Chapter 361: 0239 Four Great Daoist Body (4k for double monthly tickets)

The man holding the knife slightly changed his expression and said,

"Which sect are you from, and what do you want with me?"

As a Silver-ranked assassin of the Blood Hidden Tower, his Lower Grade True Skill "Blood Demon Mad Saber" had already reached Perfection. Under the condition of burning Qi-Blood, the might of this saber far surpassed most of the power of other Lower Grade True Skill Martial Arts, yet it couldn’t break through the barrier of the man in black.

He was a Black Knight, often mingling in the underworld.

He immediately recognized that this man in black was a cult expert.

The figure in the windbreaker spoke in an ethereal voice, indistinguishable in gender,

"Blood Hidden Tower, Silver-ranked assassin, Blood Vulture Bai Jingming, mingling in the professional assassin circle for ten years, with an assassination success rate of 70%. You’ve killed more than two handfuls of Martial Artists and cult Incense Masters... There’s a big contract, will you take it?"

Seeing that the person before him knew his real name, Bai Jingming smiled and said,

"Who am I to kill? What’s the reward?"

The figure in the windbreaker said,

"Lu Chenzhou from Su City Dragon Martial, the reward is a Lower Grade Ancient Artifact."

Bai Jingming frowned slightly.

"An Ancient Artifact? Are there no Divine Weapons? Although a fighter’s item might barely suffice, it is definitely not as handy as a Divine Weapon. If there’s a Divine Weapon, I’ll do it.

Lu Chenzhou is the chief of Dragon City, though he has been promoted just a year ago, most likely he possesses the power of the Middle Realm. Moreover, this person is also a disciple of a near-Heavenly King. Taking such a big risk for a Lower Grade Ancient Artifact is not worth it. You can go back; I have no intention of coming out of retirement."

He wasn’t foolish.

A prodigy like Lu Chenzhou, countless assassins targeting him, although he’s a Martial Arts Master, he’s only at the Initial Realm, having stepped into it not long ago, with shallow foundations. The Silver rank was also a recent promotion; before this, he was only Bronze.

And such prodigies, being disciples of near-Heavenly Kings, surely have trump cards.

Truth be told, the success rate of assassination, wouldn’t be high. Once failed, even if he managed to escape, he would still likely face a joint manhunt by Su City Dragon Martial and the police.

The risk was tremendous!

Unless the reward was enough to tempt him to seek riches at the peril of his life.

Otherwise, no deal.

The figure in the windbreaker seemed to have anticipated Bai Jingming’s response and chuckled lightly,

"Besides the Ancient Artifact, there’s also a drop of Demon King Essence Blood. As far as I know, the demon skill "Heavenly Demon Blood Slaughter Skill" that your Blood Hidden Tower cultivates, requires the blood of higher-level mutant beasts to Breakthrough its realms, right? Aren’t you content with just being a Martial Arts Master? Don’t you want to climb to the next level? The value of a drop of Demon King Essence Blood, I need not say more."

Sure enough, Bai Jingming’s expression changed.

"Who exactly are you?"

This person knew too much, surely a high-ranking figure within the sect.

"The ’Heavenly Demon Blood Slaughter Skill’ is derived from the second greatest Demon Path Divine Skill ’Heavenly Demon Six Transformations’, next only to the ’Devouring Heaven Demon Skill’, a true skill level demon inner strength.

This skill primarily cultivates Evil Qi, and during cultivation, it requires concoctions made with demon beast blood. Compared to the Great Medicine used by the righteous path, which is crafted from mutant beast blood, the demon beast medicine contains an incurable dark and cold Evil Qi. Long-term consumption gradually erodes the mind and spirit.

Once cultivating this skill, it means embarking on a path of no return without a high-level demon blood catalyst, there’s no Breakthrough Realm. Whenever there’s a Martial Arts or Cultivation breakthrough, it will attract the ’Heavenly Demon’ of the Void Realm into one’s spirit. If one’s Martial Arts Will can’t withstand it, they will be consumed by madness, transformed into a bloodthirsty Half-demon.

Each night, with the agitation of the demon blood within a Half-demon, it tortures both body and mind, and features of the demon beasts behind the Great Medicine begin to appear on their body. In ancient times, some humanoid demon spirits occasionally spotted in the Human World were actually "Heavenly Demon Blood Slaughter Skill" practitioners transformed.

Giant Eastern Mutant Beasts like the [Red-haired Monster], [Big Snow Monster], [Snowfield Demon], [Shennong Wildman], [Cat-faced Old Woman], [River Man Child]... Western urban legends like [Werewolves], [Blood Clan], [Ghouls], [Banshee], [Wendigo], [Mothman] many are the products of Martial Artists and fighters who lost control while practicing similar demon skills, indistinguishable from demons.

Practicing demon skills comes at a great cost.

No one can escape it.

But the ’Heavenly Demon Blood Slaughter Skill’ is immensely powerful, best at burst attacks!

Thus, the Blood Hidden Tower uses it to cultivate Death Soldiers and assassins.

These drawbacks, Bai Jingming was well aware of.

But he had no other choice.

So he agreed without hesitation.

"Deal, but I want a down payment."

The figure in the windcoat pulled something from his pocket, snapped his fingers, and a small black bottle gently floated, slowly landing in Bai Jingming’s hands. An ethereal voice came through,

"Authentic Demon King Essence Blood, however, there’s a trap I left inside. If you try to get something for nothing, no matter where you run, I’ll find you."

After speaking, the figure in the windcoat drifted away.

Bai Jingming opened the bottle, feeling the intense and overwhelming aura of Blood Evil Qi.

"Lu Chenzhou..."

...

Silver Eagle Federation.

In a lost castle.

The Blood Duke swirled his glass of red wine, savoring the blood of a young maiden, he spread his palm open, and a beautiful woman’s face with closed eyes slowly took shape.

The Blood Duke asked,

"Protector Gu, has that matter been arranged?"

The woman was none other than Gu Qianqian.

Her seductive voice came through,

"I’ve handed the matter to Chen Yongjing. He employed a Silver-ranked assassin from the Blood Clothes Tower. Lu Chenzhou has just entered the Martial Artist realm, his strength at most reaches the Middle Realm of Martial Arts, at most the End Realm. Even though he cultivates both internally and externally, he cannot withstand the might of a Martial Arts Master.

However, most of the time, Lu Chenzhou stays in school, assassination requires some time for observation, planning carefully, waiting for him to go out, finding the right opportunity. Heavenly Dog Sir, please be patient and wait for good news from us."

The Blood Duke slightly furrowed his brow and said,

"Make it quick. I need to restore my Demon King strength soon. Temporarily unable to go to Da Xia, I worry that if such a prodigy advances too quickly, it will become difficult to assassinate him later."
