bounty of 100 million is something they cannot earn in decades or even their entire lives, but for dignitaries and even daimyo, it is just a small amount of money.

Sometimes, money can really overwhelm a person...

Even though he is powerful.

But Yue Le was not afraid of these enemies. What he was worried about was that there might be powerful enemies in the future, just like... the disgusting aura that Fei began to smell. That must be a strong enemy!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel helpless. Facing so many enemies, even he was not completely sure that he could protect Shang Ge Weixu.

Late at night, the jungle is quiet and deep, with no sound of birds or insects.

A hint of murderous intent was hidden in this quiet night. The sky was lonely, no moon was visible, and wisps of dark clouds were floating in the sky. The moonlight was blocked by the dark clouds, leaving only darkness.

In the darkness, countless pairs of eyes were staring at Yue Le and Shangge Weixu. They were hiding in the woods, waiting for the best time to launch an attack.

The atmosphere in the air became increasingly strange, and slowly, the birds stopped moaning and the insects stopped chirping.

A weak woman worth 100 million, two young brats who just came out of Konoha, and a few small fry... Even if Konoha Fengdiao is really powerful, what if they take advantage of the situation and eat it...

Most of the bounty hunters who came here had this mentality. They were people who had been walking on the edge of life and death for many years. How could they easily give up such an opportunity? After all, as long as they could successfully kill Shang Ge Weixu and others and get her head, it would be a huge fortune!

Perhaps, they can use this to escape from their current situation, return to normal life, and no longer have to worry about the rest of their lives.

And in the darkness, Yue Le's red eyes slightly opened, and the Tang sword in his hand turned slightly, without revealing the slightest cold light. His whole aura was restrained, and he stood quietly like a sculpture, silently guarding everyone.

At this moment, Shangge Weixu also had trouble falling asleep. She slowly walked out of the carriage, unwilling to stay alone in the carriage waiting for an unknown outcome. No matter what the final result of this attack was, she would not tolerate her fate being controlled by others.

Kamigurumi Mio, the eldest daughter of the Kamigurumi family and the ruler of this generation, will never sit still and wait for death. She will face everything personally and take control of her own destiny. Looking at Saku Daichi who was guarding outside the carriage, a faint... strange apology appeared at the corner of her mouth.

At this moment, the dark clouds in the night sky suddenly split open, and the bright moonlight penetrated the clouds, like a beam of bright light falling down. Coincidentally, this beam of moonlight just happened to shine on Yue Le's body on the tree trunk, making his figure clearly visible.

The moonlight was like silver, illuminating Yue Le's figure, making him particularly eye-catching in the darkness. His posture was upright and his expression was firm, as if he had merged with the surrounding environment.

He did not choose to hide himself. He needed to stand in the open and tell all his enemies, come on, if you give up your respect for life, then let me remember the fear of death for you.

Everyone looked up at the figure and felt a little relieved for a moment.

Shang Ge Weixu raised his head and stared at Yue Le's back. His eyes were like dead water, with a little bit of complicated meaning. The corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, as if he wanted to say something.

"I'm sorry...Konoha...Tsuki..."

This quiet girl, in this crisis of the night, smiled with a complicated expression, as if she had made some kind of decision at that moment.

Those who can choose to do this profession are all people who live on the edge of a knife. At this moment, seeing themselves walking out of the carriage with 100 million taels, some people can no longer suppress their restless hearts.

"Hehe, I'll take this 100 million taels!"

As he spoke, a bounty hunter who was wrapped in black and whose gender could not be identified came out first. His eyes were fixed on the carriage, and there was a greedy light in his eyes.

The bounty hunter looked at Shangge Weixu in front of the carriage with a greedy look in his eyes, as if he saw a huge fortune right in front of him. Then, he turned his gaze to Kai and Hong beside him, with a bloodthirsty light in his eyes.

However, he was obviously aware of his own strength and did not dare to act rashly. But under the temptation of money, he still looked at his companions around him and nodded tacitly.

In an instant, the bounty hunter's body turned into afterimages. Surprisingly, each afterimage had the same aura and strength.

These afterimages pounced towards Weixu like a pack of hungry wolves. Their movements were as fast as lightning, dazzling the eyes. For a moment, it was impossible to tell the real from the fake.

At the same time, Yue Le stood quietly on the treetop, observing the situation below.

His eyes were cold and sharp, like a cheetah ready to pounce. When he saw the ninja behind the bounty hunter, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile.

Yue Le disappeared instantly, the blade in his hand flashing a chilling light. His speed was so fast that it was impossible to catch his trace, like a gust of wind.

The ninja had no time to react, he only felt a powerful force coming from all directions. Yue Le's attack was as fast as lightning, and each of his strikes contained endless killing intent and fierce power.

In the blink of an eye, several afterimages were instantly destroyed and disappeared on the spot as a puff of smoke.

In the next moment, Yue Le, surrounded by a breeze and with a biting chill, appeared silently beside the bounty hunter.

The movement was clean and neat, and he easily cut off the opponent's head with a flick of the knife.

Blood splattered everywhere, staining the surrounding ground red, but Yue Le did not pause at all. He lightly shook off the blood on the Tang sword, and then continued to sprint forward, approaching the nearest enemy.

The guy who showed up first, his not-so-smart head was still spinning in the air, with shock and confusion in his eyes. He seemed to be wondering why he suddenly flew up.

However, darkness gradually enveloped him, and he would never get the answer...

In this world, death is the norm...
