This assassin is upright

Chapter 316: Second Rebirth Trial Cleared! (Seeking monthly votes!)

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhun glanced at Bi Changfeng with a half-smile, pondered for a moment, and then took out another set of equipment and tossed it to him.

That was a set of epic equipment enhanced to +20.

Although Bi Changfeng is also on a team, he hasn't really done anything yet. Providing a set of cheap epic-level equipment is enough.

Moreover, Bi Changfeng himself was very satisfied with the equipment. After receiving it, he cherished it as if it were a treasure, hugging it and kissing it repeatedly until Sijia looked at him with a somewhat disgusted gaze, at which point he restrained himself a bit.

"Next, we'll head straight to the Assassin's Hall."

Yu Zhun spoke in a deep voice, a sharp glint in his eyes.

He wanted to meet the leader of the Assassin's Hall to see what kind of strength the other party possessed and why he was specifically targeting him.

"This way!"

Scarlett looked around and quickly determined the specific direction.

The three of them headed toward the Assassin's Hall at top speed.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Yu Zhun followed the route that Si Jia had taken before and sped forward until he finally saw the shadow of a palace far away at the end of the sky.

"Is that the Assassin's Hall?"

“Yes,” Bi Changfeng said in a deep voice, “The Assassin’s Hall is located in a place known as ‘The End of the World’.”

"After passing the Assassin's Hall, there is nothing else but a desolate land. However, an invisible force blocks any attempt to enter that desolate land, preventing any progress."

At this point, a solemn expression appeared on Bi Changfeng's face.

To this day, no one has been able to explain why this happened.

Yu Zhun's lips twitched violently.

This is just an invisible wall.

The world of divine revelation also has boundaries, and such things also exist at those boundaries.

Shaking his head slightly to clear his mind of the jumbled thoughts, Yu Zhun's eyes regained their sharpness.

He had a premonition that if he stormed into the Assassin's Hall, his second-stage trial would end prematurely.

However, he has already killed enough people in this instance, and he will probably kill even more after entering the Assassin's Hall.

The power of greed has been accumulated to a sufficient extent.

and so…

"How do I enter the Assassin's Hall?"

“The conventional methods cannot enter the Assassin’s Hall, which is an important reason why the Assassin’s Hall has always remained aloof,” Bi Changfeng explained. “From a place where the Assassin’s Hall is visible, members of the Assassin’s Hall can activate their own tokens to teleport into the hall.”

"This token can also carry people, but the number of people it can carry varies depending on the token's level."

"Scarlett is an Ironclad Assassin; she cannot bring people with her."

"I am a golden-clad assassin, and I can bring a maximum of three people with me."

As he spoke, Bi Changfeng took out a golden token from his sleeve.

Yu Zhun had obtained quite a few similar tokens when he killed those guys before. He casually pulled out one now, "So, I can teleport in by myself?"

"No." Bi Changfeng's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the keepsake in Yu Zhun's hand, which belonged to some unfortunate soul who he didn't know.

"The token is bound to the person and cannot be used by others."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhun took the token back.

I never expected that the concept of bound items would exist in this place.

"Then teleport me in."

In the past two days, he and Bi Changfeng had also communicated, and by now they had established a basic level of trust, so there was nothing to worry about regarding this small matter.

“Okay.” Bi Changfeng nodded emphatically, then took a deep breath, his eyes becoming serious.

He knew that once Yu Zhun was brought into the Assassin's Hall, there would be no turning back.

But Yu Zhun gave way too much…

Touching the new armor he was wearing, the last trace of hesitation in Bi Changfeng's eyes quietly vanished. He tightly gripped the token, and a stream of light burst forth from it, then enveloped him and Yu Zhun.

The light was not aggressive, so Yu Zhun allowed it to entangle him.

On the other side, Scarlett also activated her own keepsake.

A flash of light, and the three of them vanished from their spot.

With a slight dizziness, Yu Zhun regained his footing and found himself in a magnificent, golden palace.

The hall was orderly, with clear divisions between various areas such as entertainment, mission, and leisure. Yu Zhun only glanced at it briefly before spotting hundreds or even thousands of people.

They wore different ranks of assassin robes, signifying their respective identities. Among them, only a few assassins wore gold robes, while the majority wore silver and bronze robes, and the rest wore iron robes.

Bi Changfeng and Si Jia also appeared beside Yu Zhun.

Upon arriving here, both of them were now wearing identical robes; Bi Changfeng's was gold, while Sijia's was dark iron.

Clearly, this is something special about this place; everyone who belongs to the Assassin's Guild will be given robes upon arrival.

As a result, Yu Zhun, who was the only one wearing the previous clothes, stood out conspicuously.

The moment he appeared, the noise and commotion in the hall fell silent for a brief moment.

When they finally saw Yu Zhun's face, the room erupted in cheers.

After such a long time, the order from the Hall Master had already been passed from the Gold-Clad Assassins to the Iron-Clad Assassins. At this moment, the fact that the Hall Master was using the entire Assassin Hall's power to hunt down a guy codenamed "God of Slaughter" was already common knowledge within the Assassin Hall.

Just now, quite a few assassins were talking about this.

And now, the target of the Palace Master's order has actually come here.

"Bi Changfeng, what are you doing?" Another assassin in gold robes asked slowly, his face darkening. "Why did you bring him here?"

"Don't misunderstand." Before Bi Changfeng could speak, Yu Zhun said with a smile, "I just think it's too troublesome for you all to come and assassinate me one by one."

"That's why I volunteered to give you all the opportunity to come together."

"Arrogant!" the golden-clad assassin hissed, looking at Bi Changfeng and Si Jia who were still standing behind Yu Zhun. His angry shout echoed throughout the area, "Golden-clad assassin Bi Changfeng and iron-clad assassin Si Jia have disobeyed the Palace Master's order and are now considered the same as the Palace Master's target. Everyone, kill them!"

As his shout echoed, the entire Assassin's Hall instantly erupted in chaos, with countless assassins employing various methods to instantly attack Yu Zhun.

Although the individual assassins are not as strong as last time, the number of assassins attacking this time is more than ten times that of last time.

As he watched the assassins swarming towards him like dumplings being dropped into a pot, a strange smile flickered across Yu Zhun's lips.

"Just in time."

In the final moments of clearing the second job advancement trial, let the stacking of [Greed Power] become even more intense!

With a stomp of his foot, gray-black energy rapidly swept in all directions, centered on Yu Zhun.

The seven-colored title, "Withered End," is now available!
As the power of decay enveloped the entire area, Yu Zhun raised the dagger in his hand. Accompanied by a death knell tolling from the void, he instantly appeared in front of the nearest person, ending the fight with a single strike, and then turned to kill the second person.

Skills, equipment effects, passive skills, and secret treasures.

Facing over a thousand formidable assassins who strike fear into the hearts of outsiders, Yu Zhun seems to possess an inexhaustible supply of methods.

All the skills accumulated in every dungeon and the improvements gained from every life-or-death struggle were poured out without reservation at this moment.

kill!

kill! !
kill! ! !

Amidst the continuous tolling of death bells, each of Yu Zhun's moves inevitably claimed a life, the sound of death echoing in every corner of the hall.

Having acquired powerful equipment and greatly increased their strength, Si Jia and Bi Changfeng, who had originally planned to fight alongside Yu Zhun, looked at each other in bewilderment. They were astonished to find that even with such powerful equipment, they still couldn't keep up with Yu Zhun's pace.

They don't even have the ability to finish off enemies.

Because every move Yu Zhun makes is a guaranteed kill!

No one could survive a second attack against him!

At this moment, Yu Zhun was like a death god who had come from hell to earth, constantly stirring up a storm of blood and gore!
The number of survivors in the arena dwindled, and those who remained were utterly terrified. Even the top-tier assassins in gold armor were fleeing in disarray!

At that moment, Yu Zhun had a sudden thought and abruptly stopped in his tracks.

The next instant, a blood-red longsword appeared before him.

A figure dressed in a dark gold robe appeared silently, his face masked, but his exposed eyes were filled with terrifying killing intent.

"This is not a place for you." His deep voice, carrying an undeniable authority, echoed throughout the room.

"Hall Master!"

The surviving assassins seemed to have found their backbone, and instantly became excited, their shattered faith regaining a sliver of strength.

The strongest member of the Assassin's Hall has finally appeared!
"kill him!"

"He killed so many of us! The Temple Master killed him!"

"We must not let him get away!"

"... "

Amidst the shouts of the assassins, Yu Zhun curiously sized up the leader of the Assassin Hall before him, "Why do you want to kill me?"

He was really curious.

Logically speaking, what he did before was nothing compared to the entire world of the second-stage trial, so why was he targeted?
Could it be that the master of the God and Demon Palace deliberately made things more difficult for him?
No, no, no, the other party shouldn't be that bored.

Is it...

Yu Zhun suddenly thought of something.

He used the [Hidden Path Optimization Card] when he entered this place!
Perhaps because of this, the second-stage trial has also undergone some changes.

The original main storyline of the trial should have been to make a name for oneself, join the Assassin's Hall, and gradually rise to the level of a Golden-Clad Assassin.

But now, the Assassin's Guild stands directly against him.

"Because a deep intuition tells me that your existence will bring terrible consequences to this world, I must eliminate you."

The leader of the Assassin's Hall spoke in a deep voice, "Now it seems that the intuition was correct."

"You are a very dangerous person."

"If I let you live, the whole world will be destroyed!"

So... die!

With a roar, the Palace Master's longsword suddenly unleashed terrifying power, slashing heavily towards Yu Zhun's face.

"boom!!!"

With a loud bang, Yu Zhun's body was sent flying backward uncontrollably.

Even after so many kills, his current attributes are still only barely on par with his opponent.

"As expected of a second-tier trial boss." Yu Zhun clicked his tongue lightly, quickly stabilized his body in mid-air, and then charged towards his opponent.

"But with this little skill, you can't kill me!"

As he spoke, Yu Zhun flashed back to his opponent, his gray domain instantly enveloping the entire area. The unleashed [Assassin's Domain] instantly suppressed his opponent's agility.

Switch weapons, unleash your power!
With the enhancement of the equipment, Yu Zhun suddenly sprang into action, charging towards the Assassin Hall Master at a terrifying speed that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

Sensing a life-or-death threat, the Assassin Lord let out a low roar, and the weapon in his hand suddenly burst into light, his aura surging.

It's an equipment effect!
Because of the background concept that this world is connected with the world of divine revelation, the bosses in the second-tier trial also have abilities that are almost identical to those of the players!

They don't have unique Boss skills, but they are much more powerful!

This is something Yu Zhun has never encountered before in any dungeon!

If a player hesitates and lingers during the first job advancement stage, relying on 3A dungeons to survive until level 60, they will surely die in front of such an opponent.

嗏

"I've killed so many players in the 4A dungeon, why would I be afraid of a fake player like you?" With a sneer, Yu Zhun stomped his foot, activating the [Iron Hoof] effect on his boots, causing all his attributes to surge again.

Epic-level equipment wants to compete with legendary-level equipment in terms of effectiveness?
The light from the activated equipment flashed continuously on the two of them. The two, who had already turned into afterimages, kept moving and fighting in the hall of the Assassin's Hall. The clanging of weapons was deafening, leaving Sijia and Bi Changfeng dumbfounded.

"Master, can he win?" Scarlett couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know either, I hope so..." Bi Changfeng murmured subconsciously, but then his pupils suddenly contracted.

"Pfft-"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh was particularly jarring.

In mid-air, Yu Zhun's dagger finally pierced the chest of the Assassin's Palace Master. The trigger of the [Upright and Honest] talent instantly emptied his health bar, and then emptied it again. It was a terrifying killing intent that no equipment effect could unleash, and it was the most powerful strike Yu Zhun had ever delivered.

“It’s over.” Yu Zhun looked at the Assassin Lord, whose pupils were gradually losing their vitality. “Even the prophecy of the gods may not be correct.”

"I will not bring destruction to this world, but I will bring a new future to the path of the assassin."

"because…"

As his voice resonated, lines of text appeared before my eyes.

Yu Zhun's resounding voice echoed within the Assassin's Hall.

"From this day forward, I am the King of Assassins!"

"King of Assassins..." the Assassin Lord uttered weakly, then completely lost his last breath. A complex emotion froze in his unhealable eyes, a mixture of fear and anticipation.

"Boom-"

His corpse fell heavily to the ground, but the dark gold assassin's robe floated back up and naturally draped over Yu Zhun's shoulders in the windless space.

The next instant, Yu Zhun vanished from the spot along with his black gold robe.

"Master...where did Yu Zhun go?" Si Jia stared wide-eyed at the spot where Yu Zhun disappeared and couldn't help but ask.

“Who knows?” Bi Changfeng shook his head slightly, his voice tinged with a hint of regret. “But there is one thing I am very clear about.”

"He went where he was supposed to go."

"And we seem to have witnessed a legend."
