Chapter 124 Assassination!

The King of Fear


This title was like a bomb, resounding in everyone's ears, taking away the color from their faces, and creating enormous panic and fear.


Yinyao County Princess glanced around at her teammates, seeing that each one was pale, with solemn expressions, and hidden fear, and couldn't help but take out a small loudspeaker, using her mature woman voice:


“Who is the King of Fear?”


Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath, "The leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Soldiers Sect, his strength should be no less than your master's." Yinyao County Princess immediately showed strong emotional fluctuations upon hearing this.


She was very clear about her master's divine power at her peak, it was powerful to the point of being terrifying, a true human ruler. Guan Ya's face was extremely solemn, and she shook her head:


“No, the King of Fear is much stronger than the Lady of Three Paths Mountain, much stronger. The Palace Master of the Water God Palace once fought against the King of Fear, and neither was able to overcome the other."


“The King of Fear possesses Alliance Leader-level combat power?"


"What?" Zhang Yuanqing was greatly surprised: "The King of Fear is a demigod? That's not right, I saw his basic information, isn't he a peak Overlord?"


Guan Ya shook her head: "That's not clear."


But Zhang Yuanqing remembered the information he had gathered from Lian Sanyue – evil occupations don't have demigods.


Demigod is a stage within the Lawful occupations, not a title. Evil occupations do not have the demigod stage, but possess demigod-level combat power. Therefore, although the King of Fear is an Overlord, he can be compared to a demigod.


This was consistent with the information he knew.


"The King of Fear actually came to see Edo Swordsman in person, which shows how much he values the Plain of High Heaven. This also shows that my previous guess was correct. The Plain of High Heaven hides a rare treasure, a treasure that even demigod-level powerhouses value. That's why the First Emperor sent Xu Fu out to sea back then. If the King of Fear is coming, then the danger level of this task is not something that a few thousand or tens of thousands can handle," Zhang Yuanqing thought silently in his heart.


At this time, Yinyao County Princess raised her small loudspeaker and said:


“The appearance of your faces is covered with dark clouds, and there is a faint glow of blood, but it has not reached the point of certain death. If you really encounter the King of Fear, your faces would not look like this.


“Of course, when it comes to high-level Overlords and even Human Immortals, astrological techniques may not be accurate. You must consider where to go from here."


Xiao Yuan said indifferently: "Instead of talking nonsense here, it's better to listen to the follow-up content." Zhang Yuanqing immediately shut up and looked at Xie Lingxi together.


Xie Lingxi maintained her listening state and repeated the content of the conversation:


"Blood Drinking Saber said: I haven't been able to contact the King of Fear yet. This Heavenly King values ​​unfettered freedom. His phone is turned off when he is running freely in the sunset.


"But he is still considered responsible, and he will regularly contact headquarters to handle official business. I have already reported the information about the Plain of High Heaven. As long as the King of Fear contacts headquarters, he will rush over immediately."


"Edo Swordsman said: Please hurry up. If the Plain of High Heaven key is not retrieved for a long time, the Chizuru Group will report this matter to Sky Punishment. If Sky Punishment participates, I am afraid the Soldiers Sect will also gain an advantage. I remember that the Soldiers Sect has four Heavenly Kings."


"Blood Drinking Saber said: Ah, this... Trust me, Edo-kun, the King of Fear is the most reliable of the Four Heavenly Kings. Also, the Soldiers Sect now has five Heavenly Kings, and I am a subordinate of the King of Fear. Such important information cannot be reported to the other Heavenly Kings. Wait a little longer. If the King of Fear hasn't come tonight, I will call headquarters and report to the three Heavenly Kings."


"Blood Drinking Saber said: Edo-kun, I understand your anxiety, but I want to tell you that besides the King of Demonic Eyes, the King of Fear is the least murderous and most trustworthy of the Heavenly Kings. In the killing instance a while ago, he made a bet with the Marshal of the White Tiger Soldiers and lost a rule-type item to the other party. Other Heavenly Kings would have reneged on the debt long ago."


Xie Lingxi said the listening content word for word.


Suddenly, it felt like the personality flaws of the Heavenly Kings of the Soldiers Sect were such a wonderful thing. Grateful for the unreliability of the Heavenly Kings, Zhang Yuanqing said with relief:


“Xiao Yuan, immediately set up an altar and pray for the success of the mission."


"Shall we act now?" Yinyao County Princess asked, holding up the small loudspeaker.


"No, not now, wait until the banquet is over," Zhang Yuanqing said.


Acting now would mean facing two Level 5s directly. Although our side has the advantage in combat power, we still cannot form an overwhelming advantage, and it will be easy for the two to escape.


Xiao Yuan immediately went into the bedroom to prepare for setting up the altar.


A dozen minutes later, she came out with a slightly tired expression and a clear and pleasant voice: "It's done."


It seemed that the prayer had worked. Xie Lingxi, who was by the window, suddenly said happily:


“Edo Swordsman said: Let’s end today’s banquet here. I can’t wait to enjoy the beauty!”


Everyone immediately looked at the surveillance screen, and saw Edo Swordsman embracing a beautiful young woman, rising from his seat, walking through the corridor, climbing the stairs, and entering the room by the window on the second floor.


Li Chunfeng quickly switched the surveillance view. The computer screen only had two grids left. On the left was Blood Drinking Saber continuing to drink in the restaurant, and on the right was Edo Swordsman's room.


“Shall we act?” The Queen asked.


“Not yet,” Zhang Yuanqing stared at the computer screen.


While speaking, Edo Swordsman had already taken off his clothes with the help of the beautiful young woman. He rudely pushed the woman onto the bed, tore off her clothes, picked up her two legs, and began to rhythmically move with practiced skill.


Everyone in front of the computer screen watched silently. Original Heavenly Lord, the atmosphere was silent with a hint of embarrassment. Zhang Yuanqing's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly:


"At this time, a man's vigilance is the weakest, because the blood has all gathered in a specific area, and the brain's blood supply is reduced, weakening his thinking ability.


“Yes, it’s time to act. If Edo Swordsman doesn’t last long enough, it will be detrimental if he enters sage mode.” Xiao Yuan glared at him, and without saying a word, went straight into the bedroom to prepare for the curse kill.


[The old book friend who has known me for ten years recommended me a book-chasing app, Yeguo Reading! It’s really easy to use. I rely on this reading to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here .yeguoyuedu ]


Li Chunfeng tapped the Enter key to make the picture in the surveillance enter pause: "The picture of the manor surveillance room is the same as here. No one should notice the problem within a few minutes."


Time was tight, Guan Ya took the Night Wanderer cloak from Xie Lingxi and put it on. Following Zhang Yuanqing, she rushed out of the balcony. With a "whistling" sound, in the midst of the raging wind, the two who had disappeared from sight rose into the air and went straight to the manor.


Yinyao County Princess entered night travel, jumped off the balcony, and rushed towards the manor.


Panting sounds and fierce collisions echoed in the room, and the soft bed made a "sizzling" sound under pressure.


Taking advantage of the slightly drunk state, Edo Swordsman galloped to his heart's content, enjoying the warm and soft body of the woman under him, and venting his recent anxiety and unease.


He had some concerns about his future. Forming an alliance with the Soldiers Sect was like seeking skin from a tiger, but he had no choice.


When he was young, he had traveled in the North and mixed around for a period of time under the guise of exchanging and learning, thus getting to know Blood Drinking Saber.


Blood Drinking Saber knew his identity as a member of the Chizuru Group and intentionally befriended him, using money and beauty to pave the way. The two quickly became familiar.


He himself felt that maintaining contact with the most powerful Soldiers Sect on the mainland was a way to expand channels and contacts.


After fleeing to the mainland, he used the Plain of High Heaven key and secrets as chips to obtain the support of the Soldiers Sect and rule the island country's Chizuru Group.


He only took three divine artifacts from the Plain of High Heaven. If the divine artifacts were not there, he would only take one-tenth. What he could rely on and gamble on was not the key, but the location of the Plain of High Heaven.


Although the key was still in his hands, it would not be difficult for Blood Drinking Saber to kill and steal the treasure with some cost. But the Soldiers Sect didn't know the location of the Plain of High Heaven.


In order to prevent the Soldiers Sect from killing and asking spirits, Edo Swordsman had a foolproof plan. He had an item that could destroy the spiritual body remaining in his body at the moment of death.


And with the iron will of a swordsman, it was difficult for Mist Masters of the same level to bewitch him. Therefore, he lived here peacefully.


Edo Swordsman could only trust that the King of Fear was as trustworthy as the rumors said, otherwise, he would die without a burial place.


This was a big gamble.


But since ancient times, which king who dominated the world hadn't made such a gamble? If he won the bet, the world would belong to him; if he lost the bet, he would return to The Way of the Extraordinary.


This was the risk that the strong had to bear.


But this fearful situation gave Edo Swordsman great psychological pressure. He needed to rely on alcohol and women to vent his stress.


In a burst of rapid and almost exaggerated collisions, the woman's soft moans turned into sharp cries. Edo Swordsman's lust reached its peak, and just as he was about to vent it happily, a strong wind blew outside the window.


The next second, the window shattered with a "clang," and countless tiny glass shards burst out.


In the shattered glass shards, a cold light lit up. Sword energy filled the room, rising and arriving instantly, stabbing towards Edo Swordsman's heart.


Normally, Edo Swordsman would be alert at the moment the strong wind blew, but with Xiao Yuan's prayer and the fact that he was in a state of explosive arousal, his reaction was slow.


He only had time to dodge sideways, avoiding the blow that was aimed at his vital point.


Pfft! The bronze sword pierced into Edo Swordsman's stomach and pierced through from behind.


Edo Swordsman ignored the pain, leaned his body backward, breaking free from the bronze sword, and his buttock muscles bulged. His right leg kicked towards the sky.


With a "pa" sound, the air was kicked out with a bang. He kicked the attacker solidly.


A figure crashed heavily into the wall. It was a mixed-race beauty with a ponytail. She held a sword in her right hand and her left arm was twisted strangely. Her pretty face was pale with pain.


Facing a swordsman of the same profession, Guan Ya's swordsmanship and fighting skills, even if they were stronger than the opponent's, could not present an overwhelming advantage.


And with a difference of one level, the opponent's speed and strength could crush Level 4 Guan Ya.


Without the help of top-quality items, a Level 5 swordsman could kill a Level 4 swordsman within thirty moves. People like Zhang Yuanqing, who have a lot of top-quality items, are ultimately exceptions.


Level 5 Scout has more than 50% experience points... Zhang Yuanqing roughly judged Edo Swordsman's level after seeing Guan Ya's fractured left arm.


Clad in a yin-yang robe, he immediately waved two wind blades, intersecting and slashing towards Edo Swordsman, who had rolled off the bed.


"Crack! Crack!"


Two deep cut marks were left on the floor tiles, but Edo Swordsman anticipated the arrival of the crisis and rolled away to avoid them. He didn't have any intention of entanglement. Naked, he rushed towards the door, wanting to meet up with Blood Drinking Saber.


As soon as he took two steps, a dreamlike starlight rose from the doorway, blocking his path. "Original Heavenly Lord?"


Edo Swordsman was stunned. The Chizuru Group had always collected information about the Five Elements Alliance. After Asano Ryo cleared the killing instance, the Chizuru Group became even more concerned about this young genius and collected his portraits.


As a former deputy leader of the Chizuru Group, he recognized Original Heavenly Lord at a glance.


A thought of shock flashed through his mind, and Edo Swordsman summoned a snow-white katana from his inventory, bowed forward, and chopped!


Sword energy slashed down vertically.


Under the influence of the swordsman's "deterrence," Zhang Yuanqing's mind was shaken, and he even had the thought that he could not fight against him. He quickly summoned the Violet Lightning Shield and raised it towards the sky.


The arc-shaped blade cut out dazzling sparks on the round shield. Edo Swordsman was about to squat down and sweep to cut off Original Heavenly Lord's legs when suddenly a "crackling" sound rang out in front of him, and purple electric arcs lit up.


He was caught off guard and struck by the reflected electric arcs, and his body stiffened slightly.


"Guan Ya!" Zhang Yuanqing shouted, and at the same time, an dark yellow light lit up between his eyebrows, quickly spreading across his entire face. Black and red colors outlined a violent and combative face.


Yellow Face: Physical fitness and skill strength increased. The Violet Lightning Shield in his hand melted and solidified into a small pumpkin, which he slammed hard at Edo Swordsman.


Deng deng deng, Guan Ya strode forward with her long legs, walking heavily and powerfully, like a lithe female leopard. The bronze sword in her hand was filled with sword energy, making a clear dragon roar.


Edo Swordsman, who was in a state of paralysis, turned his head slightly and flicked his tongue "Hyuu".


A black, petite kunai was spat out from his mouth, containing sword energy that howled and shot out.


Before the hidden weapon arrived, the sword energy had already cut off Guan Ya's bangs. As she ran forward, she hastily stopped and held up the bronze sword to block.


Ding!


The kunai bounced back and stuck into the ceiling.


The bronze sword in Guan Ya's hand trembled non-stop and almost slipped out of her hand.


After forcing back the female swordsman with a hidden weapon, Edo Swordsman's paralysis time happened to pass. At this time, he didn't have time to dodge Original Heavenly Lord's attack and had to block it with his sword.


He had great confidence in his weapon. "Yūgiri" was one of the Chizuru Group's six famous swords, a Saint-quality item known for its toughness and sharpness. Even a Mountain God of the same level could be broken by him in ten cuts.
