A true Assassin must possess this kind of spirit: whether I live or die, you must die.

Nowadays, most Assassin are not strong enough to be called Assassin; they are more like killers. They lack the courage to fight against overwhelming odds and sacrifice themselves for righteousness. Of course, "righteousness" here can be interpreted as loyalty or belief.

Lin Feng charged straight at Wu Siqi, his astonishing aura pressing down on the area around him. This aura was similar to Wu Siqi's, but with slight differences, causing all of Lin Feng's energy and spirit to be compressed.

Wu Siqi felt a chill run down his spine, realizing he had overestimated himself by using the word "Assassin." However, he wasn't panicked. He had his pride; if they said he'd give him three moves, then he'd give them three moves.

His inner energy surged forth, transforming into golden dragons that coiled around him. These dragons grew increasingly realistic, completely obscuring Wu Siqi's massive body. Through Lu Li's eyes, stripping away the unrealistic visual and auditory effects and any camouflage, this monster seemed familiar... somewhere before?

"Flood Dragon / Giant Devouring Worm?" Lu Li gripped the umbrella in his hand, vaguely recalling where he had seen a similar creature before. "However, it's not exactly the same; there are still some differences. It should be a close relative of the Giant Devouring Worm."

"I remember that the Dragon-Worshiping Qi-Nurturing Scripture mentioned that among the different types of Jiaolong, there is a Flood Dragon that fears water, called the Earth Dragon / Burrowing Demon Worm." Lu Li's eyes flashed, and he quickly determined the source of the demonic tissue that Hu Wenxu Implantation Wu Siqi's body.

"So, it seems the disaster that will happen in the future should be called the Dragon Demon Calamity?" A scene flashed through Lu Li's eyes: a large number of monsters ravaging the land. These monsters were covered in slime, with human heads and snake bodies. When they opened their mouths, they would spit out a large number of tentacles, which would wrap around their enemies and suck their life and blood.

Thinking of this, Lu Li took out another booklet and recorded two cultivation techniques. One was Black Water True Qi, which could cultivate a large amount of black water to restrain these dragon demons. The other was derived from the Dragon-Worshiping Qi-Nurturing Scripture, which was cultivated by hunting Dragon Demon Black Heaven Scripture and absorbing their essence.

"Put it with the book from before; it's marked as a technique to suppress disasters." Lu Li handed it to Hu Hansan, his eyes narrowed as he pondered the possible information about the future, which then jumped into Lu Li's perception system.

"The Black Heaven Hall, which was originally supposed to collapse after suffering the main damage from the Dragon Demon Calamity, has actually managed to retain a portion of its territory thanks to my measures. It wasn't completely taken over by Golden Sand Island. The future is truly interesting." Lu Li smiled.

In Lu Li's rough vision of the future, the Black Heaven Hall would occupy a large amount of territory in this world a few years later, suppressing the Ancient Moon Hall. However, Wu Siqi would then become completely demonized, and the Dragon Demon Calamity would begin to spread. As the largest organization at that time, the Black Heaven Hall would suffer the greatest damage. After roughly resolving the Dragon Demon Calamity, it would be countered by the hidden Golden Sand Island and enter a period of seclusion.

Then, two hundred years later, Hu Hansan's descendants had the opportunity to use the books left by Lu Li to find Zhao Yifan's descendants and rebuild the Black Heaven Hall. However, after Lu Li wrote down two cultivation techniques, the future changed.

Although the Black Heaven Hall will suffer heavy losses in the process of fighting against the Dragon Demon, it will still retain some vitality because of the two cultivation techniques. Although the people of Golden Sand Island will take advantage of the situation and seize a large amount of territory, they will still be able to successfully defend some of their territory. After two or three generations, they will rise again because of the cultivation techniques left by Lu Li.

"The rise of Golden Sand Island over the past century is unchangeable. Even if I eliminate Wu Siqi here, other disasters will still occur." Lu Li's eyes flickered, a message conveyed by number 999 flashing across his mind. "Ye Fanxiao, the next protagonist?"

Just as Lu Li was contemplating the future changes, the two in the arena finally clashed. Lin Feng flicked out a dagger, directly slicing through Wu Siqi's dragon tentacles. His aura compressed rapidly, and the dagger in his hand could easily cut through those internal energy dragon tentacles.

Wu Siqi indeed possessed an impressive skill. It was as if countless internal energies overflowed from his body, forming tendrils of a divine dragon. He simply stood still, without using any other techniques, and forcefully withstood Lin Feng's attack.

"First move," Wu Siqi said arrogantly, his body erupting with an even stronger aura, his inner energy surging out as if to push Lin Feng aside.

"Is he accumulating momentum through the three-move agreement?" Lu Li understood the reasoning behind it. Wu Siqi's decision to give up three moves was not out of blind arrogance, but rather a way to build up his invincible momentum. With each move he survived, he grew stronger. Once the three moves were over, Wu Siqi would be truly powerful, and others would find it difficult to withstand even one of his moves.

"The method is good, but it's easy to mess it up." Lu Li shook his head. If Lin Feng didn't hold back, Wu Siqi might not last three moves.

He looked up at Hu Wenxu; there was no way he wouldn't see this. Judging from his calm demeanor, he must have a backup plan?

Lin Feng unleashed countless crimson auras, which enveloped him once more, and charged directly towards Wu Siqi. Within those scarlet auras, it seemed as if countless lives were wailing in agony.

"Killing intent!" It was the aura condensed from the countless lives tragically lost at his hands. Wu Siqi's condensed inner energy tentacles were sliced open as if they were made of paper, and the scarlet dagger rushed directly in front of Wu Siqi.

Layers of scales appeared before Wu Siqi, as if cast in gold, resembling the scales of a divine dragon. Wu Siqi's aura surged once more, and even more turbulent internal energy erupted. "Second move!"

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, and an aura that seemed to kill and Annihilation everything appeared on his body. The three powers of Assassin's intent, killing intent, and Annihilation intent merged into one, breaking through the scales that appeared on Wu Siqi's body. The dagger with strange fluctuations pierced Wu Siqi's brow.

However, Wu Siqi's physical body was also extremely powerful. The dagger was pressed against his brow, seemingly unable to advance an inch. Then, Lin Feng jumped back, all his aura and intent vanished, and he landed beside Ding Yuan, calmly saying, "I lost the third move."

Wu Siqi's momentum suddenly faltered, a small red dot appeared between his eyebrows, and anger emanated from him. He had prepared three moves, only to have his opponent forfeit just like that? It felt like he had prepared everything, only to find that next night, it was Pleasant Goat who came down.

Wu Siqi glared fiercely at Lin Feng, then turned his gaze to Xiao Leng and Zhao Yifan. His imposing aura diminished slightly, but he still managed to maintain most of his composure as he said, "I'm waiting for you."

Lu Li glanced at Lin Feng, who had a calm expression, and shook his head. That guy was definitely hiding his strength. Although most people didn't notice, Lu Li did notice one thing: Lin Feng wasn't even using his internal energy.

However, Hu Wenxu and Wu Siqi didn't use their backup plans, Lu Li laughed, glancing at Ding Yuan. "Interesting. Is he deliberately avoiding high rankings?"
