259: Chapter 259: The Seven Kings of the Dark World (3rd Update) 259: Chapter 259: The Seven Kings of the Dark World (3rd Update) Ye Xuan, carrying the human-shaped Black Mountain Sculpture, walked back to the training field.
At this mont, the smoke on the field had dissipated, and the surroundings once again beca clearly visible.
Wu Zongkui had been turned into a sieve by the helicopter, his entire body transford into a lump of rotten flesh; his face was no longer recognizable.
Ye Xuan walked over, casually tossed the Black Mountain Sculpture beside the lump of ‘rotten flesh,’ and stepped on it with his foot.
The Dragon Soul team mbers on the third floor, upon seeing the mangled Wu Zongkui, felt a wave of nausea, almost throwing up!
Then, they shifted their gaze to the Black Mountain Sculpture.
This internationally notorious bandit chief, with all limbs broken, had t such a wretched end, entirely at the hands of the man before them.
No one had expected that this guy, who had always been cheerful around them, could beco so ruthlessly vicious when he struck!
The bloody slaughter that had just occurred made even them, as bystanders, feel shivers down their spines.
At this mont, the Black Mountain Sculpture’s complexion was ghostly pale; the blood from his limbs had long since drained away, yet, owing to his strong physical constitution, he hadn’t died just yet.
Of course, even if he had died, Ye Xuan could still bring him back, because he needed answers from him!
Snap.
Ye Xuan lit a cigarette, took it to his blood-covered lips with a firm draw.
Then, with a cold glare, he gazed down at the Black Mountain Sculpture and spoke indifferently, “You brought so many people to land in Yan Country, what unspeakable secret are you hiding?
Tell the answer, and I’ll grant you a release!”
Hearing the possibility of release, the already delirious Black Mountain Sculpture suddenly showed a glint of brightness in his eyes.
“Our target is soone nicknad ‘Black Emperor’!
Soone paid us to take his life, and we brought these people to assassinate him.”
The words from the Black Mountain Sculpture made Ye Xuan stunned, completely unexpected.
Who would have thought this Extre Organization would deploy so many people, taking such a huge risk to land in Yan Country, and its target was actually himself?
No wonder they were equipped with Anti-Air Missiles and ard helicopters; it seed they were aware of the difficulty of the mission.
Those two Anti-Air Missiles were probably ant to be used against him.
However, they had still underestimated his strength, thinking that with advanced weaponry and nurical superiority, they could handle him.
Little did they know that to kill him, it wasn’t just a matter of numbers and sophisticated weapons, it had to be an individual’s combat power reaching the utmost pinnacle—and such people, Ye Xuan had not yet encountered, not to ntion them.
“Could it be related to the mastermind behind the manipulation of the conflict between Purgatory and Dragon Soul, and the disappearance of the Eagle?” Ye Xuan’s eyes flickered, and after pondering for a mont, he looked at the Black Mountain Sculpture and asked:
“Is the one who hired you to assassinate the Tiger King from Beijiang Continent, the Lion King from Lijia State, or the Snake King from the Southern Federation?”
So far, only these three had grievances with him.
These three guys were one of the seven kings of the Earth’s Dark World, formally known as the Overbearing Tiger King, the Blood Lion King, and the Golden Snake King!
The seven kings of the Dark World were the seven most formidable figures, also recognized by the World Governnt as the seven strongest, with publicly acknowledged S-rank peak strength.
They possessed catastrophic destructive power and combat capabilities rivalling that of nations; each had their own territory.
And this territory encompassed the five continents of the world, plus Antarctica and the North Pole—each of them dominating the power of a continent, reigning as the strongest king of that land.
Not only were they powerful, but they also had imnse ruling and influential power!
The Tiger King was the ruler of Beijiang Continent, the Lion King was the ruler of Lijia State, and the Snake King was the ruler of the Southern Federation.
Furthermore, there were the rulers of South Arica, the ruler of Asia, the Netherworld King of Antarctica, and the Asura King of the North Pole!
Among the Seven Kings, only these three bore an ocean-deep grudge against Ye Xuan!
In terms of motive for assassination, they were the most likely.
Moreover, Ye Xuan suspected that the Eagle’s disappearance was orchestrated by these three.
However, what surprised him was that after hearing his words, Black Hill Eagle was utterly confused, “What Seven Kings?
I don’t know them.”
The Seven Kings, with their widespread reputation in the Dark World and their imperial majesty, were not known to just anybody.
Just like this Black Hill Eagle, though an internationally wanted desperado ranked 31st on the desperado list, not being privy to higher circles, his ignorance of the Seven Kings’ existence was not surprising.
Ye Xuan furrowed his brow; if not those three, then who could it be?
Could there be soone else who wanted to kill him?
He had too many enemies, countless people who wished him dead!
After so thought, Ye Xuan asked, “Then whose money did you take?
Did they tell you a na?”
Black Hill Eagle replied, “I don’t know who it is, but he asked to be addressed as Mr.
Hai.
He transferred one billion Federation Coins to our account and hired us to assassinate soone called the Black Emperor in Yan Country.
He said he would send us the photo in three days, so we lay low on the island waiting to get the photo before landing in Yan Country.
We didn’t expect you to discover our whereabouts.”
At this mont, Black Hill Eagle just wanted to die swiftly and thus was not lying.
But he was unaware that his intended target, the Black Emperor, stood right before his eyes.
“Mr.
Hai?”
Ye Xuan’s brow furrowed further.
He was certain he had never heard this na, nor did he know this person.
But why would soone want to kill him?
One billion Federation Coins!
That was no small sum.
No one would be foolish enough to waste so much money on a whim.
If soone wanted him dead, there must be a compelling reason.
He had thought he might clear up so information, or expose the mastermind behind the Eagle’s disappearance, the one who was stirring strife between Purgatory and Dragon Soul.
Instead, things had beco even more complex and mysterious.
After asking so more related questions, to which Black Hill Eagle claid ignorance, ntioning their contact was always initiated by the other party through a third party, he had never even seen the person’s face.
Getting no useful information, Ye Xuan couldn’t help feeling disappointed.
He felt as if there was an invisible force behind him, watching him, even a dark hand manipulating everything!
This made Ye Xuan extrely irritated.
Who was targeting him?
And why had Eagle disappeared?
Everything was like a tangled ball of yarn, utterly without clue, leaving Ye Xuan incredibly frustrated.
Regardless of who it was, since they were his enemy, Ye Xuan was determined to eradicate them to the last!
After finishing his cigarette, Ye Xuan turned back and waved at He Jun, smiling, “Captain He, it’s done.
Take this guy off our hands.”
He Jun snapped to attention and ca to his senses, looking at Ye Xuan with a touch of respect in his eyes.
He made arrangents to his subordinates, leaving three n upstairs to keep watch, and then led the rest down the stairs.
Seeing that Ye Xuan had not kept his word to grant him release, Black Hill Eagle showed a look of terror and roared, “Didn’t you say you’d let die?
Why aren’t you keeping your promise!”
“Sorry, but I’ve always been known not to keep my word.”
Ye Xuan shrugged indifferently, a disdainful smile on his face, “You tortured those girls to death, so you must suffer a hundredfold, a thousandfold the agony.
Being taken by the Northern Federation is too easy for you.
You guys are brothers, right?
It’s only fair you stay and face punishnt together.”
