X-Dragon Era
Chapter 478: Chapters 349-351: The Fiery Red Gourd_2
Following that, Yi Luo Xiang issued an order to the Dual Assassins, commanding them to immediately rush to Shoushan City and kill the leader of the Dragon Head Gang in the shortest time possible, all within a month. Beyond that month, the news of Wang Sheng and the others' deaths might spread, and once the other side becomes alert, things could become unpredictable.
While killing the leader of the Dragon Head Gang, they were also ordered to deliver a devastating blow to the other high-ranking members of the gang, sparing no one and aiming to completely crush its management without a single survivor!
For this mission, Yi Luo Xiang classified it as a promotion task. You see... whether it's the Five Rat Brothers or the Dual Assassins, they are currently only First Order gang members. Although Xin Yun temporarily promoted them to second-tier members for this operation, unlocking their Taiji Diagram to the second layer, it was only temporary. If they wanted to maintain that status, they would need to successfully complete this mission.
With the mission from Yi Luo Xiang set, Xin Yun simultaneously unlocked the Taiji Diagrams for both the Five Rat Brothers and the Dual Assassins. To support the mission, he even directly sent over two second-layer unlocked Chaos Bells. Under the protection of the Taiji Diagrams and the Chaos Bells, their safety was greatly ensured.
A second-layer unlocked Taiji Diagram now allows for physical traversal through space. Protected by the golden bridge, at the second level, the Taiji Diagram could instantly traverse 108,000 li. Although this distance is rather short for the vast Primordial World, thankfully, this spatial travel does not depend on human ability but rather the rules of the Taiji Diagram, which enables brief shuttles, with a million li just needing ten such travels to be reached.
As for the second-layer Chaos Bell, its new ability is reflection. When an enemy's attack hits the Chaos Bell, it transforms into a Mysterious Yellow sonic wave that counterattacks the enemy. The greater the force of the attack, the greater the strength of the reflection. To put it simply, it's akin to hitting one's own bell; the harder you strike it, the louder the sound and the more severe the reverberation.
Feeling the formidable powers of these two magical artifacts, the Five Rat Brothers were ecstatic. The new ability of the Taiji Diagram was incredibly strong, enabling them to escape safely from any situation, which was of the utmost importance to them.
As for the Chaos Bell, it also sent the Five Rat Brothers into a frenzy. The Chaos Bell combined offense and defense, being able to enlarge and smash when attacking, and turning into a Golden Bell Shield when defending. Now with the addition of reflection, they didn't need to lift a finger; when an enemy attacked, they would be subjected to a sonic wave of the same magnitude from the bell.
That was just how the Five Rat Brothers were; their head-on combat ability was always their weakness. But with this reflection effect, they didn't need to fight at all. Let the enemy attack them; as they did so, the Chaos Bell would automatically counter for them.
The Dual Assassins were also deliriously happy. The existence of the Taiji Diagram and the Chaos Bell opened up countless possibilities for their strategies, especially the Taiji Diagram, which greatly facilitated their assassinations and retreats.
Of course, what thrilled the Dual Assassins the most were the upgraded to second-layer Executing Immortal Sword and Sword of Slaughter Immortal. After using them for so long, the two had each claimed one of the swords for themselves. As for the Sword of Trap Immortal and the Sword of Executing Immortal, they were not suitable for them. Although the swords were incredibly sharp, they didn't fit their style.
First, the features didn't match their own characteristics. Second... there is a limit to human energy. It's hard enough for one to wield one weapon well; to handle four would be an impossible task.
Therefore, one of the Dual Assassins chose the Executing Immortal Sword, and the other chose the Sword of Slaughter Immortal. One used for slashing, the other for stabbing, both with incredibly fast speeds, irreplaceable for assassinations!
After being unlocked to the second layer, the Executing Immortal Sword gained the ability of Sword Qi cutting. With one swing, it could emit a golden sword light that could fly a kilometer, as sharp as the sword itself, capable of cutting through almost anything.
After being unlocked to the second layer, the Sword of Slaughter Immortal gained the ability of sword brilliance. With one stab, a spiraling drill edge burst forth with a whoosh, overwhelming and powerful. Even steel plates could be easily pierced; naturally, flesh and blood would be no match.
Having experienced the awe-inspiring powers of the second-layer artifacts, neither the Five Rat Brothers nor the Dual Assassins were willing to return to using their first-layer equipment. Upon receiving their orders, they activated their Taiji Diagrams and headed at top speed toward Shoushan City.
Leaving aside the movements of the Five Rat Brothers and the Dual Assassins, Yi Luo Xiang had everything arranged. She furrowed her brows and turned to Xin Yun, saying, "This arrangement is almost flawless. However... as a gang, we must have a powerful figure stationed there. Firstly, to oversee operations, and secondly... to provide a strong deterrent force. Should a master attempt to cause trouble within the city, they must step forward and kill them immediately. This is essential. But now... we obviously don't have such a master!"
"A master!" When he heard Yi Luo Xiang's words, Xin Yun frowned. That's right... now that they've taken over Shoushan City, they do need to send someone to supervise and deter others. But the problem is, currently within the Axe Gang, there really isn't such a master.
To be called a master, one must reach the Amethyst Order. That's a necessity. Otherwise, no matter how powerful one's skills and combat techniques are, it's all in vain. Without a strong foundation of power, even the most advanced techniques are useless.
