Chapter 225: Chapter 225 Gold Medal Assassin Chapter 225: Chapter 225 Gold Medal Assassin “Tap tap!

Tap tap!”

Footsteps echoed from outside the door.

Zhao Dangyuan suddenly stood up, a sharp light bursting forth from his eyes.

Then, two figures entered from outside.

The person in front led the way; he was an elder of the Zhao Family, while the other one wore a mask over his face, donned in a black robe!

Dark Night Assassin!

From the attire of this person, anyone with some understanding of the Dark Night Organization would know that this individual must be a Dark Night Assassin.

On the assassin’s chest, a golden skull badge immediately caught Zhao Dangyuan’s attention.

Gold Medal Assassin!

The assassins of the Dark Night Organization were mainly divided into three levels: the lowest were the Bronze Medal Assassins, a level higher were the Silver Medal Assassins, and above them were the formidable Gold Medal Assassins.

This distinction was easy to make; one could tell at a glance from the color of the badge on their chest.

The person who appeared in the Zhao family’s guest room at this moment was clearly a terrifying Dark Night Gold Medal Killer.

It wasn’t the first time a Dark Night Assassin had entered the Zhao family; a year ago, a Dark Night Assassin had visited.

However, that assassin was only a Bronze Medal Assassin.

In the end, that Bronze Medal Assassin named Night Owl died in the wilderness outside Donglin City.

Although it could not be confirmed that Night Owl was killed by Jing Yan, Jing Yan had left Donglin City and only returned after approximately three periods.

Judging from Jing Yan’s behavior after returning to Donglin City, there was an eighty percent chance that the Bronze Medal Assassin had died at the hands of Jing Yan.

“At last!” Zhao Dangyuan thought excitedly upon seeing the Gold Medal Assassin.

He had been waiting for this day for a very, very long time.

Right now, the top priority for the Zhao family was to eliminate Jing Yan.

To handle this matter properly, Zhao Dangyuan had even neglected his own cultivation recently.

All other family affairs had been put on hold, and now the day had finally come.

As long as Jing Yan was alive, Zhao Dangyuan, along with most of the other family members, would not know peace.

And now, an assassin from Dark Night had finally arrived, and it was a Gold Medal Assassin at that.

This meant that Jing Yan’s time of death was imminent.

The terror of the Dark Night Gold Medal Killer made even Zhao Dangyuan, a practitioner of the Dao Spirit Realm, feel a chill down his spine.

It was said that the Gold Medal Assassins of Dark Night specialized in hunting down Dao Spirit Realm experts.

Such level assassins were extremely rare within the Dark Night Organization.

And the legendary Dark Night Aces were elusive, almost never witnessed.

Or rather, those who had seen a Dark Night Ace were already dead.

“How should I address this esteemed one?” Zhao Dangyuan bowed slightly and clasped his fists, his face filled with a humble smile.

“Patriarch Zhao, let’s dispense with the pleasantries, I’m not here to exchange courtesies with you,” said the assassin in a black mask, his aura sharp as a dagger, waving his hand dismissively at Zhao Dangyuan.

“Where is Jing Yan currently?” the person asked in a deep and cold voice.

“I have people watching day and night; I can confirm that at this moment, that little thief Jing Yan is within the Splendid Pill Tower of the South District Market.

Unless something unexpected happens, he should be on the fourth floor of the Splendid Pill Tower.

The Splendid Pill Tower has a total of five layers!

The fourth layer is where that thief usually practices.” Zhao Dangyuan hastily responded.

Although this Gold Medal Assassin’s attitude was very arrogant, Zhao Dangyuan didn’t mind it.

Originally, even a Bronze Medal Assassin hadn’t given Zhao Dangyuan much face, let alone the Gold Medal Assassin standing before him now!

“Hm, I’ve got it!” The Gold Medal Assassin nodded, “Tonight, Jing Yan will die!”

He had already set Jing Yan’s time of death.

After saying these words, the assassin’s figure shook slightly.

Then, he vanished within the room.

Even Zhao Dangyuan, a Dao Spirit Realm expert, did not detect how the other had disappeared.

The assassin’s concealment skills were truly terrifying.

“Worthy of being a Gold Medal Assassin specializing in the assassination of Dao Spirit Realm experts, today, Jing Yan is undoubtedly doomed!” Zhao Dangyuan’s eyes narrowed as he spoke in a low voice.

“That little beast Jing Yan actually warrants the Dark Night Gold Medal Assassin to take action personally; he deserves his fate,” the Zhao family elder said from nearby.

“No choice, that little beast has too much luck and is protected by the City Lord…

But this time, we do not need to pay an extra reward.

Dark Night failed our last commission, so this is just the completion of the mission.

We’ve already paid fifty thousand Spirit Stones, once the deed is done, we’ll pay the remaining fifty thousand Spirit Stones!” Zhao Dangyuan sneered viciously, slowly nodding.

“The last time, the Dark Night’s Bronze Medal Assassin was counter-killed by Jing Yan, those from Dark Night must be very angry as well.

Their assassins rarely miss their target,” the Zhao family elder said with a smile.

“Yes, if not for their anger, they wouldn’t have directly sent a Gold Medal Assassin to take action against Jing Yan personally,” Zhao Dangyuan’s gaze became sharp.

For Dark Night to send a Gold Medal Assassin to kill Jing Yan seemed like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, but that was irrelevant to the Zhao family; all they wanted was Jing Yan dead.

And after tonight, the news of Jing Yan’s death would spread throughout Donglin City.

With Jing Yan dead, could the Splendid Pill Tower continue to operate normally?

“Haha…

Hahaha…” Thinking of Jing Yan’s imminent death, Zhao Dangyuan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

At last, he could rid himself of this thorn in his side.

The night was as tranquil as still water.

Even in the busiest part of the South District Market, there were few martial artists on the streets, just the occasional few figures.

Yet the lights were still bright inside the Splendid Pill Tower.

Ever since its grand opening, it had been operating 24 hours a day.

Although there were fewer martial artists buying medicine at night, the sales volume could still reach over a thousand Spirit Stones.

If they encountered a large order, they could even hit the sales volume of several thousand Spirit Stones.

Making money, of course, was to be seized.

At this moment, a figure, ghost-like, appeared in a dark corner not far from the Splendid Pill Tower.

The man wore a black mask and his whole body was cloaked in dark robes, as if he were one with the darkness itself.

Even when warriors passed by him, they would not notice his presence.

He was one of the Gold Medal Assassins of the Dark Night, Falcon.

When he was with the Zhao Family, Falcon hadn’t had much interaction with Zhao Dangyuan.

He simply confirmed with Zhao Dangyuan the current whereabouts of Jing Yan.

In fact, he held disdain and dissatisfaction in his heart for being sent to Donglin City to assassinate a martial artist younger than twenty.

He had successfully assassinated two Dao Spirit Realm powerhouses before.

With his ability, he should be targeting those in the Dao Spirit Realm, yet now he was dispatching a young martial artist not even in his twenties.

Although this young martial artist was strong and had boundless potential, renowned as a genius, he was still, after all, just a martial artist in the Innate Realm.

Even if the organization believed that a Bronze Medal Assassin would have a hard time finishing off this kid called Jing Yan, they could have sent a Silver Medal Assassin!

But instead, they sent him, a Gold Medal Killer.

He couldn’t and had no power to change the organization’s decision.

He could only obey, come to Donglin City, and prepare to kill this kid named Jing Yan.

Complete the mission and leave immediately.

In such a small place as Donglin City, he had no interest in lingering any longer.

“Whoosh!” The shadow flickered lightly, soaring into the air.

A Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse!

This Dark Night Ace Assassin was clearly a Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse.

He flew through the air, reaching the fourth floor of the Splendid Pill Tower.

Then, he clung to the wall of the fourth floor of the Pill Tower.

No one saw this, and even the typical Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse might not notice Falcon’s figure.

“This building is not bad, the walls are sturdy, but they can’t stop me!” Falcon’s mouth curled slightly under his mask as a dark short sword suddenly appeared in his hand.

Primordial Energy surged, and a terrifying black glow erupted from the blade of the dark short sword.

Falcon thrust the short sword into the wall with force, and a cut appeared in the wall immediately.

His movements were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, a hole large enough for a person to pass through was carved into the wall.

The Splendid Pill Tower, when it was built, used the best materials, all of which were extremely sturdy.

Even an ordinary martial artist in the Innate Realm would struggle to damage them, but in front of a Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse, they were still no match.

Jing Yan, who was meditating with his eyes closed, wrinkled his brow slightly, then his eyes snapped open.

“Something’s wrong!”

Jing Yan sensed an extremely faint vibration.

During cultivation, Jing Yan’s senses were fully unleashed.

Cultivating the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill, his senses were already extremely keen, surpassing the majority of martial artists in the Innate Realm even before he had reached it, almost comparable to those in the Dao Spirit Realm.

Now that Jing Yan was in the Innate Middle Stage, nearing the Late Innate Stage, his senses had naturally improved a lot more.

Thus, although the vibration was very faint, Jing Yan still perceived it.

“Not good!”

“Whoosh!” Jing Yan instantly stood up and, with a flicker, rushed out of his room.

The moment he burst out of the room, he saw a dark shadow infiltrating through the opposite wall.

“Assassin?”

Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed as he recognized the familiar aura, the aura of a Dark Night Assassin.

A year ago, outside of Donglin City, Jing Yan had clashed with a Dark Night Assassin, a Bronze Medal Killer.

This time, though the assassin’s aura was concealed to the extreme, Jing Yan could still feel how much more terrifying this assassin was than the previous Bronze Medal Killer.

“Dao Spirit Realm?” A chill flashed through Jing Yan’s mind.

With a nine out of ten chance, the one who cut through the wall of the fourth floor of the Pill Tower was a mighty Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse.

“Whoosh!” Jing Yan didn’t dare to delay, facing a Dao Spirit Realm opponent, and moreover, a Dark Night Assassin, Jing Yan knew he had no chance of winning!
