Divine-level Base

Shu Feng asked, "Who hired you to kill me?"

Shari replied, "I don’t know. We just accepted a mission from the Slaughter Angel Net. As for the specific client, probably only the founder of the Slaughter Angel Net knows."

Shu Feng asked, "What is the Slaughter Angel Net?"

"The Slaughter Angel Net is one of the three largest assassin networks in the world. We can accept various assassination missions from it. After a successful assassination, we receive a bounty and Contribution Points for the site."

"By continuously completing missions and increasing our site contribution, we can raise our status and privileges within the Slaughter Angel Net. The higher our status and privileges, the higher the level of Cultivation Techniques and other Cultivation Resources we can purchase," Shari explained.

Shu Feng asked, "Who are the strongest on the Slaughter Angel Net?"

"Currently, there are three top assassins on the Slaughter Angel Net: Pitch-Black Hand, Deep Red Eye, and Blood-colored Fang. They might be three individuals, or they might be three teams like us. The greatest achievement of these three organizations is having assassinated a Spirit Venerable Level expert."

"As for how strong they truly are, we don’t know. After all, the way of the Assassin is different from a frontal assault. If one’s abilities are strange enough, a Spirit Master Realm expert can even assassinate a Spirit Sect Realm expert," Shari said.

Shu Feng nodded slightly.

In terms of true strength, ten Sharis would be no match for Shu Feng. Yet, he had still fallen for her scheme. If not for the profound mystery of the Sun and Moon Scripture, he would have already died once.

Shari said with a look of reverence, "The greatest predecessor in the way of the Assassin, Empress Dugu, even managed to poison and kill the Spirit Saint Wen Tianshu while she was only a Spirit Master. She is the greatest Legend in our path."

One hundred and fifty years ago, the Spirit Saint Wen Tianshu held immense power in the Qianyuan Republic. He was the Prime Minister of the Qianyuan Republic, and his authority was so vast that he put pressure on the Royal Luo Family.

The wife of the Qianyuan Republic’s Emperor at the time, Empress Dugu, was incomparably beautiful, a woman whose looks could topple nations, and was known as the number one beauty in the Qianyuan Republic back then. She was ordered to get close to Wen Tianshu, and in the end, she poisoned and killed the Spirit Saint.

The moment Wen Tianshu died, the Qianyuan Republic nearly erupted into civil war. In the end, numerous Noble Families joined forces to act as guarantors. After countless negotiations, the Wen Clan paid a terrible price, had a large portion of its territory stripped away, and was demoted to the rank of a Seventh-Grade Noble Family, only barely managing to survive.

Because of this, Empress Dugu became an object of worship for countless Assassins. After all, she was the first person to have assassinated a Spirit Saint while at the Spirit Master Realm.

Experts at the Spirit Sect Realm already possess a terrifying Spiritual Sense. The moment an Assassin harbors killing intent, they will sense it. It’s impossible to imagine how much stronger the Spiritual Sense of a Spirit Saint Level expert must be.

Back then, Wen Tianshu was one of the most powerful Spirit Saints on Blue Star, a terrifying existence who was invincible among his peers. If Empress Dugu hadn’t poisoned him, he very well might have enabled the Wen Clan to replace the Luo Family and become the new Royal Family of the Qianyuan Republic.

Shu Feng asked, "Where are the other three members of the Black Cheetah? Can you contact them?"

Shari replied, "The Demon Leopard Boss’s movements are erratic. The other two are in the Leiyin Republic. As soon as I’m in the Leiyin Republic, I can contact them."

Shu Feng smiled slightly. "Very good. Go contact them, keep them calm, and arrange a meeting."

Looking at Shu Feng’s smile, Shari felt as if she were watching a Demon smile. Her heart desperately wanted to refuse, but her body respectfully replied, "Yes, Master!"

As soon as the plane landed in the capital of the Leiyin Republic, Shu Feng’s group, led by Cao Zhen, checked into a five-star hotel.

「That night.」

Inside the Crazy Dragon and Sea Wave Bar, deafening music blared. On the dance floor, scantily-clad bombshells were dancing wildly.

"This bar is full of gorgeous babes. What’s taking Shari so long? If she doesn’t get here soon, I’m gonna go have some fun with them."

Janis sat in a luxurious crystal booth, a lecherous glint in his eyes as he licked his lips and watched the girls dancing wildly on the floor outside.

Robin said coolly, "Janis, this is exactly why Shari doesn’t give you the time of day."

Janis sighed forlornly. "The one Shari likes is the boss. As long as the boss is around, she’ll never look my way. Besides, I can’t compete with him at all."

Just then, Shari walked into the crystal booth with a man wearing a skull mask.

Robin frowned slightly. "Shari, who is he?"

"I’m her master!"

The young man in the skull mask suddenly pulled it off, revealing Shu Feng’s bright, sunny smile.

"Shu Feng!"

The moment Janis saw Shu Feng, his face paled. His right hand moved as fast as lightning, reaching for his waist.

A vicious glint flashed in Robin’s eyes. He pointed at Shu Feng, and runes appeared on a red ring on his right hand. A Fireball shot out like a cannonball, blasting fiercely toward Shu Feng.

The power of the First-level Magic, the Fireball Technique, was terrifying. A single shot could blast through a car door, something even a Spirit Master Level expert would struggle to block.

"Mages are truly extraordinary. Too bad you aimed at the wrong target!"

Shu Feng sneered. The Fireball passed straight through his body and slammed into the glass wall.

BOOM!

With a loud crash, countless shards of glass flew in all directions.

Screams instantly echoed throughout the bar as countless men and women fled frantically toward the exit.

’Damn it, I’ve been caught in an Illusion Technique!’

A chill ran through Robin’s heart as a large hand reached out from behind him and clamped down on his neck.

Just then, a black necklace on Robin’s chest pulsed with a faint black glow. A Sleep Spell activated and shot toward Shu Feng behind him, striking him squarely.

A wave of fatigue washed over Shu Feng, but then the Divinity within him trembled slightly, and the feeling of tiredness vanished instantly.

’Mages are certainly tricky! But unfortunately for you, I’m your opponent!’

Shu Feng smiled calmly. With a casual squeeze, he sent a surge of Spiritual Power into Robin, knocking him unconscious.

"Die!"

Janis frantically channeled his Spiritual Power and opened fire on Shu Feng.

A spray of Spiritual Power-infused Armor-Piercing Bullets whizzed past Shu Feng, blasting large holes in the nearby wall.

"Stay still!"

Shu Feng lunged forward and viciously slammed a Great Sun Palm into Janis’s body.

BANG!

Like a broken doll, Janis was thrown hard against the wall. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his ribs broken in countless places, leaving him on the verge of death.

’Oh, I almost killed him! I didn’t realize I’d gotten this strong!’

Shu Feng watched the barely-breathing Janis, a slight smile playing on his lips.
