Chapter 629: 629

Powerful qi waves erupted . Over a dozen figures were blown out of the stronghold, but cold light suddenly flashed, instantly killing them .

Yue Zifeng: “I got eight . ”

Gu Yang: “I got seven . ”

Song Mingyuan: “I got two . ”

Li Qi: “What the f.u.c.k, you guys are too fast! I still didn’t get one! Can’t you leave one for me?”

Li Qi was irritated . It was twice now that his prey had been taken from him . These brothers of his really were brutes, not giving him the slightest face .

“It’s fine, don’t you have me to accompany you?” Guo Ran stood calmly to the side .

These a.s.sa.s.sins had been instantly killed . They were a bit surprised, because they really had been too weak .

“Boss, what’s going on? It’s a bit different from expected,” said Guo Ran curiously . Originally, they had thought this would be a nest of a.s.sa.s.sins, and that there would be a b.l.o.o.d.y battle today . But this had been too easy .

Long Chen sighed, “Looks like my expectations were wrong . This is just a place for them to hand out missions . The high level a.s.sa.s.sins probably don’t stay here . These a.s.sa.s.sins here are all just silver rank a.s.sa.s.sins . ”

“What? But wasn’t that old man a Xiantian expert? How could he only be a silver rank a.s.sa.s.sin?” asked Gu Yang .

“Their ranks have nothing to do with cultivation base . It is only determined by their a.s.sa.s.sination arts . If their a.s.sa.s.sination abilities are lacking, then even a Sea Expansion expert would still just be at the silver rank .

“Furthermore, the higher their ranking is, then each time their cultivation base advances, there must be an equivalent increase in their a.s.sa.s.sination ability . If there isn’t, then they’re essentially discarded . That old man should probably be someone like that, and so he had no choice but to be some random worker here .

“Because of the Bloodkill Hall’s rules, a.s.sa.s.sins won’t attack those with lower cultivation bases than them . And so this old man was most likely washed out . As for the others, I’d guess it’s about the same . Although their cultivation bases were also in the Meridian Opening realm, they were much weaker than the silver rank a.s.sa.s.sins I ran into last time . This time, it really was a miscalculation . Our strike ended up landing on nothing but weaklings,” sighed Long Chen .

“If it’s like this, then a.s.sa.s.sins aren’t as hard to deal with as I thought,” said Li Qi . Previously, he had been worried .

“You’re wrong . They are killers in the dark . As a.s.sa.s.sins, they don’t face their opponents head-on . That’s why if they fail to kill you in an instant, they will flee . Although their true combat strength is much weaker than yours, if they take advantage of when you’re off-guard, then any of you, other than Yue Zifeng, might easily be killed . They specialize in concealing themselves, and when combined with their a.s.sa.s.sination arts, most people would find it impossible to defend . Don’t look down on any a.s.sa.s.sin, because any of you could lose your lives,” warned Long Chen .

Their hearts shook . It was true: a.s.sa.s.sins did not face their enemies head-on . It was their skillful killing techniques that were the most difficult to deal with .

“Why did you say Yue Zifeng was an exception?”

“Because he’s a sword cultivator, and his spiritual perception far surpa.s.ses others . Sword cultivators are the most difficult targets for a.s.sa.s.sins . Not only will the a.s.sa.s.sin be easily sensed, but a sword cultivator’s weapon also never leaves their side . They’re also the fastest attackers of all cultivators . So none of you can beat him in that regard,” said Long Chen .

“Fine, I admit I can’t beat him . His attack speed really is monstrous,” sighed Gu Yang .

This large movement drew the attention of all of Chaos City . Experts from both paths were watching from a distance . Seeing this, they all sucked in a cold gasp of air .

Long Chen had actually attacked the Bloodkill Hall’s stronghold . Was that a declaration of war against the Bloodkill Hall? How was that any different from asking to be killed?

The Bloodkill Hall had existed for countless years . Although they were all a bunch of shameful fellows, there was no one who questioned their strength . Even the Corrupt path would never incite any disputes with them when they cooperated .

These silent, shadowless fellows were just too terrifying . They were like reapers who had come out of h.e.l.l . They might appear by your side at any moment to reap your life .

The Righteous path had waged war against the Bloodkill Hall several times in history . But their gains were very limited . The public strongholds of the Bloodkill Hall were not their important bases . The destruction of those strongholds didn’t affect them at all .

However, that kind of conduct did infuriate the Bloodkill Hall . It was said that a few thousand years ago, the large sects that had partic.i.p.ated in attacking the Bloodkill Hall had all had their elite disciples a.s.sa.s.sinated in just a single night .

That matter had shaken the entire cultivation world . The Righteous path had been completely infuriated, but the Bloodkill Hall had released word that anyone who dared target them would never be able to sleep peacefully again .

Those large sects were all extremely powerful with profound foundations . They had countless experts, but they were unable to do anything to the Bloodkill Hall .

After all, no one knew where their headquarters were . No matter how much power they had, there was nowhere to release it . As for those a.s.sa.s.sins, they would tirelessly kill their elite disciples, and there was no way to defend against them .

The large sects stamped with fury, but there was nothing they could do . They could only give in and silently accept this fact . From then on, no one dared to cause any trouble for the Bloodkill Hall . The ones who the Bloodkill Hall set their sights on could only cry about their bad luck .

By destroying this stronghold, Long Chen had done something no one had dared do for the last few millennia . He had once more provoked the Bloodkill Hall, and he was just in the Meridian Opening realm .

“This time, the entire cultivation world is going to be shaken . ”
