System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests
Chapter 257 - 160: Unnamed on the List!
[Triggering Commission: Unknown on the List! (Exterminate all guests from the Evil Extermination List!)]
[Do you wish to accept!?]
Dawn was breaking, and Chu Qing had just returned to his room, intending to meditate for a while. Suddenly, the prompt appeared.
Chu Qing was startled, wondering why a commission was suddenly triggered?
Upon closer inspection, he found out that the previous commission full of ’???’ was gone.
"Has the condition been fulfilled?"
Chu Qing hypothesized that his system, with insufficient computational power, couldn’t deduce who was coming to assassinate Liu Yu this time.
So, although the condition to trigger the commission was met at the time,
it couldn’t provide a ’title’, resulting in question marks.
But now... the system either made a calculation or received some intelligence.
Thus, it provided specific commission information?
"It really is a knockoff system...
"I wonder, what’s the trick with this ’Unknown on the List’?"
Chu Qing accepted the commission.
[Commission: Unknown on the List! (Exterminate all guests from the Evil Extermination List!)]
[Current Stage: One.]
[Current Progress: Zero.]
[Task Reward: Choose one from the selectable Martial Arts Treasure Chest.]
[Stage Reward: One random Clue Treasure Chest.]
[Full Stage Reward: One selectable Martial Arts Classified Treasure Chest.]
[Currently Selectable Treasure Chest: None.]
"Gasp! This is indeed a showy move!"
Chu Qing drew a sharp breath; this was probably the most complex commission he had ever triggered:
"Judging by this setup, it’s a chain of tasks, huh!
"The seventy-two assassins on the Evil Extermination List must be the complete set of the ’Unknown on the List’ tasks...
"With stage rewards, you can get Clue Treasure Chests, open the second stage task... If completed, you can get a selectable Martial Arts Classified Treasure Chest?
"Meaning I can choose for myself? This... sounds interesting."
He scrutinized the commission several times, suddenly feeling a bit of anticipation...
However, exterminating the entire Seventy-two Evil Extermination List won’t be easy.
But between Chu Qing and the Mirror of Sin, it was always a life-and-death situation.
Taking out these bastards on the side, why not?
"But what about Hua Beauty on the other side?"
Chu Qing suddenly thought of Ling Fei, who was inseparable from Cao Qiupu, pondering whether or not to discreetly get rid of her.
After considering for a moment, Chu Qing thought this matter could be considered later.
After all, completing this task wasn’t a one-time thing; who knows what changes might occur afterward.
Considering Hua Beauty’s matter now was a bit premature.
Thinking of this, he temporarily set aside the thought, came to the bed, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes.
The next morning, after breakfast, Liu Yu had no plans to go out, so Chu Qing returned to his room to meditate.
It wasn’t until the sun was high that, without having eaten, Liu Yu came over first.
"Why did you come personally?"
Chu Qing stepped aside to open the door, but Liu Yu didn’t come in; his voice was low:
"The people from the four gangs that Brother Han mentioned have arrived...
"They seemed to have consolidated the bandits from Lianshan Seven Strongholds who were scattered yesterday, adding their own men, and gathered two or three thousand people. They are now outside the city, cursing and demanding battle."
"They came quite quickly."
Chu Qing nodded:
"Let’s go."
He called upon Gentle, followed Liu Yu to gather their people.
Among them was not only the flying feather Jiang Chunhua but also a few skilled Jianghu people recruited by Liu Yu.
Chu Qing glanced at these people: one was an old man who liked to smoke a pipe, another was a sickly-looking woman in black, and there was a monk holding a familiar copper stick.
As for Jiang Chunhua, she was also a woman, about forty years old. Though well-maintained, plus possessing Inner Power, her appearance didn’t look particularly aged.
But her eye corners still bore deep traces, her eyes weathered by many hardships.
Seeing Liu Yu, she clasped her hands:
"How do we kill them?"
"Kill them as you see fit!"
Jiang Chunhua’s question and Liu Yu’s answer were both straightforward.
The three people recruited by Liu Yu then cast their eyes subtly toward Chu Qing.
All three had heard that Liu Yu had recruited two more experts, whom he valued highly.
In a sense, they were peers and couldn’t help but size up the two, wanting to know what made these two different, allowing Liu Yu to trust them so?
The manpower was assembled, and the disciples of Iron Blood Hall had already been arranged elsewhere.
This group of a few people headed toward the city walls of Dingxing City.
The news of Jianghu people coming to attack Dingxing City had spread in the city.
The citizens were advised by the disciples of Iron Blood Hall to stay home; now the streets were deserted, with only chaos on the ground.
This group stepped onto the long street but almost immediately stopped.
"Careful!"
Jiang Chunhua gave a warning.
The rest also sensed it... A silent killing intent, cold and stern, grasped their hearts!
Light footsteps echoed at this moment.
Everyone looked up to see a swordsman just stopping. He was solitary in temperament, dressed in white, wearing a mask with a face painting.
Though the sword was at his side, his killing intent covered the entire street.
"Who dares to block our path!?"
Jiang Chunhua frowned, displeased.
The swordsman gently clasped his hands:
"Greetings to all from Iron Blood Hall.
"My purpose here has two parts: one is for Liu Yu, the second..."
"And what about the second?"
Jiang Chunhua followed up.
"It is better that you do not know."
The swordsman said coolly:
