Chapter 2652: Clearing All Threats
“How’s this possible?” Zhao Yuan panicked, his eyes brimming with confusion.
As the king of assassins, he had absolute control over his body. He was confident that he could dictate the life or death of anyone within a one-meter radius of him. Even when Zu An appeared, he'd still been confident he could kill Zu An if the latter got within a thirty-centimeter radius.
If someone had told him that an enemy could easily rescue a person he was holding hostage, he would have never believed it. What did it mean to be the king of assassins? It meant no one could rescue a person under his control!
That was the basis of his confidence, which was why he'd dared to negotiate with Zu An after holding Bi Linglong hostage.
What's going on? Was it all my delusion? Reluctant to believe this was real, he even tried stabbing the pillar in his grasp. It was indeed no illusion. What he was holding was a rotten pillar.
It wasn't just him; the crowd was also flabbergasted.
Murong Qinghe and Zhang Zitong rubbed their eyes before exchanging confused looks. They had seen Zhao Yuan holding Bi Linglong hostage. It was one thing for Zhao Yuan to hallucinate, but how could all of them be hallucinating together?
Bi Linglong felt as if she was dreaming. It was just a second ago that Zhao Yuan had his blade pressed against her neck, and she had already resigned herself to death. She'd even considered slitting her neck against the blade so that she wouldn’t be a liability to her lover. But then, the next second, she suddenly appeared by his side.
She reflexively touched her neck and felt the thin cut on it. That confirmed she wasn’t hallucinating. What’s going on?
Everyone present was full of questions.
