In the nearly ten years that followed, there was a saying that spread throughout the assassin world: "Anyone targeted by Star Chaser, no matter where they are in the world, will never survive for more than ten days!"
This saying wasn't just words; it was built on countless bones and rivers of blood.
In his final mission, Hunter Liu's target was a high-ranking leader in the Washington Federation. The location of the assassination was in a military district of a large city in Washington.
However, what Hunter Liu did not expect was the immense determination of the target, which far surpassed everyone's expectations.
When the leader learned of Hunter Liu's presence in the vicinity, he decisively gave the order to detonate all the bombs in the military district...
The explosion destroyed nearly half of the city. No matter how skilled Hunter Liu was, he could not escape the catastrophe.
After the incident, the President of the Washington Federation issued a statement to the Earth Federation, declaring that the leader's actions were completely justified. Eliminating Star Chaser was worth any cost. Even if ten cities had been destroyed, it would have been worth it.
Perhaps in response to the President's words, not ten cities, but only half of one city was destroyed. And so, Hunter Liu wasn't completely erased, but his soul was transported to this new world called the Huaxing Continent.
This was a world of cultivation, a world where the strong dominated, and the weak were prey to the strong.
But what frustrated Hunter Liu immensely was that he had been reborn into the body of an infant who had recently died. He was now an abandoned baby with no parents.
One day later, the elderly village chief of Liusong Village found the "baby" Hunter Liu and took him in. From then on, he lived a simple life in the village.
Hunter Liu quickly accepted this ordinary life.
He had never experienced such a life in his previous world. Though he had no parents or relatives, he was happy, and to him, the people in Baiyun Village who cared for him were his family, his parents.
Hunter Liu lived this simple life for eighteen years, and he didn't want it to end. Having experienced greatness in his past life, he was now willing to embrace ordinariness, as long as he had the love and joy of family by his side.
Now, with external forces attempting to destroy the peaceful life he had built, Hunter Liu would not allow it.
...
Feeling the overwhelming killing intent radiating from Hunter Liu, Liu Huihui was shocked. At that moment, Hunter Liu felt like an entirely different person to him.
However, Liu Huihui didn't think too much about it. There was one thing he was certain of: Hunter Liu was his brother, someone he had grown up with. So, after a long silence, Liu Huihui spoke, "Brother Hunter, I want to destroy the Tianlang Gang just as much as you do, but their power is too great. We can't possibly handle them. If we go to their headquarters, there's a good chance we'll end up dead."
Hunter Liu had already increased his speed. After a few minutes of walking, he had closed the distance to the Tianlang Gang's territory. His expression was resolute, and his tone filled with determination. "Even if I die, I will protect the safety of the villagers."
Liu Huihui looked at Hunter Liu, opened his mouth, but didn't know how to continue persuading him...
After a long pause, perhaps because they were nearing the Tianlang Gang's location, or perhaps for other reasons, Liu Huihui finally spoke up, "In that case, how do you plan to deal with the Tianlang Gang, Brother Hunter? Are we just going to walk right into their base?"
Hunter Liu wasn't highly skilled, and Liu Huihui didn't believe Hunter Liu would choose to confront the Tianlang Gang head-on.
Sure enough, when Liu Huihui asked this question, Hunter Liu stopped. His eyes scanned the surroundings before settling on a small hill covered with trees. After a moment of contemplation, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he quickly pulled a wooden box from his chest. "Now, we burn the mountain..."
