Chapter 628

Entering the stronghold, he saw a vast hall inside . It was extremely simple . The only thing in this hall was an elder resting with his eyes closed .

When Long Chen entered, the elder’s eyes popped open . His eyes were extremely turbid, making him look exactly like an ordinary, mortal elder .

“Sorry to disturb you,” said Long Chen lightly as he appraised the surroundings .

“Long Chen? Hehe, interesting . You’re on the kill list, but you actually dared to come here . Youngsters these days really are brazen,” praised the elder .

“There’s no way around that, as my character is just like that . But the world is always changing . For example, the position of hunter and prey often changes, don’t you think?” asked Long Chen .

This person was definitely an a.s.sa.s.sin . Although this person had completely reserved his aura, Long Chen’s sharp spiritual perception could still sense endless resentment on his body . That was the resentment left behind by the people he had killed . Now that it had been absorbed by his aura, it was something that would never wash away .

“Oh? This theory of yours truly does exist . But it doesn’t hold water with my Bloodkill Hall . Prey should just hide as best as they can, doing anything they can to dodge the arrow of the hunter . Once the hunter finally gives up, the prey will also regain its freedom . But if a prey walks into the hunter’s room, that’s not in accordance with the rules . Even if the prey manages to bite one hunter to death, it will simply bring on more hunters, and then it won’t have the slightest chance of surviving,” said the elder .

Obviously, he was extremely familiar with who Long Chen was . He had already escaped from bronze, silver, and gold rank a.s.sa.s.sins . Then he would only have to endure one more wave of violet gold a.s.sa.s.sins before, in accordance with the Bloodkill Hall’s regulations, the mission to kill him would be marked as a failure .

Once a mission failed, the Bloodkill Hall would never create a new mission to kill that target . That was why he was warning Long Chen . If Long Chen didn’t act according to the Bloodkill Hall’s rules, then no matter what today’s result was, Long Chen would forever have to face this world’s most terrifying a.s.sa.s.sins until he died .

“Rules? Those are just things the strong force upon the weak . As for the experts, they are both the players and the referees . This kind of game is too senseless, and I don’t like it . ” Long Chen shook his head .

“Oh? Then what do you want?”

“I like to play according to my own rules . ” Long Chen shrugged .

“Your rules?”

“My rules are: if someone doesn’t offend me, I won’t offend them . If a person offends me, I’ll endure for a bit, and then if they continue, I’ll pull them up by the roots!” Long Chen seemed extremely relaxed as if he was just talking about a game . There wasn’t the slightest graveness to his voice .

But Long Chen already viewed the Bloodkill Hall as enemies . They had already come after him several times, and he was done with this senseless game .

As for him saying that he would ‘endure for a bit’, that was really just nonsense . Other than enduring a bit toward pretty women, it seemed he never exercised any forbearance .

“Pull them up by the roots? Hahaha…!”

The elder laughed heartily as if he had heard the world’s funniest joke . Tears even squeezed out of his eyes .

Long Chen didn’t say anything . He simply stood there with his hands clasped behind his back, a smile on his face as he waited .

After getting tired of laughing, the elder finally said, “Do you know just how laughable your words are? Do you know how enormous the Bloodkill Hall is? Let alone you, even your Xuantian Dao Sect’s patriarch doesn’t have the qualifications to say that he will uproot the entire Bloodkill Hall . Do you want to continue making jokes?”

Long Chen shook his head . “I don’t know how enormous the Bloodkill Hall is, and I also don’t know who the Xuantian Dao Sect’s patriarch is . But I know that your Bloodkill Hall has tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate me . So you are my enemies, and what I do to my enemies is always the same . As for whether or not my words today are a joke or the truth, you’ll never have a chance to find out . Perhaps in the nine springs you’ll eventually hear the news that your Bloodkill Hall was destroyed . At that time, I hope you can also laugh so heartily . ”

“According to the Bloodkill Hall’s rules, I can’t attack you right now . But since you’ve provoked my Bloodkill Hall’s dignity, it goes without saying that I can only kill you here . After killing you, I will confess my repentance to the Killing G.o.d . ”

After saying that, the elder suddenly disappeared . A dagger pierced straight toward Long Chen’s back, coming incredibly quickly .

Long Chen sneered . He raised a lightning-covered hand .

Just as Long Chen’s hand was about to reach the dagger, the s.p.a.ce in front of Long Chen twisted, and the elder appeared in front of him, a dripping dagger stabbing toward his chest .

This was an extremely exquisite diversionary tactic . When the elder had first disappeared, that strange dagger had come from behind him . At this time, anyone would think the elder had appeared between them and would turn .

But as soon as you did that, you would have fallen into a deathtrap, as the elder had merely used an illusory art to make himself temporarily vanish . As for the attack, it was just his Spiritual Strength controlling a dagger . In other words, before Long Chen had even arrived, that dagger had already been set up behind him .

“What a routine . ”

Long Chen sneered . The instant the elder’s spiritual energy had activated, he had sensed it . Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength was a hundred times greater than the elder’s . How could he possibly be fooled?

He blocked the dagger behind him with one hand, and then he ignored the dagger in the elder’s hand, instead smas.h.i.+ng his fist at his chest .

This fist relied on nothing more than brute strength . But if the elder was struck by it, his body would immediately explode .

However, before that fist reached the elder, his dagger would pierce into Long Chen’s body .
