King of Assassins-Chapter 44 Mo Sect’s Holy Hall
Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Mo Sect’s Holy Hall
The Ghost Spear was also quite frustrated with today’s failure, as the plan to assassinate Wei Yue today was actually very rushed.
However, the client had arranged for an insider, so killing Wei Yue wasn’t difficult.
The Ghost Spear had already received information about the basic situation of the attendees. He paid no attention to Gao Xuan at all.
The moment when Gao Xuan and Wei Yue were talking was the best position and timing.
The Ghost Spear seized the opportunity to fire. He didn’t care whether Gao Xuan lived or died, as long as he could kill Wei Yue.
He thought he would undoubtedly hit, but unexpectedly, Gao Xuan suddenly intervened, forcing Wei Yue to back off. His shot, meant to be lethal, only killed two inconsequential people.
The Ghost Spear was really furious at that moment. His successive two shots were indeed to silence witnesses, but also partly out of frustration.
Before Yuanlong Company’s people reacted, the Ghost Spear quietly fled far away.
Yet, today’s failure was something he could not accept.
Not to mention that he couldn’t explain it to his employers, but just the fact that Gao Xuan could sense his sniper shot meant that person couldn’t be left alive.
Blocking target perception was exactly the Ghost Spear’s renowned skill. Without this ability, how could he have the skill to carry out long-distance sniping on experts?
So, the Ghost Spear found out where Gao Xuan lived and came over to retaliate and kill.
The Ghost Spear noticed the security personnel sent by Wu Caihong but didn’t care. This group of people stayed under Gao Xuan’s building with a perfunctory work attitude, posing no threat to him.
This time, the Ghost Spear was extremely cautious, and his Yin Demon Talisman was always activated.
The Yin Demon Talisman was a Black Iron Marvel, which the Ghost Spear had come across early in his career and gradually discovered how to use.
The Yin Demon Talisman could isolate him from the outside world, enveloping him in a light mist.
In this state, sounds were distorted, shadows were shielded, and the outside world could hardly detect his existence.
Therefore, his use of firearms wouldn’t be detected by targets. The Yin Demon Talisman could even block an expert’s instinct for danger.
Moreover, the Yin Demon Talisman had a small space to store firearms and other equipment.
The Ghost Spear was already a formidable marksman, and the development of the Yin Demon Talisman capabilities further empowered him. He gradually became the renowned Ghost Spear of East Continent.
The downside of the Yin Demon Talisman was that it absorbed people’s desires, gradually making one lose all desires and eventually becoming a killing zombie.
The Ghost Spear also discovered the issue with the Yin Demon Talisman, but he had become accustomed to its presence. He would rather lose his desires than lose the Talisman’s power, the mighty force that let him control life and death.
As a top assassin, the Ghost Spear didn’t just rely on the Yin Demon Talisman. He had a very calm mindset as well.
In fact, only during this kind of time did the Ghost Spear feel at ease. Because he was hiding in the dark, nobody could find him, yet he controlled others’ lives.
Only the wind on the rooftop was a bit too strong.
The Yin Demon Talisman could separate him from the outside, but it only shielded his personal information and couldn’t block incoming forces.
Including natural wind and rain, the Yin Demon Talisman couldn’t guard against them.
The rooftop had no protective glass, and the howling wind was very loud and noisy.
The Ghost Spear found the wind noise a bit irritating. Just as he was about to adjust his state, he suddenly heard a faint anomaly in the wind.
The abnormal sound was like a feather falling to the ground, almost without any noise.
In the activated state of the Yin Demon Talisman, the Ghost Spear’s perception was exceptionally keen. He clearly captured this slight abnormal sound.
"This is definitely not a natural sound..."
Without hesitation, the Ghost Spear turned and drew his pistol, and just then, a hideous sword cry entered his ears.
The sword cry seemed to contain thousands of demons howling in whispers, making the Ghost Spear momentarily dazed.
A flash of bloody blade light, and the Godslaying Sword had already pierced into the Ghost Spear’s heart.
The sword that pierced through his heart also halted all the Ghost Spear’s movements. Although his body suffered a fatal wound, his mind, assimilated by the Yin Demon Talisman, remained very clear.
The Ghost Spear could only see a blurry semi-transparent silhouette, indistinctly humanoid inside.
Unable to see height or size, let alone discern features.
The Ghost Spear was immensely shocked. Clearly protected by the Yin Demon Talisman and having fired no shots, how did the opponent discover his whereabouts?
Could it be that kid Gao Xuan?
The more the Ghost Spear thought about it, the more it seemed true. Out of everyone he had killed, only Gao Xuan had detected the warning early and saved someone from his gunpoint.
Gathering all his remaining strength, he quaveringly said, "Gao Xuan!"
"You’re not stupid."
Gao Xuan was a bit surprised too. Even in his disguise, the Ghost Spear could recognize him; this guy really was something. No wonder he was one of the top ten assassins in the East Continent.
But it didn’t matter anymore; he was certainly doomed.
"You are indeed an expert. I should have known this wasn’t luck the moment I failed. I was wrong..."
The Ghost Spear muttered unwillingly, thinking he made a huge mistake by not leaving after failing and even planning to retaliate and kill. It was really foolish.
"Don’t worry, I will ensure your Ghost Spear name shines brightly."
Gao Xuan comforted him, saying, "Rest in peace."
He thought for a moment and added, "How about giving me your account details or something, so you leave a name, and I’ll make you famous. Wouldn’t that be nice..."
Gao Xuan was just talking without expecting a response, but the Ghost Spear, after a brief silence, surprisingly said, "You are indeed a peculiar person. I can give you the Yin Demon Talisman and my account."
"What are your conditions?" Gao Xuan was surprised and delighted, but he didn’t show it, calmly asking for the other party’s conditions.
The Ghost Spear, being slain by him, couldn’t be so kind-hearted without demands.
"Kill my handler, Black Flame."
The Ghost Spear suggested to Gao Xuan, "I asked him to investigate your information. If you don’t kill him, he will come for you sooner or later. Black Flame has very powerful backing."
"Deal." Gao Xuan agreed it readily.
The Ghost Spear was right; just because Black Flame wanted to investigate him, Black Flame deserved to die.
The key was having the Ghost Spear’s Dark Web Advanced Account, which would allow direct access to the Mo Sect’s Hall, and acquire the title of Seventh Sage, providing significant assistance.
This even increased his chances against Luojia by thirty percent!
Thanks to the Ghost Spear being eroded by the Yin Demon Talisman, his body was already somewhat demonized, allowing him to just barely finish explaining about the account and the Yin Demon Talisman.
The Ghost Spear sighed softly, "Living is so exhausting. It’s like a traveler reaching the end of their journey, suddenly feeling very relaxed..."
Before the Ghost Spear could finish speaking, the light in his eyes dimmed, his breath completely ceased.
"Rest well. Goodnight."
Gao Xuan watched the Ghost Spear leave, then collected the Yin Demon Talisman and the Ghost Spear’s smart watch.
The Godslaying Sword rotated its blade, turning the Ghost Spear into a flash of blood light, collecting it.
Then he activated the Yin Demon Talisman, collecting all of the Ghost Spear’s belongings.
The Yin Demon Talisman was a Black Iron skull pendant, tied with a black fiber rope. This black fiber could withstand several tons of tension, extremely sturdy.
Gao Xuan fiddled with it a bit, then put the Yin Demon Talisman around his neck. This thing was actually quite handy.
Then, he felt a chill permeate his body. The heat within him suddenly decreased a lot.
But it was just a momentary effect; the heat soon erupted like a volcanic explosion, the coolness from the Yin Demon Talisman immediately dispersed.
Gao Xuan wasn’t disappointed; the Yin Demon Talisman was just a Black Iron Marvel, far too inferior to the Celestial Dragon Eye. This thing couldn’t possibly suppress the side effects of the Celestial Dragon Eye.
Gao Xuan packed up his things and silently leaped off the rooftop, and a dozen seconds later he was back on his own rooftop.
The whole trip took Gao Xuan only two minutes.
Seeing Gao Xuan safe and sound, Yun Qingshang relaxed quite a bit.
"Is it resolved?"
"It’s resolved."
Gao Xuan tossed the Yin Demon Talisman in his hand to Yun Qingshang, and said with a joyful smile, "The Ghost Spear really loosened up, willing to leave everything to me. What a... good man."
Yun Qingshang took the Yin Demon Talisman, feeling a chill all over her body, and asked in surprise, "Is this also a Marvel?"
"The Yin Demon Talisman can block light and sound, and can also block a master’s intuition for danger. Inside, there’s a small subspace to store a sniper rifle, which was the key to the Ghost Spear’s fame..."
Gao Xuan guided Yun Qingshang on how to use the Yin Demon Talisman. This thing was very easy to use, as long as one knew how to establish resonance with Spiritual Power, it could be activated, though the side effects were somewhat significant.
Yun Qingshang activated the Yin Demon Talisman, and her whole body turned into a faintly discernible wisp of smoke, no longer any trace of a person’s figure.
After trying it out, Yun Qingshang also felt this thing was really useful, no wonder the Ghost Spear became one of the top ten assassins of the East Continent.
The most powerful aspect of Source Power masters was their keen perception, making firearms have very little threat to them.
However, the Yin Demon Talisman could block the perception of Source Power masters, completely bringing out the power of firearms.
"This thing doesn’t suit you, you’re already frigid, using this thing would make you an asexual being."
Gao Xuan took back the Yin Demon Talisman, saying, "Actually, the most valuable thing is the Dark Web account the Ghost Spear left behind."
Yun Qingshang immediately realized, "We can impersonate the Ghost Spear to continue operating."
"Smart."
Gao Xuan regrettably said, "The sunny boy persona can’t be used anymore, the killer team didn’t even rise to fame and got cut short, it’s quite lamentable."
The Ghost Spear was a veteran assassin with a great reputation, known for recognizing money, not people. He was also frigid, having no friends, no relatives, no lover.
Pretending to be such a person would be quite enjoyable.
In contrast, a suddenly rising strong assassin would attract a lot of suspicion and investigation.
Gao Xuan wasn’t willing to take risks; his legal identity was extremely important. He absolutely couldn’t afford to lose it now.
Anyway, he could use the name of the Ghost Spear whenever doing something wrong. No matter how much they investigate, they can’t track it back to him.
The Ghost Spear’s permissions should allow entry into the seventh layer of the Dark Web. This high-permission ID could save him a lot of time. It would give him the chance to immediately acquire the identity of the Seventh Sage!
The matter of Black Flame must be resolved quickly. Black Flame tracking his identity is troublesome.
Because Black Flame is not a person but an organization. Leaving records in such an organization is not a good thing. Therefore, Black Flame must be resolved quickly.
In this digital age, leaving even a little trace can gradually expose more and more. It won’t be long before the Blood God Association might find its way to him.
The problem was, even the Ghost Spear didn’t know where Black Flame resided; he hadn’t even seen Black Flame, and didn’t know if Black Flame was male or female.
However, as long as he becomes the Seventh Sage, Black Flame wouldn’t be a problem.
Gao Xuan took out the Celestial Net Virtual Port Login Device he robbed and connected it to the Virtual Landing Pod.
Only a high-end device like the landing pod could easily handle complex data information. The exorbitant price of the landing pod was worth it.
Gao Xuan skillfully found the Dark Web entrance and entered the Ghost Spear ID.
As expected, the Ghost Spear ID could directly enter the seventh layer of the Dark Web. There, he downloaded a Starbreaker Ship program.
The Starbreaker Ship was generally used by Celestial Net hackers to break through network defenses. It was a very powerful special program. Just downloading a Starbreaker Ship nearly exhausted the points on the Ghost Spear ID.
A seven-meter-long spindle-shaped sealed flying ship appeared in front of Gao Xuan.
Without hesitation, Gao Xuan activated the flying ship and boarded it, inputting an extremely complex URL into the navigator.
Thanks to his strong Spiritual Power, he could remember such a complex URL.
The flying ship launched, and Gao Xuan instantly plunged into endless darkness.
After drifting in the darkness for dozens of minutes, a glimmer of golden light emerged before Gao Xuan.
The golden light grew stronger and stronger, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into an incomparably magnificent black palace.
The flying ship looked like it was about to enter the airspace above the palace when a dazzling white electric light suddenly struck, causing the flying ship to disintegrate into streams of data light.
Gao Xuan hung suspended in the air, surrounded by flashing arcs of blazing white electric light, forming an enormous electric grid that wrapped around him.
In the next moment, these electric lights would descend, converting Gao Xuan into countless data gibberish.
Gao Xuan knew very well that if he was killed by the protective web, his consciousness wouldn’t die, but he would never be able to enter the Mo Sect’s Hall again. freewёbnoνel.com
This consequence would be very serious.
Before the electric light fell, Gao Xuan called out loudly to the great hall, "Seventh Sage, request entry into the Mo Sect’s Hall!"
