Chapter 856 Success
Soon, this post attracted the attention of many people, after all, 10 billion is quite extravagant for some top assassins, superpower users, and martial artists.
In less than half an hour, several teams had accepted this mission. After all, 10 billion is no small sum, and it's worth the risk, especially since the target is only an SS-level superpower user. For many, the difficulty isn't too high; it's a lucrative opportunity.
After completing all this, Dan Dun leaned back in his chair, holding a cup of coffee, with a mysterious smile on his lips.
"Oh, I forgot one more thing."
Dan Dun edited the post again, "The target may appear in Phoenix City, Philadelphia, Jack City, or in the wilderness."
Phoenix City!
In a suite of a five-star hotel standing in a bustling city.
"We're going to hit it big this time, 10 billion! After this gig, I want to find some super-hot models for a good rest," a burly man said excitedly.
In the suite, besides him, there were three other people, two of whom had Asian faces, and one Western face.
"David, don't get too excited yet. Is an SS-level superpower user worth 10 billion?" the young man with a Western face sneered.
He was about six feet tall, with golden hair, blue eyes, a beautiful youth.
"Luke is right, this fish is too big and won't be easy to catch," an Asian-looking man said slowly. He was wearing samurai attire and had a katana at his waist.
"This deal isn't bad, but we need to plan it carefully. Didn't the employer say the target is likely to come to Phoenix City?" the only woman among them said. The woman appeared to be in her early thirties, enchantingly beautiful, dressed in a black lace long dress, as alluring as an enchantress reincarnated; every move and smile was captivating.
David, Luke, Beiyuan River, Yumiko, of whom David and Luke were Westerners, Beiyuan River, and Yumiko were Asians. They were members of a small mercenary squad, known in the international scene as the 'Scythe of Death', having assassinated many big shots and powerful figures.
Luke sat down and said, "The post claims the target is an SS-level superpower user, but the price is so high, our assassination target is likely an SSS-level superpower user."
"An SSS-level superpower user?" David opened his mouth wide, eyes bulging.
"It's not out of the question. If it is indeed an SSS-level superpower user, then the price is actually too low," Luke said disdainfully.
An SSS-level superpower user is a king among superpower users, and the cost of assassinating one is extremely high.
"Do we have to give up this mission?" Beiyuan River frowned.
"Yeah, haven't we assassinated SSS-level superpower users before?" David shouted.
"We have indeed assassinated SSS-level superpower users, but we also lost a member. Don't you remember?" Luke frowned.
The 'Scythe of Death' team originally consisted of five people. Three years ago, they sacrificed a member and the remaining four were seriously injured, almost unable to return, when they assassinated an SSS-level superpower user. Of course, the benefits they gained were considerable.
Yumiko laughed playfully, "The person posting this task can enter the Dark Web, indicating they are not stupid and wouldn't randomly quote prices. Otherwise, the Dark Web Alliance wouldn't let them off."
There are unspoken rules in the Dark Web, such as for assassination targets. If the poster intentionally understates the target's strength to save on rewards, they will be hunted by the Dark Web Alliance when found out.
"Hmm, I'm just suspicious. After all, things aren't confirmed yet. The other party might be an injured SSS-level superpower user, that's also possible," Luke raised his eyebrows and said.
David said, "So, should we take this mission or not?"
"Take it, but depend on luck. If that person appears in Phoenix City, we will carry out the assassination. If they don't show up, then we give up," Luke said directly.
"Alright. Let's hope they obediently come to Phoenix City to die," David licked his lips.
...
The morning glow dyed a cloud red.
On a wide road, a figure was flying by at an extremely fast speed and the shadow stopped.
"Phew, finally see the city."
Lin Mo took a deep breath. After a night's journey, while traveling, Lin Mo's strength had almost fully recovered.
"The effect of the Yang Wood Divine Skill is truly impressive."
Lin Mo thought to himself.
Since cultivating the Yang Wood Divine Skill, Lin Mo had never been seriously injured, so he hadn't really used it much, but this time he truly felt the benefits of the Yang Wood Divine Skill.
"Time to test my new achievements."
Lin Mo looked around. In areas like America, the population was sparse, and it was common not to see vehicles on the highways leading to the suburbs, especially in the early morning when the air carried a slight chill and there were almost no vehicles.
Lin Mo infused spiritual energy into the soles of his feet and then took a step.
After taking a step, an imprint-shaped pit appeared on the original ground, with spider-web-like cracks spreading around it.
At this time, Lin Mo turned into a shadow and was already fifty meters away.
"Hmm, that's not it," Lin Mo frowned.
Continue!
Lin Mo stepped again, trying to recall the image of understanding space laws in his Divine Sea, and then took a step. A mysterious pattern was formed at the soles of Lin Mo's feet, almost unnoticeable, but space ripples spread like waves.
But only a moment later, this mysterious imprint disappeared.
"Still missing something, where's that feeling?"
Lin Mo grinned, "Got it."
Thinking of this, Lin Mo stepped again, and spiritual energy on his foot faintly gave off a mysterious feeling. At the moment of taking the step, the surrounding air underwent an imperceptible vibration.
In an instant.
Lin Mo seemed to disappear from the original place.
The next moment, he was a hundred meters away.
Lin Mo turned back to look at the place where he was standing, and the asphalt road surface was not dented.
"Succeeded," Lin Mo was as happy as a child.
The first time, Lin Mo stepped was to channel spiritual energy onto the ground, using the power of the ground to sprint, reaching an extremely high-speed state and producing a series of afterimages.
But the last time, the spiritual energy gathered on the foot didn't act on the ground but rather directly on the space, stepping into a profound taste, so Lin Mo could teleport in effect, without leaving even an afterimage.
"Unfortunately, the distance is too short. If I try too far, I might be sucked into a space storm," Lin Mo muttered to himself.
Remembering how he was almost sucked into a space rift last time, Lin Mo felt a trace of fear.
"My current mastery of space law is too limited. I must continue to learn and perceive, striving to create my own magic," Lin Mo said, summoning the Xuanyuan Sword.
