Chapter 239

~4 min read 693 words

And as the captain of the Wolf Fang squad,

even after Eva's death,

Ling Feng still cautiously approached to check the corpse,

to ensure that an assassin of this caliber wouldn't be faking death.

After all, Eva's sudden assassination attempt had left a deeply profound impression on him just now.

Even with the corpse lying right before his eyes,

he still had the illusion that the opponent might jump up at any moment to launch another attack.

Only after confirming that the corpse's heartbeat had long ceased,

did Ling Feng slowly stand up,

and meaninglessly repeat a sentence,

"Confirmed dead."

When that suddenly appearing grenade exploded just now,

everyone was busy dodging the shrapnel,

so,

Ling Feng failed to see in those few short seconds

exactly how Lu Shu had pinned down and killed this assassin.

Up until now,

one assassin ranked 10th on the Dark Web, and one ranked 6th.

Both assassins had been left behind in the mountains and forests of the Golden Triangle.

Thinking of this,

Ling Feng suddenly raised his head,

looking at Lu Shu with a somewhat dreamlike expression.

"So that means..."

"You are now ranked 6th on the Dark Web rankings???"

An assassin in a lower position,

after killing an assassin in a higher position,

will automatically take over the higher-ranked assassin's original ranking.

For example,

an assassin ranked 100th,

if he kills the assassin ranked 1st.

Then his ranking will instantly change from 100 to 1st.

Of course,

such a thing is basically impossible.

Global assassins who make it onto the Dark Web rankings,

each possesses terrifying killing power.

Let alone leaping from 100 straight to 1st,

even moving up a few spots in the rankings

often involves extremely bloody battles.

Let alone assassins within the top 10.

Now that Lu Shu has taken down Eva, ranked 6th,

then Lu Shu's ranking on the Dark Web assassin list will become 6th.

And Ling Feng is very certain,

this should not yet be Lu Shu's limit!

Because whether it was the previous battle,

or the previous assassination attempts,

Lu Shu always gave him the feeling that he had already seen through all of the opponent's attacks.

Lu Shu seemed to be simply waiting for the opponent to launch an attack,

and then seize the opportunity to casually counter-kill.

That simple.

Then.

This guy standing before him,

just how terrifying is his true strength?

Ling Feng looked at Lu Shu's back,

and a vague sense of fear actually rose in his heart.

As a warrior,

he was not afraid of battle.

But... he was afraid of dying silently and without a trace.

With his back to everyone's gaze,

Lu Shu was slowly taking deep breaths,

constantly adjusting his heartbeat and body.

Zhang Zhe's earlier intuition had actually been correct.

In that final moment of the kill,

Lu Shu's state had indeed changed.

His bodily functions had fully entered a pure killing mode.

In this state,

his body would become extremely cold,

and his heartbeat would drop to a dangerous frequency.

Following that,

came a cold emotion of indifference toward everything.

This emotion would make him kill without a shred of feeling.

If a hundred people stood before him,

he would feel not a single ripple in his heart after striking.

Moreover,

this was not forcibly suppressing those ripples,

but rather an innate indifference generated by his body.

This was the state most suited for an assassin!

After breathing slowly a few times,

Lu Shu finally withdrew from this state.

Though the expression on his face remained calm,

it had lost that trace of coldness.

He glanced at the distant forest under the night sky,

where human voices could still be faintly heard.

It was Delong and those drug dealers still fleeing in a frenzy.

After thinking for a moment,

Lu Shu did not immediately set off in pursuit.

Instead, he walked over to a pile of supplies nearby and rummaged through it,

finally finding what he wanted.

Ling Feng, Zhang Zhe, and the others had been watching Lu Shu stand there motionless, wondering what he was doing.

Then, unexpectedly, they saw Lu Shu walking out carrying a bucket.
