228: First attempt

Han Dongxu was in a very bad mood, not just because he might turn into an irrational monster at any moment.

Another reason was that he inexplicably felt a sense of being watched today.

This feeling was very unpleasant, like being targeted by a wolf in the wild, constantly facing the danger of being pounced upon and killed.

But thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem very likely.

Before merging with Demonic Power, he was already the strongest person in this area, and after the merger, he was even more invincible; he would simply kill anyone who made him slightly unhappy.

This contradictory feeling made him even more irritable, yet he couldn't find the source.

Therefore, he came to the hunting ground, wanting to release the pent-up frustration in his heart in the most primal way.

From the moment he entered until now, he had already killed seven or eight prey, and all of them were done using his physical strength.

Feeling life after life wither and die in his hands, Han Dongxu couldn't help but feel an extreme sense of exhilaration.

Since when did killing begin to give him such an indescribable pleasure?

This feeling was more intoxicating than matters of men and women, even reaching deeper into the soul.

After once again strangling a slender figure, Han Dongxu slowly stood up, feeling that his suppressed emotions had been released.

However, as he stood up, he suddenly looked in a certain direction as if sensing something.

In that direction, he felt a fleeting trace of Necromantic Power.

Without thinking, someone had just died there.

"Is this a challenge to me?"

A strange thought sprouted in his heart, making his competitive spirit burn fiercely.

In fact, starting an hour ago, he had occasionally felt traces of Necromantic Power flickering around him.

But this feeling made him very unhappy; he was the strongest person in this Conglomerate.

Even without professional abilities, without Demonic Power, he should still be the strongest one.

So in the hunting ground, he should be the one with the best hunting score!

Every time he came to the hunting ground, not many people would approach.

Because this was an area he frequently visited, over time, others understood this information and tacitly chose to avoid it.

This was a show of respect for him as a strong person, and also a silent submission.

But today, it seemed different.

"It must be that guy who completed the class transfer mission... Sure enough, suddenly possessing powerful strength makes people lose sight of their own place..."

Han Dongxu narrowed his eyes, vaguely forming this conjecture in his mind.

However, he quickly sneered and silently accepted this challenge.

Everyone was a powerful combatant in the Conglomerate; competition between them was normal.

It's just that he would use practical actions to make the other party understand who was the most crucial and core person in this Conglomerate... "Strange, why are all these people running in this direction?"

Gu Qinghan looked at the dead Contractor in front of him, a thoughtful expression on his face.

It wasn't just this guy; several others had also been running this way before.

Although the five Death Swordsmen were strong enough, they would still encounter situations where they couldn't instantly kill their opponents.

At such times, these people surprisingly chose this direction as their escape route, rather than fleeing towards the entrance.

Fortunately, he had the effect of the Peach Blossom Spring, allowing him to ignore these people's cries for help and keep them all.

However, Gu Qinghan also realized that there must be something in this direction that allowed these Contractors to save their lives.

Was it Han Dongxu from the daytime?

Gu Qinghan initially didn't realize that this guy hadn't left yet, because for a period in between, Little Black had left here to gather information nearby.

But now it seemed that Han Dongxu must have been killing here from afternoon until evening.

"Has this guy become addicted to killing?"

Gu Qinghan sneered coldly, quickly put away the Death Swordsmen, and rushed in the direction the person had fled earlier.

He still needed to complete his task of thirty-odd Contractors; if he were to search for them one by one, it would take a lot of time.

And now, he could take advantage of the chaos to test Han Dongxu's strength.

It must be said that Gu Qinghan had a strong murderous intent towards this Contractor who shared the same profession as him.

It wasn't just because the other party was a Contractor, but he had a feeling that a battle would definitely break out between them, it was only a matter of time.

Gu Qinghan changed his appearance to that of the person who had just died by his hand, and after running for a while, he heard the leisurely footsteps ahead.

He stopped, feigning an overly startled expression as he looked in that direction.

A few seconds later, Han Dongxu's imposing figure emerged from the corner, his gaze fixed on Gu Qinghan.

He watched Gu Qinghan constantly panting, and couldn't help but frown and ask,

"What's going on? What are you running from?"

As he spoke, he looked around and walked towards Gu Qinghan.

Gu Qinghan was still panting heavily, pretending to be shaken as he approached Han Dongxu.

However, when the two were less than two meters apart, Gu Qinghan suddenly condensed a Bone Spear and shot it towards the other party.

At the same time, five Death Swordsmen instantly appeared around, charging towards Han Dongxu.

The sudden murderous intent caused Han Dongxu's expression to change rapidly, but the other party had clearly experienced many similar sudden situations.

Around him, Skeletons burning with black-red flames quickly appeared, blocking the charge of the Death Swordsmen.

At the same time, black-red bone armor emerged on Han Dongxu's body, quickly arming him.

The Bone Spear struck it, yet caused no damage, flying off impotently.

Gu Qinghan's eyes lit up slightly; was this Han Dongxu's skill so different from his own?

However, he hadn't originally intended to kill the other party in one go; otherwise, the other party would be too foolish.

The Death Swordsmen struck and retreated, wounding the Skeletons as they vanished into the darkness.

Gu Qinghan also showed no lingering, and after the Bone Spear's cooldown was complete, he released it once more in that direction before disappearing from Han Dongxu's sight.

Han Dongxu, who had expected a big battle, suddenly lost his target, and the skill he had just prepared to unleash was wasted.

He angrily charged forward with his Skeletons, but suddenly his expression changed, and he looked down at his feet.

The light was dim, and he pulled out a flashlight, but almost dropped it to the ground.

Because he saw that he was stepping on a soft, relatively fresh pile of excrement.

Han Dongxu's teeth gnashed; there were indeed excrement left by prey here, but he had never fallen victim to it before.

Why was he so unlucky this time!

Of course, he didn't know that Gu Qinghan's Heart of Curse could make those who harbored hostility towards him unfortunate.

And this angry emotion gradually consumed his rationality, causing him to madly chase in the direction Gu Qinghan had left.

This person must not be one of his own, because he had never seen such an ability!

If he caught him, he would definitely tear him to pieces!

Han Dongxu had already imagined all the ways Gu Qinghan would die in his mind, and as he rounded a corner, he suddenly heard another squishing sound beneath his feet.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his restless emotions, but smelled a faint, unpleasant odor.

"No matter who you are, I will kill you!!!"
