CHAPTER 126: CHAPTER 126, KILLING THE ASSASSIN_1

The Sakura Alliance Envoy looked at Black Phoenix. "I don’t want to see any large-scale battles. You’re Black Phoenix, right? Why have you come to the Sakura Alliance to fight?"

Black Phoenix explained, "I didn’t come here looking for trouble. I just wanted to enter the Dark Zone to upgrade my Level, but they sealed the entrance, keeping us outside."

"As a Hero of the Alliance of All-Gods, it’s my duty to slay Dark Creatures."

The Sakura Alliance Envoy turned to the Sakura Alliance members and demanded, "Why Seal the passage?"

"We were afraid that monsters from the Dark Zone might surge out, so we sealed the passage."

"Idiots! When monsters break through, that’s exactly the time for you Heroes to show your Strength. Do you intend to Seal all the cracks and not upgrade your powers? Open the passage immediately."

"Yes."

"One more thing, I don’t want to see large-scale battles, especially not within our Sakura Alliance. That’s the rule. If you want to fight, go to the Dark Zone. It doesn’t matter how many die there. Understand?"

"Yes."

Black Phoenix said, "Three Union Corps Army Leader, Three Union Corps Deputy Army Leader, if you want to fight, the Black Dragon Legion is ready anytime. If you dare, meet us in the Dark Zone."

After saying this, Black Phoenix led her group inside.

Ruo Li whispered, "I wonder how Junior is doing. It’s been seven days... I don’t know if he’s dead or alive. That guy never brings food with him."

"No worries. A Hero’s constitution is strong; he won’t die that easily."

"I hope so. Spending the night in the wild is dangerous, especially since rest is needed to recover stamina..."

As they entered, they saw a white tent.

The crowd stared in disbelief.

Hmph, we were out there about to fight to the death, and you two are in here fooling around?

They had assumed Jiang Chen and his companion would be lying on the ground, gasping for breath, more dead than alive. But here they were, clearly having a good time inside.

They even had a tent ready.

This wasn’t what we expected at all!

Especially Ruo Li, who was dumbfounded.

Black Phoenix said, "As long as you’re fine."

After saying that, she turned and left.

The others laughed heartily.

"This big shot is really something else!"

"They even have a tent! Looks like they were really well-prepared."

"Not just well-prepared, this is what makes it interesting! I bet they even have Durex condoms ready, hehe... I’ll have to try this myself in the future."

"Haha... Jiang Chen is truly Jiang Chen, to have even thought of this. Give them a year, and they’ll probably announce a baby!"

"So thrilling! Yeah, I’m going to try it next time too."

"Let’s go, don’t disturb their good time."

Ruo Li, unable to stomach it, walked towards the tent.

Jiang Chen quickly got up and straightened his clothes.

"What’s up?"

"Someone’s coming."

"Did they open the crack?"

"Seems that way."

Jiang Chen got up and walked out of the tent, only to see Ruo Li approaching with a dark expression. Jiang Chen was startled, then smiled and said, "Isn’t that Senior Sister? Haven’t seen you in days. Senior Sister, you’re getting more beautiful."

Jiang Chen spread his arms for a big hug.

Ruo Li neatly dodged it.

She chuckled, "Yeah, right. We were about to have a huge fight outside, and you’re in here, comfortably doing ’exercise.’ I didn’t realize you were so thoroughly prepared."

"I didn’t expect them to close the passage. No wonder the magpies were chirping on the branches this morning; I knew Senior Sister was coming."

Is he that bad at lying? What magpies are there in this Different Worlds?

Angelina emerged from the tent and smiled, "Senior Sister."

"Alright, as long as you’re okay. I just came to check. I’m leaving."

Ruo Li left briskly.

Jiang Chen was puzzled. Her temper didn’t seem like Senior Sister’s at all.

Ruo Li turned back and said, "It’s all good now. The Divine Gods have issued an order; the passage won’t be Sealed again, and you can continue to upgrade your Levels."

Angelina watched Ruo Li’s retreating figure. "Senior Sister Ruo Li likes you too."

"Give it a rest. She and Black Phoenix are quite close. Besides, we just like to joke around. You’re overthinking it."

"Not at all. I’m a woman; I can feel it. She likes Black Phoenix, and she likes you too. There’s no contradiction in that."

"How can one person fall in love with two people?"

"Why not?"

"Pack up, pack up. Let’s continue to level up."

"Mhm."

「Outside the rift.」

Black Phoenix watched Ruo Li emerge. "You’re just looking for trouble. Why did you go in?"

"I just wanted to observe the battlefield. Who knew Junior would discover me? Such a perfect opportunity, missed just like that."

What a waste, Ruo Li lamented inwardly.

"Let’s go. If you want to observe in the future, I’ll find you a chance to watch to your heart’s content."

"Really?"

"Of course. Though you probably won’t like it."

"That might not necessarily be the case..."

After the passage opened, large groups of people entered, most of them from the Sakura Alliance. They were all below First-stage, coming to gain experience.

Jiang Chen and Angelina continued to delve deeper, hunting monsters.

Members of the Three Union Corps gathered.

"Damn it, that kid got away!"

"It was the Divine Gods’ command; we had no choice."

"The Divine Gods just said we can’t deal with him outside, but we *can* deal with him inside."

"Right. We just need to go in there. Once in the Different Worlds, we can kill Jiang Chen, and they won’t be able to do anything."

"But that kid is pretty strong."

"Hmph, he’s just Level thirty. We’ve all completed our First-stage advancement. Are we still afraid of that kid?"

"We’ll just send a few assassins to take him down."

「An hour later...」

Just as Jiang Chen was killing monsters, he sensed five people approaching from behind. Jiang Chen clearly identified them as having the Occupation of an Assassin, using a Stealth skill to hide themselves.

They’re here already? I didn’t go looking for trouble with you, yet you deliver yourselves to my doorstep. This couldn’t be better. In that case, I’ll just kill you all.

Jiang Chen initially didn’t want to stoop to their level, but they clearly had no intention of letting him go.

Jiang Chen turned and stared into the distance.

The Nameless Assassins immediately stopped. Assassins specialized in stealthy kills, taking out targets silently; they were the Krypton Star of Magicians and Priests.

The five assassins saw Jiang Chen staring at them.

They immediately froze, holding their breath.

They gripped their Daggers tightly.

At that moment, the five were secretly shocked. Have we been discovered? Impossible! Isn’t he a Swordsman? How could he detect hidden assassins?

Angelina asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Want to see a performance?"

"What performance?"

"Blood raining from mid-air."

SLASH!

Without hesitation, Jiang Chen thrust his sword into the air. Suddenly, a figure was revealed. The assassin was split in two, killed instantly by Jiang Chen’s blow.

Angelina exclaimed, "Assassins? How?!"

"And not just one."

The other four figures, seeing their companion killed, quickly charged towards Jiang Chen, hoping to take him down with their speed. But to their disappointment, they were met with Sword Qi.

Dozens of Sword Auras instantly penetrated three of them, while another Sword Aura severed the fourth assassin’s arm.

The injured assassin screamed in agony.

Lying on the ground, he looked at Jiang Chen in terror.

How could this happen? What exactly is his Occupation? Why is his Offensive Power so formidable?

All five of them were First-stage Ninjas, with Levels as high as sixty, much higher than Jiang Chen. Yet, they still couldn’t withstand his attacks.

They were killed in an instant.
