The black-faced man shook his head and sighed. "So that's how it is. Unfortunately, you chose the wrong promotion mission."
Gu Qing Shan said, "That's right."
"Am I right?" the black-faced man asked.
Gu Qing Shan said, "Double-edged Eagle, Brutalizing Five, Venomous Wolf, and Peeling Heart, you are all my mission targets. Unfortunately, I can't find you, nor do I know your abilities. So, I can only post a mission in the Hunter's Guild and come here in person."
The sword was like a pool of autumn water, emitting a cold light in the dusky space.
The black-faced man's expression gradually changed.
"Wait, you're not a hunter?"
"Ah, of course not, I'm an Assassin" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The black-faced man finally understood.
The assassin in front of him was in the midst of a promotion quest.
He wanted to kill him.
The dark-faced man's gaze shifted to the other party's longsword and said calmly, "In that case, there are no treasures in this world. You issued a mission at the Bounty Hunter Guild just to gather us."
"Smart," Gu Qing Shan praised. "Are you ready? You can die now. "
"Wait! Wait! " The dark-faced man suddenly shouted, "Don't kill me, we can reach an agreement. I'll give you all my wealth, and you can spare my life."
"That won't work," Gu Qing Shan said awkwardly. "As long as you can reach an agreement with someone, you won't be killed by them, and you can even unilaterally tear up the agreement."
The black-faced man's pupils constricted.
He abruptly pulled out two sharp thorns and lunged at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan did not move.
In the next instant, the black-faced man had just moved his body when he collided with the void and froze there.
Gu Qing Shan moved.
His sword-wielding hand seemed to disappear for a moment, but it also seemed like he didn't move at all.
The wind picked up.
A howling gale welcomed the black-masked man and instantly blew him away.
The wind swirled up the blood that was as thick as ink and rushed out of the abandoned building, dyeing the sky a deep red.
Crimson.
Light red.
Light pink.
Under the dark and empty sky, everything was dispersed by the wind.
Clang!
The two spikes fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Gu Qing Shan let go of the sword in her hand and let it return to the void behind her.
He took out a mission list and looked at it carefully.
"One, two, three … eight people. Alright, the promotion mission is complete."
The other side.
Assassin Guild.
Tuk tuk tuk!
"Come in."
"President, the Fear Fiend King's promotion quest has been completed" Qin reported.
"Oh?" The one-eyed old man said with interest, "You advanced so quickly? What did he do? "
"He got the assassination mission issued by the Hunter's Guild" Jean said.
The one-eyed old man thought for a while and said, "That's part of the Hunter's Guild's elimination plan. They're determined to eliminate those gray hunters who like to attack their own people."
"That's right, after the Fear Fiend King received the mission, he felt that there were too many people to kill, so he directly went to the Hunter's Guild and issued a very targeted treasure hunting mission, then went to the treasure hunting area to wait for those people" Jean explained.
"Ahahaha, what a naughty fellow, coming up with such a labor-saving assassination method — — that's why he killed those eight people in the end?"
"No, he only killed one, the others died from internal strife"
"… So that's how it was, it seems he had already predicted it. Very good, very good, let him be promoted"
"Understood"
"From now on, you can tell him all of the benefits and training measures of the Guild"
"Understood"
…
The bar.
In front of the bar, Crow and Gu Qing Shan were sitting together, drinking and chatting.
"You've spent a lot of money today" Crow said.
"It's fine, I still have to thank you for bringing me along during the large-scale comprehensive mission" Gu Qing Shan raised her glass and said.
"Ahaha, don't mention it, I'll never bring you along again" Crow teased her.
"Why not?"
"Once you enter God Mode, others won't even get a sip of soup, so let's just forget about it"
Gu Qing Shan helplessly shook her head.
The two of them clinked glasses.
The bar was noisy and noisy. All kinds of monsters had taken human form and were enjoying themselves here.
"Why did you become an Hitman in the first place?" Crow casually asked.
"I was poor and needed money, what about you?" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"That's all I know" Crow shrugged and helplessly replied.
He thought for a bit, then continued: "I didn't mean to pry into your abilities, I was only guessing that the power that allowed you to instantly wipe out the entire field wasn't something you could easily unleash"
"That's right, that's definitely the case" Gu Qing Shan admitted.
"That's why I'm trying to say that Void City is filled with various organizations, Combatants, and countless abilities. Although you've become an Unsolvable Hitman, I still hope that you won't be too careless" Crow said.
Gu Qing Shan seriously listened to him, then raised her glass: "That's exactly what I'm thinking. In truth, I've always been treading on thin ice, afraid that I'll encounter some sort of unique ability and be knocked to the ground, never to stand up again"
"Ah? You sound like you're quite touched by that "Crow said in surprise.
"That's right, I ran into a Hunter today. His fighting strength was very low, but his abilities were very unpredictable" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He still felt a bit of lingering fear as he told her about the [Peeling Heart Demon Thorn] ability.
Crow also exclaimed in surprise.
While the two of them were drinking, their surroundings suddenly became silent.
Most of the people in the crowd had taken out their communication devices to receive the latest information.
Crow and Gu Qing Shan's badges also sent out a telepathic request.
The two of them exchanged glances, then turned on their respective badges.
A piece of information quickly appeared in their minds:
[Special news:]
[The Eternal Abyss' subordinates have been defeated on a large scale, the Wraith realm is currently advancing towards the Eternal Abyss]
[Through our investigation, we've found that the Eternal Abyss is still in a slumber state]
Everyone began to discuss this.
Crow also scowled: "I really don't understand what those Wraith realm guys are thinking"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Why exactly do they want to attack the Eternal Abyss?"
"Who knows? The Eternal Abyss is the strongest monster in the Void Turbulence. Let's not even talk about it. Just the powerful subordinates of the Eternal Abyss are no weaker than anyone else."
Crow took a sip of liquor, then muttered: "Everyone thinks that the Wraith realm people have gone mad"
"Does no one know their true intentions?" Gu Qing Shan asked again.
"None at all, they're too isolated, almost everyone is under the control of talismans and masks, you won't be able to obtain any information from them at all" Crow replied.
Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
What exactly is the Wraith realm trying to do?
After I used the seven strikes, I entered a temporary state of [Spirit Wander] and saw an illusion of the future.
In the future, the Wraith realm people ruled over the 900 million World Layers, killing and pillaging everywhere they went to collect the fragments of the Samsara, then finally set their sights on my homeworld.
Gu Qing Shan clenched her fist.
How could I let such a future happen?
"Crow"
"Hm?"
"How did you become a Titled Hitman?"
"About that, in truth, the highest you can achieve after completing an assassination mission is to become an 'Unlivable' Hitman" Crow thought for a bit, then continued: "To become a Titled Hitman, your codename must first be recognized by living beings and the infinite worlds, receive the support of the Laws, and become a Title — — - Titles contain unique powers that can help you improve your strength"
"In other words, my 'Fear Fiend King' codename will become a Title?"
"That's right" Crow confirmed.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit.
That can't be right.
The codename 'Fear Fiend King' does indeed have the necessary elements to become a Unique Title.
But those elements were all absorbed by my eye and turned into the World Technique [Fog Realm Descent].
— — in other words, the Hitman codename 'Fear Fiend King' has lost the possibility of becoming a Title.
Gu Qing Shan felt tense and asked: "Crow, can we Hitmen change our codenames?"
"Of course we can, why? You don't like the codename the old man gave you?" Crow asked.
"It's because of a few other reasons. In short, I want to change my codename" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Ah? Have you thought it through? What do you want to change to? "Crow asked with interest.
Gu Qing Shan paused.
That's right, what do I want to change to?
He fell into thought.
A full quarter of an hour passed.
"I … can't think of anything"
Gu Qing Shan was troubled.
