Chapter 75: Chapter 75: One Shot
A muffled thud rang out.
A bullet wrapped in extraordinary power, at this moment, shot towards the president’s back at an incredible speed.
The terrifying power, carrying an aura of dread, arrived in an instant.
The two highly-paid, incredibly powerful Transcendents, only sensed the deep yet intense killing intent at the moment the bullet exploded.
Their hearts jolted in shock, just as they were about to take action.
But...
"Bang!"
A muffled sound came from nearby.
The president, who had just been stepping towards Yunchuan Tavern, was instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist, dead beyond dead on the spot.
"Completed mission [Leader Assassination], all members receive Experience: 1500, Money: 3000 Copper Coins, Basic Energy Potion +2, Basic Defense Scroll +2."
"Captain receives title [Leader Assassin], Basic Ship Cannon Modification Scroll +1, Sea Ship Invisibility Scroll +1, Alchemy Technology: Alchemy Eye, Unknown Item: Unknown Black Card."
"Unlocked Leader Assassination, triggered faction hostility, hostile faction: Lighthouse Association, current hatred coefficient: 170!"
Leader assassination, the rewards are even richer than killing a Lord!
Even if the assassination target is an ordinary person, it is so.
Because what stands behind him is the Lighthouse Association faction!
But now is not the time for rolling Dice and doubling the rewards.
Because... after killing the faction leader, faction hatred arises, and from then on, any member of that faction will actively attack Fang Yu!
Just like now!
In the last moment, Fang Yu still erupted with intense killing intent, instantly shooting the president dead, but was consequently located by the two Transcendents.
The two Transcendents, as the high-salary hired bodyguards of the Lighthouse Association’s president, were evidently not comparable in strength to ordinary Transcendents.
The energy level exhibited at that moment was definitely over level 10.
Their eyes blazed angrily, faces flushed red, and they charged madly towards Fang Yu’s location.
Members of the Lighthouse Association quickly snapped out of their initial confusion and regained their composure.
Immediately, everyone followed the two Transcendents, rushing towards the room where Fang Yu was located.
However, when they got to the room where Fang Yu had been, they found it empty.
Fang Yu had long since departed after firing a shot, not looking back.
"Damn it, chase!"
"He must be breaking out towards the unsealed area, let’s chase towards the unsealed area!"
The two Transcendents, furious beyond measure.
Though this was just a job, having the person they’re meant to protect assassinated without anyone knowing was the greatest humiliation for the both of them.
Once this incident spreads, not a single employer will dare hire them again.
Keen perception? Powerful strength?
If you can’t even sense an assassin’s sniper, what use are you?
"It’s Fang Yu!"
A member glanced at the president’s posthumous state and exclaimed in shock.
"Only Fang Yu can fire such a bullet, instantly shattering a person!"
"Fang Yu?"
The two Transcendents exchanged glances, vaguely recalling: "Is that the person the vice president of the Ji Clan Trading Association specifically wanted dead?"
"Yes!"
"Fang Yu..."
They murmured, then spoke: "Let’s go, chase first, if we can’t catch him... that brat will definitely return to Qiyun Port, we’ll ambush him there!"
...
"Hey you, over there, stop, come over and undergo inspection!"
"Who are you? This area is sealed off, you need an inspection to pass!"
In the sealed area, a soldier in uniform saw Fang Yu preparing to cross the blockade towards the port, took a step forward, and loudly shouted.
"I’m your dad!"
Fang Yu sneered coldly, his wrist transforming into a gun.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Two shots, directly blasting the two blockers on the spot.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack! This man is Fang Yu!"
Someone shouted loudly, and soldiers in uniform immediately raised their guns, rushing towards Fang Yu.
Fang Yu had no time to waste with these soldiers; after two days of failed interception, the guarding forces at the blockade had dwindled to just over a dozen.
If it had been a full army, Fang Yu might have avoided its edge.
But with just over a dozen guards, they couldn’t block Fang Yu.
A faint blue glow emerged from Fang Yu’s body, deflecting all incoming bullets with his shield, clinking continuously, yet never piercing through the thin shield layer.
With a cold gaze, Fang Yu looked at the soldiers rushing towards him, shot two more down, and then moved swiftly, breaking through the blockade at high speed.
More than ten ordinary soldiers couldn’t do anything to Fang Yu, nor break through his shield.
Fang Yu sprinted, quickly leaving the soldiers behind. Following the soul connection with the Salted Fish, he sensed its location and sprinted to its side.
Upon boarding the ship, Fang Yu seemed to see the leader of the Black Snake Gang lounging leisurely on the beach, holding up a coconut in a gesture as if to salute him.
Fang Yu nodded slightly; later, there might be a confrontation between the Black Snake Gang and the Lighthouse Association on Nangang Bu Island, or an investigation by the Ocean Court into the Lighthouse Association.
But no matter what, the documents he needed were in hand, and the crew safely onboard, so these matters were no longer his concern.
Without another word, Fang Yu piloted the Salted Fish, heading towards Qiyun Port.
As Fang Yu’s ship sailed away from the port of Nangang Bu Island, the two Transcendents from the Lighthouse Association also arrived at the port.
They stared at the departing silhouette of Fang Yu’s ship with heavy eyes, then, without a word, boarded a Lighthouse Association ship to pursue the Salted Fish.
However...
This ship, having just left the port for less than 5 minutes.
Then...
"Boom!"
It self-destructed.
The blazing fire lit up the coast in vivid red; someone had planted explosives on the Lighthouse Association ship.
The two Transcendents, yet to catch up to Fang Yu, were blown to pieces over the sea.
At this moment, the leader of the Black Snake Gang finished sipping his coconut juice, stood up, stretched lazily, and murmured:
"Brother Fang Yu... this is an extra gift from your older brother, hehe..."
"The coming days are going to be busy..."
The Black Snake Gang leader, hands behind his back, wobbled his head as if he were an idle beach bum.
Halfway through, he seemed to remember something, muttering: "Oh, I also need to fetch my wife back... It was a hassle convincing her to drink and sleep with that bastard, I’ll have to really coax her when she returns..."
"Liking married women? Didn’t expect my wife was sent by me to sleep with you, did you?"
To harvest in business, one’s head must also wear a bit of green.
This is the life wisdom of the Black Snake Gang leader...
