Why let the pawns die when the opponent can be defeated without damage?
Speaking, Qin Han Chu strode towards his opponent.
Bang, bang…
Qin Han Chu was like a wolf in a flock of sheep, felling an enemy with every strike.
These seventh-grade martial artists were like kindergarten children before him.
The grim man's eyes widened in shock.
He hadn't expected Qin Han Chu to be so powerful.
To protect his men, the grim man immediately charged into the fray, ambushing Qin Han Chu from behind.
With his peak eighth-grade strength, Zhong Wu Yi was instantly killed by Qin Han Chu.
How could the grim man, with his mid-eighth-grade strength, harm Qin Han Chu?
Qin Han Chu suddenly turned and casually knocked away the grim man's dagger.
This scene made the grim man's eyes bulge.
His dagger was incredibly sharp and incredibly fast!
Yet, Qin Han Chu had deflected it with his bare palm?
Even though Qin Han Chu had struck the side of the dagger, it was terrifying to achieve such a feat in combat.
The grim man's heart pounded; he knew he had encountered a true powerhouse.
He wanted to escape, but Qin Han Chu wouldn't give him the chance.
Bang!
Qin Han Chu's fist slammed into the grim man's chest.
The grim man's chest caved in.
As he fell, the grim man spat out a mouthful of blood and fell silent.
The remaining assassins were frozen in fear.
Their mid-eighth-grade leader was dead just like that?
"Run!"
The surviving assassins dared not attack Qin Han Chu any further. They all scrambled towards the windows.
Qin Han Chu casually grabbed a handful of scattered welding rods and hurled them like throwing knives.
Before the assassins could reach the windows, they were impaled through the heart by the welding rods.
"Ninth grade!"
Chen Fei Yu, who had already been rescued, watched Qin Han Chu effortlessly kill the grim man, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He, who had reached mid-eighth grade at the age of thirty, thought himself a martial arts prodigy.
He never imagined there was a monster like Qin Han Chu.
At just over twenty years old, he had reached ninth grade!
"You... you dare oppose our Dark Star!"
"You're dead!"
On the ground, a seventh-grade assassin, severely injured by Qin Han Chu, roared in anger.
Qin Han Chu drew a welding rod and flicked it casually.
Silence ensued!
…
The next morning, Qin Han Chu and Jin Hailu arrived at the Jinshi Group's hospital.
Chen Fei Yu and his girlfriend were recuperating there.
Before even entering the ward, Qin Han Chu and Jin Hailu heard the young couple arguing.
"What are you arguing about?" Jin Hailu asked sternly as she entered the ward.
Seeing Qin Han Chu and Jin Hailu, Chen Fei Yu lowered his head and fell silent.
Liu Simeng, tears streaming down her face, said to Jin Hailu, "President Jin, Fei Yu wants to break up with me."
"Why?" Jin Hailu was bewildered.
Weren't their feelings for each other strong?
Besides, if anyone were to suggest a breakup, it should have been Liu Simeng.
After all, the events of last night had terrified her.
"Why else? He's afraid of implicating her," Qin Han Chu said.
"Dark Star won't let me go. If we don't break up, what happened last night will happen again," Chen Fei Yu said.
"Dark Star headquarters must know about her existence."
"So even if we break up, Dark Star won't let her go."
After returning last night, Qin Han Chu had already investigated Dark Star.
It was an overseas underground organization, primarily engaged in assassination and intelligence.
Its strength was considerable, capable of accepting assassination missions even for ninth-grade martial artists.
Chen Fei Yu fell silent, knowing Qin Han Chu was speaking the truth.
"You heard him? I'm already on the ship, so I can't get off," Liu Simeng retorted.
"Alright, we'll leave Island City later." After saying this, Chen Fei Yu turned to Jin Hailu and said, "President Jin, I can only repay your kindness in my next life. If we stay in Island City, we'll only bring you trouble."
"They found you once, they can find you again," Jin Hailu said.
"There's no other way," Chen Fei Yu said with difficulty.
Qin Han Chu smiled. "There is a way."
"What way?" Chen Fei Yu asked excitedly.
"We'll destroy Dark Star," Qin Han Chu said calmly.
Chen Fei Yu stared at Qin Han Chu in shock!
Was that considered a solution?
How powerful was Dark Star? Was it something that could be destroyed just by saying it?
Chen Fei Yu quickly said, "Mr. Qin, Dark Star is not a small force, it..."
"I'm well aware of Dark Star's details. If I dare to say this, I naturally have a way to destroy them."
"The question is, do you dare to do it!"
Before Chen Fei Yu could finish, Qin Han Chu interrupted him.
Seeing Qin Han Chu's confidence, Chen Fei Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, what do you want me to do?"
"Miss Liu, my people will escort you out of Island City to a safe place later," Qin Han Chu said to Liu Simeng.
Liu Simeng knew she would be a burden if she stayed, so she nodded in agreement.
Chen Fei Yu felt immense gratitude for Qin Han Chu's arrangements.
As long as Liu Simeng was safe, he could even fight Dark Star with his life.
"What do I need to do?" Chen Fei Yu asked.
"Just follow my instructions."
Qin Han Chu had everything under control; if Dark Star dared to come, they would meet their doom.
"You saved my life. I'll do whatever you ask," Chen Fei Yu said firmly.
"After we deal with Dark Star, you'll be the leader of the Jinshi Guards. Any problem with that?"
Jin Hailu was Qin Han Chu's "fiancée," so he naturally wanted to help her.
…
A certain primeval jungle overseas.
The Dark Star branch base was hidden within.
In a village in the jungle, a scar-faced man entered the branch leader's room.
In the room, a beautiful woman was tied to a wooden pillar.
She was crouched in a corner like a dog.
"Leader, something's happened," the scar-faced man said to the middle-aged man seated on the chair, glancing at the woman in the corner.
"What is it?" the branch leader asked, putting down his documents.
"Everyone sent to deal with Shadow Kill has been killed," the scar-faced man said solemnly.
What?
The branch leader shot up from his seat, roaring, "What happened? Didn't we capture Shadow Kill? How could they be dead?"
"Someone rescued him."
"Who rescued him?" the branch leader was furious. Those were more than a dozen elite subordinates, and they were all gone.
"We haven't found out yet."
"Find out! The branch leader roared. "Not only must we eliminate Shadow Kill, but we must also find and eliminate the person who helped him."
"I'll go myself!" the scar-faced man said, his killing intent evident.
"Yes, take a few elites with you."
"Remember, don't attract the attention of the Sharp Sword Division."
The branch leader nodded in agreement and then reminded him sternly.
The Sharp Sword Division, like the Hanging Sword Division, was a special agency.
The Hanging Sword Division's responsibility was to suppress martial artists within the country, while the Sharp Sword Division was responsible for deterring martial artists outside the country.
These overseas underground forces were the primary targets of the Sharp Sword Division's crackdown.
