’So this is the Spirit Venerable who tried to assassinate ?’
Shu Feng glanced at Assassin Star, grabbed him, and tossed him directly into the Warrior Synthesis Nest to be modified.
"This is a Spiritual Spear of the Famous Gun class! This one Spiritual Spear is worth more than a single Top-grade Spirit Stone."
Shu Feng picked up the Famous Gun, [Xingchen], that Assassin Star had used. As he infused it with Spiritual Power, he felt how easily his power flowed into the weapon.
Countless mysterious Spirit Patterns instantly appeared on [Xingchen], channeling Shu Feng’s Spiritual Power and transforming it into a Spiritual Light Beam that blasted a five-ter-tall boulder, shattering it to pieces.
Such was the power of a Famous Gun; not even the Steel Beast in its three-stage transformation could withstand a shot from it.
On Blue Star, the Seven Great Holy Spears could slay gods. These Seven Great Holy Spears were also Blue Star’s seven most powerful Secret Treasures.
Below the Seven Great Holy Spears were the Famous Guns. Each one was forged by a Secret Treasure Refining Master, who spent countless resources and top-tier materials—like Dragon Bone, Star Iron, the remains of a Void Demon Duke, and Legendary Creatures—to create an almost irreplicable weapon.
It was possible to produce two Tier Four Spiritual Spears with nearly identical performance, but every Famous Gun was entirely unique and almost impossible to replicate.
Most Famous Guns were the personal weapons of Spirit Saint Realm Powerhouses; only a very small number of Spirit Venerable Realm Powerhouses could ever possess one.
Assassin Star had acquired this Famous Gun, [Xingchen], through a stroke of luck.
’This really is a good weapon. I’ll let him keep this Famous Gun for now, at least until my Spear Technique surpasses his.’
Assassin Star’s Spear Technique was simply divine and unpredictable; he had killed Shu Feng four tis in their first encounter. If Shu Feng hadn’t signed a Blood Contract with eighteen creatures, giving him eighteen lives, he would have been finished long ago.
Camilla, Adnan, and the recently subdued Elder He were all powerful long-range attackers, yet even when they joined forces, they were no match for Assassin Star with his weapon in hand.
Of course, Assassin Star had a weakness: his close-combat abilities were poor. The mont the Steel Beast got close, it killed him instantly. But Shu Feng had nurous Summoned Beasts, and plenty of at shields.
If Assassin Star were to join Shu Feng’s ranks, wielding the Famous Gun [Xingchen], he would even possess the terrifying power to help hunt down and kill a Semi-Saint Level powerhouse.
An hour later, Shu Feng waved his hand, and Assassin Star imdiately appeared before him.
Shu Feng said coolly, "Who are you? And who sent you to assassinate ?"
Xingchen replied slowly, "Master, my na is Hai Xing. My alias is Xingchen, and I am the third-ranked assassin in the Assassin’s House. Zhu Huan of the Zhu Clan once did a great favor. He was the one who sent to assassinate you!"
A hint of surprise flickered in Shu Feng’s eyes. "I get the feeling you don’t object to becoming my subordinate."
Shu Feng sensed no resistance from Xingchen. Many of the powerhouses he had forcibly modified harbored resentnt toward him and would only beco obedient after suffering enough.
"In the Dark Realm, the strong are revered. Master, you are powerful and unfathomable. Since I have already fallen into your hands, resisting would be asking for trouble."
"I am willing to serve you with all my heart, Master. I only ask that you bestow the Famous Gun [Xingchen] upon , so that I may serve you better."
Xingchen dropped to his knees before Shu Feng and prostrated himself on the ground, speaking with the utmost respect.
Back when Xingchen was down on his luck, he had begged, knelt before others, and even done many unspeakable things for money. He understood one simple truth: only by having enough value to be exploited could he survive in an organization and live a better life.
Only with the Famous Gun [Xingchen] was he the third-ranked assassin from the Assassin’s House, the one who could easily kill Shu Feng three tis. Without the Famous Gun [Xingchen], his power would be more than halved.
Shu Feng said coolly, "If I were to order you to kill Zhu Huan, what would you do?"
"Then I would go and kill him! I owed Zhu Huan a great debt back then. I told him I would repay it by killing three people for him. I have already killed two. By coming to assassinate you, Master, I have essentially died once myself, so all debts have now been paid."
"Right now, Zhu Huan and I are nothing more than strangers. If you order to kill him, I will kill him! Your will is my will!" Xingchen declared, his tone firm and resolute.
"Well said! This [Xingchen] is yours, then! I want Zhu Huan dead!"
Shu Feng gave a light toss, throwing [Xingchen] to Assassin Star.
"Thank you, Master!"
Assassin Star caught [Xingchen], a flash of ecstasy in his eyes as his expression beca even more respectful.
「Azure Dragon Spirit City, Zhu Mansion.」
’He wants to see !!’
Zhu Huan studied a secret letter for a mont, his brow furrowing slightly. After a brief hesitation, he took out a black leaf and dripped a drop of blood onto it.
Black mist imdiately billowed out from the leaf.
"What is it?"
The mist churned, and from within ca Xingchen’s ice-cold voice.
Zhu Huan asked, "Was it you who asked to et at Lotus Manor, fifty li outside the western suburbs of Azure Dragon Spirit City?"
Xingchen replied, "That’s right!"
Zhu Huan frowned slightly. "What is it? Can’t we talk about it now?"
The Zhu Clan was currently in conflict with the Yuanhai Shu Family, and Zhu Huan was unwilling to leave the Zhu Mansion unless it was absolutely necessary.
From the other side ca Xingchen’s cold voice: "I assassinated Shu Feng once and took three of his lives! But he didn’t die. Your intelligence was wrong. You must give an explanation. Otherwise, our deal is off. I’ll consider my debt to you repaid, and we’ll owe each other nothing from now on. Don’t co looking for again, and I won’t go after Shu Feng again either."
’As expected of Xingchen!! To think he killed Shu Feng three tis!!’
Zhu Huan’s eyes lit up with excitent. He said anxiously, "Alright!! I’ll give you an explanation! How about this? As paynt for assassinating Shu Feng, I can give you the Magic Potion [Black Dragon Blood], which is refined from the heart of a Semi-Saint Level Black Dragon."
The Magic Potion [Black Dragon Blood], refined from the heart of a Semi-Saint Level Black Dragon, could allow an ordinary person to evolve into a Spirit Warrior Level Spiritualist in a single step, transforming their aptitude and even extending their lifespan. A single vial was priced at over five hundred billion, and it was so rare that money alone couldn’t buy it.
That [Black Dragon Blood] was a treasure Zhu Huan had obtained by a stroke of luck. It was extrely precious and one of his trump cards.
Xingchen said slowly, "[Black Dragon Blood]!! Zhu Huan, assassinating Shu Feng by myself, I can kill him three tis at most. If I’m not mistaken, he should have a Blood Contract with nine Summoned Beasts. To kill him, you have to kill him nine tis in one go. There is no way I can kill him nine tis on my own. I’ll need help from other experts."
