Chapter 1287 - 1287: Eliminate the Remaining Four Assassin Units Outside

After a while, the meeting ended with the Big Chief of the Assassin Force ordering the First to the Fifth Units to handle that problem because they were the strongest. The chiefs of the five units were all advanced Great Deity Stage Martial Masters. And the assassins in their units were all at least Initial Great Deity Stage Martial Masters. Therefore, the first five units were very important to the Dark Crescent Secret Force.

However, the Sixth to Tenth Units were not inferior to the first five units. But they were specialists in various professions, such as blacksmiths, apothecaries, sorcerers, beast tamers, physicians, and so on.

As for the Eleventh to Nineteenth Units, they did everything from simple to difficult missions, such as those hired by the Men Clan.

In a corridor within the Dark Crescent Secret Force...

"I don't think the words of the Thirteenth Unit Chief are trustworthy at all. Moreover, he has been acting strangely, different from usual. Do you think so?" Seventh Unit Chief said as he walked out of the meeting room with the other four unit chiefs.

"I think the same as you. Twelfth Unit Chief and I are quite close, so I tried to contact him, but there was no reply," another unit chief replied. He also felt suspicious of Lou-Seng's words.

"We can't do much about this, except to keep a close eye on Thirteenth Unit Chief. I feel like he has some hidden agenda." The Seventh Unit Chief still insisted on believing that Lou-Seng was acting strangely and had something up his sleeve.

Umm!

Inside the private secret room, in the Thirteenth Unit's area…

Unit Chief!!!

"I have something for you guys to do. Right now, our force is in chaos, so I want you to take the rest of our unit to secretly investigate the other units. Find out everything they're doing and don't let them know!"

Zheng-Fu only relied on Lou-Seng's memories to get there, but he did not really know everything. So, he had to order the members of Lou-Seng's unit to find information for him, using the unrest as an excuse.

Hah!

Yes, sir, Unit Chief!

Although his subordinates were confused and suspicious, they did not ask anything because this was the unit chief's order. Moreover, it was not the first time that their unit chief had ordered them to do so, and it was not unusual in this force either. Previously, many units had also sent their members to secretly investigate other units. Since the assassin profession was highly competitive in terms of benefits, they always competed for achievements.

However, this time, they did not know that their unit chief was not the same Lou-Seng who wanted the information of other units just to make more achievements, but Zheng-Fu, who tricked them into getting the information to destroy them.

After ordering all the remaining members of the unit to go on a mission, it was time for Zheng-Fu to follow the next step of his plan. That was, setting up the nets of spell traps in various areas that everyone in the force could pass through, especially the entrances and exits and secret passages that Lou-Seng knew. And he had to finish everything quickly because the time of the area-blocking spell he set up would expire in a few hours.

In a dense forest near Sang Clan's business area...

"So strange! Why can't I contact the base? Or is there something wrong going on there?" A tall middle-aged man sitting on a log with many people sitting around spoke up uncomfortably and worriedly. After they had completed their first mission, he thought of reporting their achievement back to his unit at the base to report to the force.

However, when he used the signal jade to contact them, there was no response, as if the destination where the message had been sent did not exist. This middle-aged man was one of the unit chiefs who had been sent out on the mission with Lou-Seng.

"What happened, Unit Chief? Why are you making that face? We were able to complete the mission very well, weren't we?" One of the assassins asked curiously when he saw his unit chief's expression change. He should have been smiling happily that they had completed the mission, but the unit chief looked very anxious.

"It's nothing. There was just a minor communication problem. You guys should eat your food. We'll have to go on the next mission in a while!"

The unit chief tried to calm himself down. He knew that the Dark Crescent Secret Force had many advanced masters. If anything had happened, there must have been some kind of signal. There was no way the entire force could be dealt with in such a short period. So, in order not to worry his subordinates and affect the mission, he had to comfort everyone and pretend that nothing had happened.

Umm!

Of course, everyone had the right to be suspicious. But they trusted the unit chief, so they did not ask any more questions and continued eating their food. After all, they still had another mission to do.

However, there were not only them there. Aside from the assassins of the Dark Crescent Secret Force, not far away, another person was hiding and staring at them with a variety of emotions. If other people saw that person, they would not know who it was. But if it were Zheng-Fu and people close to Zheng-Fu, they would know immediately that that person was the clone figure of the Emerald Turtle Monster Deity.

Before Zheng-Fu disguised himself and entered the Dark Crescent Secret Force base, he not only assigned a clone figure of himself, but he also secretly ordered the clone figure of Emerald Turtle Monster Deity to leave the city. This was because he was going to use the information obtained from the assassin force base to track down the other assassin units that went outside the base to carry out missions.

He could do this because the blocking spell that he created could not only block communication but could also track and find the location of the assassin units that went out on a mission. Therefore, Zheng-Fu immediately knew where the other four assassin units were.

This unit was closest to the Emerald Turtle Monster Deity clone figure. So, Zheng-Fu ordered it to deal with this unit first. From what he knew, this unit was the Twelfth Unit that a unit chief in the Seventh Unit chief group had mentioned.

Flop!

Hah?

Who's that?!

Although the Twelfth Unit Chief was not the strongest, he was a Great Deity Stage master, so his senses and perceptions were very sharp. Also, as an assassin, he had been well-trained in this skill. Therefore, when he sensed movement, he immediately stood up and prepared himself, shouting out in a fierce voice.

Flop! Flop! Flop!

Quink! Quink! Quink!

Of course, the others in the unit were also well-trained. Although they did not have as good a psychic sense as their unit chief, they were heavily trained to respond and adapt. When they saw the unit chief getting into a fighting stance, they did not hesitate, drawing their swords and preparing to fight as well.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The other party did not make a sound but slowly walked out from the shadows behind a large bush, before revealing his true figure to the assassins of the Twelfth Unit clearly.

"Who are you? What do you want here?!"

The Twelfth Unit Chief was not rash and immediately attacked the mysterious person when the other party appeared. He asked first because he could feel that this mysterious person was very strong and terrifying. Just the aura that he released made him shiver all over.

...................

Thump! Thump! Thump!

But the mysterious figure still did not answer; it just walked closer to the Twelfth Unit with the same cold and calm face, before it stopped when both sides were only a few pings apart.

Damn it!

"Since you didn't answer and looked down on us, then blame yourself for being too arrogant!"

Finally, the Twelfth Unit Chief could not stand this mysterious person's coldness and indifference anymore. He was the unit chief of the famous assassin force that everyone feared, but now he was the one who was afraid, so he could not calm down anymore. In order to suppress his fear, the Twelfth Unit Chief did not hesitate to rush at the mysterious person with all his energy without holding back.

"Kill him, Unit Chief!"

"He dared to insult us like this, don't let him survive!"

"I bet Unit Chief will kill that bastard with a single blow!"

"Who would dare to bet with you? Just by watching, you know who will win. But if I were to make a bet, I would bet half a blow would be enough!"

At first, the assassins felt anxious and uneasy when they saw their unit chief standing with a serious expression. But when they saw that the person who appeared was only a young man in his late twenties, they relaxed a lot. Not only did that young man look youthful, but the energy waves he released were also weak. That made them talk and cheer for their unit chief joyfully.

Huh!

Flap!

Slash!

Thud!!!

However, everything was not as they thought. As the Twelfth Unit Chief rushed forward with his weapon in hand and prepared to slash down to cut the young man's body in half, suddenly a sharp gust of wind shot through his torso. And that made the scenery that the Twelfth Unit Chief saw in front of him extremely terrifying to him.

Because in front of him, his lower half was running toward the young man without realizing that his upper body was still floating before his upper body fell to the ground with a coughing sound, and a large amount of blood gushed out of his mouth. The Twelfth Unit Chief died without even knowing how he died.

Unit Chief!!!

No... No way!

U... Unit Chief is dead!
