Just after the three people disappeared, Cheng Ying made another move and threw out a few leaves, which shot into the sky like blades.

Those who weren't hiding all looked upwards and simultaneously slashed at the leaves above with their knives. But as the leaves fell, Cheng Ying also stabbed each of them in the neck, and it took a long time for blood to spurt out.

This further confirmed the speed of Cheng Ying's knife skills, while Cheng Ying calculated that there were still three people left.

This time, it was Cheng Ying's turn to pay attention to the surrounding air fluctuations. She wanted to test whether she could accurately guess the three people's movement direction, just to practice her swordsmanship!

If those three knew Cheng Ying's thoughts, they would be so angry they would vomit blood on the spot. After they arrived, they used all their sword skills and even ninjutsu, but Cheng Ying treated them like toys, using them as tools for her training!

Cheng Ying closed her eyes, sensing the fluctuations in the air. Suddenly, she moved, first stabbing the air with her knife, and with a soft "thud," she hit a spot.

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Ying swiftly stabbed her from behind and above, her swordsmanship so fast it seemed to leave afterimages.

After the remaining two men were stabbed, they both revealed themselves and fell to the ground. Cheng Ying opened her eyes, looked at the corpses on the ground, and smiled slightly—a radiant smile. She was extremely happy because she had won!

After searching their bodies and finding their loot, Cheng Ying left. She knew this battle was just the beginning, and many more challenges awaited her.

Meanwhile, in another corner of a certain county, the leader of the mysterious organization turned extremely grim upon learning of his subordinate's defeat. He decided to send out even more powerful assassins to ensure Cheng Ying's death.

Meanwhile, Cheng Ying was immersed in the joy of victory. She savored the battle, her confidence in her swordsmanship growing ever stronger. However, she was unaware that a far greater crisis was quietly approaching…

After returning to her post, Cheng Ying reported the incident to Commander Wei and the others.

However, Commander Wei and his men looked at Cheng Ying with great concern. Captain Zhang said, "This assassination attempt was just a test. If the other side finds out and they fail, the next wave of assassinations will come soon. You need to be mentally prepared for that."

Cheng Ying nodded and said, "Captain Zhang, it's alright. I'll wait for them to come. It'll be good for me to eliminate some of the more capable members of their organization, giving our army more leverage when we win future victories."

Commander Wei said, "Cheng Ying, this is not the time to be reckless! You need to know that they are not ordinary people. We must not be careless."

Cheng Ying smiled and said, "Commander, don't worry! I have my own ability to protect myself."

Commander Wei and Captain Zhang exchanged glances and shook their heads helplessly. No matter what happens in the future, they will have to be extra vigilant, and Cheng Ying is a very important person to them.

After the last report on the situation here, the higher-ups expressed the same sentiment: Cheng Ying is a special talent, and they must protect her at all costs!

After all, Cheng Ying's abilities are equivalent to those of a thousand troops. It's no exaggeration to say that. After so many battles, they all understand that their easy victories are all thanks to Cheng Ying's protection, which allows them to win at the lowest possible cost!

They didn't tell Cheng Ying about this decision from above, because they didn't want to put any pressure on her. They decided that Commander Wei and Captain Zhang would handle everything privately, as it was their responsibility as elders and superiors to their juniors.

This is the affection that has developed over such a long period of time, and it is completely genuine. After all, they know in their hearts how Cheng Ying treats them. Whether it is the food or medicine she sent before, or the guns and ammunition she seized from the enemy, she has given them all the benefits.

Cheng Ying's selfless dedication deeply moved them! Now that Cheng Ying is in danger, they will stand in front of her without hesitation to protect her, even if the enemy is powerful and beyond their ability to resist. If there is any chance of survival, they are willing to give it to their comrade-in-arms who can fight alongside them!
