Chapter 409: Shadow Alliance’s Chief, Xiao Anran!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Where would a person known as the King of Assassins live?
The answer was that there was no place to live.
If it weren’t for Doctor of Death, Ye Kai, Chu Zhou, Yuan Bingmei, and the others, they wouldn’t have thought that the King of Assassins, Zuo Lei, didn’t live in the Shadow Base City No Two but in rather, he was living in seclusion in a forest near it.
Moreover, there was no house here at all.
The dignified King of Assassins actually stayed in this forest all year round.
If Ye Kai hadn’t said it, Chu Zhou, Yuan Bingmei, and the others would have found it unbelievable.
“Zuo Lei is a true killer!” Ye Kai said with admiration. “He has always been like an ascetic, cultivating diligently. In order to keep his mind pure, he has almost never been tainted by anything.”
“Other than that, he never lets himself be in any dangerous environment.”
“Even though the Shadow Base City No. Two looks very safe, there’s also a risk of being invaded.”
“Furthermore, once anything happens in the underground city, it will be much more difficult to successfully escape.”
“Therefore, he would rather live in seclusion in a hidden forest near the
Shadow Base City No. Two than live in the city.”
“He will only enter the Shadow Base City No. Two when something serious happens.”
In fact, in the entire Shadow Alliance, only Chief and I know that he is living in seclusion in the nearby forest. No one else knows.”
“What a terrifying person!” Yuan Bingmei and the others were secretly shocked after hearing Ye Kai’s description of the King of Assassins, Zuo Lei.
She did not expect such a person to exist in this era.
This kind of person was undoubtedly dangerous and terrifying.
Even Chu Zhou was interested in the King of Assassins, Zuo Lei, for the first time.
“If this person is given enough time, he probably has a high chance of advancing to the Omnipotent Expert Realm.” Chu Zhou thought to himself.
Soon, an ordinary-looking forest appeared in front of Chu Zhou and the others.
It was hard to imagine that the famous King of Assassins, Zuo Lei, would live in seclusion in this forest for a long time.
“Interesting!”
Chu Zhou suddenly stopped and looked behind the forest with interest.
“Brother Chu Zhou, what’s wrong?” Yuan Bingmei couldn’t help but ask when she saw Chu Zhou suddenly stop.
Ye Kai, Ding Feng, Liu Kun, and Simon also looked at Chu Zhou in confusion.
“The King of Assassins has already discovered us… Now, he’s escaping at full speed!”
Chu Zhou said with a smile. As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared.
Soon, Chu Zhou appeared in the sky 50 kilometers away from the forest like a ghost. He looked down from above.
Below, a gray “line” that was almost touching the ground was extending forward at high speed.
“Ye Kai actually betrayed me!”
Zuo Lei, the King of Assassins, flew forward at full speed with his body almost touching the ground. Killing intent filled his cold eyes.
He did not expect his old partner, Doctor of Death, Ye Kai, to betray him and bring an extremely terrifying enemy to the forest where he lived in seclusion.
In fact, he did not see Ye Kai, nor did he see the enemy Ye Kai brought.
However, he sensed Ye Kai’s arrival with his spiritual senses and the arrangements around the forest. Accompanying him were a few other auras. One of them made him feel a sense of suffocation.
lie trusted his senses and his arrangements.
He concluded that he had been betrayed by Ye Kai.
Moreover, he had brought a terrifying enemy that he could not resist at all.
After making this judgment, he did not say anything else and fled the forest at full speed.
“That aura that almost suffocated me just now, could it be an Omnipotent Expert?”
Zuo Lei, the King of Assassins, thought to himself with a heavy heart.
Even though he was very confident in his strength,
if a half-step Omnipotent Expert came, he had the confidence to protect himself.
However, if a true Omnipotent Expert came,
In that case, he would not be able to resist.
At the thought that he might be targeted by an Omnipotent Expert, he felt uneasy.
At this moment, his scalp suddenly went numb and he felt an unprecedented danger in his heart.
“Sh*t!”
He knew that the Omnipotent Expert he was afraid of had made a move.
With a thought, he prepared to escape into the Earth.
However, the top of his head darkened, and a huge energy hand that blotted out the sky descended. Traces of nomological power surged, and the Void seemed to be imprisoned, making his figure unable to move.
In the next moment, he was grabbed by the huge energy hand.
The huge energy hand retracted and brought him to a young man who was smiling faintly.
“The peerless genius of the Human Alliance, the Fourth President of the Human Alliance, Chu Zhou!”
The moment he saw Chu Zhou, the King of Assassins, Zuo Lei, felt as if his heart had sunk into the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean.
He knew that his life was in Chu Zhou’s hands.
“King of Assassins, Zuo Lei, we meet again!”
Chu Zhou smiled at Zuo Lei.
“Those who kill will always be killed!”
“That’s what I learned the first day I became an assassin.”
“This day has finally arrived!”
The King of Assassins, Zuo Lei, looked very calm. Since he was not afraid or begging for mercy, he was very calm in the face of death, as if he had expected such a day.
Chu Zhou looked at the King of Assassins Zuo Lei’s reaction and realized that he was not pretending. Instead, he was really indifferent to life and death. This made him admire Zuo Lei.
If this person was nurtured well, he might be a capable assistant in the future.
“You don’t have to die, but… you need to change your allegiance!”
Chu Zhou still didn’t stand on ceremony even though he admired him. He activated a strand of mental power between the brows of the King of Assassins, Zuo Lei, and transformed it into a sharp Spirit sword that could split the world apart. With a slash, he split Zuo Lei’s mental consciousness open and implanted a lotus seed in the depths of Zuo Lei’s turbulent mental consciousness.
A holy three petaled White Lotus quickly grew in Zuo Lei’s consciousness.
Zuo Lei endured the immense pain of his Spiritual Consciousness being forcefully split open.
When he saw the white lotus rooted in the depths of his Spiritual
Consciousness, he immediately realized that he might not be able to escape
Chu Zhou’s control for the rest of his life.
“From now on, I, Zuo Lei, will be your saber, Master!”
Zuo Lei simply changed the way he addressed Chu Zhou.
He directly called Chu Zhou “Master”.
His expression did not show any grievance or sadness.
Just as Ye Kai had said, Zuo Lei was a true and pure killer.
In Zuo Lei’s understanding, assassins were actually tools to kill.
Whoever mastered the tool would be his master.
In the past, he was loyal to the Chief of the Shadow Alliance, Xiao Anran.
Now that Chu Zhou controlled the life and death of a tool like him, his loyalty naturally became Chu Zhou.
Chu Zhou was very satisfied with Zuo Lei’s change in attitude.
He didn’t mind having a good knife in his hand.
When Yuan Bingmei, Ye Kai, Ding Feng, Liu Kun, Xi Meng, and the others heard that the King of Assassins, Zuo Lei, actually addressed Chu Zhou as master, they could not help but be slightly stunned.
They did not expect the King of Assassins, Zuo Lei, to be subdued by Chu Zhou just like that.
Zuo Lei, the King of Assassins, was shocked when he saw Yuan Bingmei, Ye Kai, Ding Feng, Liu Kun, Xi Meng, and the others standing behind Chu Zhou.
“Looks like the Shadow Alliance is finished!”
He sighed in his heart.
So many core figures of the Shadow Alliance were on Chu Zhou’s side. In addition, Chu Zhou was an Omnipotent Expert. Zuo Lei had already expected that the Shadow Alliance was finished.
With the addition of Zuo Lei and Ye Kai, the two managers of the Dark Shadow No. 2 Base City, Yuan Bingmei’s takeover of the Dark Shadow No. 2 Base City was very smooth.
In less than a day, she had subdued all the core members of the Dark Shadow 2 Base City.
Next, they did not stay idle. They brought Chu Zhou to the Shadow Base City No. One, which was the headquarters of the Shadow Alliance.
They were going to attack the Chief of the Shadow Alliance, Xiao Anran.
As long as they subdued Xiao Anran, they could successfully control the entire Shadow Alliance.
“Xiao Anran? I hope you’re not too weak. Don’t disappoint me!”
Chu Zhou smiled and looked forward to the upcoming Omnipotent Expert-level battle.
At the headquarters of the Shadow Alliance.
A pale and thin middle-aged man was wrapped in a thick coat, giving off a weak feeling.
From time to time, he would cough violently, as if he was seriously ill and did not have much time left.
Who would have thought that such a sickly and weak person was actually the head of the Shadow Alliance, Xiao Anran?
“Cough cough cough…”
Xiao Anran sat upright on a wooden chair. Suddenly, he covered his mouth and coughed violently for a while, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs.
He slowly stood up and looked through the window at the strange city formed by gray spires.
ii
In the blink of an eye, I’ve been the head of the Shadow Alliance for more than
30 years… Brother, I’ve done everything you instructed.”
“But I’m tired too…”
“Moreover, I’m probably humanity’s eternal sinner now! I’ll probably be infamous for ten thousand years…”
He suddenly sighed deeply with an indescribable fatigue on his face.
A figure that was filled with killing intent and looked like a god and a demon involuntarily appeared in his heart.
As if he had recalled some beautiful memories, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch into a smile.
However, as soon as this smile appeared, he coughed violently again.
A moment later, he stopped coughing.
“Brother, outsiders say that you’re cold and heartless and bloodthirsty, but how many people know that you’ve secretly done so much for humans?”
“However, Big Brother, you’re so ruthless to me… You threw me into the darkest place in this world and even made me the chief here! Take control of everything here…”
“I’m tired too!”
He sighed deeply and looked out of the city. A relieved smile appeared on his face.
“However, Big Brother, you’re really amazing. It’s fine if you’re a pervert yourself, but you actually gave birth to a perverted son…”
“Soon. He should be here soon.”
“I can also be free. I’ll hand everything here to him. Then, I’ll go find you, Big Brother. We brothers will reunite.”
“Of course… before handing everything here to him, I have to consider him and see how much of your magnanimity he has!”
With that, his figure disappeared into thin air.
At this moment, Chu Zhou and the others appeared in front of Shadow Base City No. One.
Looking at the huge city in front of them that was several times larger than the Shadow Base City No. Two and the Shadow Base City No. Three, like an ancient Behemoth, their expressions turned solemn.
This battle would determine whether they could control the entire Shadow Alliance and determine their life and death.
Even Chu Zhou’s expression became serious.
He did not dare to underestimate an Omnipotent Expert even if he was confident in defeating Xiao Anran..
