636 Alliance? Or Opposition? (1/2)
This amazing feeling caused Chu Qi Hun's heart which was always as calm as water in a well to tremble involuntarily for a moment.
”Since we've already decided to end the fight, I want to ask you about one thing!” Jun Mo Xie kissed his treasured sword and kept it. Haha, today, this little thing has really given this brother too much face. The moment it came out of its sheath, the opponent's sword directly raised the white flag and surrendered!
What's called the graceful bearings of a sword emperor? What's called a sovereign ruling all under the heavens? This is!
Today was really too awesome!
”What thing?” Chu Qi Hun raised his head and looked blandly at him. After the sword appreciation event passed, the Supreme Assassin Chu also instantly regained his cold calm.
”Since you are called the Supreme Assassin, then, your profession should be a hired killer. The number one assassin organization in Xuan Xuan—the Blood Sword Hall, are they your people?” Jun Mo Xie asked in a solemn tone, his eyes turning slightly blood red.
”Are you looking down on me, or are you speaking overly highly about those bunch of thugs? Could it be that you think that I, Chu Qi Hun, would have any connections with that ragtag bunch? Those people don't even have the qualifications to carry this daddy's shoes!” Chu Qi Hun glared unhappily at him. ”Traveling a thousand li with just one sword and passing the journey of ten thousand li in closed seclusion. One man one sword, I enjoy my fill of loneliness and slaughter; that is me, Chu Qi Hun! What kind of dog shit is Blood Sword Hall? This daddy don't know them!”
”Then, I can set my mind at ease. I'm glad that they have nothing to do with you; otherwise, even if I admire you more, you will still have to die today!” Jun Mo Xie's heart relaxed and he stated casually.
”Haha, even if you don't want to kill me, I'm still dead without a doubt this time! I've never once held any hopes that I can walk out alive and return to the pugilist world after this!”
Chu Qi Hun laughed loudly, his face bitter and unresigned. ”It's really not easy being your scapegoat; for the sake of killing me, the three Holy Lands sent out no less than 300 famed experts! I first hid in the secluded mountains and then among the crowd, but was chased out again and again in quick succession. Their encirclement are closing in, and the final struggle is at hand. Previously, I could claim to be framed by you, but now, I've also killed three of the Blood Ocean's Superior Supreme experts. Both sides are already irreconcilable. Within this thousand li of mountain and river, I wonder which location would have a good enough fengshui to bury Chu Qi Hun!”
As he talked about his own life and death, his face remained unmoved and calm. It was as if this matter did not concern him at all. As a King among assassins of a generation, he had already accepted the possibility of death long ago.
Whether it was the death of others, or his own, it was all the same to him!
”Why don't you hide in the busy cities? It might be difficult to conceal yourself completely in a well-structured large city, but a normal city is not a bad place to hide in.” Jun Mo Xie asked.
”Am I, Chu Qi Hun, a petty scum on the level of dog thieves and chicken burglars? I am an assassin! I've killed good people and bad people indiscriminately, but I've never caused an innocent person to die for me! Although I've killed people as though they were wheat, those that died because of me all died by my sword or by my hands!” Chu Qi Hun's expression remained cold and calm, and his eyes blazed with a unique pride. ”This is an assassin!”
”If I were to die in the hands of others one day, I would not feel aggrieved!” Chu Qi Hun smiled coldly and turned his face skyward. ”Since I've come out to kill others, I'm already prepared to have my life claimed by others as well! There's not much to say about this kind of thing; you are an assassin too, could it be that you don't understand this logic?”
Jun Mo Xie's eyes lit up. How could he not understand? Just like how Jun Mo Xie had his own principles which he would never bend, Chu Qi Hun had an arrogance that belonged to him too!
Just as Chu Qi Hun had said, the three Holy Lands's strength and their lineup this time was extremely strong. Even he and Mei Xue Yan would not have any confidence in a head-on clash with them, and could only hide and dodge, without any chance of retaliation! What could Chu Qi Hun do!
The fact that Chu Qi Hun was able to hang on until now was already an incredible feat!
Just by relying on assassination techniques, it might be possible to deal with one or two of his pursuers… but if he was even tied down for a brief moment, hundreds of powerful experts would immediately swarm toward his location! Even if Chu Qi Hun's movement technique was amazing, what use would it be? After all, he couldn't disappear into the Hongjun Pagoda like Jun Mo Xie, completely removing himself from this world…
Take the battle a day ago for example; if not for Jun Mo Xie lending a helping hand, creating the best position for Chu Qi Hun to take action, there was no way he could kill two powerful experts and cripple one in a single move. If Chu Qi Hun followed his original plan to launch a surprise attack, he would only be able to kill one person at most. He would be exceptionally lucky if he could escape safely after launching his attack and revealing himself; where would he get the ability to rid himself of three powerful pursuers in one stroke!
”Before this, I was not willing to simply die! Because I didn't even know who it was that had set me up. Thus, I was determined to stay alive and find out the truth!” Chu Qi Hun looked at Jun Mo Xie with mixed emotions as he continued. ”Now, this wish is finally fulfilled.”
”To be able to see you before my death, I am appeased! Perhaps you may not be a true killer, but you are definitely the strongest, most peerless assassin I've ever seen in my life! I'll even say that you are stronger than me! Because you are much younger than me! I only hope that you can promise me one thing.”
Chu Qi Hun gazed solemnly at Jun Mo Xie and said, ”I can die, Chu Qi Hun can die! But, the Supreme Assassin cannot perish!
