Chapter 565: The First Mission

Translator: Radiant Editor: Radiant

Da Er Hao had just witnessed the Abyss Sovereign awkwardly leave after saying ‘Tavern Master, I see you have come on a mission’. His knowledge might not be as encompassing as some of the other Great Demonic God, but he could still determine that crimson-robed man, an expert able to force His Majesty to awkwardly depart, likely has the combat power of a powerful existence. This, combined with the title of ‘Tavern Master’ and the mention of a ‘mission’, allowed Da Er Hao to fit the pieces and guess at the man’s identity. ‘A Tavern Master ranked assassin from the Bloodshed Tavern?’

‘How could this be? Someone sent out a Tavern Master just to deal with me?’ Terror gripped his heart. The Tavern Masters was second only to the Chief Tavern Master himself, who was none other than the top assassin of Deity world and Dark Abyss, the Bloodshed God Emperor himself!

‘It might be unbelievable, but only someone like a Tavern Master could force His Majesty to leave like that.’

‘Just who was the person who ordered a mission for my assassination, and even mobilized a Bloodshed Tavern Master in the process?’ Da Er Hao felt despondent and unwilling. With how large the gap in combat power between the two was, what else could he feel but despair?

Looking at him, Xue Ying slowly began, “Da Er Hao.”

“Tavern Master, Tavern Master,” Da Er Hao knelt down, replying respectfully and even adding even some flattering words.

“Tens of thousands of years ago, you have captured the soul of a Transcendent called Chi Qiu Bai, am I correct?” Xue Ying continued. “You should also have the soul of his wife. Tell me, where are they now?”

The reason Xue Ying even bothered to ask was that he could not detect Eternal Wind’s soul in the surrounding territory, despite having already spread his world domain to cover the whole area. As a result, he could only let Da Er Hao live a while longer.

Da Er Hao was startled. “Chi Qiu Bai?”

“Have you already forgotten?” Xue Ying coldly asked.

Da Er Hao looked at the Bloodshed Tavern Master. This crimson-robed expert had a cold demeanour as he simply stood there, with a mask covering his face and two spiral horns protruding from his forehead. He was even emitting a ruthless and dark aura of destruction. Under ordinary circumstances, nobody could imitate another living being’s aura, and Da Er Hao was not aware that the robe of a Bloodshed Tavern Master could achieve this very feat.

Having arrived at a certain conclusion inwardly, Da Er Hao asked, “Tavern Master, was Dong Bo Xue Ying the one who sent you here?”

Xue Ying frowned. “I am the one asking questions here.”

This person who emitted a dark aura of destruction was a powerful existence from the Dark Abyss—of this, Da Er Hao was certain! He also confirmed his identity as a Bloodshed Tavern Master. The way he saw it, the Xue Ying he knew might have high innate talent, but the news he heard only mentioned him having the power of a stage four World Deity despite being a stage three World Deity. Naturally, this level was not sufficient for Xue Ying to take up the position as a Bloodshed Tavern Master, much less to imitate another living being’s aura.

Even then, he considered that with the incredible potential Xue Ying showed, in addition to his status as a personal disciple of the Bloodshed God Emperor, he would likely succeed in sending out a Bloodshed Tavern Master.

“Tavern Master, for someone of your caliber, killing me would be no more difficult than pinching a little insect to death.” Da Er Hao chuckled. “The way I’ve heard it, Dong Bo puts a lot of emphasis on his relationships, and no matter how I think of it, he is the only enemy I’ve made who could afford to send out a Tavern Master! If I were to just tell you all I know, Tavern Master, you would likely just kill me with a flip of your hand afterward.”

“Oh?” Xue Ying let out a low growl accompanied by clear killing intent.

“Hehehe, don’t try to scare me, Tavern Master.” Da Er Hao took the initiative to stand up. “If you wish to kill me, you can go ahead and do so, but if you want to find out Chi Qiu Bai’s location, you must first pledge an oath with the Will of the Abyss itself as a witness!”

The Will of the Abyss was the most threatening force for any lifeform of the Dark Abyss.

Even experts from the Deity world or the material realm would not dare to easily pledge an oath with Will of the Abyss as a witness. It was well-known that the moment one broke one such oath, the Will of the Abyss would retaliate with terrifying might!

“Refuse to pledge the oath, and you won’t get the information even if you kill me…” The corners of Da Er Hao’s lips twitched upwards.

Peng!

That was when, without warning, Xue Ying’s sent out a slap using his right hand. This strike swept across Da Er Hao’s Great Demonic God body like a terrifying tsunami. Quickly afterward, Xue Ying’s luminous sun force permeated through his body, blocking his True Deity Heart from fleeing and sealing it within moments.

Da Er Hao’s body was thus destroyed.
