Chapter 211 Naked Run in the Alley
Xiao Chong was unaware that Helian Tieshu harbored great ambitions and was determined to avenge the arrow wound.
Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. What young person doesn't have a competitive spirit? Besides, targeting the Martial Arts Association is in his own interest.
As long as the other party doesn't resort to underhanded tactics and instead tries to defeat me fairly and squarely through roundabout means, then let them be. Anyway, I won't let you succeed.
Xiao Chong now also has a team, with himself as the captain and the team members being Fatty, Long Wu, and two others. Although these four are all eccentric, they always stick together with him in crucial moments.
As the team leader, one cannot always be at the forefront; instead, one must take overall responsibility.
Long Wu, with his combative nature, is the perfect choice to lead the charge. Fatty and Yin Feng, always methodical, are better suited for mid-game duties. As for Qing Meng, the little girl always has a knack for brilliant moves, making her ideal for finishing off enemies.
After a period of careful refinement, Xiao Chong finally found the right positions for the four of them.
……
Not far from Tianxin College, there is an alley that is jokingly called "Naked Run Alley." This name was given by students to commemorate the indecent behavior of a certain student.
Sun Kuan had been lying in wait in the nude alley for three whole days. Of course, he didn't know the name of the alley or the stories that had happened there, but that didn't stop him from carrying out his mission.
A crescent moon hung in the night sky, its soft light bathing Sun Kuan, dressed in gray, perfectly concealing him from the earthen wall, making him difficult to spot.
He was one of the assassins carefully trained by the Martial Elders Association, specifically tasked with assassinating those who disobeyed the Association's orders.
Although he hadn't yet reached the level of a grandmaster, Sun Kuan was very confident in himself. He held a high rank in the assassin division of the Martial Elders' Association and had undertaken nineteen missions solo without a single failure.
Among the martial artists he successfully assassinated, seven were ordinary martial artists, ten had reached the peak of martial artistry, and the remaining two were even more remarkable, both having just entered the Grandmaster realm.
"Today is the twentieth mission. If we successfully complete this mission, we can be promoted to the head of a department."
Sun Kuan quietly wiggled his slightly numb toes, lost in thought for a moment.
Being an assassin is a high-risk profession, no matter where you are. The Martial Arts Association has a rule for its assassin department: anyone who can complete twenty missions assigned by the association on their own can become the head of the department.
Leaders of the Martial Arts Association receive preferential treatment and are less likely to be sent on missions. The fewer missions an assassin is required to complete, the more secure their life will be.
Therefore, the competition for the position of leader within the assassin division is quite fierce. After all, no one who becomes a qualified assassin is a fool. Everyone understands the saying, "The more you climb the mountain, the more likely you are to encounter a tiger."
Sun Kuan's target this time is Helian Tieshu, a peak martial artist and a student at Tianxin Academy.
Sun Kuan wouldn't need to intervene to achieve a goal at the level of Benyuan, but Helian Tieshu is different. He is not only a student, but also the designated next head of the Helian family.
Moreover, for some reason, Helian Tieshu seemed to harbor extreme hatred towards the Wu Lao Society. In the past few days, his Tieshu Squad had killed several Wu Lao Society lurkers in the city.
What Wu Lao Hui found most intolerable was that every infiltrator died a gruesome death. They were first stripped naked, then their heads were chopped off, and their bodies were hacked to pieces.
In light of this, the Wu Lao Hui (a martial arts association) speculated that this person was likely to have suffered some kind of trauma and was a psychologically disturbed and perverted individual.
If such a person is allowed to run rampant, he will cause incalculable damage to the Martial Elders Association after becoming the head of the Helian family. Therefore, he must be eliminated as soon as possible.
Considering that this person was extremely insidious and highly dangerous, the Martial Arts Association specially dispatched Sun Kuan, an experienced veteran.
"It's been three days already. If I don't wait for Helian Tieshu soon, my physical strength will suffer."
Sun Kuan felt uneasy and wanted to back out.
But when he thought of the punishment Elder Wu would inflict on those who failed the mission, he couldn't help but shudder slightly, and could only wait patiently.
Just as Sun Kuan was getting impatient, he suddenly heard a series of chaotic footsteps coming from the direction of Tianxin Academy.
As the footsteps drew closer, a series of intermittent conversations became increasingly clear.
"Captain Helian, we successfully killed another stranger who had infiltrated the city today, which greatly boosted our reputation. This is all thanks to your excellent guidance, Captain."
The speaker's voice was childish, like that of a young student who had joined the Iron Tree Squad.
"Do you even need to tell me? Don't you know who leads our Iron Tree Squad? Captain, shouldn't we celebrate and get some midnight snacks to fill our stomachs first?"
Another member of the Iron Tree Squad chimed in.
Stop flattering me! Do you think I, Helian Tieshu, fall for that? Listen up, all of you, stay focused and make sure you crush Xiao Chong's group! Anyone who slips up will face a life-or-death situation!
The person who spoke this time had a rough and imposing voice, and his tone clearly indicated that it was Helian Tieshu.
"You're here! We've been waiting for you!"
Upon hearing the conversation, Sun Kuan's spirits lifted, and he was ready to go all out at any moment.
……
On the other side of the alley where the nudist ran, Xiao Chong was leading four team members home.
"Young Master Chong, it's so late, why not take the shortcut and insist on going around in circles? Wouldn't it be better to go home and sleep earlier?"
The fat man yawned as he walked, looking sleepy and clearly somewhat unwilling.
"You know what nostalgia is? I witnessed the origin of the name 'Naked Run Alley.' It's not far anyway, can't we just reminisce a little?"
Xiao Chong answered as he walked, his face full of sighs.
"Hehe, it's really a good name, simple and straightforward yet meaningful. I like it very much!"
Long Wu chuckled twice, his voice filled with endless lewdness.
Of the five, only Qingmeng was a good girl. She asked, seemingly understanding but not quite, "Why is that young master of the Helian family running around naked here? In the middle of winter, doesn't he feel cold? Or is he practicing some kind of unparalleled martial arts?"
However, none of them were willing to explain for Qingmeng, and they all smiled without answering.
Fortunately, Qingmeng only asked casually, and seeing that he didn't get any results, he didn't pursue the matter further.
As they walked, they heard voices coming from the other side of the alley. Xiao Chong was startled when he heard the voices.
"That voice sounds familiar... Is it Helian Tieshu? Why would he be here so late? Is he about to do something shocking again?"
"Should we meet with him? Forget it, it'll spoil his fun."
After recognizing the voice, Xiao Chong quickly made a plan in his mind and then decided to leave with his companions to avoid any awkwardness if they met again.
But just as he was about to turn around, he stopped again, because he vaguely sensed the presence of another person in the alley.
The fluctuation of that aura was extremely subtle. If Xiao Chong's mental cultivation hadn't improved during this period, he wouldn't have been able to detect it at all.
