70: Chapter 70 Ace Assassin

Meanwhile,

Deep underground in Kyoto, inside a completely abandoned air-raid shelter.

It was dim.

And oppressive.

The air was filled with a nauseating stench of decay and blood.

This place was a hidden stronghold of the Abyss Cult in Kyoto.

The Abyss Cult worshipped the abyss.

They were a group of humans whose minds had been completely polluted and distorted by the aura of the abyss.

They had abandoned their identity as part of the Human Race and willingly degenerated into lackeys of the abyss.

Their purpose was singular — to disrupt the development of the Human Race.

And hunt down the Geniuses of the Human Race!

At this moment.

In the center of the spacious underground hall.

Several figures shrouded in large black robes were gathered around an altar emitting a crimson glow.

Above the altar.

A holographic projection was playing on a loop.

Within the image was impressively the duel arena by Weiming Lake.

The exact moment Su Yu condensed a dark red Form-Manifesting spear out of thin air with one hand, piercing through Chen Feng's Mental Energy defense with a single strike.

The image froze on that spear exuding terrifying Evil Qi.

Inside the hall, there was a deathly silence.

After a long while.

The leading figure in a black robe slowly raised his head.

Beneath the hood, a pair of eyes flickering with dim green light were revealed.

"A Genius."

The voice of the black-robed person was hoarse and grating, resembling two rusted iron plates rubbing against each other.

"An unequaled Prodigy!"

His tone was filled with unmasked amazement and an exceptionally intense murderous intent.

"Eighteen years old, one thousand points of Qi."

"To actually comprehend the Form-Manifesting Spear Intent that turns the illusory into reality."

"Looking across the hundred years since our Abyss Cult infiltrated the Human Race, this is also a one-of-a-kind Prodigy."

Another hunchbacked black-robed person sneered.

"It's just a pity!"

"A Prodigy who has not grown up cannot be called a Prodigy!!"

"This kind of monster must absolutely not be allowed to live and grow to the Martial Emperor Realm."

"Otherwise, on the future abyss battlefield, our race will definitely gain a major threat!"

"We must immediately formulate an assassination plan!"

The leading black-robed person nodded.

He reached out and swiped across the Void Realm, bringing up Su Yu's detailed profile.

"According to the data."

"He is currently only at the Martial Master Realm, with one thousand Qi values."

"Although he has comprehended the Form-Manifesting Spear Intent, his Physical Body and Qi foundation are exceptionally weak."

"Sending a Grandmaster with ten thousand Qi values to execute the assassination should be enough, right?"

As soon as the words fell.

A robust black-robed person beside him immediately shook his head.

"Hard to say!"

"That is Spear Intent, and furthermore, Form-Manifesting Spear Intent!"

"Being able to instantly kill Chen Feng, who had three thousand Qi, with a single move shows that his lethality has far exceeded the limits of Qi."

"Sending a Grandmaster with ten thousand Qi still carries the risk of being counter-killed!"

"Then..."

The leading black-robed person pondered for a moment.

"What about a Great Grandmaster with one hundred thousand Qi values??"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The atmosphere inside the hall instantly became somewhat heavy.

A Great Grandmaster with one hundred thousand Qi was also an absolute high-level combat force within the cult.

Losing even one would be a huge loss.

"I still feel there is a risk!"

The robust black-robed person's brows were tightly locked, his tone exceptionally solemn.

"That kid is a top-tier Genius!"

"To be able to comprehend Shape-Shifting at eighteen years old, who knows what hidden life-saving trump cards he still has?"

"To be safe."

"Directly dispatch a Martial Spirit with one million Qi values!"

"Only when a Martial Spirit makes a move can it form an absolute Realm suppression and ensure nothing goes wrong!!!"

Martial Spirit!

These two words made the few black-robed people present gasp deeply.

"However!"

The hunchbacked black-robed person immediately spoke up to refute.

"This is Kyoto!"

"It is the base camp with the tightest defense of the Human Race!"

"Inside Capital Martial Arts University, on the surface, there is even a powerhouse like Martial Emperor Vice Principal Nie Changkong guarding it!"

"Even an old man on the roadside might be a Martial Venerable!"

"Once the assassination begins, regardless of success or failure, the erupted Martial Spirit aura will definitely not escape the perception of top-tier Martial Artists."

"The Martial Spirit executing the mission will undoubtedly die!"

He paused, his tone revealing a trace of disapproval.

"I feel it's unnecessary."

"Using a Great Grandmaster is enough!"

"Even if he has the Form-Manifesting Spear Intent, between one thousand Qi and a Great Grandmaster with one hundred thousand, there is still a chasm-like gap!!"

"A Great Grandmaster's Protective Aura is simply not something one thousand Qi can break through!"

"No!"

The robust black-robed person still insisted on his view.

"Don't forget!"

"That kid was personally conferred as a special-grade Genius by Vice Principal Nie Changkong!"

"Can Capital Martial Arts University not vigorously cultivate him?"

"What if the high-level officials of Capital Martial Arts University gave him massive resources and let him have a Breakthrough in these past few days?"

"In case his strength skyrockets and the Great Grandmaster's assassination fails, what should we do??"

"By then, alerting the enemy and raising the vigilance of the Human Race completely, wanting to assassinate again will only be harder than ascending to heaven!!"

Facing the robust black-robed person's worries.

The hunchbacked black-robed person acted as if he had heard some cosmic joke and couldn't help but sneer aloud.

"A Breakthrough?"

"To what extent can he break through?"

"One thousand Qi values, even if he is exceptionally talented, even if Capital Martial Arts University feeds him high-rank Spirit Medicine like meals!"

"In three days, raising it to two thousand Qi values is the absolute limit!"

"On the path of martial arts, the accumulation of Qi requires time to be polished; this is an ironclad law!"

The hunchbacked black-robed person spoke with absolute certainty.

"Two thousand Qi, how powerful can he be?"

"In front of a Great Grandmaster with one hundred thousand Qi, he is still an ant that can be crushed to death at will!"

"A Great Grandmaster is enough! There is completely no need to dispatch a Martial Spirit to throw away their life in vain!"

Inside the hall.

It fell into a brief silence.

The leading black-robed person's gaze flickered, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

Ultimately.

He slowly nodded.

"What you said also makes sense."

"Dark agents at the Martial Spirit level are our cult's most important trump cards in Kyoto and cannot be easily exposed."

"Then, dispatch a Great Grandmaster."

A trace of a cruel bloody light flashed through the leading black-robed person's eyes.

"Dispatch the most powerful Great Grandmaster."

"The one whose Qi value has reached six hundred thousand!"

"Shadow Blade!"

Hearing this code name, the remaining few black-robed people all nodded in unison.

Shadow Blade.

The ace assassin of the Abyss Cult.

Although his Qi value was only six hundred thousand, not reaching the Peak Great Grandmaster Realm of one million.

But his assassination arts were unfathomable and divine.

The Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters of the Human Race who died in his hands were countless.

For him to make a move to assassinate a freshman with only one thousand Qi.

It was simply using a butcher's cleaver to slaughter a chicken.

An absolute certainty!

"Mm!"

The leading black-robed person made the final decision.

He looked at Su Yu's calm and profound face on the holographic projection.

His voice was cold to the extreme.

"Pass down the order to Shadow Blade."

"Within three days."

"I want to see the fall of this unequaled Prodigy on the news!"

...

Meanwhile,

In an ultra-luxurious flat-floor apartment in Kyoto.

Su Yu sat cross-legged in the center of the spacious living room.

Surrounding him were brand-new dragon coins piled like mountains, exuding the faint fragrance of ink.

A full one hundred and thirty million in cash!

A sea of crimson, under the illumination of the crystal chandelier, refracted a dazzling and mesmerizing luster.

"System."

Su Yu's voice resounded in the quiet living room.

Calm.

Yet it leaked an absolute desire for power.

"Top up!"
