Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 784 - 772: Hell

In the City of Destiny, the Human Clan’s architecture seemed irresistibly tempting to the Snake-man Clan Girl. She blatantly ignored her own identity and the unusual stares directed at her. She simply followed Shi Feng, scanning the buildings as they walked.

At that moment, in the darkness, a gaze fixed on Shi Feng and his companions like a Poison Snake, and a cold smirk appeared.

"Candied hawthorns! Crunchy, sweet, and delicious candied hawthorns!" Just then, an old woman’s voice selling them rang out ahead.

"Ah! Candied hawthorns! These must be the legendary candied hawthorns! They look so good and must be delicious!" Zi Ya heard the cries from ahead and was immediately drawn to the strings of candied hawthorns. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The old woman noticed Zi Ya and approached her with a gentle, kind smile, saying, "Little girl, buy a string of candied hawthorns! They’re crunchy, sweet, and delicious! And cheap too."

"Brother Shi Feng!" Zi Ya’s gaze shifted from the candied hawthorns as she turned her head, looking hopefully at Shi Feng.

Shi Feng also saw the girl staring at him with her big, pitiful eyes. He smiled and said to the old woman in front of him, "I’ll take them all."

As he spoke, a Gold Coin had already appeared in his hand.

"Ah! Taking all of them!" exclaimed the old woman, her mouth agape with surprise. Her face then lit up with joy, and she nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Yes! Very well!" she agreed enthusiastically.

However, at that moment, Shi Feng smirked coldly and flicked his finger, sending the Gold Coin spinning from his fingertip. With a crisp "bang," it transformed into a streak of golden light, shooting rapidly toward the old woman selling candied hawthorns.

"Hmm!" Instantly, the old woman’s kind smile changed, her gaze sharpened, and she dropped the candied hawthorns. Her body swiftly ascended to dodge the Gold Coin shot by Shi Feng.

"You old Undying, you really played the role of a candied hawthorn seller well!" Shi Feng said coldly, watching the old woman fly up.

Immediately afterward, Shi Feng’s figure flashed and vanished from where he was. When he reappeared, he was already in front of the old woman, and then, he launched a ferocious punch toward her!

"This power? The intelligence was wrong!" Feeling the force of Shi Feng’s punch, the old woman cried out in alarm, then her palms moved to create continuous palm shadows in front of her. In an instant, it seemed as if thousands of palm shadows bombarded Shi Feng.

"Break them all!" Shi Feng commanded coldly. His right fist moved, instantly shattering the palm shadows in front of him, unstoppable.

Seeing Shi Feng’s strength, the old woman’s face changed drastically. Seeing that unstoppable punch about to hit her chest, she quickly moved her palms again, striking Shi Feng’s right fist.

"Ah!" A scream erupted from the old woman’s mouth as under the force of Shi Feng’s punch, her palms were immediately blasted apart.

Then her whole body rapidly flew backward.

"What! What is happening? His power!" As she flew backward, disbelief filled the old woman’s face while she looked at her arms, now missing the hands.

The opponent’s strength was completely above her own.

Even though his punch bore the power of a Three-star Martial Emperor, she too was in the Three-star Martial Emperor Realm! How could she be completely overwhelmed by him? How was this possible!

However, immediately afterward, the old woman hesitated no longer, her retreating figure swiftly flashed, suddenly disappearing into thin air.

This operation had been discovered by the adversary even before it had started; it was destined to fail from the outset. Compounded by errors in intelligence, the failure was further guaranteed.

"Trying to run!" Just then, right above where the old crone had disappeared, a cold voice sounded. Shi Feng’s figure appeared, followed by a violent punch aimed at what seemed to be empty space.

"BOOM!"

"AAH!"

The sky erupted with a massive booming sound, followed instantly by a dreadful scream.

In the violently fluctuating void, the spot where Shi Feng’s fist had struck slowly revealed a gray figure, the same old crone in gray cloth.

Her face was full of pain, surprise, and disbelief.

"Assassin’s Way!" Shi Feng stared at the reemerging old crone and said coldly, then with his right hand, he grabbed her throat.

Shi Feng looked coldly at the old crone in his grasp and spoke again in a chilly tone, "If I am not mistaken, you must be a Hell’s assassin? A three-star martial emperor realm, belonging to the earth-level killers!"

"Hmph!" Faced with Shi Feng’s question, a cold sneer appeared on the old crone’s face, and she snorted!

Shi Feng tightened his grip on the old crone’s throat with his right hand and demanded again in a cold voice, "Speak! Who exactly contracted you to take my life!"

"HAHA! HAHA! HAHAHA!" Just then, the old crone suddenly burst into laughter, followed quickly by a stream of black poisonous blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.

The old crone’s eyes rolled back, and her head suddenly jerked to the right in a sharp twist!

"Suicide?" Shi Feng said coldly, then added, "And even self-destroyed her soul!" Shi Feng sensed for a moment; the old crone was not only dead, her soul had also annihilated itself!

Essentially, she had completely vanished from this world, both body and spirit.

The assassins of Hell! Ruthless to their foes, even more ruthless to themselves!

With the old crone’s spirit and body both vanished, there was nothing Shi Feng could extract from her! Moreover, having killed many and accrued numerous enemies, it was natural that many would wish him dead.

Shi Feng was clueless as to which scum had spent a fortune to contract a Hell’s assassin to take his life.

Hell, an ancient assassin force existing on the Tianheng Continent, had been around for many ages.

The assassin ranks of Hell were divided into heavenly, earth, mysterious, and yellow levels! This old crone, a three-star martial emperor realm assassin, was merely an earth-level assassin!

Above the earth level is the heavenly rank. However, the cost to hire a heavenly rank assassin is rumored to be extremely high. As for the exact price, that remains unknown.

It has been many years since Hell last dispatched a heavenly rank assassin to kill; whether there are any heavenly rank assassins left is known only to them.

Rumors once told that in Hell, if you could afford the price to hire a heavenly rank assassin, their emergence meant certain death for someone!
