Assassination System

They also have health care for the poor and because of this, the people loved them and their way of governance. But little did everyone knew that the Tetsui Clan had their own little secret that they desperately tried to hide. And that was the fact that they cultivated on the Demonic Path.

Particularly on the path of Lifeforce Devouring where they devoured a mortal or a cultivator\'s soul in order to intensify their life force and effectively increasing their lifespan. The Young Mistress of the Tetsui Clan known as Leona Tetsui indulged on that path.

The three held their breaths as two incoming figures appeared in the line of sight. Dan frowned, one of the approaching figures belonged to a young woman whose visual appearance looked to be the same age as him. The young woman\'s visage looked refreshing to the eyes and amiable beyond extent.

The dimples on her cheeks gave her a sensation of innocence and her eyes that sparkled with the light of spring painted an expression which indicated her righteousness. However, the more Dan looked at her, the more suspicious he became.

How could someone look so innocent as her? He mumbled, Well, with the exception of my little girl, Juliet... Dan lifted a small smile, he felt refreshed thinking about Natalie and Juliet. Shaking his head, he calmed his nerves and focused on the task at hand.

Dan\'s doubt intensified when he realized that the young woman\'s cultivation was at the Spirit Tempering Realm. Even Charlotte Paradyne who had the support of her entire Clan behind her didn\'t achieve the realm that the young woman had.

\'Just what kind of secrets is she hiding?\' Dan inwardly thought, his gaze swept over at Jacob and Sandra and realized that their expressions looked pale and exhausted, he whispered towards them, "I\'ll take their attention so that when they scan around us, they won\'t notice our existence..."

"But, you..." Sandra shook her head and refused, while Jacob also stared at Dan with worry suffused on his visage.

"It\'s fine, I have a few tricks up my sleeves, just stay here and leave after they leave..." He reassured them with a smile and walked away from their hiding spot.

"Are you sure that they are here, Mike?" Leona knitted her eyebrows. When she received the news about the commencement of Brother Fist\'s plan, she and her loyal confidant, Mike immediately set off to do their usual affair.

However, when they arrived at the location, what they saw was a Fire Panther laid on the ground with signs of struggle and battle around it. Her nose twitched, turning her head towards the side, she saw the bodies of Brother Fist and his comrade as she gestured for Mike.

"Damn it, they\'re dead! Just who did this?!" Mike violently cursed, he paid a huge amount of money towards Brother Fist and the latter guaranteed the success of his plan, yet now, not only the goods escaped his grasp, he was also killed by a mysterious assailant.

"If you\'re looking for the one who killed these guys, then you came in the right place..." A cold voice echoed behind them and the two simultaneously turned their heads, there, they saw a middle-aged man as a flash of lightning surged before their eyes. Mike leaped backward and rotated his cultivation base, sending a barrier towards Leona and his body.

"That\'s not enough..." The same voice echoed at another direction and Mike adjusted his barrier. Leona clicked her tongue and unsheathed her sword. A cold wind surged around her body as her Divine Art of Lifeforce Devouring Rotated, it locked on Dan\'s figure like a homing missile and followed his tracks.

Mike also did the same and now, the two of them could keep up on Dan\'s movements, "Such treacherous techniques, it seems like the two of you are really demonic cultivators, aren\'t you afraid that those righteous sects will come after you?" Dan said while evading the furious attacks of the two.

Leona\'s expression flushed in anger, the reason why she was so agitated was that of the fact that Dan disrupted their plans. She was about to break through the Middle Stages of the Spirit Tempering Realm, but now that her sacrifice was gone, her efforts became futile.

Mike knitted his eyebrows, even though he locked on Dan\'s figure with his Lifeforce Devouring Technique, he still couldn\'t predict his movements, despite the fact that he could see him moving. Leona was the same, and this realization made her irritated as her breathing became disarrayed and her expression disheveled.

Void of the cuteness and the innocence that she had when she first appeared. Leona looked like a fierce lioness that threatened to stomp everything under her. Dan saw all of these and he clicked his tongue as he mumbled under his breath, "It seems like I need to stop playing,"

He suddenly stopped and formed a mudra with his hands, "Blessing of the Lightning God: Manifestation!" He pointed at Leona and a bolt of lightning flashed by, striking her squarely in the chest as her figure flew towards a tree, turning it into smithereens upon impact.

Mike turned around and ran towards Leona who was currently coughing blood. His expression turned solemn and incomparably cold. Waving his hand in the air, a sword appeared out of nowhere as he turned around and dashed towards Dan\'s direction.

The latter coldly smirked, withdrawing his Desert Eagle, consecutive gunshots rang out as Dan pulled the trigger as he retreated. When Mike saw the peculiar object pointed at him, he disregarded its existence since he didn\'t feel any sense of danger from it.

But when a deafening roar echoed from the opening of that object followed by the ejection of a projectile which grazed past his face, he became cautious and manifested a barrier formed by his entire cultivation base.

Dan sneered, a barrier like that which thoroughly covers the user could definitely protect them from all directions. However, it was thin and could easily crumble under concentrated attacks. Dan took advantage of this weakness and repeatedly shot on a single spot.

"Do you really think that your efforts are enough to kill me?" Mike gave a cold chuckle and rushed towards Dan\'s direction. His barrier disappeared and Dan\'s eyes widened in shock, "Does he have a death wish?" He mumbled but still pulled his trigger.

A clear gunshot resonated as Dan\'s eyes widened upon the realization that his bullet didn\'t connect. Instead, it struck a precisely manifested barrier the size of a man\'s palm.

"Goddamned it, his control over his Qi is strong!" Dan whispered his curse as he took his dagger and battle Mike in close quarters. Their figures repeatedly blurred.

An azure lightning covered Dan\'s body while Mike\'s expression looked pale and ashen as a murky mist enshrouded his figure. Both fighters engaged in a fierce close combat battle with none of them giving up. However, judging from the beaded sweats that formed on Dan\'s forehead, he understood that he couldn\'t beat Mike in a battle of attrition.

Withdrawing several Frag Grenades, Dan strapped it on his body, pulled the string and leaped towards Mike\'s body and tightly embraced him.

"What are you..." Mike\'s figure froze, he didn\'t expect that his enemy would suddenly embrace him in the middle of battle. However, his expression turned fierce and cold as he raised his sword in the air and prepared to stab down.

Dan disregarded him and stared at the distance before secretly activating a skill. Moving his head towards his enemy\'s ear, he mumbled as a thunderous boom along with an explosion which decimated everything around them resonated.

"No homo, though..."
