In a certain city in the Golden Guan Nation, Bloodshed Tower.
Bloodshed Tower was a very famous assassin organization in the north. It was said that this assassin organization had a powerful backer, and no one dared to touch Bloodshed Tower.
As long as you could pay the price, Bloodshed Tower would do everything in their power to complete your mission.
Today, a white-haired old man entered Bloodshed Tower.
"Mister, do you need anything?" A staff member saw the white-haired old man walk over and asked in a low voice.
"I have already made an appointment with Elder Xue." The white-haired old man said.
"Alright, please follow me."
After a while, the staff member brought the white-haired old man into Elder Xue's room and left.
"Grandmaster Luo He, you have come." Elder Xue saw Luo He and smiled.
"Elder Xue, I want to kill someone." Luo He said in a low voice with an ugly expression.
"Oh, who?" Elder Xue was confused. He did not know who Luo He wanted to kill.
"Jian Zhou City, a disciple of the Reverence Sword Sect." Luo He said coldly. When he thought of Fang Chen, his heart was filled with anger.
Because Fang Chen had always been in the Reverence Sword Sect, Luo He did not want to do it himself. He could only come to Bloodshed Tower to find an assassin.
"Disciple of the Reverence Sword Sect, Fang Chen." Elder Xue said.
After a while, Elder Xue found Fang Chen's information. According to the information, Fang Chen was an outer disciple of the Reverence Sword Sect. His strength was comparable to the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm.
After reading Fang Chen's information, Elder Xue nodded and said, "Killing this disciple is not difficult. A hundred thousand upper grade spirit stones will suffice."
Hua la
Luo He took out a hundred thousand upper grade spirit stones and gave them to Elder Xue. As a Grandmaster Blacksmith, no one knew how much wealth he had. A hundred thousand upper grade spirit stones was just a drop in the ocean for Luo He.
"Great, Grandmaster Luo He. Just wait for the good news from Bloodshed Tower." Elder Xue took the hundred thousand upper grade spirit stones and laughed loudly.
Luo He nodded. Bloodshed Tower's golden name, he naturally believed that as long as Bloodshed Tower accepted the mission, Fang Chen would definitely die.
After Luo He left, Elder Xue began to arrange for assassins to head to Sword State City in the central region to assassinate Fang Chen.
After a round of selection, Elder Xue selected an assassin and began contacting him.
In a certain danger zone in the north, a black-robed man with a face full of vicissitudes was cultivating in the danger zone. Suddenly, his communication jade pendant vibrated.
"En."
After taking out his communication jade pendant, this black-robed man discovered that it was Elder Xue of Bloodshed Tower contacting him.
When he received the news from Elder Xue, a sinister smile appeared on his face. "I picked up such a cheap task. Hahaha."
"A disciple of the Reverence Sword Sect who is at the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm. Although it is difficult to assassinate him in the Reverence Sword Sect, it is not a problem for me, Gu Lang." Thinking of the fifty thousand Upper Rank Spirit Stones, Gu Lang was very happy.
For assassins like him, as long as there was enough money, they would do anything to complete the mission.
According to Gu Lang's information, Fang Chen was only a warrior at the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm. Even if Gu Lang were to fight him head-on, he would be able to kill him in an instant, not to mention the assassins from the Blood Blade Tower who were all ambushing him.
Soon after, Gu Lang left the danger zone and headed to Sword State City in the central region.
Three days later, Gu Lang arrived at the outskirts of Sword State City. Looking at the majestic Sword State City, Gu Lang's heart was filled with shock.
"One day, I will enter the central region as a king." Gu Lang thought to himself.
He, Gu Lang, had the power to enter the central region, but he had stayed in the north because he wanted to earn enough Spirit Stones from Bloodshed Tower.
As long as he had enough Spirit Stones, his cultivation would increase. In this world, power was the most important thing.
"Fang Chen, you are dead."
Gu Lang said softly and entered Sword State City.
At this moment, Gu Lang was like an ordinary person. No one would associate him with Bloodshed Tower.
After entering Sword State City, Gu Lang first found an inn and drank some wine. This was Gu Lang's habit. Every time before he killed someone, he would drink some wine.
After drinking, Gu Lang left the inn and went to the Reverence Sword Peak.
Looking at the Reverence Sword Peak, Gu Lang went inside. It was broad daylight now. What Gu Lang wanted to do was to enter the Reverence Sword Peak and check out the situation in the Reverence Sword Sect.
If possible, he wanted to sneak into the Reverence Sword Sect and kill Fang Chen silently.
Time trickled by, and in the blink of an eye, it was already night time. Gu Lang's silhouette flickered as he jumped down from a large tree. At this moment, he was clad in a white robe, swaggering into the Sword Reverence Sect.
When he arrived at the mountain gate of the Reverence Sword Sect, he was stopped by two disciples guarding the gate. But after the two disciples confirmed Gu Lang's identity, they let him in.
"So it's Senior Brother Gu Yun." The two disciples laughed when they saw Gu Lang's face.
Gu Lang nodded and entered the Reverence Sword Sect without making a sound.
'So that guy's name is Gu Yun.' Gu Lang thought.
During the day, Lone Wolf came across an Outer Sect disciple from the Sword Reverence Sect. Lone Wolf killed him, changed into his clothes, and used his unique technique to remove the skin from the disciple's face and place it on his own.
His unique technique was very powerful and flawless. Moreover, it was late at night, so the guards didn't notice anything.
After entering the Reverence Sword Sect, Gu Lang went straight to Fang Chen's courtyard. During the day, he learned from Gu Yun about Fang Chen's courtyard and the geography of the Reverence Sword Sect's outer sect.
Gu Lang arrived at Fang Chen's courtyard with ease. He glanced around before entering.
At this time, the moonlight shone on the ground, illuminating the entire courtyard. In the center of the courtyard, Fang Chen's eyes were closed as he cultivated.
Gu Lang's arrival disturbed Fang Chen's cultivation. Fang Chen opened his eyes.
"Senior Brother Fang Chen." Gu Lang saw Fang Chen open his eyes and smiled.
"Gu Yun." Fang Chen naturally recognized Gu Yun and asked in a low voice.
"Senior Brother Fang Chen, I'm sorry to disturb you so late at night. But I've reached a bottleneck in my cultivation and would like to consult Senior Brother Fang Chen." Gu Lang said as he walked in front of Fang Chen.
Fang Chen nodded and said, "If you have any questions, feel free to ask."
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Gu Lang's face revealed a trace of joy. He then approached Fang Chen and said, "Senior Brother Fang Chen, I want your life."
Just as Gu Lang finished speaking, a blood-red sharp blade appeared in his hand. This sharp blade directly pierced towards Fang Chen.
Fang Chen seemed to be prepared. His figure flashed and directly dodged Gu Lang's sharp blade attack.
"Indeed, there's a problem." Fang Chen looked at Gu Lang and said coldly.
The moment Gu Lang entered the courtyard, Fang Chen felt that there was a problem. This was because he felt a faint killing intent from Gu Lang's body.
This kind of killing intent could only be obtained after countless life and death situations. Obviously, the disciples of the Sword Worshipping Sect would not have this kind of killing intent.
Therefore, Fang Chen concluded that this person was not Gu Yun.
"I've underestimated you."
Seeing that Fang Chen had dodged, Gu Lang stretched out his hand and tore off the human skin mask on his face, revealing his ferocious face as he laughed.
"But even so, you still have to die." Gu Lang's cold voice rang out.
"Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?" asked Fang Chen.
"A dead person doesn't need to know that much."
Gu Lang coldly snorted. He wanted to end this battle quickly. After all, this was the Sword Worshipping Sect. Once the higher-ups were alerted, it would be extremely difficult for him to escape.
Swish!
Gu Lang's blood-red blade fiercely swung towards Fang Chen. Immediately, a majestic red light surged out of the blade.
Fang Chen narrowed his eyes. Looking at Gu Lang, killing intent shot out of his eyes. The Hidden Star Sword appeared in his hand, and he instantly used the seventh level of the Water Fire Sword Art.
Swish!
A majestic sword-light instantly collided with the sharp blade, causing it to stop in mid-air.
Immediately after, Fang Chen's Hidden Star Sword fiercely slashed at the blood-red blade. With a cracking sound, the blade was actually cut in half by the Hidden Star Sword.
"Hmm."
Seeing this scene, Gu Lang's pupils shrank and his body kept retreating.
However, Fang Chen would not give him the chance to escape. He once again used the sixth level of the Water Fire Sword Art. The majestic sword light directly attacked Gu Lang's body.
Bang
Gu Lang's body was immediately sent flying and fell to the ground.
"Damn it, the information was wrong."
In that instant, Gu Lang concluded that Fang Chen's strength was definitely above the Early Stage of the Qi Hai Realm.
"Let's go."
Gu Lang did not want to continue the battle and prepared to escape.
But before he could step out of Fang Chen's courtyard, he was stabbed in the back by the sword light of the Water Fire Sword. His body instantly stopped moving.
"Ah!"
Gu Lang let out a blood-curdling scream. He slowly turned around and glanced at Fang Chen. His eyes were filled with unwillingness.
Bang
Gu Lang's body fell to the ground and lost all signs of life.
Fang Chen checked Gu Lang's body, but did not find anything that could prove his identity. Finally, Fang Chen picked up Gu Lang's interspatial ring, but he found that there was nothing inside.
Little did they know that every time Lone Wolf did a mission, he would put his wealth in another spatial ring and hide it in a hidden place, just in case.
In the northern part of the Bloodshed Tower, the lights were brightly lit. In Elder Xue's room, a broken jade strip was placed in front of him.
"Gu Lang is dead." Elder Xue said in disbelief.
"The information was wrong. Could it be that Fang Chen's strength is stronger than Gu Lang's?" Elder Xue said to himself.
Before Gu Lang died, he sent back a message. There were only four words, "The information was wrong."
Based on these four words, Elder Xue judged that the target's strength should be stronger than Gu Lang's.
"Damn it."
