Chapter 577: Chapter 577: Dead Shot!

It was clear that because of the incident on Hidden Sword Mountain, Tang Zhong had become a target for assassination.

Domestic assassins knew that their target was Tang Zhong, while international killers, unaware of his identity, believed that some valuable treasure must have appeared under the auspices of such strange phenomena, thus they were after his life to seize this treasure.

In any case, assassins from both home and abroad were now targeting Tang Zhong.

For Tang Zhong, it was no big deal, but it was different for the Tang Family. If the assassins set their sights on them and Tang Zhong didn’t protect them immediately, it would turn into a deadly nightmare for him.

It seemed he couldn’t immediately return to Xuanjing City; he had to deal with all the assassins first.

Since these killers could find him here, others would surely do the same.

What he needed to do now was to lie in wait.

Immediately, Tang Zhong instructed Fang Susu to act as if nothing had happened, while he himself waited alone in the dark night.

As expected, over the course of the night, he encountered more than a dozen assassins, all notorious in the country, but they never knew what killed them before they dropped dead on the ground.

Consequently, that night the bounty on Tang Zhong’s head soared to five million.

And those accepting the job just kept coming.

Internationally, the bounty price remained unchanged, after all, those from abroad hadn’t arrived in Xuan Country yet.

However, Tang Zhong was certain that those after him were not Martial Artists but more likely the tycoons of major conglomerates or people from the underground society. They must have learned about what transpired in the Valley of Hidden Swords and wanted to seize whatever had caused the anomaly there, considering that only a few people knew Tang Zhong had obtained a weapon and defeated the Master of the Valley of Hidden Swords.

Staying with the Fang Family was not a good idea, so Tang Zhong chose to leave.

And he left without hesitation.

But he couldn’t return to the Tang Family yet.

He had to kill all the assassins who were out to get him.

However, he first needed to ensure the safety of his own family.

Right away, he dialed Li Linglong’s number.

Previously, unable to bear watching Tang Zhong and Weiwei’s public display of affection, Li Linglong had specially asked for Tang Zhong’s number.

As soon as the call connected..

"Hello!"

Anxiety laced the voice from the other end of the phone, "Where... Where are you right now? We’re all worried sick!"

"I’m in Lin City," said Tang Zhong.

"Be careful. A lot of assassins are preparing to kill you. You really are something, to have gained such fortune on Hidden Sword Mountain. I’m jealous. But can you tell me what exactly did you get?" asked Li Linglong.

"A stick!" Tang Zhong replied.

He was telling the truth; the Flame Dragon Soldiers were essentially a stick, only wrapped around with a Golden Dragon, making it look quite imposing.

"You’re kidding!" Li Linglong didn’t believe him.

"Really, it is!" Tang Zhong insisted.

"No way! A stick has landed you in such a miserable situation, becoming the target of everyone’s pursuit. You’re really in a bad spot now!" Li Linglong said.

"If you’re truly my brother, help me protect my family. Ensure they don’t get hurt. And Weiwei!" Tang Zhong requested. The assassins were ruthless, and his biggest worry was Jiang Weiwei.

"Don’t worry, I’ve already sent people to protect them," Linglong replied.

"By the way, if Weiwei asks where I am, don’t tell her. Got it? I don’t want her to worry about me. She tends to overthink things!" Tang Zhong said.

"You... you jerk, I’m not going to talk with you anymore. It was bad enough being fed dog food when you two were together, but now you’re doing it even when you’re alone. You’re too much!" Li Linglong roared in frustration.

"Oh, I heard that Dead Shot, the international number one assassin, is also on his way!" Li Linglong suddenly interjected seriously.

Dead Shot!

"Is this person very powerful?" Tang Zhong asked.

"Yes, very. It’s said that he’s an S-rank strongman among assassins. Over in the Tongnan Continent, they’re called Grandmaster, and in the West, where they don’t have Grandmasters, they have Ability Users. S represents a Grandmaster, SS represents a Martial Arts Peak. His marksmanship is incredibly accurate; he can take someone’s head from a thousand miles away. But that’s not his most formidable skill. He has an ability called camouflage that allows him to become invisible, and coupled with his shooting skills, there are few who can withstand him. So you must be careful; he’s known as the top international assassin," explained Li Linglong.

"Got it!" Tang Zhong said.

He then hung up the phone.

Tang Zhong began to roam around Lin City.

If things went as expected, those assassins would converge in Lin City in a very short time.

All he had to do was to wait here to kill them.

At this moment, on a plane flying to Xuan Country— an international flight in first class.

The plane came from the Soviet Union.

The flight was proceeding normally.

Being in first class, the flight attendants were all quite attractive.

One of the flight attendants, with her golden hair, was in the attendants’ resting area.

Due to the long flight, she was resting in the room with her eyes closed.

Suddenly, she felt a noise around her.

It was like there was something there.

The flight attendant got startled.

She looked around and saw nothing, so she tried to go back to sleep.

But then, the noise grew louder, similar to the howling of ghosts and wolves.

Subsequently, her chair began to shake back and forth.

The flight attendant screamed in terror, eyes darting around the room, but she found nothing. Scared, she hurriedly fled the place.

As the plane slowly descended,

at a deserted corner of the airport,

an invisible man appeared, then became fully visible to reveal a black man with a large case on his back.

He had a satisfied look on his face and said, "It’s really nice to toy with others."

He was invisible on the plane, toying with that flight attendant.

"Fun as it is, I’ve got to make money!" The black man, with the case on his back, pulled out a photo, a picture of Hidden Sword Mountain, "Xuan Country is truly a magical land to behold such phenomena. No matter who got the treasure, now that Dead Shot is here, it will soon be mine!"
