Chapter 31: Assassination

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After rejecting Zhai Yu’s good intentions, Chu Qing left the auction house alone. Another huge problem was resolved.

Chu Qing even had a bold idea. If he could use this Spirit Stone, could he build a huge business empire?

Chu Qing shook his head with a smile. His relationship with them was still a little poor now. It wouldn’t be so easy for him to advance. Everything depended on how big a storm these five Spirit Stones would cause for the auction and the ancient martial arts world.

However, the most important thing now was to quickly increase his strength. Otherwise, Chu Qing would definitely be at the mercy of others at the auction. His identity as a seller would be exposed sooner or later. If those big families wanted to investigate, they would probably find out soon.

Everything depends on the auction in a few days.

Chu Qing thought as he walked and entered a dark alley.

Suddenly, a cold feeling as if a venomous snake was coiling around his body emerged. Chu Qing frowned slightly.

This was his intuition—an instinctive reaction to danger. Chu Qing had relied on his sharp intuition to save his life many times!

Chu Qing pretended to walk forward as if nothing had happened. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of air breaking beside him. It was the sound of a dagger!

“Sword Array!”

As soon as he yelled, the symbol of a sword suddenly appeared around him. Then, a golden shield surrounding two flying swords enveloped Chu Qing. The dagger stabbed into it and made a clanging sound.

Chu Qing slowly turned around. The eyes of a person in black clothes were filled with shock!

“What kind of cultivation technique is this?!”

The man in black looked at Chu Qing’s golden eyes and his legs went weak!

“Who sent you?”

Chu Qing said indifferently. However, when his voice fell into the black-clothed man’s ears, it was like a resounding thunder, making him feel a little dejected.

The next moment, Chu Qing moved. He turned into a golden afterimage and instantly rushed to the side of the man in black. Just as the man in black was about to move, he felt a chill on his neck. It turned out that a dull long sword had already appeared in Chu Qing’s hand and was now pressed against his throat.

“I ask. You answer.”

“No… I can’t…”

Chu Qing smiled. The next moment, he grabbed the man’s throat with his hand.

The spiritual energy slowly seeped into the man in black’s neck. His spiritual energy could be used for surgery or to kill!

Feeling that his throat was blocked by something, the man in black made a gurgling sound. The fear of death began to descend and emerge in his head. How could he dare to kill a powerful man? The mission he received clearly only said to kill a university student…

When the man in black’s face turned dark purple, Chu Qing slowly let go.

“Do you want to tell me?”

“I’ll talk. I’ll talk…”

The man in black coughed before slowly saying, “I… I-I’m an assassin. I’ve received a commission…”

“Who commissioned it?”

“Li… Li Youwei.”

Chu Qing sneered. It seemed like he still needed to settle the Li family’s matter.

“Can I go now?”

Before the man in black could finish speaking, he felt a slight chill in his throat and his life began to flow away.

“Didn’t you say…”

“But I never said I wouldn’t kill you.”

Chu Qing shrugged. The rusty sword emitted a strange red light after being stained with blood. The rust seemed to have faded a little.

Chu Qing threw the man in black, who had lost all signs of life, to the ground.

For some reason, after awakening his spiritual body today, he suddenly had an extremely strong desire to kill.

He ignored the corpse behind him. Someone would naturally dispose of the corpse of one who came from the dark underworld. Chu Qing didn’t have to worry about this.

Chu Qing went straight to Chen Huahua’s house and knocked on the door.

“Oh!”

Chen Huahua screamed and got up from the bed. A boring soap opera was playing on the computer not far from her.

“He’s actually here…”

Chen Huahua scratched her messy hair. She had just woken up not long ago. The life of a nerd was nocturnal.

“Sigh… Since he’s already at the door, this is the only way…”

Chen Huahua casually put on a loose shirt and ran over barefoot to open the door for Chu Qing.

“Y-You’re here…”

Chen Huahua’s face was a little red. For some reason, ever since the last incident, she had been a little shy with Chu Qing, which surprised her.

In her own memory, she had never been shy. In her words, she had been in the military all her life. When had she ever been afraid?

“Well, the room is very clean today.”

Chu Qing didn’t notice Chen Huahua’s abnormality. Anyway, he had seen everything he needed to see on the day he sent her back.

As for what he shouldn’t have seen…
