The Commission!

Under this heaven, there is no law!

Three hundred years ago, there was a conflict between the martial arts world and the imperial court.

Initially, the Great Qian Dynasty held the upper hand, suppressing the scattered forces of the martial arts world and almost having the momentum to trample over it.

But then, somehow, things changed. Overnight, those experts suddenly infiltrated the Great Qian Royal Court.

That battle was earth-shattering. The imperial court collapsed, the army couldn't return in time to reinforce, countless imperial guards suffered heavy casualties, and the entire Great Qian Royal Court was awash in blood.

Even the Great Qian Emperor at the time was dragged to the Meridian Gate by these martial arts experts and beheaded.

It could be said to be a complete reversal of the natural order.

After this battle, the Great Qian imperial family never recovered and was heard from no more.

In the martial arts world, heroes rose together, claiming territory and ruling their own areas.

This dramatically ushered in a new chapter of three hundred years of bloodshed in the martial arts world.

The first few years were the most brutal. The world's structure was completely reshuffled, conflicts in the martial arts world were constant, and bloodshed was everywhere.

Even today, it is still a chaotic era for the martial arts world.

In such an era, human lives are cheaper than dogs'...

No one would be willing to turn back for an insignificant waiter, nor would they care about such a humble life.

Except for his closest relatives and friends.

Perhaps the tea house owner had cried enough, as his eyes showed a coldness that was extremely rare in his lifetime.

He looked around and came to a corpse.

Gritting his teeth, he snatched the knife from the corpse's hand, stood up, and chased in the direction of the Seven Iron Horse Thieves.

But as soon as he took two steps, a hoarse voice suddenly came from behind him:

"Want revenge?"

"Who!?"

The tea house owner was startled by the voice. Subconsciously, he thought the Seven Iron Horse Thieves had returned and turned around, swinging his knife wildly.

However, there was nothing behind him. Let alone people, there wasn't even a single shadow.

The tea house owner was stunned, thinking he had misheard. However, the next moment, the voice entered his ears again:

"You don't know martial arts. If you go, you might not find them, but even if you do, it will just be sending yourself to your death."

The tea house owner's hair stood on end, and he understood that the person speaking was also someone from the martial arts world.

But it was definitely not the Seven Iron Horse Thieves, otherwise, he would already be a dead man.

So he let go, and the knife immediately fell to the ground.

He didn't know where the speaker was, so he knelt down with a thud:

"Great hero! Huzi died unjustly!

"This humble one has lived his life without a wife or children. Only this nephew, whom I have regarded as my own since he was young.

"Now... now that he is dead, his mother will probably not be able to live on.

"This humble one knows his own incompetence and begs the great hero for help!!"

Although the tea house owner didn't know who the speaker was, since they had spoken, perhaps they were willing to take care of this matter.

Even if there was only a sliver of hope, he wanted his nephew to rest in peace.

However, after he finished speaking, it was as if his words had fallen into the sea.

There was no response for a long time.

The owner's heart gradually sank to the bottom. Just as he thought the person had left, he heard the voice come again:

"You said one thing wrong."

"This humble one... Where did this humble one go wrong?"

The owner's heart was uneasy as he asked.

"I am not a great hero. I charge money for killing."

The tea house owner immediately said:

"This humble one is willing to give everything, even if it means being a slave or a servant, I will not hesitate."

"Remember what you said."

The voice suddenly turned cold, causing the tea house owner's heart to tighten. After that, there was no more sound.

After a long while, he finally turned back to look around, but still found nothing.

However, after this experience, he also calmed down.

He turned back to look at the waiter's body, his face full of sorrow, and came forward to pick up the corpse:

"Huzi... did you hear? Someone, someone is willing to avenge you."

"Just wait... wait a little longer."

[Mission: Assassinate the Seven Iron Horse Thieves (Three Remaining)]

Chu Qing concealed his tracks, running through the forest while checking his system page.

The one who had just spoken to the teahouse owner was naturally him.

Having integrated all of the original owner's memories, Chu Qing also understood that in this world, human lives were as cheap as grass.

It didn't seem worth going to great lengths for a waiter.

However, Chu Qing also had a reason to get involved in this matter.

Since he had obtained an Assassin System, how could he become stronger without assassinating targets?

And without becoming stronger, how could he deal with the endless pursuit of the Mirror of Sin?

Although he had temporary peace now, temporary wasn't permanent.

This play would never end until he and the Mirror of Sin determined who would live and who would die.

So, since there was such an opportunity, of course he couldn't let it pass...

Besides this, the feud between Chu Fan and the Seven Iron Horse Thieves was also one of the reasons. It wasn't that Chu Qing had any deep affection for this cheap second brother.

The main reason was that this person was highly skilled in martial arts, possessed natural divine strength, and was a disciple of a renowned sect. His ability could be seen from the previous battle.

The leader of the Seven Iron Horse Thieves, being pursued by him, likely wouldn't survive.

This meant that without him having to act, one-third of the targets would be eliminated.

Taking on such a mission was truly a sure profit with no loss.

There was absolutely no reason to ignore it.

Tracking was a fundamental skill for a killer.

Having been involved with the Mirror of Sin for nearly a year, Chu Qing naturally possessed this ability.

Moreover, he speculated that aside from the leader of the Seven Iron Horse Thieves, the remaining two wouldn't run too far.

Chu Fan wanted to eliminate the ringleader first, so his main target naturally wasn't them. As long as they got out of Chu Fan's line of sight, they would naturally relax.

In fact, just as Chu Qing expected, after tracking along the road for merely three li, Chu Qing had already heard the sound of horse hooves.

The speed wasn't too fast, and there was already an intention to turn back, which was somewhat unexpected for Chu Qing.

After discerning the horse's direction, Chu Qing slightly altered his path and quickly arrived at a narrow road.

Looking up, the galloping horse was already in front of him. Sitting on it was one of the Seven Iron Horse Thieves.

Facing this sudden beggar, the great bandit on the horse was also startled, then roared angrily:

"Stinking beggar, are you looking for death?"

As his voice fell, not only did he not stop, but he urged the horse forward even more.

He wanted to trample this beggar, who didn't know his place, directly under the horse's hooves.

Chu Qing didn't speak. With a slight lift of his hand, the bamboo staff in his palm flew up. Reaching out to grab it, he heard a crack, and the bamboo staff instantly shattered in his grip.

Whoosh!

The shattered bamboo staff, wrapped around the sword sheath, flew out, its sharp edge suddenly revealed!

Seeing this, the great bandit on the horse naturally knew something was wrong. He took out a chain from behind his waist, just about to swing it out.

He saw a flash of silver light, and blood splattered everywhere!

Clatter, a severed hand, along with the chain, was thrown into the air.

Before the great bandit on the horse could even be horrified by the speed and ruthlessness of this sword strike, there was a bang from his chest, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking. He was kicked off the horse by Chu Qing.
