Chapter 2648: Tribute
Zu An was startled. I’ll lose a tenth of my life force if I kill an assassin, and ten assassins placed the Mark of Annihilation on me earlier. Won’t I be dead if I kill all of them?
The abilities of the path of annihilation were downright underhanded. It was fortunate he was learning about them here, or else it would have been worse if he had been caught off guard by a stronger enemy in Dreamland.
Two black figures suddenly flanked him and attacked his vitals. These people were the most elite assassins of this world—they understood their craft and knew how to efficiently kill or incapacitate their target.
Zu An’s expression darkened. He raised his hand and struck the two assassins. The two assassins didn’t have time to react before they collapsed to the ground, dead.
He wasn’t so dumb as to blindly trust the enemy’s words; it would be wiser for him to verify the facts himself.
Soon, however, he felt two-tenths of his life force seeping away. Zhao Yuan wasn’t lying about the Mark of Annihilation’s ability.
The way Zu An effortlessly dispatched the three elite assassins sent a shiver down the spines of the rest. There was a vast disparity in their fighting prowess. Even when buffed by annihilation power, they were still no match for him.
So, they opted for long-range attacks instead, but these tools couldn’t hope to hurt Zu An. He neutralized them with ease, too.
“How can you be so powerful despite having lost half your strength?” Zhao Yuan roared angrily.
He couldn’t make sense of the situation. He'd thought that their annihilation power buff, their numerical superiority, and the Mark of Annihilation debuff were enough for them to rival Zu An. It should have been an easy victory for them. So why is he still making quick work of us?
