This scent of blood has nothing to do with livestock or poultry; it's human blood, and not just one person's. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so strong. For people like Yun Hao and Tank, who make a living at the edge of a knife every day, no one is more familiar with this kind of bloody scent!

"Grandpa!" Before Yun Hao could rush into the room, he heard Tank's heart-wrenching shout, and immediately Yun Hao knew something had happened.

When Yun Hao walked into the room, his heart sank completely. The room was in disarray, the dirt floor was stained with blood, and Tank was kneeling on the ground, holding an elderly man who looked to be over seventy, crying his heart out!

As the saying goes, the more you care, the more you tend to lose your head. Tank was currently in that state, so Yun Hao had to carefully examine the clues in the room. Apart from some disarray in the furnishings, everything else seemed normal. If viewed from the perspective of city life, this could very well be a home invasion robbery!

However, in such a remote village, calling this a home invasion robbery, targeting an elderly man over seventy, doesn't quite add up!

But if it wasn't a home robbery, what other reason could there be? Revenge killing? That's even more impossible. According to Tank, the old man spent his whole life in this small village; how could he have enemies?

Yun Hao came to Tank's side, reached out to touch the old man's body, and found it still warm. This meant he had died not long ago, likely just before they arrived!

"Stop crying. The old man probably just passed away. Come with me to find the killer. You don't want the old man to die with his eyes open, right?" Yun Hao gently patted Tank, then proceeded to look for clues outside because for people like them, separation by life and death had long become commonplace.

Tank was heartbroken mainly because of deep emotions. However, no matter what, maintaining a minimum level of rationality is crucial for them. Rationality allows one to keep a clear mind; otherwise, losing it in danger means losing one's life!

After leaving the room, Yun Hao carefully glanced at the ground and earthen walls around him, finally noticing small clumps of dirt falling near the left wall of the courtyard. Without hesitation, he jumped over the wall and ran in the leftward direction!

Leaving the courtyard, the left path led into the mountains. Without much thought, Yun Hao ran to the foot of the mountain. After hesitating slightly, he entered along the rugged path. In such overgrown areas, many clues could still be found, such as tree branches grazed by clothes, flowers, and plants!

But after running for another five minutes, Yun Hao suddenly stopped. How could there be no clues? It didn't make sense. Just when he felt puzzled, his body suddenly moved, and he lay down on the ground, quickly rolling to the side!

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, two metal arrows were shot beside him. One of them landed exactly where Yun Hao had been, emitting a green glow from the tip, indicating it was poisoned!

Amid his shock, Yun Hao's movements didn't stop. He continued to roll sideways, squatting behind a tree with an alert expression, focusing on all the surrounding sounds, even the chirping of birds!

If Yun Hao hadn't realized he was ambushed by now, he might as well sell his Asura title. But who set this trap for him and Tank?

Their enemies were usually abroad, and those people wouldn't come to Huaxia Country. After all, throughout the world, Huaxia was the most stable place internally. Anyone dangerous would surely be detected upon arrival.

Clearly, it's not the time to ponder such things. The priority is to deal with the hidden assassin. In assassinations, snipers are the most annoying. Sometimes, people get shot even before they clearly see anyone, and being killed by an arrow is even more unpredictable!

Because these weapons make minimal noise, one can be hit without noticing!

But that's only true for average people. To become a feared Asura, Yun Hao naturally possesses his own abilities!

Thinking of this, Yun Hao took off his clothes, crumpled them into a ball, and threw them forcefully.

"Whoosh!" An arrow hit the clothing Yun Hao threw, and at that moment, Yun Hao, hiding behind the tree, moved. He pushed off the ground with his legs, leaping towards the direction from which the bullet came!

At this moment, Yun Hao achieved his fastest speed, covering a distance of 100 meters in just five seconds, and that was only preliminary acceleration. Meanwhile, the assassin finally realized the situation and urgently tried to change positions.

But it was too late. The distance between him and Yun Hao was only over 200 meters! In the blink of an eye, Yun Hao was upon him, grabbing the assassin who attempted to get up and flee. Simultaneously, Yun Hao snatched the Assassination Crossbow from the assassin's hand!

"Haha, Asura indeed lives up to his name!" The sniper, realizing he was captured by Yun Hao, ceased struggling. He knew that once Yun Hao closed in, it meant certain death, as Asura's close-quarter combat skills were truly terrifying!

"If you know me, you should know my methods. Tell me who sent you? How many accomplices do you have?" Yun Hao's eyes sharpened as he interrogated the man, his expression remaining tense as he continued to vigilantly observe his surroundings. If another person popped up and shot him, that would really cost him dearly!

Of course, their entire conversation was in English!

"Do you think I'll talk? Asura, you're so naive!" The sniper looked at Yun Hao with disdain, with a hint of scorn giving way to resolve. Then Yun Hao saw the sniper's neck tilt, and he was instantly lifeless!

Damn, seeing the black blood oozing from the sniper's mouth, Yun Hao swore in frustration. Damn it, how did he not think these guys would have poison capsules in their mouths?

Helpless, Yun Hao squatted down and stripped the sniper of all his clothes. Naturally, this wasn't due to any peculiar fetish but to see if there was any mark on the sniper's body. After all, many assassins abroad had a habit of tattooing a badge representing their identity, and all mercenaries would have their mercenary group's uniform tattoo on their bodies.
