Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

"What realm is this?"

"ah?"

After listening to Xu Yue's question, Gui Sha was stunned for a moment, but just as he hesitated, the big hand on his neck tightened again, and the feeling of depression and tingling came at the same time, as if his neck would be squeezed in the next second. Into a ball of mud.

"Xuan...wu...guo...xijun, Xing...yangcheng."

It wasn't until he struggled to tell the answer Xu Yue wanted that Gui Sha, whose face was covered in bruises, felt the tight iron band around his throat loosen slightly, and a series of dry coughs came out of his mouth.

"Cough, cough..."

When oxygen rushed into his shriveled lungs, his tense hands dropped weakly, leaving traces of blood on his silver arms.

"I won't ask the same question a second time."

"Why did you kill this family?"

Xu Yue's question rang out again, and Gui Sha experienced what the devil whispered for the first time, and this time he did not dare to hesitate at all.

"Assassin's reward order, I came here after receiving the assassin's reward order. Someone paid for the lives of the Xu family."

"Just you?"

"Yes, I am the only one at the moment, but after my mission fails, more assassins will come here."

"Where is the mission release point of the Assassin Organization?"

"No. 7 Hidden Street, Assassin's Tavern."

"What are the requirements to become an assassin?"

"Just go to the tavern to register, there are no conditions required."

…………

Ten minutes later, during the questions and answers between the two parties, Xu Yue quickly learned all the information he wanted from Gui Sha.

Under such a fast pace of questioning, Gui Sha didn't even have time to think, so he answered quickly almost by instinct.

If he hesitates or pauses for a moment, he will be faced with Xu Yue's quickly tightening palm. Under such circumstances, Xu Yue believes that the possibility of the assassin in his hand telling lies is extremely low.

"I answered honestly, spare your life, I can take you there...ahhh!!"

In the courtyard, before Gui Sha finished speaking, the golden-red flames rose up and completely engulfed him, and the screams continued to echo.

Within a few breaths, the human-shaped torch in Xu Yue's hand had disappeared, and silence returned to the courtyard.

After the golden-red pure Yang Yan burned away the ghost brake, instead of extinguishing it, it boiled even more, and its color also changed from golden-red to a coquettish purple.

With the combination of Burning Technique and talent, the Fire and Pure Yang Flame can transform into each other. In other words, as long as there are enough enemies, his flames will be nearly endless.

Of course, driving the flames also requires mana, but compared to generating flames, this amount is already very small.

Taking the large fire in front of him into his body, Xu Yue patted the remaining black ashes on his palms. Instead of showing disgust, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

"The strength is not strong, but the quality of the fire produced is good. Is it because of the internal strength of martial arts?"

"Xuanwu Country is such a good place."

In the previous world of Dragon Nest, most of the fire produced by those monsters was of average quality, and most of it was consumed in the battle with the Black Dragon.

This resulted in his low profit from the fire. He used up all the fire in the paradise and could only complete the upgrade and forging of Fang Tian's painted halberd.

But this world is different. There are two hundred assassins outside who are not too strong.

The food produced was quite good, and he was looking forward to what quality food the top 100, or even the seven shadow assassins, could produce.

"Good firewood..."

After murmuring something, the purple color in Xu Yue's eyes slowly faded away, and he glanced indifferently at the tragic scene of corpses all around him. He waved his right hand lightly, and golden-red flames spread out, turning everything around him into a sea of ​​fire. , corpses, vegetation, and buildings were swallowed up inch by inch by the boiling and raging flames.

Xu Yue stood in the center of the sea of ​​fire, watching with cold eyes as everything around him slowly turned into black ashes in the flames.

The Xuanwu Kingdom respects strength. Here, the assassin organization is even recognized by the court and can open a shop openly. Assassins no longer need to keep their identities secret. As long as you don't carry out large-scale massacres or blatant treason, no one will punish you.伱.

In this country where everyone practices martial arts, only strong strength is the only reliance.

Since the main mission is to become the strongest, he doesn't mind being a little more high-profile.

Under the cold moonlight, the raging flames continued for several minutes, and the golden fireworks soaring into the sky also attracted the attention of many powerful people in this small town.

Black shadows came from all directions and stood on the eaves, roofs, and walls near Xu Mansion. After revealing their figures, they were all figures dressed in famous costumes and carrying various weapons. They looked like ancient knights. .

On this continent, only the people of the Xuanwu Kingdom still live like the ancients. Even though other countries on the continent have developed developed networks and convenient technology, the Xuanwu Kingdom continues to maintain the ancient people. clothing, and exclude all modern electrical appliances from entering their country.

After arriving near the fire scene, none of these knights chose to put out the fire. Instead, they frowned and looked at the terrifying golden-red flames in front of them, and whispers came from time to time.

"Such a terrifying temperature, and this breath like the sun, what kind of flame is this?"

"Brother, aren't we going to put out the fire?"

"Look carefully, although the sea of ​​​​fire is fierce, it only burns inside the mansion and does not damage the surrounding walls. This is obviously driven by someone."

"Fire Flame Gate? Nine Sun Sect? No, those people can't control the flames of this intensity. Could it be that they are the superpowers of the Burning Man Kingdom?"

"I remember that the Xu Mansion was ordered to massacre yesterday. Who took over the task?"

"It seems to be Guisha. Although his strength is not weak, it is definitely not to this level."

………

Amidst the chatter of the onlookers, the sea of ​​​​fire in the mansion began to slowly become smaller. A series of clear footsteps came from the main entrance, and everyone turned their gazes.

I saw the closed door suddenly ignited with raging flames, but in just a few breaths, the generous vermilion door had been swallowed up by the flames. A tall figure wearing a wolf-hair cloak was lingering in the flames, coming from inside the door. Get out.

The Xu Mansion was born as a merchant. Although the family was prosperous, the location of the mansion was quite deserted because there were no famous martial arts masters in the mansion.

It is precisely because of its remote location that after the sea of ​​​​fire rose, it did not cause much turmoil except for attracting some strong men with fast feet.

After crossing the gate with only a broken threshold, Xu Yue appeared in front of a somewhat desolate street. He walked to the center of the street and stood still. He raised his head and glanced at the group of onlookers above, and said calmly:

"Does any of you know which direction Hidden Street is?"

Xu Yue's question spread, but no one among the spectators standing on the eaves and roofs took the lead in answering. The scene was deadlocked for a moment before a strong man with his arms folded asked Xu Yue.

"Go to Hidden Street, are you an assassin?"

"It will be soon."

After hearing Xu Yue's answer, the strong man's brows wrinkled visibly, and he continued to ask:

"Since it's not the case now, then why did you set fire to the entire Xu family?"

"Collect the body."

"Collect the corpse?"

The strong man repeated Xu Yue's answer, seeming to realize something. He looked beyond the wall and looked at the huge Xu Mansion, which was now only a piece of scorched earth.

"Oh, so Gui Sha has been killed by you?"

Just as the two were finishing their question and answer, a cold male voice came in, and Xu Yue looked along the source of the voice.

The speaker was dressed in blood-colored robes and stood on the eaves with his hands behind his back. He did not carry any weapons. When he saw Xu Yue looking over, his scarlet eyes were glowing with blood in the dark night, and he was staring at Xu Yue. Yue's actions.

"Kill, are you?"

Xu Yue replied with a cold expression.

"No. 84 on the assassin ranking list, blood evil."

"Oh, by the way, he is the senior brother of the ghost you just killed."

Xue Sha's tone was calm, but a faint bloody mist began to overflow from his body.

"call out!"

Several low whistles suddenly sounded on the quiet street, followed by the crisp sound of metal clanking, and several blood-colored thin needles fell on the stone bricks in front of Xu Yue.

After rolling twice, the fine needle melted into a pool of bloody solution, corroding a small pit on the stone brick.

Xu Yue put down his right hand, which had quietly turned into silver. It was this right hand that had just blocked the thin needle that was secretly attacking.

Glancing at the pits on the stone bricks in front of him that were glowing with smoke, he raised his head and looked up at the somewhat ugly-looking Xue Sha. His originally indifferent eyes became a little more interested.

"Compared to your junior brother, you are somewhat capable."

"Hmph, Vajra is indestructible. It's just a mainland product from Shi Geng Kingdom. Let me try your quality."
