Chapter 45 – Powerful and Mysterious Bai Ze
Clang!
The two long blades of 9527 clashed with the Orient Loong God Crescent Blade, and the blades shattered instantly.
A quick look at tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.
With the amplification from the Skeleton King's Ring, Qiao Yu's attack power with this strike exceeded five hundred!
Such a terrifying strike was something 9527 couldn't withstand. After all, an Assassin is high in Agility but doesn't have strong Defense.
After cutting through 9527's two blades, the Orient Loong God Crescent Blade slammed directly onto 9527's shoulder!
"Ugh!"
9527 coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his Health began to plummet rapidly.
"Stop!"
7438 couldn't just stand by any longer. He rushed towards Qiao Yu and the others, his speed surpassing even that of 9527.
He grabbed 9527, ready to make a quick escape. 7438 had calculated well; with such a cumbersome weapon as the Orient Loong God Crescent Blade, Qiao Yu certainly couldn't deliver a second strike in a short time.
But Qiao Yu wasn't one to let things slide easily; he was never one to suffer a loss.
Smack!
Qiao Yu swung his arm in a wide arc, delivering a massive slap to 9527's face, with such force that it knocked out a mouthful of 9527's teeth.
Seeing 9527 with a shattered shoulder blade and half of his face swollen like a pig's head, 7438's expression was extremely grim.
"My friend, you hit too hard!"
"Oh? You break into my house in the middle of the night, and you blame me for hitting hard?" Qiao Yu showed no mercy.
He knew very well that these two men in front of him were not to be trifled with. If he showed any weakness, he would surely face a storm of revenge.
At this moment, 9527's eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Qiao Yu. If it hadn't been for his companion's timely rescue, Qiao Yu's strike would have split him in half.
"Who are you? If you can't explain, don't even think about leaving today!"
Qiao Yu slammed his blade into the ground, causing a web-like crack to spread across the floor. He needed to find out who was targeting him.
The terrifying destructive power made 7438's Adam's apple bob up and down involuntarily. No wonder 9527 couldn't withstand it.
He now understood that he and 9527 had indeed picked the wrong target.
The man in front of them, wielding a massive blade, didn't look like a mage at all. What kind of mage could slap an Assassin's teeth out with a single blow?
"This friend named Ma Fei, we mean no harm. We came here just to find someone named Qiao Yu. We apologize for the mistake."
7438 first offered an apology to Qiao Yu.
"I suggest we let this matter rest here. Otherwise..."
7438 didn't finish his sentence but instead manifested his Attribute Panel.
It was a blatant warning!
"Name: 7438
Level: Beginner Tier (lv18)
Strength: 105
Defense: 30
Agility: 195
Spirit: 5
Intelligence: 25"
7438 didn't know Qiao Yu's attributes, but he believed that Qiao Yu couldn't be that strong.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken so many hits from 9527 just now.
"Oh? Do you want to try and see who dies first?" Qiao Yu said expressionlessly.
"Do you know why I'm called 7438? Because my strength is only ranked 7,438th in the organization."
7438 licked his crimson lips.
"Friend, I just don't want unnecessary trouble. If you think you're strong, I don't mind playing with you!"
Organization!
These two words instantly caught Qiao Yu's attention. The only organization he knew was... Hakutaku!
"Ahaha, ahahaha!"
Qiao Yu put on a show of changing expressions like in Sichuan opera and burst into laughter.
"Don't be so tense. We wouldn't know each other if we didn't fight. I was just playing a little joke on you two."
"Since it's a misunderstanding, I wish you both the best in finding that brat named Qiao Yu! If you need any help from me, Ma Fei, just ask!"
Qiao Yu said viciously.
"No need, we'll be on our way."
7438 didn't want to waste words with Qiao Yu. He needed to quickly take 9527 for treatment, or else he might bleed to death.
"Take care!"
After the two left, Qiao Yu couldn't sleep anymore.
"Hakutaku..."
Qiao Yu's expression turned grim. An 18th-level Assassin ranked only in the 7,000s within Hakutaku.
What kind of mysterious place was Hakutaku, and why was there no information about it on the Inner World network?
Looking longingly at his home, Qiao Yu understood that he couldn't stay here any longer.
His identity would eventually be exposed, and with his current strength, he couldn't possibly contend with such a mysterious and colossal entity as Hakutaku.
The only choice left for him now was to take the College Entrance Examination, and after that, head straight to Kyoto University.
He believed that even an organization like Hakutaku wouldn't dare to target students during the College Entrance Examination. That would be an act against the entire world.
As for Kyoto University...
If Qiao Yu remembered correctly, the principal he had met before, Ji Pingyang, was the number one sword cultivator in the Inner World, known as the Sword God of Pingyang.
If Kyoto University wasn't safe, then there was no safe place in the world.
Meanwhile, 7438 was carrying 9527 back to the base, muttering as he went.
"Why didn't you listen to me? I told you we had the wrong person, and that guy warned us to leave, but you wouldn't listen!"
9527's face flushed red. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't speak properly with all his teeth knocked out, he would have argued with 7438.
Those words were clearly what I said, weren't they?
7438 navigated through a familiar alleyway.
After several twists and turns, he slipped through a small door.
After a long, dark corridor, the scene suddenly brightened.
"Master!"
7438 knelt before a seductive woman with her back to him, his face full of devotion.
The woman turned around, her alluring figure enough to stir one's primal instincts.
Seeing 9527 with half his face swollen like a pig's head and his shoulder a bloody mess, the woman's expression turned cold.
"What happened?"
"Master, we found the wrong person. That person was strong and injured 9527."
"So, you haven't found out the cause of Xun Dong's death?" The man's voice grew colder.
"N-no..." 7438's body trembled uncontrollably.
"Useless!"
The furious woman kicked 7438 to the ground.
"I'm sorry, Master. I know I was wrong."
7438 quickly crawled back, holding the woman's beautiful foot and apologizing repeatedly, as if it were the most precious treasure.
"Put Xun Dong's death aside for now! The organization's upcoming actions in Su City are the top priority. Do you understand?"
The woman stepped on 7438's face, and 7438 looked as if he had received a blessing, his face filled with happiness.
"What was the name of the person who injured 9527?"
"Master, he said his name was Ma Fei."
"Ma Fei..."
