Even though Zhou Wentian was a hundred times unwilling in her heart, she had to make a move!
Jiang Yi guessed that Zhou Wentian would personally lead guards to eliminate these assassins this time.
"By the way, where is Chen Kun?" Jiang Yi asked Shen Lu.
"Chen Kun should be nearby!"
Shen Lu replied, "I've made arrangements. I've prepared for the worst. If the plan goes wrong, Chen Kun will find a way to ensure your safe departure, Mr. Jiang."
Hearing this, Jiang Yi felt a bit comforted.
It seemed he had misjudged her after all.
Shen Lu handled matters very cautiously and had already prepared for the worst-case scenario.
"Mr. Jiang, let's go!"
Shen Lu took a deep breath and got out of the car.
Jiang Yi followed Shen Lu.
Soon, Jiang Yi and Shen Lu arrived at the villa entrance.
"Manager Shen, who is this?"
One of the assassins asked Shen Lu, "This person is unfamiliar. I don't think I've seen him before..."
"He's Ah Qiang, a new assassin I just recruited!" Shen Lu said coldly.
Hearing this, the assassins at the gate didn't say anything further.
Shen Lu led Jiang Yi straight into the villa.
At this moment, nearly a hundred assassins were gathered in the courtyard, their killing intent filling the entire space.
In the center of the courtyard, a high platform had just been erected!
This platform was a makeshift arena.
"Manager Shen, you're finally here! I thought you'd be a coward and wouldn't dare to come!"
A middle-aged man walked over with a sneer on his face.
"What? Do you think you have a chance to defeat me today?" Shen Lu asked coldly.
"Of course, I have a chance!"
The middle-aged man said with a grim expression, "As the head of all assassins in Jiang Province, you've caused us to lose so many companions during this period. As of now, more than twenty assassins have died. You are completely incapable of being the head. Moreover, your skills are nothing in front of me!"
"Zhang Jianguo, please understand your position!" The words from the Su Dan novel website.
Shen Lu said sternly, "I am still the head, and you have no right to blame me. If you utter another word, I will execute you right now. As the head, I have the authority to execute any assassin in Jiang Province, including you."
Hearing this, Zhang Jianguo immediately shut up, his face showing anger.
Shen Lu was right!
Shen Lu was still the head and held great power, while he, Zhang Jianguo, was merely a somewhat renowned assassin.
"What, unconvinced?" Shen Lu stared at Zhang Jianguo sharply.
Zhang Jianguo kept a straight face and said nothing.
"Apologize to me immediately, or I won't be polite," Shen Lu said sternly.
Shen Lu completely suppressed Zhang Jianguo with her aura.
"I was reckless just now. It's my fault for speaking out of turn!" Zhang Jianguo could only back down.
However, Zhang Jianguo was extremely unconvinced. He secretly vowed that after winning the challenge and becoming the head, Shen Lu would be the first person he would execute. Only by killing Shen Lu could he vent his anger.
Jiang Yi stood behind Shen Lu and smiled faintly.
How could a mere Zhang Jianguo be Shen Lu's match?
There would be a good show later!
He didn't need to do anything, just watch Shen Lu perform.
Shen Lu walked onto the arena, surveyed the crowd, and spoke loudly, "Everyone, you all know the rules of the election. Any assassin in Jiang Province can challenge. Whoever defeats me will become the head. However, if they lose, I, as the reigning champion, have the right to decide their fate!"
All the assassins' eyes were fixed on Shen Lu.
"I declare the challenge officially open!"
Shen Lu said coldly, "Whoever wants to come up and die first, hurry up, don't waste my time."
Zhang Jianguo did not rush to the arena but looked at a burly man beside him.
The burly man understood Zhang Jianguo's intention and walked directly towards the high platform.
Zhang Jianguo was a cunning old fox. He wanted to wait for Shen Lu to be exhausted before making his move.
Shen Lu knew what Zhang Jianguo was plotting and ignored him.
In the past, Shen Lu would not have had much confidence, as Zhang Jianguo was a top expert among all assassins in Jiang Province. However, now Shen Lu was full of confidence.
"Manager Shen, please forgive me!"
The burly assassin said and lunged at Shen Lu.
This burly assassin was two meters tall, with a body as strong as an ox, looking like a small mountain!
Shen Lu appeared very small in front of this burly assassin.
As the burly assassin's massive fist was about to strike Shen Lu, Shen Lu quickly dodged. Simultaneously, she used a flying kick to the burly man's chest.
This was one of the Twelve Absolute Skills.
The Twelve Absolute Skills were all deadly and extremely vicious.
The burly assassin's face was hit, and he immediately showed an expression of pain. In the next moment, his sturdy body fell to the ground, his breath gone.
This scene stunned everyone in the courtyard!
Zhang Jianguo's face also instantly turned grim. He clearly felt that Shen Lu's skills had become much more formidable compared to before.
Many assassins below the stage began to murmur quietly.
"Manager Shen's skills are too amazing!"
"That guy just now was one of our strongest assassins, and he was defeated by Manager Shen in one move."
"Challenging Manager Shen with our abilities is simply asking for death."
...
Seeing the burly assassin killed by Shen Lu in one move, these assassins all became cowardly.
As killers, they lived on the edge of a knife every day, always prepared to lose their lives.
But they were also human. As long as they were human, whether killers or ordinary people, they harbored a desire to survive. They would certainly not dare to do something that was clearly a suicide mission.
However, there were still assassins who, in order to become the head and gain great power, decided to fight desperately.
Soon, another assassin stepped onto the stage to challenge Shen Lu.
Without exception, they all fell before Shen Lu.
Each time Shen Lu made a move, she could kill her opponent in a single move.
Soon, all the assassins became timid.
Zhang Jianguo's face was extremely unsightly. He never expected Shen Lu's skills to suddenly become so powerful. So many assassins were no match for Shen Lu; they were all vulnerable before her.
"Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?" Shen Lu's sharp gaze swept across the assassins in the courtyard.
Not a single one of them responded.
They had given up challenging Shen Lu.
They didn't want to die.
"Zhang Jianguo, you were the one shouting the loudest just now. What's wrong? Are you going to be a turtle hiding in its shell now!" Shen Lu sneered.
"I don't take your skills seriously at all. Today, I will let you personally witness what a top assassin is!" Zhang Jianguo said and walked directly towards the arena.
