A mysterious man who showed off his appearance but not his demeanor. Ever since the Paladin Alliance was destroyed by Ye Zihao, Locke seemed to have disappeared from the world. Later, I inquired and found out that he had actually joined the ninjutsu sect of the island country.
What you need to know is that the Paladin Alliance is a famous and powerful organization in the West, but now, Locke has taken the initiative to join the ninjutsu sect.
No one would believe this kind of thing!
To use an analogy, it is like the world's richest man going to work in a small company. This impossible thing happened to Locke.
For a person with such a noble status to take refuge in others is enough to show that Locke's ability to endure is quite remarkable.
Locke did not hesitate to bear the humiliation and seek refuge with others, with only one purpose, which was to use the power of the island nation's ninjutsu sect to eradicate himself.
Based on this alone, Ye Zihao still respects Locke very much.
At least, the perseverance of a person to bear such humiliation and bear the burden is not something that ordinary people can achieve.
However, his whereabouts have always been mysterious, but Locke took the initiative to find him.
Ye Zihao couldn't figure this out.
Because his coming to assassinate Taro Hirai was completely random. Logically speaking, it is impossible for Locke to know who his next target will be.
But now?
Locke actually showed up.
So, Ye Zihao asked with a serious expression, "Locke, how did you know my whereabouts?"
"Actually, I don't know your whereabouts, but I know that the person who assassinated the ninjutsu sect is probably you."
Locke responded.
When he said this, the chill radiating from his body became colder and colder.
In fact, Ninjutsu masters have been assassinated one after another recently. This incident not only attracted the attention of Kazuo Tojo, but also attracted the attention of Locke.
Masters continued to be assassinated, and Locke suspected that this mysterious master must have an sworn hatred with the ninjutsu sect.
Otherwise, how could the other party carry out such a vicious attack? Assassinate so many masters?
There are not too many enemies who have sworn hatred with the ninjutsu sect. If you think about it carefully, Ye Zihao is the most likely one.
Once this idea came to mind, the more Locke thought about it, the more likely it became.
As for how he discovered Ye Zihao, it was purely an accident.
Because the Ninjutsu Sect has issued an order prohibiting members from going out alone.
But Hirai Taro didn't take it seriously. He took the initiative to go out and drink, and he drank until the early morning.
Mysterious killers are everywhere assassinating people from the ninjutsu sect of the island country, but Kazuo Hirai still dares to go out alone. What is the difference between this and willingly committing suicide?
Therefore, Locke felt that if he was the mysterious master, Taro Hirai would be the best target to do it himself.
He put himself in another person's shoes and regarded himself as a mysterious master. The target he wanted to assassinate was Ye Zihao's target.
Therefore, by secretly following Taro Hirai, he might wait until Ye Zihao showed up, but he really did.
"How did you know it would be me?"
Ye Zihao was a little surprised. After all, when he assassinated the masters of the ninjutsu sect, he always disguised himself.
It stands to reason that even if someone sees it, it is impossible to recognize him.
However, Locke believed it was him.
This is something Ye Zihao can't understand.
"It's very simple! I guessed it!" Locke said coldly with a strange smile.
"What did you guess?"
Ye Zihao was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that Locke had guessed his identity.
"Yes! I did make a guess, because so many ninjas were assassinated, which also shows that the murderer has a blood feud with the ninjutsu sect, and besides you, I really can't think of anyone else who has a blood feud with the ninjutsu sect."
Locke explained and said.
"That's it, Locke, you are really smart!"
Ye Zihao suddenly realized it, but he still didn't understand something.
He acted randomly, but why did Locke appear here?
So, Ye Zihao asked with a vigilant look and said: "Locke, I don't understand, how did you find me here?"
"Actually, I don't know where you are, but I'm waiting for you to show up. Taro Hirai is my bait!"
Locke sneered and said with a sinister expression on his face.
"Oh, is this a move of yours to wait and see?"
Ye Zihao's expression was quite horrified. He didn't expect Locke to be so smart and waiting for him to come to his door.
Use Taro Hirai and wait for him to come out?
"Sit back and wait, haha, this is a good metaphor, I like it."
Locke sneered, seeming to be very relaxed.
Seeing Ye Zihao frown, he asked in confusion, "Locke! Since you were waiting and I showed up, why didn't you come out just now to stop me from killing Taro Hirai? Isn't he one of yours?"
"Yi Zihao, you are wrong. Taro Hirai is only from the ninjutsu sect, not mine. If he dies, I can't lose anything!"
Locke shook his head and said with an indifferent expression.
In his eyes, he just wanted to lure out Ye Zihao. As for Taro Hirai's life or death, it was not what he needed to care about.
Besides, Hirai Taro is too weak. Even if he is saved, he is still a waste. Since he is a waste, why should he save him?
Besides, the person he wanted to kill was Ye Zihao, and he had previously wanted Taro Hirai to consume Ye Zihao's physical strength.
"Locke, you are really cruel!"
Ye Zihao was surprised. He obviously did not expect Locke to be so cruel that he would not even save his own people.
How can we say that Hirai Taro is also a member of the Ninjutsu Sect of the island country, since Locke has joined the Ninjutsu Sect.
Logically, he should have come to the rescue instead of standing by and watching helplessly as he killed Taro Hirai.
Is Locke really a cold-blooded person?
"Whether he's cruel or kind, it's because he's so rubbish that he can't even deal with you. I originally expected him to kill you. In that case, I wouldn't have to take action, but I didn't expect that he still lost.
.”
Locke spread his hands with an expression that had nothing to do with him, as if Taro Hirai's death had nothing to do with him.
"If Taro Hirai were still alive, he would probably be mad at you."
Ye Zihao said coldly.
"Stop talking about this, Ye Zihao, are you ready to die?"
Locke shook his head, and the murderous aura emanating from his body became more and more intense.
At this time, Ye Zihao frowned, and then asked: "Locke, since you were beside me just now, you should be able to see how powerful I am. Do you think you have a chance to win if you fight me?
"
Logically speaking, his crushing kill of Hirai Taro should be able to shock Locke, but the Locke in front of him looked very relaxed, as if he was not worried about failure at all.
"Zi Hao, do you think you are very powerful?" Locke snorted coldly and asked in return.
"Isn't it?"
Ye Zihao shrugged his shoulders and said lightly.
"To ordinary people, your strength is indeed terrifying, but to me, I can only say one thing... you overestimate yourself."
Locke said coldly, looking at his expression, it seemed that he was not worried at all that Ye Zihao would kill him.
In his eyes, it was impossible for Ye Zihao to hurt himself.
Because he already knew Ye Zihao's strength very well.
"Did I overestimate myself? Or maybe you overestimated yourself?"
Ye Zihaoyin frowned, then calmly said something coldly.
"Ye Zihao, Ye Zihao, I didn't expect you to be so confident when you are about to die. I can see that your strength is only a master of peak internal strength, but do you know what my strength is?"
Locke's expression was serious and his eyes were fixed on Ye Zihao. Looking at his expression, he looked like a ferocious beast staring at its prey.
When he said these words, his tone was so sure and confident.
Listening to his tone, it seemed that he was sure to win tonight.
"Oh, what is your strength?"
Ye Zihao frowned tightly because he could also feel the confidence in Locke's expression.
Under normal circumstances, a person like Locke would not be so confident if he was not 100% sure.
"Half-step master, haha! Have you heard of it?"
Locke sneered and said.
Half-step master!
This is almost a master who stands at the top of the martial arts world. Some people, after working hard all their lives, cannot become a half-step master.
One can imagine how difficult it is to become a half-step master.
But when Ye Zihao heard his words, he became alert, and then asked incredulously: "What? Half-step master? You are actually a half-step master?"
Judging from Ye Zihao's unusual reaction, it was obvious that he did not expect Locke to be the rumored half-step master.
Ten masters of peak inner strength, or even a hundred masters of peak inner strength, may not be as good as a half-step master.
In front of the half-step master, the master of peak internal strength almost ended up being tortured.
This is why Ye Zihao was so shocked.
To Ye Zihao, a half-step master is simply a monster-like existence.
"Hahahahahaha!"
"Zi Hao, do you feel hopeless now? It's a pity that it's too late, I have to tell you some bad news."
Locke laughed arrogantly. In his eyes, it was impossible for Ye Zihao to win.
Just imagine, how can a master with peak internal strength be able to defeat a half-step master?
If Ye Zihao fights himself, it is like an egg hitting a rock. It is simply a showdown with no suspense.
After hearing Locke's words, Ye Zihao frowned even more. Seeing him, he asked warily, "What's the bad news?"
At this moment, Locke took out something from his body.
After seeing this thing, Ye Zihao's expression became quite shocked, as if he had a feeling of déjà vu.
"This...is this?"
In an instant, Ye Zihao became horrified. (To be continued)
