Assassin Seven, starting in Shennong Kingdom!

Xuanwu Kingdom, Deaf Gate Inn.

"Handsome, you've finally come to Xuanwu Kingdom again! You have no idea how bored I've been here!"

Looking exhausted, Lanminghua slumped over the table, chugging wine down his throat.

Qin Ming asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's this?"

"Sigh, it's all because of my senior brother. That guy is like a mosquito buzzing in my ear all day long..."

Lanminghua gestured wildly, his face full of headache, "And then, they even found a blond guy and a blue guy to watch over me, not allowing me to leave Xuanwu Kingdom to go out and play. It's so miserable, it's practically like being in prison!"

"Vice Sect Leader! The Sect Leader wants to see you back."

Just then, two young figures suddenly appeared to the side, and Lanminghua almost jumped up.

"Hey! You guys again! I've only been out for a little while! You've gone too far!"

"Vice Sect Leader..."

"Gulu gulu..."

Qin Ming originally came to catch up with an old friend, but it seems he now understands why Lan Minghua always wanted to escape the Tianlong Gang.

The number one gang in the world looks impressive, but in reality, it's just like the Shadow Organization.

No, it should be said that what the Tianlong Gang has to do is more complicated.

The title of the number one gang in the world is not only due to the strength of its leader, but also to the large number of experts within the gang.

Furthermore, it is essential to maintain order in this vast territory and prevent conflicts between hundreds of sects, large and small. If it weren't for the Tianlong Gang's presence, Xuanwu Kingdom, a place where people would fight at the drop of a hat, would have been in complete chaos long ago.

The six major sects don't care about these things; they're lucky if they can keep their own sects from becoming chaotic.

In comparison, the Shadow Organization is much simpler, constantly undergoing a process of natural selection and replacement.

Anyway, Xuanwu Kingdom has no shortage of experts, and even more so, no shortage of madmen.

"Hey! Handsome, help me!"

In the end, Qin Ming watched as Lan Minghua was taken away by Jianglong and Fuhu.

These two are still very young, probably only fifteen or sixteen years old, but their internal strength has already reached the second-rate level, and their martial arts are also top-notch martial arts from the Tianlong Gang.

He is clearly exceptionally talented and was likely specially recruited by the leader of the Tianlong Gang to assist Lanminghua.

He shook his head, deciding not to go to the Heavenly Dragon Gang; this place was rather boring.

Leaving the inn, Qin Ming led Long Ming on their way to the Kingdom of Superpowers. The Kingdom of Superpowers was closer to the Kingdom of Ster, but they had to cross a sea, so they needed to find a boat.

I passed by a gambling den and walked past it.

"Tsk, what bad luck. Out of money again. I need to find someone with a higher bounty to exchange for some gambling funds."

A woman wearing a mink coat and adorned with gold rings on her wrists, exuding an air of extravagance, walked out of the gambling den.

Suddenly, her gaze shifted and she noticed Qin Ming walking past.

This is……

He narrowed his eyes, then vanished from the spot in a flash.

As Qin Ming turned around at another intersection, he saw a figure suddenly emerge from his blind spot.

The speed was very fast, and the angle and timing were almost flawless!

An assassin, and a shadow assassin at that!

Qin Ming was slightly startled, but his reaction was quick. He unleashed a burst of internal energy from his feet, and his body moved sideways by half a step in a strange manner.

That tiny bit of space caused the opponent's attack to miss completely!

The special movement technique "Ten Directions Step" is a unique movement technique that combines the Eight Trigrams and Qimen Dunjia, and does not emphasize speed or agility.

Its strength lies in its "uniqueness".

Within ten steps, Qin Ming is invincible!

This is also the benefit of being proficient in a wide range of martial arts; one can handle any situation with ease.

"Huh!?"

Ying Dasheng walked past Qin Ming seemingly without any deliberate effort, and the internal force gathered at his wrist quietly dissipated.

After walking a distance, Ying Dasheng turned to look at Qin Ming's retreating figure, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Interesting. It's a pity the leader has already withdrawn the bounty, but this information should still fetch some money... Who should I contact?"

……

The border of Xuanwu Kingdom, at the dock.

The relationship between Xuanwu Kingdom and Ster Kingdom is extremely sensitive, especially the Shadow Organization. Ster Kingdom's high-ranking officials have always been at the top of the list of those who have completed assassination missions, and the bounties offered for them are getting higher and higher.

Therefore, there are not many ships traveling from Xuanwu Kingdom to Yi Neng Kingdom, and there is even suspicion of smuggling.

Qin Ming could only afford to buy a ship at a high price.

This is a merchant ship, and it looks quite large.

There are two floors of rooms on the deck. Qin Ming paid a high price to board the ship, but he could only stay in an ordinary room on the first floor.

Because there are two rooms on the second floor, one of which belongs to the captain, and the other... also belongs to the captain.

Second floor of the ship's cabin.

Several sailors were gathered in a room, led by a fat man wearing a short jacket with a scar on his face.

"Boss, that guy is going to the Kingdom of Superpowers, and he paid a high price!"

"They don't look like they're from Xuanwu Kingdom. They've brought a woman with them, and they seem quite wealthy."

"Tsk..."

Before him lay a lavish spread of food and wine. The pirate grabbed a chicken leg, took a bite, then glared at his men with a fierce look. "What's the rush?! Once we're out at sea, it's all Wang Luffy's territory. No matter how much money he has, it'll all be ours!"

"The boss is mighty!"

"Boss is wise!"

"Shut up, you idiot! They heard us!"

There was a rush.

Qin Ming, inside the cabin below, was speechless.

"I'm going to kill them."

There were two beds in the room, and Long Ming suddenly stood up.

Qin Ming shook his head. "No need. A master has also boarded the ship. Go and meet him, but be careful."

"Master?"

Long Ming paused for a moment, then looked serious, nodded, and got up to leave.

She had tried to challenge the Shadow Assassin before, yet she hadn't noticed anyone following her. With Qin Ming's reminder, it was clear that the opponent's strength was no less than hers.

Before long, night fell.

A figure in black robes silently dealt with the sailors on the ship.

Enter the captain's cabin.

"No, no... Ah!!"

puff!

A strange black longsword with an eyeball engraved on its blade killed the captain instantly.

From the shadows, a short blade suddenly appeared, piercing straight at the figure in black robes!

"Um!?"

Clang! Boom!

The entire cabin exploded with a deafening roar, and two figures leaped into the air. Long Ming's blade, now entirely crimson, pierced towards the figure in black robes.

But suddenly, a huge shadow appeared before her eyes!

Roar!

A gigantic monster, several meters tall, with an enormous eyeball on its chest, its entire body was pitch black!

A sense of fear arose in his heart. Seeing the huge monster swing its sharp blade at him, he instinctively raised his knife to block.

But the expected attack did not come. Just as Long Ming was wondering what was going on, a tremendous force struck!

The timing of the defense was off, and the ship was shot down instantly!

when!

Sparks flew as Long Ming landed on the deck, his sharp blade piercing through it as he barely managed to maintain his balance.

One arm hung down at his side, injured.

despair……

A figure in black robes landed on the deck.

Long Ming looked up at the other person with a solemn expression.

"His sword was forged by the Divine Forging Kingdom and is called the Blade of Fear. What you saw was an illusion."

came a voice.

At the edge of the deck, a figure stood by the railing, looking weak and with dark circles under his eyes.

"Oh?"

The figure in black robes revealed his true face under the moonlight. He was a young man with a thin face, sunken cheeks, and pale skin, and a head of white hair.

Looking at the figure at the edge of the deck, he said, "I remember you should be Lord Qilin's disciple. What? You want to stop me?"

"..."

Wiping her mouth, Yan Yan stared at him without saying a word, then glanced behind him.

The figure in black robes frowned slightly.

Suddenly alert, he turned around and saw Qin Ming standing not far away, seemingly having been there for a while.

How is this possible?! I didn't even notice!

The black-robed youth was filled with shock and instinctively took half a step back.

"It's hard to tell if it's real or fake, but that illusion probably comes from your fear. Continue."

Whoosh!

Qin Ming raised his hand, and a silver needle instantly pierced Long Ming's body. He did not personally take action, but rather tested the other party's methods.

He especially wanted to study the "Blade of Fear" in the other party's hands.

Long Ming gathered his true energy, then his feet sank, and he instantly rushed towards his opponent, engaging in fierce combat.
