As the voice echoed like a ghost in the empty warehouse, the atmosphere instantly became eerily quiet.

"Who goes there?!"

Black Snake and the others' expressions changed drastically. They all stood up, gripped their weapons tightly, and stared intently at the doorway.

The next second, the warehouse door slowly opened, and two headless corpses fell in before everyone's eyes.

"It's Spotted Snake and his gang!" one of his men exclaimed, recognizing the corpse's clothes.

The two corpses were those of the guards.

Black Snake's eyes immediately turned cold: "Who are you? Why are you targeting my Black Snake organization?"

"Heh, I'm taking action against you because you're blocking my path. A B-rank organization like you dares to covet the Philosopher's Stone? You're not qualified!"

A tall figure walked into the warehouse. He had long, wavy red hair, blue eyes, a Western face, and a scar several centimeters long that stretched from the corner of his mouth to his ear, making him look extremely ferocious.

He faced a dozen or so members of the Black Serpent organization, along with seven or eight firearms, with his bare hands, yet he remained relaxed, as if the weapons posed no threat to him whatsoever.

"You, you've also come for the Philosopher's Stone?!" Black Serpent's face was grim. He hadn't expected news of the Philosopher's Stone in the Dragon Kingdom to spread so quickly, and someone had already come knocking on his door!

"Hehe! Of course, such a divine object is not something an ordinary person can consume," the red-haired man chuckled.

Black Serpent stared at his opponent, feeling a pressure. Clearly, his opponent was no ordinary person. But now that the Philosopher's Stone was about to be obtained, and he had lost so many subordinates, he absolutely could not back down!

"Your Excellency, the Philosopher's Stone belongs to us. We suffered huge losses trying to capture this woman from the Dragon Kingdom. If you want to interfere, it won't be that simple," the Black Serpent said in a deep voice.

"Heh heh, I didn't ask for your opinions, because I not only want the Philosopher's Stone, but I also want to kill you all!" The red-haired man revealed a sinister smile.

"Kill him!"

Black Snake's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly shouted.

rattttt!

The next second, seven or eight firearms simultaneously pulled the triggers at the red-haired man, and countless bullets rained down like raindrops.

But in that instant, the red-haired man's figure mysteriously vanished from the spot!

At the same time, a cold glint flashed, and the head of a Black Serpent organization member flew off, spraying blood everywhere!

"Rank A!" Black Snake's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in surprise.

The opponent actually possesses A-level strength!

Having lost their target, everyone stopped firing and became extremely tense.

"Heh, you actually think you can kill me, a dignified head-bearer, with such low-grade scrap metal?" A mocking voice suddenly echoed, and the next second, a cold glint flashed, followed by another head falling to the ground.

"Retreat!" The crowd panicked, scattering in terror at the sight of the enemy's slaughter.

"The Headhunter?! You're the Headhunter, ranked fifty-second on the Dark World Assassin List?!" Black Serpent exclaimed in shock, his eyes filled with fear.

Those who carry heads are figures from the underworld. In the underworld, there is an assassin ranking list, which gathers many powerful assassins. This list has two hundred ranks, and those who can enter the list are all ruthless among ruthless people! Only those with sufficient strength, or those who have killed a certain number of targets, can occupy a place on the assassin ranking list!

The Headhunter's ranking of fifty-second on the list speaks volumes about his strength. He kills his targets by severing their heads, a method he employs with extreme cruelty and monstrosity, hence his nickname, the Headhunter! His strength is rated A-level, but he has killed A-level opponents before, meaning his true strength is far more than just A-level!

The Black Serpent Organization is not an assassin organization, but just an ordinary mercenary organization. However, Black Serpent knows how terrifying the people on the assassin ranking list are. Don't be fooled by his B-level strength; there is a huge gap between him and the B-level assassins on the assassin ranking list!

So now that Black Snake has encountered an A-level assassin, he's panicked!

"Oh? You've actually heard of me? So, are you in despair?" The red-haired man's voice rang out, and at the same time, a figure rushed towards Black Snake and the others.

"Run!" Black Serpent roared. He didn't care about the Philosopher's Stone anymore. Being targeted by an A-rank assassin meant certain death if he continued to entangle himself with them!

However, they were too slow compared to the Headhunters. In their panicked escape, they neglected their defense and were mercilessly harvested by the Headhunters one after another!

The head-carrier uses an extremely sharp curved blade, and each time he kills someone, he slices open the opponent's neck at lightning speed, cutting through bone like mud!

In no time, the scene was a mess, and the stench of blood filled the entire warehouse. Even Viper, the number two figure in the Black Serpent Organization, was brutally killed by the Headhunter, despite being a B-level expert!

Only Black Snake remained at the scene. He looked pale-faced at the head-carrying figure who was walking towards him step by step, his eyes filled with despair.

"Heh heh, not running away anymore? Finally realized that running away is futile!" The decapitator licked the blood-stained blade, looking at the black snake with excitement.

Black Serpent hurriedly said, "Sir, I don't want the Philosopher's Stone anymore. You can do whatever you want with this woman from the Dragon Kingdom. As long as you release me, I will definitely disappear from here and guarantee to keep this a secret!"

The man who carried off the head raised an eyebrow, then chuckled, "Sounds good, but killing you will shut you up forever, won't it? Wouldn't it be better to solve the problem once and for all?"

Upon hearing this, the black snake turned pale.

They're trying to kill me to silence me!

"Heh heh, it's all thanks to you fools who grabbed the chips, saving me a lot of trouble. How about this, I'll be merciful and let you die a quick death!" The decapitator laughed, then gripped his curved blade tightly, and his figure vanished instantly!

Seeing that there was no way to escape, the black snake's face turned ferocious: "I'll fight you to the death!"

After saying that, he rushed out.

However, the difference in strength between the two was too great. The speed of the head-lifter completely overwhelmed the black snake. A cold light flashed, and an arm shot into the sky!

"Ah!!" Black Snake screamed in agony, clutching his bleeding severed arm and staggering backward.

"Game over, die!" The decapitator sneered, appearing directly behind the black snake.

The latter realized what was happening and turned around: "You..."

Pfft!

The next second, his head was severed, and blood gushed out like a fountain!

Black snake, die!

A Class B organization was wiped out by the Headhunter!

The man who had been carrying the severed head looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, as if admiring his masterpiece.

"The three hundred and sixty-seventh..."

Since his debut, he has killed hundreds of people!

This number is already extremely alarming!

He had received news that the Philosopher's Stone was in the Dragon Kingdom, but he was a step too late. Unexpectedly, the Black Serpent beat him to it, so he had no choice but to come here and take the opportunity to destroy the Black Serpent organization.

The Philosopher's Stone is incredibly tempting to those in the West, let alone to Black Serpent, an assassin.

If one obtains the Philosopher's Stone, one will possess unimaginable power and ascend to the throne of the dark world!

Thinking of this, the one who carried the head turned his gaze to Chu Xinyue, who was tied to the pillar.
