Chapter 4054: Courting Death
Ling Han reflected on himself for a moment. Had he been too low-key?
Otherwise, how could someone like Han Yue dare to make threatening gestures at him? Whatever.
Ling Han ignored him, and merely closed his eyes to rest.
“Very good. Now that you know you can’t resist, you might as well give up resisting!” Han Yue said coldly.
Ling Han was rendered speechless. This guy had such a high opinion of himself that he was about to soar into the skies.
“Die!” Han Yue leaped over, and delivered a palm strike at the top of Ling Han’s head, intending to shatter his mind with a single strike.
Ling Han sat as still as a boulder, and it was only when Han Yue’s palm was about to strike him that he suddenly lashed out.
“There’s no need to resist,” Han Yue said coldly. However, a look of astonishment spread across his face as soon as he finished speaking.
Even though Ling Han’s attack had come later, and his speed looked pitifully slow, in truth, his palm had not even landed on Ling Han’s head, when the latter’s hand had already grabbed onto his throat.
How was this possible?
He had not even finished the thought, when he felt his whole body go soft. Instantly, he lost all his power.
Too terrifying, too terrifying. This guy’s strength was even stronger than Mo Yun. At least, he could still block a few moves from Mo Yun, but faced with Ling Han, he couldn’t even survive a single move.
He actually took the initiative to trifle with this kind of freak!
He was really courting death.
At this moment, Han Yue really wanted to cry. For better or worse, he was a prodigy ranked in the 2000s in the Galaxy Network. No matter which galaxy he was in, he could only be considered one of the top prodigies. Why did he keep encountering freaks that were innumerable times more freakish than him?
“S-spare me!” he forced out.
“If you were stronger just now, would you have spared me?” Ling Han countered calmly.
However, before Han Yue could even answer, Ling Han suddenly clenched his fist. Pa! Han Yue’s neck was snapped, and a burst of power surged into his mind, obliterating his spirit as well.
He already understood that those who entered the Battle God Palace would either die in the selection process, or become assassins of the Battle God Palace after passing. Thus, it was best for Han Yue to die, to avoid harming others.
Ling Han swung his arm and tossed Han Yue aside. He then sat down in a cross-legged position again. It was as if he were disconnected from the rest of the world.
“Interesting.” In the sky, a faint smile appeared on Wanhe’s face. Nothing that happened in this area could escape his senses.
When Han Yue charged towards Ling Han, he had initially wanted to stop him, but he also wanted to see the strength of the two of them. Thus, he chose to sit by and watch. He had not thought that Ling Han would be so strong. With a single strike, he had insta-killed Han Yue. “I really didn’t expect that two promising saplings would actually be chosen this time.”
“Hehe, the seed of the king of assassins should be one of the two.”
The assassination was still continuing.
Some succeeded, while others failed. Instead, they were killed by the guards who protected the target. This was a life-or-death competition.
Three days later, the time expired.
Wanhe’s voice rang out, “A total of 71 people have completed the mission. As for the others, all of them will be executed!”
“No!”
“I don’t want to die!”
“Please, I’m willing to do anything. Don’t let me die!”
Instantly, a chorus of pleading voices rang out.
But very quickly, these voices stopped abruptly. Clearly, it was Wanhe who had moved, and executed these people.
“Rest for a night, and the final round of selections will begin tomorrow,” Wanhe said again, then disappeared.
Only 71 people remained.
These people did not return to the cave to reunite. Tomorrow, they would all become competitors, and they could no longer trust anyone else.
The night passed in silence.
In the early morning, Ling Han decided to cultivate for a while first. Although the middle stage of the Core Formation Tier was mainly dependent on natural treasures to strengthen the Celestial Core, absorbing the power of heaven and earth was also effective, though the effefct
was negligible.
However, no matter how small it was, it was still improvement, and could not be wasted.
Wanhe appeared, telling everyone to gather.
“This is the final selection,” Wan He said. “Next, I will choose seven people as my target, and then assign nine people each to assassinate them.”
“In that case, there would be a total of seven groups… and one group would have eleven
people.”
“For assassins, success in the assassination would mean rising above the rest, and for the assassination targets, they would need to eliminate all the assassins before they could pass the test. As for the others… they would all be executed!”
“Understood?”
Hearing such rules, everyone frowned. If they were assigned as assassination targets, they would have to kill nine or ten to be able pass, so the pressure was naturally great.
But if he became an assassin, the pressure was actually not small either. He had to be the one to kill the target first to survive.
To put it bluntly, only one person in a group could survive.
In the first round, there were only 400 people left out of the 700 plus people, and the survival rate was 50%. In the first round, there were only 100 people left out of the 400 people, and the survival rate was only 20%. Now, only one person in very ten would remain, and the survival
rate was only 10%.
This was too cruel, wasn’t it?
However, Wan He didn’t give them any time to discuss at all, and he immediately started to
group them into groups.
“Now, I will first select the seven assassination targets.”
“You, you, you, you… and you!”
Wanhe used his hand to point at them one by one, and finally stopped in front of Ling Han.
The seven targets of assassination were chosen, and those who had not been chosen breathed a sigh of relief. As assassins, no matter what, the pressure on them would be slightly lighter. “Now, it’s the first set of assassins.” Wanhe began to assign them again, assigning nine people to the first set, then the second set, and the third set.
Because Ling Han was in the seventh group, the assassins in his group weren’t nine people,
but rather ten.
Most importantly, one of the assassins in this group was… Mo Yun!
When they discovered that Mo Yun had not been divided up for a long time, all the way until
the seventh group, the nine assassins of the seventh group all had pale faces, including Sima
Dong.
What was the point of continuing the game?
Who was Mo Yun’s match?
No, there was still a chance, and that was to kill Ling Han first. In that way, no matter how strong Mo Yun was, he would only be killed according to the rules.
“Alright, let’s begin!” Wanhe smiled. He loved to say the word “begin”, making him feel like he was an omnipotent and in control of everything.
Instantly, the assassins from the seven groups all charged towards their respective targets
like wolves and tigers. Whoever could be the first to kill their target would be able to survive.
Living was the most primitive, most ordinary, most basic desire, but at the same time, it was also the strongest desire.
Everyone exploded with a fighting spirit and battle prowess that was far stronger than usual. Their eyes were bloodshot. At this time, no matter who stood in their way, they would
mercilessly eliminate them.
‘I want to live!’ Shua, shua, shua! Sword light flashed, incomparably fierce.
Mo Yun was already on a killing spree, but his target was not Ling Han, but rather the
members of the seventh group.
Tragic wails rang out. After nine strikes, eight had fallen, and only one person was still alive.
Sima Dong.
However, he was also having a hard time. He had been stabbed in the back, and the wound had penetrated deep into his internal organs. He could clearly see that there was still Sword Qi tyrannizing his body. If he could not expel the Sword Qi, he would still be unable to avoid
death.
Hiss, Mo Yun was actually extremely powerful!
When the others saw this scene, they all broke out in a cold sweat. Thankfully, they were not
in the same group as Mo Yun.
Mo Yun did not pursue any further. Instead, he looked towards Ling Han, and showed a cruel
smile.
