Chapter 649 A Generous Reward, A Brave Man
The dazzling glint of the blade was so bright that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes.
The assassins instinctively raised their hands to cover their eyes.
Unexpectedly, in an instant, the light of the blade fell down.
Despite the stinging pain in his eyes, Chen Jie peered through his fingers and witnessed a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life!
The blade swept across the assassins, as smooth as a hot knife cutting through butter.
The most aggressive Black Tiger naturally bore the brunt!
This was the person who was once unapproachable and unfathomable in Chen Jie's eyes.
Under this earth-shattering strike, they had no ability to resist whatsoever!
It was cleaved in two!
Blood splattered everywhere; the scene was horrifying!
Wherever the blade energy spread, anyone who stood in its way was instantly turned into two corpses!
In no time, the place transformed into a scene of hell.
Corpses lay strewn about, and pieces of flesh were scattered everywhere.
Bloodshed filled the air, and cries of agony echoed everywhere!
However, faced with such a scene, Chen Jie felt not only no discomfort, but also unusual excitement.
"kill!!!"
"Kill them all!!!"
"These guys who treat human life like dirt, they never imagined they'd become the slaughtered pigs and sheep themselves, did they?"
"Evil people need to be tempered by even more evil people!"
Chen Jie's eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and his body trembled with excitement.
Suddenly, he understood a principle—
People!
In this chaotic world, if you want to take control of your own destiny, you have to become more ruthless and vicious!
Lin Mo sheathed his knife.
Looking at the joyful Zanya-no-Tsurugi in his hand, he nodded with satisfaction.
After being reforged from the dragon bone, the power of the Night-Slaying Blade has reached a new level.
Even the blade energy it carries can slice a person in half.
It's truly like killing someone as easily as chopping melons and vegetables!
Then, he looked up at a cluster of buildings not far away.
Without stopping at all, they headed straight there.
However, some survivors attempted to block his path.
But he didn't even need to lift a finger; before those men could even get close, they were shot dead by several hidden weapons that suddenly appeared from the darkness!
"Is there anyone else?"
Chen Jie, who was standing to the side, then realized that Lin Mo had not come alone.
There are also hidden experts clearing obstacles for him.
The buildings in front are a series of uniquely designed pavilions, all built against the mountain.
There are many jagged and strange rocks outside, which look quite bizarre.
Just as Lin Mo arrived at the complex of buildings, a loud shout suddenly rang out, trying to stop him.
"Who dares to trespass into my Yellow Springs Guidance?"
An elderly man in a black robe stepped out.
His face was thin and refined, but his eyes were like those of a hawk.
He held two heavy iron balls in his hands, which made a sickening "clucking" sound.
He was one of the Grand Secretaries of Huangquanyin, Grand Secretary Xue.
Angry voices echoed through the valley.
Like a thunderclap, it made people's eardrums ache.
Behind him were a dozen or so assassins dressed in night clothes.
They vary in height, weight, and gender.
But everyone exuded the same aura—cold and bloodthirsty!
Their gazes were fixed on Lin Mo, filled with scrutiny, cruelty, and a hint of cat-and-mouse playfulness.
The scraping sound of the iron lining stopped.
When Grand Secretary Xue spoke, his voice was as dry as sandpaper.
"Young man, do you know where you are? Rushing in here will come at a great cost."
Lin Mo didn't speak, but simply glanced at the crowd in front of him.
"Just you?"
When he saw that Lin Mo was alone, Elder Xue frowned slightly and asked in surprise.
"only myself."
Lin Mo responded calmly.
"Where's Black Tiger? As the outer guard, he let you, you slippery eel, sneak in. You're becoming more and more incompetent!"
Grand Secretary Xue looked quite displeased.
He still thought Lin Mo had sneaked in.
"Oh, you mean that big black guy?"
Lin Mo responded with a relaxed expression.
“I’ve already killed him, but… if you go down and find him now, it should still be in time.”
"Hahaha!"
Upon hearing such arrogant and provocative words, Grand Secretary Xue couldn't help but laugh in anger.
Laughter echoed through the valley for a long time.
"Kid, are you tired of living?"
An assassin behind Grand Secretary Xue snorted coldly, stepped forward and asked, his eyes flashing with a fierce light like shards of glass.
"It seems he thinks he has too much time on his hands, daring to speak to the Grand Secretary like that!"
"He's really asking for it. Doesn't he know where he is?"
The assassins stared intently at Lin Mo as if he were already dead and began to speak.
After Xue Ge Lao laughed, his face instantly darkened, and his eyes revealed a strong murderous intent without any attempt to hide it.
"It seems that Huang Quan Yin has been out of the public eye for so long that some people have forgotten its former prestige. Even an unknown nobody like you dares to barge in alone and even dares to speak rudely to this old man!"
Grand Secretary Xue narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke in a deep voice.
Although Lin Mo's calmness made him feel something was unusual.
However, Grand Secretary Xue had long held a high position and naturally possessed authority.
He tilted his head slightly and raised his voice to make sure every assassin behind him could hear him.
"kill him!"
Grand Secretary Xue waved his hand and issued the order.
"The first person to take down another will receive ten contribution points!"
To motivate his group of assassins, he offered an enticing reward.
"what?"
Ten contribution points?
The assassins were immediately in an uproar upon hearing this.
A commotion arose in the crowd, and everyone's breathing became heavier.
Within the Yellow Springs Guidance, contribution points are a more sought-after hard currency than gold and silver.
With a large number of contribution points, you can surpass your current assassin level, take on more difficult missions, and obtain more generous rewards.
At the same time, one can also go to the higher levels of the Yellow Springs Pavilion to read more powerful cultivation manuals and improve one's strength.
Generally, contribution points can only be accumulated by completing tasks.
Successfully completing a normal human-level task only yields one contribution point.
A higher-level Earth-level mission will earn you five contribution points.
Only the most difficult level within the prefecture-level city is likely to be worth more than ten contribution points.
Therefore, the moment Elder Xue spoke, all the assassins gasped for breath and their eyes lit up.
It was as if countless riches and powerful techniques were beckoning to him.
The saying goes, "A generous reward will surely attract brave men."
"kill!"
Suddenly, someone shouted.
Immediately afterwards, deafening shouts of battle rose into the sky like a surging tide.
The roar was deafening, as if it would overturn the entire sky.
The assassins roared and surged toward Lin Mo like a tidal wave.
The scene resembled a pack of maddened wild beasts pouncing on their prey.
If it were an ordinary person, faced with this ferocious and murderous scene, they would probably be terrified, their legs would go weak, and they would collapse to the ground.
However, Lin Mo merely raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his smile carrying a hint of disdain and provocation, which only fueled a strong desire for challenge within him.
Like a lion facing the provocation of a pack of hyenas, it is not afraid, but excited and eager to fight.
"Haha, Your Excellency, this credit is mine!"
A burly man with a full beard and a towering build stepped forward first.
