Assassin Wu Liuqi starts with a bull and horse talisman and smashes Red Fang.

柒。

Having lived in the Xuanwu Kingdom's secret fortress since childhood, he had only two things to do every day: eat and kill, kill and eat.

As for sleeping and resting?

Sorry, sometimes the bunker schedules killing training during the night when people are resting.

For so many years, Qi has never entered a deep sleep. He is always on high alert to guard against sneak attacks from others.

Even under such harsh conditions of relentless killing, Qi still managed to break through the encirclement and stand out as one of the best among this group of "orphans".

The strongest!

Ordinary strong people would feel as if they had fallen into a cold cellar just from Qi's glance.

That was a tangible killing intent cultivated through endless slaughter.

Originally, Qi, being the strongest among this batch, was supposed to enter the royal family and become the youngest deputy commander of the Golden Armor Guards.

However, the leader of the assassins had made a deal with the commander of the Silver Armor Guards beforehand.

They brought him into the assassin organization.

In truth, Qi didn't care where he was going; all he wanted to know was what his mission was.

Years of living in the bunker had made him crave blood and slaughter like a bloodthirsty beast.

Only killing could bring him a moment of peace.

As a teenager, he was brought into the assassin organization by its leader and met a group of so-called strongmen known as the Shadow Assassins.

Qi was somewhat disappointed.

These so-called strongmen didn't seem that powerful in his eyes.

But reality soon slapped him in the face.

In his next match against Blackbird, he was defeated.

Qi didn't want to make so many excuses for her failure; a defeat was a defeat.

If it weren't for the smiling man standing below who shielded him from the Blackbird's shockwave, he would already be dead.

No, he didn't block it; rather, he casually slapped away the opponent's powerful attack.

Putting everything else aside, Qi admits that she absolutely cannot do that.

If he had stubbornly chosen to take that attack head-on that day, he would have suffered serious injuries, even if he hadn't died.

There's nothing shameful about admitting that others are better than you, and he's not a petty person.

However, this first battle after leaving the fortress also allowed Qi to see the goal he was chasing.

That is the Ice Emperor, Gu Qianhan.

Qi has always believed that she is very strong, and everyone in the Dark Fortress also says that Qi is the strongest.

It wasn't until that day that he realized he wasn't strong at all.

Gu Qianhan felt like an insurmountable mountain pressing down on him, making him feel immense pressure.

Then the other person told her that if she had a good knife, she would have won already, but Qi knew that these were just excuses for her defeat.

Did those people you killed simply lack a suitable weapon?

If a person can only gain confidence from weapons, and in the end needs weapons to support him, then that person is not a strong person, but a clown.

A true strongman should be able to take the enemy's head even with just a roadside blade of grass.

However, Qi knows that she cannot do that right now.

Since this person had shown him a clear path, he decided to give it a try.

He arrived in the Divine Forging Kingdom, and after making inquiries from various sources, he finally arrived at the valley where the Demon Blade Thousand Blades was located.

When facing the thousand-year-old evil spirit guarding the Demon Blade Thousand Blades, he displayed extraordinary determination and perseverance, ultimately gaining the evil spirit's approval.

At this point, Qi, who had obtained the Demon Blade Thousand Blades, once again remembered Gu Qianhan's words.

When you obtain the Demon Blade Thousand Blades, perhaps we can have a sparring match, if you're still alive then.

………………

Pulling herself back to reality, Qi took a deep breath and looked at Gu Qianhan standing below.

“I am still alive, and now I stand before you.”

"I have obtained the Demon Blade Thousand Blades, so please, Ice Emperor, draw your sword!"

Hearing this, Gu Qianhan chuckled. This kid really has guts.

"I once said that once Frost and Snow Cold Waves is unsheathed, it will surely draw blood. Are you prepared to be killed by me?"

Gu Qianhan grinned, revealing her snow-white teeth, and looked at Qi with a smile.

Qi did not answer directly, but instead drew her demonic sword, Thousand Blades, and gripped it tightly in her hand.

Seeing this, Gu Qianhan nodded and drew his Frost and Snow Cold Wave.

As soon as Frost and Snow Cold Waves was drawn from its sheath, the temperature in the entire Assassin's Guild Hall instantly dropped.

A chill instantly enveloped Qi, Black Bird, White Fox, and Shi Men.

Manjusaka tightened the fur on her clothes and collar, and casually exhaled a breath of air.

She was also a little curious: would Gu Qianhan really kill Qi?

wrong.

Based on her understanding of Gu Qianhan's personality, if the other party wanted to kill someone, they would either act immediately without giving the opponent a chance to breathe, or they would insult the enemy to break their defenses before taking action, aiming to kill the enemy by destroying their spirit.

This time, Gu Qianhan neither directly defeated Qi nor engaged in verbal sparring with her.

Manjusaka inexplicably thought of the other party's attitude towards the woman in white, and immediately raised her eyebrows. Could it be that this Qi has other uses?

Those who shared the same thoughts as Manjusaka included Fei Xi, Li Yao, and a few others who were lurking in the shadows.

They also guessed that Gu Qianhan probably had some plan regarding this boy, or that the boy was of use to her.

On the contrary, Mei Hong's brows were furrowed at this moment.

"Oh dear, Master, you really are something. Why not just kill this kind of guy directly? Why waste your breath talking to him?"

Qinglian spoke timidly in a low voice.

"Perhaps the master has his own plans?"

Upon hearing Qinglian's words, Meihong looked displeased and then grabbed her younger sister Qinglian's fair neck.

"What did you say?"

"Then tell me, what are the master's plans?"

As she spoke, she was about to bite Qinglian's shoulder, but Ruyan interrupted her.

"Perhaps your sister is right. I think the chieftain thinks so too."

Fei Xi nodded in agreement.

"Qian Han is a man of deep thoughts. Although we can't see through him, we can still get some clues out of him."

"The boy named Qi below is perhaps very important to Qian Han, or rather, he is very important up to now."

"We simply don't know what Qianhan intends to do with him."

"Alright, let go of your sister. The battle is about to begin, and they'll notice if you keep acting like this."

Upon hearing this, Mei Hong released her grip on her younger sister Qing Lian's hand and glanced at her with some displeasure.

"You're lucky today, I won't suck your blood for now."

Qinglian simply nodded slightly, without uttering any complaints.

This scene left the two sisters, Plum Blossom Eleven and Plum Blossom Thirteen, completely stunned.

Seemingly sensing her sister's strange thoughts, Mei Hua Thirteen couldn't help but purse her lips.

"Sis, I advise you to learn something good."
