Assassin Seven, starting in Shennong Kingdom!

Two years later...

The border of Xuanwu Kingdom.

In a jungle, several figures flashed by like ghosts, chasing after one other figure.

At the forefront, a figure shrouded in black shadows sprinted forward, dodging all the hidden weapons that flew towards him with incredible speed.

Clang! Pfft!

"Chase!"

"Be careful! His internal energy hasn't been exhausted yet!"

A burst of internal force was sent from a distance, but the dark figure narrowly dodged it. Not only that, but he also struck out with a backhand palm, and a terrifying burst of true energy was formed into a visible aura.

boom!

With just one strike, the assassin chasing him coughed up blood, his chest caved in, and he was critically wounded and on the verge of death!

The man in black suddenly stopped, and all the assassins also stopped, some standing in trees and some on the ground, holding all kinds of weapons.

Their clothing also varied, clearly indicating that they belonged to different types of sects.

They slowly approached, but suddenly, everyone stopped.

He looked warily at the figure that emerged from behind the man in black.

He had blond hair, wore a straw hat, and had one hand on the hilt of a knife at his waist.

The man in black's eyes flickered; he had already noticed him. He sighed, "Qilin, you should understand that I would never betray the organization. I just don't want to continue..."

Do you think such words are useful?

A hint of hesitation flashed in Qilin's eyes, but he still said with a slightly complicated tone, "Your faked death was quite clever, but you shouldn't have exposed yourself to save that person. Do you think we had a choice? There's no precedent for Shadow Assassins to escape alive."

The last sentence was spoken in a somber tone.

He felt helpless; each of the Shadow Assassins was a top-tier expert, yet they were completely powerless against him.

From the moment he joined, it seemed as if he was waiting for the next person to kill him and take his place...

Only death is the ultimate fate of the Shadow Assassin.

quit?

Not to mention the relentless pursuit by the Shadow Assassins, the pledge of allegiance made by offering the heads of masters from the six major sects when joining the Shadow Assassins was a death warrant!

The Qilin knew this well.

Not just him, every Shadow Assassin knows this.

No one joins the Shadow Assassins voluntarily, but once they join, even if they suddenly realize their mistake and want to leave, it's too late.

The man in black fell silent, then sighed, tore off his black robe, revealing a mangled body with only one arm remaining, and a knife appeared in his hand.

Whoosh! Clang!

They charged directly at the Qilin, and the two engaged in close combat, while the surrounding assassins all showed excited eyes.

The clash between the two shadow assassins was incredibly fast, with each move as if they were playing with fire, making it extremely dangerous!

After several exchanges, their moves were almost impossible to discern from any particular school, yet they were extremely simple and direct, each move deadly, yet each move was countered.

Clang! Ring!

Qilin was willing to back down and fight with only a knife, but he found that the opponent's single hand strength was surprisingly great, and he was suppressed and forced to retreat step by step!

Tsk!

As expected of the previous generation's second Shadow.

If he hadn't deliberately faked his death and lost an arm, I'm afraid...

However, he was only slightly suppressed. After blocking one of the opponent's attacks, Qilin suddenly grabbed another sword from his waist with his other hand and drew it out.

He's a dual-wielder!

Only when the second knife is drawn does it become serious.

Clang! Pfft!

Sure enough, he instantly parried the opponent's attack with his twin swords, then with a sudden shift in his waist and abdomen, he countered, not only deflecting the opponent's sword but also slashing it across the opponent's chest.

A splash of blood appeared.

The man in black was middle-aged, with a face covered in stubble and a somewhat weathered appearance.

As he was injured, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Is this the strongest shadow assassin of this generation?

But in just a moment of confusion, a terrifying orange aura erupted from the man in black, leaving a deep footprint beneath his feet. He instantly twisted his body and kicked out.

boom!

"Well!"

The Qilin Twin Blades blocked the attack, but the attacker was also kicked back a distance, preventing him from gaining further advantage.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye; the two top-tier masters had already exchanged dozens of blows.

"call……"

Exhaling, the man in black stared intently at the Qilin and said, "Qilin, you can't kill me. Don't waste your time. The others shouldn't be here by now, right?"

"So it seems you deliberately leaked all that information to distract others?"

Upon hearing this, Qilin raised an eyebrow slightly, then his expression turned serious. "But I'm sorry, you should know that for Shadow Assassins, there are no failed missions!"

Among the crowd behind, one person looked at the figure of the Qilin with an expression of admiration.

Mr. Qilin is so handsome!

"In that case, let me see just how good this generation's chief Shadow Assassin really is!"

boom!

A visible burst of true energy instantly emanated from his body, and the intense baleful aura directly converged into a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky!

"as you wish!"

The Qilin also exuded its own aura, but it was very restrained.

But at that moment, a figure walked out from one side of the two, and their eyes were instantly drawn to it.

At the same time, his pupils dilated.

A figure wearing a six-eyed mask emerged from the jungle, hands clasped behind his back. "Betrayal of the organization? Death is the only punishment!"

Click! Click-click-click! Snap!

In an instant, a terrifying chill swept through, and a layer of frost instantly condensed within a hundred meters around, with icy mist rising!

Shadow Messenger, Azure Dragon!

Rumble!

……

Before long, the scene had turned into a frozen hell!

The ice crystals that can be seen everywhere still retain a terrifying internal force that is extremely domineering.

The man in black was pierced through the chest by an icicle and died a gruesome death.

Qilin glanced at the Azure Dragon beside him, frowned slightly, then sheathed his sword at his waist and asked, "Even you're here, so isn't the leader all alone?"

"The leader saw through his plan long ago."

After saying that, Qinglong turned and left without even tearing his clothes.

After taking a few steps, Qinglong suddenly stopped, turned slightly to Qilin, and said, "Mr. Qilin, the leader thinks highly of you and hopes you will not disappoint the organization."

"..."

The Qilin paused for a moment, then did not answer.

After the Azure Dragon left, the Qilin rubbed its forehead and sighed.

Since taking on Yan Yan as his apprentice, his record of 100% mission success rate has long been broken, and he can no longer return to being the chief shadow assassin who single-mindedly pursues killing and missions.

Now, with Mo Lang as a troublesome disciple, his style is becoming increasingly irrational.

He glanced at the corpse, lost in thought, "If not here, where could it be?"

……

At the headquarters of the Shadow Organization, Azure Dragon returned.

“Night Wolf hid the item elsewhere, and he refused to tell us, so I had no choice but to kill him on the spot.”

Fei Xi tapped lightly on the armrest of the throne with one hand. After listening to Qinglong's report, she nodded slightly and then said, "I remember that Ye Lang's identity was exposed because of someone. He may know something, but he has already entered the Kingdom of Ster..."

"I'll go and bring him back."

"Let Qilin do it; he's better at this kind of thing."

Fei Xi sat up a little straighter, raised her hand to her ear, and activated the telepathic communication function, "While you're at it, gather some intelligence on the Kingdom of Ster. After that Bai Qi appeared, the Kingdom of Ster seems to have researched quite a few interesting things. Kill him while you're at it."

"Yes……"
