- Online Game : God Level Assasin, I am The Shadow!
- GTA Chapter 127
Devil City, night!
In the most luxurious ‘Yufenghua’ villa district of Devil City.
Around one of the villas, two security teams armed with firearms were in the process of changing shifts.
“Finally done for the day. Hopefully, I can reach level 11 tonight.”
“Dream on. The experience needed from level 10 to 11 is more than what it took to go from levels 1 to 10 combined…”
“Doesn’t matter. I earned five hundred days of lifespan today. Back in the game, I can buy two pieces of gold-tier gear, and grinding will be a breeze.”
“Why gear and not a skill book? Skill books give stable combat power.”
“What do you know? Gear can be resold later, but skill books are a one-time thing.”
“Whatever, man. Another two days’ pay, and once I’ve got half a set of gold gear, I’m out. Grinding for lifespan in the game is way faster than this grind.”
“That’s because you’ve got a gold-tier talent. Meanwhile, my talent’s only silver. I have to tread carefully when grinding…”
These security team members were from an international security company.
Some were from Daxia, while others were of different nationalities, originally operating throughout Southeast Asia.
After the Forsaken God Game’s arrival, they found themselves stranded in Devil City. Using special channels, they obtained weapons and gear and were subsequently employed by the Chu family.
As the previous squad of six wrapped up and drove away with laughs, the newly assigned six members took their positions around the villa grounds, with two stationed on the balcony, scanning the surroundings.
With this formation, any incident would be swiftly noticed and responded to by the other five members.
But…
That was in the past.
A hidden figure had already infiltrated the villa grounds.
Despite one of the six possessing level 2 anti-stealth capabilities…
It was clear that this petite figure’s stealth level far surpassed level 2!
If Qin Feng were present, he would recognize the figure—a small, lithe girl in tight-fitting black leather armor, moving gracefully through the villa courtyard.
It was none other than Gui Ling, the Blade of the Yellow Springs.
Yet, Gui Ling looked quite different from when Qin Feng had last seen her.
Her skin had turned pale, bone blades extended from the gaps in her fingers, and a pair of small white horns adorned her head—this was the ‘Yellow Springs Demon’ form unlocked upon reaching her second tier as the Blade of the Yellow Springs!
In this form, her exclusive weapon transformed into bone blades, granting her increased attack power and a passive level 2 stealth boost.
With this, Gui Ling’s stealth level reached level 4!
The small horns atop her head might have appeared cute to Qin Feng…
But her actions at this moment were anything but ‘cute.’
She raised a hand and activated her exclusive skill, ‘Gaze of the Yellow Springs.’
This skill plunged surrounding individuals into a hallucination, showing them only what they expected to see…
The duration depended on the difference in mental attributes between Gui Ling and her targets.
If used on Qin Feng, it would only last 0.2-0.3 seconds.
But for these security guards, who had hardly extracted any levels or attributes into reality, it would last at least four to five seconds!
In truth, even three seconds was more than enough for Gui Ling.
Under the influence of ‘Gaze of the Yellow Springs,’ the six armed guards saw nothing unusual.
In their eyes, the villa courtyard remained peaceful and undisturbed!
In most situations, this skill wouldn’t have much utility.
But in an assassination scenario like this, it was a fearsome weapon!
Swoosh…
Swoosh…
In the span of just three seconds, Gui Ling darted between the guards, using her bone blades to silently dispatch all six.
Blood dripped from her bone blades as she resumed stealth and stepped quietly toward the villa’s interior…
…
Inside the villa’s basement.
Dongfang Yue, her husband Chu Kunshan, and their son were gathered.
The portly Chu Kunshan grinned, “The message has been relayed to Shadow through official channels. We should hear back soon.”
Dongfang Yue also smiled. “That petty man—he traveled all the way from Jianghai to Devil City just to kill Qian Shishi. There’s no way he’ll let this slight go after those thugs attacked his hideout.”
“With Nanhang’s planning, all the Black Dragon Hall operatives went offline, leaving Old Zhang’s men with no targets. I don’t believe that man can swallow his pride!”
Chu Kunshan took a puff of his cigarette, chuckling, “Shadow must have over a thousand years’ worth of tradable lifespan. Once he’s out of the way, we can purchase a hideout ourselves. I’ve heard they can be extracted into reality, eliminating the need for security personnel.”
Dongfang Yue nodded gracefully. “Let’s hope everything goes smoothly. Then, we can capture more of those turning eighteen soon, take their lifespan, and even keep a herd of ‘pigs’ to provide for us…”
Suddenly, Chu Kunshan’s phone rang.
Noticing it was from his older brother, Chu Datou, a senior military official, he frowned and picked up.
What followed was a tirade. “You idiot! How did our Chu family produce such a moron? You’re trying to lure Shadow into an explosion at a fireworks factory? Which genius suggested this plan?”
Hearing this, Chu Nanhang frowned.
I thought it was a flawless plan, and you call me a genius fool?
Chu Kunshan hesitated. “Big brother… how did you know?”
Chu Datou sneered, “You had officials relay messages to Shadow. Did you think I wouldn’t know? I’ve already sent people to the factory to round up your men and taken care of the thugs.”
“Shadow is of strategic importance to Daxia. Orders from the top are to protect him and maintain good relations! But you—picking a fight with him?”
“I know what you’ve been up to lately.”
“You really think, now that the Forsaken God Game is here, lifespan is what matters most?”
Chu Kunshan and Dongfang Yue exchanged confused glances.
“Isn’t lifespan the most important thing?” Chu Kunshan asked.
Chu Datou laughed coldly. “Nonsense. Strength is what matters! With power, lifespan follows. Without strength, even a long lifespan will be stolen!”
“Instead of growing stronger in-game, you waste time collecting lifespan in reality? Are you out of your mind?”
“In any case, leave Shadow alone.”
“And watch yourselves. Word has it that Mr. Ji is planning to make a move on you…”
After a lengthy lecture, Chu Datou hung up.
Chu Kunshan was left frustrated, and Dongfang Yue’s face darkened. “What happened? Everything was in place, but the problem came from relaying the message?”
Chu Kunshan meekly suggested, “Maybe… we should move to big brother’s military camp and work with the officials?”
Dongfang Yue sneered, “Impossible. If we wanted that, we’d have done it long ago. Special times come with too many restrictions—our few hundred years of lifespan would have to be handed over. Would you like that? Besides, Shadow killed my entire family—I won’t rest until…”
Before she could finish.
A warm liquid splashed across her face. In an instant, her husband Chu Kunshan’s head tumbled into her arms.
“Huh?”
Dongfang Yue’s pupils shrank instantly!
