On the third day after leaving Soul City, Dumby and Phoenix Slayer arrived at Dark City. When Dumby saw this Dark City that he hadn't seen for a long time, a bitter feeling welled up in his heart. Dumby caressed Bing's portrait and muttered, "Bing, I know that you don't want to return to this filthy place. However, in order to avenge Uncle Owen, I had no choice but to come here. Don't worry, as long as we eliminate the assassins here, I'll take you away from here as soon as possible. "Phoenix Slayer looked at Dumb's desolate expression and coldly said," What are you talking about? Who is Ice? "
Dumb sighed and walked toward the gate of Dark City as he said, "Phoenix Slayer, do you know? You're still alive because of Ice. "
Dumb's words piqued Phoenix Slayer's interest, and he asked, "Who is Ice? Why aren't you killing me because of her? "
Coming to Dark City once again caused a crack to appear in the elder brother's frozen heart. He mournfully said, "Ice is a very pitiful girl. If she hadn't risked her life to save me, I would have died long ago. …" He couldn't help but tell Phoenix Slayer about what had happened between him and Ice. When he finished, his tears had already soaked his clothes.
After listening to the elder brother's narration, Phoenix Slayer's eyes became hazy. "She was very pitiful, but she was also very fortunate. At least after she died, you were always thinking about her."
Dumb used his sleeves to wipe his tears and said, "Now you understand why I hate the dark forces. When you tried to assassinate me for the first time, if it wasn't for your cold demeanor, I wouldn't have been merciful. Although my hatred for the thieves' union isn't as strong as my hatred for the assassins, it's not much different. "
Phoenix Slayer said, "You'll never have the chance to deal with the thieves' union. After all, no one will lead you to our nest. "
Dumb glanced at Phoenix Slayer and regained his cold demeanor. He indifferently said, "Don't be so sure. If I want to, the thieves' union won't be able to hide forever. Let's go. Take me to the assassin's union. "Dumb's gaze caused Phoenix Slayer's heart to tremble. Thinking of the way he killed people, he couldn't help but worry for his union.
Three hours later, Dumb and Phoenix Slayer left. The only difference from when they had arrived was that Dumb had taken several dozen lives. Although those assassins were the nightmares of everyone on the continent, they were completely defenseless against a peerless expert like Dumb. After leaving Dark City, the killing intent in Dumb's eyes gradually disappeared. He muttered, "Four Exterminators, eleven Ninja Killers, and twenty-three ordinary killers. The harvest this time is quite big. Who knows, it might not take long before the Assassin Guild's President who is hiding in the dark takes the initiative to look for me. "
Phoenix Slayer discovered that he was becoming more and more afraid of this simple-looking youth in front of him. Every time he looked into his ice-cold eyes, his resolute heart would tremble. Now, even she did not know if she had made the right decision when she agreed to Dumb's conditions. But since she had already embarked on this path, she could not turn back.
One month later, Assassin Guild Headquarters.
In the darkness, two red lights were constantly flashing. An abnormally oppressive atmosphere filled the entire dark space.
"Mie One." A cold and gloomy voice rang out.
"Master, please give me your orders." Ever since the previous Vice President had been demoted to an Exterminator by the Master, Mie One and the others had become the Master's most powerful assistants. He was now the leader of the Yuansha Team.
"According to the information we obtained, the Grim Reaper has reappeared in the Setting Sun Empire. This time, he seems to be deliberately opposing our Assassin Guild. Within a month, he destroyed seven of our strongholds in the Darkness Province, as well as our branch in Dark City. Not a single person was left alive. What do you think of this provocative behavior? "
Mie One said, "This subordinate already knows about this matter. However, we can't be sure that the Grim Reaper this time isn't the Netherworld King's disciple, Dumb. His killing methods seem to be different from before. "
The Master grunted and said, "I've noticed this problem as well. In the past, the Grim Reaper mostly used the Netherworld King's Sword to kill people. Even if he doesn't use it, he will still brutally kill the enemy. And in our strongholds that have been attacked, only one corpse will be destroyed each time. The rest will have their eyebrows pierced by a sharp object that looks like a steel needle. "
Mie One thought to himself, 'You also know the word' cruel '? Compared to you, that Grim Reaper is far inferior. ' However, he said, "You're right. The Grim Reaper that appeared this time seems to be much stronger than before. I've gone to see those corpses, and they seem to have been killed without any resistance. Such powerful strength was truly terrifying. If it really is Dumb, our situation will be very bad. Because of the Netherworld King's matter, his hatred for our Guild is very strong. I'm afraid that the massacre will continue. Especially since he still has the Netherworld King's Sword that he hasn't used. I'm afraid that the seven of us won't be able to fight against him. "
The Master said, "Nurturing a tiger is inviting calamity! If it wasn't for me wanting to bribe him, I would've killed him the moment he made his debut. If I had the Hell King's Sword in our hands, there wouldn't be so much trouble now. What baffles me the most is, how did he find every single one of our lairs so accurately? "
Mie One pondered and said, "This is hard to say. The Grim Reaper has disappeared for more than a year. Perhaps he has been collecting information about us. Moreover, this Grim Reaper may not be Dumb. "
The Master said, "Then tell me, who else could it be?"
Mie One said, "This subordinate suspects that this person may have been sent by the Holy Hall to warn us. In recent years, we have done a lot of big cases, and the Holy Hall has been paying attention to us. Those self-proclaimed holy guys always like to meddle in other people's business. "
The Master nodded and said, "You're right, it's possible. However, I'm afraid the Holy Hall can't protect itself now. In this case, Annihilator, you will bring your six brothers and ten experts who have just been promoted to Annihilator to find the whereabouts of this Grim Reaper. No matter what his identity is, once you find him, you must destroy him. Also, you must find out how he knew the exact location of our branches. Logically speaking, ever since the Thieves Guild disappeared a year ago, no one should know about our distribution in the Sunset Empire! "
Mie One bowed and said, "Yes, Master. Please rest assured, I will definitely complete the task. "
The Master waved his hand, and Mie One bowed and retreated. In the dark room, only the Master was left.
The Master exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and said to himself, "There have been so many troubles recently. Not only has a Grim Reaper appeared, but the Sect Leader also asked me to find the person who made the light rain. The continent is so big, where can I find him? There isn't much time left. As long as I can persist until the end, who cares if he's the savior? Hmph, the continent will eventually fall into our hands. "
Dumb finished circulating his energy and stood up from the ground. His forehead and sideburns were covered in sweat. Ever since he and Phoenix Slayer had gone to the assassin's guild to take revenge, he had been on a killing spree. More than a hundred assassins had died at his hands. However, as more and more people died at his hands, the ruthlessness in his heart gradually grew stronger. Today, when he destroyed a branch of the assassin's guild in the Sunset Empire's Hengze Province, because of his ruthlessness, he almost killed ordinary people who passed by. Dumby was shocked when he sensed the changes in his body. He quickly found a secluded place to cultivate. By relying on the holy aura contained in his true qi, he was finally able to suppress the ruthlessness. This ruthlessness was the root of the disaster that the Hell King Sword had left in the depths of Dumb's heart. When he was filled with evil thoughts, it would naturally take root in his body.
When Phoenix Slayer saw that Dumb had recovered from his almost berserk state, she felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart. She calmly said, "Can you put away that clone of yours now?" In order to prevent Phoenix Slayer from launching a sneak attack, Dumb would always summon his clone to protect himself whenever Phoenix Slayer was around when he cultivated. In order to preserve his life and continue his revenge, he couldn't care less about keeping this a secret. However, whenever Phoenix Slayer asked him about it, he would never reply. When Phoenix Slayer first saw his clone, she was greatly shocked and even tried to exchange a few blows with it. In the end, she discovered to her dismay that even though this clone of Dumb was the same as his, she still had no chance of winning.
Dumb wiped the sweat from his forehead and recalled his clone. He said, "I have to be on guard against a thief like you. We can go now. "After saying this, he turned around and walked toward the main road.
Phoenix Slayer didn't move. She stood in her original place and looked at Dumb's back. She said, "Do you really want to continue killing?"
Dumb stopped and said in a deep voice, "This is my mission, and it can't be changed."
Phoenix Slayer took a few steps forward and loudly said, "But do you still want to see what happened today happen again? You should know that if you continue killing, you might go crazy again. "
Dumb said, "I can't care about that. Even if I really go crazy, I still want to take revenge. Destroying the organization of assassins is my only wish right now. "
Phoenix Slayer angrily said, "You can't go crazy! Did you forget what you promised me? If you go crazy, how can I kill you? Don't you want to fulfill your promise? "
Dumb seemed to have been convinced by Phoenix Slayer. He turned around and faced Phoenix Slayer, and the coldness on his face disappeared a little. "I will remember my promise to you. My true energy contains a holy aura. As long as I cultivate for a while after killing people, I should be able to suppress it. It should be enough for me to fulfill my promise. Let's go to the next place. "
"Wait a moment." Phoenix Slayer stopped Dumb and said, "I can bring you to the next place, but you must first rest for three days and completely suppress the evil aura in your chest. Don't worry, I swear on the survival of the thief association that I won't launch a sneak attack while you are meditating. "
Dumb furrowed his brows and said, "The Setting Sun Empire is very big, and the organization of assassins has many strongholds and branches. We can't afford to waste time."
Phoenix Slayer didn't say anything. He just glared at Dumb with a resolute gaze. The two of them looked at each other, and time passed. Phoenix Slayer's resolute gaze didn't change in the slightest. Without Phoenix Slayer leading the way, how would Dumb be able to find traces of the organization of assassins? He helplessly sighed and said, "Forget it. I'll do as you say. I'm curious. Don't you want me to die? Why are you suddenly concerned about me? "
A blush appeared on Phoenix Slayer's ice-cold face, and he said, "I want you to die. That's why I cherish your life. You must keep your life until I fulfill my promise. "
Dumb looked deeply at Phoenix Slayer, and his deep gaze caused Phoenix Slayer's heart to palpitate. Dumb said, "Where are we going now? We can't just stay here, right? "
Phoenix Slayer said, "Let's go to the next city. After three days, I'll naturally tell you where it is, and you can continue with your mission."
Dumb nodded, and the two of them headed to the next city under Phoenix Slayer's guidance. What Dumb didn't know was that Phoenix Slayer's decision to let him rest for three days saved him from the possibility of going crazy due to excessive killing.
With the three of them together, Dumby spent three whole days meditating and cultivating. During these three days, he used the pure and thick life energy to continuously cleanse his mind. Since his strength had already surpassed the second golden body that Tiangang Kensei had given him, he could now absorb the second golden body's energy much faster than before. He had already absorbed more than 60% of Tiangang Kensei's 120% strength. Compared to a month ago, when Dumb fought against the Western Swordmaster, his strength had become even more profound. The fifth transformation, the life transformation, had already stabilized, and he could now easily use the purple life energy to solidify. Every time the life transformation advanced, there would be a qualitative leap. The solid energy had already become Dumb's most advantageous way to kill his enemies. He was continuously advancing towards the peak of martial skills.
After knocking on Phoenix Slayer's door, Dumb entered the room next to his. Phoenix Slayer was wearing ordinary civilian clothes, and her long black hair was simply combed behind her back. At the moment, she looked very calm. It was impossible to tell that she was a powerful person.
"It's been three days. Can you take me to the assassin's guild's base now?"
Phoenix Slayer nodded, and said, "Sure, let's go. Have you suppressed the killing intent in your heart? Can you control it? "
Dumb shook his head, and said, "I'm not too sure, either. However, it seems that the feeling isn't as strong as it was a few days ago. In fact, this baleful aura is mainly due to the accumulation of the past. The evil aura of the Hell King's Sword has already invaded my meridians when I saved the elves a few years ago. I'm afraid that it will be very difficult to get rid of it. Unless I never kill again, that crazy heart of slaughter will always reappear. However, you don't have to worry. From now on, I'll slow down my killing speed. After destroying a base of assassin's guild, I'll rest for a few days. This way, I should be able to complete two of my wishes. As long as I'm dead, the baleful aura in my body will naturally cease to cause trouble. "
Phoenix Slayer suddenly felt a dull pain in his heart as he watched Dumb calmly describe the possibility of his death. He forcefully shook off this thought, and said, "Wait for me outside. We'll leave after tidying up."
Dumb nodded, turned around, and walked out of Phoenix Slayer's room.
Phoenix Slayer closed the door and leaned against the wall, gasping for breath. He grabbed his neat long hair with both hands and muttered to himself, "Why? Why is it that the longer I stay with him, the less killing intent I feel? Should I really seek revenge on him? Why is it like this? No, I must avenge Fourth Uncle. I can't give up so easily. " She clenched her teeth and did her best to calm herself down. When she regained her usual ice-cold demeanor, she tidied up a bit and left the hotel with Dumb.
Three hours later.
Another branch of the assassin's guild had been destroyed. Phoenix Slayer couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he saw the red glow in the depths of Dumb's eyes. Even though he knew that killing was very harmful to him, he still continued to kill. It seemed that his willpower was much stronger than mine! If … If he didn't take revenge, what would he become? Perhaps he would really become the most powerful person on the continent, just as the Western Sword Sage had said. After all, he was still very young.
Dumb's voice echoed. "Let's go to the next city to rest. Perhaps it's because I meditated for three days, but I feel much more comfortable. I don't seem to desire killing that much today. It seems that my judgment was correct. Can you tell me how many branches of the assassin's guild are left? "
Phoenix Slayer was roused from his thoughts, and he said, "You've destroyed about a quarter of the assassin's guild. Even if you slow down, it should be about half a year's time. "
Dumb nodded, and said, "Alright, let's slow down." When he had slaughtered the ten or so assassins of the assassin's guild, he had discovered that his control over the energy had become much smoother, and his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds. Because everything had been going smoothly, Dumb had already thought about the competition between the Four Great Sword Saints that would take place a year from now. That was a competition that he couldn't afford to lose. The reason why he had decided to slow down was because he wanted to suppress the killing intent in his heart, and it was also because he wanted to continuously increase his strength. He had already made a firm resolution in his heart. He definitely wouldn't disappoint his grandmaster.
The Setting Sun Empire was indeed very large. Even with Dumb and Phoenix Slayer's advanced speed, it took them another two months to cover half of it. The assassin's guild's strongholds were destroyed one after another by Dumb. However, Dumb wasn't satisfied with his results. After all, even though he had killed several hundred assassins, the core strength of the assassin's guild had yet to appear. Even though he had only killed nine assassins who were at the level of a Slayer, he hadn't seen a single Slayer. Even though he wouldn't let those low-level assassins go, he was more eager to wipe out the assassin's guild's high-level assassins. Only then would he be able to weaken the assassin's guild's strength.
During these two months, Dumb had spent more than half of his time cultivating. His energy was becoming denser and denser, and the first golden body in his dantian was already close to five inches tall. As for the second golden body in his chest, it was already less than three inches tall. Even though the energy transformation hadn't reached the sixth transformation, Dumb knew that with his current strength, he should be able to defeat the Western Sword Saints. Sometimes, even he himself felt that his strength was inconceivable. Every movement he made would cause a huge amount of energy to circulate around him.
Phoenix Slayer had been following Dumb for the past two months, and apart from exchanging information about the assassin's guild, the two of them had hardly spoken. Even when they walked, they would walk one after the other, as if they were two strangers. Phoenix Slayer discovered that he understood this tall man less and less. No matter how many enemies there were, he could easily deal with them. It seemed as if apart from killing and cultivating, there was nothing else in his life. However, a trace of desolation would occasionally flash in the depths of his eyes, causing Phoenix Slayer's heart to tremble. That wasn't something a person without feelings could display!
It had already been a day since they had wiped out the previous stronghold. Since there weren't many people in the previous stronghold, Dumb's killing intent hadn't been aroused much. After resting for a day, Dumb decided to head to the next stronghold.
Tai Ang City was located in the southwest of the Sunset Empire. It was a large city in the Luzi Province, and it was also the capital of the Luzi Province. Dumb had come here when he was rescuing the elves. This was one of the industrial cities of the Sunset Empire. Compared to other places, the atmosphere of corruption was much less here. One-third of the Sunset Empire's large-scale manufacturing factories had their headquarters here.
While walking on the streets of Tai Ang City, Phoenix Slayer said, "This is a relatively large branch of the Assassin Guild. It's even larger than the branch in the Darkness Province's Dark City. You have to be careful later."
Dumb nodded and said, "Do you think they can deal with me? Where is the branch? "
Phoenix Slayer said, "It's in a large warehouse in the east of the city. It used to be a granary, but for some reason, it was occupied by the Assassin Guild. There are guards around the granary, and ordinary people aren't allowed to enter. When I came to Tai Ang City to complete a mission in the past, I went to explore the warehouse out of curiosity. The guards there were much tighter than I had imagined. There were at least five Assassins there, so I only took a look at the periphery before retreating. Apart from the headquarters of the Assassin Guild, this is the place I'm least familiar with. "
Dumb nodded and said, "You should wait for me outside. I'll come out in a while. " The current him didn't care about assassins at all. In his previous missions, even Assassins couldn't withstand a single move from him. When he heard Phoenix Slayer say that there were as many as five Assassins here, the killing intent in his heart grew stronger.
The two of them quickly arrived at the east of Tai Ang City. Phoenix Slayer pointed at a tall courtyard wall not far away and said, "It's inside. There's a very large warehouse inside. Under normal circumstances, apart from the patrolling team, the other assassins would be inside. According to my estimation, this is the base where the Assassin Guild trains their subordinates. You have to be careful. "
Dumb turned his head and glanced at Phoenix Slayer. He couldn't help but feel that her repeated warnings were a little strange. She seemed to be more concerned about him than she should have been.
Phoenix Slayer didn't see the doubt in Dumb's heart. He just looked in the direction of the warehouse from afar. "Did you hear what I said? After you go in, you have to take care of the sentries outside before sneaking in. Do your best to kill the enemy's experts first, then take care of the rest. I'll help you keep watch outside. As long as the ones who escape aren't Assassins or above, I'll be able to take care of them in a short time. "
Dumb turned his gaze back to the ten-meter-tall courtyard wall in front of him and said, "You shouldn't have the opportunity to make a move." With that said, he turned around and walked toward the warehouse. Phoenix Slayer wanted to call out to him, but no sound came out when she opened her mouth. At first, she wanted Dumb to wait a little longer. She wanted to wait until nightfall to make a move. But when she thought about what Dumb had done in the past, she knew that her worries were unnecessary. But for some reason, Phoenix Slayer had a restless feeling today. It was as if something was about to happen.
Dumb stealthily moved closer to the courtyard wall. He concentrated his energy on his ears and probed inside. After a while, he discovered to his surprise that there were around 20 guards inside the courtyard wall. Moreover, they weren't weak. They seemed to be ninjas. A cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Dumb soared into the sky and landed in a relatively spacious area in the courtyard like a leaf. When his body passed the top of the wall, he accurately discovered a tall tree in the courtyard. There was a guard hidden in the tree.
The leaves rustled, and Dumb used his superhuman speed to sneak up behind the guard. Only when he was within one meter of the guard did the ninja level guard become vigilant. However, it was too late for him to react. An iron-like hand firmly locked onto his throat. The sound of bones breaking echoed, and the guard's body slowly fell onto a branch. His grayish-white eyes still contained a hint of unwillingness.
A cold glint of excitement appeared in Dumb's eyes. He carefully placed the guard on a relatively thick branch. The tree was dense, and he hid at the highest point of the tree. He wasn't afraid of being discovered. He could see everything in the courtyard from the ten-meter-tall tree. Around 50 meters in front of the tree was a huge house. Dumb thought to himself that this shouldn't be the warehouse Phoenix Slayer mentioned. He could clearly sense how dangerous this warehouse was. This was because he couldn't detect the situation inside even with his skill. It was obvious that this warehouse had been strengthened by a powerful magic. Moreover, it was a wind magic that was very mobile. However, this wasn't enough to weaken Dumb's killing intent. On the contrary, it made his bloodthirsty heart even more excited.
Since he couldn't detect the situation inside the warehouse, he would make his move from outside. Dumby kept activating his True Qi, raising his spiritual sense to the limit. He was surprised to find that his spiritual power had actually formed an invisible web of energy that was constantly flying around. The movements of all the guards outside the warehouse appeared in the depths of his mind one by one. Dumb knew that his mental energy had increased again, and he couldn't help but feel happy. He turned his head and looked at his surroundings. He decided to first get rid of the six sentries hidden in the dark. With a callous smile, Dumb used his fingers and lightly flicked a formless gust of wind at the warehouse's wall.
With a soft sound, the stone wall of the warehouse was blown up by the wind from Dumb's finger. Assassins were very vigilant, and the change in the wall of the warehouse immediately attracted their attention. The sentries surrounding the warehouse all looked in the direction of the sound, and the assassins hidden in the dark were also attracted by the smoke.
Taking advantage of the moment when the assassins were distracted, Dumb soared into the sky and raised his speed to the limit. Light purple solid-state battle qi strands scattered out, and the two sentries closest to him were instantly taken care of. He didn't stop and flicked his ten fingers in succession. Countless battle qi strands with even more powerful energy shot in another direction, nailing the other four sentries to their original positions. Six lives were lost, just like that. In order to achieve this silent effect, Dumb used his full strength. His body didn't stop floating in the air. Since it was daytime, his movements would inevitably leave a shadow on the ground. The ten patrolling sentries had already discovered his presence. However, none of them were able to make a sound. A vast and unstoppable evil aura instantly enveloped the bodies of the ten assassins. In that extremely cold and evil aura, their bodies constantly trembled. In their ears, a low and deep voice rang. "Hell King's Flash — — Heaven — — Earth — — Move — — —" The black shadow floating in the air brought along a dark blue light that seemed to come from hell as it flashed past. Due to its extreme speed, it left a faint afterimage in the air.
Wherever the blue light passed, the bodies of the ten assassins would stop moving. Their eyes were filled with disbelief as their bodies rapidly shrank and fell to the ground.
The black figure emitted a circle of white light. The gentle energy wrapped around the ten assassins' bodies and gently placed them on the ground without making a sound.
After doing all this, Dumb couldn't help but pant slightly. In fact, killing these twenty Ninjas was very easy for him. But the difficult part was that they couldn't make a sound after being killed. In those few seconds, Dumb almost exerted his potential to the limit. Whether it was strength, speed, or timing, he grasped it just right. In order to achieve the effect of not making a sound, he even used the Hell King's Sword that he hadn't used for a long time. Although the cold evil aura was nothing to the current Dumb, it still deepened the exhaust gas in the depths of his heart.
