C64 (2/2)

There weren't many people in the world who'd managed to come out unscathed, so there was always a saying in the world of superpowers — it was better to meet a powerhouse of the tenth rank than a powerhouse of the seventh rank.

Perhaps the former had the power to escape, but if they encountered someone whose Discipline was at least rank 7, they wouldn't even have the power to escape.

However, due to the special nature of 'World', it had a weakness, which was that it was easy for others to discover when it was used. As a result, there were very few people in the world who could reach the seventh level of the 'World' ability.

As for the 'Realm' adepts, because of their special characteristics, they mostly appeared at the same time as those with powerful martial prowess.

If there were 'World' adepts in the vicinity, then there would be an expert with formidable attack power nearby.

Normally, someone as experienced as Hao Qiang would never have fallen into such a dangerous situation like this. However, he was too worried about Qi Mengxi's safety, so he lost his usual composure and fell into such a dangerous situation.

After realising his situation, Hao Qiang took out the short knife that he prepared for himself after declaring war on [Ghost Domain]. He held it horizontally across his chest, ready to defend against any offensive supernatural expert that might jump out from who knows where.

This' World 'ability was not very high level and did not have the corresponding self-attack ability. Therefore, there would definitely be experts lurking in the dark waiting for an opportunity to kill him. He had to be careful in this environment.

Suddenly, a very thin sound of wind breaking rang out from behind him. As Hao Qiang lay on his side, he immediately felt a cold breeze pass by his face.

Hao Qiang was astonished and immediately felt countless tiny sounds of wind breaking coming from all directions. Hao Qiang quickly jumped into the air, but when the wind blew again from above his head, he immediately bent his waist and dodged that unknown object. However, this bending of his waist had been done with great difficulty, and after dodging that cold light, Hao Qiang actually stopped for a split-second, but that instant, Hao Qiang felt a chill in his chest.

This feeling was too weird. Moreover, he did not know what weapon his opponent was using to attack him. It was as if he was everywhere and could not be prepared to know where his opponent was. This kind of feeling of ignorance was too terrible.

Just as the sound of the wind breaking rang out again, Hao Qiang used the short knife in his hand to block it. With a small 'ding', something fell onto the ground.

Hao Qiang frowned. It seemed to be something like a silver needle. It was just that he didn't know if it was poisoned, but the thing that pierced his chest just now didn't look like it. It seemed to be bigger.

Before Hao Qiang could even think about it, a series of tiny whizzing sounds came from all directions. Hao Qiang did not move, and just as the silver needles were about to pierce him, he suddenly moved, and as he moved, there was a ”dang” sound, the sound of weapons clashing resounded in the space.

When this move was blocked, the opponent was clearly stunned for a moment, then followed with a second move.

Hao Qiang remained the same as before, not moving at all. He then moved to block the attack with his body.

His opponent seemed to know that this move would not work any longer. In an instant, his opponent stopped moving.

Hao Qiang remained silent in the darkness. He tried his best to suppress the feeling of his own presence as he looked around himself. As long as there was a second person in this space, he would definitely be able to find him. It was just a matter of time.

Suddenly, a strange aura came from the southwest of Hao Qiang, accompanied by a powerful attack!

Hao Qiang raised his blade to counterattack. This time, he didn't wait for the opponent to arrive before retaliating. Instead, he took the initiative to go forward and face the opponent head on!

The other party clearly hadn't expected Hao Qiang to discover that he had been caught unprepared while he was still in the 'Dimension'. After reacting, he quickly disappeared from Hao Qiang's senses.

That was the situation in the 'Realm'. If the 'Master' of the 'Realm' wanted to hide a person, even a rank 10 superpower would not be able to detect him within a short period of time. The other party could appear anywhere they wanted.

Compared to Yin Ning's Absolute Domain, this kind of 'Realm' was an existence of a higher level. If Yin Ning's Absolute Domain were to encounter another 'World's' adepts of the same level, it would only end in failure.

Following the disappearance of the attack, the space around Hao Qiang started to change.

The fog in front of Hao Qiang grew darker and darker. The five fingers that he could barely see earlier had already disappeared.

However, this did not affect Hao Qiang much. For someone who was used to assassinating people in the dark, dealing with people in the dark was a lesson that every single one of them had to learn every day. Only by passing this course could they be considered true killers, and Hao Qiang was one of the best.

Since they were both assassins in the dark, the opponent obviously knew about Hao Qiang's special characteristic. Thus, the dark space in front of them was definitely not the intention of a 'World's Adept'.

Suddenly, a glimmer appeared in the darkness, and the light was magnified in front of Hao Qiang.

Then, Hao Qiang saw his former master …

As that face grew larger in front of Hao Qiang's eyes, an old voice gradually appeared in Hao Qiang's mind — I'm handing over this [Dynasty] to you, you have to ensure that he will not forget his duty in your hands. Remember, your duty is to serve your country, even if you live in the dark, even if no one in the world knows of your existence, even if you are doing a dirty job in this world, you still have to remember your own first heart.

The scene changed and the man laid weakly before his eyes. His eyes, which had once been filled with light, were half drooping — Hao Qiang, from now on, you are the emperor of the [Dynasty]. Your will must be above your body, or else you won't be able to live a peaceful life under this title. Because this form of address signified too much patience and too much helplessness. I have never dared to relax myself in my life, because I know that once I relax, I will never be able to stand up again!
