Chapter 609: Assassination

Chapter 609: Chapter 609: Assassination

A strange glint flashed in Bartoloni’s eyes. "He actually wants the Elf King to be his consort. This Kahn is truly audacious!"

The Elf King was the most beautiful woman in the Andoras World, as well as the King of the Elf Kingdom, a Divine-level Professional Skill User who ruled her nation.

In her youth, the Elf King had also been an Adventurer. She traveled the world, meeting many companions along the way. Countless powerful figures fell for her beauty.

The four great powerhouses—the Shadow King, Hunter I, the Prophet, and the Dragon Emperor—were all among her admirers. In addition, many other Legendary Level experts were smitten with her as well.

Back then, the last king of the Greenstein Kingdom had tried to forcibly capture the Elf King to make her his Princess Consort, angering both her and Hunter I. They ultimately joined forces to overthrow the Greenstein Kingdom and establish the Saint Arman Kingdom.

However, the Elf King accepted no one’s courtship. She eventually returned to the Elf Kingdom, inherited the throne, and became its new King.

Although the Elf King hadn’t left the Elf Kingdom in decades, she was still known as the most beautiful woman in the world. The Elf Clan, after all, was a famously long-lived race. The current Elf King was not even a hundred years old and thus still quite young.

By publicly announcing his intention to take the Elf King as his consort, Shu Feng had instantly offended countless powerful figures across the Andoras World.

The Pope said slowly, "His Majesty Kahn, I am acquainted with the Elf King. How about I help mediate things between you?"

The Shadow King of the Shadow Kingdom and Kahn, Shu Feng’s current identity, were mortal enemies. The Shadow King possessed a thieving Divine Technique and would undoubtedly hunt Shu Feng down. Likewise, Shu Feng would not spare the Shadow King. The conflict between them was irreconcilable.

However, there was no irreconcilable hatred between the Elf Kingdom and Shu Feng. With a Dark Elf as Shu Feng’s Queen, as long as it was an established fact, the Elf Kingdom could only swallow its pride and would not rashly wage war against the Wind Kingdom.

Shu Feng said calmly, "His Holiness the Pope, I cannot allow anyone to insult my Queen so casually. Let the coronation continue."

It was nearly impossible to win the Elf King’s heart through normal means. After all, she was a powerhouse who had seen all the top-level geniuses of the Andoras World.

"On behalf of the great Skill God, I crown you. From this day forward, you are the King of the Wind Kingdom!"

The Pope’s gaze sharpened slightly. He held up a Crown, placed it on Shu Feng’s head, and completed the coronation.

’The king of a nation!’

The moment Shu Feng put on the Crown, he felt the knot of Kahn’s soul begin to slowly dissolve. A faint smile touched his lips.

The rest of the coronation ceremony proceeded smoothly, without any further incident.

「The next morning.」

On a luxurious, large bed, Shu Feng opened his eyes to see the two great beauties, Hilea and Camilla, lying beside him. A warmth spread through his heart.

Within Shu Feng’s soul, the knot of Kahn’s soul immediately began to dissolve at a rapid pace.

’To become the king of a nation and live a life of decadent luxury! That wish has been fulfilled!’

A look of satisfaction flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. Once Kahn’s soul was fully integrated, he would be able to use the power of his Source Energy and Holy Soul to strengthen his own Holy Soul, causing it to grow explosively once more.

From a faint shadow behind Shu Feng, a completely transparent dagger shot out, silently piercing into his body.

BANG!

Inside the Base Space, the body of a Dragon Hunting Dog suddenly exploded, splattering blood everywhere.

’A Thief Skill... Blood Burst! A Divine-level Thief... The Shadow King!’

The thought flashed through Shu Feng’s mind.

The Shadow King hadn’t waited for Shu Feng to come challenge him in the Shadow Holy City. Instead, he had taken the initiative, appearing here and now to assassinate him. This was far beyond Shu Feng’s expectations.

In a near instant, the transparent dagger struck like lightning, stabbing nine times, each blow sinking deep into Shu Feng’s heart.

Shu Feng’s body, which possessed terrifying Defense Power, was like tofu before the transparent dagger, completely unable to resist its piercing strikes.

This was the Thief Skill, Nine-Blade Stab, a terrifying assassination technique that could strike nine times in an instant.

Inside the Base Space, the heart of a Nine-headed Dragon Hunting Dog was pierced. Black gas coiled from its body, and under the gas’s corrosion, it dissolved into nine pools of pus on the ground.

The transparent dagger was also enchanted with a virulent poison attack Skill.

The Shadow King’s method was that of a true thief: attacking the very instant Shu Feng’s guard was at its lowest. His attack was not only vicious and deadly, but also laced with a terrifyingly potent poison.

Even an ordinary Peak Demigod whose power far surpassed the Shadow King’s would be instantly killed if they let their guard down for a moment.

"Die!"

A murderous glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes as he viciously backhanded a strike at the Shadow King behind him.

The Shadow King flicked his wrist, sending two black Flying Blades shooting toward Camilla and Hilea.

For the Shadow King to dare an assassination at this particular moment meant he had conducted meticulous reconnaissance and prepared countless contingency plans.

"Impressive! Shadow King, you truly are impressive. A pity you chose the wrong enemy!"

Shu Feng gave a cold grin. With a swat of his hand, he knocked the two black Flying Blades aside. Then, with a mere thought, he activated his Summoning Technique.

Ripples of light shimmered, and Demon King Gall appeared. Its terrifying vertical pupil swiveled, instantly locking onto the Shadow King. Three black pupils surfaced within the eye as it activated the Divine Technique: Eye of Destruction.

"The Void Demon King! Kahn, you’re in league with the Void Demon King! The Skill God and the Snake of Fear will never forgive you!"

The moment the Shadow King sensed Demon King Gall’s terrifying aura, his eyes flashed with Fear and Despair. He instantly activated the Divine Technique, Shadow Jump, in an attempt to escape.

The Shadow King was only a Divine-level Professional Skill User, his power roughly equivalent to an Early-Stage Demigod. It was only by relying on the bizarre and terrifying burst of his Thief Skills that his Destructive Power seemed so immense. Against the Void Demon King, he had absolutely no chance of victory. His only option was to flee.

"Fool! Shadow Manipulation!"

Shu Feng grinned coldly and instantly activated his Shadow Manipulation Skill. The surrounding shadows bizarrely vanished, creating a Shadowless Space.

Under the gaze of Demon King Gall’s Eye of Destruction, the Shadow King’s body began to crumble and disintegrate, inch by inch.

"Shadow Clone!"

The Shadow King’s body blurred and suddenly shattered, dissolving into a fleeting shadow that instantly dispersed.

Nine identical Shadow Kings shot off in nine different directions.
