"Who I am is none of your business! You have ten seconds to consider, or die!" Chen Jie said calmly.
"You..."
Xiao Yue Tian Lang felt like his world had crumbled.
But he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think we assassins would reveal our identities? I have no way of knowing the location of our leader!"
"Is that so? Then you can die!"
Chen Jie's speed suddenly increased. In three seconds, he was beside Xiao Yue Tian Lang.
Xiao Yue Tian Lang's expression turned to extreme shock. This speed… damn it, he had been deliberately toying with him all along.
Deliberately leading him towards their headquarters.
"Heh, you forced me to use that move, so don't blame me!" Xiao Yue Tian Lang gritted his teeth and stopped abruptly.
To use that move, he had to be in his transformed state.
Seeing that his transformation time was about to expire, and Chen Jie was closing in, he had no choice but to use his trump card.
Then, his eyes turned blood red as he glared at Chen Jie.
At the same time, Chen Jie felt a peculiar energy surge into his consciousness.
"Heh, those struck by this move either die or become imbeciles! What fate awaits you?" Xiao Yue Tian Lang sneered.
Chen Jie's heart stirred.
He immediately realized that the move Xiao Yue Tian Lang was using was related to the cultivation technique he had taught Ronan.
Ronan's cultivation technique focused on mental power.
Once mastered, one could go a month without sleep and still be full of energy.
One could even use their will to erase an enemy's consciousness.
Chen Jie sensed carefully. He found that although he hadn't specifically trained it, his mental power was just as strong.
Moreover, after sensing Ronan's mental attack, he gained insights and vaguely figured out another method of using it.
"Not dead? Looks like you've become mentally disabled. You're quite lucky!"
Xiao Yue Tian Lang approached Chen Jie. Seeing Chen Jie standing motionless, he assumed Chen Jie had fallen victim to the attack.
His complexion was weak, and a smug smile played on his lips. "If I had known this move would work on you, I would have used it long ago. Indeed, this is one of my ultimate techniques, always effective. Even if you are strong, can you be stronger than the unique skill of my Xiao Yue clan?"
"You refused to stand down, so this is what you deserve!"
Xiao Yue Tian Lang triumphantly took out his communicator and said, "Boss, I've got him! I used our Xiao Yue clan's unique skill to turn him into an idiot!"
The voice on the other end clearly relaxed. "I knew you could do it! Our Dark Night Assassin organization has finally not failed a mission for the second time!"
The Dark Night Assassin organization had failed twice since its inception.
The first time was when they attempted to assassinate someone protected by a globally renowned Divine King. That time, the Dark Night Assassin organization lost eight of its top generals and still failed.
Although this time the commotion was smaller, it was enough to be recorded in the annals of the Dark Night Assassins!
Thinking of this, the Dark Night War God said, "I am truly curious about this young man's identity. He actually caused our Dark Night Assassins to act all night without a single success. They had only attempted to assassinate ordinary people before. This person reminds me of the Divine King… Bring him to me, I want to see him myself!"
"Alright, Boss, I'll bring him to you now."
Xiao Yue Tian Lang seemed to recall something and said, "Oh, right, Boss. This kid seems to know your title, Dark Night War God. He just asked me to take him to see you! Humph, ridiculous, how could I betray you? I would die before revealing your location."
"Boss, are you listening to me?"
The Dark Night War God was utterly shocked.
Someone actually knew he was the leader of the Dark Night!
How was this possible!
His title, the Dark Night War God, was not a secret, but very few people knew that he was the leader of the Dark Night Assassin organization!
Only those like Xiao Yue Tian Lang, who would die before betraying him, knew his true identity.
No!
There was still one more person!
It was during the first mission failure of his assassin organization, over ten years ago!
The Divine King had personally come to him to protect his target.
It also made the Dark Night War God realize how insignificant he was before the Divine King.
Could he be…?
Impossible, impossible!
The Dark Night War God frowned. "If not the Divine King, then who else knows my identity?"
"Forget it, I don't want to see him. Kill him now!" the Dark Night War God said into the phone.
"Uh? Kill him now?"
"Yes! Act immediately! Don't leave any loose ends!" the Dark Night War God commanded.
"Yes, Boss, I'll kill him now!"
Xiao Yue Tian Lang hung up the phone and looked at Chen Jie, a sinister smile on his face. "I'm sorry, kid. Our boss doesn't want to see you. So, even though you've become an idiot, you still have to die now!"
Saying that, his eyes sharpened, and he struck with his hand like a blade towards Chen Jie's neck.
*Bang!*
The dazed Chen Jie suddenly raised his hand and caught his attacking hand.
Xiao Yue Tian Lang's hand blade froze mid-air, unable to advance further.
"What? You, you're unharmed?" Xiao Yue Tian Lang exclaimed.
Then, his face turned to utter terror.
Chen Jie's eyes regained clarity. "I intended to have you take me to see the Dark Night War God, but it seems he has become wary. What a pity."
"You know each other?"
Xiao Yue Tian Lang's eyes widened, but he quickly discovered something even more terrifying in Chen Jie's words.
Chen Jie's implication was that his boss had discovered Chen Jie's identity, and therefore dared not meet him. Meeting him could be fatal!
Who exactly was he!
Xiao Yue Tian Lang was incredibly shocked, but at this moment, only one thought echoed in his mind: he was doomed!
Unwillingly, he looked at Chen Jie and said, "Even if you torture me, I won't tell you where our boss is! Heh heh, as long as I hold on for ten minutes, our boss should have already retreated!"
Chen Jie grabbed his neck, his gaze like lightning, fixing on Xiao Yue Tian Lang. "Ten minutes? I don't even need ten seconds to make you obedient!"
"What do you want to do to me?" Xiao Yue Tian Lang asked in fright.
"You used mental power to attack me, now, let me show you my mental power!"
*Boom!*
A deafening roar sounded in Xiao Yue Tian Lang's mind. He felt as if his entire being was about to explode.
He sensed an energy a hundred times more refined than the unique skill he had just used, blasting into his mind.
"You, how do you know our Xiao Yue clan's unique secret technique? This is impossible…"
Before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Yue Tian Lang could no longer withstand the impact and became utterly vacant.
Chen Jie commanded, "Now, take me to see the Dark Night War God at the fastest possible speed!"
