"That black bear truly lives up to his reputation as the leader of a mercenary group renowned in the dark world; he certainly has some strength." In a secluded corner, a man in a suit watched this scene with a slight smile.

Half a body length behind him was a tall man wearing armor.

Upon hearing his master's words, the knight's eyelids twitched, but he quickly regained his composure.

To ordinary people, the strength of a black bear may seem like Mount Tai, but to some truly powerful forces, it is nothing more than that.

That's how the Holy See is!

The dark world is very deep, and people often only focus on its surface phenomena, but no one ever explores what kind of world the darkness within darkness is!

"Brel, what do you think would happen if you faced the Black Bear?" The nobleman suddenly looked at the knight with great interest.

Brell said calmly, "Within three moves, I will take his head off!"

His tone was calm, yet full of confidence!

Upon hearing this, Jue nodded in satisfaction: "As expected of a knight of the Holy Court. It seems that the dark world has almost forgotten our existence because the Holy Court has not made a move for so many years. Today, let's show you a little something."

...

On the battlefield, the black bear's aura had risen to a terrifying level; his eyes were blood red and filled with the ferocity of a wild beast!

"I've almost lost my human sanity. I might not even see you being torn to pieces by me in a moment!" the black bear said hoarsely.

Qin Ziling smirked: "Let me see."

"court death!"

With a roar, the black bear lost its last shred of reason. The next moment, it leaped into the air, its massive body soaring five or six meters high in a parabolic arc before crashing down on Qin Ziling!

Qin Ziling narrowed his eyes. The other party's body was too huge, and he did not intend to take it head-on.

With a single movement, he slid back seven or eight meters.

boom!

The black bear crashed down like a cannonball, creating a huge crater in the ground!

"roar!"

Having failed in his first attack, he roared and charged at Qin Ziling once more.

"What a troublesome big guy." Qin Ziling murmured softly, then disappeared.

The black bear's body swelled, and its strength increased, but its speed decreased. At this moment, Qin Ziling easily appeared behind it.

The latter realized what was happening, but his body couldn't keep up with his mind!

Snap!

What greeted him was a whip kick from Qin Ziling!

The collision of flesh was accompanied by a muffled thud. The black bear's body trembled, and then it suddenly lurched forward.

At the same time, Qin Ziling used the momentum to rise into the air, spun around once, and then pressed down. Suddenly, a golden light shone from his fist!

The golden light was incredibly bright. In a patch of grass, a man dressed in a long black robe stared intently at the golden light, his eyelids twitching violently! His eyes were filled with horror.

bump!

The fist, enveloped in golden light, slammed directly into the black bear's head. In an instant, the bear's head exploded like a watermelon! White and red liquid splattered everywhere!

The headless corpse froze, its aura rapidly diminishing!

Bang!

Qin Ziling adjusted his body in mid-air, placed his feet on the black bear's shoulder, and remained calm.

Snap!

The black bear's carcass was lifeless, and it knelt down, utterly dead!

Quiet!

An eerily quiet atmosphere descended.

The once-mighty seventh-ranked mercenary group was wiped out!

"There's something, but not much," Qin Ziling shook his head dismissively, looking rather uninterested.

He thought the black bear could give him a surprise, but he was disappointed. He only needed to break one seal to kill the opponent instantly!

In the end, I was just too strong!

Having taken down another opponent, Qin Ziling suddenly looked around, his voice calm yet carrying towards Xizhou: "Stop hiding, come at me all at once!"

After the sound faded, an eerie silence remained.

Qin Ziling narrowed his eyes slightly.

He knew that many powerful figures had gathered around him, and even he could sense several familiar auras among them, auras that were both powerful and familiar!

However, he was not flustered. Over the years, there have been very few opponents that he could take seriously.

"Splash!"

Just as he was deep in thought, a noise suddenly rang out—the sound of something scraping against the flowers and grass!

Qin Ziling's heart stirred, and he looked in one direction.

A long-haired man walked out from there.

The long-haired man had a calm expression, with his bangs covering one eye. He carried a sword wrapped in black cloth on his back. There was no fluctuation of his aura, but he gave people a sense of sharpness that could only be revealed when the sword was drawn!

Master!

At first glance, Qin Ziling knew that the person who came out this time was a master!

As for how strong it will be, he doesn't know, but he's really looking forward to it.

"Who goes there?" Blood Spider asked coldly, speaking on behalf of Qin Ziling.

The long-haired man stopped, glanced at the blood spider, and then looked away, losing interest.

She wasn't strong enough, so he wasn't interested!

Blood Spider's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Qin Ziling said, "You can just stand and watch, you don't need to do anything else."

"Yes, Master!"

Blood Spider nodded respectfully.

The long-haired man looked up at Qin Ziling, and their eyes met. The long-haired man's eyes lit up: "You are not simple!"

"You're quite interesting. I have a suggestion for you: work for me, how about it?" Qin Ziling said with a faint smile.

The long-haired man shook his head and said calmly, "I have never taken orders from anyone. Of course, you probably don't have that ability either."

"Really?" Qin Ziling smiled, jumped off the black bear, and dusted himself off. "You use a sword? You must be the fourth-ranked swordsman on the assassin's list, right?"

swordsman!

Upon hearing Qin Ziling's words, the expressions of Blood Spider and the others immediately turned serious.

In the underworld, the top ten assassins are all incredibly famous, practically taboo in the assassin world! Every assassin who can make it into the top ten is a rare and exceptional master!

There's a legend about the swordsman in the assassin world: he never uses a sword when he kills! Because no one has ever seen the true face of the sword on his back! But those who die by his hand all have a sword hole in their bodies!

As for why no one could make him draw his sword, it's simple: the swordsman was too strong! So strong that no one could make him draw his sword!

So, he was a swordsman!

The swordsman looked at Qin Ziling with some surprise: "You recognize me?"

Qin Ziling curled his lip: "You're quite an oddball, but I do admire you. I suggest you consider it."

The swordsman was indeed very famous; Qin Ziling had heard of his exploits when he was involved in the underworld.

It's said that the swordsman's true strength is far beyond fourth on the assassin ranking list! But he has no interest in that assassin ranking list.

It is said that when he killed the fourth-ranked assassin in the previous rankings, it only took him ten moves!

Ten moves!

That's terrifying! Any one of the top five assassins on the leaderboard would cause a huge stir in the underworld! And this swordsman killed one person in just ten moves! And that wasn't even with the sword behind him! That speaks volumes!
