"Poseidon" surrendered.
In the arena, countless assassins were instantly awash with amazement.
To force "Poseidon" to surrender within just a few moves, the president of the "Six Disasters Canglong" guild, "Unparalleled," was indeed a super first-line assassin comparable to "San Liu" and "Nameless"!
Even "Zeus" intervening might not be able to suppress the opponent.
Everyone watched "Poseidon" descend from the platform, dispirited, their minds reeling.
Originally, they thought the "Six Disasters Canglong" guild that Mu Jinyu and the others founded aiming for first place was a joke, but to their surprise, they were actually witnessing history.
Witnessing the meteoric rise of an assassins guild from nothing to the world's number one ranking.
After "Poseidon" stepped down, he came before "Zeus," bowed his head, and said, "I'm sorry, president, I was incapable..."
"Zeus" patted his shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay, you're still alive, that's good."
Indeed, still being alive was considered very fortunate.
The assassins who participated in the slaughter feast usually ended up either dead or crippled after stepping on the competition platform, spelling the end of their careers as assassins.
From the engagements of the "Desolation" and "Xiao" guilds, one could tell how brutal the fate of the combatants on the platform was.
Yet "Athena" and "Poseidon" managed to survive encounters with "Unparalleled," which was really a stroke of luck.
"Zeus" also had a vague idea of Mu Jinyu's thoughts.
The reason why he hadn't decimated their "Twilight of the Gods" assassins like he had with those from "Desolation" and "Xiao" was probably because Mu Jinyu was truly preparing to absorb them, planning to fully assimilate the core strength of the "Twilight of the Gods," enabling his "Six Disasters Canglong" guild to truly become the world's number one assassins guild.
Otherwise, if he killed "Athena," "Poseidon," and himself, even if he absorbed "Desolation," "Xiao," and "Twilight of the Gods," the remaining remnants would probably still be insufficient to make the "Six Disasters Canglong" the top guild.
Thinking thus, "Zeus" felt his resolve for a last-ditch battle dissipating somewhat, and the pressure didn't seem so heavy anymore.
Thereafter, "Zeus" slowly walked onto the competition platform under the worried gazes of the "Twilight of the Gods" members.
The vice president watched them, finding the scene quite interesting.
The outcome of the forthcoming battle would more or less declare which guild would become the best of the age.
"Let's begin, then."
The vice president didn't bother with any superfluous talk and declared the start of the match.
"Crack!"
No sooner had he spoken.
"Zeus"'s body burst forth with dazzling golden radiance, horrific arcs of lightning constantly crackling.
"Boom boom boom!!"
The crystal chandeliers hanging high in the hall shattered on the spot.
Plunging the entire underground hall into pitch darkness.
Fortunately, "Zeus" was glowing, allowing the assassins who were not top-grade to see clearly inside the hall.
"Boom!!"
In the midst of the terrifying thunderstorm, "Zeus" seemed to transform into the Thunder God, majestic and inviolable. With a flash of lightning, he suddenly charged at Mu Jinyu.
"Clang!"
Mu Jinyu was also surprised by "Zeus"'s speed and hastily swung the Demon Sword Muramasa, clashing with a punch.
"Crack!"
But his strike caused no harm to Zeus; instead, due to the metallic conductivity, his arm felt slightly numb.
"Damn!"
Mu Jinyu cursed under her breath and then threw the Demon Sword Muramasa off the platform, handing it over to Xiang Mantang.
She then began to dodge "Zeus's" lion-like rushes and charges!
"Boom!"
"Bang!"
"Zeus," wearing knuckles, charged wildly across the competition platform, with arcs of thunder flashing, occasionally smashing his fist onto the platform and creating a deep crater.
The damage he caused to the platform was even more terrifying than the marks left by the earlier battle between "Athena" and Xiang Mantang.
"This guy is really too frightening. Just 'Athena' and 'Poseidon' together might not be a match for him, right? The top five in the personal assassin rankings are indeed formidable!"
"Originally, seeing 'Athena' and 'Poseidon' consecutively losing to the 'Unparalleled,' I was worried about whether 'Zeus' would be a match for this 'Unparalleled,' but now it seems that we were worrying too much!"
The spectators below the platform, watching "Zeus" continuously charging in the darkness and the beleaguered Mu Jinyu left with only the ability to dodge, couldn't help but discuss in low voices.
"Heavens... 'Invincible,' are you worried?"
San Liu stood next to Xiang Mantang, nearly calling out Tianshu directly, but catching himself and switching to the code name, his words revealing his concern for Mu Jinyu.
It's true, Mu Jinyu had defeated him, so logically, she should also be able to easily defeat "Zeus," who was ranked below him on the individual assassin list.
But San Liu was well aware that his overtaking "Zeus" on the personal killer rankings required special weapons that could ignore the terrifying thunder and lightning of "Zeus."
Even though Mu Jinyu had defeated him, going up against "Zeus" with bare hands, the outcome was really unpredictable.
Moreover, "Zeus" was currently wearing knuckles that could amplify the power of his thunder, adding wings to a tiger, making it even more difficult for Mu Jinyu to defeat him.
"Don't worry, as long as he gets serious, a mere Thunder Elementalist is nothing to be concerned about."
Hearing San Liu's words, Xiang Mantang stood with one hand behind his back, the other holding the Demon Sword diagonally, and spoke in a flat tone, full of confidence in Mu Jinyu.
"Let's hope so."
San Liu sighed softly.
On the platform.
Mu Jinyu left several afterimages in place, dodging several fierce strikes from "Zeus" in succession.
At that moment, she stood on the edge of the competition platform, taking a few quick breaths, her eyes now filled with anger and impatience as she stared at the oncoming Thunder Light.
"Hiss!"
Mu Jinyu took a leap from the ground, avoiding "Zeus's" strike, then performed the Thousand Weight Drop, leaping down violently, stomping hard on "Zeus's" head, and springing into the air again.
"Ha!"
"Zeus" stood in place, shaking his head vigorously. Mu Jinyu's stomp had almost mashed his brains, leaving him somewhat dazed.
Mu Jinyu fought against the numbness and scorching sensation in her legs, and while "Zeus's" arc of electricity was weak, she drew out three Silver Needles.
"Whiz whiz whiz!!!"
With a flick of her hand, the three Silver Needles shot through the flickering electric arc, immediately piercing into "Zeus's" back.
"Zap!"
As "Zeus" felt the acupuncture points hit by the needles, his True Yuan suddenly stagnated, and the surging arcs of lightning came to an instant halt.
"Huh?!"
"Zeus," realizing what was happening, his face greatly changed. He immediately tried to drive his True Yuan, desperate to unleash that terrifying electricity again...
But he couldn't make it happen.
And when "Zeus's" meridians were blocked and his True Yuan could not flow throughout his body, Mu Jinyu, holding three Silver Needles, slowly walked up to "Zeus," who looked as if he wanted to fart, but couldn't let it out no matter how hard he tried.
