King of Assassins-Chapter 59 Conditions

The moonlight was like water, the long alley deep and mysterious.

Yan Tiejun stood at the entrance of the long alley, his face appeared unusually pale under the moonlight, and his thick brows, as wide as blades, were tinged red with blood. His dilated pupils were filled with despair, terror, and unwillingness.

"This is the so-called Aurora that can shine through the cosmos. Dying so gloriously, you still seem a bit unhappy..."

Of course, Gao Xuan wouldn’t say these words out loud; he was just complaining in his heart.

This style of Aurora Flash Stab is the first form of the Aurora Sword and also the swordsmanship Gao Xuan can truly exert its power at this stage.

The Aurora Sword triggers the Quick Sword with a special Source Power technique, and the dazzling sword light is just the Sword Qi stimulated by the Quick Sword, which doesn’t have any real lethality at this stage.

The Godslaying Sword is not a real Sword Artifact but a divine light that exists between reality and illusion.

Even if a substance weighing dozens of grams is swung at high speed, it consumes a lot of energy, and the resistance from the air severely limits the speed.

This characteristic of the Godslaying Sword can also fully leverage the advantages of the Aurora Sword.

Thus, Gao Xuan took the opportunity to solve Yan Tiejun with one Aurora Sword strike.

Yun Qingshang’s long-distance sniping also helped a lot, minimizing the power of the Thunder New Moon Slash. Otherwise, Gao Xuan’s sword might not have broken through the opponent’s Protective Blade Qi.

Of course, this was also due to his precise calculations. He had Yun Qingshang shoot in advance, taking Yan Tiejun by surprise.

Gao Xuan casually picked up the Thunder New Moon Slash, and the long blade turned into a cyan light band in his hand, like a dazzling scarf.

The Thunder New Moon Slash has two forms: one is the virtual light band form, where no one but the owner can detect its existence.

The other is the longsword form, where it transforms into real matter, sharp and solid.

Gao Xuan knew a bit about the Thunder New Moon Slash, just wasn’t clear about its specific negative effects.

In this short period, Zhao Yong had already run several hundred meters.

Gao Xuan wasn’t intentionally posing just now; the activation of the Aurora Sword consumed a large amount of Source Power and Spirit, and he needed to adjust his state.

Now that Zhao Yong had run far away, Gao Xuan also gave up the idea of pursuit.

He sheathed the Thunder New Moon Slash and turned to leave gracefully.

The transparent water-like light that enveloped Gao Xuan’s body flowed silently, and after just a few steps, his translucent figure rippled slightly and disappeared into the air.

The two belated guards could only watch Gao Xuan disappear. They glanced at Yan Tiejun’s corpse, frozen in place, with no intention of pursuing him at all.

A hastily fleeing Zhao Yong returned to the inspection headquarters by flying ship. After consulting with his superiors, he mobilized two squads and returned to the Yunbo Convention Hall.

The Black Dragon Mark on Gao Xuan had not dissipated yet, allowing Zhao Yong to sense Gao Xuan’s approximate location.

The opponent seemed to have entered the city’s sewers and was still moving.

The thought of the complex sewer passages made Zhao Yong’s scalp tingle.

In such a complicated and dark environment, pursuing a powerful assassin who can turn invisible at any time is truly suicidal.

Zhao Yong wisely abandoned the idea and led his men to lock down the Yunbo Convention Hall to investigate the scene.

At the same time, Zhao Yong reported to the Black Dragon Association’s East Continent General Assembly, detailing Yan Tiejun’s murder.

The East Continent General Assembly was furious, but in the short term, they couldn’t send another master over.

Yan Tiejun was already a top master of the East Continent General Assembly. With Yan Tiejun dead, the General Assembly couldn’t find a stronger master to resolve the matter quickly.

Moreover, the General Assembly itself had various matters to handle.

The General Assembly instructed Zhao Yong to stabilize the situation for now and not to make any rash moves. They would send a master over in a few days to resolve the issue.

Receiving this reply made Zhao Yong’s heart grow cold. The enemy had already stormed the Mingjing General Assembly, almost killing everyone and stealing the Black Dragon Scale. And yet, the General Assembly wanted to wait a few days to solve the problem!

The issue was what to do about that assassin? If the assassin returned, he was doomed. And then there’s Ghost Spear, striking from the shadows—no one could withstand that.

The more Zhao Yong thought about it, the more scared he became. He talked to each guest at the Yunbo Convention Hall, pleading for confidentiality.

In fact, the guests didn’t know what had happened, only being startled by the noise caused by Yan Tiejun’s Thunder New Moon Slash. Even if they wanted to leak something, they didn’t have anything to say.

After talking with the guests, Zhao Yong took his men back to headquarters.

Under such circumstances, he dared not go home anymore. Only staying at headquarters gave him a sense of safety.

Zhao Yong contacted Fang Zhenlin and Fang Zhenhai when he returned to headquarters. He looked down on these brothers, believing no matter who was the leader, it would all be the same.

"Gentlemen, Elder Yan Tiejun, sent by the General Assembly to preside over affairs, has been killed."

The Fang Brothers were shocked, "Who killed him?"

"Was it really the Blood God Association?"

Zhao Yong, with a grim face, said, "The attack was by two people, one is Ghost Spear, the other is an assassin wielding a blood-red longsword, as illusory as a shadow. It’s also the assassin who killed Zhao Feng last time."

"Blood Shadow?"

Fang Zhenlin asked, "Is that the assassin’s codename?"

Zhao Yong impatiently said, "How the hell should I know?"

Thinking about the terrifying Blood Shadow assassin, Zhao Yong felt chills in his heart. Last time he faced him, Blood Shadow obviously didn’t use full strength. This time, he revealed unparalleled swordsmanship to kill Yan Tiejun.

When did such a formidable assassin emerge in the East Continent? No, despite his sinister and mysterious demeanor, that person was not sinister in spirit; rather, he had a master’s demeanor, commanding life and death, commanding all.

Such a person could no longer be called an assassin.

Zhao Yong was scared to death, and when pressed by the Fang Brothers, his dread transformed into fierce rage. His words were biting.

Fang Zhenlin felt a bit irked by the rebuttal, but he didn’t dare offend Zhao Yong. He quickly explained, "Don’t be mad, I meant no offense. It’s just because this assassin is elusive, we need to find a way to counteract."

"Elder Yan Tiejun was a top master of the General Assembly, and even he was killed. This matter is challenging."

Zhao Yong said, "Be cautious when you come and go, and hire a few more experts."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "On the Yuanlong Group’s side, you should also lower your posture a bit. Let’s resolve the group with Ghost Spear first, then consider the Yuanlong Group matter."

The Yuanlong Group wasn’t a pushover and had significant influence in Mingjing City, including people up and down in the administrative offices.

Because Wei Yue was assassinated, all law enforcement departments have received strict orders to capture the assassin as quickly as possible.

Zhao Yong even began to suspect that this assassination was orchestrated by Wei Yue herself to clear her own name.

However, Ghost Spear was indeed hired by Fang Zhenshan.

So how did Wei Yue immediately buy off Ghost Spear? This situation was really strange.

With the Black Dragon Association’s higher-ups being killed consecutively, it seems now that the real beneficiary is Wei Yue.

Zhao Yong somewhat suspected that Wei Yue was a member of the Blood God Association. If so, everything would make sense.

Regardless, Wei Yue was a resourceful and capable woman. With so many things happening, it was best to negotiate peace with her at this point.

The Fang Brothers were also no fools; they naturally thought of this too.

Now eager to seize control of the group, they needed to be tougher to gain mid-upper management support.

Moreover, this action against the Yuanlong Group involved other partners. With such a big problem now, that partner couldn’t stay in the background anymore.

These business secrets wouldn’t be shared honestly with Zhao Yong by the brothers.

Zhao Yong wasn’t overly concerned about it; after all, he had said everything he needed to.

While Zhao Yong was talking with the Fang Brothers, Wei Yue received a message.

"Ms. Wei, I have a piece of information that you’ll surely be interested in."

Seeing the ID, Wei Yue recognized it was from the same person who sent a message last time. She pondered for a moment before responding, "What are your conditions?"

As a businesswoman, Wei Yue knew that free things could be most expensive in the end. The last time, the other party gave an important piece of information for free. This time, not stating it directly, meant there were conditions.

"A Skywalker 313 model Genetic Potion."

Seeing the reply, Wei Yue fell into deep thought.

The Skywalker Gene Potion was a company secret, with various models tuned. Recently, the most stable was the 313 model.

The feedback from recent human trials had been very positive, and they were preparing for an official launch next.

Also, due to the excellent effects of the 313 model Genetic Potion, it attracted many greedy eyes. Fang Zhenshan was just the first to act.

However, while people outside knew the Skywalker Gene Potion was very effective, few knew the specific potion numbers. This was an internal company secret.

Few among the Yuanlong Company’s senior management knew about it.

Yet this person seemed very informed about the lab’s situation, truly possessing vast divine techniques.

Wei Yue weighed her options before replying, "Okay."
