Chapter 60

In the rain, the cold and ruthless sound was like a sharp blade placed under the throats of the three killers, exuding a strange and sinister aura.

Bathed in the light of thunder and lightning, the three simultaneously saw the panic on Feng Jueyu's face, a hint of cruelty flashing across it. It was an expression they were familiar with, the one they always wore when facing a helpless opponent, whose eyes were filled with despair. Their faces would always show the same expression as Feng Jueyu's at that moment.

It seemed they had the upper hand, and their opponent was waiting to be humiliated. The feeling was exquisite.

But now, the positions of the victor and the vanquished seemed to have switched, and there was nothing exquisite about it. The face of the man, who was known as a coward and a weakling by the upper echelons of Tian Nan City, actually showed such an expression.

Why were his eyes so terrifying...

In an instant, as Feng Jueyu's expression changed, the three felt an inexplicable sense of hopeless fear rise in their hearts. Their 108 million pores instantly tightened, and their hair stood on end.

"Crack!"

A bolt of lightning struck, and before they could even see clearly, three golden needles appeared in their pupils, each glowing with a cold and lethal light...

It was an extraordinary golden light, cold and filled with a sharp killing intent. They seemed to see the golden light pierce through the raindrops falling from the sky, entering and exiting without deforming or breaking them, indicating the astonishing speed of the golden light.

The accuracy was astonishing!

When the three realized the golden light had appeared and their faces showed fear, they felt a chill between their eyebrows, as if a hair had pierced deep into their foreheads. At the same time, a raging fire seemed to ignite within them, or a highly venomous fire scorpion was crawling inside, gnawing at their organs.

The pain was unprecedented. It was poison, and their eyes, filled with panic, showed even greater fear. What kind of poison was this?

Fire poison!

Thud, thud, thud!

The three fell to their knees, tearing at their clothes. When their clothes were in tatters, they began to tear at their skin, leaving deep bloody marks.

Even as they tore their flesh, they did not stop. Compared to the burning pain inside, the surface nerves were numb. They tore at themselves while spewing blood, the ground stained red with blood, which was then washed away by the heavy rain.

In the pouring rain, the three killers, torn to shreds, screamed in agony, their voices hoarse from exhaustion, gradually unable to make a sound.

Steam rose from their heads, as if they were being scalded, and they were drenched in sweat...

Their blood and sweat mingled, blurring their bodies. When they tore to the bone, the friction made a squeaking sound, adding to the eerie and cold atmosphere of the rain.

The sound of their cries, like the wailing of ghosts, echoed through the dark alley, especially clear.

The three instantly had the urge to commit suicide, but they could not. At this moment, the "waste" who had fled like a rat earlier walked over, the rhythmic sound of his shoes on the wet ground.

Like a cold executioner, he walked towards them, ready to send them to their deaths.

"You..."

The leader, a Qi Wu realm killer, looked at Feng Jueyu, whom they had chased like a rat into the alley, with disbelief. He could not believe that this waste had such astonishing needle skills.

Those three golden needles, in terms of accuracy and speed, reached the level of a true killer.

No, even more terrifying than a killer.

His poison was also ruthless...

Ruthlessly inhumane...

"You... golden needles..."

In an instant, the three killers recalled the ambush ten days ago outside Lianlang Mountain. The brothers who returned said they had encountered a master of flying needles, who had defeated the Gold and Silver Society's experts, saving the Mu family army from the brink of death. This person had a strong mind, leading the Mu family army to counterattack the Gold and Silver Society's killers, resulting in only half of the dozens of killers escaping.

The golden needles and the cunning mind matched the Feng Jueyu before them...

"You, you are... the one who saved the... Mu family army..."

The killer struggled to hold on to his last breath, asking the last question of his life. Unfortunately, he did not hear the answer and died in the alley, becoming an anonymous cold corpse...

"You're right." Feng Jueyu squatted down, his face expressionless. As a highly skilled killer, a few corpses could not affect his state of mind.

"Provoking me, you were unlucky. Reflect well in the afterlife."

Squatting down to examine the bodies, Feng Jueyu was surprised by the gruesome state of the three killers, even to himself. He marveled at the power of the extreme yang fire poison generated by the transformation of life and death qi. He was also pleased, knowing that with this extreme yang fire poison, as long as he could break through the enemy's defenses, even the most formidable opponent could be defeated.

In the previous encounter with the Gold and Silver Society's killers, Feng Jueyu had used the death qi to destroy the enemy's meridians. This time, he used the true qi transformed from life and death qi, which had another use. Although the method was cruel, for a killer, as long as it could increase the success rate of the mission and create the terrifying effect of a killer's murder, it was worth it.

Killing is a reciprocal act, regardless of whether it is cruel or not.

It seems my understanding of the death qi is not deep enough. Since it can transform into extreme yang and extreme yin toxic true qi, it might be able to transform into other things. Yes, I must develop the life and death qi further; it is my capital for survival.

Searching the bodies, Feng Jueyu prepared to retrieve the three golden needles. After all, these were rare, and he was not a banker; he could save where he could.

He had just retrieved two needles and was about to retrieve the last one when he heard light, hurried footsteps from the alley entrance. If it had not been raining, Feng Jueyu might have listened longer to determine the identity of the person. But now, there was no need. Running so fast in such heavy rain, who could it be but the three dead men's comrades?

Listening carefully, he heard two voices from the alley entrance:

"Brother, it seems the fourth one went this way?"

"No sound of fighting, did they go far?"

"Look, there are marks left by them. I hope the fourth one doesn't kill Feng Jueyu. If we can't catch Shangguan Ruofan, we can still use him."

...

Feng Jueyu's ears twitched: "Damn, they came back? But this is good, Ruofan is finally safe. Hmph, since you're here, you won't leave."

Feng Jueyu thought for a moment, dispersing the life and death qi, his eyes becoming incredibly clear. From a distance, a golden and a purple light began to approach him.

"True Wu, Ling Wu?" Feng Jueyu drew a sharp breath. His strength had improved rapidly recently, and he felt he had a good chance against a True Wu realm expert, but a Ling Wu realm expert was different, with a gap of at least eight levels. It was uncertain whether he could break through their defenses. He did not expect two experts to come at once.

The True Wu realm one was easy to deal with, but how to handle the Ling Wu realm one?

Feng Jueyu thought hard, his eyes scanning the bodies. A sudden idea came to him, and he flipped one of the bodies over, face down, and used a golden needle to write two characters on the bare back:

Evil Emperor!

Then, Feng Jueyu inserted the golden needle into the Dazhui point at the back of the neck, smiled, and used the life and death qi to conceal his presence, climbing onto the roof.

Not long after, the Gold and Silver Society's leader and another black-clothed man ran into the alley. When they saw the three bodies lying in the alley, they both gasped. The black-clothed man ran over and, upon closer inspection, cried out: "Brother, it's the fourth one..."

"What?" The leader was shocked, running over to see the three bodies almost torn to shreds, his anger rising: "Fourth, Fifth, bastards, who did this, so cruel?"

"Fourth, Fourth!" The black-clothed man's voice was filled with sobs, trying to suppress the unbearable sound: "Brother, this revenge cannot be ignored."

The leader looked around cautiously, suppressing his anger: "Of course, we will take revenge, but since the third one and the others are dead, it means the enemy is still nearby. We must be cautious."

Feng Jueyu, on the roof, held his breath, feeling anxious. He thought, "These two idiots are talking so much, hurry up and take the needle."

The golden needles were coated with the extreme yang fire poison transformed from the life and death qi. As soon as they touched it, they would become infected, greatly reducing their combat ability. This was Feng Jueyu's goal. He knew a qualified killer would be very cautious, so he deliberately left the "Evil Emperor" to provoke them. Unfortunately, the leader and the killer were so enraged that they did not even notice the words on the back of the dead man.

Fortunately, Feng Jueyu's efforts were not in vain. Just as he was getting anxious, the black-clothed man, who was squatting by the body, suddenly said: "Brother, look at this."

He then flipped the body over, and the blood-red "Evil Emperor" characters were shocking.

The leader, who had suppressed his anger, could no longer hold back: "Damn, leaving a message after killing, underestimating our Gold and Silver Society. This person is incredibly bold and arrogant. If I catch him, I will flay him alive."

"Brother, look at this." As the leader was speaking, the black-clothed man, to Feng Jueyu's relief, discovered the extreme yang fire poison needle and picked it up, handing it over.

The leader, without suspicion, took it, examined it closely, and his expression changed: "Golden needle? The brothers who returned from Lianlang Mountain were injured by a master of golden needles. I heard the golden needles were coated with a highly toxic substance?"

"Highly toxic?"
