That despicable, scheming woman, she actually disguised herself as an elf lady!

"Huh? Shoe shine?!"

"What does this mean!"

Upon hearing this, Fina was immediately amused.

"Kid, you got lucky last time, but Lady Luck won't be on your side this time!"

"If you had simply handed over five gold coins obediently and let Ian pamper you, nothing would have happened!"

Ian was the effeminate wandering swordsman who had long coveted Liu Huan.

If it weren't for the guild's restrictions, he would have taken care of the other party while carrying out the mission!

Liu Huan couldn't help but shiver when he felt Ian's undisguised greedy gaze.

He was clearly aware of the other person's fetishes, but he never expected that he would be the target this time!

"I've changed my mind!"

Liu Huan felt deeply insulted by this, and drew his long sword from his waist, his eyes flashing with cold light.

He said coldly, "Letting you shine shoes was too lenient! Next, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

"What?! Hahaha!!"

Upon hearing Liu Huan's words, the members of the Venomous Fang Squad burst into open laughter.

Ian, in particular, was laughing so hard he almost cried.

"Did you hear that? This newcomer, fresh out of school, is trying to make us wish we were dead!"

Fina wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and said coldly, "Don't waste time. That demonic snake will soon deal with the bait. I don't want to be targeted by the Swamp Demonic Snake."

In the darkness of night, only moss and ferns emitted a faint glow around the deep forest.

In the distance, the screams of adventurers echoed, along with the sounds of explosions as rocks cracked.

The members of the Venomous Fang Squad formed a semi-circle, surrounding Liu Huan.

Seeing this, Liu Huan decided to strike first.

He took two pebbles out of his sleeve and held them in his hand.

In an instant, the pebbles shot out like cannonballs, heading straight for the only two torches of the Venomous Fang Squad.

"Be careful!"

Andrei reacted quickly, but it was too late.

In an instant, the torch was hit precisely by the stone!

Everyone's vision went dark, and a fear called pitch-black helplessness filled the hearts of every member of the Venomous Fang Squad.

In a panic, Andrei ordered his men to relight the two torches.

The warm firelight reappeared, dispelling the darkness and causing certain unknown entities that had been lurking in the shadows to retreat.

But Liu Huan was nowhere to be found.

Andrei angrily looked around and shouted, "Don't let this kid escape! He hasn't gone far yet, search him now!"

Upon hearing this, the Poison Fang Squad scattered like birds and beasts, dispersing to search for Liu Huan's whereabouts.

This was exactly what Liu Huan wanted!

No sooner had these words been spoken than a cold glint appeared from behind the Venom Fang Squad.

The approaching wind, carrying a fierce gust of wind, was fast approaching, with only a few leaves slowly falling from the air.

This time, the cleric of the Venomous Fang Squad became the target. He didn't expect Liu Huan to dare to launch a surprise attack!

He could only watch helplessly as the sword light flashed past his eyes, and then everything went black as he was plunged into endless darkness.

"Holy crap, Chris's dead?!"

Ian saw a flash of sword light and had no time to react before his friend beside him was cleaved in two.

The fear of death surged up in my heart like a tide.

He hadn't felt this way in a long time!

I vaguely remember that he was a newbie back then, and when he faced the ferocious goblin, he was so frightened that he stood there, unable to move.

"Damn it! When did this kid become so powerful?!" Ian couldn't help but curse.

His role is that of a ranger, so naturally he is the strongest in the Venom Fang squad when it comes to night vision.

Even so, Ian failed to detect Liu Huan's movements or react to the attack.

What if I were the one being attacked!

Thinking of this, Ian couldn't help but tremble!

Not only him, but Andrei was equally incredulous. He rushed over the moment he heard the priest's scream.

Upon seeing the corpse on the ground, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he resembled a ferocious beast about to go berserk.

Andrei clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, determined to make Liu Huan pay the price.

Little did he know, Liu Huan had already stealthily moved to a short distance behind him, blending seamlessly into the environment.

With his eyes slightly narrowed and his breathing barely touching the air, there wasn't even the slightest ripple.

He felt the familiar roughness of the sword hilt, which seemed to gnarle like tree roots in his palm.

This is the unity of man and sword that countless swordsmen dream of!

With each breath, the sword flashed out like lightning, its tip moving faster than the speed of sound, producing a sharp, piercing sound in the open space.

"Captain, watch out!!"

Just as Liu Huan's attack was about to land, the rest of the Poison Fang Squad reacted.

At this moment, Andrei felt a great sense of crisis, as if his back was being pricked by needles, making him feel extremely uneasy.

"Pfft--"

A flash of sword light, and scalding blood splattered everywhere!

That's exactly the feeling of a sharp blade piercing flesh, and it's also true that blood gushing out like a fountain.

But Liu Huan thought to himself, "What a pity."

Because in his near-death experience, Andrei's will to survive reached its peak.

He twisted his body so that the sword aimed at his heart was instead aimed at his shoulder.

Having missed his target, Liu Huan fled far away.

"We have plenty of time, we can take our time playing!"

"Heh heh, wake up, it's hunting time!!"

Liu Huan didn't feel sorry about the previous defeat. His face was as cold as ice, and a faint smile appeared on his lips, as if the Grim Reaper had descended to earth.

After saying that, he disappeared from everyone's sight again.

Andrei, meanwhile, clutched his injured shoulder, his breathing rumbling like thunder.

Fear flashed in Fina's eyes: "How did Liu Huan become so strong? Just a month ago, he was a novice adventurer who had just entered the Blood Awakening Realm!!"

"I'm afraid his strength is now no weaker than mine," Andrei said cautiously as he drank the healing potion in one gulp.

"How could that be?"

"Why not? If there's a fortuitous encounter, then it's a different story!"

"What an amazing encounter!"

Upon hearing Andrei's explanation, greed flashed in everyone's eyes, followed by fear.

Liu Huan, who was hiding in the shadows, felt his killing intent grow even stronger after hearing Andrei's words.

That's a pretty accurate guess, but in that case, none of these people can be allowed to stay!

Liu Huan's strength reached the third stage of Bone Forging shortly after the commission ended, and he is now not far from the Purification stage.

The Poison Fang Squad is nothing but a bunch of weaklings. With a little planning, Liu Huan is confident he can wipe them out and rid Maple Leaf Town of a menace.

Liu Huan had been hiding his strength to take down Andrei, but due to his lack of combat experience, he only managed to eliminate one person.

Fortunately, the hunt is not over yet!

The night spread out like thick ink, and a cold wind swept by, leaving the members of the Venomous Fang Squad with only a sense of desolation and loneliness.

Even more deadly is the hunter lurking in the shadows.

Andrei suddenly stared at a certain spot and warned, "Watch out, he's here again!"

This time, Liu Huan, who was becoming increasingly adept at his methods, did not choose Andrei as his prey.

Instead, they chose to remove the annoying branches and leaves from the main trunk first!

Liu Huan held his breath and kept quiet. After waiting for the right moment, he disappeared from the spot in an instant, leaving only the deep imprint of his high boots on the ground.

In the enemy's eyes, Liu Huan shot out and transformed into a wisp of breeze, silently arriving behind them.

Liu Huan unleashed a full-force attack, and this time, the enemy was none other than Ian!

"Hokushin-ryu - Slash!!"

The sword sliced ​​through the air like a serpent, slicing across Ion's neck.

"Ugh... Captain... Captain, help me!"

With her trachea cut, Ion was unable to speak a complete sentence.

He could only cover his throat and desperately try to stop the gushing blood, but it was all in vain.

Gradually, my vision grew darker and darker, and a feeling of oxygen deprivation and drowsiness washed over me at the same time.

"No...no! I don't want to...die!"

He inexplicably reached out and made a few grasping motions in the air, then collapsed straight down.

Liu Huan stood not far away, watching the entire process of Yin En's death. Recalling the dirty things the Venomous Fang Squad had done in the past, his softened heart hardened again.

He had personally heard Ian boast that he had broken several "toys" in the past few days, or that he had recently found a new "toy" that he coveted.

In Liu Huan's view.

This kind of person deserves to die!

Furthermore, seeing Liu Huan's increasingly skilled movements and elusive figure, Andrei felt a chill run down his spine.

This is probably the strength of someone who has undergone three rounds of bone forging!

He considered backing out, but when he saw Liu Huan's cold gaze, he felt endless regret.

Why did I have to provoke such a freak!

But Andrei never considered one thing: if you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.
