The handsome, blond-haired, blue-eyed young man was the Pitch-Black Hand, the most terrifying assassin from the Slaughter Angel Net, one of the three major assassin networks in the Blue Star Underground World.

Over a hundred politicians from various nations had died at the hands of the Pitch-Black Hand. They had even assassinated a lofty Spirit Venerable Realm Powerhouse before. In the Dark Realm, the very name of the Pitch-Black Hand struck terror into people’s hearts; everyone feared being targeted by them.

"Sit!"

The leader of the Pitch-Black Hand smiled as he sat down in the main seat.

Everyone else took their seats.

"I’ve gathered you all here today to assassinate Shu Feng, the man at the top of the Void Demon Hunting List. He is a peerless genius who condensed a Sixth Layer of Phenomenon when he advanced to the Spirit Sect Realm."

"If the assassination is successful, I will receive the ritual to become a Void Demon Duke. I can promise you here and now that once I evolve into a Void Demon Duke, I will perform the Void Demon Noble transformation ritual for all of you, allowing you to become Void Demon Nobles of the rank of Count or higher."

"Furthermore, within the Little World I possess, all of you can be granted your own lands, becoming Dukes who rule over your own small states!"

The leader of the Pitch-Black Hand sat down, smiled faintly, and made his promise.

As soon as he spoke, a fervent glint flashed in the eyes of everyone present.

These assassins were all figures who operated in Blue Star’s Dark Realm. The vast majority of them didn’t care about the fate of humanity on Blue Star. They only looked out for themselves.

A Void Demon Count was a powerhouse at the Spirit Venerable Realm Level, with a lifespan of several thousand, or even tens of thousands of years. As long as the Void Demon Clan could afford the price, they were naturally willing to work for them.

The reason the powerhouses in the Pitch-Black Hand hadn’t defected to the Void Demon Clan before was because their offer was too low. They were only willing to transform them into Demons.

Although Demons also possessed immense power and long lifespans, their status within the Void Demon Clan was extremely low. Furthermore, their evolutionary potential was poor, making them completely incomparable to the Void Demon Nobles.

To put it bluntly, even when these assassins and other figures of Blue Star’s Dark Realm wanted to be lapdogs for the Void Demon Clan, the Void Demons themselves were somewhat disdainful. Even a genius like the Blood Demon Xue Honghong, formerly of Shuijing High School, was merely a Demon, which just went to show how difficult it was to obtain the status of a Void Demon Noble.

"We are willing to die for you, Association Leader!"

Everyone spoke with the utmost respect.

Seeing this, a trace of satisfaction appeared in the Pitch-Black Hand leader’s eyes. "Shu Feng’s own strength is formidable, and his survival abilities are also extremely strong. According to our analysis, he has mastered the Hero Summoner’s Legendary Skill, Blood Contract! It will be very difficult to kill him in one go. We must be prepared to kill him more than twenty times."

"Although Shu Feng has only just advanced to the Spirit Sect Realm, his combat power is definitely at the Grandmaster Peak. It will be very difficult to kill him in a direct confrontation. We must force him into a situation from which he cannot escape."

"Shu Feng is a sentimental person! Therefore, our targets are his friends and family. The primary targets are his parents."

"The Yuanhai Shu Family is a newly risen Noble Family. Their shallow foundation and lack of manpower are their greatest weaknesses."

"Although the Li Noble Family has pledged allegiance to the Yuanhai Shu Family, the Li Family doesn’t have many experts either. They are nothing to be afraid of!"

"Vice President Mu, you will take Numbers 1 through 10 and prepare to kidnap Shu Feng’s parents."

The leader of the Pitch-Black Hand gave the order with a faint smile, his analysis calm and collected.

The burly man said, "Yes, Association Leader!"

The leader of the Pitch-Black Hand said, "Vice President Bina, you are to find a way to get close to Shu Feng and win his trust."

"Yes, Association Leader!"

The seductive, voluptuous beauty gave a flirtatious smile, and waves of bewitching Magic Power radiated from her body.

Several of the male assassins gulped and lowered their heads, not daring to meet her gaze. Vice President Bina was not a peerless beauty—in terms of looks, she couldn’t even compare to Zhong Jietong—but she was a master of various Top Level Charm Arts. Countless men had been mesmerized by her, becoming her devoted slaves, only to be drained completely dry of everything they had.

Previously, one of their members had gotten involved with Bina. In less than a year, she had drained him dry of his money, Spiritual Power, and vitality, and he died silently somewhere outside.

"You dare move against my family? Pitch-Black Hand, you’ve got some serious nerve! Let’s have a fair and open battle!!"

Ripples shimmered in the air as Shu Feng stepped directly out of the void. His fist, accompanied by a sonic boom, tore through the air and shot toward the back of the Pitch-Black Hand’s leader.

BANG!!

An incredibly bizarre, black, scale-like Spiritual Membrane materialized, blocking Shu Feng’s fist.

As Shu Feng’s fist struck the black scales, he immediately felt an eruption of a strange, twisting Mysterious Power that began to warp, pull, and deflect his own power bit by bit.

But Shu Feng’s Power was simply too terrifying. With a single punch, he pierced through the black scales and slammed into the back of the Pitch-Black Hand’s leader, punching clean through his chest from behind.

An incredibly strange ripple appeared, and a Wooden Puppet inscribed with countless Profound Mysterious Curse Seals materialized. It instantly exploded, scattering into innumerable fragments.

At almost the same instant, Hassina appeared from the void and slashed out with her sword. Accompanied by a series of terrifying dragon roars, her strike shot directly toward Vice President Mu.

Caught completely off guard, Vice President Mu frantically channeled his Spiritual Power. His muscles bulged, transforming him into a two-meter-tall muscle-bound freak as he threw himself forward, shattering the table.

Hassina’s sword struck Vice President Mu’s back. A terrifying burst of Sword Qi erupted, carving a wound so deep his bone was visible and sending blood spurting out.

Luna, clad in the silver Legendary Equipment [Rabbitman’s Hope] that barely covered her vital areas, leaped out of the void. In an instant, she appeared before Vice President Bina and slashed at her with her sword.

Vice President Bina’s pretty face contorted. She frantically channeled her Spiritual Power, and snake-like Spiritual Membranes, each bearing the face of a man, emerged from her body.

These snake-like Spiritual Membranes were formed from the condensed power of Spirit Sect Realm powerhouses whom Vice President Bina had drained of their essence, spirit, and Spiritual Power. There were nine of them in total, and their Defense Power was terrifying.

Luna’s sword descended. An incomparably sharp Sword Aura erupted, instantly shattering all nine snake-like Spiritual Membranes one by one. She then cut Vice President Bina in half at the waist. A terrifying Sword Qi burst forth, frantically shredding Bina’s life force.

The Rabbitman Assassination Sword was a Swordsmanship technique taught by a terrifying powerhouse to his beloved pet. This Swordsmanship specialized in assassination; once a strike landed, its Sword Qi contained a terrifying, lethal power designed to ensure a kill.
