Chapter 342: Chapter 73 Xuan Yue Comes Out_4
"Summon them."
"Your Majesty."
"Go and bring out the nine Men who have been secluded in their practice."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After a while, nine dark figures quietly appeared in the dark room. The ruler looked at the nine men, full of dangerous auras, and couldn’t help but nod satisfied, saying, "You have been practicing diligently for seven years, and I am pleased. I can see that you have made considerable progress. Now that the Prime Killers team has lost many members, from today on, you will officially become the elders of the Assassin’s Guild and be promoted to the Prime Killers team, all under my command." The assassins in the Prime Killers team held a very high status in the Assassin’s Guild, obeying only the President while also being able to command lower-level assassins.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," the nine assassins responded with no sadness or joy.
"Now, there is a mission for you to carry out. Do you still remember when you went to hunt down Hades over seven years ago? You failed that mission. Hades later took a disciple, and although Hades later died under our pursuit, he passed the Sword of Hades to his disciple. This disciple has now become the new Hades, calling himself the Grim Reaper. His killing intent is even stronger than Hades’ was. I have sent out assassins to subdue him four times, but they all died under his sword. A total of seventeen Stealth Killers, eight Eliminators, and two Prime Killers have been lost. From my estimation, his abilities are not below Hades’ were. Now, he is in the territory of the Empire of Sunset City. Your mission is to find him, kill him, and bring the Sword of Hades back to me. After the mission is accomplished, there will be a great reward. For more details, you can ask the Vice President, who I have demoted to an Eliminator due to his repeated failures. Go, I give you three months, do not disappoint me. Also, the organization will provide you with necessary information at any time. Mie Yi will lead this operation."
Upon hearing the word ’Hades’, a strange glow appeared in the eyes of the nine assassins. "Yes, Your Majesty." With a flash, the dark chamber returned to its previous quiet state.
"Grim Reaper? Hmph, I don’t believe I can’t kill you this time. Now it should be time to complete the tasks requested by the nobles." The ruler thought as he continued to harbor the idea of coaxing Ah Dai, but now, the death of his two Prime Killers members had caused him to give up completely. A daunting red glow flashed in his eyes, which silently faded into the darkness.
With a "ping", Ah Dai effortlessly repelled Mie Feng’s attack, and the surging True Qi pushed her back three meters. Stumbling, she managed to steady herself, panting slightly, with a mixed expression of anger and surprise in her eyes. It has been over a year, and she has tried more than a dozen times to assassinate this young man, unable to hurt him at all. To her surprise, each time she met him again, his power had increased, and the distance between them was growing further. He did not harm her every time, just repelled her and let her leave. She questioned herself why her killing intent was fading, and her attacks were getting weaker. Although she intended to go all out today, she had been rejected after only a single challenge, leaving her completely powerless. Why does her mind become chaotic every time she sees him?
Brothers Yan Shi and Zhuo Yun watched the tireless girl from the sidelines, not worried at all. They had long recognized her as one of the original thieves from their guild. After more than a dozen attempts to assassinate Ah Dai, she had no chance of success. They knew that the main reason why Ah Dai never harmed her was due to her icy temperament.
Zhuo Yun couldn’t help but say, "Miss, why bother? You can’t kill Ah Dai, give up."
Mie Feng’s angry eyes blazed, she huffed heavily, turned, and ran. A few flashes later, she disappeared from everyone’s sight. She thought that since she couldn’t kill him now, she had to find a way to improve her skills. Perhaps, the next time they meet, she might have an opportunity. She had left the Thieves Guild for over a year, it was time to return.
Watching Mie Feng’s departure, Ah Dai felt a sense of loss in his heart. He had intent to kill and after a year and a half, the intent had only grown stronger. During this period, he had lost count of how many villains had died by his hand, feeling a certain indescribable excitement each time he killed. This was especially the case when assassins came to test him. He didn’t give them a chance to speak and killed them with the Sword of Hades. Ah Dai, Wang, and Qi Ling had successfully saved fifteen elves, but tragically, except for Zhuo Yun who was lucky, the other fourteen elves had suffered greatly and chosen to die by suicide to cleanse their souls. When a person seeks death wholeheartedly, nobody can stop them. Watching the elves die one by one, Ah Dai became even colder and more ruthless. Every time he saved an elf, he would brutally kill the nobles who had captured them and their accomplices. Then he would leave the word ’Grim Reaper’ on the wall, channeling all of the hatred in his heart towards these dark forces. It seemed only endless killing could make him feel better. Among the nobles of the Empire of Sunset City, the name ’Grim Reaper’ had become a synonym for fear. They feared that they might be the Grim Reaper’s next target, and had become much more cautious. The nobles offered a black market price, promising tens of millions of gold coins to anyone who could kill the Grim Reaper. However, up to now, apart from the Marchioness, no one has survived their encounter with the Grim Reaper. Ah Dai has indeed become the true God of Death.
