Chapter 398: 0397, are you King Yan?

To kill one is a sin, to slaughter thousands is to be heroic; to slaughter nine million is to be the hero among heroes!

The Butcher—one can discern from his name alone how many lives he must have taken to earn such a title.

It goes to show that his hands are stained with countless amounts of blood.

The Butcher is a myth in the world of assassins, and he rarely took action unless the royal family of Yi approached him.

But once he agreed to kill someone, even if that person was protected by thousands, death at his hands was certain.

There was a saying amongst assassins: never get targeted by The Butcher, or you’ll know what truly living is worse than dying means.

From this, one can see how terrifying the name of The Butcher is.

Ye Qiu had never imagined that he would be engaging in combat here with The Butcher, a figure standing at the pinnacle of the assassin world.

Assassination attempts converged from all directions, as if an army of thousands was encircling Ye Qiu, with countless attacks that could strike at any moment.

Ye Qiu responded to ever-changing attacks with constancy; his opponent might be the king of assassins, but he was no less so.

Now that two kings had met, the encounter was sure to shake the heavens and the earth.

Whoosh...

A streak of light flashed by, causing the hairs on Ye Qiu’s body to stand on end, while his mind was calm as still water, with even the slightest rustle in the external environment resonating instantly in his heart.

At the level of the God of Assassins, one cannot accurately judge the direction of an attack with the naked eye; one must rely on strong mental perception to speculate and foresee.

So when that streak of light attacked, Ye Qiu didn’t simply lift his eyelids to catch the attack in his line of sight, but sensed the trajectory of The Butcher’s attack the very moment he made his move, even perceiving the assailant’s weapon among other details.

A sharp blade!

A small and delicate utility item that could cut through throats, slice eyes and carve flesh became, in the hands of The Butcher, a lethal tool for harvesting lives.

So fast!

In Ye Qiu’s estimation, the entire process from The Butcher drawing the blade to exerting force, and then releasing the blade, took less than 0.02 seconds. Such quick attacks, not even lasting the blink of an eye, were already slashing towards Ye Qiu’s neck, aiming to sever the throat and spray blood three feet.

"If it were me from several years ago, I might not have been able to counter this move, but now..." Ye Qiu admitted that had he not trained his body to such a degree that thought and movement were one, deciphering this deadly move would have been difficult, and even if he managed to dodge, he would still sustain an injury. However, now...

Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes, and from his gaze, he visualized the trajectory of the attack, with the blade whirling towards his face at high speed, possessing enough destructive force to pierce through a large tree.

Ye Qiu waved his left hand, and with a buzzing sound,

a blade was pinched between a pair of slender fingers and came to a sudden halt. The lightning-fast blade attack had been effortlessly countered by Ye Qiu, and upon closer inspection, one would notice the blade still trembling, a testament to its previous high-speed whirl.

Surprise filled The Butcher’s eyes; his attack, which few had ever managed to catch, was stopped so easily. Even those who had caught it were from twenty years ago when his skills were not as formidable as they are now. In The Butcher’s mind, no one should be capable of intercepting this move.

Yet facing Ye Qiu, The Butcher was stunned. The deadly throwing knife, which had always been successful, was intercepted mere inches from its target. This level of skill was far more terrifying than The Butcher had imagined.

"You’re definitely not an ordinary person. Who exactly are you?" The Butcher urgently wanted to know Ye Qiu’s true identity because he felt he had met his match. This sparked a feeling deep in his bones, a restlessness, like awakening from a long slumber. The strength of Ye Qiu had further piqued his interest.

"You come to kill me yet you ask who I am. I wonder, aside from these knife-throwing tricks, what other techniques do you have? Bring them on," Ye Qiu said indifferently, with a demeanor that didn’t care in the slightest who you were.

The great Butcher was being spoken to with disdain by Ye Qiu, yet The Butcher wasn’t angry; Ye Qiu had the full right to do so, having effortlessly blocked his attack with his bare hands.

"You’re not someone I’ve seen on the danger rankings before, but now I believe it was you who killed Adam. Your strength certainly qualifies you for the top ten," said The Butcher. If these words were heard by other assassins, they would be astounded. Such high praise from The Butcher himself indicated that Ye Qiu’s power was genuinely formidable.

"Since you believe I killed Adam, do you still think you can take me down?" suddenly, Ye Qiu laughed.

"There’s no doubt about Adam’s strength, but his assassin methods were too naive. If he wasn’t given the chance to transform, he was still easy to defeat. Perhaps you killed him by taking advantage of that gap when he couldn’t transform. Otherwise, with your current level of power, you would be no match for him. I’m right, young man, aren’t I?" The Butcher’s analysis struck at the heart of Ye Qiu, as if he had been present and observing Ye Qiu’s fight against Adam.

"Hehe, you’re right, you’re right," Ye Qiu spoke openly.

"Which point?" the butcher was taken aback.

"It’s true that I’m not as strong as him now, but what about this..." As Ye Qiu spoke, his pupils turned red, and his aura instantly darkened, swirling with black energy as if he were a demon king. The butcher couldn’t find words for a long time as he watched in shock.

"This is the power of hell, the power of the Grim Reaper!" Seeing Ye Qiu transformed by the dark energy, the butcher felt disoriented, sensing an endless power within Ye Qiu’s body, like a cosmic void, and Ye Qiu was in the middle of this void as a black hole, attracting all who coveted him.

"I can’t let you continue like this!" The butcher’s courage was failing him as Ye Qiu seemed to become another person in an instant, transforming from a calm youth into a dark demon king. Even the butcher, whose heart was as tough as steel wire, felt it might snap.

He couldn’t allow Ye Qiu’s power to keep escalating because, in the end, he feared he would not have the courage to strike against him.

Even a king of assassins dared not make a move, and if the butcher didn’t act, his future path in the world of assassins would collapse, his progress halted. Despite being middle-aged, the butcher still aspired to grasp the ultimate secret of being an assassin and to step into the realm of the God of Assassins.

Swish, swish, swish...

In an instant, the butcher unleashed numerous small knife blades, shooting out like a sudden downpour, burying Ye Qiu.

To ensure Ye Qiu was seriously injured or to stop his power from escalating, the butcher unleashed fatal strikes aimed at the most vulnerable parts of Ye Qiu’s body, all executed in a flash.

The butcher was gasping for air, having never in so short a time and in one breath used all his trump card skills on one person before.

There was a hint of weariness in his eyes as he quietly watched Ye Qiu, who had been attacked by him.

Was he dead?

Even the butcher himself was not sure. If it had been a normal person under his continuous assault, they probably would have fallen long ago. But Ye Qiu was beyond expectations and could not be judged by normal standards.

Suddenly, the butcher’s eyes focused sharply. He glimpsed Ye Qiu’s smiling face as the black mist parted slightly.

"Is this all you’ve got... pity, you still can’t kill me!" As soon as the transformed Ye Qiu with red, blood-colored eyes began to speak, the butcher’s heart went cold.

"I’ve failed..." The butcher felt as though he had aged instantly.

"Now it’s my turn to make a move, and you’ll soon know how Adam ended up dying by my hand..." The black mist stirred, and Ye Qiu’s figure vanished on the spot.

The next moment, a faint voice reached the butcher’s ear: "Let me give you a message, ’The one who kills you is called King Yan.’"

King Yan?

In the instant Ye Qiu attacked, the butcher suddenly remembered the term King Yan, which had faded from memory for some time. He wanted to say you’re actually a king of assassins. Unfortunately, when he tried to speak, no sound came out.

The butcher was defeated, and it really was like the saying goes: when King Yan calls you to die at the third watch, who dares to keep someone till the fifth watch!

"Listen, there’s some noise over there, sounds like someone is fighting!"

"Could someone have found Ye Qiu?"

Anyone in the mountains who sensed the commotion rushed towards the scene, hoping to lay eyes on Ye Qiu and claim the billion-dollar bounty.

As figure after figure arrived at the battlefield, they saw Ye Qiu punch through the butcher’s chest, blood spraying!

"This..."

Such a terrifying and shocking scene made everyone look at each other in shock, feeling a chill in their hearts.

This ruthless person couldn’t be the wanted Ye Qiu, could he?

Looking at Ye Qiu, who was shrouded in swirling black mist, no one dared take a step closer.
