The Hitman Guild.
On the rooftop.
A white-haired old man with slicked-back hair was feeding the black crow on his shoulder.
All of a sudden, four black figures appeared not too far behind him.
The old man didn't turn around and only spoke:
"What did the new Fear Fiend King do today?"
One of the black figures replied: "He chose a Class 3 mission and is currently choosing his armor"
The old man muttered to himself, "He's quite motivated. Could it be that he wants to advance faster?"
Another black figure couldn't help but ask: "Chairman, we have so many Unsolvable and Unlivable Hitmen, why are you paying attention to such a newcomer?"
The old man smiled: "I've noticed that I've been too idle lately. From now on, I will pay close attention to every new Sealer Hitman that joins us, there's no need for you to make a fuss"
The four Hitmen were relieved.
"Very well, you may leave"
"Understood"
The four Hitmen disappeared from the rooftop.
After they left, the old man's gaze suddenly became sharp.
"Who exactly is it that even I couldn't find out his true identity with my abilities …"
He muttered and reached his hand out to touch the black crow.
The crow abruptly spoke: "I could only see a piece of parchment with the name of the secret protector written all over it"
"Can you see it clearly?" the old man asked.
"That's impossible — — even Void Lords like you and I couldn't find out who he was, and no one else in this world would be able to see those names clearly" the crow replied.
The old man went silent for a while and muttered: "If he's willing to work for the Hitman Guild, that means he's at least temporarily on our side …"
The crow continued: "As long as he's on our side, let him be, there's no need to purposely befriend him or give him special treatment, otherwise, he might think that we know something and become hostile"
"I agree with you" the old man said.
At the same time.
At another location.
The Hitman Guild's storage room.
Gu Qing Shan, Qin, and the hunchbacked old man were all looking at the jet-black full-body armor in front of them.
It was so heavy that the armor had sunk a bit just by being placed on the ground.
"Try it, if you find it too heavy, you can always change to something else"
Qin said with uncertainty.
Gu Qing Shan lightly tapped the Dragon Rider Heavy armor with her hand.
Dong!
The sound of heavy blows rang out.
The entire set of armor instantly dispersed, turning into dozens of components that revolved rapidly around Gu Qing Shan.
In the time it took for a single breath, the entire set of armor had been donned.
Gu Qing Shan put on her visor.
He paced back and forth a few times, drawing his sword and waving it casually. It seemed as if he was not affected at all.
However, deep footprints were left on the floor beneath his feet.
"I've already cast a weight-bearing spell in advance — — what a headache" the hunchbacked old man muttered as he looked at the floor.
Gu Qing Shan stood still.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
"Dragonrider heavy armor, full body armor."
"Magic Resistance, Elemental Resistance, Curse Resistance, Sturdy."
[Description: This is a high-quality armor of the Hitman Guild, a large amount of precious metals were used to forge it, capable of resisting all spells and physical attacks]
As a Sword Cultivator, Gu Qing Shan only wanted the armor to be able to defend.
As for killing enemies, he could do that by himself.
In fact, he had used the power of the [Orange Sovereign] to absorb all of the power of the three dragons. Ignoring everything else, just his physical body alone was already far superior to normal entities.
He had also persisted in practicing the martial scripture that Lin taught him, so his control over his body's bones, muscles, and meridians had reached the point of perfection.
The Dragon Rider Heavy armor had the best defense among the four sets of armor. That's more than enough.
As for the weight and whatnot, it was nothing compared to the power of the dragons.
Gu Qing Shan was pleased: "I want this full body armor"
All of a sudden, he felt his eyes itching again.
Another line of glowing text appeared:
[Due to sufficient World Origin power, your first World Technique has been completed]
[Please provide a certain amount of Soul Origin power to fully activate the technique]
Gu Qing Shan couldn't stay calm anymore.
"Aren't you going to take a look at the other items?" Qin asked.
"Ah, no need, I want to return to the resting room for a bit" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Very well, come here and sign your name, then come to me to collect your badge before you leave — — it should be done soon" Qin told her.
"Hm"
Gu Qing Shan quickly signed her name.
He pretended to be calm, returned to the Hitman resting area, and used the bronze key to open the resting room number 21.
He returned to his Isle.
"How much Soul Points do I need?" he asked.
The War God UI replied: [This World Technique has been prepared, please pay 10,000 Soul Points to activate it]
Saying so, he silently extracted a thousand Soul Points from it.
"I'll pay" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Immediately, lines of glowing text appeared on the screen.
[Within your left eye, you've used the Laws of the Inner Plane, the power of Primal Chaos, Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Iris Sword technique, as well as the Origin power of parallel worlds to create two different abilities]
[However, during the Sacrificial Dance of Swords, the worlds of the past had fused together and completely devoured these two abilities]
[At this point, the brand-new World Technique had taken its initial form, manifesting as the Mystery Iris Technique: Fog Realm Descent]
[Fog Realm Descent: When you activate this Iris Technique, you will remain within the world of your eye for a brief moment, then be transported to another location]
[Attention: You can only teleport between two worlds at most, and the location you teleport to must be the same place you've previously stayed at]
Reading the lines of glowing text, Gu Qing Shan froze for a while.
This ability — —
Seems to hold a lot of meaning …
He silently thought for a while, then stood up, left the resting room, and headed outside the Hitman Guild.
As he passed through the lobby, he went to the reception counter and greeted Qin: "I'm about to go on a mission"
"Come, your new badge is finally ready — — I'll come with you to prepare for your first mission" Qin said.
She gave a dark purple badge to Gu Qing Shan.
This badge depicted a blade and a sword, the two weapons crisscrossing to form the Hitman Guild's symbol.
"Thank you" Gu Qing Shan nodded and received the badge.
Qin immediately led him through layers of obstacles and structures, arriving at the mission activation platform.
There were already 7-8 staff members busily working.
They stood around a certain warp gate and began to make various preparations.
Qin loudly declared: "This year's # 692 mission, rank 3, begin preparations"
"Yes!" everyone responded.
One of the staff members walked up to Gu Qing Shan and quickly reported: "One and a half hours ago, the target appeared at the Kingdom of Ruins' royal banquet. He had just left, his ship is currently returning"
"The current situation is suitable for the assassination"
"We have calculated the best location for the assassination and are currently preparing the corresponding warp technique"
Gu Qing Shan said: "Show me the target's details again"
"Yes"
The staff member answered and lightly tapped the void of space.
Instantly, a kind-looking old man appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.
"The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Ruins, Fandersal, the slayer of 15 void races, overthrew the Kingdom's royal family and monopolized power"
"This mission's difficulty is ranked 3, the reason why it's so hard is because Fandersal has several dozen body doubles, making it very difficult for us to find the real target"
"Secondly, every time Fandersal goes out, he would always bring elite armed forces with him, as well as an advanced anti-magic formation. Once the assassination mission is completed, the Hitman would not be able to warp away, they would have to rely on their own strength to fight their way out"
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan said: "I understand, we can begin"
He quickly walked up to the warp gate and stood still.
Qin quickly tapped the void of space and asked: "Are there any issues with the information? What about the warp technique? "
"Everything is ready" everyone replied.
"Very well, this mission will be completed by the Hitman codenamed 'Fear Fiend King', warp is about to begin"
"Ready"
"Three"
"Two"
"One"
"Activate!"
A layer of white light appeared from the warp gate and enveloped Gu Qing Shan.
In a split second, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
…
The endless space vortex.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly appeared in the darkness of the void.
Not too far away, a large ship was slowly flying by.
"As expected of a professional, what a suitable location, a suitable opportunity"
Gu Qing Shan muttered, took out the Dragon Rider armor, and quickly equipped it.
"A lot of body doubles …"
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.
[Azure Dragon Origin Hex – Binding] Only when the other party responds to my call can I bind them.
At the time, the War God UI's description was:
[Any entity whose name you call, as soon as they respond to your call, will be immediately bound in place. In this state, although they can block your attacks, they won't be able to move or escape]
Then, can I define this response?
Gu Qing Shan's mind turned, then leapt forward and flew next to the ship.
He took a deep breath, circulated his spirit energy, and shouted: "Fandersal! You old scoundrel, come out and fight me if you're not afraid! "
No response came from the ship.
But very quickly, the ship turned around and headed straight for Gu Qing Shan.
"… This situation should also be a type of response …"
Gu Qing Shan muttered to himself.
If this really works, it means that the ability passed down by the Thousand Dragon Ancestor isn't just for calling names, the Causality Law power it contains has even more room to be utilized.
Gu Qing Shan's mind moved.
The Earth sword appeared from the void of space, turned into a streak of light, and flew into the void.
All of a sudden, a blinding giant sword phantom appeared from the darkness and struck the ship.
Secret Art, [River Blocking Iron Sword]!
Boom — — — —
The entire ship was directly chopped into pieces of wreckage.
Countless Professionists appeared in the space vortex.
"Bastard!"
"That guy isn't weak!"
"Go!"
"The Prime Minister has ordered, kill him immediately!"
"Everyone, go!"
They quickly gathered into an army, spread out, and charged towards Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan put his hand on his canopy and looked at the wreckage of the ship.
Amidst the crowd, there was an inconspicuous figure floating in the air, not moving at all.
Gu Qing Shan reached his hand out and caught the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.
"Found you"
He said softly and disappeared from where he stood.
