Many things happened that night.
— — originally, they were just going to complete a promotion quest, but they ran into Crow on their way back, so to celebrate, the two of them went straight for a drink.
It was supposed to be a drinking party, but it turned out to be a divination party.
Originally, he only wanted to perform Divination, but ended up running into a Wraith realm cultivator in the City Lord's manor, causing them to discover the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.
— — -without even thinking about it, the Wraith realm's Elder Du would definitely bring people here to steal this sword.
If that was the case.
Then he couldn't blame himself.
The orange cat sat on top of the city wall, silently pondering as he observed the direction of the City Lord's manor.
The deep night sky hung low, completely concealing its figure.
Sumeru Thaumaturgy, Ghostly Shadow of Night.
Buttercup's mark had been removed, so no one would be able to detect the existence of this orange tabby.
It waited silently.
It had always been very patient, especially when it was preparing to kill.
The night breeze blew gently.
The orange cat continued to stare at the direction of the City Lord's manor without shifting his gaze away.
Finally.
The main gate of the City Lord's Mansion opened.
7-8 people wearing yaksha masks walked out.
Elder Du took the lead, and the others followed behind him.
For some reason, Elder Du subconsciously looked towards the nearest city wall.
In the dark of the night, the towering city walls were like an iron curtain, protecting the city.
Even though the orange cat was sitting there, Elder Du couldn't see anything.
Elder Du didn't know why he was looking at the city wall. He subconsciously shook his head and said, "Let's go. We'll go to the Assassin's Guild immediately."
"Sir, should we prepare for battle?" The subordinate asked.
"No, I want to apologize to the chairman of the Hitman Guild in person and give them some gifts while I'm at it. Then, I want to discuss a deal with that devil" the Poison Elder said.
His subordinates fell silent.
"Sir … by now, everyone must have received the news and found out that we just had a conflict with the Hitman Guild. If we apologize right now, wouldn't that be a loss of face for our Wraith realm …" someone cautiously asked.
Elder Du was taken aback.
"Face is nothing. For that sword, no matter how much I pay, it's worth it."
His voice suddenly became cold. "Of course, if that demon doesn't know how to appreciate my kindness, I have my own ways to deal with it."
Before his voice died away.
The cat on the city wall had disappeared.
It abruptly appeared several dozen meters away from the Wraith realm group.
The orange cat observed these people with a contemplative look in his eyes.
Even though these people were running forward, each of them held a Life Talisman in their hands and released a circular defensive array together.
Once someone approached them, they would immediately be detected by the talisman array.
Although the orange cat couldn't understand this talisman formation, with his understanding of formations, he could roughly tell that Elder Du was the eye of the formation.
His every move, even a thought, could turn this talisman formation into an extremely powerful killing formation.
Although I can turn invisible in my orange cat form, if I were to charge in and attack, I'd have to turn back into my human form, which would be noticed by Elder Du right away.
So —
How?
The orange cat silently followed these people and patiently observed them.
It didn't find it annoying to kill, and it wasn't too late to take a life. Its calm gaze swept across everyone.
— — -these Wraith realm humans all wore different yaksha masks.
In other words, they could release at least eight Guise Hexes in battle.
Other than the defensive Causality Law, they also had Life Talismans and other defensive artifacts.
They seemed to be moving loosely, but in truth, as long as Elder Du willed it, these people could erupt with overwhelming fighting strength at any moment.
It's almost impossible to kill them all at once.
Unless …
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a bit and finally confirmed the answer.
— — -unless they didn't notice me at all.
Furthermore, no matter how short the battle is, I can't let them activate the talisman formation!
To achieve this, I must first take care of Elder Du, because the entire talisman formation is under his control.
The orange cat thought for a bit, then silently called out to the swords in his mind.
"Luo Bingli, Earth, Chao Yin sword, the main fighting force will be Shannu and me, the two of you will guard my left and right, block any enemy while I activate my Secret Art"
"Got it (oong)"
Luo Bingli, the Earth sword, and the Chao Yin sword all responded.
"Shannu, we might need to use a new method of combat" the orange cat then told the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.
"Yes, I'll listen to gongzi" Shannu replied.
Her tone wasn't as cold and aloof as it was before, instead, it sounded a bit more obedient.
The orange cat couldn't tell at all, so he simply wagged his tail and continued: "When I use my sword seal, you will have to cooperate with me, because this is the first time I'm using this position to wield the sword, so I might not be able to use enough strength"
"Ah? What does' first time I'm using this position to wield the sword 'mean, gongzi? "Shannu was completely confused.
"Because I can't expose myself, I'll …"
The orange cat carefully explained everything.
Finally, he had finalized all of the details.
The Wraith realm group had already made it halfway there, only two more streets to go before they reached the Hitman Guild.
The orange cat arrived at the end of the street ahead of them.
He crouched on the ground, squinting his eyes as he watched the Wraith realm group approaching.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, soon reaching a few hundred meters.
"I'm going" the orange cat said in a low voice.
"Got it (oong)!" the four swords responded at once.
At the very next moment, the orange cat reached out his tail and caught the Six Paths Great Mountain sword from the void of space.
As soon as the sword caught his tail, the orange cat disappeared.
— — -Divine Skill, [Shadow Shift]!
When he obtained this Divine Skill, the War God UI had a description: [This Skill is a Law-grade Divine Skill, no living being is able to resist it, no formations, barriers, or even Secret Arts would be able to stop it]
It was thanks to this Divine Skill that he managed to trap and kill Qi Yan last time.
And right now, even though these Wraith realm people were being protected by talisman formations, [Shadow Shift] was able to ignore all obstacles!
In the blink of an eye, the orange cat had switched places with Elder Du.
The orange cat arrived at the center of the group, while Elder Du had been switched out.
As soon as Elder Du left, the talisman formations immediately dissipated.
Right at this moment, the orange cat moved his tail and abruptly activated his sword seal!
Secret Art, [Full Moon Consecutive Slashes]!
— — this was a sword seal that both the orange cat and Shannu were using at the same time!
A white crescent sword phantom drew a full moon in the air, giving off a blinding light in the darkness of the night.
"What!?"
"Damn it, someone — —"
"Hitman!"
"What's going on — —"
The group of people shouted as they unleashed various colorful defensive techniques — — -
But their swords were broken.
Everything was useless.
The sharp sword phantoms sliced the enemies in half, splattering blood — — -
But the orange cat didn't even bother to look at them. He raised his front paw and threw a punch at Elder Du who was several hundred meters away!
[Ethereal], [Grand Mountain]!
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. As soon as Elder Du was teleported away, he only had time to perform a single attack — — -
But as soon as he unleashed it, a mocking 'wu wu' resounded from the void of space.
Against that attack, a similar technique manifested and clashed head-on.
Boom!!!
A thunderous sound reverberated in every direction. Under the power of this technique, the entire street was blown to pieces.
In Void City, every building and street was reinforced by a unique power, so attacking one of them was equivalent to attacking the defensive capabilities of Void City as a whole.
But this technique still managed to destroy over half of the street.
Amidst the loud explosion, Elder Du's expression changed.
My attack didn't work!
Not good, I need to leave right now — —
The orange cat's long-distance punch had arrived.
Elder Du didn't have time to do anything else as all of his thoughts were shattered.
He froze in place, unable to move an inch.
A miraculous scene occurred.
Although his thoughts had been shattered, he seemed to know how everything would end.
"Demon … Devil …"
"How … did … you … do … it …"
Elder Du struggled and muttered in disbelief.
The orange cat glanced at him, then swung his tail and tossed the Six Paths Great Mountain sword forward.
"Meow meow"
He coldly called out.
The ice-cold sword spun in front of Elder Du, then abruptly stopped.
A female voice resounded in Elder Du's ears:
"Gongzi said, I can't tell you"
Before she finished, the sword had already circled around Elder Du's neck and drew a cold arc in the air.
In the darkness of the night, a head was sent flying.
