Chapter 23

When Emerson left, it was already night time. When he arrived at his destination, the auction ended, and most of the people had already left.

“I’m sorry, sir. Our auction has already ended.”

A servant stopped him.

When Emerson heard this, he something into the servant’s arms.

The servant was stunned for a moment as he took a glance at it.

“So you are a customer who has consigned the item. Are you here to get the money? Please wait a moment, I’ll go check it out. Do you want to wait inside?” He said respectfully.

Emerson slowly shook his head and did not say anything. Suddenly, he turned his head.

Just now, there seemed to be someone staring at him with ill intentions.

In reality, there was nothing there. It was just a small wall.

However, Emerson trusted his intuition as he sensed danger.

If he did not pay attention to his surroundings, he might have died at the hands of some mutated creature when he was in the dark forest.

The servant felt Emerson was a little strange, but he did not meddle in other people’s business. He returned to the auction house to get Emerson’s money.

Not long after, the servant walked out with a crystal card.

“Sir, the selling price of the tier 8 Red-scaled Fire Python soul pill that you consigned is 45,000 gold coins. After deducting 5% of the transaction tax, the crystal card has a total of 42,750 gold coins.”

“Okay.”

Emerson Cole withdrew his gaze, kept the crystal card in his pocket, and turned around to leave.

As he passed by the place that he was looking at, he found on the ground. With a thought, he used his ability and disappeared on the spot.

“Hmm? Where is he?”

“Why did he suddenly disappear? Did I see a ghost?”

“F*ck, did he know that we’re here?”

“How is that possible? Fourth Brother clearly used a camouflage skill on us.”

“Fourth Brother, is there something wrong with your skill?”

“No way. I can’t see you even when I’m so close.”

“Then what happened?”

“I don’t know… didn’t we do this before? We didn’t get discovered last time.”

A deliberately low voice came from the dark. It was very subtle. In the noisy Iron City, if they did not listen closely, they would not have noticed it.

“Boss, are we still doing it?”

“Third Brother, did you get that tracking powder on him?”

“Boss, I did, but…”

“But what?”

“The tracking device shows that he’s right behind us.”

“What!”

Then, the few of them turned around.

From the eyes of outsiders, the patterns on the wall were strangely distorted, as if someone else had messed up the wall.

However, they saw something weirder.

They saw a person who was completely wrapped in a black robe and was exuding an extremely terrifying aura.

The instant the man’s gaze landed on them, it was as if they were being targeted by an assassin.

The Boss’s pupils immediately constricted.

The man in black was an expert!

They had encountered a highly skilled warrior.

In the next moment, a flash of fire appeared in their eyes.

Before the 4 of them could react, they were engulfed by the raging flames.

“Ah!!!”

They cried miserably, but soon, 2 of them broke free and rushed toward Emerson with soul weapons in their hands.

Emerson withdrew the flames. With a thought, he summoned his shield to block their attacks. Then, he used his long knife and thrusted at them.

However, his target was the 2 people leaning against the wall who were still trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

“Be careful!” The Boss’ voice blurted out.

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

A cold light flashed past. Both of them could not react. They were still trying to extinguish the flames with their hands. In the next second, their heads were chopped off by Emerson.

Blood splatted in all directions as it sprayed onto the bodies of the other 2 people.

“Third Brother! Fourth Brother!”

The boss shouted in grief. He had never expected that the black-robed man would be so ruthless. He was really trying to kill them.

Furthermore, while his movements were exceptionally fast, his strength was also ridiculously strong.

How was this possible?

Third Brother was a genetic warrior with a tier 8 physique. He was also wearing soul armor. The boss might not be able to easily cause a wound on his Third Brother’s body.

However, his Third Brother was killed instantly by the black-robed man?

Moreover, genetic warriors should have 1 advantage only, right?

When 1 type of ability was powerful, the other 2 would become weaker.

As for the elemental genetic warriors, they were like the mages. Their physical attributes were extremely poor, but their spiritual and elemental energy were exceptionally strong.

However, the black-robed man had strong elemental energy, and he also had an extremely powerful physical attributes?

The Boss’s heart was filled with shock. He felt that his strength was nothing in front of the black-robed man.

“You… who exactly are you?” He was a little terrified. The death of 2 of his brothers had given him a great shock.

However, the black-robed man did not pay attention to him. Instead, he swung his long knife at the other person.

Clang!

The sound of weapons clashing could be heard. However, the Boss knew that his last brother would not be able to survive.

That was the sound of a soul weapon shattering.

The black-robed man shattered a tier 8 long blade with his tier 9 long knife.

That could only be achieved if someone had enormous strength.

As a newly promoted tier 7 strength-type genetic warrior, the Boss knew that he was unable to achieve this.

This also meant that the black-robed man’s strength was far stronger than his. Moreover, in other aspects, his genetic attributes were also far stronger than his.

That made him think of a person.

Emerson Cole!

He was the second all-rounded genetic warrior since the establishment of the Indigo Empire.

He was the strongest man among tier 8 genetic warriors with 3 highest scores on the Limit Board.

Initially, the Boss did not fancy Emerson. However, he did not expect to bump into Emerson when he was trying to rob someone.

Only when he truly faced Emerson did he realize how terrifying he was.

The shock in the Boss’ heart turned into fear in a short period of time. He could no longer face Emerson as he turned around to run.

Unfortunately, Emerson would never left anyone alive.

Emerson used his spatial ability to instantly catch up to the Boss. With 1 slash, Emerson shattered his armor, and with another slash, he pierced through the Boss’ heart, as if he was killing a chicken.

Those who heard the cries from afar were all stunned by the scene.

They had witnessed the entire process of the black-robed man killing people.

Through the technique, some of these people recognized that the black-robed man was Emerson. They could easily guess it correctly.

Emerson was very skillful. He took out all of them with just 4 slashes.

They were impressed by Emerson once again. Some of those who were eager to challenge Emerson did not dare to challenge him anymore.

Who would dare to provoke a Emerson?

Unfortunately, Emerson, the Killing Machine, was also going to be unlucky in the near future.
