Otherworldly Evil Monarch

Chapter 635: Alliance? Or Opposition?

This amazing feeling caused Chu Qi Hun’s heart which was always as calm as water in a well to tremble involuntarily for a moment.

“Since we’ve already decided to end the fight, I want to ask you about one thing!” Jun Mo Xie kissed his treasured sword and kept it. Haha, today, this little thing has really given this brother too much face. The moment it came out of its sheath, the opponent’s sword directly raised the white flag and surrendered!

What’s called the graceful bearings of a sword emperor? What’s called a sovereign ruling all under the heavens? This is!

Today was really too awesome!

“What thing?” Chu Qi Hun raised his head and looked blandly at him. After the sword appreciation event passed, the Supreme Assassin Chu also instantly regained his cold calm.

“Since you are called the Supreme Assassin, then, your profession should be a hired killer. The number one assassin organization in Xuan Xuan—the Blood Sword Hall, are they your people?” Jun Mo Xie asked in a solemn tone, his eyes turning slightly blood red.

“Are you looking down on me, or are you speaking overly highly about those bunch of thugs? Could it be that you think that I, Chu Qi Hun, would have any connections with that ragtag bunch? Those people don’t even have the qualifications to carry this daddy’s shoes!” Chu Qi Hun glared unhappily at him. “Traveling a thousand li with just one sword and passing the journey of ten thousand li in closed seclusion. One man one sword, I enjoy my fill of loneliness and slaughter; that is me, Chu Qi Hun! What kind of dog shit is Blood Sword Hall? This daddy don’t know them!”

“Then, I can set my mind at ease. I’m glad that they have nothing to do with you; otherwise, even if I admire you more, you will still have to die today!” Jun Mo Xie’s heart relaxed and he stated casually.

“Haha, even if you don’t want to kill me, I’m still dead without a doubt this time! I’ve never once held any hopes that I can walk out alive and return to the pugilist world after this!”

Chu Qi Hun laughed loudly, his face bitter and unresigned. “It’s really not easy being your scapegoat; for the sake of killing me, the three Holy Lands sent out no less than 300 famed experts! I first hid in the secluded mountains and then among the crowd, but was chased out again and again in quick succession. Their encirclement are closing in, and the final struggle is at hand. Previously, I could claim to be framed by you, but now, I’ve also killed three of the Blood Ocean’s Superior Supreme experts. Both sides are already irreconcilable. Within this thousand li of mountain and river, I wonder which location would have a good enough fengshui to bury Chu Qi Hun!”

As he talked about his own life and death, his face remained unmoved and calm. It was as if this matter did not concern him at all. As a King among assassins of a generation, he had already accepted the possibility of death long ago.

Whether it was the death of others, or his own, it was all the same to him!

“Why don’t you hide in the busy cities? It might be difficult to conceal yourself completely in a well-structured large city, but a normal city is not a bad place to hide in.” Jun Mo Xie asked.

“Am I, Chu Qi Hun, a petty scum on the level of dog thieves and chicken burglars? I am an assassin! I’ve killed good people and bad people indiscriminately, but I’ve never caused an innocent person to die for me! Although I’ve killed people as though they were wheat, those that died because of me all died by my sword or by my hands!” Chu Qi Hun’s expression remained cold and calm, and his eyes blazed with a unique pride. “This is an assassin!”

“If I were to die in the hands of others one day, I would not feel aggrieved!” Chu Qi Hun smiled coldly and turned his face skyward. “Since I’ve come out to kill others, I’m already prepared to have my life claimed by others as well! There’s not much to say about this kind of thing; you are an assassin too, could it be that you don’t understand this logic?”

Jun Mo Xie’s eyes lit up. How could he not understand? Just like how Jun Mo Xie had his own principles which he would never bend, Chu Qi Hun had an arrogance that belonged to him too!

Just as Chu Qi Hun had said, the three Holy Lands’s strength and their lineup this time was extremely strong. Even he and Mei Xue Yan would not have any confidence in a head-on clash with them, and could only hide and dodge, without any chance of retaliation! What could Chu Qi Hun do!

The fact that Chu Qi Hun was able to hang on until now was already an incredible feat!

Just by relying on assassination techniques, it might be possible to deal with one or two of his pursuers... but if he was even tied down for a brief moment, hundreds of powerful experts would immediately swarm toward his location! Even if Chu Qi Hun’s movement technique was amazing, what use would it be? After all, he couldn’t disappear into the Hongjun Pagoda like Jun Mo Xie, completely removing himself from this world...

Take the battle a day ago for example; if not for Jun Mo Xie lending a helping hand, creating the best position for Chu Qi Hun to take action, there was no way he could kill two powerful experts and cripple one in a single move. If Chu Qi Hun followed his original plan to launch a surprise attack, he would only be able to kill one person at most. He would be exceptionally lucky if he could escape safely after launching his attack and revealing himself; where would he get the ability to rid himself of three powerful pursuers in one stroke!

“Before this, I was not willing to simply die! Because I didn’t even know who it was that had set me up. Thus, I was determined to stay alive and find out the truth!” Chu Qi Hun looked at Jun Mo Xie with mixed emotions as he continued. “Now, this wish is finally fulfilled.”

“To be able to see you before my death, I am appeased! Perhaps you may not be a true killer, but you are definitely the strongest, most peerless assassin I’ve ever seen in my life! I’ll even say that you are stronger than me! Because you are much younger than me! I only hope that you can promise me one thing.”

Chu Qi Hun gazed solemnly at Jun Mo Xie and said, “I can die, Chu Qi Hun can die! But, the Supreme Assassin cannot perish!

“The Supreme Assassin: it’s not just just any other Supreme. Nor is it a title for a Xuan cultivation level; it refers to a true Supreme! It’s the highest honor in the world of assassins!” Chu Qi Hun uttered each word fiercely. “I think that you understand the meaning of these words better than I!”

“What if you don’t have to die? Or more accurately, what if Chu Qi Hun and the Supreme Assassin both do not die?” Jun Mo Xie looked back at him seriously.

“If the Supreme Assassin requires the help of others, he would no longer be worthy of being called the Supreme Assassin!” Chu Qi Hun rejected flatly. He did not even allow Jun Mo Xie to finish his words. “I do not need your help! And I am even less willing to owe anyone a favor! Even if I were to be only under one man and above millions, I am still unwilling! There is only the clear skies above the Supreme Assassin, nothing else!

“As for the matter of making me your scapegoat, there’s no need to feel like you owe me anything. Because, our movement techniques are simply too similar! If you had risen to fame earlier than me, I would have definitely pushed all my crimes to you as well. In fact, even without going out of the way to set each other up, we will both turn into suspects for the other’s actions.”

Chu Qi Hun laughed carefreely, completely losing all his mind’s shackles.

“Perhaps, it is as you’ve said: we didn’t know each other before this. No matter what others say, or whether or not I’ve set you up, there won’t be a shred of guilt in my heart. In critical moments, for the sake of one’s own life, there are nothing that a man can’t do! There are no grounds on blaming actions done in such circumstances. I’ve also never felt that there was anything wrong in diverting the attention to you!”

Jun Mo Xie’s eyes turned sharp as he continued, “But do not forget, the victor between us hasn’t been determined yet! Who shall claim the title of Supreme Assassin is still not clear! Perhaps there really is only the clear skies above the head of the Supreme Assassin, but Chu Qi Hun, that might not be true for you! If I only inherited the title of the King of Assassins because you were killed by others, that would be a shame for me, not honor!”

Chu Qi Hun’s stared at Jun Mo Xie and snorted, “I’ve already lost to you in the close quarters fight! You can go ahead and claim the title with a peaceful mind.”

“But are you truly willing? To give up the title of Supreme Assassin just like this? Although others might not know of the circumstances, but are you truly reconciled to it?” Jun Mo Xie took a step forward and demanded.

“Even if I’m not willing.... what can I do about it?” Chu Qi Hun muttered gloomily.

At this time, Mei Xue Yan suddenly shouted, “Mo Xie, there are many experts rushing here not far away. It seems like your batte earlier attracted someone’s notice. Let’s switch to another place to talk.”

Chu Qi Hun’s face turned frigid as he tightened his hands around the hilt of his sword.

“Since you are not fully reconciled to the loss, why don’t we switch a method to determine the victor!” Jun Mo Xie continued lightly, seemingly unaffected by the news. “You’ve heard it as well; the people coming here are all Supremes, or even Superiors Supremes; there’s a total of eight of them! Why don’t we use these people as targets for our competition! We’ll use our strongest assassination techniques as the wager! And see who the honor of Supreme Assassin belongs to!”

“See who kills the most?” Chu Qi Hun’s eyes lit up.

“Just the numbers alone is not enough; we will compete on killing speed as well!” Jun Mo Xie’s eyes blazed with fighting intent. “These people are not just your enemies, but they’re enemies that are pursuing you to take your life! You don’t want to be killed by them, and I do not want them to live!”

Chu Qi Hun laughed uproariously, “To think that, I, Chu Qi Hun would meet a kid like you so much to my liking just before my death! This is considered a great happiness in life as well! Fine, we’ll use this match to determine who will claim the honor of the title of Supreme Assassin!”

Chu Qi Hun and Jun Mo Xie’s body disappeared along with the laughter, completely vanishing into the snow storm! Only the snowflakes could be seen falling softly on the ground. Mei Xue Yan sighed lightly and with a wave of her hand, a large hole appeared on the snow peak behind her. She and Dongfang Wen Xin hid into the hole, and the entire piece of snow block closed up perfectly again. This skill was something she’d learned from Jun Mo Xie after they left the Dongfang Family earlier. Now, it was proving its usefulness.

Sou, sou, sou...

In a brief moment, several figures shot over, landing on the snowy ground. With a few quick steps, they shuttled quickly through the entire area and examined it carefully with complete vigilance. Every corner of the area was properly combed through, until they finally stopped at the place where Chu Qi Hun and Jun Mo Xie had exchanged blows earlier.

A man with a face filled with the vicissitudes of life stood silently as a strange light flashed in his eyes. His limbs were skinny and frail and he wore hemp garments with a high hat on his head. This was Supreme Golden City’s Ma Jiang Ming. Beside him, there were two more individuals with similar clothing.

Three white-robed old men with long beards walked over, stepping lightly over the snowy ground. Their movements were elegant and unrestrained, and their demeanors were calm and unhurried. Long swords hung on their waists like simple ornaments. Further back, there were two purple-robed experts from the Illusory Blood Sea. Their purple robes were extremely eye-catching in this piece of white-colored land!

There were experts from all three Holy Lands here. One Superior Supreme and two Supremes from the Supreme Golden City, One Superior Supreme and two Supremes from the Elusive World of Immortals, and two Superior Supremes from the Illusory Blood Sea. Furthermore, both experts looked the same—they were actually a pair of twins!

“A battle took place here recently.” Ma Jiang Ming said slowly as a ghostly fire flickered in his eyes. He observed the disorderly ground carefully and occasionally looked around doubtfully. His nose sniffed wildly in the air and a moment later, his face suddenly distorted hatefully. “A woman! There’s the smell of a woman! A woman was definitely here a moment ago... could it be... Venerable Mei?!”
