Time flies, and another half year has passed in the days of hunting down the parasitic soul.
Perhaps it was the parasitic soul's test of Wang Han last time. Because the fused Night Owl was pulled into the Divine Might Space by Wang Han, the transmission of intelligence was cut off, and even energy sharing was impossible. The remaining parasitic souls only knew that the person chasing them was a person wearing black armor and carrying a long sword. They had no other useful information, which made them more vigilant. Wang Han's attempt to force them to merge not only failed to make them merge, but also made the parasitic souls more cautious and more frenzied. They constantly instigated killings and wars in various parts of the world and various countries. The entire world was almost engulfed in the wars instigated by the parasitic souls. Every day, villages were slaughtered, every week, cities were massacred, and every month, countries and races were wiped out. Only China, because Wang Han had been paying close attention, did not experience the same level of war as the European continent.
These parasitic souls are racing against time with Wang Han, trying to become as strong as possible before he kills them all.
Faced with this, Wang Han could only sigh helplessly and continue his arduous pursuit. Fortunately, the remaining number of parasitic souls was only seven or eight thousand. Although their strength was increasing and it was no longer possible to kill hundreds or thousands a day like before, it wouldn't take Wang Han much time.
In the martial arts world, across the seven kingdoms, news of the mysterious number one assassin is growing ever stronger. It's almost always about which famous figures, masters, wealthy merchants, and high-ranking officials have fallen victim to this cold-blooded killer. It hasn't stopped for a single day; news of over a dozen deaths daily has spread, even reaching the Central Plains from beyond the borders. The number one assassin is reportedly assassinating famous figures and warriors in distant lands. And this doesn't even include those who remain undiscovered or are relatively unknown.

In the Zhao Kingdom, deep in a remote mountain, nestled in a picturesque valley, a wooden house sits beside a stream. This is where Wang Han often stays. During the day, he hunts down parasitic souls, and at night, he returns here to rest, read, and study various techniques.
That night, Wang Han returned after a day of pursuit and found Gao Jianli waiting in front of the wooden house. Over the past six months, Wang Han had told Gao Jianli and Xue Nu about this place, and Gao Jianli and Xue Nu would often come here together to keep Wang Han company, discuss music, and sometimes ask him for advice.
"Mysterious Brother." Gao Jianli, unfazed by Wang Han's sudden appearance, quickly greeted him. Not long after parting ways with Wang Han, Gao Jianli and Xue Nu received an invitation from the leader of the Mohist school and joined the Mohist school.
"Brother Gao Jianli." Wang Han nodded, opened the door of the wooden house, and invited Gao Jianli inside.
"Brother Wang Han, I have come here on behalf of the leader of the Mohist school. The leader of the Mohist school wants to meet with you and asks you to do something for him." After the two entered the room and sat down, Gao Jianli got straight to the point.
Yan Dan, the leader of the Mohist school, knew that he was acquainted with the world's number one assassin.
"The leader of the Mohist school." Upon hearing this, Wang Han immediately guessed why the leader of the Mohist school wanted to contact him. The Han Kingdom had now been destroyed, the Qin army was already at the gates of the Yan Kingdom, and Yan Dan was also planning to assassinate the Qin emperor.
“He wants me to assassinate King Ying Zheng of Qin,” Wang Han said.
“Brother Mysterious, you are indeed well-informed.” Gao Jianli nodded and said. “The leader of the Mohist school did have this intention, but it goes beyond that.”
“You know I don’t deal in human lives, nor will I join any faction to serve others,” Wang Han said, shaking his head. “Brother Gao Jianli, please tell Yan Dan, the leader of the Mohist school, to find someone else!”
“It seems you know everything. The Grand Master is indeed Yan Dan.” As if he had anticipated Wang Han’s words, Gao Jianli said, “But I still hope that you, Mysterious Brother, can make a move. The King of Qin is cruel. If the King of Qin does not die, the Yan Kingdom will surely suffer a great loss of life.”
“I will not kill Ying Zheng.” Wang Han shook his head and refused. Seeing that Gao Jianli still wanted to persuade him, he continued, “Ying Zheng is very important to this era. You don’t need to say anything more.”
“But only you, Brother Mysterious, can kill Ying Zheng without any risk, and only you can easily escape unscathed.” Gao Jianli said urgently, “Do you still remember Brother Jing Ke? If Brother Jing Ke goes, he will surely die. Even if he kills Ying Zheng, he will not be able to leave Xianyang Palace alive.”
“Whether Brother Jing Ke goes to kill Ying Zheng or not, and what the consequences will be, is already clear to Brother Jing Ke himself. That is Brother Jing Ke’s choice. My choice is not to kill Ying Zheng.” Wang Han shook his head and said, “I will not help Yan Dan assassinate King Ying Zheng of Qin.”
"Mysterious Brother, are you really going to watch the people of Yan suffer?" Gao Jianli asked anxiously.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. If Brother Gao Jianli came here only for this matter, then please leave," Wang Han interrupted Gao Jianli.
"You...sigh! Regardless of success or failure, I hope Brother Mysterious will be able to save Jing Ke." Having been given the order to leave, Gao Jianli could only sigh and depart unwillingly. He knew that Brother Mysterious's decision was one he couldn't change.
——————————————
Gao Jianli returned unwillingly and informed Yan Dan that his attempt to persuade Wang Han had failed.
Yan Dan could only sigh in despair. Unable to persuade the world's greatest martial arts master to intervene, he had no choice but to implement the second plan: to send Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin.
On the banks of the Yi River, Gao Jianli, Xue Nu, Master Ban, and other members of the Mohist school saw Jing Ke off.
"The wind howls, the Yi River is cold, the hero departs, never to return." After the final farewell, watching Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang stride away, everyone knew that Jing Ke's departure meant certain death.
