Chapter 133: A Fate Worse Than Death

Chapter 133: Chapter 133: A Fate Worse Than Death

The full moon hung in the sky, its pure light pouring down, bathing the mortal world below.

For many, on such a night of splendid moonlight, sleep was elusive!

At the top of Yunfeng Summit in the provincial capital, on the rooftop of a building.

Qin Chuan sat cross-legged, practicing the Great Mysterious True Scripture. Faint halos of golden light enveloped him, and under the moon’s glow, he appeared extraordinarily majestic, like an immortal exiled from heaven.

Ever since he learned that Zhao Ling’er had escaped from Kunlun Divine Prison and was likely still alive in the world, he was eager to recover all his profound strength.

Just then, he suddenly opened his eyes, a chill flashing within.

"Come out!"

He stood up, walked to the edge of the villa’s roof, and shouted loudly towards the space below.

Indeed, the moment his words fell, an Assassin in Green Clothes emerged from the darkness.

The full moon brightly illuminated the entire courtyard at the summit of Yunfeng.

Qin Chuan tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and, like a falling leaf, descended from the sky.

Seeing this, the Assassin in Green Clothes’ dark eyes took on a more solemn hue.

Qin Chuan, with his hands behind his back, coldly eyed the other party and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am the one who will kill you!"

The Assassin in Green Clothes’ eyes burst with intense murderous intent, and with a step, he charged straight at Qin Chuan.

In his hand, he held a short dagger gleaming with a cold light, which he thrust quickly towards Qin Chuan’s heart.

Qin Chuan showed no intention of dodging, standing in place as if waiting for the Assassin in Green Clothes to come and kill him.

"Hmph!"

The Assassin in Green Clothes sneered, "Turns out to be all show and no substance. This hundred million will be an easy score."

In his eyes, Qin Chuan seemed completely petrified with fear, even forgetting to dodge.

"Kid, go to hell!"

As the dagger was about to pierce Qin Chuan’s heart, the Assassin in Green Clothes shouted and thrust the dagger even faster.

Just when he was smugly confident, Qin Chuan, who had not reacted at all up to this point, suddenly moved!

In a flash of lightning, Qin Chuan extended two fingers, precisely clamping the dagger.

The Assassin in Green Clothes’ face changed drastically as a bone-chilling terror surged from his feet to his Heaven Spirit Cover.

Only at this moment did he realize that the young man before him was no mere showpiece, but a formidable Grandmaster Expert.

Otherwise, how could he have clamped his dagger between two fingers?

Despite using all his strength, he found the dagger wouldn’t budge.

"Clang!"

Just then, a clear sound of metal breaking rang out, and the dagger snapped into two pieces.

"What?"

The Assassin in Green Clothes’ face showed terror.

The dagger, forged from a Meteorite from Beyond the Heavens at great expense, was exceptionally hard and far superior to the high-tech alloys available on the market.

Yet now, this young man in front of him had snapped the extraordinarily hard dagger using just two fingers.

"A hundred million? Is that the reward for killing me?"

Qin Chuan had heard the mention of a hundred million from his opponent’s lips and guessed the identity of the assassin.

Indeed, the face of the Assassin in Green Clothes paled, his eyes flashing sharply, as he gritted his teeth and said, "What are you talking about? I don’t understand!"

The moment his words ended, he let go of the broken dagger and clenched his left fist, striking out with all his might towards Qin Chuan.

"Hmph!"

Qin Chuan sneered. Even now, to dare attempt an assassination was sheer folly.

His fist was faster, striking the chest of the Assassin in Green Clothes in an instant.

"Boom!"

A loud crash resounded, and as if he were a kite with its string cut, the Assassin in Green Clothes spewed out a mouthful of blood and flew more than a dozen meters away before heavily crashing to the ground. Then, another mouthful of blood sprayed out.

Fear filled his pupils, and with a face of utter despair, he looked at Qin Chuan and said, "How could you possibly be this strong?"

He himself was an Energizing Skill Initial Stage Realm expert, yet from the moment they engaged in combat, he hadn’t gained the smallest advantage and was instead seriously injured by Qin Chuan’s seemingly casual attack.

How could such a young Energizing Skill Grandmaster exist in this world?

"Thud thud thud!"

At that moment, Qin Chuan had already walked over and swiftly pressed his hand on the opponent’s chest several times.

"What have you done to me?"

The color drained from the face of the Assassin in Green Clothes. Just as he had prepared to end his own life, after Qin Chuan had pressed on him a few times, he no longer had any strength left.

Qin Chuan said indifferently, "Who are you? And why do you want to kill me? Is the bounty for my head ten hundred million?"

Not giving the Assassin in Green Clothes a chance to speak, Qin Chuan continued, "If you don’t spill everything I want to know within ten seconds, you will surely regret it!"

The Assassin in Green Clothes snorted with a cold laugh, "You think you can make me talk just because you’ve controlled me? I’d advise you not to waste your effort in vain. Since the mission has failed, you might as well kill me!"

Qin Chuan gave him a cold glance, "You have five seconds left."

"Heh heh!"

The look on the Assassin in Green Clothes was one of disdain.

As an assassin, he had long since put life and death out of his mind. A failed mission meant certain death.

If it weren’t for Qin Chuan taking away his strength just now, he would have already taken his own life.

If he wasn’t afraid to die, how could he possibly fear Qin Chuan’s threats?

Just ten short seconds, and you think I would give in?

In your dreams!

Just as the Assassin in Green Clothes had closed his eyes, resigned to his fate, he suddenly opened them wide, his face twisted in agony.

"What have you done to me?"

Fear was written all over his eyes.

At this moment, his body itched unbearably; it felt as if countless ants were scurrying around inside him.

He wanted to reach out and scratch but found that he couldn’t even muster the strength to lift his hand.

Only at this moment did he realize what Qin Chuan meant by making him regret it after ten seconds.

Qin Chuan watched coolly, his face expressionless, "This is just the beginning. With each passing second, the unbearable itching will only intensify."

"Ahh..."

Indeed, as soon as Qin Chuan’s words fell, the itching sensation afflicting the Assassin in Green Clothes intensified even more. Unable to bear it, he roared out, his face filled with terror, "Kill me! Quickly, kill me! I beg you, just kill me!"

Being restrained and itching all over was a fate worse than death for him.

He, a Grandmaster Expert of the Energizing Skill, revered wherever he went, had thought himself lucky to have landed a simple low-level mission. Yet, he hadn’t expected this mission to be anything but simple; it was more like the difficulty of hell itself.

"I’ll talk, I’ll tell you everything! Just please make it stop..."

The Assassin in Green Clothes completely broke down, bellowing loudly.

"Snap!"

Qin Chuan snapped his fingers, and to the Assassin in Green Clothes’ shock, the itching sensation disappeared instantly as if it had never been there.

"Don’t even think of suicide, unless you are certain you can die, otherwise you will have to experience what just happened all over again," Qin Chuan said emotionlessly, seemingly seeing through the man’s thoughts. "But if it happens again, it will only be the beginning, with no end!"

The Assassin in Green Clothes shivered involuntarily. He would rather die than experience that sensation again.

"Ask away. I’ll tell you everything!"
