Hail the King

Chapter 476: Assassins Again

Every time Fei went to a higher leveled region, the magic traps and killing mechanisms would get deadlier. The magic traps and killing mechanisms in the level 1 region were dangerous to Seven-Star or Eight-Star Masters, but the ones in the level 3 region could threaten peak Nine-Star Masters and low-tier New Moon Elites.

Fortunately, Fei had the help from that mysterious map, and he didn’t trigger any magic traps or killing mechanisms.

......

“The King of Chambord entered the level 5 region; such speed! He didn’t trigger anything on the way! He must have a map!”

After another hour, the five assassins who were dressed in tight-fit black bodysuits appeared by the No.5 Warrior [Martial Statue].

That small and murderous assassin was playing with a small yet sharp knife, and it felt like this blade was a small fish that was flowing between his fingers. As he looked at Fei who disappeared into afar, he sneered and said, “The Mythical Palace had been explored for many years! Except for regions from level 30 to level 36, all maps for level 1 to level 29 are out there. Don’t we also have a map that recorded everything from the level 1 region to the level 20 region? Captain Modo, are you done observing? You guys are scared of him, but I’m not! Just to let you guys know, I will be assassinating him myself next time! When I do kill him, don’t try to steal the credit from me in from of our master! Hehe, the treasures on him would also belong to me......”

Most of his peers were displeased with what this assassin had to say, but Captain Modo didn’t get mad. After a while of thinking, he nodded and said, “Ok, Dylanco. When the King of Chambord starts to reach out to the No.6 Warrior [Martial Statue] and tries to get the technique from it, you can try to assassinate him. If you succeed, I won’t let anyone take your credit.”

“Really?” this assassin named Dylanco was excited. He looked around and sneered, “Make sure you think it through so you all won’t break this deal when you see his treasures. If I kill him, all of his treasures are mine!”

“Haha! I can promise you as the Captain of this team!” Modo promised.

“Hahaha! Great! I will go and kill him right now! I will prove to Master that I’m his best subordinate! Hehe......” as Dylanco laughed coldly, his body slowly disappeared as if he dissolved into the air.

“Captain, you......” after Dylanco disappeared, one of the assassins couldn’t hold back anymore and tried to express his viewpoint.

Captain Modo waved his hand, and an unprecedented chilly light appeared in his eyes.

He said, “I know what you want to say. Don’t worry, Dylanco couldn’t kill the King of Chambord! Hehe, since he wants to die, we can use his life to check how powerful this King of Chambord really is!”

...... action

30 minutes later, Fei arrived at the No.6 Warrior [Martial Statue].

He had gotten some useful techniques from the first five [Martial Statues]; they were just what Chambord, that had no accumulation of resources, needed at the time. Once the warriors of Chambord advanced to Moon-Class, they could cultivate these techniques.

“What technique is stored in this statue?” Fei was curious. The deeper he was in the Mythical Palace, the better the techniques he got. Of course, the amount of Spirit Energy needed and the power of potential backlashes increased a lot as well. If he didn’t have a firm foundation, his life energy and soul would be sucked away by this statue easily, and his body would turn into dust just like that ungrateful man he saw at the beginning.

After his Spirit Energy entered this statue, Fei frowned; the suction force from this No.6 Warrior [Martial Statue] was several times greater than the previous five [Martial Statues] added together. If Fei’s Spirit Energy wasn’t strong, he could have gotten killed.

“Huh? [Sky-Tearing Scar]? An arrow and shooting technique? It looks like Torres got lucky! Haha......”

After Fei was pleased with this finding and was about to enter the next region, he suddenly sensed something and turned around with a frowning expression. He looked at an empty space that was about ten meters away from him and said coldly, “Come out! Let me see who had been following me for the last hour! How ugly are you? You have to hide for that long?”

Mocking laughter sounded, and a thin figure in black slowly appeared at where Fei was looking. This man in black was Dylanco, the assassin!

At the moment, his knife was still flowing between his fingers as he played with it, and it seemed like this man was really confident and relaxed.

“The King of Chambord, just kill yourself now,” Dylanco said as he approached Fei and licked his lips.

A cold smile appeared on Fei’s face as he replied, “Why do I need to commit suicide?”

“It would be more comfortable for you to die that way. If I have to kill you myself, I will slit your throat first. Before you lose your conscious and completely die off, I will open a split on your head and let you witness how I skin you from your head to your toes...... Haha, you will experience the worst pain in your life! I can promise you that you will regret it! Isn’t that terrifying? What is your decision?” Dylanco stopped playing with his blade and asked Fei as sick and nasty lights appeared in his eyes.

“Who sent you? Why are you here?” Fei asked; he didn’t show any signs of emotion. Since the assassins who were after him were powerful and dressed in the same way, it was clear that they were conspiring against him, and Fei wanted to get some information.

“Hehe, why does a dead man need to know that much? If you can tell me how your strength increased so much in a short time and hand over your treasures, I can consider the option of letting you have an easier death,” Dylanco replied.

Although he was arrogant, he was still a professional assassin and would keep the critical information confidential.

“So, someone wants to know my secret around cultivation?” Fei understood. “It looks like my insane growth speed is attracting others’ attention. Who is this person? He or she is able to command Moon-Class Elites to assassinate me? Damn! This person might be even more influential than some emperors.”

“You want to trick me into spilling the beans? Haha, impossible! You will know after you are dead,” Dylanco approached his prey and said casually. When he was less than four meters away from Fei, he started to unleash his chilly and vicious aura. The murderous spirit rushed out of his body and dashed at Fei, and it left deep scratch marks on the ground and the structures around them as if blades combed through everything.

“Since this is the case, then tell me everything you know; I will let you die easier!” Fei laughed.

He had been through too many situations and battles in Diablo World, and his mental fortitude was beyond anyone’s imagination. The murderous spirit this assassin was proud of was nothing in Fei’s eyes.

After Fei mocked this assassin, he stepped forward and unleashed the aura of his own. Instantly, the lights in the area dimmed, and a faint red color dispersed into the area. It was breathtaking, and this assassin was completely enveloped by it.

“How come you have such a strong murderous spirit?” Dylanco asked as his body froze. He had an ominous feeling about this as the danger he was sensing was going through the roof. With his eyes wide open, he felt like he miscalculated something.

“I have killed too many shady people like you! I even lost count!” Fei replied.

Before his opponent could respond, he stepped forward and moved towards this assassin as he punched out with a fist enveloped by silver energy flame.

Invincible Emperor Fist!

Dylanco was shocked by this technique, and he unleashed his Wind-Elemental Warrior Energy. He instantly went into his peak state, and he raised his arms to block the attack as he got ready to back off.

Crack!

The pain he sensed stunned him! It was a surprise to him that his arms were easily destroyed by the King of Chambord’s weak-looking punch.

Crack!

After that merciless fist broke Dylanco’s arms, it followed up and struck his chest. Same as before, Dylanco’s Warrior Energy couldn’t protect him against Fei’s fist. As a result, this vicious assassin’s chest concaved in, and it soon got penetrated.

“No...... You aren’t a level 1 low-tier New Moon Elite! You are already a mid-tier New Moon Elite......” Dylanco backed off as he shouted with blood spurting out of his mouth. Now, he realized what kind of a mistake he made!

“But how could a new Moon-Class Elite who advanced three days ago be a mid-tier New Moon Elite?” this assassin thought to himself.

However, he would never know.
