Mu Jinyu, holding three Silver Needles, moved towards "Zeus" with steps that seed slow but were actually fast. Before "Zeus" could react, the needles were firmly pressed against his throat, the movent so swift it was almost inconceivable.
"Admit defeat."
Mu Jinyu's tone was not so friendly.
If "Zeus" dared to make any rebellious move, he would have pierced his throat with the Silver Needle instantly.
And detonate the True Yuan attached to them!
Faced with the threatening glint of the Silver Needles, how could "Zeus" dare to resist?!
With a bitter smile, he spread his hands, raising them towards the sky to show his submissive attitude, pleading with Mu Jinyu not to act rashly, then said, "I... admit defeat..."
Seeing "Zeus" admit defeat,
All the assassins in the audience couldn't help but be shocked.
They had never expected "Zeus," who had just displayed an invincible presence, to be so easily "milked" to death by them and forced to surrender under Mu Jinyu's coercion in just a few short monts.
The Vice Alliance Hierarch was also surprised by "Zeus" admitting defeat.
After all, just a mont ago, "Zeus" seed unstoppable, and Mu Jinyu appeared to have no resistance; yet unexpectedly, within a few moves, Mu Jinyu made a counter-attack with a decisive kill move, changing the entire situation!
However, although surprised, the Vice Alliance Hierarch, having experienced many trials, quickly composed himself, and announced Slaughter Redemption's failure and the Six Disasters Canglong henceforth becoming the new world's number one in the Assassins Guild.
The mont this was announced, the entire place fell silent.
No one cheered or jumped for joy.
If it had been other Assassins Guilds like "Dawn" or "Desolation," whose guild masters achieved such a proud victory and led their guilds to beco the world's number one, their mbers would probably be so excited they might go crazy on the spot.
And the guilds friendly with them would also cheer for them.
But the Six Disasters Canglong, founded by Mu Jinyu, had only Xiang Mantang as its core mber, a man accustod to great turmoil. How could the ascension of an Assassins Guild to world number one make him lose his composure?!
He was even less likely to engage in activities such as applause or cheering.
And the mbers of the "Dawn" and "Desolation" guilds, who had just been absorbed by them, had no sense of organizational identity with them and didn't yet feel like they were a part of Six Disasters Canglong, so naturally, they wouldn't share in the pride.
Therefore, the scene at that mont beca eerily quiet…
"Clap, clap, clap!"
At that ti, the Vice Alliance Hierarch frowned and started to clap lightly a few tis.
As soone took the lead, even if all the assassins present didn't like Mu Jinyu, they knew they couldn't offend him too much, so they also followed suit with applause.
"Clap, clap, clap..."
The loud applause suddenly broke out in the quiet and dimly-lit hall.
At that mont, Mu Jinyu let go, withdrawing the Silver Needles from "Zeus's" neck and also removed the three needles that had been blocking his ridians from his back, before stepping down from the competition platform.
Now that he had beco the number one in the world, his mission here was half completed; all he needed was to et the Lord of the Killing Realm later and take him down as well.
With Mu Jinyu stepping off the platform,
"Zeus," still on the platform, let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as though his entire back was soaked in cold sweat.
Since becoming one of the top five super assassins in the world, he had never felt such an imdiate threat of death.
After taking a long breath, "Zeus," now able to use his special ability again, lit up strands of Thunder Arc light with his hands, then walked towards the area where "Twilight of the Gods" had previously been stationed.
anwhile, because of the preceding battle between "Zeus" and Mu Jinyu, all the chandeliers in the hall had burst, and the retired staff of the hotel's assassin guild ca over to urgently replace the lights.
When the chandeliers were being changed, naturally, the battle could no longer continue, so everyone started whispering among themselves.
Most of them couldn't help but marvel at the impressive victories of Mu Jinyu and his team.
As for the darker thoughts in their hearts, since Mu Jinyu and his people were present, naturally, none would voice them.
"President!"
"Zeus" walked up to the mbers of "Twilight of the Gods," and a sowhat aggrieved cry arose from the crowd.
They felt frustrated and wronged that the guild they were proud of was being annexed by "Six Disasters Canglong."
"Don't call president anymore, from now on we are all mbers of 'Six Disasters Canglong,' and I am just an ordinary mber of the new guild."
When "Zeus" heard the way the crowd addressed him, he felt a great sense of self-reproach, but thinking of Mu Jinyu's rcy, he still waved his hand and spoke to the people.
"President, are you really willing to accept this?!"
"Hades" couldn't help but shout when he heard "Zeus'" words.
"Nonsense, even if we're unwilling, what can be done? Do you want to violate the 'Assassin's Creed'? "
"Zeus" imdiately turned cold and scolded "Hades."
The "Assassin's Creed" was the ironclad rule established by that great power who once swept through the Assassin World and gathered the assassin organizations around the world into the "Slaughter Redemption" Assassin Alliance.
Any assassin who established an assassins guild and joined the "Slaughter Redemption" must not violate its various rules; otherwise, they would be besieged and killed by the Lord of the Killing Realm leading all the assassins.
And in the "Assassin's Creed," there is such a rule that the defeated assassins guild, which accepted a life-and-death challenge, automatically becos a subsidiary of the victor, swearing loyalty to them from then on, without dissent.
It can be said that after "Twilight of the Gods" accepted Mu Jinyu's life-and-death challenge and lost, if they intended to go back on their word and make "Six Disasters Canglong" the first in the world while demoting themselves to second, it was simply not feasible.
This would bring a disaster of annihilation upon them, just when they had a glimr of hope to survive.
"Poseidon" sighed, "If we had known this, we wouldn't have accepted his life-and-death challenge earlier; we should have opted for a normal promotion challenge..."
Indeed, had they only accepted a normal promotion challenge, then after losing to Mu Jinyu, their "Twilight of the Gods" would only have allowed "Six Disasters Canglong" to beco the number one guild in the world. They would not have been annexed but would have swapped rankings with "Six Disasters Canglong," becoming the third in the world.
Unfortunately, they did not regard Mu Jinyu and his team very highly at the ti and were solely focused on destroying them and then taking over the resources accumulated by the "Dawn" and "Desolation" guilds.
That wish, however, led to a regrettable outco for them.
"No use regretting now, let's go, head over to the new guild,"
"Athena" regained her composure and calmly spoke to the others.
The group nodded and then walked towards where Mu Jinyu and his people were.
On this side,
While the hotel staff hurriedly changed the chandeliers, Mu Jinyu paced over to Xiang Mantang, then supported his shoulder, grimacing in pain, his expression twisted.
But he did not cry out in pain to avoid being overheard, which would lead to people getting the wrong idea and result in them having to step onto the platform to fight again.
Xiang Mantang also understood Mu Jinyu's intentions. After all, they were about to gang up on the Lord of the Killing Realm together; it was imperative for them to quickly heal their injuries and adjust their condition so as not to cause further complications.
So even though Xiang Mantang was very concerned about Mu Jinyu's situation, he said nothing.
Mu Jinyu, anwhile, pressed on Xiang Mantang's shoulder for support, then took out a Silver Needle. After briefly sterilizing it with True Qi, he began to treat the electrical injury on his own leg inflicted by "Zeus."
Soon, Mu Jinyu stabilized his injury and also consud a Pill to improve his condition a little more.
After all, he was about to join the ambushing of the Realm Master; he felt it was not excessive to be too careful.
