Hitman with a Badass System-Chapter 31: Killing Orion

"Hey who's the other 1? You better run and hide little lamb"

A youngster jumped up onto the first fighting stage and called out his opponent arrogantly. He wore the uniform of the MorningStar and his face was filled with arrogance, but the next second, when he saw who his opponent was, the arrogance disappeared from his face, as he swallowed a mouth full of saliva. He felt like he was going to faint on the spot because the one who just landed in front of him was none other than Victoria Parker from the Golden Valley.

"I surrender!"

He didn't take much time as he immediately said these words and jumped down from the fighting stage. The speed was even greater than the speed of him jumping up to the stage. Although he seemed arrogant, he knew his limits. Fighting head to head with a powerful prodigy like Vitoria Parker, was no different than committing suicide.

On another side, the same happened when Evan Clarke appeared. His opponent also didn't dare to fight with him, so he did the logical thing, surrender.

The crowd felt disappointed not seeing Victoria and Evan in action. But their disappointment quickly vanished when they laid their eyes on the sixth stage where Ghost and the red hired youth were facing each other.

"To be honest, you surprised me by reaching the 100th step, but unfortunately you're going to die today"

This youngster looked extremely arrogant and when Micheal took a closer look at his robe, he noticed a star embroidered on his chest, the symbol of MorningStar. His red hair fluttered in the wind as he radiated a powerful Body refining stage Level 4 cultivation level.

"Brother Orion, please don't! We saw him massacre the entire blood and bone sect and burn their disciples alive!"

Not far from the fighting stage, someone shouted out loud, and when Micheal looked in the direction of the voice to see the group of Morning Stars he had met earlier.

"No one takes what's mine, now I will make an example out of him to let the world know what would happen if they take what's belongs to me, Orion Kesher "

"Human, he must be the person left the mark on the quest we took"

Hearing this, Micheal slightly shook his head and started to laugh which made the crowd wonder why he was laughing. Orion felt offended and frowned looking at him laughing.

"Why are you laughing?!"

"You really looking to fight me because I took a quest from the guild, are you dumb or something? Listen to your classmates and surrender, I'll let you live"

His laugh stopped and now he looked at him coldly while releasing a slight killing intent around him.

"Brother Ghost is scary!"

One of the female disciples of the Sunrise sect became afraid of him looking at his cold face.

Micheal didn't hold back, therefore many people in the square heard him loud and clear. The other stages quickly lost their views and everyone turned their gaze towards stage six.

"Do you believe he could have killed them without using any dirty tricks? You believe whatever you want and stand aside, I got this"

With a wave of his hand, Orion stopped Klara's group from saying anything.

Even the four geniuses on the top turned to look at stage six to see what the famous Ghost could really do.

"That good for nothing Ralphy couldn't even kill a weakling like him, humph, he was nothing but a disgrace to call himself a sect master"

He snorted.

"Senior Orion kill him!"

"That's right, tear him into pieces!"

Some of the fans of Celina and Alex started to shout loudly and fanned Orion's arrogance. They didn't believe that a Body refining stage level 5 cultivator like Orion can't kill the one who is only at level 1.

Klara felt uneasy in her mind because she had already witnessed his terrifying power before.

"DIE!"

In front of Micheal, Orion shouted as loudly as he could. Orion dashed at him with a silver sword in his hand while magical symbols appeared around the sword to enhance its power.

Swooosh!

"Kill this f**ker human!"

Yet before Orion could come closer, the crowd saw Ghost's body turn into a

bolt of lightning and disappear from Orion's view. But in a flash, he appeared behind Orion, and from his fingertip, a blue lightning bolt shot through Orion's forehead.

Splash!

[Ding! Congrats to the host for killing a Body refining stage, level 5 cultivator. The reward is 4000 experience points as well as 200 Badass points]

The next moment, Orion dropped on the ground with a hole right between his eyes. The youngster who acted so high and might a moment ago did not have a chance to scream and lying on the ground dead. A puff of smoke was coming out of Orion's wound and his eyes were still wide open, as a terrified expression could be seen on his face.

This scene terrified everyone and sent a cold chill through their spine. Killings like this on heaven's gate competition was a usual thing and the crowd didn't fear the blood and deaths. However, what terrified them was how the Ghost killed Orion. He was quick as lightning and Oriond didn't even get the chance to raise his sword at him or defend himself.

"Dumb f**ker"

Gaya sighed and cursed looking at his dead body. The loud shout was the only thing he did on the fighting stage.

Orion didn't even have a chance at attacking, he didn't even have the time to show his combat skill and combat weapon. The loud shout was his only performance on the fighting stage.

Micheal's face showed an expression of indifference and he didn't even take a look at the dead body lying on the ground. Neglecting the thousands of shocked eyes on him, he jumped down from the fighting stage. He made living by assassinating people and killing Orion didn't feel any different.

Micheal even gave him the chance to surrender and his classmates told him not to fight, but he ignored all of them because of his arrogance and paid the price with his life.

"Holy shit! What just happened?! How could he be so fast?!"

" This is too shocking, just how powerful is the Ghost, he killed someone who was four levels higher than him!"

"He killed him like swatting a bug"

"That Orion kid should have surrendered"

"Did you guys see that?! The Ghost didn't even blink his eyes when he killed, he's actually looking down on the Morningstar Sect! Just with his attitude and courage alone, he has my respect!"

Everybody was still shocked, and the square was once again in uproar. Only Klara and her group knew the outcome a hundred percent sure. The fear and respect towards the Ghost had once again risen everyone's hearts.

"Thank god that bullying son of a bitch is dead"

"Yeah I too secretly wanted him to die"

"Damn it! He killed one of us!"

Some of them from the MorningStar looked relieved while some of them looked pissed off. But many of them were looking at Evan Clarke, their ultimate hope and the trump card in their sleeve.

"I want him to be matched with Evan! I bet Evan will beat him in combat"

"That's for sure! Withstanding pressure and fighting head to head is entirely two different things"

Evan Clarke was the representative of the MorningStar sect in this competition and his abilities were extraordinary, unlike Orion.

After a few minutes, the first round came to an end. 12 participants had been eliminated, and the remaining 12 would continue fighting.

Just like before, they would draw plates and fight the ones who picked the same number as them.

Again Victoria Parker and Evan Clarke were having a field day as their opponents surrendered the moment they saw them. On the other hand, Hannah Berry and Nyla Reid from the SilverMoon fought with the disciples of Golden Valley and killed them by beheading them without a second thought.

This time, When Micheal came to his fighting stage, he saw a level 4 Body refining stage youth standing before him. But the moment he saw him, he took a few steps back and threw his sword on the ground.

"I surrender"

After he said that, he turned around and jumped off the fighting stage. He just witnessed Orion who was a level higher than him getting killed in a second, so the youth didn't dare to fight the Ghost. Looking at him retreating, he didn't make fun of him or do anything but jumped off the stage.

After the second round, there were only 6 people left. Evan Clarke from the MorningStar, Victoria Parker, and another girl from the Golden Valley, Hannah Berry, and Nyla Reid from the SilverMoon and the Ghost from Sunrise Sect.

The crowd felt goosebumps looking at the six of them because no matter how they paired with, it would be a battle worth watching.

"Let the fighting continue."

Celina said in a strict manner as she waved her hand and threw out another six plates again. This time, Micheal's opponent was none other than Nyla Reid from the SilverMoon, a prodigy.

Unlike before, the three fights didn't happen simultaneously. And surprisingly, Victoria Parker and the girl from her sect chose the same number which resulted in the girl surrendering to Victoria. The crowd was disappointed but it was not something they weren't expecting either. But they didn't expect Hannah Berry to surrender to Evan Clarke which was a huge bummer to the crowd as they started to boo at Hannah Berry.
