Chapter 56 - 56 44 Luck or Strength

?Chapter 56: Chapter 44: Luck or Strength? Chapter 56: Chapter 44: Luck or Strength? The sword light was splendid, almost illuminating the night sky.

The light was directed right beneath Ma Sanqian!

At this moment, Ma Sanqian’s momentum was established, and there was no possibility of changing his moves.

It was like a fish leaping out of the water, reaching its highest point at that moment.

Not only was there no strength to fight back, but he couldn’t even twist his waist in that instant.

His eyes had already seen the night outside the city.

His neck, his chest, had already left the city.

Yet his legs were still in the city.

His body was suspended in mid-air without any support!

And this burst of light shot up violently, reaching the extreme point of sharpness and decisiveness!

Thump!

The blade’s light flashed, cleaving through Ma Sanqian’s waist!

The blade’s light continued, piercing through his body and rushing upwards!

The moon was like water.

The blade was like snow.

The blade was like blood.

Desolately beautiful and chillingly cold.

The moment the light emerged, that figure burst into the sky from the point where Ma Sanqian’s body was severed, flashed in the air, and then disappeared.

The hit was successful, and the attacker fled immediately without stopping or looking back, not even staying to inspect the battleground.

He didn’t even glance at it.

Ma Sanqian didn’t even have time to scream before his body was split in half under the unexpected attack.

Blood splattered like a sudden burst of fiery fireworks.

His head and upper half of the body had rushed out of Yuezhou City due to the force, falling into the wilderness outside the city.

But the lower half of his body and his two legs permanently remained within the city.

They fell.

With a thud, they landed among the five Bronze Badge assassins.

Right where Ma Sanqian had just been fighting.

The fresh blood splashed, scattering into a large amount of flesh and blood.

The five Bronze Badge assassins looked at each other, stunned for a moment.

Six of them came to kill Ma Sanqian, although it wasn’t arranged, they all fought to the death and revealed their final moves, each hoping to be the first to kill Ma Sanqian. One even died in the process.

But, as it turns out… the seventh person in the dark snagged the opportunity.

They watched as the duck that was nearly cooked flew away.

They watched as the peach within their reach disappeared.

Now who should they complain to?

They had fought with all their might and worked up a sweat, but that seventh person quietly dealt one move and completed the task.

If this person was much stronger than them…

Then they would accept it.

But based on his speed and his technique, not only was he not stronger than anyone present, he was even weaker. At most, he was on par with them.

This situation was simply inconceivable, far beyond what could be described by “what the hell”.

They had toiled for years only to make wedding clothes for others.

How could they not curse out loud?

“Real asshole!”

“Taking advantage shouldn’t be this easy, right?!”

“How the hell was he so sure to ambush there in advance?”

“How did he know? You tell me. It’s all a fluke, just luck…”

“That luck could’ve gone any way…”

The five people were so angry their bellies were full, but they rapidly took out the Heavenly Judgment to confirm the completion of the mission.

This made them feel like their lungs were going to explode with anger!

“Mission target: Ma Sanqian… Mission completed, Complete by, Gentle, Rank, Iron Badge; First place.”

“What the fuck! It’s actually an Iron Badge! Damn your luck!”

The five people cursed one after another, increasingly feeling as though their noses had been twisted by rage…

It was so humiliating!

Iron Badge!

Isn’t this insulting us?

Clearly, this Iron Badge wasn’t well-ranked previously, located somewhere among tens of thousands of Iron Badges. At the very least, he must have been ranked after the 50,000th place.

Only those ranked after 50,000, on completion of a Bronze Badge mission, would be promoted directly to the first rank of Iron Badge.

He didn’t get promoted directly to Bronze Badge!

“This slipped through our fingers…” The five assassins became more confused as they thought about it, collectively bewildered in the wind.

After a long while, they had to admit—the guy was really lucky!

“His ambush on the city parapet clearly shows he knew he was not strong enough to participate in the battle, so he just watched. I guess he never thought he’d have a chance to accomplish this task by himself. This is certain.”

“But the biggest deviation was us driving Ma Sanqian to desperation, forcing out his last card. And Ma Sanqian just happened to… delivered himself to his blade in his escape.”

“This was really just coincidence, just good luck. Saying it was calculated beforehand doesn’t make sense, it’s absurd!”

One of the assassins sighed with a bitter smile on his face: “For such luck, I have nothing to say.”

“It might not be all luck.”

Another assassin grunted, saying: “I don’t deny that the kid’s luck is extraordinary, but his audacity is also quite impressive. An Iron Badge killer set his eyes on a Bronze Badge mission. Without a certain amount of guts, would he dare to come?”

“Objectively speaking, I wouldn’t dare do this during my Iron Badge period.”

“He dared to, and succeeded. Isn’t this infuriating?”

“Haha…” Another person sneered: “Such risky actions won’t last. I’ll wait and see when Gentle falls due to his recklessness. It’s just a matter of time.”

The group chatted for a while, then dispersed.

The dead assassin was left unattended. Everyone was unrelated; cleaning up would be the guard’s duty.

However, everyone was now keeping an eye on one person.

The first-ranked Iron Badge, Gentle.

Five Bronze Badge assassins got robbed by an Iron Badge, it couldn’t sit well with anyone.

The only person feeling comfortable now was probably just one person.

Feng Yin.

President Feng.

Dr. Feng.

…

Just like one of the assassins said before, Feng Yin really didn’t expect that he had already given up on the mission, yet this Ma Sanqian turned out to be so heroic.

At the brink of death, he managed to strike back, repelling five bronze badge killers, and then delivered himself right under Feng Yin’s knife!

And it was the best position for Feng Yin to attack, his most vulnerable chest and abdomen.

This was like a heaven-sent fortune, a windfall.

If he didn’t take the chance to stab, Feng Yin felt he would be too sorry for himself, apologizing to heaven and earth.

So naturally… he took advantage of the situation and gave that final blow!

Completed this task that was almost like a cheat.

The crisis and danger were others’, and in the end, with the final blow, he got the most without any scratch.

It was simply…ha, too refreshing.

The only regret was that Feng Yin did not take the treasures from Ma Sanqian. Because the moment he paused, he could have been blocked by those few killers.

Even if not dead, getting beaten up was a light outcome.

So Feng Yin did not even think about that.

Even though he was greedy, he still put on a high and ‘I see money as dirt’ demeanor and drifted off.

On the way back, Feng Yin felt his steps were light.

“Such good luck…”

“But such luck can’t happen again, one must never have the mindset of fluke, next time…never take risks.”

Feng Yin reminded himself while he joyously returned to his small yard.

Looking at Heavenly Judgment.

“Completer: Gentle. Rank: Iron Rank. Position: First.”

Reading these few words, Feng Yin felt the calligraphy was especially good, spectacularly beautiful, full of iron strokes and silver hooks, dragons flying and phoenixes dancing.

In the current situation, if he casually completed a few more iron rank tasks, he could be promoted to Bronze Badge.

And during this time, the Spiritual Transformation Technique would allow him to progress further, and the empowering aura could also allow him to progress further. After reaching the Bronze Badge, he would be given a pill to increase his cultivation, which could also allow him to progress…

With this, his strength would be truly worthy of the Bronze Badge killer title.

“The future is bright, the path is at your feet.”

Feng Yin held Feng Ying, who was humming in dissatisfaction, in his embrace while he stroked him and daydreamed happily in his heart.

“One step closer to the future’s greatest martial artist, a Sacred Rank killer.”

“I know, my future is not a dream…”

…

Not too far away,

The iron rank assassin who was just saved by Feng Yin, when he took out Heavenly Judgment to refresh, suddenly looked flustered!

“Damn it! Holy shit…”

When he looked back at this task, he actually saw “Completer, Iron Rank Gentle, Ranked First in Iron Rank.”

These words.

Suddenly he felt like he had just dreamed.

Just now …. he was in the seventies.

Now, in a blink of an eye, he had jumped up over seventy thousand to become first?

“Has this Heavenly Judgment gone wrong? Made a mistake? Or did I really get it wrong just now?”

“Heavenly Judgment can’t be wrong, so did I really just see it wrong? I’m only twenty-six… have I got presbyopia?”

The iron rank assassin stood in the wind, sinking into deep self-doubt.

Rubbing his eyes, he looked again.

Once again he rubbed …

…

Far away in the woods, Xu the Third and Xu the Fourth, who were in a dirty, sorry state covered in demon beast feces, finally crawled out of the dense forest.

“I got three pearls this time. Indeed, after rebirth, my strength improved rapidly. I’m now at the peak of an eighth-grade postnatal stage.”

“Me too.”

“Finally out. Those demon beasts are really annoying.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

“Check the mission. See if there’s one nearby to hunt a peach.”

“Okay, okay.”

Both of them took out Heavenly Judgment at the same time.

Xu the Fourth habitually checked on Iron Rank Gentle; this guy had become his main focus, not for any other reason but mainly because he had been bullied too many times by him, not checking on him for a day felt like something was missing in his heart…

But the moment he looked up, he immediately cried out loud.

“Damn! Holy crap…”

Xu the Third was displeased: “Why are you shouting?”

“That Gentle who hurt you… he… he… ”

“What about him?”

Xu the Third impatiently turned his head to look, and immediately froze.

His eyes bulged out instantly: “Damn! Holy crap…”

…

Feng Yin is feeling good.

A lot of people are shocked.

As for those five assassins who had had their peaches picked, they were very upset now.

The ones who were most upset weren’t them.

It was Lord Wu Tiejun.

Yes, Captain Wu!
