"You only realize that now?" Sun Fei looked at the dying assassin with pity and mocked, "A piece of trash like you doesn't deserve the name of an assassin. Stupid, arrogant, conceited, presumptuous, reckless, blind... you have all the weaknesses an assassin shouldn't have. You didn't even get the intelligence about your opponent. You came to assassinate like an idiot. What's the difference between that and suicide? I guess you have other companions? It must be your arrogance that angered them, so they sent you to your death, and incidentally, to test my true strength?"
"How did you know...?" Dilunke's eyes widened. Sun Fei's words seemed to finally make him understand why Captain Moduo had agreed so readily to let him take action and assured him that no one else would steal the credit. It turned out that they already knew that he couldn't kill King of Chambord... He, like Taike who had already died, was just a tool being used.
"You told me." Sun Fei smiled.
"You... you devil... you..." Dilunke trembled all over. He finally realized that he had been tricked into revealing his companion's existence to the King of Chambord. He also realized that from the beginning, he had only been a clown in the other's eyes, manipulated by this young man. Shocked and furious, he pulled a small black bottle from his pocket with his unbroken right arm and laughed maniacally, "Die! Die together! Haha, let's perish together!"
"You only thought of this now? Don't you think it's too late? You're really not a proper assassin." Sun Fei appeared in front of him like a ghost, snatching the small bottle from the assassin's severed arm in an instant. He then slammed the dagger, still clutched on the ground, into Dilunke's forehead. "A qualified assassin should never discard their weapon. You're far too amateurish. Here you go!"
Bang!
Dilunke's body swayed and fell limply to the ground, lying on the ground already stained red with his blood.
Sun Fei wiped his hands, put the small black bottle into his storage ring, and suddenly looked up at the top of a stone palace in the distance, saying calmly, "After watching for so long, you should now know the extent of my strength. What, aren't the four of you planning to make a move?"
He was met with silence.
"Not coming out? You dared to follow me, but you don't dare to come out. Are you playing hide-and-seek with me?" Sun Fei shrugged and laughed, "Since you're not coming out, then I'm leaving..." After saying that, he glanced into the distance, turned around and left.
However, after taking less than three steps, King Majesty the King suddenly turned around and threw a punch. The half-meter square fist imprint formed by the Undefeated Emperor Fist struck the stone palace in the distance with a thunderous boom, just like a terrifying meteor.
A loud, earth-shaking sound was heard.
The stone hall shook violently, sending stones flying. A huge rock was overturned, and several shadowy figures, still disheveled, appeared. They jumped down from the stone hall, but did not fight Sun Fei. Their figures flickered and disappeared into thin air, their auras rapidly fading away.
"If the first strike misses, they'll escape with potential. Hmm, these people do seem like real assassins." Sun Fei didn't give chase. These people were quite strong, all around the New Moon Class Lower Tier Third Stage. If he focused solely on escaping, it would be difficult to catch them, given the intricate, maze-like terrain and architecture of the God and Demon Palace complex. Besides, Sun Fei didn't have that much time to waste on such matters.
"According to the Necromancer Hasselbaink's speculation, if the [ God and Demon Altar ] truly exists, it should be located in the very core of the palace complex. However, that place is far too dangerous; even Great Sun-Rank Venerable would find it difficult to enter. My only hope lies in the mysterious map. I hope the safe route marked on this map will allow me to reach the core of the level 36 difficulty area and find the [ God and Demon Altar ]."
"However, having these rats following us around will only cause trouble sooner or later. We need to find a way to get rid of them. Hmm, Arthur has been gone for so long; with his abilities, he should have finished his business by now?"
Thinking of this, Sun Fei took out a scroll about ten centimeters long and as thick as a thumb from his storage ring. It was a pale silver color, and he infused it with a trace of Magic Power. He then unfurled it into the air, and a soft buzzing sound rang out. A small Teleport, about a meter tall, appeared in the air. It was half the size of the Teleport created by the [ Scroll of Town Portal ], and its color was also pale silver, like a wriggling mass of mercury.
This is a [ Short-Distance Summon Scroll ].
Sister Akara and Uncle Cain created a new type of Teleport scroll based on the principles of spatial Teleport explained by Sun Fei, combined with the magical principles of the [ Scroll of Town Portal ]. It can only Teleport within a ten-mile radius and cannot Teleport living beings with flesh and blood; it can only Teleport small items. Despite these limitations, it is better than nothing. Sun Fei carried several of them, and they have come in handy.
A tiny foot stepped out of the Teleport.
It's the undead bone dragon Arthur.
Only he, this freak who has neither flesh and blood nor life, can break through the many limitations of the [ Short-Distance Summon Scroll ] and emerge from it.
"Oh, damn it, this Teleport doesn't feel very pleasant." Arthur quickly emerged from the small silver Teleport, smoothing her beautiful, adorable golden hair and pouting, complaining, " Alexander, why were you in such a hurry to Summon me here?"
"How's it going?"
"You mean that pathetic, triangular-faced idiot?" Arthur's chubby face revealed a cunning expression that belied his youthful appearance. He chuckled, "Of course he's dead. Didn't you want me to kill him? I crushed his heart, and then... bang, he turned into a cloud of blood mist, leaving no trace. Hehe, how about that? Did I do a great job? I told you long ago, killing is my specialty." The old necromancer became unusually excited when talking about killing, recounting in detail the entire process of how he killed the [ King of Black Sand ].
"He's so heartless as to want to destroy Twin Flag City and massacre civilians to vent his anger? It seems that Triangle Face really deserved to die." Sun Fei shook his head after hearing this, the last trace of guilt in his heart dissipating. He then gave the smug Arthur a flick on the forehead and scolded, "Killing people is enough, why did you have to say that I sent you? Do you think others don't know my trump card? Keep a low profile, keeping a low profile is the key."
To everyone's surprise, the undead bone dragon retorted sharply, "Tch, stop pretending! I've known for a long time that you're a vain fellow. Doesn't this just satisfy your vanity? Hurry, hurry, give me some wine, I'm dying of thirst..."
Sun Fei: "..."
After a pause, Sun Fei took out several bottles of fine wine from the princess's collection from his storage ring and handed them to Arthur. He then whispered something in the undead bone dragon's ear. The bone dragon, after listening, grinned broadly and said, "Hahaha, good, going to kill again? Great! Killing is my favorite thing! Don't worry, leave these people to me. I'll make sure they're all reduced to dust. Hehe, but, one bottle of wine for each one killed, how about that?"
"Deal." Sun Fei nodded in agreement.
"This King of Chambord is truly terrifying; we all underestimated him..."
More than a thousand meters away from Sun Fei and the undead bone dragon, beneath a colossal beast-shaped stone statue, four assassins dressed in black, their expressions still filled with terror, exchanged glances. Although only their eyes were visible, they could not conceal the shock in their hearts.
At first, when they saw King of Chambord slaughtering Dilunke with such ease, they didn't think anything was wrong. After all, that fool Dilunke was so arrogant and stupid as to abandon the assassin's specialty—assassination—and deliberately revealed himself to confront King of Chambord head-on. Wasn't that just courting death?
However, after King of Chambord swiftly killed Dilunke, he unexpectedly unleashed a devastating punch that slammed into the stone palace, shattering half of it and truly sending them flying to their deaths.
The stone buildings in the God and Demon Palace had been preserved for countless years, enduring the vicissitudes of time without collapsing. They were renowned for their toughness and sturdiness. Even when they attacked with all their might, they could only barely leave a mark on the wall. However, when King of Chambord threw a punch from more than a hundred meters away, he almost collapsed the stone palace. Such strength had exceeded their most exaggerated estimates before the operation.
That punch was incredibly powerful.
The fist's intent is filled with an indescribable kingly aura, making one's heart tremble involuntarily. It's as if a high-ranking emperor is looking down, directly shocking your martial arts spirit. No matter how strong you are, you will instantly feel an irresistible sense of insignificance.
"It seems our intelligence was wrong. King of Chambord's strength is far beyond our capabilities. Let's discuss what to do next. Should we cancel the operation and go back to explain to our master, or should we continue following him and let the driver take action? If it's the latter, I think our chances of success are very slim." Captain Moduo looked at his three companions and said calmly, his expression grave.
The other three men's expressions flickered. They were all assassins with extremely strong wills, but at this moment, they began to waver without realizing it, unsure of what to do. The intimidating power of Sun Fei's punch had affected the assassins' minds and judgment.
