#72 - Night Raid

"Well, I'm afraid this is the only option left," Ghost said with a gloomy face, nodding slightly. "Then let's do it tonight, lest complications arise! Let's quickly finish the mission target so we can go back for drinks and meat!"

...

Time quickly came to night. It seemed that even the heavens were on their side. Tonight, dark clouds covered the moon, and the surroundings were dim. The entire sky seemed to be dyed black with ink.

As the saying goes, it's a dark and windy night, perfect for murder and arson!

The two took off the armor they wore for protection. That stuff was too heavy and hindered their movements. Moreover, their mission this time was assassination. The armor was supported by metal, and even a slight collision would make noise. If they alerted the guards, it would be troublesome.

To avoid suspicion, the two put on tight-fitting black clothes and wore bandit-like masks, departing from the Spirit Hall in Star Luo City.

As Titled Douluos, both of them possessed top-notch speed. Even Chrysanthemum Pass, despite being a Power Attack System Titled Douluo, likely had a speed no less than the patriarch of the Agile Clan. Not to mention Ghost, an Agile Attack System Titled Douluo.

Using the darkness of the night and ghost-like speed, the two easily avoided the heavily armored soldiers patrolling the entrance. Those heavily armored soldiers didn't even notice their presence, and this was only the first line of defense.

"Hmph, a bunch of fools!" Chrysanthemum Pass thought coldly, "Even though they are the most elite heavy armor army of the Star Luo Empire, in front of me and Old Ghost, they are just a bunch of good-for-nothings."

Just then, Ghost, who was scouting ahead, suddenly stopped. Seeing this, Chrysanthemum Pass was startled and used soul power to transmit a message: "Old Ghost, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly stop?"

"Chrysanthemum Pass, look there!"

"Huh?"

Chrysanthemum Pass followed Ghost's gaze and saw dozens of bells hanging between the corridors. These bells were connected to each other by invisible thin lines and were incredibly resilient.

A slight touch would cause them to shake violently, making the bells ring, thereby alerting others to an enemy invasion.

Because the windows inside the Alchemist Association were closed, the possibility of the wind blowing and causing the bells to ring was very small, so it could only be an enemy invasion.

These bells were not there during the day; they were only hung up by black-clothed death warriors at night.

These black-clothed death warriors were all carefully cultivated by Dai Po Jun. Not only were they loyal, but they were also skilled. Each death warrior was an elite among assassins! Some of them were even Soul Masters proficient in assassination.

In addition to the bells, twenty black-clothed death warriors with explosives strapped to their bodies patrolled each floor of the Alchemist Association.

"Old Ghost, we need to find a way to get rid of these annoying bells without alarming the surrounding guards, or we're done for."

"I know. Let's work together to remove those annoying bells."

"Okay!"

The two took out daggers and acted simultaneously, rushing towards the bells at both ends of the thin lines. As an Agile Attack System Titled Douluo, Ghost's speed was undoubtedly faster, but he adapted well to Chrysanthemum Pass's pace.

The two attacked at the same time, cutting the thin lines connecting the bells and putting them into their soul tools the moment they were about to make a sound.

The two had been together for more than sixty years and were an old team. They cooperated tacitly, and the other could understand without saying much.

Using this method, the two quickly solved the bells between the floors, successfully bypassed the guards, and arrived at the top floor of the Alchemist Association.

This was where Yang Wudi lived. In the entire Alchemist Association, only Yang Wudi could come to the fifth floor. Others were forbidden from entering the top floor.

Even those black-clothed death warriors were absolutely not allowed to step into the top floor unless it was an emergency.

This puzzled the alchemists in the association. For a time, rumors spread. Some said that Yang Wudi was refining a deadly poison enough to slaughter a city, while others said that he was researching a miraculous pill that could help Soul Masters quickly improve their soul power.

In short, the most mysterious place in the entire Alchemist Association was undoubtedly the fifth floor, the top floor.

"Hmph, what a bunch of fools!" Chrysanthemum Pass mocked, "Knowing that their president lives here, there aren't any guards."

"Hmph hmph, could it be to prevent the president from singing and dancing all night long?" Ghost sneered. He had already imagined Yang Wudi occasionally bringing some beauties here to enjoy himself.

"Let's go, Old Ghost. There are no guards here, nor those troublesome bells. Let's hurry over, kill the person, and leave!"

After speaking, Chrysanthemum Pass immediately walked towards Yang Wudi's room. Suddenly, a sense of crisis suddenly came. Just as he took a step, there was a sudden explosion under his feet.

Boom! ! !

"What? !"

Only a sudden explosion was heard, and Chrysanthemum Pass was swallowed by the sudden explosion. His whole body was blown upside down, and his legs were covered in scars!

As mentioned earlier, the entire top floor was the most mysterious place in the Alchemist Association, and no one could step into it. There were many rumors about the top floor, but these rumors were false.

The reason why no one was allowed to step into it was because this was the third line of defense that Dai Po Jun had set up to protect Yang Wudi—a minefield!

The latest and most complete novels are at Liu Jiu Shu Ba’s initial release!

In the corridor on the top floor, dense landmines were laid out. In the entire Alchemist Association, only Yang Wudi was familiar with the layout of the landmines, and only he could enter and exit freely.

The power of each landmine was enough to kill a Defense System Soul Sage. With so many landmines, even a Titled Douluo would surely die if they were caught in the explosion without using soul power to protect their body.

The most important point of the minefield was to serve as a warning. Compared to guards and bells, this minefield was an unsolvable existence. Who would have thought that such powerful weapons would be hidden in the floor under their feet?

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Protect the president!"

After hearing the explosion from the top floor, the black-clothed death warriors between the floors and the heavily armored soldiers downstairs rushed up, and they were about to rush to the top floor soon. The time left for the two was already not much.

Whether to retreat or continue the mission was up to them. In the end, Ghost chose to continue the mission. If this assassination failed, it would be difficult to assassinate Yang Wudi next time.

Anyway, with the strength of the two of them, if they wanted to leave, ordinary people really couldn't stop them.

"Damn it! Fifth Soul Skill!" Ghost showed his cards, no longer pretending, and directly used his soul skill. The black soul ring suddenly flickered.

"Ghost Shadow Earthly Hand!"

In an instant, a shadow appeared under Ghost's feet, and countless black hands rushed out from the shadow, sweeping towards the floor.

In the end, all the landmines in the corridor exploded, and the entire top floor collapsed openly, crashing downwards.

Yang Wudi was also awakened by the explosion. He picked up the Soul Breaking Spear and rushed out, his face changing drastically after seeing Ghost's spirit.

"Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, it's actually you?"

In addition to surprise, a hint of anger also appeared in his eyes. He had been targeted by the Spirit Hall all these years, so of course he recognized Ghost's spirit.

"Yang Wudi, today is your death!"
