Assassination and Escape

He would infiltrate the Federation Parliament in the future, but not now. After all, he did not have many useful chess pieces in his hands right now.

As the high-level door opened, Toji Fushiguro stepped quietly inside. The location of the treasury was already determined.

After all, there were no hidden mechanisms or secret passages here, and the location had long since been fixed.

So as Toji Fushiguro approached, Li Qingxun gently tapped the desk in the bedroom.

Then he raised his palm, and a streak of flowing light swept across the Blue-and-White Ring.

It delivered a completely purple ring directly into Toji Fushiguro's mind.

Toji Fushiguro raised his hand, and the terrifying, ultimate giant force of the Soul Liberation Blade in his grip tore through space.

Coordinating with a powerful assistive force, he split the entire door open in an instant.

The piercing sound of an alarm resounded through the entire Spirit Pagoda in a single instant.

Yet Toji Fushiguro completely ignored this. He raised his palm, letting the purple ring appear in his hand.

Immediately, a terrifying spatial suction force came over him.

The numerous treasures stored in the Skysea City Spirit Pagoda were sucked into it in an instant.

Among them were centennial-grade Spirit Herbs, precious special metals, and even a portion of already-crafted Soul Tools.

In addition, some relatively precious Soul Spirit reserves were also completely taken away at this moment.

These were the foundations of the Skysea City Spirit Pagoda, but at this moment, everything was quietly and completely taken away by Li Qingxun.

The low hum of the alarm ignited the entire Spirit Pagoda almost in an instant.

Almost simultaneously, all the lights were fully turned on.

Every defensive and offensive facility entered a state of maximum alert.

Yet right at this moment, Toji Fushiguro had already followed a nearby staircase to the window. Without any hesitation, he leaped headfirst from it.

This was a high-rise of over thirty floors, and if a normal person fell from here, they would probably have been dashed to pieces long ago.

As for Toji Fushiguro, it would at most result in ruptured internal organs and would not be fatal.

With Li Qingxun's Fantasy Power protecting his body, his injuries would soon fully recover as if nothing had happened.

As his body crashed heavily onto the earth, a deafening explosion suddenly burst forth.

Toji Fushiguro's body leaped up fiercely.

The Spirit Pagoda combat personnel on night duty nearby were closely following behind him, swiftly chasing after his footsteps.

However, Toji Fushiguro had already stepped onto the wall with one foot and leaped into midair, then fled rapidly toward the distance without the slightest pause.

The entire Spirit Pagoda was completely alarmed in an instant, and countless sleeping staff members quickly rose to their feet.

These staff members and combat personnel, who had originally been resting, swiftly organized their respective soul tool equipment.

Then they drove soul tool off-road vehicles and pursued Toji Fushiguro urgently.

Laser beams struck continuously behind Toji Fushiguro, but his speed was simply too fast.

Even running purely on physical strength, his speed was still many times faster than a normal off-road vehicle.

Moreover, with a single bound, his body could fly an extremely vast distance.

The Spirit Pagoda side felt an equal amount of helplessness toward an opponent who was like a humanoid beast.

No matter how fast the soul tool soldiers pursued, catching up to him in a short period of time was simply impossible.

Meanwhile, in midair, a streak of flowing fire was rapidly ignited.

It was a woman with delicate and beautiful features. A full seven soul rings descended slowly around her, and a formidable aura continuously spread across her entire body.

Behind her was a huge Fire Sparrow, which let out a mournful cry toward the heavens.

Then the huge fire wings behind the woman unfolded with a bang. She chased after Toji Fushiguro and charged forward rapidly.

Watching the woman give chase, Li Qingxun's expression did not change at all. His demeanor was calm to the point of being nearly indifferent.

As his Fantasy Power simply spread out, coupled with the previously drawn map of Skysea City,

Toji Fushiguro quickly escaped the city center where the Spirit Pagoda was located and headed toward the outer areas.

The Skysea City Spirit Pagoda was originally right in the very center of Skysea City, boasting the highest defense level.

Even strangers were not allowed within a surrounding street.

Therefore, Toji Fushiguro's face could not be concealed no matter what.

Yet whether his face could be concealed or not didn't matter; the resources had already been taken away anyway.

As Toji Fushiguro fled rapidly into the distance, the woman's figure followed closely behind.

A terrifying, ultimate flame ignited in an instant. The woman was clearly furious to the extreme at this moment.

Her speed was unbelievably fast, completely disregarding whether this was a residential area or not.

However, Toji Fushiguro did not run far before walking directly into a hospital.

Gazing at the hospital before her eyes, the woman's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

She desperately wanted to directly destroy the hospital, but thinking of the Spirit Pagoda's reputation, her eyes flickered incessantly.

Of course the Spirit Pagoda wouldn't care about dying commoners; after all, what did the life or death of commoners have to do with high-and-mighty Lord Soul Masters like them?

The problem was that once they actually did this, it would be detrimental to the Spirit Pagoda's prestige.

One had to know that the reason the Spirit Pagoda had been willing to help these people awaken over the years-and at a relatively low fee-

was precisely for the sake of the Spirit Pagoda's prestige.

While everywhere else required exorbitant awakening fees, the Spirit Pagoda's low awakening fees naturally won the favorable impression of many people.

Even though this was a free service two ten thousand years ago, after the devastation of these years, low-priced fees had transformed into a means to capture the hearts of the people.

Therefore, if the woman were to truly destroy the hospital at this moment, the blow to the entire Spirit Pagoda's prestige would be immense.

Yet the problem was that she couldn't not give chase; after all, the resources were completely gone, and if she didn't pursue, she would have to bear the consequences herself.

Thinking of the near-terrifying resources inside vanishing entirely, the woman was driving herself mad.

"Dammit, dammit! Even though I don't know who you are, do you really think you can escape?"

As she spoke, the woman let out a low cry. Her figure also descended, arriving directly on the roof of the hospital.

A complete set of two-word Soul Armor manifested over her body, and a formidable aura enveloped her surroundings.

Yet instead of releasing it, she turned and charged into the hospital.

Though she didn't want to make a move, once matters became impossible, she didn't mind letting the entire hospital be buried along with them.

Even countless surrounding buildings would be destroyed together with that petty thief who dared to steal from their Spirit Pagoda.

Sensing that the woman was closing in on her pursuit, Toji Fushiguro lightened his footsteps and arrived at the third floor.

This was an inpatient ward, where the vast majority of patients were already fast asleep.

As Fantasy Power slowly wrapped around them, everything in the surroundings began to grow hazy and indistinct.

Li Qingxun had not yet mastered the Authority of the Unknown Type, and was unable to make himself be distorted and erased from everyone's perception.

Even so, temporarily influencing himself-or rather, the current Toji Fushiguro-was already enough.

As Toji Fushiguro stepped inside, the three teenagers lying on the beds had already woken up the previous night.

However, at this moment, the three of them still had gauze wrapped around their bodies and wore listless expressions.

Sitting beside them were three women. Since it was already late in the night, the three women were fast asleep.

Only these three newly awakened teenagers were still sitting there discussing something.

Faced with the sudden appearance of Toji Fushiguro, a trace of tension filled all three pairs of eyes.

Yet Toji Fushiguro couldn't be bothered to pay them any mind.

His gaze swept over these people coldly, and then he spoke with icy indifference.

"I almost forgot there was still a cleansing mission like this. This seat is the Sixth Deacon under the Skysea City Holy Spirit Cult, the Heavenly Restriction Tyrant."

"You deceived our Holy Cult, and since there were powerhouses protecting the target, the Holy Cult's assassination failed, resulting in the loss of the Eastsea City branch. As punishment, you shall all be eradicated."

Toji Fushiguro's voice was very calm, and he made no effort to conceal his face.

That icy visage revealed the ultimate coldness belonging to an assassin.

Hearing Toji Fushiguro's words, the three women were also startled awake.

Their eyes likewise gazed at Toji Fushiguro in terror.

Yet before they could even speak, a terrifying flash of blade light vanished in a blink.

A blinding radiance burst forth from the Soul Liberation Blade, and the very next second, the heads of several people were all severed and rolled onto the ground.

Watching their respective parents die, the three teenagers let out a mournful scream.

However, regarding the screams of the three, Toji Fushiguro did not linger.

Meanwhile, in midair, enveloped by illusory mist, Li Qingxun likewise watched this scene indifferently.

He had not made Toji Fushiguro act directly, but the death of the three was inevitable.

The reason they weren't killed until now naturally had its own purpose.

As three strands of bizarre Fantasy Power poured into the bodies of the three teenagers,

their bodies trembled slightly. Then, the next second, Toji Fushiguro stomped his foot and shattered the earth.

The entire ground collapsed consecutively, and his body plunged directly toward the underground.

At that moment at the doorway, the door was violently thrust open, and scorching flames spread rapidly.

The woman stepped forward, her figure dropping in immediate pursuit of Toji Fushiguro.

As a terrifying aura spread out, when she reached the first floor, Toji Fushiguro's figure had already vanished completely.

Only the woman remained in place, a trace of towering murderous intent carrying in her eyes.

The scorching flames caused the entire space to begin churning.

Out on the street at that moment, Toji Fushiguro-wrapped in the invisibility of Fantasy Power-walked forward with a calm expression.

Watching Toji Fushiguro make a complete escape, Li Qingxun sat cross-legged quietly on the bed, a trace of contemplation resting in his eyes.

The talents he required were evidently quite numerous-whether it was healing-type talents

or talents capable of changing appearances and hiding types,

he was in urgent need of them all. Although Toji Fushiguro's personal assassination abilities were indeed very strong,

if other supporting positions could be fully matched,

then his assassination capabilities would ascend to an even higher level.
