Chapter 803 - 843: Dying in Fear
"Bang bang," several sounds erupted, and a thick cloud of smoke suddenly filled the hall, followed by the instantaneous disappearance of the lights. The darkness, compounded by the smoke, rendered the hall so dark that one couldn’t see their own hands.
Ninja!
This was the kind of smoke commonly used by ninjas for concealment. Gonpachiro still had some ninjas hidden here; they had been lying in ambush within the hall, and now that Li Yifei had entered, it was finally their turn to strike.
The most formidable trait of the ninjas was their ability to ambush, killing their victims silently and without prior warning. Moreover, these ninjas were the elite among their kind, a group of true masters nurtured by Gonpachiro at great expense.
In such a situation, a regular person would definitely stop in their tracks, but Yifei’s pace wasn’t affected in the slightest, his steps still methodically moving toward the direction of the staircase.
"Ah!" Accompanied by the sound of a fist striking flesh, a person screamed and flew out, crashing into a piece of furniture.
It was uncertain how many ninjas were in the hall, but the cries of agony were incessant, as if they were meeting their deaths the moment they engaged in combat, whether it was one, two, or even several at a time.
Under these conditions, which would normally favor the ninjas, the darkness and smoke seemed to provide no advantage against Yifei.
Finally, the screams ceased in the ground-floor hall, and the sound of Yifei’s footsteps reached the second-floor staircase, suggesting he had eliminated all the ninjas in the hall.
Gonpachiro had been very confident in his ability to kill Li Yifei, but at this moment, he had lost all faith, replaced by a deep sense of dread. He hadn’t anticipated that Golden Eagle would be so strong, overwhelming the multitude of elite fighters he had at his disposal, leaving just the final four people by his side.
