Chapter 187: Chapter 131 As Assassins, You Are Very Unprofessional (3)

Although it was to confuse the opponent, always pretending to be weak was, honestly, quite irritating.

Every now and then, one just needed to fully display one’s own strength to feel truly exhilarated.

Moreover, Qin Chu had already amassed a great deal of anger inside him, and the arrival of these people was just timely, allowing him to indulge in a rampage.

Thirteen assassins, Qin Chu hardly took them seriously. He had already put Karlin on the ground while Shaye stayed by Karlin’s side, with Shaye watching over her, no one could hurt Karlin.

As for Qin Chu, he was stretching his hands.

Having not stretched his body to its full extent for a long time made Qin Chu feel a bit stiff all over, his fingers interlocking and snapping with a crackling sound.

Watching Qin Chu who not only did not surrender but seemed to want to resist?

They were all stunned. Was this hero not right in the head?

Could he not see the huge disparity in strength between the two sides? This summoned hero was indeed a fool.

The leader of the assassins knew that it was best not to talk too much with Qin Chu in such a situation, and simply and neatly take action to eliminate Qin Chu, then take his head to report to Lord Lance and collect the reward...

Of course, the woman next to him couldn’t be overlooked either, since the events of this night could not be discovered by anyone.

But, the leader just couldn’t help himself.

He even felt like laughing.

Thinking about it, personally killing a highly esteemed hero was indeed something to be excited about.

"Qin Chu, you wouldn’t think that defeating Horn makes you some kind of expert, would you? Not to mention it was a sneak attack, even if you truly defeated Horn in a duel, what of it?"

"To us, Horn is nothing but trash. Any one of us thirteen could easily defeat Horn. Now, Catherine, and that tall woman, are not by your side. You surely don’t think you alone can contend against us, do you?"

"If you simply knelt and surrendered, maybe you would die a bit more swiftly."

If he could thoroughly humiliate a hero, Lord Lance would be very pleased too.

They were adept fighters meticulously trained by Lord Lance, completely different from trash like Horn. From the beginning, they learned how to end a life swiftly.

With the Crimson Valkyrie and Violet not by Qin Chu’s side, taking his life would be as easy as flipping his hand.

The hero’s strength did indeed increase rapidly, capable of defeating Horn in such a short period of time, enough to prove the hero’s exceptional talent, surpassing anyone in the Sky Dome Continent.

But, his time in the Sky Dome Continent had been too short; this brief period was simply not enough to elevate the hero’s strength to a level where he could contend with them.

Thirteen against one, the advantage is mine.

I don’t feel at all like I could lose.

Qin Chu had finished warming up his limbs and, growing a bit impatient, hooked his fingers: "Why all the prattle? Are you ladies?"

Hiss...

Qin Chu not only showed no fear, but even dared to provoke them directly, clearly infuriating these assassins. Although their faces were obscured by black masks, and their expressions hidden, their eyes nearly all emitted flames of intense fury.

The next second, an assassin’s body suddenly flickered, and abruptly disappeared on the spot.

This was the assassin’s most basic skill—Invisibility.

The smile on Qin Chu’s face grew thicker, his eyes narrowed into slits. Two seconds later, his right hand suddenly stretched out to the side, his fingers curved like talons.

Under the illumination of the streetlight, a silhouette gradually materialized like ripples in water.

It was the very assassin who had just vanished; at this moment, his neck was in Qin Chu’s grasp. With just a slight effort, the assassin’s face instantly twisted in pain and suffocation.

His entire body was lifted high by Qin Chu, his legs frantically flailing in mid-air.

The dagger in his hand was knocked away by Qin Chu in an instant.

Looking up from below into a pair of eyes filled with anger and shock, Qin Chu’s smile intensified: "As assassins, you’re very unprofessional."

The next second, there was a whooshing sound as the lean body was heavily smashed to the ground by Qin Chu.

The earth trembled violently as if it were quaking.

Cracks spread like ripples.

I could seemingly hear the sound of crunching, Assassin One’s body had curled up into a ball, an unknown number of his bones brutally shattered, his mask quickly stained a dark color by the blood spewing from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

"First point, as assassins, you must never underestimate your target, no matter how weak they appear. You must always proceed with caution."

As he said this, Qin Chu leisurely stepped back.

From the front came two sounds of blades tearing through the air, as Assassin Two and Three launched their attacks.

Although both assassins were invisible, Qin Chu could easily discern their positions from the faint outlines in the air.

Stamping forcefully on the ground with his foot, a dirt spike shot up from the earth beneath and instantly pierced through one assassin’s body.

Assassin Two hung on the spike like a piece of cured meat, blood gushing from the pierced area. He hadn’t died completely and was writhing like a worm.

"Second point, as assassins, after you’ve been detected by me, your best option should have been to retreat immediately, not jump out on your own."

The moment the words fell, Qin Chu suddenly turned and stretched out his left hand forward, his palm ablaze with fierce silver Fighting Energy.

With a hiss, the sharp dagger sliced across Qin Chu’s palm, producing a sound much like metal scraping against metal.

Qin Chu’s palm showed no trace of being cut, the silver Fighting Energy had completely blocked the blade, and that was not all. When Qin Chu’s fingers clutched the dagger, the Fighting Energy spread like a venomous snake instantly engulfing it, and then coiling around the body of Assassin Number Three.

Accompanied by a piercing scream, Assassin Number Three was instantly burned to ash, even the precision steel dagger melted into liquid and scattered on the ground, hissing as it did.

"Point three, as assassins, you should never easily become enraged by my provocation. Maintaining absolute rationality is a basic quality for an assassin," Qin Chu said, his voice steady.

He squatted down, placing one hand on the ground.

"The embrace of the earth."

Boom, boom, boom...

The ground beneath his feet roared like an earthquake, and with violent tremors, the earth cracked open, a massive amount of soil and sand bursting forth from beneath the surface.

Whirling fiercely like a tornado in mid-air, it immediately engulfed Assassin Number Four, who had been preparing to shoot a crossbow from afar.

Accompanied by a pitiful scream, the clothes on Assassin Number Four were instantly ripped apart, his body covered with countless tiny, densely packed wounds. Immediately, the swirling sand dragged his corpse and buried it beneath the soil, and the solid road surface returned to its normal appearance as if nothing had ever happened.

"Point four, as assassins, if you must assassinate, then you should unleash your most potent strength in one go, not come at me one by one to meet your death," Qin Chu stated coldly.

There was a deathly silence all around.

The remaining nine assassins, who hadn’t had a chance to react, stood frozen in place, their bodies trembling violently as if electrified.

Their black masks were soaked with sweat that could be clearly seen dripping down near their foreheads.

Their eyes shook violently as well, the pupils filled with a thick, unyielding fear...

This... this is impossible.

In just a few seconds, four brothers had already died at the hands of the Hero.

Each of them possessed strength greater than Horn, and yet, each one was virtually instantaneously slain by the Hero.

When had the Hero’s strength become so formidable?

Magic? They had never heard of the Hero starting to learn Magic, this man should have no Magic Power whatsoever. But now, not only could he use magic, but he could also cast it instantly without even needing a spell.

Fighting Energy... They had also never seen such bizarre, silver Fighting Energy that could even melt metal.

They wanted to scream in fear. Even if the Hero possessed a formidable talent and Power, such a rapid increase in strength was definitely cheating, wasn’t it? Even the First Generation Brave couldn’t have reached this level in such a short amount of time.

Just moments ago, they thought the advantage lay with them.

Just moments ago, they thought it was impossible to lose.

Just moments ago, they were mocking the Hero’s words, and now, each word slapped them in the face, each slap burning painfully.

"Point five, as assassins, before you attempt an assassination, you must absolutely understand the strength of your target," Qin Chu announced, as he stood up, extending his long arms to both sides.

Hum...

Silver light began to burn on Qin Chu’s body.

Dark purple Magic Power also formed a mist that enveloped his body, with countless strange tendrils writhing nonstop like tentacles.

Qin Chu’s aura continued to expand.

The pressure grew stronger, and the air seemed extraordinarily dense.

The nine assassins could only feel as if they were bearing the weight of mountains on their shoulders, their legs trembling nonstop, as if they might kneel at any moment.

They felt that even breathing became a luxury, their hearts beating violently, as if they could burst under this tsunami-like assault at any moment.

No... no... no...

The leader emitted a weird scream, "This is impossible."

Before they made their move, they had carefully assessed Qin Chu’s strength and even considered it might be greater, but at most, it would be Level 65. It couldn’t be higher.

This was already calculated based on the fastest progression rate ever seen on the Sky Dome Continent.

But now, the aura emanating from Qin Chu was still expanding.

Level 70, Level 75?

Centered around Qin Chu’s feet, the ferocious pressure spread wildly, cracking the ground, spreading rapidly to where the assassins stood.

Level 80?

No... this absolutely couldn’t be.

This was a strength only Titled Knights, Martial Gods, Great Sages, and Thief Saints could possess.

Ha ha ha ha... Suddenly, the leader burst into mad laughter, tears and snot streaming down his face.

The laughter gradually turned into a desperate wail!

Prince, what kind of monster are you facing!
