Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 785 - 773: Genius Assassin, Yang Zhong!
With a "boom", a streak of blood-colored blaze ignited on Shi Feng’s right hand, incinerating the old woman’s corpse.
The blood-colored blaze instantly devoured the corpse, then rolled back onto Shi Feng’s hand and was absorbed by him.
Shi Feng’s white figure gently descended, landing back on the ground.
"Young Master Feng, that person must be an assassin from hell! If I’m not mistaken, this person is an Earth-level assassin, Jade Rakshasa of the Thousand Shadows Palm!" Luo Qingchuan also deduced the old woman’s origin from her martial skills.
Following that, Luo Qingchuan coldly said, "Which beast hired a hell assassin to kill you?"
"I really don’t know," Shi Feng shook his head and said, then continued, "I’ve killed too many; there are also many who desire my life! Forget it, don’t think about it anymore. If hell dares to send assassins again, I will kill one every time I see one, until they are afraid to come!"
By the time he reached the end, Shi Feng’s tone had gradually grown colder, with a chilling killing intent.
At that moment, Shi Feng heard a girl’s full sigh of regret: "Ah! What a pity! So many legendary candied haws have fallen to the ground and gotten dirty."
Shi Feng turned his head and looked towards Zi Ya, who was by his side. At the moment, Zi Ya was looking down, her gaze completely fixed on the candied haws spilled on the ground.
Seeing the girl’s appearance, Shi Feng grinned and said to her with a smile, "Do you want to eat?"
Hearing Shi Feng’s voice, Zi Ya slowly lifted her head, looked towards Shi Feng, and then nodded vigorously, responding, "Mhm!"
Shi Feng glanced at the street and saw another middle-aged man selling candied haws not far away. He then said to Luo Qingchuan, "Go buy all his candied haws."
"Okay!" Luo Qingchuan nodded. Being addressed by his master, he naturally did not hesitate, flashing towards the candied haw vendor on the street ahead.
"You’ll be able to eat them soon," Shi Feng pointed to Luo Qingchuan moving towards the candied haw vendor and told Zi Ya.
"Hehe, Brother Shi Feng, you’re so nice!" Upon hearing Shi Feng’s words, Zi Ya gave a sweet smile, beaming like a flower.
It didn’t take long for Luo Qingchuan to return with a large bunch of candied haws. Zi Ya took one and bit into it blissfully. Her eyes slightly squinted, showing an expression of immense enjoyment and intoxication.
Such an appearance was simply a delectable joy of the world!
Then, Shi Feng and the two others continued on their way towards the Space Transmission Array of the City of Destiny.
..
In an unknown territory, within a dark corner, a voice said, "The target information was incorrect, the battle power is above a three-star Martial Emperor, Jade Rakshasa is dead! Awaiting further instructions from above!"
Silence fell in the dark corner for a short while, before a deep voice responded, "Send Yang Zhong, the Earth-level genius assassin newly joined to our hell!"
"Yang Zhong!" Upon hearing the deep voice, the previous speaker exclaimed in shock.
Earth-level genius assassin Yang Zhong had joined hell three months ago, skilled in fire attacks, dual cultivation of techniques and martial arts, with martial arts prowess at the two-star Martial Emperor Realm. Yet, just three days ago, he had leapt ranks and killed a warrior in the four-star Martial Emperor Realm!
"Yang Zhong," the person murmured the name again.
..
Over a sea of rolling fiery flames, a bare figure sat cross-legged, young in appearance, with eyes slightly closed as if he were in a state of cultivation.
If one looked closely, they would see wisps of flame, like flowing water, pouring into the body of the young man.
"Hmm?" Just then, the man’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and he opened his eyes, looking up.
Following that, the naked young man saw a black Jade Scroll suddenly falling from the sky, gently landing in the palm of his outstretched right hand.
"Hell!" The young man looked at the black Jade Scroll and immediately recognized its origin.
Afterward, the young man placed the black Jade Scroll at his forehead, reading the information within.
After he had finished reading the information, he suddenly cracked a smile.
"What’s the matter, Zhong’er? What does Hell want you to do this time?" Just then, a hoary voice suddenly emanated from the green Jade Scroll hanging around the young man’s neck.
"Master, Hell has a new task! But guess who they want me to kill this time?" Yang Zhong asked with a laugh.
"I do not know!" The Jade Scroll once again emitted an elderly voice, answering truthfully.
"Haha! It’s Shi Feng!" When Yang Zhong mentioned this name, his voice suddenly turned cold.
"Shi Feng!" When the ancient voice spoke again, it grew somber.
Upon hearing this name, he was reminded of the boy from the Nine Nether Lineage, the exceptionally talented youngster of Nine Nether.
"Humph, humph!" Yang Zhong let out two cold snorts, and said coldly once more, "Hell wants me to join, offering me Earth-level flames, Hell Black Flame. It’s only right for us to kill a few people for them!
This time, however, I never thought it would be this person. Haha! Hahahaha! Shi Feng, this time, let me take your head!"
As Yang Zhong laughed, five flame wisps the size of fists suddenly appeared around his body, in black, green, blue, purple, and orange colors!
These five flame wisps were all Earth-level flames! And they had all reached Ninth-stage Emperor Level!
..
After two days, Shi Feng and his companions finally arrived at their destination, an exceptionally bustling city, Sunset City!
Sunset City was under the jurisdiction of the Sunset City Lord—Luo Long, who was rumored to be an unparalleled powerhouse that had stepped into the Eight-star Martial Emperor Realm.
"We’re finally here, Sunset City!" Stepping out from the Space Transmission Array’s area into the bustling streets outside, Luo Qingchuan spoke solemnly. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Then, he turned to Shi Feng beside him and asked, "Young Master Feng, what should we do now? Go directly to meet Luo Long?"
"Yes, go directly to meet him," Shi Feng said.
Following that, Shi Feng spoke with a sneer, "Didn’t that kid from the Bright Camp in Central State already tell others that I have been reborn into this world? I assume this news is known by quite a few people across the Tianheng Continent by now.
When we see Luo Long, let’s say we are acting on the command of Emperor Nine Nether from the Netherworld, to the Western Region, and see if Luo Long dares make things difficult for us!"
Hearing Shi Feng’s words, Luo Qingchuan looked at him profoundly and laughed, "Emperor Nine Nether’s Netherworld command! Haha, Luo Long surely wouldn’t dare!"
"What Emperor Nine Nether? I don’t understand at all what you two are talking about." Zi Ya, the Snake-man Clan Girl, looked completely puzzled as she listened to Shi Feng and Luo Qingchuan’s conversation, not understanding a word.
"It’s nothing!" Shi Feng smiled faintly, addressing the innocent Snake-man Clan Girl.
