As Gu Qing Shan raised the Chao Yin sword, all the illusions disappeared.
Melody's real body appeared on his left, stabbing the dagger in her hand straight at his chest.
Clang clang!
Two consecutive sounds of collision.
Gu Qing Shan took a step back.
Melody didn't move.
Gu Qing Shan retreated step by step.
Melody still didn't move.
While everyone was confused, Gu Qing Shan took out a bow from his sleeve.
— — to avoid drawing too much attention, Gu Qing Shan didn't take out the Dreamscape Soul Artifact that Lady Fusi gave him, [Bow of Fallen Souls], but a cultivation world bow instead.
He slowly drew the bow, nocked an arrow, and loosened his fingers.
Sha!
The arrow flew towards Melody, but was easily cut into pieces by her dagger.
"Hmph, you think you can just stand at a distance and use a bow — —"
Halfway through her sentence, Melody abruptly stopped.
A sword appeared from behind her, lightly resting on her shoulder.
At some unknown point, Gu Qing Shan was already standing behind her.
He raised his sword without saying a word.
"I concede"
Melody sighed and said faintly.
Gu Qing Shan then smiled: "You only fell for it because you didn't understand my abilities, I hope you won't take it to heart"
"How about we find a chance to fight again?" Melody provoked him.
"Why bother, we're on the same side — — I don't like to fight with my own people" Gu Qing Shan said and undid the Azure Dragon Origin Hex.
"So you're a sly and cowardly fiend?" Melody continued to provoke him.
Being immobilized in front of so many people filled her heart with rage.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and didn't say anything.
It's just words, there's no need to win, it's not like I'll lose anything even if I take a step back, not to mention the other party is a woman.
He firmly remembered Shifu's advice to never offend a beautiful woman.
— — even if I do, I can't offend her too much.
Seeing that, Melody couldn't say anything else.
Her figure flashed and disappeared from where she was, disappearing without a trace.
On the arena. The judge looked at the big shots on the platform.
Obviously, the final outcome would be decided by those in power.
Gu Qing Shan also looked at those people.
Many of the people in the stands were in human form, but they weren't actually humans.
For example, the bald man sitting in the second row had jagged bone blades growing all over his shoulders.
After all, there might be existences whose bodies were even larger than a world. If their main bodies were to appear, it would be very troublesome.
Transforming into a human was more convenient for communication.
The big shots communicated with each other telepathically.
After a while, a big shot said, "The results are obvious. You can announce it now."
The referee loudly announced, "I hereby announce that the challenger, Ye Fei Li, has successfully advanced to become a 'Sealing Assassin'."
"Thank you," Gu Qing Shan said sincerely to the audience.
"Ye Fei Li, I saw the scene when you joined the guild. It seems that you came up with this codename randomly. Do you want to consider making a new one?" a big shot asked.
Gu Qing Shan looked at Qin.
His action was noticed by many people.
Qin thought for a bit and suggested: "Although it's not a Title, you need to let others remember you better. After all, you're already a 'Sealing Assassin'"
She suddenly smiled and said: "Perhaps one day, your codename will become a Title and spread across the entire void — — - this is something that has happened before, so I suggest that you take your codename very seriously"
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought briefly.
Every title represented the blessing of the Nomological Laws, which was a very good aid to all living beings.
I need to be careful.
Not to mention …
My constant use of Ye Fei Li's name seems to be causing him trouble.
Ye Fei Li once mentioned this before.
When he first entered the Strife Zones, he was shocked by the Bramble Bird Kingdom's welcoming party and couldn't calm down for a long time.
That's right, I shouldn't use his name anymore.
But!
But!
— — -my naming skills are terrible!!!
'Can't think of anything' is already my limit. Now that I'm an evil creature, should I call myself 'The Evil Creature Who Can't Think of anything'?
That sounds a bit ridiculous …
All of a sudden, a flash of inspiration flashed through Gu Qing Shan's mind.
There seems to be a way.
That's right!
I don't actually need to use Ye Fei Li's name.
Since I'm a Fear Fiend, an evil creature — — -
In the arena. The bigwigs only saw the Fear Fiend pondering briefly before speaking in a low voice: "I've thought it through, I really need a new codename"
"What is it?" Qin asked.
Gu Qing Shan raised his thumb and pointed at himself: "Sha Qiang"
Sha Qiang was the name of the Purgatory Archfiend, but it wasn't his real name, only a codename.
If Sha Qiang can use this codename, it means that this codename has been recognized by the evil creatures.
So I can use it as well!
That's right, that's it!
Gu Qing Shan triumphantly looked at everyone.
— — -silence.
The entire arena was dead silent.
On the platform, the bigwigs looked at him, not knowing what to say.
For countless years, the Hitman Guild's Hitmen had always walked the infinite worlds with a solemn, gloomy, cold, and merciless image.
They also had codenames or codenames like [Umbra's Hand], [Guillotine of Death], and [Gorefiend].
These codenames could easily win the trust of their customers, who would be more than willing to issue the relevant missions and wait for the Hitmen to kill the corresponding target.
But now, a codename [Sha Qiang] suddenly popped up — — -
What would the customers think?
This style of codename is completely different from our style.
He took it a step further.
The codename [Sha Qiang] is too impactful, it would completely destroy the image of the Hitman Guild that they've worked so hard to build over the years.
All of a sudden, a light cough resounded.
"Fiend, I suggest you change your codename"
Gu Qing Shan turned to see a white-haired old man with slicked-back hair and a cigar in his mouth.
One of his eyes was covered by a black eyepatch, while the other was as sharp as an eagle's. He sat in the middle of the audience, wielding a short scepter in his hand while a black bird sat on his shoulder.
This old man seemed to have a very high status, as when he spoke, everyone held their breaths and lowered their heads in respect.
"Isn't this good?" Gu Qing Shan shrugged.
The old man replied: "Making people laugh on the battlefield isn't a good strategy, because you'll find that your companions are laughing as well"
Gu Qing Shan said: "I'm really bad at coming up with names and codenames, how about you help me come up with one?"
Everyone was surprised and turned to the old man with slicked-back hair.
No one dared to say anything.
Qin clenched her fist and gulped nervously.
The old man smiled, then muttered: "I very rarely come up with codenames for others, very well — — -"
"A Fear Fiend is a fiend that feeds on the fear of living beings. From the perspective of this fiend race, you can be considered a first-rate killer"
He stared closely at Gu Qing Shan: "From what I saw just now, you had concealed all of your killing intent, almost like a cautious giant fiend afraid of harming its prey — — in truth, if you were to unleash your full power, you wouldn't only be at the level of a 'Sealing Hitman'"
"When you attacked, you hesitated twice, each time restraining yourself, lowering your technique and power by a bit"
"But as soon as your sword moved, endless aura of death manifested with it"
"Aura of death is the sign of the appearance of the Law of Death, normal people wouldn't be able to see it, only existences like myself can see it"
"Because you've killed too many living beings, the Law of Death has become accustomed to following you, ready to receive the souls of the newly dead from your hands at any moment"
"In other words, you've always been an agent of death for the past few years"
The old man took a puff of his cigar and exhaled: "I can see that you're a natural-born Hitman, a fiend born to kill, all of your techniques are for the sake of erasing your enemies"
Gu Qing Shan looked at the old man in surprise.
I've only unleashed a few attacks and he's already seen through so many things.
"Old man, if you praise me like that, the others in the Guild might not be convinced, they'll challenge me" Gu Qing Shan complained.
"Are you afraid?" the old man asked.
"I am" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The old man didn't believe her and asked: "You're afraid of losing to them? Or afraid of dying at their hands? "
"No, I'm afraid of trouble" Gu Qing Shan honestly replied.
The old man laughed.
"You're a Fear Fiend, your strength has far surpassed normal Fear Fiends, perhaps even the majority of them"
"If that's the case, I shall grant you a new codename, Fear Fiend King"
"I hope you won't disappoint this codename"
As Gu Qing Shan was about to reply, lines of glowing text suddenly appeared on the War God UI:
[The one who granted you a codename was the Hitman Emperor of the space vortex]
[His personal confirmation holds a certain meaning for the living beings of the void as well as the infinite worlds, your codename will gradually be known]
[Thanks to this, your codename: Fear Fiend King has now fulfilled the basic requirements for a Title]
[Title Quest: Fear Fiend King, about to begin]
