Chapter 400: 0399 enters its peak

Ye Qiu had killed a large number of assassins and mercenaries, causing a shock throughout the assassin community. There were rumors circulating that Ye Qiu was the legendary King Yan from the past.

The title of King Yan was brought up again. Ordinary people might think the name King Yan was steeped in mythology, but in the world of assassins, King Yan was a king, a legend.

He was like a dazzling meteor that rose quickly and disappeared just as fast, leaving only a brief memory in the assassin community.

"If Ye Qiu really is that King of Assassins—King Yan, then it’s possible for him to kill any top expert," said another assassin who was well aware of King Yan’s prowess.

"They say King Yan can claim your life in the dead of night; who would dare keep you until dawn? When King Yan appears, even other kings have to avoid his sharp edge."

"Yes, I was fortunate enough to witness King Yan’s crowning battle. At that time, King Yan had just emerged in the assassin world and was not very famous yet. He challenged a king, and just when everyone thought he would be killed in one strike, everyone was stunned. King Yan killed his opponent with a single blow."

"A King of Assassins, indeed, just with one move. King Yan truly shone brilliantly back then. Unfortunately, no one has ever seen King Yan’s true face. It is said he was an old man because his actions were too steady and mature. He assassinated his targets with only one move, never needing a second."

"But Ye Qiu is not an old man; he is clearly very young. If he is the King of the Assassin world, King Yan, that’s terrifying. Back then, he had the strength to be crowned king when he was barely twenty years old!"

At this revelation, everyone changed color, deeply frightened. A youth, not even twenty, could gallop through the assassin world and become a king-like figure.

What kind of talent and strength that must be, truly enviable.

"Being younger is always better than being older, I think. Think about it; he’s so young. He definitely has a chance to challenge the God of Assassins in the future, which is the ultimate goal for an assassin."

"And think about it, that queen rumored to be romantically linked with King Yan. Even though she covers her face, everyone can tell she’s a mature woman. She calls herself a queen, yet King Yan is so young. It’s a May-December romance!"

The explosive news instantly ignited the surrounding discussions. Previous speculations about the queen and King Yan now seemed to uncover plenty of explosive stories.

The entertainment circle has many rumors, and so does the assassin community.

Ye Qiu had no idea that by eliminating everyone on the mountain who had designs on him, he had caused such a stir. He didn’t care either; he did it to send a clear warning to those who coveted his position, deterring them from cavalierly attacking.

On the mountain top, Ye Qiu sat cross-legged on a rock, his whole being seeming ethereal, the bloody scent in the air long dispersed by the wind.

Ye Qiu had left Mount Lomils long ago. He had moved to another mountain peak the moment he could, to ease the lingering murderous intent in his heart.

After turning dark, the killing intent became too intense, quite uncharacteristic of Ye Qiu’s original temperament, which rarely leaned towards slaughtering indiscriminately.

Ye Qiu slowly opened his eyes, his eyes returning to their normal color. "In recent days, when I kill, it feels like returning to those days. It seems the murderous intent refined in the mountains has been rekindled."

Ye Qiu sighed. This feeling, especially since the first time he turned dark, had often resulted in fatal strikes.

The killing intent grew stronger, perhaps due to the dark turn, but Ye Qiu felt that his mindset had changed.

"Enough, everything comes as it does. The path of martial arts is ultimately not a commoner’s daily life. Life and death are in my hands, and it’s impossible to avoid them," he said.

Ye Qiu was unwilling to take the lives of others unless they were extremely wicked, in which case, he would easily kill them without a second thought. However, for those who were not utterly evil, he always left a way out. Otherwise, just like the opponents of the Longjia Group, Rong Da’s two directors, he could have killed them with one move, but he did not make that move because he believed these people did not deserve to die.

However, under the current circumstances, some people, for the sake of the bounty, came to kill him actively. Thus, it seemed only natural for Ye Qiu to strike back in self-defense.

To kill or be killed, one must have that realization.

Ye Qiu sat on the mountaintop, the knots in his heart gradually unraveling with his thoughts. Even if the murderous aura he had washed off while accompanying the old lecher on the mountain had become an illusion, he didn’t care. Since he had come down the mountain and chosen to become involved in worldly matters, he was inevitably embroiled in conflicts over fame and interests, unable to escape deception and manipulation. As a martial artist, life was joyously unrestrained. Why bother tying himself down with worries and constraints?

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu felt his mind clear instantly, his thoughts enlightened, as if he was parting clouds to see the blue sky. He took a deep breath and let out a loud shout towards the mountain base, expelling all the impure Qi from his body with that yell.

Moments later, birds and animals scattered, and Ye Qiu stopped shouting. He felt great, both physically and spiritually harmonious and unified.

Ye Qiu looked into the distance, his face suddenly lighting up with joy.

In an instant, he closed his eyes again, and the True Qi within his body automatically began to surge. This momentum was already subtly surpassing the black Qi.

The peak of the late stage of the True Qi realm!

He had finally reached it, not through relentless daily practice, nor through fighting others to the death in battle, but through a post-battle clarity and openness of mind and thoughts. His martial realm had broken through silently, like tearing open a cocoon to see the world’s light.

The peak of the late stage was a bit higher than the late stage, a sublime ascent because only when a realm is perfected can one break through to the next realm.

Reaching this step, Ye Qiu was only one step away from the legendary realm, soon to realize a remarkable transformation like a carp leaping through the dragon’s gate.

With the strength of the peak of the late True Qi realm, in the martial arts community, only those older predecessors possessed such strength. As for the younger generation of martial artists, other than the top ten figures, no one could rival Ye Qiu anymore.

With his strength breaking through to the peak realm, Ye Qiu was confident he could fight anyone in the top ten, whether it was Feng Jian, Luo Tie, or even Huangfu Jun, who was ranked first. He was not afraid in the slightest.

This was his confidence. In an era where no one in the legendary realm emerged, especially among the younger generation, some people were still at the True Qi realm, and since Ye Qiu had cultivated the True Qi realm to its utmost peak, he naturally feared no one.

The legendary realm, the next step was to break through to the legendary realm!

Ye Qiu’s eyes sparkled with desire and anticipation, a realm higher than the True Qi realm, and the legendary realm masters known in the martial arts world were very few.

"The legendary realm, once I make the breakthrough, I will reach the level of martial arts masters like Zhang Sanfeng and Yang Luchan!" Ye Qiu felt a thrill in his heart, feeling himself drawing ever closer to these legendary figures, as if he was just one step away from the altar.

"This step, I will definitely take it!" Ye Qiu declared resolutely.
