Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Sword King and the King of Assassins

Xiao Zheng walked into the room and looked inside. There, a person sat in a high-backed chair, a bitter smile on his face as he said, "I never expected you to actually fight your way in."

At this moment, the Seven Killings Leader also entered, shooting Xiao Zheng a fierce glare before respectfully bowing to the man and saying, "Boss, I’ve failed in my duties, allowing him to break through."

"It’s alright."

The man waved his hand and said, "Standing before you is the terror of Zhonghai back in the day, the monster of youth. It’s normal that you couldn’t beat him. Haha, Mr. Xiao, you have successfully reached me, so now you can call over your two friends, right?"

He pointed to two screens in the room.

On one screen was Long Qie, while the other showed Titan.

At that moment, Long Qie was on a killing spree on the third floor, not knowing where he had snatched a thick-backed battle saber, its blade covered in fresh blood; with each swing, someone would fall to his blade.

The attacks from Titan were even more domineering, combining fists and feet. With each strike, his opponents either had their heads burst or limbs torn, a horrendously bloody scene with blood spraying everywhere.

"Hehe, as long as you’re willing to talk, calling them back is also possible," Xiao Zheng said, smiling as he found a sofa to sit down on.

"At this point, dare I not talk to you?" the boss replied with a bitter smile.

In reality, the boss, having stayed on this underground level, was already aware of their presence the moment Xiao Zheng and the others had walked in. At first, when Xiao Zheng asked the Seven Killings Leader to reveal the identities of the two assassins, he didn’t care, believing that with the power of Seven Killings, these three people, no matter how formidable, couldn’t cause any significant trouble.

However, what happened next was beyond his expectations. Xiao Zheng and his companions were too strong, and none among the Seven Killings could stop them. Whether they were assassins or archers, none could withstand a single round against the three of them, they all fell into defeat and death.

The boss in the room, watching those bloody scenes through the surveillance screens, was terrified, his heart pounding with fear.

When Xiao Zheng brought down that steel behemoth of a door, the boss’s heart almost leaped out, engulfed by an intense fear that pervaded every inch of his body!

In that moment, the boss decided to submit.

There was no other choice but submission.

Otherwise, the entire organization of Seven Killings would be destroyed.

Seeing that the boss had already softened, Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Good, you should have means to contact them here, right?"

The boss took out a miniature microphone and threw it to Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng caught it and spoke into the mic, "Long Qie, Titan, both of you come down to the first underground level. The matter has been resolved; there’s no need for further killing."

Suddenly, Xiao Zheng’s voice resonated on the third and second floors.

Both Long Qie and Titan heard it clearly, simultaneously smiled, let go of their opponents, and walked down, making their way to the room at the end of the corridor on the first underground level.

"Mr. Xiao."

Both men bowed to Xiao Zheng.

"Please, take a seat."

The Seven Killings Boss gestured with a wave of his hand, smiling.

Xiao Zheng, upon seeing this, smiled and said, "Boss, you’re quite composed!"

If it were an ordinary person, they would be either exposed or fear-stricken under such circumstances, but this boss was collected, only the bitter smile at the corner of his mouth revealing a bit of his mindset.

"There’s no helping it," the boss sighed deeply. "One moment of error, an incorrect decision, and it has cost my Seven Killings dearly."

Xiao Zheng laughed heartily, "Don’t worry, as long as you tell me the identities of those two assassins, I won’t trouble Seven Killings ever again."

The boss pulled open the drawer next to his chair and took out two slips of paper, handing them to the Seven Killings Leader. The Seven Killings Leader took them, walked up to Xiao Zheng, bent down, and respectfully presented the two slips of paper.

This leader of Seven Killings harbored an extreme hatred for Xiao Zheng, since Xiao Zheng and his two companions had slaughtered so many members of Seven Killings. But they were too powerful, and although he was seething with rage inside, he could only bear it and had to put on a respectful demeanor.

"If you had brought out these two slips of paper earlier, things wouldn’t have needed to be so troublesome," said Xiao Zheng as he took the slips of paper and let out a helpless sigh.

The Seven Killings Boss and the Seven Killings Leader both smiled wryly.

How could they have known that three monsters would come to Seven Killings today!

Xiao Zheng looked down at the slips. On them were written two names: "Beihai Demon Blade—Yao Wuji," and "Desert’s Number One Assassin—Hong Halan."

"Them?"

Xiao Zheng’s brow furrowed slightly.

The reputations of these two individuals were familiar to him; they were quite famous in the jianghu. Yao Wuji was an infamous Sword King whose blade work was incredibly exquisite! And that Hong Halan, the Desert’s Number One Assassin, moved undetected throughout Huaxia, with countless souls perishing at his hands.

The Southeast Asian assassin ranked third, Killing Emperor, who had previously attempted to assassinate Xiao Zheng, was like a child compared to Hong Halan.

"Who’s the sponsor?" Xiao Zheng immediately asked.

"That we do not know," replied the Seven Killings Boss, shaking his head. "But his offer was generous. Hua Futen and Qing Linfeng, the price for each of their heads was one hundred million dollars. Such an enormous sum convinced these two legendary assassins to take the job."

"Hmm," murmured Xiao Zheng, not asking further.

If it really was Mr. Liu, he definitely wouldn’t leave any clues, so asking this boss was pointless.

"Two birds with one stone then. Since these assassins are partners of Seven Killings, surely you must know where they can be found?" Xiao Zheng said with a faint smile.

"This..."

The Seven Killings Boss hesitated.

Disclosing the information of an assassin was bad enough, but revealing their whereabouts could mean that no assassin would dare to collaborate with Seven Killings in the future.

With his head bowed in thought, the Seven Killings Boss suddenly looked up at Xiao Zheng. Xiao Zheng appeared calm, but there was a faintly discernible sharp glint flickering deep within his eyes.

A shock went through the Seven Killings Boss!

If he refused here, the consequences would be more than they could bear!

"These two are considered friends, and ever since they completed the job, they’ve been gambling in the black market casino." The Seven Killings Boss no longer hesitated, "If I’m not mistaken, they should be at the casino right now."

"Which casino?"

"Golden Casino, at the end of the street in the valley’s bottom, inside the largest building there."

"Good," Xiao Zheng stood up and started to walk out, "You guessed correctly."

Watching the figures of Xiao Zheng and his companions walking away, the Seven Killings Boss let out a sigh of relief. He then smiled bitterly to himself. Being in the business of killing, one incurs the wrath of both the heavens and people—it indeed brings retribution.

He didn’t know how many had died under the orders issued by Seven Killings; now, all that retribution had come back. After this battle, Seven Killings was nearly ruined!
