Chapter 1777: True Love

Translator: WQL  Editor: Aleem

The terror of an assassin lay in that he could launch a fatal strike to his target at the most unexpected moment when the latter didn’t take precautions against him. The more terrifying the assassin was, the more relaxed and fragile his target would be before the latter was attacked.

As for an assassin, the opportunity was even more important than the gap between two powers.

As long as an assassin could launch a fatal strike at the right moment, he could definitely defeat his target. From ancient times, many famous powers were killed by commoners when they didn’t take any precautions. On the battlefield, 1,000 assassins might not be able to defeat a famous general. Because they seized the opportunity, they could make what the others couldn’t make.

Undoubtedly, as for Qian Changqing, Zhang Tie was the most terrifying assassin. This was also why Zhang Tie’s body-changing immortal bloodline and soul-reading secret skill made everyone scared in Taixia Country. As long as Zhang Tie wanted to kill someone, it was impossible for the opponent to guard against him. Think about it, a powerful guy who could become anyone on your side and lurk beside you. As long as you leaked a loophole, you would face a fatal strike.

Facing such a powerful opponent, unless you entered secluded cultivation forever or hid somewhere remote and didn’t contact anybody, you would be assassinated sooner or later. Even sage-level knights couldn’t stay alert all the year round while releasing their protective battle qi for the sake of raid.

Qian Changqing was a fire immortal general, a standard semi-sage level knight. Even so, he still didn’t know why “General Manager Si” would kill him. Actually, he had almost been dead when “General Manager Si” could launch a fatal strike towards him.

Qian Changqing died of great aggrievance. As a semi-sage level knight, he might be powerful or have a lot of ways to escape. Perhaps he had his semi-sage realm or was determined to be a supreme-level immortal general or immortal emperor… However, all these were not important anymore; because Zhang Tie didn’t spare any chance for him to give full play to his talents.

This led to a time-honored truth——To be alive is more important than anything else!

Zhang Tie moved as fast as a lightning bolt. In a split second, Qian Changqing was killed.

After killing Qian Changqing, Zhang Tie triggered his Purgatory Samsara Method at his full efforts as he started to refine Qian Changqing’s fire chakra as fast as he could.

As for human opponents, Zhang Tie would not refine their chakras after killing them; however, given the information that Zhang Tie got from the head of “General Manager Si”, members of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace especially immortal generals headed by Qian Changqing were even more brutal than demons over these years. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn’t show any mercy to these people.

After death, human immortal generals’ chakras would gradually dissipate. However, because Qian Changqing’s fire chakra was completely locked by Zhang Tie, it dissipated slowly.

Zhang Tie refined and absorbed Qian Changqing’s fire chakra at a fast speed. As a result, Qian Changqing’s fire chakra lost less than 10%. Zhang Tie absorbed all the rest as soon as possible.

A nearly complete fire chakra was a tonic for Zhang Tie. It was the first fire chakra that Zhang Tie absorbed after promoting to a heavenly knight.

Soon after Qian Changqing was killed and the Golden-Soul Rune Virus in his brains disappeared, someone else would sense it for sure. Therefore, Zhang Tie had to race against time.

Soon after absorbing the fire chakra of Qian Changqing, Zhang Tie had looked at the sacrificial altar. As he ran his spiritual energy, one finger of each immortal general of Yin-Yang Sect inside the sacrificial altar had been broken by an invisible needle. Their blood didn’t drop onto the ground; instead, they flew off weirdly and fell onto the Golden-Soul Rune Virus on their foreheads.

After touching their own blood, all the Golden-Soul Rune Virus gave out bright glow before entering their foreheads in an instant.

Given the information that Zhang Tie got from “General Manager Si”, all the immortal generals of Yin-Yang Sect would wake up in about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, because they became the owners of themselves, their Golden-Soul Rune Virus was also detoxified automatically.

If Zhang Tie was a fierce and ambitious person, it was the best moment for him to completely control these immortal generals of Yin-Yang Sect; however, Zhang Tie didn’t do that; because it was totally meaningless for him to do that.

After doing all these, Zhang Tie flashed to the front of Xue Yuxiu.

Lying on the ground, Xue Yuxiu had blood all over. Qian Changqing didn’t show any mercy on her because he had slept with her. As of now, the greater part of her bones had been broken; besides, her guts were severely injured.

When he came to the Xue Yuxiu’s side, Zhang Tie sensed that she was dying as her vitality was elapsing at a terrifying speed. However, this woman still watched Zhang Tie.

“You…you’re not…General Manager Si…” the woman said faintly. At the same time, blood flew out of her mouth heavily, making her look pretty abject.

She had already seen how Zhang Tie killed Qian Changqing and saved the immortal generals of Yin-Yang Sect. Although she didn’t know how Zhang Tie made it, she was sure that Zhang Tie was not a member of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. Additionally, he meant to not harm Yin-Yang Sect. Otherwise, Zhang Tie would never have detoxified Golden-Soul Rune Virus for them.

“Hmm, I’m not General Manager Si. How do you feel now…” Zhang Tie squatted down as he helped Xue Yuxiu sit against the wall.

At this moment, Zhang Tie didn’t hate or despise this woman anymore; because he realized the reason why she suddenly attacked Qian Changqing.

Zhang Tie let out a sigh inside. Because of love, this woman was full of hatred and degenerated to a demon; because of love, this woman suddenly awoke from sin and didn’t feel regretful dying. She was poor, hateful and admirable.

Since this woman started an attack, she had not thought about surviving on.

Xue Yuxiu clenched Zhang Tie’s hand using her last strength as she stammered, “My Golden-Soul Rune Virus…has started to destroy my guts…I’m going to die…”

Zhang Tie found the Golden-Soul Rune Virus in her brain was absorbing her spiritual energy crazily while the dense runes of the Golden-Soul Rune Virus started to spread over her brain at a pretty high speed like a virus.

“I don’t know who you are…but…if possible…please give me a favor…” the woman said faintly. Only after saying one more sentence, she had become much weaker as she started to shake and crumble like a burning candle in wind.

“Go ahead!”

“After my death…don’t leave my corpse here…I…I want to…stay with Brother Luo…”

“Where’s your Brother Luo?” Zhang Tie asked her calmly.

“Spread…spread my ash into the Sunshineprospect River in Night Heavens Big Domain…where I could stay with Brother Luo forever…I’ve…I’ve been waiting for this day for so many years…” Xue Yuxiu revealed a tearful smile as she mentioned Brother Luo, “I know you can do this…This…this is my compensation.” After saying that, Xue Yuxiu took off a bloody space-teleportation finger ring and foisted it into Zhang Tie’s hand. Closely after that, she held Zhang Tie’s hand tightly, urging, “Please, please…promise me…”

“Well, I promise you!” Zhang Tie nodded as he put away her finger ring, asking, “Why did you do that…”

“He’s…he’s the son of Brother Luo and me…Brother Luo named him…Huai…Huaiyu…”

After saying that, Xue Yuxiu drooped her hand suddenly. She was dead…

Zhang Tie lightly helped her close her eyes.

“Beloved ones are rare in the world…” Zhang Tie sighed as he stood up with a complex mood. Brother Luo didn’t live in vain as he had the privilege to meet a woman who deeply loved him.

After standing up, Zhang Tie looked around. Closely after that, he used his conjuration as Xue Yuxiu started to float in the air. Zhang Tie then pointed at her as an extremely scorching true dragon flame flew out of his finger.

Covering Xue Yuxiu’s corpse, the true dragon flame instantly turned her body into a small pile of livid ashes.

When Xue Yuxiu’s body disappeared, the moisture in the air was condensed into crystal ice. Her ashes directly flew into some icy beads in the air and were sealed inside. Closely after that, those beads fell into Zhang Tie’s hand.

Zhang Tie reached out his hand and took those icy beads. Closely after that, he put those beads into his portable container.

Although being made of water, those beads were as solid as eternal fantasy ice. As long as they were not put above the fire, they would remain unchanged for many years. Zhang Tie could definitely take them with him.

Meanwhile, two space-teleportation finger rings flew out of the pit where Qian Changqing’s corpse was in and fell into Zhang Tie’s hand too, one contained No-Hatred Tortoise of Yin-Yang Sect, the other was Qian Changqing’s private property.

After putting away the two finger rings, Zhang Tie advanced towards the gate of the sacrificial altar. When he reached near the gate, Zhang Tie had recovered the look of “Donder” the one who made every man self-abased.

With a “hum”, the pair of battle axes returned to Zhang Tie’s side.

As the gate leak a minor gap, the pair of battle axes had flown out of the gate through it. There were guards of Cyan-Dragon Palace who looked amazed standing outside the sacrificial altar. Besides, two immortal generals in black robe had just arrived there flurriedly…

Before these people uttered any voice and seen the situation facing the sacrificial altar, the pair of battle axes had already swept over the area outside the gate as fast as lightning bolts, shattering all the people outside there into pieces. This pair of battle axes were sharp weapons. With Zhang Tie’s control, they carried terrifying and irresistible lethality…

When the gate was completely open and Zhang Tie came to the tunnel outside the sacrificial altar, he saw nobody alive…
