Shocking World War Emperor
Chapter 214 Long Time No See

Chapter 214: Chapter 214 Long Time No See

Soon, a quarter of an hour passed.

"Have you all thought it through?"

The central Golden Killer looked at the crowd: "Those who wish to withdraw, step forward now."

Everyone remained indifferent.

Having chosen to join the Dark Night and become assassins, and even having killed cultivators of the Primordial Pill Realm while at the Spirit Sea Realm for the sake of becoming candidates for the title of Dark Night Son, how unwavering must their will be.

How could they be discouraged by a few mere words?

Moreover, in their hearts, they believed it was nothing more than a test.

Seeing that no one took the initiative to drop out, the Golden Killer let out a wry smile and said, "I don’t know whether I should feel relieved or regretful. Perhaps you think that I am testing you, but that’s not the case. Now, I’ll give you one last chance!"

A hint of amusement appeared on everyone’s face.

They were even more convinced that this person was just trying to scare them!

Seeing the crowd’s reaction, the Golden Killer shook his head: "Since no one is stepping down, then I shall announce the rules for this Dark Night Son competition. Given the brutal nature of this assessment, there will be two spots for Dark Night Son. Of course, that’s assuming any of you survive to claim them."

At this, everyone’s faces finally took on a serious expression.

In previous competitions for the title of Dark Night Son, only one person could emerge as the victor.

But this time, there were to be two.

Clearly, the difficulty of this assessment was feared to be far greater than before.

"The specific rule for the assessment is only one – survive, and try to kill as many enemies as you can!"

The Golden Killer said gravely, "Furthermore, the assessment starts now, and your enemies may appear at any time."

"My lord, who are our enemies?"

Someone asked.

The Golden Killer replied: "The identity of the enemy will not be revealed to you now, you will know when the time comes. Here’s a piece of advice: if you can’t overcome an enemy, then flee. As long as you survive, you will have a chance to become a Dark Night Son."

"This..."

Everyone fell silent.

Not knowing who the enemy was, or when they might attack, was this assessment not terrifyingly uncertain?

"Indeed!"

Ling Chen murmured in his heart.

From the words of the Golden Killer, he could almost ascertain that the enemy was the Ghost Guard.

Not telling the crowd was to prevent leaks.

And they were probably the bait to lure the Ghost Guard into the trap.

"Using candidates for Dark Night Son as bait, Dark Night’s way of doing things is indeed ruthless!"

Ling Chen muttered to himself.

He, however, was not too anxious.

Because, although they were bait, Dark Night would certainly not let them go to their deaths deliberately.

Even if traps were set, the experts among the Ghost Guard would naturally be dealt with by Dark Night’s own powerful fighters.

They only had to deal with the weaker members of the Ghost Guard.

At this moment, the three Golden Killers had already closed their eyes, conserving their energy.

Seeing this, Ling Chen and the others dared not be careless.

They were different from the Golden Killers, as they were participants in the competition for Dark Night Son.

All their previous actions had been in preparation for this day.

How could they afford to lose due to negligence?

Night fell, and the evening breeze whispered.

"Roar!"

From time to time, animal roars echoed through the woods.

These sounds made the ruins all the more terrifying.

Time flowed second by second, and yet there was still no sign of an enemy attack.

The night passed without incident.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Just as the first ray of morning sunlight pierced through the mist in the mountains and shone upon everyone, a series of whooshing sounds emerged.

"Who goes there?"

Ling Chen and the other Dark Night Son candidates were on high alert, got to their feet, ready to release their Spiritual Power, their gazes suddenly sharp as they looked towards the woods.

"Have they finally come?"

Unlike Ling Chen and the others, the three Golden Killers seemed to have anticipated this, a fleeting smirk flashing across their eyes.

A myriad of colored lights shot forth from the distance, and as the glows dissipated, figures were revealed.

"Ghost Guards!"

Seeing the attire of the newcomers, the Dark Night Son candidates’ expressions changed drastically.

Dark Night itself was an organization wanted by the Great Xia Dynasty; now, as they participated in the battle to become the Dark Night Son, they were caught in the act by the Ghost Guards, how could they not be alarmed?

"Indeed!"

Ling Chen nodded slightly; things were essentially as he had expected.

The major move mentioned by the powerful figure from Dark Night was indeed using them as bait to lure the Ghost Guards over.

However, were they, these people, a match for this group of fierce Ghost Guards?

The Ghost Guards numbered thirty in total, most of them at the second or third level of the Primordial Pill Realm.

Moreover, there was one Cultivator among them whose level of cultivation he could not sense.

"Brother Su, long time no see!"

A hearty laugh came from among the Ghost Guards, and the crowd parted to reveal a middle-aged man.

Following the middle-aged man, two other Cultivators appeared, both shockingly at the sixth level of the Primordial Pill Realm!

"Ghost King Guards!"

Ling Chen’s pupils contracted; the middle-aged man at the forefront, he had once seen at the True Martial Academy – it was Zhang Yan.

"Brother Zhang, long time no see!"

The leading Golden Killer among the darkness had cold eyes and a solemn expression on his face.

Although it was anticipated that someone from the Ghost Guards would come, he still had to maintain appearances, else how could they carry on with their plan?

His name was Su Changge!

Zhang Yan’s gaze swept over the faces of the Dark Night Son candidates and then turned to Su Changge, smiling, "Brother Su, I didn’t expect that the selection of the Dark Night Son would have the participation of Su Changge aka Su Luosha!"

Amongst Dark Night, a sixth level Primordial Pill Realm Golden Killer, is known as Rashamon!

"To think our Dark Night Son selection has drawn out a member of the Ghost King Guard!"

Su Changge’s face was extremely grave.

Zhang Yan chuckled lightly and said, "Heh, how could I miss such a grand event?"

Upon hearing this, Su Changge’s gaze fell upon the Dark Night Son candidates, and he said coldly, "What are you waiting for? Run!"

"Boom!"

Spiritual Power burst forth, Su Changge stomped his foot, instantly appearing before everyone, then with a grasp in the void, a golden longsword materialized.

"Run!"

Upon hearing the word, the Dark Night Son candidates immediately reacted, channeling their Spiritual Power, quickly scattering in all directions into the woods.

Although the Ghost Guards were fewer in number, their cultivation far exceeded that of their counterparts.

"Do you think you can escape?"

Zhang Yan grinned, his Spiritual Power sweeping out as he locked his gaze tightly on Su Changge.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the Ghost Guards behind him quickly gave chase to the escaping Dark Night Son candidates.

"How dare you!"

A look of shock and anger crossed Su Changge’s face, his Spiritual Power infused into the golden longsword, and he sent a Sword Energy slash raging towards Zhang Yan.

"Heh, why wouldn’t I dare?"

A Red Long Sword appeared in Zhang Yan’s hand, shattering the Sword Energy with a single strike, and he laughed coldly, "Brother Su, we’ve crossed swords many times, is there still a need for such probing?"

"Zhang Yan, come and meet your death!"

Su Changge roared, holding the longsword, charging towards Zhang Yan.

Simultaneously, the two Golden Killers behind him also moved, attacking Zhang Yan.

"Your opponents are us!"

The two sixth-level Primordial Pill Realm Cultivators behind Zhang Yan flashed out, intercepting the two Golden Killers.
