“The place was somewhat remote, and after a long car ride, the group finally stopped in a spacious factory.
Upon arrival, the driver quickly hopped out of the car and opened the door for Ye Wanwan.
However, in the moment when Ye Wanwan got out of the car, the driver suddenly made a move, attacking Ye Wanwan like a ghost.
The sharp palm wind struck, narrowly grazing Ye Wanwan’s neck, leaving a bloodstain in an instant.
It was a close call; her neck almost got twisted by the assailant.
“Who are you?!” Ye Wanwan narrowly evaded one move, but the attacker’s speed was incredibly fast, relentlessly launching one fierce attack after another.
This person had extremely strong martial skills, far from an ordinary assassin!
“Damn!” Ye Wanwan narrowly dodged the opponent’s strikes.
“Sister Wuyou, be careful! Who dares to attack even our Nie family’s people!” Nie Linglong rushed over, delivering a powerful palm strike towards the assassin.
Nie Linglong’s strike was extraordinary in terms of strength and speed, forcefully sending the assassin flying.
“Pfft—” The assassin coughed up blood, clearly seriously injured, and hastily fled.
Ye Wanwan subconsciously looked at Nie Linglong. With just one palm, she had repelled the assassin. Nie Linglong’s martial skills were even more impressive than she had imagined.
The Nie family guards quickly pursued, and at the same time, the elders and leaders from the car behind also rushed over.
“Who dares to assassinate even our Second Miss!”
“Absolutely lawless! We must thoroughly investigate this matter!”
“Miss, are you alright?”
The elders and leaders all spoke up.
Ye Wanwan rubbed her numb hand from the clash moments ago. “I’m fine.”
At this moment, amid the angry voices, a soft voice suddenly sounded, “Second Miss, with your strength, that assassin shouldn’t have been able to get near you, how could…”
The person didn’t finish their sentence, but the meaning was clear.
With that remark, everyone’s gazes turned slightly peculiar as they looked at Ye Wanwan.
Indeed, Second Miss’s martial talent had once shocked the entire Independent State. She was a legend in the mercenary world. How could she be unable to defeat even an assassin, and it was Nie Linglong who repelled the assassin with one palm.
Faced with the skepticism and suspicion of the elders and leaders, Ye Wanwan’s expression darkened.
Her martial power had indeed not fully recovered to its peak. Even though she had been training diligently during this time, she could only restore about thirty to forty percent at most. If she lost her temper and drank, she might reach fifty to sixty percent, but it was still far from her prime.
In martial arts, the closer one got to the top, even a fraction of a difference was like a chasm.
Some people might never be able to bridge that gap in their entire lives.
At this moment, Ye Wanwan felt like a high-level character who had been reset. She had already overcome all the challenges, but now she had to level up all over again. Although her progress was faster than an ordinary person, the higher she climbed, the more difficult it became.
Enlightenment was something that couldn’t be forced through training.
No matter how hard she tried, she always felt stiff, and her body couldn’t move as freely as she wished. This was undoubtedly fatal when facing true experts.”
